If you live in Rhode Island, chances are you know about Judge Frank Caprio, the funny, fair, and generous judge who isn’t afraid to bend some rules in favor of the people who come to his court.
In a September 2016 clip from “Caught In Providence,” a mom went to court to contest a ticket she got for running a red light. She was accompanied by her young daughter, who held her hand protectively.
Everyone knows that Judge Caprio loves having kids in his court. He had the little girl join him on the bench, and interviewed her before getting down to business. He found out a lot about her: she wants to be a vet, has a dog named Pineapple, and that she had a doctor’s appointment later in the day.
The two reviewed the tape of the mom running the red light, and it was clear that she committed an offense, but instead of asking the woman to defend herself, Judge Caprio turned to the little girl and asked her why she thinks her mother ran the red light, even if she wasn’t in the car at the time.
The little girl took her time, then revealed that she thought her mom was scared by the man standing on the street at the light.
Though the judge knows that the young daughter doesn’t know this for sure, he’s willing to give Mom a break. He passes the verdict: she won’t be paying the fine!
