Not only is Camille an accomplished artist, and traveler she is also an activist and advocate for justice, having worked diligently for fairness and equity for her remarkable, cherished son who was killed in a wrong-way drunk driving car accident. Camille uncovered and exposed the corruption which exists in our justice system and the officials that worked in protecting a criminal, they submitted a time-delayed blood sample for the defendant and hid the first most reliable blood sample as was proven by their own documentation when the truth was uncovered. As a result of Camille's unwavering work for bringing out the truth, the criminal did finally get arrested, charged and sentenced. Camille made formal complaints to numerous agencies including but not limited to, the Crime Victim Rights Board, The Wisconsin Department of Justice, the Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation, the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Supreme Court of the United States where her case was and is docketed and reviewed. You can look on the Supreme Court Docket Search, case # 21-1026 Camille A. Walters v. Wisconsin Office of Lawyer Regulation, et al.
Camille is happily married and most proud of her sons, her art reflects her life and the events and people that have shaped her life.
