Update to a story from our Legal Links about a month ago regarding Missouris Cornealious Mike Anderson, who was sentenced to prison for a robbery in 2001, but was never ordered to report due to a clerical error. Thirteen years later, when the error was discovered, he was jailed immediately -- despite leading an exemplary life, becoming the father of 5 and starting his own business following the mixup. Now this from The AP: Anderson, with the blessing of the Missouri Attorney General, is a free man. Judge Terry Lynn Brown lauded Andersons exemplary behavior during his 13 years of freedom before the arrest. Youve been a good father. Youve been a good husband. Youve been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri. That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man. As the judge announced his decision, about 10 of Andersons relatives broke out in sobs and cried. Anderson stared straight ahead but dabbed tears from his eyes. Afterward, he hugged his toddler daughter tight. The hearing lasted about 10 minutes. Full story: n.pr/1kFQCtT
