Close Enough for the Judicial System
Officials in Kerrville, Texas, say a clerical error caused a grand jury to wrongly indict Jason Wayne Phillips for injury to a child. Phillips spent 15 hours in jail before officials figured out that the man they were looking for was Jason Dwayne Phillips. "I don't know what to say," said Jack Steele, foreman of the grand jury that indicted the wrong Phillips. "We relied on the information the district attorney provided us."
