California murder suspect mistakenly released from jail after procedural error
2021-03-11
It isn’t hard to choose to be competent, but it is a choice. As is being incompetent. Fred wrote a book about this.
[NYPOST] A murder suspect in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, was mistakenly released from jail Tuesday, prompting cops to shut down a Los Angeles highway during an hours-long manhunt, authorities said.

Steven Manzo, who was charged with murder last March, was erroneously released due to a paperwork error following his arraignment Monday, two law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.

The 23-year-old was released from county jail at 2:12 p.m. Tuesday — and spotted 30 minutes later near the 101 Freeway by Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, the newspaper reported.

Deputies sought assistance from Los Angeles police to get Manzo back in jug, but he avoided being re-arrested. The search for him ended at about 5 p.m., NBC Los Angeles reported.
