I was hoping the escape attempt would involve the construction and then endless fine-tuning of some Rube Goldberg device made from courtroom objects.

“He was charged with escaping custody and …”
In Germany a prison break per se is no crime (for the prisoner). It’s seen as human nature to try to escape. Only stuff like “recklessly causing harm” or resistance to enforcement officers is, and helping other people to escape.

Teddy… Teddy… I represent your mother, and we’re very disappointed in you. Listen to my words - you’ll never amount to anything. You’ll get no smile from me young man, certainly no affection.

@beschizza - headline is addled (well technically it is not addled, but ‘added’ - but it should be ‘addled’)

That’s nothing, you should have seen how convicts acted 200 years ago when they found out they were being sent to Australia.
