| Walter Anderson was our special guest for this one hour interview today. Walt was with us from the Washington, DC jail where he has pleaded guilty to tax charges brought against him by the U.S. Government. He is awaiting transfer to a federal prison where he will serve out the remainder of his term. Walt called The Space Show in three 15 minute segment calls. You will hear background noise from the jail as he is using a public phone. Also, his calls are timed to 15 minutes and you will hear the notice of the remaining time left for each call, then the call is simply cut off. Here in Walt's own words the history of his investigation, events leading up to the arrest, why be believes he was arrested and "targeted," here what he has to say about his guilt/innocence and political statements. He discusses his treatment in jail, the details of his plea agreement and much more. This discussion last just shy of one hour. It is mostly Walt talking about his situation though I did ask specific questions and I did guide the conversation to a point. It is not possible to email or contact Walt with your comments or questions but you can read about his case and review all the court documents and more at the site, Justice For Walt (www.justiceforwalt.com. Depending on Walt's new location and its rules for phone calls and interviews, Walt may be with again for more on his situation. While these calls are recorded, they are not live but if you do have a comment or question for Walt,. please email it to me at drspace@thespaceshow.com and if additional interviews with him can be held, I will be sure to ask him your question or give him your comment. The bio being used for Walt with this interview is the file bio from the last time Walt was a guest on The Space Show, about 14 months before his arrest, thus the bio is not current. |
