I love the honesty of this woman. The world needs more judges like her.

[malcolmr]

I like this judge. She’s no nonsense but she’s not cruel either.

[lb]

She is 45! OMG she looks so much older! Her Mom looks younger than her!

[cierakitty]

Judge Mary is straight forward...I like it. The woman in front of her...smiling, acting like it's no big deal.

[alexramirez]

They can call her "scary Mary" all they want, but that judge cares. You can tell she truly cares, and that's why she does not mince words, and gives people her honest opinion and judgement. The world needs more people like her. Anyone that stands before her better be on top of it because I guarantee she will rip them to shreds if they aren't. She's awesome

[dreviscerator]

The most surprising thing here is that these people are in their early to mid forties and look like they are in their late 60s.

I like that Judge, she sounded like she wanted to help that woman with a little tough love and give some help to the Mom who must be deep down sick of her daughter’s behavior at 45.

[jesserivas]

45 years old? Life has been rough on her!

[frenstcht]

Mary doesn't sound so scary. She sounds pretty empathetic and compassionate.

[MK-gemh]

I'm almost 47, but if those two are 45 and 44 years old, then I'm 15.

[stzoo]

45 years old and acting like a 16-year-old.

Hands-down one of my favorite judges of all time! I love judge Mary! Because you know what she’s coming from a place of knowing. She’s an alcoholic! She will be the first to tell you I’ve seen many interviews with her and she’s a very honest open person and I love no-nonsense judges

[ash]

She's not scary it's true for what she said the judge is right

[dalejuliancelecia]

45 years old and still needs mum to tell her that's not a good idea oh boy

[Ironwind]

She's all sorry and repentful when they gave her leniency, but soon as she's told not to be around her crappy boyfriend she gets all pissy and walks off.

I live in Michigan, not even this specific area but she is well known in ALL surrounding counties as scary Mary foreal foreal. I've had friends who sentenced by her and they were terrified.

[falanblack]

I LOVE this judge! Yes ma'am! Be accountable for your decisions!

[justcallmesuzzie]

This is one of my favorite Judges of all time! I love her no nonsense approach to her job. I worked with young people before they hit the courts for over 20 years and this was my approach with them. There is nothing like them coming back and telling you that their lives were changed because of this approach!

[harrisjessop]

This is my favorite Judge, she makes Judge Judy look like "Betty Crooker" now....lol
