Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Holding Court With An Old Friend


--by RoseMarie, posted Dec 8, 2016


What an unreal kindness. A female judge is trying a male suspect for petty theft and fleeing from the police. After hearing the case against the suspect the judge asks if he went to a specific school. He then recognises her. It turns out Arthur Booth and Mindy Glazer  went to the same middle school 35 years beforehand. They played together and were  good friends. He then recognises her.

The judge then does something unprecedented; sitting in her official role, she allows her heart to speak and she tells everyone what a good boy the suspect was when he was a child. He sobs hard. I've watched the online video and it's so moving.

What a kindness. This judge did not have to acknowledge that she even had an inkling who this guy was but instead she gives him a character reference in her court!

Something tells me this guy will never be on the wrong side of the law again.
