The charges against Scott are finally dropped. It took far too long for justice to prevail over these political games but we achieved exactly what we set out to do. We are keeping our eyes open to ensure this injustice is never repeated.

Our friend Scott Hapgood is fighting for his life. He has been wrongfully accused of manslaughter and he's due back in Anguilla on November 11th, but there is no guarantee of a safe return (or a return at all). He has a target on his back. There seems to be more of a focus on politics than facts and evidence and locals have issued numerous public death threats. We need our US elected officials to intervene on Scott's behalf. This situation is neither fair nor just, his human rights are being violated and Anguillan officials will not publicly guarantee Scott’s safety as they mandate he participate in these judicial hearings.
Please sign this petition in an effort to not only draw this case to the forefront, but also to resolve it quickly. There is no need for Scott to return to Anguilla for the fourth time, further jeopardizing his life, when charges could and should be dropped based on conclusive toxicology evidence that exonerates Scott. In the very least, he should be allowed to participate in this preliminary hearing remotely, from US soil.
Our goal is to collect 6,500 signatures and submit this petition to CT Senators Murphy and Blumenthal. Please help us by sharing with your friends, family and colleagues on Facebook, Twitter and via good old fashion email. You do not need to be a CT resident to sign. Thanks for your support! #STANDWITHTHEHAPGOODS

We just hit 5,000 signatures in our fight to get Scott home. Anguillan officials are ignoring the facts but they cannot ignore thousands of us demanding justice. I am taking this momentum directly to the Senators to force them to act right now.

If Anguilla authorities were following the facts and evidence here at all, then this man wouldn’t even be on trial. This is a witch hunt. Anguilla authorities probably think every American is rich and they’re trying to extort him.
My daughter was a friend of Scott’s in high school & we know him as really upright & good guy!!! He has a right to protect himself & daughters from this guy who tried to force himself on Scott with a knife....for heavens sake!!!!
This man acted in self defense to save his life, as well as his wife's and his 3 children's. The maintenance worker came into their room with a knife and tried to murder Scott. Please drop these outrageous charges against him.
I’ve followed this case closely, and am a frequent visitor to Anguilla, an island and people we love . This truly is a nightmare and Scott should not have to go back to Anguilla for the fourth time. The truth is in the hard evidence.
This type of situation is exactly what elected representatives should be helping with--an international conflict that private citizens cannnot be expected to handle on their own. Please look after the interests of your constituents.
this should not even be an issue
He is innocent. Self and family defence!

I worked with Scott for a number of years and know him to be of the highest integrity and character. He is respectful and honorable and there is no conceivable way in which Scott would have acted, as accused, without justification.
