A Real Slip and Fall Case.
An inmate in Decatur, Georgia found himself before
the judge sooner than he expected when he fell through the courthouse
ceiling into the judge's chambers while trying to escape, according to
local police.
The not so light footed inmate, Ben N. Rogozensky, was one of about a
dozen inmates awaiting hearings on September 6, 2003 when he was taken to
the empty jury room to speak with his attorney.
The inmate asked to go into the adjacent restroom and from there staged
his ill-fated getaway, climbing into the ceiling crawl space.
State Court Judge J. Antonio DelCampo was in the courtroom when the
barefoot Rogozensky fell through the ceiling and landed near the judge's
desk in his chambers.
A technician who was fixing the judge's computer called for security
officers, who grabbed Rogozensky in the hallway.
