Judge grants big break to convicted robber
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) -- A man who has served just a quarter of a 45-year prison sentence soon will be enjoying freedom, thanks to a generous Lenawee County judge.
Judge Timothy Pickard says his opinion about Ian Anderson has changed. Twelve years ago, when Anderson was 18, he was sentenced to a minimum of 45 years in prison for armed robbery.
A psychologist who once labeled Anderson a dangerous man now has a different opinion. The Corrections Department also believes Anderson can safely return to society.
The Daily Telegram in Adrian reports that Anderson soon will get a parole hearing, the first step to freedom. He appeared in court last Friday and apologized for his crime. The Corrections Department says Anderson has helped inmates learn to read and write.
