Alright, remember Amber Candelaria, the ambitious and creative Boyd Law graduate who last year, unsuccessfully sought to meet the judicial candidacy requirements of NRS 4.010(2)(a) for justice of the peace by relying on her invoice from the State Bar requiring her to pay the dues of a fifth year attorney?
Well, this story isn’t about Amber, its about her (purported ex) husband, Clarke D. Walton, who owns the Walton Law Firm, “a boutique Internet law firm that serves website owners worldwide.”
According to Clark County Detention Center records, a “Clarke D. Walton” was recently arrested on felony grand larceny and burglary charges. Can anyone confirm whether this is the same Mr. Walton who owns the Walton Law Firm? Does anyone have any more details on this story?
And, regardless of whether or not its the same Mr. Walton, can anyone explain what’s going on with Mr. Walton’s profile on the State Bar of Nevada Website (which was changed after the initial post)? Apparently, November 11, 2011 is a very special date for him… Maybe he’s going to be killing vampires that day?
Bonus: Here’s a link to what appears to be a manifesto authored by the vampire killer himself (this webpage was deleted after the initial post). To view it, hold the control button and scroll-out with your mouse..
Thanks for the story, tipster!
Either the actual Clarke D. Walton is just having a good time at the expense of online data accuracy, his profile was hacked or he has gone around the bend so to speak.
Funny thing is, if memory serves (and at my age it could be faulty), he had a bit of trouble first year with some of the female students being upset about his choice of the home page on his laptop in class. Nothing horrible, Maxim Online (I think) as it was reported at the time on the student listserve, which was widely talked about in the legal community mostly because he was a highly talented student and almost got booted because a sensitive soul was offended at the clothed but "well put together" female form. Of course there could have been two students at Boyd named Clarke Walton, or the rumors in the legal community circa 2002-2003could have just been messed up. Perhaps one of his classmates could confirm.
This is 100% accurate, except it wasn't the fact that the students were offended that almost found Clarke booted, but the fact that he mouthed off to the Professor when confronted about his in class internet usage. He then went on to contact everyone who would listen (LVRJ, ACLU, NV Bar, etc) to vent about how his constitutional rights were violated. He pissed off practically everyone in his path over something so ridiculous that it could have been ended as soon as it began. He's a true douchebag and I've found him to be a horrible practitioner, so his supposed high intelligence certainly didn't take him far.
Nancy Quon
@ 8:54 What is your point? That Nancy Quon is a vampire? If that is the case, the whole attempt at suicide is even more of a farce. Everyone knows that other than a wooden stake through the heart, vampires live forever.
Yes, it is Clarke. He started the summer with an arrest in Clark County for fireworks and an unlicensed trailer. Then, he was arrested in Van Nuys, CA for some sort of unpleasant incident with the police, and sent out for medical evaluation.
His mind seems to have snapped sometime last year. Initially, he started going on about some undefined urgent opportunity to make boatloads of money, and was purely manic. Then, he had a month or so of relatively clarity after spending a week or so under supervision, during which he abandoned some client work. After that, he had a sudden break from reality into pure delusion. He believed he had made contact with an alien space god of some kind, who had engaged him as some sort of intergalactic vampire killer. In addition to the weird rant at the vampirekillr site, he defaced his law practice webpage by interspersing similar typographically odd rants.
The last year has been quite a ride for Clarke who, until that point, had been quite a bright, capable and creative guy.
