I asked my downtown-DC lawyer (who does white-collar stuff and not criminal stuff) if he would – or most lawyers would – want the Libby case. His answer was a resounding YES! Anyone would want it; it’s a career-maker.
He also told me, chuckling, that the judge assigned to the case is a great guy, a bulldog, a straight-arrow, and a very nice guy. Judge Reggie B. Walton was, at the age of 32, appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the D.C. Superior Court, the second youngest judge ever appointed to the DC bench. He comes from Donora, PA, from which Ken Griffey, Sr., Stan Musial and a bunch of other fine athletes hail.. In a word? If you’re the defendant, this guy will (if you’re convicted) sentence you often to the full limits of the guidelines. In addition, Reggie B. Walton is the U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia and one of President (George H.W.) Bush’s first judicial appointees.
