Francisco Daniel Romero lost nine days of his life and faced the fear of punishment for murder because of a clerical error that remains unsatisfactorily explained. Pulled over for an expired inspection sticker, Romero had the misfortune of having a name similar to Francisco Javier Romero, a suspect in a 1999 shooting death. The Arlington police, who stand by their officers’ decisions, detained Mr. Romero despite the fact that neither a photograph nor a driver’s license number matched Mr. Romero to the suspect.
