Walker PAROLED!

Excerpt:

>>Wesley G. "Buck" Walker has been paroled from federal prison after serving 22 years of a life sentence for murder in a case that led to a best-selling novel and a TV miniseries.

Walker, 69, earned release from the U.S. Parole Commission in part because of advancing age and poor health. He was set free Tuesday from prison in Victorville, Calif., although he wasn't up for mandatory release until 2018.<<

Not because he was considered rehabilitated, mind you.

reply

I'm shocked. He committed such a horrible crime in 1974. They let him out because of advancing age and poor health?! What in the world is wrong with the justice system for crying outloud?!!

reply

How many prisoners have poor health and are taken to a better place with total
security? Quite a few.

Richard Speck, John Wayne Gacy and the rest died in prison.

This F*(k face was so evil and narly that he claimed he had a good lawyer and once he got out he would tell the real story of what happened.


Just like Scott Pederson and his rights for himself.

reply

What's wrong with it? You're kidding right? It's because liberals have eroded a true justice system simply because they have bleeding hearts for the criminals rather than the victims. Come on, get real.

reply

I am being real. It's just that I'm shocked that a cold-blooded killer was let out due to his "situation".

The U.S. prison-industrial complex encourages the passage of laws granting punitive punishment through mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines for a wide range of crimes (not only violent) and the disproportionate incarceration of minorities and the poor. At the same time it releases governmental oversight of prisons across the nation in the name of "small government" and turns them over to private corporations to run the day-to-day operations, resulting in a system that demands a constant supply of prisoners in order for these private enterprises to stay in business and make profits (more beds, same space = profits), concluding in grossly overcrowded jails and prisons. To alleviate the pressure of overpopulation and to house those who are determined to be dangerous and prone to recidivism, state parole boards are forced to release prisoners who they can claim are no longer a threat to society, very often because of declining health or advancing age.

That explanation is a little more heady than "because liberals suck", but a really simple one is "The U.S. Prison System Likes To Discharge Prisoners Who Are Older Than 70".

What's interesting is that evidently no one knows where Walker is right now. http://palmyragazette.org/ Apparently the few occasional sometime residents of Palmyra use this web site to keep in touch and the "August Front" is verrry interesting. Mentions that Walker went missing on a trip to visit family, that his email accounts have been deleted and his web site "Palmyra Mystery" is now some odd merchant site with a very bad color scheme.

Its possible that Buckerooo died and his realatives are keeping that information as quiet as possible so as to protect the grave from vandals.

His parole office would know where he went to, in death, or otherwise. They should let the public know. After all, we fed him for 22 years while he was in prison. And, just because he's 70 now doesn't mean he can't hold a gun and shoot someone.... he was a career criminal... not just a single, one time killer. And after spending 22 years in prison, he's probably just as dangerous as you might expect with a weapon in his hands.

Didn't understand your comment about the "August Front". As for his so called book, I read an excerpt from it.... it was typical jibberish from an ex-con trying to make a few bucks at the expense of the real truth. But nobody bought it is my guess. So they shut down the website.

reply

"August Front" is a page on the above referenced website, http://palmyragazette.org/.

reply

Huh? Apparently in the last three years the website to his book has been restored: http://palmyramystery.com/web1/Page_1x.html. It still has a bad color scheme though. If he's dead now, who's maintaining the site and book orders?

reply

"The U.S. prison-industrial complex encourages the passage of laws granting punitive punishment through mandatory minimum "

What the F??? We're talking about MURDER, here.

Move your soapbox, mister.

reply

They release aging prisoners with poor health so they do not have to take on the cost of treating them.

reply

Oh, *beep* that "it's the liberals" *beep*

"bleeding heart" that would be Jesus.

reply

THANKS FOR THIS POST. Very interesting. Went to your link but it had expired.

Any word on where he went once released? Maybe to a care home? (should we go pull the plug! ? )

According to Wikipedia Walker died April 26, 2010 of a stroke. H ehad been living in a trailor home in Willits, California, in Medocinco County.
