Lawsuit Against DA Dismissed

A federal lawsuit filed by a former Congressional candidate against the Clearfield County District Attorney has been dismissed.

Derek Walker of Bigler had accused William Shaw Jr. of violating his civil rights when he filed criminal charges 5 days before last year's Republican primary election for the 5th District congressional seat.

A judge cited prosecutorial immunity in dismissing the case.

The charges against Walker stemmed from an August 25, 2007, incident when he went to his ex-girlfriend's apartment and took videos of her while she was with another man.

Walker pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, invasion of privacy, harassment and simple trespass. Charges of burglary, criminal trespass and stalking were dropped. He was sentenced to one year of probation.
