Hammer with a crime,” Tiffiny Blacknell,  Director of Communications for DA George Gascon, told Entertainment Tonight in a statement on Wednesday, May 31. “As prosecutors, we have an ethical responsibility to only charge cases that we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt.”   The statement claimed that the DA’s office has an “ethical responsibility” to only issue charges when the crimes can be proved “beyond a reasonable doubt.” “We know that it is hard for women to report sexual assault,” the statement continued. “Even when we cannot move forward with a prosecution, our victim service representatives will be available to those who seek our victim support services.”   In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies Following Wednesday’s announcement, Hammer — who shares kids Grace, 8, and Ford Douglas Armand, 6, with ex-wife Elizabeth Chambers —  took to social media to praise the Los Angeles DA for their “thorough investigation,” adding that he has “stood by this entire time, that no crime was committed.”   “I look forward to beginning what will be a long, difficult process of putting my life together now that my name is cleared,” he concluded his Instagram statement.
