“Impeachment couldn’t be carried out
unless he does something while in of-
fice,” Vaughan said. “Also he admitted to
the misdemeanor charge not any of the
felony charges.”
Despite the publicity Walter’s indict-
ment has incurred, Journalism Profes-
sor Susan Dawson-O’Brien said she
doesn’t think there was enough informa-
tion made public for people to reach edu-
cated decisions about the indictment.
“There’s a lot we as the general public
don’t know,” Dawson-O’Brien said. “We
don’t have all the information, so it’s
hard to say anything. There was cer-
tainly a lot of bargaining behind the
scenes that we were not told about.”
From the information provided others
have drawn their own conclusions. Lieu-
