The arraignment for Bill Walker’s perjury case was held on 2009-10-08 at 09:00 at Belknap Superior Court. After the usual interminable wait in a court lobby, Bill met with a public defender, filed a not guilty plea (waiving arraignment in front of an actual judge), and was released on $5,000 personal-recognizance bail.

Being a Superior Court case, there are several upcoming court dates scheduled: A dispositional conference is scheduled on 2009-12-04 at 08:30, a final pre-trial conference on 2010-01-20 at 13:30, and jury selection for 2010-02-01 at 09:00. No actual trial date is scheduled yet. All of these court dates are in Belknap Superior Court.

On 2009-09-24, Bill Walker received a notice in the mail from the State of New Hampshire informing him that he had been indicted for perjury (RSA 641:1) for allegedly making a materially false statement on the appearance form to appear as legal counsel in her previous trial.

According to the State, Bill allegedly failed to disclose that he had been convicted of a misdemeanor-level disorderly conduct charge (RSA 644:2) stemming from a traffic stop on 2008-1010 in Manchester. This case had ended with a plea agreement, negotiated by Attorney Evan Nappen, where Bill had in actuality agreed to a violation-level disorderly conduct charge in return for the State dropping two firearms-related charges.

The arraignment is scheduled for 2009-10-08 at 09:00 at Belknap Superior Court.
