Alain Robert the world renowned activist-climber aka the French Spiderman who recently climbed the New York Times Building, walked away with a slap on his wrist: two charges of disorderly conduct. Robert was able to convince the grand jury that neither his life nor the public’s was in jeopardy: “Mr. Robert told the jurors that he handed out fliers before his climb, warning people to stay away from the building, and that he tested the strength of the rods at night beforehand.” |NYT|
