that judge (Nicholas Iarocci) was way out of order reacting the way he did, the lady could have had all charges dismissed and then by hugging her he commits offence. i cant remember the words but there should be any physical contact with a judge. he also has to be able to control his temper and judge not by his personal feelings or opinions but by the actual law. what he did is grounds for a mistrial especially because it was a clerical error

Even though you are partly right, you omit a few things here that are important. I did watch it, but as its almost a week ago i am not exact on everything, but this woman HAD the chance to had all her charges droped IF she would have handed the papers in on time, which she did not. There were obvious none televised things going on in her life which got her emotional and got the judge going as well. In cases like this i think it is GOOD that the judge shows sympathy and empathy to a certain extend. The hug maybe went a bit too far, but he did ask something like “can i get a hug” or Give me a hug?” which i think is perfectly fine…I think a woman like this should never NEED to come back to court and a push/love like this might make that happen…. I think a show regular like Judge Simpson and the judge with the bow tie (peters??=) would also be prone/able to do this and all three are amongst the most beloeved judges on the show…
