NEW ORLEANS, La. — A typo in a court record set free a man who admitted to beating his ex-girlfriend so badly that she had to have her spleen removed.
WWLTV reports that Isiah Spencer is the second inmate in a week to be released in error from the Orleans Parish Prison.
Court records show the minute clerk for Section K of Orleans Parish Prison entered Spencer’s sentence as three months instead of the 33 months indicated in his guilty plea.
Judge Arthur Hunter’s signature is also included on the paperwork; he was not available for comment.
The Orleans Parish District Attorney’s Office said they reached out to the court to correction the error when they found out about it. The victim in the case will receive victim assistant services until Spencer is recaptured.
