Saying he had obviously been rehabilitated, a Missouri judge ordered the release of Cornealious “Mike” Anderson, whose sentence for armed robbery was delayed for 13 years by a clerical error. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch says Circuit Judge T. Lynn Brown noted that Anderson got married, raised a family, ran a business and paid taxes since his conviction in 2000. Judge Brown credited Anderson’s behavior while he was at large for his decision to free him.
