Air Force Man Gets Life in Riverside Murder Case
Lawrence Walker, a 20 year old air force sergeant, was found guilty of first degree murder and other charges in Riverside California after a 21 hour deliberation. The jury recommended life imprisonment rather than the death penalty and he faces sentencing August 35. The case linked to the shooting of Doris and Richard Cook on a desert road and included counts of kidnapping and attempted rape. Walker admitted not stopping after a car collision but denied killing the Cooks. The trial included defense by the NAACP and ended with a courtroom reaction and anticipated appeals.
