Killer's Request For Freedom Denied

IONIA -- Time may have the capacity to heal all wounds. But 24 years doesn't.

That was obvious during two hours of gut-wrenching testimony from the family of murder victim John Hubbard at a hearing last month to consider whether one of his killers should be freed.

"Roger Ruthruff hated my husband," his wife, Lola Hubbard, told the state panel considering whether to recommend clemency to Gov. Jennifer Granholm. "Roger Ruthruff planned the murder. Roger Ruthruff needs to continue to wake up every day behind those prison bars ... and think about what he took from us."

Ruthruff bowed his head and listened quietly to her words. He was 18 in 1986, when the robbery of a mid-Michigan grocery went awry and his partner bludgeoned Hubbard.

With a spotless prison record, his secondary role in the crime and his youth at the time, Ruthruff is one of the rare but increasing number of Michigan prisoners who get the chance to make a formal plea for commutation.

    If you just got hit in a car accident, it can be hard to know who to talk to, if anybody. If you have been in a hit by a drunk driver in waco , then calling Dunnam & Dunnam is the right choice. It is one of the best decisions that you can make for your car wreck case. Choosing a great lawyer is important to the outcome of your matter.

    Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
