CHARLESTON, Mo., May 5 (UPI) -- A Missouri man spared prison for 13 years by mistake is obviously "rehabilitated" and imprisoning him would be a waste of money, a judge said Monday.
The state Department of Corrections only noticed last year that Cornealious "Mike" Anderson had never been ordered to report to prison to serve a 13-year stretch for armed robbery. Anderson, now 37, was sentenced in 2000 for holding up a Burger King manager at a bank's night drop.
