A murder suspect undergoing a court procedure to see if he would be charged as a death penalty case managed to beat feet from the Broward County courthouse and, so far, successfully disappear.
Dayonte Resiles somehow managed to slip from both his handcuffs and leg shackles in the courtroom without being noticed, then simply bolted for the door. He managed to shed his prison jumpsuit in the hallway (how long did it take to launch a pursuit of this guy?) and run to an underpass near the courthouse where his girlfriend and another man were waiting for him. The cops believe that two 17-year-olds in the courtroom gave a signal to the car via cell phone letting them know Resiles was on his way.
His buddies had civies and a “generic police uniform” waiting for him in the car.
The girlfriend, her male accomplice and the two teenagers are now in custody.
Resiles is awaiting charges in the home invasion death of Jill Halliburton Su (yes, one of those Halliburtons) in a home invasion robbery. She was trussed up, dumped in a bathtub and stabbed multiple times.
There is a $20,000 reward for Resiles capture.

I hate to say what everyone already knows. Generally, courthouse security is assigned to the near retirement deputies or the judge's uncle. It needs to change because the cons all know it is the easiest point of escape.
