In a little noticed ruling issued on March 6, 2023, Judge Roger Griffin ruled that David Lee Hamblin could receive bail of a mere $100,000 subject to stipulations, such as wearing a GPS monitor and abstaining from contact with the alleged female victim in one of his cases. That female victim and the prosecution had alleged that threats had been made against her, but Judge Griffin ruled that the State had not provided objective evidence that the threats were attributable to David Lee Hamblin. More egregiously, the ruling listed the initials of the female victim, which could be used by any enterprising individual with access to the information and probable cause statement to identify the victim’s actual name.
Investigations in Ritual Abuse knows who the female victim is, but because she has not been previously identified, IRA has withheld that information.
Judge Griffin does not dispute that the State met the requirement for supporting its charges with substantial evidence necessary to deny David Lee Hamblin’s request for bail. In fact, Judge Griffin noted that Hamblin “[made] no effort to refute this “substantial evidence” finding.” Judge Griffin proceeded from this undisputed point to rule that there is no evidence that Hamblin will be placed in a position of trust with any minor child, and therefore he can be released on bail. Judge Griffin also ruled that the allegations were thirty years old, but neglected to note that Hamblin’s own daughters claimed that he was still visiting their home with Roselle Stevenson as late as 2006, where he continued to abuse Katie and Miriam Hamblin.
In Griffin’s ruling, he takes great pains to note that there are no recent allegations of abuse presented to him by the prosecution, when in fact the allegations are a matter of public record dated to 17 years ago. Griffin also claimed that while the prosecution produced a package sent to the female victim in one of the current cases, prosecutors “failed to produce easily obtainable detailed information regarding the package and its origin such as via subpoena to the servicer/merchant that would have assisted in corroborating any inference” that David Lee Hamblin had something to do with the threats made against the victim. The fact remains that the evidence presented in David Hamblin’s original bail hearing met the threshold for denying his request for bail, and in the time since his original hearing, the victim has received at least one physical package threatening her for reporting Hamblin’s abuse.
It would appear that Judge Roger Griffin is engaged in the kind of shenanigans that the Hamblin daughters alleged were commonplace when they accused their father in 2012 to 2014. While it may strain credulity to believe that a grand conspiracy of satanic ritual abusers with a penchant for human sacrifice and cannibalism are entrenched in the Utah legal and political establishments, the credulity of the credulous is strained by the news that David Lee Hamblin may yet be released on a mere $100,000 bail after his accuser was threatened. Judge Griffin also neglected to reference the other victim in the second case against David Hamblin in his ruling.
Mark your calendars, because March 22, 2023 is the date of David Lee Hamblin’s improbable second chance at obtaining bail.
If there was any question as to whether or not the CS still had "effective" control of key local judgement seats, this development confirms they do. We cannot rely on a corrupt system for justice. This is heartbreaking, but we cannot give up. At least now we know what we're up against. I will continue to methodically share the truth about this network of evil to as many as will listen with the same type of patience, logic, reason and facts as GOEL until my dying breath. We need more hearts and minds to join us in this fight. I place my trust in Christ ALONE! ONLY THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!
Not loving that. You would think he would be a fool to try anything... but you don’t know.
