Oklahoma law calls for governor to appoint new DA after Hammer death

  • July 9, 2022
District attorney candidate David Hammer speaks during a forum Monday night in Shawnee.

Following the death Sunday of David Hammer, who recently won the district attorney race for Pottawatomie and Lincoln counties, Oklahoma state law appears to call for the governor to appoint a new top prosecutor for District 23.
