A typo in a gamer's username sent an innocent man to prison for 18 months

Brandon Klayme served 18 months in prison before it emerged that authorities had arrested, charged and convicted the wrong man. The error traced back to a single underscore character in an online gaming username, which investigators confused with that of the actual suspect. The case exposes serious flaws in how law enforcement identifies suspects based on online gaming data.
