On July 11, 2019, the sons of a murdered woman jumped over a courtroom table and attacked the man who killed her.

In the video below, Dale Williams, 62, is sitting at the table at his sentencing in Youngstown, Ohio. Then the room explodes.

Elizabeth Pledger-Stewart was shot in June 2017. Williams, her ex-boyfriend, crashed his car into hers and shot her as she got out.

Her daughter was about to read a victim impact statement. One brother leapt over a table. The other ran around it. Both hit Williams until deputies pulled them off and used a stun gun on one of them.

Jerome Stewart, 23, and Anthony Dees, 30, were held in contempt of court and given 30 days each.

Days later, Williams was sentenced to 23 years to life.

Was this justice, or a crime in the middle of a courtroom?

On August 28, 2025, an inmate in an orange outfit escaped deputies in Louisiana. His hiding spot: a garbage can.

In the video below, a home camera catches him climbing over a backyard fence, looking around and getting into the bin like it was a hotel room.

Shon Jolivette, 47, ran off while deputies were taking him to a hospital in Lafayette. He was being held in St. Landry Parish on armed robbery, aggravated battery and a firearm charge.

Three schools were locked down before the school day even started.

Then the officers arrive with a dog. They search the yard. They look around and leave. He stays hidden.

The homeowner is the one who called police. The inmate had moved to a storage container in the yard.

By about 8:20 a.m. he was back in custody.

Was this the worst hiding spot ever, or the only one that almost worked?

@Johnsmith8k7g haha, fair. Mice behind the fridge would have a much easier time than a guy walking up a prison wall

Danelo Cavalcante is 5 feet tall and weighs about 120 pounds. He climbed out of a Pennsylvania prison by walking up two walls like a spider.

In the video below, you can see the exact moment. It took about seven seconds. He braced his hands against the wall, walked his feet up sideways, crossed the razor wire and jumped off the roof.

He was waiting to be moved to a state prison. A jury had just given him life for stabbing his ex-girlfriend Deborah Brandão in front of her children. Prosecutors said he killed her so she couldn't tell police he was wanted for a 2017 killing in Brazil.

Guards noticed he was missing about 50 minutes after he climbed.

For 14 days he ran. He shaved, changed clothes and stole a van. He left a peach, an apple and some snap peas in a stranger's kitchen. A homeowner shot at him while he tried to steal a rifle. Helicopters played a recording of his mother begging him in Portuguese to surrender.

On September 13 police found him by heat signal. He was crawling through thick brush with a stolen rifle. A Border Patrol dog took him down. Not a single shot was fired.

In 2024 he pleaded guilty to the escape and got 15 to 30 more years on top of life.

Was it a perfect escape, or a prison that was never watching?

[Klim @0xKlim_]

@CMFJugo yeah the life sentence is what makes it hit different. if you knew you’d never get out, every day is either planning or going crazy

@rikittan yep, the original footage. Still hard to believe

Michael Ross murdered eight girls and women. Then, on camera, he called himself "such a lovable guy now."

Between 1981 and 1984 he killed them in Connecticut and New York. He was arrested in June 1984, confessed, and was sentenced to death in 1987.

In the video below he talks about the killings in a calm, almost chatty voice.

He says it was "very frightening back then." That was before, he says. Now he is "just such a lovable guy."

He describes a woman walking along a road. "I just stopped the car," he says. At one point he brags about how strong he was.

After years of fighting his sentence, he dropped his appeals in 2004. He said he did not want to put his victims' families through any more pain.

Psychiatrists argued he was not competent to make that choice. The courts ruled he was.

On May 13, 2005 he was executed in Connecticut, the first execution in New England in 45 years.

Three days earlier he had mailed a note to a psychiatrist who fought to stop it: "Check, and mate. You never had a chance!"

Was he sparing the families, or playing one last game?

When detectives asked Brian David Mitchell how Elizabeth Smart ended up with him, he told them to read his book.

In March 2003 he was found walking down a suburban street in Sandy, Utah, with the girl who had vanished from her Salt Lake City bedroom nine months earlier. Elizabeth was 14 when he took her at knifepoint on June 5, 2002.

After his arrest he sat down with an FBI agent and a Salt Lake City police detective.

In the video below, he gives them a different name. He says he is Immanuel David Isaiah, and he explains everything through God.

"By the power of Almighty God," he says, when asked how she came to be in his custody.

When they ask about his real name, he says he has forsaken the world and has no part in it.

The book he keeps pointing to is a 27-page manifesto he wrote himself, "The Book of Immanuel David Isaiah," where he declares himself a prophet.

Later on the same tape, he sings a hymn and yells "Get thee behind me, Satan!" at the officers about a dozen times.

Almost eight years later, prosecutors played nearly two hours of this interrogation for a jury. They said it proved he was in control.

His lawyers said the same tape proved he was delusional. A state court had already ruled him unfit to stand trial. In federal court a judge found him competent, and a government expert said he was faking.

During the trial he was removed from the courtroom for singing hymns.

On December 10, 2010 the jury convicted him. He is serving life in federal prison.

At his sentencing, Elizabeth told him her life was "wonderful" and that he could never hurt her again.

Was he truly delusional, or was the whole performance a plan?

Dennis Rader was a church council president, a Scout leader and a city compliance officer in Park City, Kansas.

Between 1974 and 1991 he killed 10 people around Wichita and mailed taunting letters to the media. Then he went silent for over a decade.

In 2004 he started writing again. In early 2005 he asked the police: if I send a floppy disk, can it be traced?

They answered through a newspaper ad: no, it's safe.

It was a lie.

He sent the disk. Investigators opened the file, and the metadata pointed to a name and a church: "Dennis" and Christ Lutheran Church. The church website listed its council president.

He was arrested on February 25, 2005. He was 59.

He pleaded guilty and received 10 consecutive life sentences. The man who evaded police for more than three decades was caught by a file he sent himself.

@paperhanderr That’s the line that stays with me too. He didn’t want to know, and the voice gave it away anyway. Do you think he ever stopped hearing it?

Between 1978 and 1995, the Unabomber set off 16 bombs. Three people died. More than 20 were hurt. The FBI hunted him for 18 years and still had no name.

Then his younger brother David read the first page of a 35,000-word manifesto on a library computer and heard Ted’s voice.

In the video below, David and his wife Linda tell ABC News how they turned him in.

Linda suspected first. She read what the FBI had released about the bomber and recognized ideas from the letters Ted sent the family. David didn’t believe her: “Ted’s never been violent. I’ve never seen him violent.”

Then he read the first page at her side. His jaw dropped. “On an emotional level, it just sounded like my brother’s voice.”

They hired a lawyer and went to the FBI. David says he spent those days thinking about the families who’d been bombed. In one, a man opened a package at home while his 2-year-old daughter was almost in the room. He died.

On April 3, 1996, agents arrested Ted at his cabin in Lincoln, Montana. They found a bomb ready to mail and almost 40,000 pages of his writing. David watched it on TV with Linda and their mother. “I’m still sort of haunted by the look on his face.”

The FBI paid David a $1 million reward. He gave most of it to the victims and their families.

Then he called Gary Wright, who was hit by Ted’s 12th bomb in 1987 and took about 200 pieces of shrapnel. David started to apologize for his family. Gary stopped him: “You really don’t need to carry this. That’s not your responsibility.”

The two men later toured the country together, speaking against the death penalty.

David on his wife: “Linda saved lives. She saved our family’s honor and self-respect, and ultimately perhaps contributed to saving Ted’s life too.”

He turned in the brother he loved. Then he spent the decades after apologizing to the people that brother hurt.

Was David Kaczynski a traitor to his brother, or the only person who could have stopped him?

[Klim @0xKlim_]

@batagonx Good point. The post itself says Linda noticed first, and that’s the part that often gets dropped when people retell it. Do you think her role gets less credit because she wasn’t the one who went to the FBI?
