Jefferson County prosecutor Jane Hanlin says 42-year-old Jason Binkiewicz was being led out of the courtroom by a deputy Friday when he got away and threw himself over the buildings third floor banister. He was then pronounced dead. [

Binkiewicz was sentenced on attempted murder and felony assault charges after he was found guilty in July of shooting a man in the face.

He wasn’t worth much if he killed himself over just 13 years.

Works for me. I’ve always thought that felons should have the option to self-terminate at any time in penal process.
To: umgud
I suspect it might have been an escape attempt rather than suicide.

As to the mattress truck below, “Missed it by that much!”

His wrists and ankles should have been cuffed and chained.
Someone didn’t do their job correctly and will be evaluated.
That aside, I’m sure it was traumatic for the guards to see this happening. They may need time off of work. Maybe this is one of those towns that doesn’t see a lot of violent crime.

In this case either way, he escaped and that was likely his goal thinking it was a better alternative. Happens a lot.

Perhaps the first floor was very high ceiling'd?

Binkiewicz jumped approximately 100 feet to his death They should offer that to prisoners as a sentencing option.

Well, if he did that then I suppose he did the taxpayers a favor.

Had to have been. 3 story fall usually just messes a person up really bad unless you land head first.

I’m just relieved that he spared us the financial burden of supporting him for those 13 years.
His passing is no loss at all.

Had to have been. 3 story fall usually just messes a person up really bad unless you land head first. There was a fellow I knew in college that did exactly that. Probably would have lived except that he dove head first into an iron drainage grate and crushed his skull.
Always be wary of students just before and after finals.
