A convicted murderer who was accidentally released from custody while awaiting a court appearance in South Carolina on Tuesday has been apprehended, the York County Sheriff's Office said on Saturday.

Thomas Aaron Whitlock, a 31-year-old with an "extensive" criminal history, was let go Monday afternoon from the York County Detention Center -- which only realized the mistake nearly 24 hours later when arrangements were being made to return him to prison in Windsor, N.C., according to the Sheriff's Office.


"I could go into a lot of discussions that we've had as to how this took place," Sheriff Bruce Bryant told The Charlotte Observer. "We deal with thousands and thousands of prisoners each year, book close to 7,000 prisoners each year. There has been a mistake made."

On Saturday, the Sheriff's Office announced Whitlock had been caught on East Camp Wisdom Road in Dallas, Texas, at the home belonging to the mother of his child. He surrendered without incident, according to a statement on the Sheriff Office's website.

"Members of the York County Sheriff’s Office and other law enforcement agencies have worked around-the-clock to capture Whitlock since he was released in error on February 27, 2012," the statement added.

South Carolina records show Whitlock had previously been convicted on burglary and robbery. He was arrested in April 2010 by FBI agents who found him hiding under a home in Dallas, Texas, and he was later sentenced to between 11 and 14 years in the 2009 death of Jamie Thompson in Charlotte, the Charlotte Observer said.

Whitlock also has drug possession charges in his criminal history, which the Sheriff's Office described to the Charlotte Observer as "extensive."

The Sheriff’s Office said it had worked with other law enforcement agencies and the North Carolina Division of Adult Correction to find the fugitive. Bryant also has launched an investigation into how Whitlock was released.

What's so bad about American parents, anyway?
Mar 2nd 2012, 21:02

It wasn't that long ago that American parents were gripped with Tiger Mother anxiety. Did we overpraise our kids in the name of promoting self-esteem? Were we forfeiting an Ivy League future for them if we didn't force them to practice endless hours of violin or rip up birthday cards that weren't perfect? Were we, as Amy Chua said in her best-selling memoir, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," raising children who were "soft" and "entitled?" Now, though, it's the French who have it figured out. Just like Chua's book, journalist Pamela Druckerman's recently released "Bringing Up Bebe" — which lauds the "wisdom" of French parents, who love their children but don't live for them the way American parents do — has hit the bestseller lists. Another new parenting-by-comparison book, "How Eskimos Keep Their Babies Warm," extols the virtues of the Argentines, who keep Baby up late for special occasions, and the Japanese, who let their kids fight it out.Such frenzied fascination with foreign parenting raises a question: Are American parents really that bad?

The casket of slain Chardon High School student Daniel Parmertor is carried to his gravesite in Chardon, Ohio on Saturday.

By msnbc.com and wire

CHARDON, Ohio - Hundreds of people stood shoulder to shoulder along the street on a cold, windy Saturday morning to honor one of three teenagers killed in a high school shooting.

The service in Chardon for 16-year-old Daniel Parmertor is the first of the three funerals. Services for 16-year-old Demetrius Hewlin and 17-year-old Russell King Jr. will be held next week.

Parmertor's family said they planned to bury him with his first paycheck — still unopened — from his new job at a bowling alley, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reported.

At the mass, Danny's brother Dominic said, "Not only did I lose my brother, I lost my best friend. I don't want to wait 50 or 60 years to see you . . . My life will never be the same," according to The Plain Dealer.

Students walk after the burial of Daniel Parmertor at All Soul's Cemetery on Saturday, in Chardon, Ohio.

Those honoring the teen wore the school's colors of red and black and huddled in hoods, knit hats and blankets. They held U.S. flags and signs featuring red hearts and saying "We are One Heartbeat." Some expressed continued disbelief about the Monday attack.

Parmertor was remembered as a computer whiz and for his laugh and wit.

NBC affilate WKYC-TV reported members of the community were handing out food andwater to each other before the funeral procession as mourners lined the street to show the Parmertor family their support.

Two other students were seriously wounded when a gunman opened fire in the cafeteria at Chardon High School, about 30 miles east of Cleveland. One remains in serious condition; a second has been released from the hospital.

The Mass was held at the Church of St. Mary across the street from the school complex where the attack occurred. It's the same church where thousands showed up for a vigil earlier this week.

On Friday, hundreds had waited hours in cold rain to pay respects to the teen at a funeral home in nearby Eastlake. He was to be buried at a Chardon cemetery.

Hearing for suspect next week
Charges filed in juvenile court accuse 17-year-old T.J. Lane of aggravated murder, attempted aggravated murder and felonious assault. Lane's next hearing is Tuesday.

Chardon starts painful process of getting back to normal

Prosecutor David Joyce said the motive for the shooting remains unclear. He said the victims were selected randomly, and he called the suspect someone "who's not well."

Classes resumed at the 1,100-student school on Friday with police on hand.

Tyler Cowen on "the college premium":

The numbers show a conflicted yet striking pattern. Real earnings for men, 25 to 34, with bachelor's degrees are down 19 percent since 2000, and for female college graduates of that age they are down 16 percent since 2003.

Why are novelists wary of writing about Wall Street?
Mar 3rd 2012, 18:53

British writer John Lanchester, who recently wrote a best-selling novel about the economic crisis, explains why writers of literary fiction are reluctant to write about high finance:

The third and final reason why the literary [sic] is wary of the financial concerns [is] complexity. ... In order to put the full complexity of these worlds into a story, you would have to explain complicated subjects, and give the explanation however much time and space it needs. But you can't explain in fiction, not like that and not at that necessary length... explanations break fiction. It's fine in small doses, as a dollop of rationale before the main course of drama, but anything longer and the reader wakes hours later to the familiar clanking noise of the milkman delivering bottles to the front door...
