*It’s like a scene in a movie. One of the teens implicated in the killing of Pop Smoke; 20-year-old Corey Walker‘s cell mate was planted by police.
That’s a clever way to get to the truth. Imagine Walker, young, caged and maybe freaked-out so he tells all the business. And is he guilty? Even though he told his planted cellie that after they bought the gear (gloves, masks, and a police scanner) all he did was help pass out the guns and then he stayed in the car.
The prosecution said Walker was the driver. Was he also the look-out guy?
Whatever the case, right now court proceedings on the upcoming murder trial are delayed till next month – due to technical issues with paperwork. So, Walker’s attorney Christopher Darden is holding off on discussing a plea bargain or a resolution until after the death penalty clause is removed.
“Your honor, our office is not going to be seeking death on this case, but we are going to be asking for a lot,” Deputy DA Hilary Williams said during Walker’s arraignment hearing.
