Man who robbed Walker gets life

In June 2008, former Raiders receiver Javon Walker got mixed up with a couple of bad dudes, who beat him up and robbed him.

The Associated Press reports that one of the men will be heading to prison for the rest of his life, with no shot at parole.

The severity of the sentence arises from the fact that Deshawn Lamont Thomas, 42, is a habitual felon, with 11 convictions and trial still awaiting in another case on charges of pandering, kidnapping, child abuse, and statutory sexual seduction. As to Walker, Thomas was convicted of first-degree kidnapping, robbery, battery, battery with intent to commit a crime, conspiracy to commit robbery, and conspiracy to commit kidnapping

Thomas and 32-year-old Arfat Fadel robbed Walker, who was extremely intoxicated on the evening in question, of jewlery, cash, and casino chips with a total value in the tens of thousands of dollars.

Fadel pleaded guilty to reduced charges and testified against Thomas. Fadel will be sentenced next week.

Walker currently is unsigned. In two season with the Raiders, he caught 15 passes for 196 yards and one touchdown.

Sounds like this dude deserves the needle
