Brandon Hinman, New York inmate 17B1951, born 1983, incarceration intake 2017 at age 34, and again in 2019 at age 36; paroled 10/10/2019; parole discharged 02/06/2021

Grand Larceny, Forgery

In June 2015, Brandon Hinman asked the judge to give him one last chance  before he was sentenced for stealing money from a fund set up to help his dying wife and their twin daughters.

“I take full responsibility for everything I’ve done,” Hinman told Cayuga County Judge Thomas Leone.

Hinman has received inpatient and outpatient treatment for drug abuse since he pleaded guilty 9 months earlier. Under an agreement with the Cayuga County District Attorney’s Office, Hinman was required to pay $30,000 in restitution. He owes a total of $45,300 in restitution.

Hinman showed up to court with no restitution money and he asked the judge to give him more time to come up with the money. Hinman said he’s in treatment and feels he is a changed man.

Hinman, 31, is the widower of Jenna Hinman, a 26-year-old Central New York mother whose battle with a rare cancer captured the attention of people around the world. She died in May 2014, and is survived by her two premature infant twin girls. The twins’ first birthday was in March 2015.

Brandon Hinman was arrested several months after his wife’s death and charged with stealing about $45,000 worth of donations from a bank account set up to help cover Jenna Hinman’s medical expenses and benefit his daughters.

He was indicted in July 2014 with the two felonies in connection with allegedly forging names on checks to get money from the account.

Brandon Hinman pleaded guilty April 2015 to second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and third-degree grand larceny, both felonies.

Hinman had the opportunity to speak before he was sentenced. Hinman began to cry when he spoke about Jenna Hinman.

“My wife (long pause) knows who I am,” he said.

Hinman said he prays to her every day and visits her grave.

“I want to have the chance to continue drug treatment,” he said.

Cayuga County District Attorney Jon Budelmann says Hinman has been given enough chances. Budelmann said no restitution has been paid, but Brandon Hinman has purchased a $70,000 vehicle and sold it to buy a BMW.

“He’s selfish and self-serving,” Budelmann said.

Judge Leone agreed that Hinman has been given several chances. But before Leone sentenced Hinman he gave Hinman an option to take five years probation with the first six months served in county jail or to take a state prison sentence of 1 to 3 years with no probation.

Leone warned Hinman that if he violated probation, Hinman would face 2 1/3 to 7 years in prison. A condition of the probation is to pay the restitution. Leone said he’s not confident that Hinman will pay the money.

Hinman selected the probation with the six months in county jail. He was taken into custody.

Hinman said he would do whatever the court ordered him to do.

“I won’t let you down,” he said.

In July 2017 and again July 2019 Hinman was sentenced to short periods of prison incarceration for probation violations.   Parole was satisfied in 2021.  

He went on to Real Estate development in Texas.

В первом эпизоде видно, что подсудимые впервые носят кандалы. Им непривычно ходить скованными. Интересно, после какой по счёту прогулки в оковах появляется привыкание и “лёгкий шаг”?

Steven Jameson, Oklahoma inmate 638135, born 1989, incarceration intake in 2016 at age 27, released

Manslaughter

A Tulsa man pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree manslaughter in November 2022.

On Christmas Eve, 2009, Steven Wade Jameson was driving on State Highway 51, west of Sand Springs, when he crossed the center line and hit another vehicle head-on.

The victims inside the other vehicle, Angela, Michael, and James Mulanax, were killed.

Evidence showed that Jameson was driving over the speed limit in poor weather conditions with marijuana in his system.

Jameson had previously pleaded guilty to all three counts of manslaughter in 2011 and was sentenced to 24 years in prison.

He served four years in prison before former Judge James Caputo vacated his sentence and allowed him to withdraw his plea.

As part of the plea agreement, Jameson waived his appellate and post-conviction rights, which means all of his appeals are now exhausted.

Jameson was sentenced to four years in the Oklahoma Department of Corrections and was given credit for the time served.

Amazing how real role play can be!!

Last weekend with 19 other like-minded men! Florida prison blues worn by an inmate on a maximum security cellblock. Guard isn't too bad either.

Вообще я мечтаю пройти этот процесс. Но это из разряда несбыточного.
