Prisoner escaped court cell after blunder by guards
James Stevenson had 29 previous convictions, including one for killing his mother's boyfriend, and had previously escaped from prison.
Given his history, one would have hoped that, when putting him in his cell following his latest court appearance, security staff at Swansea Guildhall would have locked the door. They didn't. And, using a shoelace and a fire extinguisher, Stevenson escaped again. Twice.
Yesterday the 30-year-old was back in court and jailed for an additional two years after admitting escaping from custody.
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
Gotta keep yer eye on them or they scarper.
