Bangor Daily News<\/a><\/em>, Walker pleaded guilty to manslaughter and perjury charges in 2003 and was given a 10-year sentence.<\/p>\nThe newspaper reports that in 2002, Walker \u2014 who was still using her maiden name, Humphrey \u2014 became involved in an altercation at Old Orchard Beach.<\/p>\n
The Canadian tourist, Derek Rogers, allegedly called Walker by a derogatory name for Native Americans, and was later found dead, suffocated by sand.<\/p>\n
Walker is not affiliated with any political party, but her campaign was sponsored by the progressive Maine nonprofit organization Food and Medicine.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s my past. I don\u2019t live there anymore and I\u2019m a different person,\u201d she said when asked about the conviction.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s important to note that Walker has been open about her difficult past, explaining that she dealt with addiction and homelessness at her lowest point.<\/p>\n
\nThese days, she says she hopes to use her influence to help others who have fallen into similar troubles.<\/p>\n
Still, it\u2019s not hard to see why not everyone considers Walker\u2019s story a source of inspiration.<\/p>\n
In fact, many are now calling on authorities to overturn Walker\u2019s election before she\u2019s sworn into office.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2002, Angela Walker and her brother savagely killed a White tourist from Canada, Derek Rogers, beating him nearly to death, then forcing sand down his throat and nose until he suffocated to death,\u201d wrote one X user<\/a>, adding:<\/p>\n\u201cRogers suffered a broken skull, broken ribs, and massive internal bleeding before being suffocated with the sand of Old Orchard Beach \u2026 The details of what this woman did are truly beyond words.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear if any public officials intend to take action to prevent Walker from taking office, but the controversy over her election is almost certain to continue.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
