WTH?!? Ailing, Paroled Vet Ordered Back Into Custody After State Parole Board Said It Made A Mistake

Jerry Lett, the ailing, paroled veteran who was ordered back into custody Thursday after the state parole board said it made a mistake in making him a free man in September had his reincarceration postponed Friday after a Montgomery judge granted him a temporary restraining order.

Lett, from Kinsey in Houston County, was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of trafficking cocaine in 2018 and then paroled in September. But the parole board said during another hearing Thursday that it made a mistake in the September decision because Lett had not served at least 10 years of his sentence. []
