Overview

• Kara Walker, 17, was arrested on Aug. 27 in Harris County on a charge of injury to a child and remains in custody on a $100,000 bond.
• In a jail interview with KPRC, Walker says she was falsely charged and disputes notes and texts found on her phone that prosecutors cite.
• Her boyfriend, Noah Stallings, was previously charged with the same offense, released on a $1 million bond, and is due in court on Sept. 18.
• Court filings and an autopsy state Charles Walker, 8, died in February from blunt force trauma after alleged multi-day abuse, and hospital staff told investigators the injuries were not consistent with a fall.
• The boy’s parents defend Kara, citing her small stature and saying doctors likened the injuries to those from a 70–80 mph car crash.
