The Judge is in the least likely position to stop someone from exiting a courtroom.
That's an excellent point, one that I haven't thought about. The thing that stuns me is that this guy did this on the sixth floor of a courthouse at 9 in the morning and was able to get out of there. I've been on a jury in DeKalb County, so I can say first-hand how many armed law enforcement officers are in there at that time of day. It is *very* busy. I would imagine Fulton's is even busier than DeKalb's.
