<div class="IPBDescription">The State Vs. James Hamm</div> As i was watching 60 minutes, they had a very intresting story on The State Vs. James Hamm. I was wondering if anyone else saw this if you have not please visit this link <a href='http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/13/60II/main649084.shtml' target='_blank'>http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/10/13/...ain649084.shtml</a>
Do you think James Hamm should be able to practice law and be able to take the bar exam?

    It seems that this guy <i>was</i> a bad guy, a VERY bad guy. But, since the state of Arizona feels that he's reformed enough to be on the streets and not going back to his old habits, I think that's fine. to the people who are proclaiming that "He's been freeloading off the taxpayers for nearly 20 years!" you have to remember that if he was still in prison, he could either enrich his mind and try to make the most of his life, or he could be someone's beefwarmer. So, he's out and still getting an education on taxpayer money, so? Would you prefer someone who's willing to go through the rigors of the Bar exam and become a responsible citizen of the world, or would you prefer him as a fry cook at McDonalds in some urban squalor, and possibly back to his old Drifter ways? If this guy passes the exam, i'd SEEK HIM OUT to represent me, someone who is willing to change his ways that drastically is fine in my book.

    Bastard, freeloading off the public being in prison all that time!!!

    No one pays attention to the fact that he really had no choice in the matter or anything do they...

    well, the purpose of prisons is to rehabilitate ppl, so maybee this guy aint so bad now. You have to get these people have a job so they can become part of society again. If we knew this guy in person, we would be able to say if he is qualified to be a lawyer or not.

    And besides, we don't know if he actually did it or not, being convicted doesn't necessarily mean that u are guilty.

    Just a sidenote: He pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty.
