Commas needed?

The sentence is...

"That statement typically precedes the idiot making it walking away hoping that the other person has no proof."

Does this sentence need commas? If so, where would they be?

It's the kind of clumsy sentence that is common in casual English speech. I'd pause, ie put a comma, after 'away', in order to give the listener a brief moment to comprehend what has just been said. Clive
