First the veto, now this: Police: Typo Allows Suspect to Go Free:

A typo proved tragic for Michael Robb. The popular high school tennis coach was driving down a Seattle street when he stopped his car — possibly to help a young man waving him down. He was killed seconds later by a shotgun blast in what prosecutors say was a racially motivated slaying.

The teen charged in his death, Samson Berhe, had been questioned by police several times during the previous week — including just three hours before the shooting, about a nearby burglary. Officers repeatedly checked their records for outstanding warrants, but nothing came up. They let him go.

Berhe actually did have an outstanding arrest warrant — for car theft in 2025. However, it misspelled his last name as “Berne,” an error police say is the reason officers could not take him into custody before the shooting last Sunday.

Unfortunately, this isn’t an amusing example. How tragic.
