56 Hours On High

CNN.com - Police grab suspect after 56 hours atop crane
Finally he gives up... I watched this case with interest because I could not help to think how his actions will help or hurt his defense. Logically you might say it will hurt, but then again there is always the old insanity plea.
ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Police on Saturday arrested a suspect in a Florida slaying who had spent 56 hours atop a crane high above an Atlanta construction site.
Carl Edward Roland, 41, was taken into custody after more than two days of negotiators' round-the-clock efforts to convince him to come down, said Atlanta Police Operations Chief Alan Dreher.
Roland ascended the crane via its elevator about 4 p.m. ET Wednesday, walking out on its horizontal arm.
