“William A. Blythe, 29, ...
Blythe has previous convictions from 1993”
Can that be correct? That would put him in prison at 14?
Unless tried and convicted as an adult, most states would have sent him to a juvenile detention center until 18 or maybe 21 then cut him loose. And again, in most states, his juvie record would have been sealed—giving him a clean slate.
Something doesn’t sound right. I bet he is either 39 or his conviction was in 2003.
Although it would certainly not be the first time that a tentacle of the dinosaur media got something wrong, here's an upstanding young pillar of the community who was charged with first degree murder at 14
Pachino Hill sentenced to probation, church (Judge gives violent felon choice of church or jail)
I would suggest that the most important thing in this particular circumstance would be to instantly phone the local law enforcement if you see anyone who looks even close to being similar to the posted photo and let our police friends work out whether he's the correct age and the correct person or not. He's been on the run since October of last year and so he's had plenty of time to get fake ID, etc.
Even if the police are called for the wrong person, I'm sure that all concerned would be grateful that the public is being on their toes and trying to assist the cause of justice.
He looks more like 39 than 29.
Not quite prison. And it is correct.
