Bumping into a former classmate in Target as you search aimlessly for groceries is bad enough, but realizing the judge presiding over your bond hearing is actually a former middle school friend is overwhelmingly evocative.
In the clip above, 49-year-old burglary suspect Arthur Booth is rendered speechless upon the realization that Miami-Dade Judge Mindy Glazer remembers him from their time together as friends at Nautilus. "I’m sorry to see you there," Glazer tells a stunned and emotional Booth. "I always wondered what happened to you, sir." Glazer then detailed their childhood relationship, speaking highly of Booth and their shared circle of friends. "This was the nicest kid in middle school," Glazer says. "He was the best kid in middle school. I used to play football with him. And look what has happened. I’m so sorry to see you there."
Glazer then shoved nostalgia and sudden empathy aside, announcing that Booth's bond had been set at $43,000 for several charges — including burglary, according toWSVN.
