Ouch!

Found out about a clerical mistake today: in a sentencing order, a clerk put a 3 year minimum mandatory sentence for a vehicular homicide when it should have been 4.  I'm not a lawyer, but the term of double-jeopardy came up and that the court couldn't amend the sentencing order since too much time has passed.  Argh - I feel so sorry for the victim's family.  I just hope this defendant realizes how lucky he is and turns his life around.
