Interesting. That seems more reasonable.

I still maintain though that when this guy is caught, when he's in court again, I think they should leave the restraints on all the time, even after the jury enters. (if he even goes to trial, most likely he'll probably plead out to avoid the death penalty. Georgia has the death penalty don't they?)

I would imagine GA has the death penalty.

Escaped prisoners generally are able to be restrained. HOWEVER, i do not see a trial happening on this one if he gets caught alive. I do see a plea in exchange for life w/ no prayer for parol.

A plea bargain has to be accepted by the DA and the Judge. You think that's very likely in this case, remembering that the DA and possibly the Judge (varies by state) have to stand for reelection (or the case of the Judge, perhaps for continuance)?
