Reel in the Excuses

Judge Frank Caprio has captured hearts around the world with his compassionate and deeply human interactions inside and outside of the courtroom. He grew up in a humble household as the second of three boys with a stay-at-home mother and a father who worked as a fruit peddler and milkman. In their cold-water flat, family love sparked his ambitions. Young Frank shined shoes, delivered newspapers, and worked on a milk truck, following his parents' example of working hard to better the lives of those around him. This upbringing ingrained in him an extraordinary ability to view the world from the perspective of others. Frank dedicated his life to service, becoming the Chief Judge dealing with criminal court cases. Known for being funny but profoundly fair, he acts with his audience and takes their advice on what to do next, giving them only three choices. He is caring, open-minded, and trustworthy, enjoying hobbies such as reading mystery novels and gardening and having served in the military before becoming a judge.
