In Minnesota most courthouses are designed so that the courtrooms have big double doors that lead from the public hallway into the courtroom. Only one door is kept unlocked - the door to your right as you enter. The other door, which would be to the right as you exit, is always locked. They do that to slow down people who bolt from the courtroom.

When I was prosecuting, the deputies swore that almost every one who tried to run ended up wrapping himself around the locked door (which would be the door you would naturally exit through if you didn't know it was locked) and was easily reapprehended by picking his bruised body off the floor.

No one was able to tell me if the guys who made it through the doorway were all lefthanded or just lucky.
