| Stevie Wonder and sons |
A judge has ordered that a man Alpha Lorenzo Walker and his Girlfriend, Tamara Diaz were sentenced to serve 292 days in jail
and three years of probation for attempting to sell a video that purportedly
portrayed Wonder in a negative light...but jail credits makes the pair eligible for
release Monday. Both accused have been ordered to stay away from Stevie Wonder and his family while on probation.
Portions of it were filmed in the former home of the singer’s late
mother, which is now dilapidated, and it also shows Wonder’s son, whom the
musician is protective of.
They were both arrested in May after Stevie Wonder's attorney arranged a
sting and claimed Walker had sought up to $5 million for the video.
Walker’s attorney, Ian Wallach, said the deal was reached after prosecutors
encountered trouble proving the extortion case and that the charges were
eligible to be reduced to misdemeanors and expunged later if the pair comply
with the terms of their release.
Wallach had maintained his client was innocent and that he had a
constitutional right to make and market the video.
