Sunday, September 04, 2011 DOC Error Allowed Inmate Out Early To Commit Murder A man accused of brutally beating to death a Lafayette man last month should have been in prison. An error by the Department of Corrections in calculating his sentence for previous crimes he committed allowed Antonio Williams to kill 26-year-old Jememy Gibson after he was released 17 months earlier than he should have been released in March.

Gibson's abduction and beating death with a pickax or shovel on July 6 in rural Tippecanoe County was difficult enough for the Lafayette man's family

More On State Correction Officials Admit Police Shooter Slipped Through The Cracks It only takes one really bad case to reveal flaws in our state correction systems and the case of police shooter Thomas Hardy is proving to be that case for the administration of Gov. Mitch Daniels. The Star's Carrie Ritchie has more on the admission of Department of Correction officials that two key mistakes made by Thomas Hardy allowed a man with a criminal record a mile long to be freed after he had been arrested and jailed in November for theft despite 11 prior convictions: Mistake one: Indiana Department of Correction spokesman Doug Garrison said the department failed to enter the parole status of Thomas X. Hardy, 60, into a law enforcement database.

.Evan Spencer Ebel
Ebel's 2008 written plea agreement in the assault was supposed to impose a consecutive sentence of up to four years -- in other words, it was supposed to add four years to his existing eight-year prison sentence. Because that written stipulation was part of the plea deal, the court statement says, the judge never said expressly that it was a consecutive sentence. Therefore the court never recorded that key fact on a document called the "mittimus," a sentencing order given to the Department of Corrections. The Department of Corrections is required to assume a sentence is concurrent -- or served simultaneously -- unless it is otherwise noted in the paperwork they are given.
