Moment judge recognised school friend in dock - BBC News

Watch the amazing moment when two school friends, a judge and a man suspected of burglary, were 'reunited' briefly during a court hearing in Miami, US. "I'm sorry to see you here," said Judge Mindy Glazer. "I always wondered what happened to you." Standing in the dock, Arthur Booth, who was arrested after he was chased in a car by police, broke down in tears when he recognised his former class-mate. Judge Glazer set Mr Booth's bond at $43,000 (£27,500).

Good and bad are man made constructs and are ultimately illusionary

[@LegionIvory]

@@alexclark4968 Not exactly. Pro and Con are both legitimate expressions within most sentient beings. If we like something, it's a pro. If we don't, it's a con. When two beings interact, their pro's and con's react. The results of those reactions is Good and Bad. The simplest example is this: If I interact with you (pro), and you decline (con), my reaction will create either a Good or Bad. If I walk away, your con becomes a pro (Good). If I stay, your con remains (Bad). This of course is ultimately a theory, but it can be accurately applied to many areas of life.

It really depends on the closeness of the relationship. In some cases, it’s mandatory for the judge to recuse himself or herself. Recusal is mandatory in cases where there is some financial tie that would cause the outcome of the case to affect the judge or a member of the judge’s family directly. For example, a plaintiff in a case assigned to Judge A is represented by Law Firm X. Judge A was formerly a member of Law Firm X and still has contractual rights to payments from the Firm for her interest in the Firm, based in part on the financial success of the Firm. Or the case involves property adjoining property the Judge owns and has the potential to increase or decrease the property value of the Judge’s parcel. Or the case involves a business in which the Judge’s spouse is employed.

You know that you failed. Every hour of every friggin day. Specially if you are not a criminal and was doing ok at first, but got into trouble bc of, basically, bad luck. It is bad enough, for a good person (bad ppl dont give a crap), when you have to stand in front of a judge and be judged. Unless when you have totally given up on justice, which is also when you dont give a shit anymore. But as long as you do, it is an institution representing the ppl, which you respect. And it is utterly embarrassing to stand there and be judged. If then the judge is someone you knew, when you werent deemed a criminal yet and reminds you, it is not that you are reminded that you are doing bad. You know that. It is the kind words she speaks of you.... THAT is what gets you. Because you never get kind words as a designated criminal. Everyone and their uncle, bc they want to hang on to the justice system being always right, puts all the blame on you. If that isnt true, it bugs you, but gradually you start to believe it is you. It happened to you right, so yea, you cant deny there must be something in you that is not right. And then someone, the judge ffs, reminds you that you were once good. Holy fek (this guy obviously isnt a real criminal. That is, he may have done things that arent allowed, but he will not be a generally bad intention crimininal. Such a person would not shed a tear in this situation. He would prolly say f off, or if he's smart, try to make use of the situation to his benefit. Obviously i speak from experience. I can deal with most things. What i cannot deal with is someone speaking loving words about me. Specially if it comes out of the blue Then i instantly break down.

It's incredible to see the subtle change in the range of emotions he felt. When he first realised that the judge was an old friend, he was happy to have met someone from his past. Immediately after, you can see the memories of who he was back then flood back into his mind, and he realises the full weight of who he had become in that moment. This was not just an unjust world acting against him, this was someone close, someone known, that he had just forgotten, and the shame becoming a criminal and meeting someone who only knew the good in him drove him to break down. I'm happy that he was able to make a recovery and find success in life, and it always amazes me how impactful even small emotions can have on our minds.

such a gracious judge.. she called him.. SIR.. she got my respect.

[@JunJun..]

@Grant420 ok then? I wonder what you do for a living that makes you so superior to her?

[@outsideworld76]

@Grant420 judging is a hard job, very cognitive work and that is very exhausting.

[@fragrancedeparadis1275]

Mi Key mine too

[@piichuu3596]

@Grant420 what exactly do you do to better the human race? I mean if you're not a judge then you're clearly clapped. Imagine all the money you could make by just "sitting on your ass all day"

@Grant420 being a judge can be stressful and they are often attacked

Btw what's his case?

[@ayansan290]

You’re so right. When you meet someone from school years and years later everyone dreams they would have made something of themselves and he was reminded of his position.

The judge wouldn’t be embarrassed more like heartbroken. To see such a nice boy turn into something he is now.
