Electronic Ankle Tag Put On Man’s Fake Leg in Deadly Mistake
25th June 2016
A slip-up made by a technician fitting an electronic tracking bracelet on a man with a long-standing criminal record has ended in tragedy.
The GPS device was mistakenly applied to the ankle of Washington DC man Quincy Green’s fake leg in April, while he was on house arrest for a gun charge.
Mr Green, 34, then removed his prosthetic leg with the electronic tracker attached, before allegedly shooting and killing Dana Hamilton, 44, in the American capital in the early hours of 19 May.
If there is some way to screw something up, a government employee will find it.
And they want to put such people in charge of our health care….
