Added 2020-12-31 02:18:52 +0000 UTCA 37-year-old Fresno, CA man is mistakenly set free by a confused jury during his 2014 burglary trial. After inadvertently presenting the judge with a not guilty verdict form, the court set into motion a series of events that would ultimately lead to the career criminal’s release that very evening. Within just one hour of receiving his newfound freedom - police were called to his mother’s home for a report of a dead body in the street.
