Man sent to jail after clerical error kept him free for 13 years....

I wasnt even being sarcastic about the lotto question.

In Massachusetts any winnings over $500, u have to go to the Mass Lotto HQ and claim it there. They take your picture and such and post it online. Serious business

so you went from the war on drugs to traffic violations and family court?

what?

you say the US is the worst, but you can't post any figures, but you just know... but you don't have figures to compare to other countries...but you just know because you just know?

what?

do you have a passport?

im was and still am in the us military so um yea I have owned and still do have a passport.

Its corrupt iuno why are u saying post figures like its not corrupt... That's like asking exact figures for drug dealers... That's like saying oh bmf didn't sell drugs... hell I want 1040ez to show it... Whats next aint crooked preachers, fly by night scam businesses...

All the things I mentioned are still ways they make money... You may say oh the 150 dollar ticket here... the 500 court processing fee there is nothing but guess what those things add up... And again lets not forget the workers in prison... Dudes doing 20+ dollars and hr work for literally a few bucks a day... ANd what do you think happens with this money... the govt what...?

Even if you just ok look at #'s we still have the highest rate somewhere around 800 ppl go to prison for every 100,000 which is higher then most countries not in Africa..(thought I doubt this is a coincidence seeing ...) most are in the 400,300 range. And the number of arrest aren't even in the same number to compare...Its not like we have the largest/populated country... Yet more arrest, more ppl cited, more ppl fined, more ppl jailed, more ppl prisoned.. Then when you look at the high amounts that are majority non violent drug crimes... and all the money generated and made from that...Like I said explain how crime over the last 20-30 yrs has went down 200% but the fining citations, arrest etc... has tripled...

So less crimes yet more ppl being stopped arrested jailed prisoned? I know we all wanna believe the govt going broke housing prisoners... but if crime is constantly on the decline...why are arrest, stops, fines, citations, more then ever... And why are more prisons being built?

You do realize most of our prisons etc.. are privatized.. aka a business. What business do you know continues to grow by generating LESS money.

ill post some more... But I believe jail cost us 32 billion last yr... but the generated 75 billion...last I checked that was a profit... SO where do you suppose that extra 40 billion went? To improve schools... improve lives of the citizens...

i feel like its kinda like entrapment though.  obviously he was stupid but it never would have happened if it weren't for the bank error

The bank wasn't out to set this guy up...so it can't be entrapment. It was a bank mistake and he decided to be dishonest about it.

what does a passport have to do with anything u said that as if ur family vacations and or few spring break trips to vacation areas of a country puts u in the know of how different governments work and how the are operated... You didn't/don't or pretend to be naïve about how THIS country works and you live here (assuming).. so how is a week trip in cancun or something, somehow give you knowledge and insight into how the govt... the judicial and law system of another country works.?

I could see if you said you was arrested and served time in another country... was a government employee of some sort... but to say hey I took a few trips here and there and imply that makes u somehow a honorary member of the U.N. ah something... or on the board of congress is ridiculous...

Why does NT ALWAYS play the hypothetical game? Why not just take the story for what it is?
Click to expand...

But what I'm saying is everybody wants to give the guy a pat on the back for turning his life around. It was armed robbery, not just a regular robbery. It seems if every criminal out there just turns their life around, no one should go to jail.

The hypothetical then is like someone brought up, what if this guy robbed you or your family member?
 
...and people ask why the system can't be trusted.

Meanwhile, George Zimmerman all hunky-dorey.

So I guess this guy would fare better in prison than the Dupont heir that raped his own kid? I know States are different and judges are different but common sense should prevail

I didnt say it was entrapment just had a similar effect. You put somebody in a position to do something stupid directly or indirectly dont be mad when they actually do something stupid. If the bank can be forgiven for their error Why cant the 18 year old kid?

Yea...you're right. He should be forgiven for accidentally spending 30k that wasn't his.

and what ramifications consequences should the bank who actually made the error face? they are the ones who made the mistake...so they should what just go unpunished?

Who said ANYTHING about the bank going unpunished? You think the teller who made the mistake wasn't dealt with by her boss? On top of it all...bank mistakes DO happen. As a matter of fact, same thing happened to me when I had a large sum appear in my account back when I was in college. Only difference between me and that dummy was that I notified the bank immediately and they corrected the error.

You guys are absolving this fool even tho he blatantly stole.

Yes, the bank purposefully put all that cash in his account, hoping he would spend it, then lie about it so he'd go to jail.

maybe not but ppl accidently do things all the time thing is when consumers ppl in general make mistakes/errors they are held liable for it...corps..biz etc... then its oh well we just made the mistake so what and whats the big deal....

the thing is as a consumers avg ppl most don't have a myriad of ppl and systems of checks and balance that lets says a bank...or a corp or a major biz does... yet they in most instances have no culpability when they makes errors...
 
 A Missouri man who was locked up after officials realized he never served a 13-year sentence is being released from prison by a judge who decided he turned his life around when he should have been doing time.

Cornealious "Mike" Anderson's family began crying when the court granted his request for release nine months after he began serving the sentence he was given in 2000.

Judge Terry Lynn Brown lauded Anderson's "exemplary" behavior during his 13 years of freedom before the arrest. "You've been a good father. You've been a good husband. You've 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."

Anderson walked out of the courtroom with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm and his mom on the other. Before being driven away to a freedom celebration at an undisclosed spot, Anderson told reporters he was "very happy. My faith has always been in God. I'm just so thankful. Thank God for everything."

Anderson was convicted of the 1999 armed robbery of a Burger King manager making a bank deposit but was out on bail while he appealed.

His appeals were shot down, but because of what the state has labeled a clerical error, he never went to prison.

Instead, he became a married father of four, a businessman and a youth football coach — an upstanding life interrupted when state officials realize the mistake and put him behind bars.

Anderson noted he had made no effort to conceal his identity while he was free. Tens of thousands of people signed a petition on Change.org urging his release.

Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said in a statement that the outcome was "appropriate."

"From the outset, I have proposed a solution that balances the seriousness of Mr. Anderson's crime with the mistake made by the criminal justice system and Mr. Anderson's lack of a criminal record over the past 13 years," he said.

"Today's outcome appears to appropriately balance the facts as we understand them.
