Arrest, Conviction and Release
In 2007, Walker along with two other men were found guilty by a federal court on charges of conspiracy to interfere with civil rights in the beating of a Mexican-American man in 2002 and an American Indian man in 2003 outside Salt Lake City. Walker was initially sentenced to 87 months in prison, but it was shortened to 37 months by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that "ruled there was insufficient evidence to prove the victim of one of the attacks endured serious bodily injury as claimed by prosecutors."
Walker was released from prison on November 27, 2009.

“What does headquarters think these guys came over here for, a sewing circle? They go up playing for keeps. Cops and robbers with rocks in the snowballs. Brass knuckles and lead pipes and a roughneck conviction they can lick any man in the world.”
—Dalton Trumbo (1905–1976)
“Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
born to set thy people free;
from our fears and sins release us,
let us find our rest in thee.”
—Charles Wesley (1707–1788)
