'You are good. And changed': Judge FREES man who was jailed 13-years late because of a clerical error - by which time he'd become a decent, upstanding family man

Cornealious Anderson was sentenced to 13 years in prison in 2000 after he robbed from a fast-food restaurant
He waited for a summons to report to prison but never received one
Anderson went on to get married, have children and start a construction business

3. This is so good.

Maybe more people should not serve jail time but should be given the opportunity to work and build a good life.

5. Good! A judge with some common sense .....

The man had gone on to be a decent, productive citizen and a caring family man. It was just STUPID to lock him up again.
