She is a real piece of work, that one!

Assume she will be in full leg schackles once the trial starts.

And a nice electric vest.

Sounds like someone slipped up on protocol. Did these guys think that this was a date? Why wasn't she shackled? Even pregnant women in jail are shackled for medical appointments.

Georgis is the latest state to prohibit the practice, which also was barred in the 2018 federal First Step Act.

He slipped alright. Literally. Twice. Caught on video.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Ok wait! She took her pants off during the run? Or in the doctors office? We NEED to see the entire video. This chick is ballsy! She mind boggles me!

Edited- she had the jail stripes on in the video so she took her a pants off mid run!

i’m still trying to figure that out.
We see Bettlejuice running and trying to scale the wall.
Was pants removal after that? Because KA has striped legs.

From the KXAN article:
The Travis County’s Sheriff’s Office investigation of the escape revealed Armstrong used a jail medical complaint to obtain an outside doctor’s appointment and made a medical request restricting the use of leg restraints, court records state.

It seems she understands how to manipulate the system to her advantage.

Also:
In the course of the investigation, correctional staff searched Armstrong’s cell and found a broken metal pin and dental floss that likely could have been used to manipulate and remove a handcuff, the affidavit states.

Between this, the exercise and the thermal pants, she's obviously given her escape some thought. I assume things didn't go as planned. I wonder what the rest of her scheme was.

Hanging out in her old ‘hood until Halloween where her costume would fit right in!!

Indeed. As at least one person suggested earlier on this thread, she could have had someone waiting nearby to help her (familial getaway driver, perhaps).

I'm so glad this <namecalling> didn't get away. Hopefully they threw her in the hole and she'll be there for a bit.

 

[Gypsy Road]

Unreal! She is evil, manipulative, conniving and dangerous. I hope she never has freedom again and is being watched. She’ll try this again.

 

[carolmaria]

Wow wow wow! So she was able to get her hands free and she removed the striped pants. Wish we could see more video footage.

www.kxan.com/investigations/new-vigorous-exercise-thermal-pants-part-of-armstrongs-escape-plan-court-records-reveal/

According to the affidavit, Armstrong fled as she was exiting the rear entry doors of the doctor’s office, was able to manipulate her left hand from the restraints and removed her black and white striped uniform pants.

“She was wearing thermal pants underneath in an effort to disguise her appearance as an inmate,” the affidavit states.

Plan?
What was she running to?
Who was she running to?
Who is in a thrall to her or dominated by her?
Who is/are her enabler(s)?
All my speculation.

LOL

In the article above it states she made a medical request restricting leg restraints and it was apparently granted. Wouldn't that raise a red flag?

I know. I’m scratching my head also.

 

[Gypsy Road]

I’m still trying to imagine this. Escaping from police, running from two of them…yet having the balls and time to stop and take off your pants.

If she hadn't done that she might have gotten away.

 

[mickey2942]

That has probably earned her a trip to whatever female Supermax prison is available in Texas, after her conviction. And probably flagged now, no more medical appointments without chains. Or any other appointments.

 

[vls12345]

Have any reporters reached out to her defense attorney for a statement? I am guessing the comment would be "no comment" but I am still curious. (What I actually picture her lawyer thinking, as he hides a wry smile, is that people are really... not smart sometimes. Wishful thinking on my part anyway. Imo.)

 

[Snoopster]

10  minutes?????

And the police comment was that they 'never lost sight of her'. I'm guessing they did after she made it over the fence, but I'm glad they found her. She's quite a piece of work.

Edited- she had the jail stripes on in the video so she took her a pants off mid run!

I know right?!?! I read this and my jaw hit the floor! Super brazen and crazy with it! Brazy!!!

She is cold as ice and determined as hell. I hope they're wising up to her antics and plan to keep a much closer eye on her from here on out.

I suggest rolling her out like Hannibal Lecter strapped to a dolly for trial. Better safe than sorry.

I might admire her sang froid and determination...if she wasn't, you know, a murderer.

(Alleged, of course.)
