Re: escape from custody
its hard to formulate some advice for you but yes the person is guilty untill and unless he has got enough grounds to prove the malafied intention of the police.
Re: escape from custody
When the person had knowledge of court order then why he did not surrender before the court even if the police had acted malafidely?If the person can prove that he was told by the police that he is free,then,he has chances to be acquited otherwise there is no escape.
