FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
A Victory For Tamara Hudson and The Human Solution International
WARREN, Michigan, December 22, 2014 – For Tamara Hudson, mother of three, today was a victorious day. Tamara was being sentenced for four cannabis related felonies.
As she stood in front of the judge to be sentenced he stated that what she did was wrong. Tamara feels strongly that the more than fifteen court supporters, as well as the sixty letters that were written on her behalf asking for leniency, greatly influenced the judge’s decision. Tamara got two years probation and a six month suspended sentence instead of six months in jail. This is a great example of what defendant support can accomplish.
Tamara has worked tirelessly on her case from posting videos to asking supporters to write letters to the judge. Along with focusing on her own case, Tamara has worked to unite THSI chapters in Michigan and show other defendants support as well. Tamara left her own court appearance today and went to another defendant’s court hearing instead of celebrating her own victory.
President of THSI, Joe Grumbine, stated with tears in his eyes, “Tamara is a classic textbook Solution case and followed all of our advice up until the end. She is a true inspiration.” Tamara is an example to all of perseverance and the change a defendant can make in their own case as well as others. There will be a full length article about Tamara’s Journey to Justice soon – keep a look out for it. Go Ribbon Heads!
