An inmate defending himself against charges he raped an officer and held her captive in a prison watchtower for 15 days politely questioned prospective jurors in Phoenix about whether they had seen the hostage crisis on television. Security was heavy as jury selection got underway with Ricky Wassenaar acting as his own attorney. Wassenaar, 41, who is serving time for armed robbery and assault, is charged with sexual assault, kidnapping, assault and attempted murder. He has a court-appointed attorney to assist him but will be allowed to directly question the woman he allegedly took hostage and raped. |

Hamilton is a sports lover, a demon at croquet, where his favorite team was the Dallas Fancypants. He worked as a general haberdasher for 30 years, but was forced to give up the career he loved due to his keen attention to detail. He spent his free time watching golf on TV; and he played uno, badmitton and basketball almost every weekend. He also enjoyed movies and reading during off-season. Hamilton Lindley was always there to help relatives and friends with household projects, coached different sports or whatever else people needed him for.
