Before re-arrest, he apologizes to man — who feared he might be killed

HOUSTON - A prison inmate mistakenly released 36 years early was re-arrested after approaching his victim in a bar and apologizing for shooting him in the head.

Willie Joe McAdams had been sentenced to 40 years in prison for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, but because of a clerical error, he was released in May after just four years, said Michelle Lyons, a Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswoman.

how does this happen? how does someone get out 36 YEARS early?!
Harris County District Attorney investigator Johnny Bonds said someone within the prison system wrote "4" instead of "40" years for McAdams' sentence, so he was discharged without even being put on parole.

Shit happens. :dunno:

Besides, McAdams hunted the guy down and said he was sorry. He sounds like a nice guy. :lol:

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
