Hudson County Prosecutor's Office detective free of murder charge


A New Jersey detective was acquitted in a racially-charged case in Annapolis, Maryland.  The detective was accused of fatally shooting a man after a road-rage incident.  Joseph Walker was acquitted on Wednesday after 6 hours of deliberation.  Claims of prosecutorial misconduct, and the withholding of “Brady Evidence” permeated the case (but is no longer an issue due to the “not guilty” verdict).  Mr. Walker was represented by Charles Curlett.  Coverage of the trial can be read here:  http://www.nj.com/jjournal-news/index.ssf/2014/07/hudson_county_prosecutors_offi_1.html
