Walker Suing District Attorney
A former congressional candidate is suing Clearfield County District Attorney Bill Shaw Jr. in federal court, saying that Shaw sabotaged his campaign.
Derek Walker was one of nine candidates vying for the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional District seat last spring that was eventually won by Glenn Thompson.
Five days before the April 22 primary, Walker was arrested on burglary-related charges because, according to court records, he broke into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment early in the morning of August 25, 2007 and used his cell phone to get a video of her with another man.
Shaw says Walker's guilty plea speaks for itself, but Walker says he entered the plea because he feels the Clearfield County judicial system is biased against him.
