BEN Rogozensky had hoped not to land in court this week. But that's exactly what happened when the 31-year-old inmate fell more than 3m through a ceiling crawl space during a botched escape at the DeKalb County courthouse outside Atlanta in the US.
Rogozensky landed in State Court Judge J Antonio DelCampo's chambers while the judge was having his computer serviced by a technician, said Mikki Jones, a spokeswoman for the DeKalb County Sheriff's Department.
He was recaptured after dashing into a corridor. Rogozensky, charged with obstructing officers and giving false information, had tried to flee after being taken to an empty room to confer with his lawyer.
