My fiance has court on Monday. Well today I was looking at his judicial records and noticed that they have his birthdate wrong.
LEGALLY can he get out of his charge for something like this?

No. Minor clerical errors will not help him "get off". However, in many states, if the birth date is incorrect the charge and conviction will not come up on a records check.

No, they would just ammend the complaint to reflect the correct information. It would not have a legal impact as long as the identity of the person could still be proven.
It will be discovered eventually, then your finace will have an alias assigned to his record. I would just advise them of the error before it gets entered into the system.
In Wisconsin, when you run a criminal check, you will get a "near hit" if the information is similar. Unless the date of birth is years off, the information would still come up. I wouldn't want this situation, it could make the person running the information think your fiance is intentionally hiding something, even if it isn't his fault. This could effect him if he was applying for a job, or a line of credit loan.

I doubt that this would be viewed as a substantive error and, therefore, my guess is that he could not "get out of his charge" in this matter.
