by finding him not guilty.

That's pretty wild. A guilty or a deadlocked jury and he'd still be alive.

The jury in the trial of Bobby Lee Pearson, 37, mistakenly signed a not-guilty form Wednesday, and the flabbergasted judge said he had no choice but to order him to be released from jail because the verdict had already been put on the record.

Fucking what?  Accidentally?  The entire jury?  And the judge has no choice but to follow the instructions of a piece of paper?  He can't check back and say, "Hold on, are you really sure about this?"

I had the same thought. He can't check with the jury foreman to make sure they filled the form out right? He HAS to accept whatever they checked even if they didn't mean to?
