Un homme suspecté du meurtre d’un homme à Cleveland, en Ohio, aux États-Unis, a été libéré lundi 24 juin 2024 en raison d’une erreur de frappe sur son numéro d’écrou.

He was arrested in Cleveland, Ohio, United States, during a traffic stop. Amarion Sanders, 22, is suspected of the shooting death of a family father. He was being held in Ohio on $1 million bail, reports the New York Post.

This man was released from prison on Monday June 24, 2024, after a clerk confused his case number with that of another inmate.

Nut numbers mixed up

The accused who was to be released, Antonio Seymore, 35, was detained for assault and theft. The two detainees had prison numbers 685908 and 685909 , specifies the New York Post.

This error occurred when prosecutors decided to dismiss the Antonio Seymore case after witnesses failed to show up for his trial at the Cuyahoga County Courthouse.

Error

Antonio Seymore's case number, very close, within one digit, to that of Amarion Sanders, was then entered into the system incorrectly.

The man was found in a vehicle and arrested Wednesday June 26, 2024 according to News 5 Cleveland. The procedures should be reviewed so that such an error does not occur in the future.
