...circulating a petition in Cambridge calling upon the Massachusetts judicial system to conduct a thorough investigation of the Humes case. Currently without counsel, Humes says he is considering surrendering himself to the authorities to hasten the resolution of the charges pending against him, and to publicize his alternative detoxification treatment.
