Michael Minger died as a result of the fire that ripped through the fourth floor of Hester Hall in September of 1998.

His mother, Gail Minger was, and she says, has remained heartbroken.

"I know how I feel today. I would want no one to be in my position," she said Thursday during a phone interview from her Florida home.

"This is not some angry, 'I'm a poor loser' because there was an acquittal (so) I run out and bring these charges. These charges were already in place," Commonwealth's Attorney Mark Blankenship told Local 6.

He says the Grand Jury had indicted Walker on these charges back on July 2nd. They were filed later, he admitted, because he had focused on the bigger charges including arson, manslaughter, and wanton endangerment.   With the indictments coming down so close to the trial, both sides agreed to seal the indictments so as not to affect the case.

But since Walker's acquittal, his attorney, Dennis Null says they have no place back in the courts. 

"I think the case is ultimately closed," he admitted.

He says it does not make sense to use the letters to once again try and convict his client.  The letters, he says, were already mentioned in the trial that ultimately led to Walker's acquittal.

"He was shocked, disappointed," he said when asked of Walker's reaction to the charges.

Gail Minger says she too has mixed feelings about returning to court and once again coming face to face with Walker, "I have absolutely no intent in uttering one word to Mr. Walker."

Walker will be arraigned in Calloway Circuit Court at 8:30 Monday morning.  He is an assistant principal at Paducah Middle School.  The superintendent tells Local 6, Walker's future depends on Monday's outcome.

If the case does proceed, each of charges carries a maximum sentence of 5 years behind bars.
