Hamm's family: 'We just want to move forward' after release

DWIGHT -- Amanda Hamm walked out of prison Tuesday into a cool, sunny morning to start a new life after serving her sentence for her role in the deaths of her three children. | Video

Hamm, now 32, was released five years and one week after her three children drowned in Clinton Lake.

The former Clinton woman did not speak to reporters who watched her release from a nearby parking lot at Dwight Correctional Center.

Hamm was picked up by her mother, Ann Powers, and stepfather, Lindy Powers, both of Clinton.

A jury rejected murder charges for Hamm and convicted her in December 2006 of child endangerment. The latter charge said she allowed her children to be caught in a life-threatening situation in the back seat of her car while it was parked on a steep boat ramp on the lake.

The car rolled down the ramp and sank. The driver of the car, Hamm’s former boyfriend, Maurice LaGrone Jr., is serving a life sentence for murder in connection with the deaths.

Hamm was sentenced to 10 years in prison in February 2007. With an allowance for time served in jail waiting for her trial and credit for good behavior in prison, she served about 19 months in Dwight Correctional Center.

The Rev. Don Ferrill of Clinton has supported Hamm over the past five years and visited her in prison. The lives of Hamm and many others will continue to be affected by the tragedy, said Ferrill.

“There’s really no closure to this. It will be part of the lives of the families for the rest of their lives,” he said.

And Hamm will carry the burden of the deaths of Christopher Hamm, 6, Austin Brown, 3, and Kyleigh Hamm, 23 months, long after she leaves Dwight, Ferrill suggested.

“She may not be behind the bars of an institution but she’s still imprisoned by it,” Ferrill said of the children’s deaths.

Members of Hamm’s family have declined media interviews about her release.

“We have a long road ahead of us even after Amanda is released. We just want to move forward,” said Ann Powers.

At her sentencing hearing before now-retired DeWitt County Judge Stephen Peters, Hamm said she regretted her relationship with LaGrone, whom she described as selfish and immature.

The families of the three children were angered by the sentence, which was half the 20-year maximum Hamm could have received. Law enforcement officials also were disappointed with the outcome of Hamm’s case.

DeWitt County Sheriff Roger Massey, part of the prosecution team that worked more than three years on the case, said Monday that many people remain dissatisfied by the way the case ended.

“A lot of people in the community are disgusted with the differences between the two penalties. But this is the way the trial system works. There’s not always equity there,” Massey said of the Hamm and LaGrone verdicts.

Hamm will serve a two-year period of mandatory supervised release, formerly known as parole. She must report to authorities who will monitor her living arrangements and other activities. Details of where Hamm will relocate were not disclosed by the state Department of Corrections.

And why didn't she try to come to their rescue? I have no children, but if I did, saving their lives over mine is a no brainer. I can't believe only five years for three kids. Pot dealers do more time. "

tatbtime wrote on Sep 22, 2008 12:14 AM:

" I hope she never has more children, that maybe should of been a condition of her release? It isn't about race, fairness, etc,. it is about 3 precious children that got in their way, this is so very sad. As a mother, I'll never understand choosing a boyfriend over my precious children, if it was discussed wouldn't it be pre-meditated? "

" There are two justice systems in this country....explain to me again how justice is blind? Anyone with a brain and eyes can see it with Ms Hamm walking out of prison, while Mr. LaGrone remains behind bars for the rest of his life. People want to know why black people do not trust the police and do not trust the justice system............THIS CASE IS ONLY THE LATEST EXAMPLE. This is the kind of stuff that makes people angry. "

" First of all, thank you for telling this board about the jury. I too wanted to mention that. I would also like to point out that I agree that if my children were in a car and it was sinking that I would fight with all my life to save them. I would be soaked, froze, and in the car with them when help arrived. It only took medical pesonal a minute and a half after arriving to get the kids out. I also agree that it is totally unfair that Maurice gets a life sentence when her time seems to be so little. However, I guess I should just say that none of us were on that jury or at the boat ramp that night so we really don't have all the evidence. All we can go by is what we have read and what we have heard. She grew up a rough childhood and now she is somewhere where maybe she can get some appropriate counciling. Hopefully, one day we can get some answers as to why she didn't try to save her children. "

" how is it a race issue and how do you come up with it's b/c she's a women. She was found guilty only on child endangerment by a group of her peers. A jury convicted her of that not a judge, not the judicial system. But the people who sat in that court and decided that that worthless women only endangered her children. "

" To Outspoken: It's people like you that keep bringing the race card into play. Look at what happened in normal?? Give me a break, lets take a couple of days off of work to figure out why someone put a noose in a workers area. Get over yourself. This case has nothing to do with race but all to do with responsibility, as far as I know none of you people on here were jurors in this case or you would know the facts. I do agree though it's sad that she is out of prison so quickly, some of you have said that as a Mother you would die trying to save your children and she did not do this and for that I believe she needs to serve her whole sentence. They found Lagrone guilty of taking the lives of those children and that is why he got the sentence he got. Has nothing to do with him being black and her being white. "

....... wrote on Sep 10, 2008 3:41 PM:

" To imho, the upset is the jury for Lagrone had to chose from murder or innocent and had that been their only selection for Hamm...probably would not have been innocent. Plus the Judge could have given her 10 more years than he did on the child endangerment charge. "

imho wrote on Sep 10, 2008 3:05 PM:

" Let's not forget that she was convicted by a jury of her peers. A bunch of average joe's were asked is this murder and/or child endangerment; they felt that it was merely child endangerment. If you want to blame someone for a short sentence, it would be the prosecutor since murder was an option but the jury didn't believe it was murder in Hamm's case beyond a reasonable doubt. "

" The reason it is called "mandatory supervised release" now instead of parole is because of the dumming down of America and not Political Correctness. It is because most idiotic Americans didn't know the difference between probation(given at sentencing in lieu of jail/prison time) and parole(given after being prematurely released from prison). "

" Thank You "wildbill05"
I am a mother of six children, three raised and out of the home, two of the three serve our country and the other is a nurse my three younger ones at home are very good children too. I also have two grandchildren that I personally would do anything to save, BUT my point being I am a mother and grandmother and even worked in the system for years and seen many cases of abuse. I have a pretty good judge in character and just have a different feeling about this one, I know what the main picture looks like, but I also paid close attention to the details and the "Big" picture and I really believe there is more to it then this woman being a calculated participant in these murders. People react and panic in different ways and I have seen some very good parents panic in very odd ways. "

" This is an injustice to the children, their fathers and family, to society and to Mr. LaGrone. I do not agree with Rev. Ferrill when he said, 'she’s still imprisoned by it.' To Rev. Ferrill - you have to CARE and have a conscience to be imprisoned by anything. Obviously, this 'person' did not care and had NO conscience at all when it came to trying to save her children. This 'person' should be behind bars for the rest of her life just as Mr. LaGrone is. I don't know either one of them, but no one will ever convince me that race did not play a part in this. P.S. I am white. "

And yes God is the only true judge, but we as a society are supposed to protect those who can't protect themselves, i.e. those innocent kids at the mercy of monsters. We failed them and now so did the legal system. And those are the facts, nothing judgmental about it. "

The Original JD wrote on Sep 9, 2008 3:52 PM:

" This is just another reflection of how society treats people differently according to gender, especially when children are involved. The woman is thought to be affected more by the loss of the kids due to some innate bond they are supposed to share. It is the same reason women almost always get custody of children in a divorce, and are not required to get the fathers consent before an abortion. Society can not have it both ways. If people continue to treat women differently when kids are involved, things like this will continue to happen. "

Hopefully she can get on with her life and have other children some day, I'm sure she's in no hurry.

She was at first being charged with 9 counts of 1st degree murder but ended up doing prison time on a charge of child endangerment. All at the same time LaGrone is doing life for murder. I think we need to group together and make some changes to the system...not just judicial but lots of areas. Why should the system protect women who dont deserve to be protected?! "

While everyone else is still grieving she is allowed to act like nothing happened. As far as Lagrone, no it is not fair but it is what it is. He is guilty for doing the same thing that Amanda did, just not sure how he could not get his charges lowered.

Just remember it is not us who will have the final say.....she will be judged again! "
