Freed In Error, He's Returned To Folsom
Henry Cortez, 37, spent three days free after Folsom State Prison misread a court ruling. He was paroled Nov. 1, worked at a pipe factory, and reunited with three daughters before authorities recalled him, facing 21 more years behind bars. The error stemmed from misreading an appellate decision about his sentence. Cortez had been serving a 30 year minimum on heroin possession. The California Supreme Court had required a hearing before Judge Neblett on a prior conviction appeal. If Neblett rejects, a possible commute or rehearing could occur.
