Looks like the judge ruled that Mr. Anderson has turned his life around and has been released with no further prison time. He has spent the last 10 months in jail awaiting the hearing (which took 10 minutes) announcing the judge's decision.

CHARLESTON, Mo. — A Missouri man who didn't go to prison for more than a decade because of a clerical error can go home to his family, a judge ruled Monday...
"You've been a good father. You've been a good husband. You've been a good taxpaying citizen of the state of Missouri," said Judge Terry Lynn Brown of Missouri's 33rd Judicial Circuit Court in Charleston, Mo. "That leads me to believe that you are a good man and a changed man."
The judge said Anderson would be given credit for the 4,794 days between when he was convicted and when he was arrested last year and allowed him to walk out of the courtroom with his wife and 3-year-old daughter on one arm and his grandmother on the other.
