As it turns out, after all of the catcalls for his head on a plate, and extradition, the Zimbabwean government has now declared that Walter Palmer did nothing wrong.
After the investigation by the police and the National Prosecuting Authority it was found that he was innocent of wrongdoing and no charges would be brought.
In the beginning, it was thought that he had entered the country with a tourist visa, which does not include hunting; but it has been found that he entered with all of the correct paperwork for hunting. If he had entered on a tourist visa he would be charged with poaching.
There is a video discussion at the source.
