Justice for Eben Hammond

OAKHURST — How long will it take for justice to be realized in the murder of Eben Hammond? His life was extinguished in the fading minutes of July 7, 2021, and whoever was responsible first hit him and then sped off into the night, not bothering to stop, not caring to see the results of what had been done. That person has gone on, presumably, to life his or her own life, leaving Eben’s in the dust at the feet of his friends.

It’s been:

  • 6.8 months
  • 29.9 weeks
  • 209 days
  • 5016 hours
  • 300,960 minutes
  • 18,057,600 seconds

It’s time to come forward and own up to your actions.
