Charles Walker, who spent 11 years on death row and came within hours of execution, deserves a new trial because police did not turn over files that could possibly identify another person as the killer, a judge has ruled.
Superior Court Judge John O. Craig III notified lawyers in an e-mail over the weekend of his decision in the case of Charles Walker, who was condemned for the 1992 slaying of a man prosecutors said was trying to interfere with Walker's illegal drug business.
Walker, 40, was accused of shooting Tito Davidson.
