If you want to hide, call the paper?
The latest news about the 19-year-old who escaped from the courthouse Tuesday is almost as bad as trying to represent yourself in court when you have no law degree–even when you have a law degree, things can get tricky. But this one…”breaking news” item about the alleged escapee calling the Sacramento Bee to discuss his case amazes me. I guess he’s watched too many movies and wanted to tell his side of the story. I think being convicted of car theft would come with a lesser sentence than evading arrest, etcetera and becoming a fugitive.
It’s just one more mistake in the domino game this guy is playing. One after the other, it all comes down.
