Judge Wilson rules again against arguments raised on behalf of Percy Walton

In Walton v. Johnson, Judge Wilson of the W.D. Va. denied the motion to alter his earlier judgment in the Percy Walton case, a Virginia inmate who sought federal court relief from his scheduled execution.

Last year, Judge Wilson rejected Walton's claim of mental retardation. In March of this year, Judge Wilson rejected Walton's claim that he was incompetent.
