Those instructions never came and he went on about his life until the clerical error was caught in 2013. Anderson, now jailed, filed a petition in Mississippi County Circuit Court on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 seeking to require the Missouri Department of Corrections to credit the 13 years he was technically at large after a 2000 robbery conviction.
