I believe he's going be a good productive citizen when released since he already has proven that he can succeed without committing crimes but at the same time we all know when you owe for a bill the debt is still there until it's paid not saying that it's right but that's just how life works
11 years and straight as an arrow. They should had given him 1000 hours of community service or something. He seems like he made a mistake but then went straight.
Fraaa Wit doing wrong and breaking the law are 2 complete polar opposites. Not one citizen in this country lives without breaking a law but we don’t say everyone in the country is doing bad. Laws are circumstantial, don’t judge based on someones record.
Ian Battles The state made a good mistake. Letting a man be rehabilitated on his own and not wasting tax payer resources feeding him, sheltering him, protecting him in Prison.
He should be free as long as he didnt commit and get caught for a single crime since that time ... which it doesnt seem like he has done anything wrong since then
Apparently he got set free that thing you but later on in the year. I definitely feel like he changed his life more than prison could have ever done and that's coming from someone that has been to prison as a teenager. All it does it teach you to be a better Criminal. I'm happy he is doing so much better than he was back then
I would say things happen for a reason and just like we don't feel he deserved prison after making a mistake which led to a positive change in his and other peoples lives, I don't think someone should've lost their job since the outcome of their mistake was a good thing. Had it been a tragic mistake, then they should have lost their job.
If that person you want fired had done their job, then he wouldn’t be the man he is now. He would’ve come out of prison a hardened man and likely been a career criminal. Whomever made the “clerical error” saved his life.
Except he wasn't physically lost. He wasn't even in the system. Just his name. The literal definition is much worse than what he went thru. Yours is just a play on words, he barely did any time at all. I think most people wouldn't mind his situation lol. Especially since he's been released
@The Truth This guy got the lucky break that thousands of other people can only dream about. And he was smart enough to not let that opportunity go to waste.
Hazardous89 I wish he got 80 years, I feel so bad seeing him in prison if he had gotten 80 years they wouldn’t have attempted to re-arrest him till he was dead from old age
@@tygaman89er had they sentenced him to 80 years before they made the error they wouldn't have learned of the error until his 80-year sentence was finished. He would've been free the whole time.
I went to court once and when they did the paperwork after I missed arraignment, it got lost. A year later, I called to ask about the status of my warrant because I missed court and they had no warrant. It never made it to the office to be filed. So they basically set me another court date and told me to just stay out of trouble until then.
Everything the government runs sucks...I can't believe idiots want to give the government more power and even entire industries like health, and education
@anakin skyfucker You are aware that just because someone commits a crime doesn't means that there automatically an awful person right? Also Thief doesn't automatically equal rapist either I'm aware that the education system has failed you but try to think a little harder (Sorry if I misread or misspelled anything)
Is the purpose of prison to destroy a life for a crime committed? If that is the case then he needs to go to jail. If prison is to rehabilitate our prisoners to become contributing members of society then shouldn't we honor this man for doing his part to heal the world as opposed to destroying it?
He shouldn't have to pay for the courthouse mistake. It's not his fault that someone wasn't doing their job. I would sue if I was him he needs to be paid.
Father Thomas Lol somebody losing 10 years of their life over a petty crime is more than enough comp. If you don’t think so you just like the rest of these white folks.
"As such your sentence will be fully served and satisfied today.... Go home to your family, Mr. Anderson, and continue to be a good father, a good husband, a good taxpayer to the state of Missouri. Good luck to you" That was the judge that ordered his release. He is out living a good life.
The government needs to get over the idea of punishing people who make mistakes and focus on rehabilitation. Too many people in prison for petty crimes. Place them under community service arrest for whatever time they need to turn their lives around.
what the fuck is the point of locking him up? I could understand if he was still out there in the world doing crimes; and having illegitimate job. This just goes to show that they don't care about people.
The man came to his senses, leave him alone. You referred to him like an animal with numbers. Having him serve time now will only turn him back into one.
On November 16, 2014, Anderson was stopped by St. Louis police officers as he was walking from a bar to get his vehicle. A few minutes earlier, a woman had her purse snatched and Anderson somewhat matched the description of the robber. When Anderson was taken to the scene by police officers, both the victim and a witness identified him as the robber. He was subsequently identified by them in a police lineup and charged with second degree robbery.[35] When Anderson was picked up by police, he had none of the woman's property on him and he told police that he had just come from a birthday party with his wife and 40 other people at a bar.[35]Anderson's wife began investigating the incident and located surveillance video that showed that Anderson was at the party at the estimated time of the robbery.[36] The Riverfront Times also investigated Anderson's alibi on November 18, 2014 by obtaining security footage from the bar showing that Anderson was at the bar at about the time he claimed.[37] On February 6, 2015 after reviewing surveillance video, Circuit Attorney Jennifer M. Joyce dropped all charges against Anderson.[38] She issued an apology and stated that she had discussed the case with St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson and how police procedures could be improved to avoid such mistakes.
Now I believe for the first time in second chance. One man on his own did a job better than all the rehabilitation workers and psychologists put together would have done. He deserves a medal.
Even though he did commit a crime, he did prove himself by starting a family and shaping up. It seems like he’s a genuine guy and I honestly feel bad for him.
Lol, the state was still paid to incarcerate this man, so state taxpayer paying twice. Ridiculous bureaucratic error, the prison clerk and courts personnel should reimburse the state.
