Delayed Punishment: Man Who Was Allowed To Remain Free After Clerical Error Is Thrown Back In Jail For 13 Years

This is fawked up. Clerical Error Makes State Forget To Send Man To Prison For 13 Years SMH. According to CBS News: Most fugitives go to great lengths to avoid the police, but one convicted criminal didn’t have to try. He was allowed to stay free for more than a decade. But the long arm of the law finally did reach out. CBS News’ Dean Reynolds met “Prisoner 1039699″ at the Southeast Correctional Center in Charleston, Mo., Thursday. Mike Anderson is nine months into a 13-year sentence for an armed robbery that took place in 1999. He should have gone to prison in 2002 after his conviction and unsuccessful appeals, but Missouri made a mistake. It forgot about him. Anderson said he’s been told it’s all a clerical error. Instead of ordering Anderson to prison, the state mistakenly thought he was already there. Anderson said he waited and waited. Reynolds asked Anderson, “What did you think would happen as the days and weeks and months and years went by?” Anderson said, “I had this sense in me that everything was OK, no matter what was gonna happen, that everything was gonna be OK, and, to this day, I still have that.” It’s a shame he changed his life around and is now serving jail time for something he did 13 years ago.

Florida Crazies: Atheist Man Attacks Roommate With A Knife Because He Looked Like Jesus

Jesus take the cutlery and run ! Atheist Attacks Roommate With A Knife Because He Looked Like Jesus Gustav Potthoff has a cross to bear: He’s a self-proclaimed atheist accused of attacking his roommate whom he thought was Jesus. Via HuffPo reports: As such, he believes that only an atheist attorney can defend him properly.Police in Orlando, Fla. allege that Potthoff attacked his roommate, Raymond Hernandez, with a glass cup and a butter knife on Monday. According to the police report, Hernandez said he went to the kitchen to get a drink when Potthoff suddenly threw the glass cup at him. When the cup missed Hernandez, Potthoff allegedly attacked him with a butter knife. Hernandez avoided injury both times. He told investigators that Potthoff told him he thought Hernandez was Jesus and wanted to kill him, according to the police report. Potthoff, 51, was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The suspect did not mention Jesus when he told police his side of the story, but changed his story numerous times, according to the police report. First, he said he was in the kitchen when the glass broke. Then he said he was in his bedroom and finally outside. Officers found a broken glass cup and a butter knife on the living room floor, which were collected as evidence. Potthoff was taken to the Orange County Jail where he remains.But his belief in non-belief came to the forefront during an encounter with a judge on Tuesday.Potthoff demanded that he be assigned a public defender who is also an atheist. “It’s just my human rights and everything else,” Potthoff told the court, according to the Orlando Sentinel. “I’m allowed to be with someone of my own kind.” The judge told Potthoff, who is reportedly indigent, that if he wanted an atheist attorney, it would be on his own dime. So, he’s an ATHEIST who obviously believes in Jesus?? Why not just put down the truth, that he’s a paranoid schizophrenic with religious idealizations? Too easy.

Vance McAllister, Louisiana Congressman, Admits Kissing Staffer in Surveillance Video

U.S. Congressman Vance McAllister (R-LA) has admitted that video surveillance footage, allegedly showing him kissing a staffer who is not his wife, is him. Vance McAllister Surveillance Video First reported by the Ouachita Citizen, a West Monroe, La., newspaper in his district, the grainy video came from an anonymous source last December. It shows a man turning off the lights in a hallway before briefly exiting the frame. When he comes back in frame, he is joined by a woman and they kiss passionately. None of the footage, which the newspaper says was shot in Vance McAllister’s Monroe district office, clearly shows the faces of the two individuals. The woman is identified as his district scheduler, Melissa Anne Hixon Peacock, 33. On Monday, McAllister issued a statement admitting he is the man on video: “There’s no doubt I’ve fallen short and I’m asking for forgiveness. I’m asking for forgiveness from God, my wife, my kids, my staff and my constituents who elected me to serve.” Busted! “Trust is something I know has to be earned whether you’re a husband, a father or a Congressman. I promise to do everything I can to earn back the trust of everyone I’ve disappointed.” McAllister won a November 16 special election to replace Rodney Alexander, who was named the secretary of the Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs in August. McAllister campaigned as a devout Christian, using his faith and his 16-year marriage to appeal to conservative voters in the Northern Louisiana district. In January, he invited Willie Robertson , a member of the controversial reality-television show Duck Dynasty , to be his guest at the State of the Union address.

Peaches Geldof Death: Father, Husband "Beyond Pain"

Peaches Geldof, the daughter of world-famous musician Bob Geldof, died Monday in Kent, England. She was only 25, and her father is at an utter loss. “We are beyond pain,” Bob Geldof said in a statement Monday. “She was the wildest, funniest, cleverest, wittiest and the most bonkers of all of us.” It remains unclear how Peaches Geldof died , but it came as a shock. Medical personnel were first called to an address in a small town in Kent over “a report of concern for the welfare of a woman” on Monday afternoon. “A woman aged 25 was pronounced dead by South East Coast Ambulance Service,” Kent Police said later in a statement released to the media. “At this stage, the death is being treated as an unexplained sudden death . Police are working to establish the circumstances around the death.” A rep added that no further details would be disclosed on Monday. Peaches Geldof is best known for her contributions in the fashion and entertainment industries, where she’s worked as a columnist for Elle magazine. She wrote for UK newspapers the Telegraph and Guardian , and also worked as a TV presenter, hosting a series called OMG! with Peaches Geldof . This is not the first tragedy to have affected the Geldof family. Peaches lost her mother, Paula Yates, in September 2000 due to a drug overdose. Peaches Geldof was just 11 years old when Yates passed away, and she later said it was a struggle for her to accept that her mother had died. “I remember the day my mother died, and it’s still hard to talk about it,” Geldof said in an interview with Elle UK in late 2012. “I just blocked it out.” “I went to school the next day because my father’s mentality was ‘keep calm and carry on.’ I didn’t start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16.” Peaches went on to marry rocker Max Drummey, but they split up in 2009 after just six months of marriage and finalized their divorce in 2011. In 2012, she married Thomas Cohen, with whom she shares two young kids, sons Astala, 23 months, and Phaedra, not even 12 months. Cohen released his own statement Monday and said: “My beloved wife Peaches was adored by myself and her two sons Astala and Phaedra. I shall bring them up with their mother in their hearts everyday.” “We shall love her forever.” Along with her husband and sons, Geldof is survived by her father, sisters Pixie and Fifi Trixibelle, and half-sister Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

Florida Crazies: Co-Defendants Popped For Making Raunchy Freak Flicks With Decapitated Animal Heads!

WTF ?!?!?! Florida Couple Arrested For Animal Cruelty Sex Videos Via MimaiHerald A Miami woman took fetish p***ography to a disturbing extreme, police say — repeatedly decapitating live chickens and killing rabbits while engaging in sex acts during the filming of an animal torture video. Sara Zamora, 28, was arrested Friday on eight felony counts of animal cruelty for her feature role in a video called “SOS Barn” that a Miami-Dade police arrest report described in gory, stomach-turning detail. “The chicken is enduring extreme pain and suffering during this process,” according to the arrest report. The video clips — filmed for a twisted animal torture genre called “crush” — depicted her and other porn actresses “torturing and killing a wide variety of animals, including chickens, rabbits and more for the sexual gratification of its viewers,” according to police. The barnyard snuff video was filmed at the South Miami-Dade home of Adam Redford, according to the police report, who is listed as a co-defendant. He is already on probation for a similar animal cruelty case in Lee County last year but had not been charged in the Miami-Dade case as of Friday night. Who do you think told the cops about this sick broad and her lil’ films? One guess… Detectives from Miami-Dade’s agricultural unit learned of the video clips from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a prominent animal rights group. Stephanie Bell, director of cruelty cases for PETA, called the arrest “excellent news. We have been waiting for this.” Bell said the group also had tipped off authorities in Redford’s case in Lee County, where she said he had moved. Bell said such videos, graphically depicting animal torture and death, are illegal under state and federal laws. “These videos are unfortunately in demand and it’s hard to fathom that anyone would produce or enjoy them,” she said. In one clip of “SOS Barn,” Miami-Dade police say, Zamora gropes a man’s genitals with her left hand while “repeatedly cutting a chicken’s neck using hedge clippers with her right.” In others, she posed “in a sexy outfit” after hacking off the head of another screaming bird, or she beat chickens to death with a wooden stick. Makes 50 Shades Of Grey look like a Disney book. Image via Lee County Sheriff’s Office Continue reading

Wait, What? 9-Month-Old Baby Boy Charged With Attempted Murder & Threatening Police

9-Month-Old Boy Charged With Attempted Murder via Fox News A nine-month-old Pakistani boy sat on his father’s lap, sucking on a bottle during a court appearance where he and at least 30 others were charged with attempted murder. Little Muhammad Mosa Khan was also charged with threatening police and interfering in state affairs at a Pakistan court Thursday. Khan and others in the group were booked following a police raid to catch suspected gas thieves in the city of Lahore, The Times of India reported. Police say the suspects tried to kill security officers by throwing stones at them. But Khan’s father, Ahmed—who is also accused– says the crowd was protesting an electricity shortage. Ahmed claims police created a fake case against him, his son and others in the group and urged authorities to drop the charges. “Our crime is that we had protested against non-availability of electricity in our locality,” Ahmed said. Judge Rafaqat Ali first directed police to record the child’s statement, then when he realized his age, granted him bail and adjourned the case until April 12. The judge could not dismiss the case as it’s not under his jurisdiction. Senior Superintendent of Police Rana Jabbar said there was a misunderstanding that led police to book the minor in the case. The assistant superintendent who filed the charges against the infant has been suspended. As crazy as things get over in Pakistan at times, we’re surprised that this was actually a mistake.

Florida Man Mistakes Suicide Jumper’s Body For Mannequin, Assumes April Fools Prank

A Florida man working the desk at a Tampa Bay apartment complex for seniors nonchalantly disposed of the body of a resident who’d jumped 16 stories to her death. Mistaking the corpse for a mannequin from an April Fools’ prank. Obviously. Tampa Bay Times reporter Weston Phippen detailed the story yesterday:     Ronald Benjamin, 61, looked onto the patio and saw a shape on the ground. It looked to him like a mannequin. An April Fools’ Day joke, he concluded, and went back to work.     Two hours later, another employee of the senior housing complex at 440 Fourth Ave. N told Benjamin about the shape on the patio. It was just a prank, Benjamin assured her.     When a woman and her teen son came by to deliver the Tampa Bay Times, Benjamin asked the boy to help him move the mannequin into a Dumpster. It gets worse …     He grabbed the shoes and the teen clasped a handful of clothes, which was topped with a ball of whitish-gray hair. It weighed almost nothing, Benjamin noted, as they heaved it into the trash.     Benjamin saw what looked like blood, but he thought it was fake.     Hours later, other workers discovered that the shape in the Dumpster was not a mannequin, but a 96-year-old resident who had jumped 16 stories to her death sometime during the night.     They called Benjamin, whose shift had ended by then, and told him to come back. He was stunned when he was told that it was a person . Benjamin, who was fired, says he is deeply troubled and contrite. When the Times asked him about the mistake, he assumed that because the bars had just closed for the night, some reveler was having fun with a mannequin:     “I’m telling you, I swear to God, the face looked like a rubber mask. If I thought for one instant it was a person I would have called the police, my manager, everyone.” The woman, who was not identified, had left a suicide note and was described by an acquaintance at her nursing home as a “refined” individual.
