Recently, a shocking incident occurred in a court in Maine, the United States. On September 11 local time, criminal Nicholas Carter actually escaped in court right after being convicted of child abuse.

The surveillance footage clearly recorded this thrilling scene. Wearing handcuffs, Carter rushed out of the courtroom recklessly and charged around in the corridor, colliding with many people present. Then he ran outdoors. Perhaps due to being overly panicked, he tripped and fell face down while running. At this moment, two brave jurors quickly reacted and gave chase, and detectives followed closely behind. Eventually, with the joint efforts of the jurors and detectives, Carter was successfully subdued.

It is reported that Carter was convicted of aggravated assault for beating a child this time. His escape behavior is not only a blatant challenge to the law but also has drawn widespread attention from society. This incident has once again triggered discussions about court security management. Relevant departments said that they will conduct in-depth investigations into this incident to ensure that similar situations do not occur again. At the same time, this also serves as a warning to other criminals that even when being tried in court, they cannot escape legal sanctions. Local people expressed admiration for the brave behavior of the jurors, believing that their actions safeguarded the dignity of the law and social justice. Currently, the follow-up trial work of this case will continue, and people are all paying attention to the final judgment result.
