Armed Robber never told to report to Prison for 13yrs

Yes, but then they have committed new crimes.

If there is a statute of limitations, basically a time period after which you cannot be sentenced for a crime, why shouldn't there also be a time period after which the sentence for that particular crime (if you have committed no other crimes in the meantime) can no longer be enforced?

 

The man has shown he is capable of being a productive, crimefree member of society.

I think they should just give him probation. Silly to put him in jail after 10 years when it wasn't his fault they didn't put him in jail. They should commute his sentence from 13 years to 3 years, and give him 3 years probation.

He's one lucky man.

 

this is merica'! he should file a lawsuit against the state for forgetting to incarcerate him and call it emotional stress.

 

I'd favor a pardon to spare the burden of figuring it all out in court. There should be some kind of statute of limitations on this thing. Just as you shouldn't have to live the rest of your life worrying that they might convict you of a decades-old robbery, you also shouldn't have to worry about a decades-old conviction that the state failed to collect on.

Judge Rules 13-Year Sentence Man Never Served is Complete

 

Great news.

 

Yep, great news.

 

Good news. I think he did deserve some type of punishment for the crime he committed, and 9 months is plenty of time. Happy for him.

 

I don't doubt this is coming.

 

Why do believe this man is going to do this?

 

well, the "feel good story of the year" just got shot to hell. Homey allegedly couldn't resist snatching some lady's purse, and was arrested again.

ST. LOUIS • A Webster Groves man who was released from prison in May after a clerical error regarding his armed robbery sentence made national news was arrested again — this time for a purse snatching.

Cornealious “Mike” Anderson, 37, was arrested for second-degree robbery about 1 a.m. Sunday on Fourth Street, St. Louis police said.

Authorities say he grabbed a woman’s purse in the 800 block of South Broadway, dragging the victim a short distance while trying to yank the bag from her shoulder.

An officer patrolling the area of Fourth and Gratiot streets heard a description of the assailant broadcast. He apprehended Anderson — who allegedly matched the description of the robber — walking north on Fourth Street. He drove Anderson to the scene of the incident where the woman and an eyewitness identified him as the man who took her purse, police said.

 

Why is a guy with 3 business stealing a purse?
Sounds like a set up if the only proof they have is victim ID.

 

Imagine what he had been doing during those 13 years... scary.

 

Prison turned him back into a criminal.

 

Luls. This story is full of wins.

 

lol seriously. Sounds like the description was a black male.

 

So he wasn't caught in the act, and he didn't have the purse or anything from the purse like the lady's credit cards. And the victim and the eyewitness who agreed it was him didn't pick him out of lineup or anything -- he was presented to them by a policeman. I'm going to guess the prosecution goes nowhere (provided he's able to hire a lawyer).

 

That would suck for texy since he seems so happy that the guy was arrested.

 

The worst part of this story is the fact that every supervisor in the Missouri Department fo Corrections missed a very simple error that allowed a person convicted of a crime to remain free. It makes you wonder how many other people have been left free and go on to commit more crimes (even though this guy didn't do that).

They should be thankful he didn't take advantage of their piss poor clerical skills to harm more citizens. He did them a big favor in that regard.

Missouri Department of Corrections sucks......I would fire everybody in a leadership position in that organization. They had one job.....and they failed on an epic level to do it.

 

While calling him a "homey." It's homie for future reference, texx.
