A judge became emotional after hearing the reason a 96-year-old man was given a speeding violation.
Judge Frank Caprio – who stars in the TV show Caught in Providence – has gone viral in the past for his compassionate and kind-hearted approach towards those who end up in front of him in court.
And one moment that perfectly captures the judge’s softer side is this clip of him dealing with a 96-year-old who was hit with a school zone violation.
In the clip, Mr Coella explains: “I don’t drive that fast, Judge. I’m 96-years-old and I drive slowly. I only drive when I have to.”
The man then explains that he was taking his disabled son to have his blood work done.
When asked how his son was, the man replied: “He’s 63. I take him for blood work every two weeks, because he’s got cancer.”
At this point the man appears to become emotional, and he’s not alone, because Judge Caprio also seems to tear up – and I’m pretty close to tears myself, to be honest.
The judge tells him: “You are a good man. You really are what America is all about. Here you are in your nineties and you’re still taking care of your family. It’s just a wonderful thing for you.

“I wish the best for your son and I wish you good health and your case is dismissed. Good luck to you and God bless you.”
