LAWSUITS AGAINST HAMLET AND OTHERS ARE BEING CONSIDERED

Individuals that were victims of Boyce Hamlet's failure to make legal notifications that he was a Brady officer, pursuant to Brady v. Maryland (1963) 373 U.S. 83, are considering taking legal action against him and his former employers.  

The Brady case requires that to ensure a fair criminal trial, prosecutors are obligated to notify criminal defendants about exculpatory evidence, which includes evidence that could be used to challenge the credibility of a material prosecution witness.  This is especially significant to the ability to effectively prosecute cases because an officer is often the only witness to the charged criminal act or the incriminating statements or conduct, and criminal defendants often dispute the officer's account of evidence (See our previous post).

The potential legal actions could involve multiple jurisdictions in two states and go back to 2004 when Hamlet was employed by the Arkansas Department of Community Correction as a parole officer, or 2000 if you use Hamlet's fake employment history he provided to employers and the Arkansas Commission on Law Enforcement Standards & Training violation of Arkansas laws.

An advertisement has appeared in various newspapers and on internet message boards that asks individuals that had a criminal court case in which Boyce Hamlet testified against them or one that Hamlet was involved in the investigation and prosecution, to contact them about important information. 

As the news media has reported, there appears to be an organized effort by Republican office holders and their appointees to cover up Hamlet's misdeeds and criminal acts.  These are the players:








If Hamlet had any sense at all, or if he would listen to the advice of his attorney wife, you would think that he would just resign and seek employment outside of law enforcement to make this nightmare go away.  Surely his pals at Diamond State Consulting could find something for him to do.

Disgraced ex-LRPD cop and felon lied on her employment application to get job with Arkansas State Police

In 2009, Sheva Howard was a Little Rock cop. She began working at LRPD in 2001 as a Crime Scene Specialist and in 2003 she became a police officer. Howard also worked off-duty, in her LRPD uniform, at Dillard's until she was caught in an act of thievery.  Howard purchased one purse, but it was in a bag so heavy she had to drag it on the ground. That bag was later found to have multiple purses packed into another purse. That incident also ended her career as a cop and gained her a felony conviction.   The LRPD Internal Investigation file reads like a script from an episode of Law & Order.   Howard was found to be untruthful during the internal investigation.   Here's what the local newspaper published about her criminal trial. Howard's supervisor at Dillard's was Willie Robinson. It just so happened that Robinson was and is also an Arkansas State Trooper.   Howard tried to have her conviction overturned but the Arkansas Court of Appeals upheld her conviction.   After

Three LRPD cops "relieved of duty" over incident at Club Trois

Sources at LRPD have confirmed a tip we received that three LRPD cops, Brad Stewart, Lee Pitts and Justin Sims have been "relieved of duty" in connection with an incident at Club Trois. The story we were told is that Stewart was working off-duty at Club Trois and dealt with an inebriated female club patron by soaking her with pepper spray.  LRPD General Order  ("G.O.") 303 requires that a cop that uses physical force, non-lethal control and compliance devices, on or off-duty, follow certain procedures. Use of pepper spray is a Level 4 event. Here are the specific procedures. LRPD sources tell us that they are trained to call MEMS after they use pepper spray or a taser on an individual. They are to file an incident report and they file an officer's report or letter form (5600-2) with their immediate supervisor for each use of force incident. Here's an example of an officer letter form.   Not a single procedure was followed in this incident. And to make matter
