Former Democrat State Senator Charles Walker’s latest appeal has now gone down down in flames and Chief U.S. District Judge William T. Moore Jr., in a 68-page order, has stated that his arguments are out of time.

“The clerk of court is directed to close this case,’’ Moore wrote in the order filed last week.

Walker, an Augusta Democrat, was indicted in 2004 on 142-counts alleging numerous fraudulent schemes and tax evasion and convicted a year later.

Case closed.

That’s strange, when I listen to Barnes he makes me think the Democrats where a bunch of angels when they held the majority.

It was only 142 counts. Pretty much just a technical violation.

The NCAA gave him 3 years of reduced scholarships.

Charles Walker is not the University of Florida, Byte Me, he’s going to get a real sentence.

ByteMe January 14, 2010 at 3:05 pm

Or Alabama. What do you mean “going to”?

Maybe the new ethics rules should try something like that. One violation and they take some interns away.

Make them forfeit three dinners with lobbyists.
