Lawmakers Clash Over Hammill Case Study
Wisconsin legislators clash as Rep. Virgil Roberts accuses Rep. Bernard Lewison of avoiding a study of the Hammill case. Hammill, convicted in La Crosse County for killing John Hotchkiss Jr. and raping Diane Merfeld, is in Green Bay's state reformatory on probation when the crimes occurred. Roberts says further investigation would be duplicative since the WCCJ is already examining the system.
