Oregon murder suspect escapes courthouse in wild security video


Murder suspect Edi Villalobos fled courthouse and was arrested hours later, hiding in closet, police say


Courthouse surveillance video shows an Oregon murder suspect sprinting away from bailiffs after they unshackled him in court – a requirement under state law – then escaping the building and prompting a massive manhunt.

Edi Villalobos Jr., a 28-year-old accused of murder and a slew of other felonies, was supposed to stand before the court for the start of his trial. Instead, he ran down the hallway and out an employees-only exit, video shows.

"Per Oregon law, the deputies removed all restraints from Villalobos during the jury selection process," the Washington County Sheriff's Office said in a statement. "At around 11 a.m., the court took a break, and restraints were placed back on Villalobos. When the break ended, deputies again removed all restraints from Villalobos, as directed by Oregon Law."

Before they unshackle criminals in Oregon, they should make them don some cement shoes. Bruno Gambino of NYC can hook the court up with a few dozen pairs of quality, I'm sure.

I have an idea for a great invention. A Jock strap built like a dog shock collar .
Maybe jack up the current a bit . Give the prosecutor the remote..

I’m still a fan of the collars they used in Running Man.

Removing restraints from a defendant during a court proceeding is not that unusual if there is to be a jury involved. The theory being the restraints might be an inference of guilt and may adversely influence the jury. Not something I'm in favor of but a generally held policy of the courts. I would think the old ball and chain would be a pretty good deterint.

Obviously he's innocent.
