Role in Case(s)
Walter was found guilty after evidence incriminated him as the killer.

Amy Young couldn't find Walter in the hotel bar when the player went there to arrest him in which all Amy and the player found was a riddle suggesting the killer was about to resist arrest, infuriating Amy. Amy and the player rushed to the Pacific Bay Airport, in which they finally caught up with the bartender. Walter attempted to resist arrest to get over his grief in which Amy countered Walter's resistance attempt by presenting evidence against him. Walter assumed that the player arrested the wrong person but Amy continued to lambaste the bartender for Lindsay's death, grounds for Walter to admit to the crime.

All Lindsay wanted to talk about were her problems with Velma Bannister and Dick Shakespeare and Walter got tired of hearing her problems day by day and felt it was no fair that others can't hear his side of his story for at least once. Walter devised a plan to start a new life away from Ivywood, so he opted to help Lindsay fly out of Ivywood's reach, so the socialite gave the bartender money and expensive earrings to look after. Walter knew that the face value of what Lindsay gave him would be more than enough to start a new life, so he told the socialite to meet him at the movie set of Murder by Moonlight at her earliest convenience, but that was just half the battle.

Since Walter had to put up with Lindsay's problems day after day, he was lucky enough to know the individuals who hated her the most, so before he stabbed Lindsay in her heart with the murder weapon in the set of Murder by Moonlight, he had to frame the people who hated Lindsay the most. The movie set would be the perfect scene to implicate Dick, moreso Walter implicated Hubert Bannister by placing a death warrant with the Utopian symbol (with Hubert's signature) at the boardwalk, and made a simulated fortune teller with Lindsay's likeliness to force the player to suspect Rico Damascus of murder. Walter attempted to throw off the player by making a phone call as an anonymous caller but in spite of the tricks Walter played on the Pacific Bay Police Department, the player shipped the bartender to court to face trial.

Walter told Judge Dante that he doesn't like to put up with other people's problems after what he had to put up with serving Lindsay day after day, so Judge Dante simply gave Walter a 10-year jail sentence for not just Lindsay's murder, but for deceiving the Pacific Bay Police Department, for not talking to the court about why he killed Lindsay, and for implicating three people of a crime they did not commit.
