On December 16, 2014, deadhead, father and artist
Roderick "Rudd" Walker died in prison at the age of 42 for cardiac arrest. In 2005, even though he was never found to possess
LSD and just on the testimony of undercover federal agents and defendants trying to reduce their own prison terms, he was sentenced to life imprisonment without any possibility of parole (because of two prior convictions on his record.)
Rudd's shocking harsh sentence and lack of proper medical assistance in prison, eventually killed him.
