Good Samaritan inmate secures 11-year cut in prison term

In Raleigh North Carolina an inmate who disarmed a fellow prisoner who grabbed a deputy's pistol outside a courtroom had his 25 year sentence reduced by 11 years. Judge Edwin Preston cited the doorway to the courtroom being unlocked and the inmate defusing a potential hostage situation.
