David Paul Hammer is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on October 9, 1958 in United States, United States.

Despite moments of small success, Hammer continued to use drugs to cope with his past. At age 19, in January 1978, while high on PCP, Hammer realized he needed help and, hoped to obtain treatment, went to the emergency room at Baptist Hospital where he had been previously hospitalized in their mental health unit. His bizarre behavior attracted the attention of a hospital security guard. Hammer brandished a pistol, believing it was unloaded, shouting, “I need help!” In his drug-induced state, Hammer took 3 people hostage. After hours of failed negotiations, a SWAT team finally caught him and took him in.

Except for two brief escapes during the 1980s, Hammer was continuously incarcerated for over 40 years. Hammer served 30 of those years in solitary confinement isolation, and 16 years on death row.

Hammer credits the nine-year-old daughter of Juan Raul Garza, Brownsville drug boss and fellow death row inmate (executed in 2001), for his motivation to fight his conviction. The daughter, Elizabeth Ann Garza, reportedly told Hammer that ‘his life could make a difference for others.’ Elizabeth Ann’s letter to President Bill Clinton appealing against her own father’s sentence was also reported to have motivated Hammer to appeal his own death sentence. Hammer himself wrote to President Clinton, asking him to commute for Garza’s sentence to life imprisonment, describing the death penalty as ‘plagued by systemic bias, disparity and arbitrariness.’ Clinton Era documents released in 2014 showed “former President Jimmy Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, weighed in on behalf of Juan Raul Garza and David Paul Hammer, arguing that Mr. Clinton should spare them because of problems with the application of capital punishment in America.”
