A manhunt is underway in London for 25 yearold Ralston
Dodd, a dangerous knifeman released from prison just a few months into
his sentence due to a clerical court error.
Ralston
was sentenced to nine years in jail after he stabbed Jerrell Holland in
the back three times in north London last September. However, a staff
at the court misheard the judge and wrote down nine months instead of
nine years.
The
UK's Ministry of Justice in a statement said, 'releases in error are
extremely rare but we take any case very seriously. We are urgently
investigating so we learn the lessons to prevent it happening again.
Public protection is our priority. A warrant has been issued and police
are pursuing the offender."
