Jury Says Michael Walker "Not Guilty" in Fatal Shooting of Rudy Cardenas
Vigil Held Expresses Community's Outrage at Verdict in Cardenas Killing
State Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement Agent
Michael Walker was found not guilty of manslaughter
in San Jose on December 13th after a six week trial. He
was charged with shooting Rudy Cardenas, a 43
year-old father of five, as Cardenas tried to run
away after a car chase through downtown San Jose.
Walker thought at the time that he was chasing
another man. The verdict was met with
disappointment and outrage. 60 gathered on the
evening of the 13th at the spot Cardenas was killed
in downtown San Jose. Rudy's daughter Regina
Cardenas, speaking for the family and their
supporters, said she is "...completely appalled. We
didn’t think [acquittal] was a possibility at all."
Indybay reporter Peter Maiden covered the trial and wrote an in-depth report called Justice Denied: A History of the Walker Trial.
