Woman Found Guilty Of Battery After Altercation At Disney Ride

Posted: 6:02 pm EDT April 11, 2008Updated: 9:26 pm EDT April 11, 2008

An Alabama grandmother was found guilty of battery Friday after being accused of attacking another woman on a ride at Disney World. The jury returned a not-guilty verdict for a second charge.

Victoria Walker said she didn't start the fight that day at the Magic Kingdom's Mad Tea Party ride. She insists the alleged victim, Aimee Krause, was the real troublemaker. Walker, 51, says she was helping some children from her Alabama church board Disney's Mad Tea Party ride.

"I was getting in a tea cup and I felt a kick on my right leg and it was Miss Krause. I grabbed her hair like that and I kicked her back," Walker testified Thursday.

On May 27 of last year, the two women got into an argument while waiting in line at the ride. Prosecutors say Walker got angry when Krause's kids cut to the front. Moments later, Walker says Krause gave her an elbow.

Friday's guilty verdict means Walker could face up to one year in the county jail.
