The mother of a Murray State University student who died in a 1998 Hester Hall dorm fire says she hopes justice for her son and others injured will be served by the re-indictment of Jerry Walker Jr. on charges connected to the incident. Michael Minger, 19, died as a result of the fire 13 years ago.
