Suspect Faces Judge Who Was His Schoolmate for 2nd Time

It was an unexpected meeting that shocked the nation. A Florida judge was about to hear a burglary case when she recognized the suspect. The two were former classmates in middle school. Arthur Booth served 10 months in prison in connection with the burglary charge and he was released in 2016. Eight years later, Booth found himself before the same judge, Mindy Glazer. Booth was so embarrassed he could not bear looking her in the eye. Judge Glazer recused herself because of their school connection.

She genuinely looked so disappointed. She was rooting for him

[_Just_Another_Guy]

That man not only disappointed his parents but also a former classmate... twice.

[hoodgiyu]

He not only disappointed that judge, but also the thousands of people who were rooting for his betterment.

[TheTylerboyles]

She was so nice to do that… “I can’t take your case imma have another judge take care of it” such a sweetheart I know she’s disappointed

[MysteriMustacheToast]

She used the “I’m not mad, I’m disappointed” approach and sometimes that hurts a lot worse

[CormacWhite-vc]

Love how these 2 don't need school reunions, they have their own reunions in the courtroom every 9 years

[DavidJ]

If disappointed were a person it would be the judge.

[Poop-ptih]

She described him as "the nicest kid in middle school".
Man, its crazy how life can take you in a whole another direction.

[Olzme]

damn she even sounds completely defeated.

[BobTheBob]

Great judge. Immediately recuses herself because she knows she may show bias to the accused.

[diamondgem]

I bet this guy was praying in his head that his judge wouldn’t be her 😭😭

[JohnnyYeet-srxk]

This dude really disappointed his classmate twice, his parents, and everyone here, including me, who was rooting for him to succeed

[christianfonoti]

The greatest disappointment and humiliation is being judged by a person you once knew long ago again.

[santamaria]

Her disappointment was crystal clear in her voice. She made the right choice .

[SubterrelProspector]

Dude became internet famous and STILL didn't learn.

2016: A new Hope
2024: The disappointment strikes back

[JordanRA]

I'm feeling second hand embarrassment for this dude 😂 jeez that was awkward. He was given the opportunity of a lifetime to turn his life around and he threw her kindness right in the trash. What a shame

[ouranhshc]

If i remember correctly from the first time, the judge told him "i better not see you in this court room again".
Sad 8 years later and hes in that seat again

[EvanMonroe]

She sounded so dead inside. It's hard to have faith in a man when he lets you down again almost ten years after you were hoping he'd straighten out.

[helloeveryone]

This has to be the most depressing thing I’ve seen.
