Interesting events in a Decatur, Georgia courthouse:
An inmate found himself before a judge sooner than he expected when he fell through the courthouse ceiling into the judge's chambers while trying to escape Monday.
The judge was in the courtroom at the time, but a computer technician was in the room. He took a break from repairing the judge's computer and called for security officers. The inmate was captured in the hall outside the office.
If the computer didn't have a problem, then the inmate would have fallen into a vacant room and might not have been caught. (Especially if he had found an extra robe in the judge's closet.) The big question this leaves is who should get the credit. Microsoft takes most of the blame for viruses written by mailcious hackers, so they get the credit for this one.
