David Walker is a 49-year-old man from Delran, New Jersey. His brother, Philip Walker, 52, lives in Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania. Two brothers from two states, arrested the same week in September 2024, more than three and a half years after January 6, 2021. This is the record, stated plain, not softened. Federal prosecutors charged David Walker with robbery, assault with intent to commit a felony, destruction of property, and the standard restricted-building and disorderly-conduct counts tied to an altercation with a news photographer at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. These are serious allegations. CHARGE ONLY: David Walker was never tried on this record. He never entered a plea on this record. He is presumed innocent unless and until a court says otherwise, and no court ever ruled on the merits of this case. On January 20, 2025, President Trump signed a proclamation of clemency covering the January 6 defendants who were still facing charges. On January 22, 2025, the court granted the government's motion to dismiss David Walker's case with prejudice. That is the end of it. The government cannot refile. There was no trial, no conviction, no sentence. Same standard Ryan Nichols asks for every time: read the docket before you read the headline. Ryan Nichols knows what a pending federal case does to a family, win or lose. Charged. Jailed. Sentenced. Pardoned January 20, 2025. He does not ask anyone to agree with what is alleged here. He asks that the record be read whole, not in a headline. This is not an endorsement of the underlying conduct alleged in the complaint. It is a statement of what the record shows: a charge, no trial, and a dismissal with prejudice. CASE RECORD Name: David Walker Location: Delran, New Jersey Age: 49 Family: Brother Philip Walker, Upper Chichester, Pennsylvania, charged the same week Arrest date: September 12, 2024 Charges: Robbery; assault with intent to commit a felony; destruction of property; entering and remaining in a restricted building; disorderly conduct Case status: No plea entered on record. Case dismissed with prejudice January 22, 2025 following the January 20, 2025 presidential clemency proclamation. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
