This judge is a very professional and compassionate one. She was viral for recognising an inmate as one of her elementary school friends.

This judge is EVERYWHERE. She needs her own show 😂

It's the same judge as the viral video where she spots a former classmate in court and inspires him to turn his life around. She's awesome and so respectful to those she's presiding over.

Can afford an expensive hotel and be a rude narcissist… but can’t afford a $2, 000 bond?? What a joke!

[threetwentyone]

She’s so lucky she has this judge… because she’s the only one I know that’s compassionate!

[LIVIDACE]

This judge is a real person. And she actually cares. She does not act like she is above anyone. Just a good person. I love watching her.

[qreeneyez]

I love that everyone recognizes the judge. She’s extremely understanding it seems and doesn’t look like she wants to stress any cases. I really like her

She was warned by the cops not to spill water on them, but she did anyway. Its a classic case of f around and find out

[acidalex]

This judge is actually incredibly famous and I don’t think she even knows 😭💀 like I’m from LONDON and recognise her straight away.

So many people don’t seem to understand how bail works lol. She can’t pay for herself! Someone has to do it for her. It says more about her friends/family relationships than her bank account.

I saw this judge the first time on youtube when she went viral for presiding over a robbery case and the guy who was being judged was her grade school friend. The guy didnt know till she stopped her spiel and pointed it out and the dude basically bawled his eyes out and was so humbled by it all. Amazing how 2 kids from the same area growing up could go in such opposite directions. It was touching how kind she was.

[brittlemons]

She got so lucky with this judge being the one to handle her case. Any other judge wouldn’t have been so polite about the situation. I hope Nikita learns from this. Just because you become internet famous doesn’t make you invincible

Love this lady, she’s so respectful and compassionate

[RachSmilesDM-logh]

She was absolutely appalling and disgusting to the staff at the hotel and officers.

[ralfano]

I love the judge’s eye roll when she reads the battery is spilling a glass of water on the officer 😂

[knives]

She's proof of how good people are at pretending on social media, like you can't pay less than 5k for bail? Where are your friends?

[juliomedina]

I'm telling you these influencers are living a lie lifestyle on social media. They're always bragging that they got basically everything, and she doesn't have $1, 000 for bond embarrassing for her.

[thisiskaleidoscopic]

The judge made faces like 'why is she even in custody for this?' when reading and hearing what happened. She was immediately more on Nikita's side and you can clearly tell from her body language and the way she spoke about the issue. But everyone who's seen the body cams can agree that her behavior was more than just a glass of water thrown at the officer and a simple disorderly conduct.. it was straight up unacceptable and no way to treat any other human.

[nicholasiezzi]

I wish there were more judges like her. She seems like she wants to help people, not just punish them and throw them in prison.

[jesica]

I don’t get tired of seeing this judge
