GRACIE TRENTHAM - 3 yo (2009)/ Charged: David Hammer - Chattanooga TN
15-year old David Hammer was supposed to go on trial on Monday for the murder of a young girl.
But he didn't.
Hammer was accused of raping and killing a three year old girl who lived in his house back in April.
An autopsy found she died of extensive trauma to her neck and head.
But today prosecutors dropped all charges against the youth.
They said they were "without proof" right now.. But could re-file charges at a later date.

From July 24th - - -

But on Friday, Judge Suzanne Bailey ruled that won't happen.
The Judge found Hammer may not understand the consequences of his actions.
His will remain in the Juvenile Detention Center until his case is settled
But he didn't.

still trying to find out if he is in Juvenile detention till 18 and then will be released? this was a particularly brutal rape which led to her death - i don't believe he can be rehabilitated.
