That is good which has to happen in everyones life that realization of what you can do if u just put your mind,spirit and your body into it.. finally he has the ability to overcome the mountain....and deserve to have a house in the beach( if he likes it hahaha)
That judge probably saved that man's life! He seemed genuinely touched that someone remembers him as a decent person that lost his way. I hope he gets his life together.
Final point. She didn’t even sentence him. She had to defer the case because she cared about him. She still came to visit him on release anyway. She’s just a good person. I respect her immensely.
Well I'm sure she deferred the case because of legal reasons and conflict of interest. You can't really sentence someone that you know personally on that level cause bias comes into play. It has nothing to do about her caring for him. If she didn't know him from Adam and cared about his well being she could of carried out the sentence.
@@gregwilliams1879 That's why connections is important is life. You could be a PHD Master graduate from Harvard and have 10,000 of Degrees but if you don't know how to socialise and you don't know anyone, you won't make it far in life. This is the perfect example of why having connections is important.
A judge that is not afraid to associate herself with a jail timer. She is humble and respectful as a law enforcer and a human being. Sets such a good example
Summer.. She is a judge and has to remain professional.. She can't be buddy buddy with someone just because she knew them before.. That wouldn't convey equality and fairness to all those who didn't know her when they were younger so she has to convey a degree of impartiality toward his friendship considering what position she has in the court. Don't be so quick to JUDGE xD lol sorry I couldn't resist.
tehfluffynuts That’s true...must be really embarrassing for him and maybe guilt too. Though, sometimes, the world is not as vast as it made out to be. It can be a small world. The way they coincidentally ended up “meeting” each other was on bad time.
And now he's a manager at a pharmaceutical company. He got help for gambling addiction and now lives a clean life. He credits the judge for helping him turn his life around. He realised what his life could have been at the moment he recognised her. He said its never too late to start again
The first "Oh my goodness" is him realizing, it is a classmate The second "Oh my goodness" is him realizing, what situation they're in The third and rest of them, is his feeling of guilt, shame and sadness...
@zan zy I mean if I heard it exploded on social media and just got out of jail. It may be a chance at a fresh beginning. I may get hired because of all the fame. But that's my opinion
The fact that she remember the day of his release and present herself there has already spoken much that she cares about him as her former classmates. Who cares with the hugging?? Geez!
The fact that she said “I wonder what happened to him” meaning she still thought about him from time to time and wanting to know whether he was successful in life is just heartwarming and very thoughtful of her.
because the guy was a genius. best in math and a very good kid, definitelty known and nautilus is one of the best schools that cater for bright students
She could've just ignored his name even it she was 100% sure it was him, but SHE DIDN'T.She gave him hope by letting him and others know, that at one time in life he was a good kid and that goodness is still in him.Because at his core/ foundation he IS a good person.I wish him well.Thanks Judge Mindy for giving this man hope
So true, I was a good kid in school and through situations I went through like being jumped a few times and my broken home changed me and I went down a dark path. I become a criminal and had a massive chip on my shoulder. One day my older sister sat me down and reminded me of the good boy i was and it really hit home. Am that nice boy again 😀 thank God 🙏🏽this had me crying lol
They mention he’s an addict. So that means he’s likely been clean the last 10 months vs using like in the first hearing so he’s going to look much healthier as a result. Good for him.
This is so painful. I checked his records, it's been 6 years so this release since he's been back. I think this might've actually truly been life-changing for him. And who knows what circumstances drove him into those decisions, we'll probably never know. I hope he's doing well.
Probably a long time since someone didn’t treat him like trash and expected the worst of him. He was back when he had a bright future and then y were kids
I've seen this video a couple months back and saw your comment. Now that I've rewatched it, your comment was the first thing that came to my mind. What a great message.
I'm sure the hug would have been different if the camera weren't there. It's an awkward situation for a judge. Pretty sure they care about each other deeply.
The judge is fully aware that it is a conflict of interest to have physical contact with a person standing before her court. She handled the situation professionally and humanely at the same time!

See Mr. Booth's family. Just Mom no Dad. That's the reason the nicest kid became a criminal - raised by a solo mom who probably kicked his nice Dad to the street.
@@PeopleHealthTruyoure probably right. Thats probably the worst thing that ever came out of the Civil Rights era. Western households got ruined. And people have lost their morals because of it
Her words about him was stronger and more powerful than a hug who cares she spoke highly of him and in court she didn't act like she didn't know him speaks volumes of her character
This makes me teary. You can see the impact her asking if they knew eachother had on him. I really believe he will try to turn his life around, all because of that question. If not will some people just can't change, but I think he will.
+Niagara Fluke lol, exactly what I was thinking. I also was thinking maybe she was like "all these cameras on me, I can't be huggin this nigga to affectionately"
I noticed the hug as well. Honestly, she strikes me as someone who is a bit serious and maybe a little reserved by nature. She probably hugs everybody like that..lol Another thing...just because she knew this man in grade school doesn't mean he is the same person he was back then. He could have stalkerish tendencies or may get a little too close. So, she still needs to maintain a certain amount of boundaries considering the position she is in. I think she handled herself well. Honestly, I think it was great of her to even acknowledge him, because she didn't have to.
You could honestly see the happiness in his face when he recognised an old friend. His immediate instinct must have been to go hug her, ask her how she’s been, catch up on life. But he realised real quick the position he was in and that that wasn’t an option, hence the heartbreak. Really hope this guy got good and turned his life around. Underneath whatever bad he’s done, there’s a good soul.
I was initially feeling like she gave him a 'you're below me' hug, but after analyzing the video, I think it was just an awkward hug. He surprised her with the sudden motion to hug and by the time she committed, his arms were already already around her and she got stuck in an awkward position and tried to make the most of it. It's like when you motion to shake someone's hand and they grab your hand too low and shake your fingers but you just go with it any way.
A man is supposed to go low when hugging a woman but he went high. Her natural response was probably to go high but she was caught off guard when he didn't go low and she got stuck.
@@jackspade7234 jail isn't necessarily a punishment. Jail time is only a punishment in developing countries. In the developed world jail is a form of rehabilitation too.
@@jackspade7234 Its her profession and prison can be rehabilitating too like the person above me said. Also i doubt Derson is refererring to literal angel from religions lol
Being only classmates and for her to recognize him after all those years, I have to believe that he was a good kid. I'm rooting for him to now be a good adult and to show the good that she and probably others saw in him. He looks different already for sure. I don't think I could recognize any classmates from middle school. I don't even think I could recognize anyone from college. But that's probably because I didn't go to college.
@Shirl Zitting haha I know. I was just trying to be funny. But like you said she probably recognized the name and then she asked him and based on his reaction she knew it was him. And also based on that reaction, we know he recognized her too. Because after she asked, that's when he really looked at her. I hope he turned his life around. He looked sincere to me. And the the judge is cute you're right and I'm going to say she seems like a good human being too.
A judge helped changed my life around. She never gave up on me even when my probation officer tried to revok me for not paying my fines, she yelled at him and literally terminated my probation and removed all my fines I will always remember her. That made me change the way I lived, all she wanted was for me to work hard and live right.
That was such a crazy moment... At first he was just hyped when he recognised her, but a split second later, he realises the situation he's in and shame hits him super hard... I'm sure her kind words that day motivated him to re-become a good person and probably changed his life!
She have giving him so much support to show up at his release. Sometimes in life things happens to us. Where we need to get help from those to get us back on track.
Dear KA: Everyone who watches this should be tearing up with moisture from eyes ready to touch their cheek; as we meditate with *meaningful* emotion: motivating and maneuvering this malfeasant mister into a much better mindset, as this is the guarantee of one less man going back to whence he came. His heart is growing out of his soul.
“DONT LET US DOWN” damn! She’s seeet but not afraid to be tough as well. Real authority- loving motivating but not willing to let people off the hook from being what the could be.
Alot of emotions went through that guy's mind. The joy of seeing a childhood friend, then realisation of the current situation, then the shame of seeing the difference between them. Finally the reminder of what he could have been and someone truly remembers him as a nice person. Really hope this guy can turn around and stay out of trouble

Folks commenting like they expected her to French kiss the brother .. first she owes him nothing, a handshake would have sufficed .. secondly the comments show that most don't understand the etiquette between subordinate and authority relationships .. folks need to understand that there is a proper place and time to act like friends and a proper place and time to treat a friend in an Authority position with the respect that is due the position.
@@Remi_marie A jailer oversees all daily functions of a jail and housing of inmates. That includes conducting headcounts, random searches for contraband, serving meals, escorting inmates to visitation, escorting inmates outside for 1hr recreation, respond to fights, and ect. So basically a jailer does the same for a county jail, that a correctional officer does for a prison.
For all you talking about the hug she gave him, she recognized him from middle school. You heard what she said" He was the nicest kid (in middle school). She don't see him as a criminal She sees him as a childhood friend who made a mistake. Luckily the judge was cool as hell to give him his life back. Bless her🤗🤗🤗
Herta Schneider It’s almost kind of sad how you pompously correct the grammar of other people in order to disguise your general inability to add something of substance to the conversation.
Sometimes, just reminding a person of the good things you saw in them is enough to spark a turn-around if it is is genuine and said with compassion. Way to go.
a real, professional, kind hearted judge. the one who wants the best for people, who wants them to live happily and be lawful. i wish all who worked in the criminal justice system were like this.
Yes some people would worry about being seen as unprofessional but this interaction was key to him turning everything around. I’m so glad she decided to speak to him on a human level
Well this aged like milk. He was just arrested again for stealing jewelry from elderly people, and even got reunited with this judge in court. What a disappointment.
I have a soft spot for the judge like she's so kind and respectful. The one being sent to prison makes me cry, this happen for like 4 years ago I hope he's living his best life.
+Rajeev Mathew - I'm just picking your comment out randomly. Adults that have been sexually assaulted/abused as children usually have issues with people "touching" them... even loved ones. This could be the back story with this hug.
You know why he was crying in court? It's like he's ashamed of what he's become in front of his classmate. Also the memories they had together and sharing their dreams when they were kids to seeing each other as a judge and as a criminal.
I cried when I saw the first video of these two...I've had friends like this. You see talent in people and then something happens along the way in their journey through life. I hope he does do good for himself. XXXX Also goes to show that the judge has a heart.
Man he smiles for a second there after he recognizes her and then immediately remembers the situation they're in and he just breaks down. This is really sad, I hope he's living a better life nowadays.
I cried alongwith him. Imagine his regret,his thoughts,his embarrassment running through his mind during that time. I really hope he is a changed person. He looks like a good guy.
I feel bad for the judge who went out of her way to help him become better, if you don't know he was just convicted again for similar crimes. With the same judge... Some people never change
He’s crying because he realizes just how far he has fallen and what he could have become. I wish you well and rooting for your success.

See Mr. Booth's family. Just Mom no Dad. That's the reason the nicest kid became a criminal - raised by a solo mom who probably kicked his nice Dad to the street.
@@PeopleHealthTruyoure probably right. Thats probably the worst thing that ever came out of the Civil Rights era. Western households got ruined. And people have lost their morals because of it
Wow LIFE KIDS ... stay on your LINE ☑
Still in Philippines?
Her words about him was stronger and more powerful than a hug who cares she spoke highly of him and in court she didn't act like she didn't know him speaks volumes of her character
I'm here because he got into trouble... again🤦
Yep 😐
and faced this same judge… again
What a let down
He seems like a good guy who just made bad decisions. I have a feeling he'll stay on a better path from here on out.
This makes me teary. You can see the impact her asking if they knew eachother had on him. I really believe he will try to turn his life around, all because of that question. If not will some people just can't change, but I think he will.
+Teela Louise HE GON' TURN HE LYF AROUND. GOIN' TA COLLEGE. WE WUZ KANGZ!
She gave my man that "AIIGHT NIGGA YOU TOO CLOSE" hug
+Niagara Fluke lol, exactly what I was thinking. I also was thinking maybe she was like "all these cameras on me, I can't be huggin this nigga to affectionately"
fr though😂😂
LMAO
+Niagara Fluke Haha!! I saw that too. Like, "Okay, now we're done."
+Niagara Fluke LOL!!!
this aged him very well
I noticed the hug as well. Honestly, she strikes me as someone who is a bit serious and maybe a little reserved by nature. She probably hugs everybody like that..lol Another thing...just because she knew this man in grade school doesn't mean he is the same person he was back then. He could have stalkerish tendencies or may get a little too close. So, she still needs to maintain a certain amount of boundaries considering the position she is in. I think she handled herself well. Honestly, I think it was great of her to even acknowledge him, because she didn't have to.
Wow... go back to teaching art. Keep your feelings in your 'work". Sincerely a non bigot artist.
Aye, agree. Not everyone a hugger.
She is just being professional, considering how a 'normal' hug could be perceived as a sign of giving preferential sentence to her classmate.
No. You make no sense at all
@@nicholassaville1933 ur a bit of a pylon eh
She had to hug him like that because of optics. She’s still a judge, and he broke the law. It would be a bad look
I felt the same way Joe.
It was protocols showing up.
Blake T well that’s not a judge that could’ve given you jail time. People could’ve perceived it as favoritism
Oh yeah, like the judge that hug Amber Guyer.
JoeJoeRunya word
Still a judge yea, but shes not in uniform... soooooo yea..🙄
The judge simply displayed a heart full of hope and humility. More of her in our society makes better lives for people that needs second chances
You could honestly see the happiness in his face when he recognised an old friend. His immediate instinct must have been to go hug her, ask her how she’s been, catch up on life. But he realised real quick the position he was in and that that wasn’t an option, hence the heartbreak.
Really hope this guy got good and turned his life around. Underneath whatever bad he’s done, there’s a good soul.
who cares about a hug she was there with his family to greet him when he got out
For the camera
@Tony Thompson 🙋🏿♂️ I care. Any more questions?
What is she walked up and they started doing the dougie and nae nae !!
I was initially feeling like she gave him a 'you're below me' hug, but after analyzing the video, I think it was just an awkward hug. He surprised her with the sudden motion to hug and by the time she committed, his arms were already already around her and she got stuck in an awkward position and tried to make the most of it. It's like when you motion to shake someone's hand and they grab your hand too low and shake your fingers but you just go with it any way.
A man is supposed to go low when hugging a woman but he went high. Her natural response was probably to go high but she was caught off guard when he didn't go low and she got stuck.
Kawalski Analysis
MannyXj1 exactly how hard was tht to see
Ahh the ol fingertip hand shake lol iv been known to "lets try that again" to get a good firm 1 in there lol
Very observant!
she's an angel,so humble and lovely towards his old friend, and even called him sir❤️❤️
Well, according to the good book, angels get you out of jail not put you in.
@@jackspade7234 she put in jail...
Bcoz of the drug cases and at that duration his drug addiction to be removed
@@jackspade7234 jail isn't necessarily a punishment. Jail time is only a punishment in developing countries. In the developed world jail is a form of rehabilitation too.
@@jackspade7234 Its her profession and prison can be rehabilitating too like the person above me said. Also i doubt Derson is refererring to literal angel from religions lol
Perfectly said!!!
Sadly there is no happy ending to this story. He's back to jail.
She is an honoured human being and right to be a judge,
judiciary needs such as people like her.
this is a great admiration.
Needed in India
@natty nate Haitian Zulu warrior spirit how do you know that ?
@natty nate Haitian Zulu warrior spirit What an idiot
needed in the PH
@@dterrence, may mga huwes sa bayan natin na gaya nya. Huwag ka mag-alala bro.
She really cared about him because she knew he have a good heart. This judge is full of love.
Being only classmates and for her to recognize him after all those years, I have to believe that he was a good kid.
I'm rooting for him to now be a good adult and to show the good that she and probably others saw in him. He looks different already for sure.
I don't think I could recognize any classmates from middle school.
I don't even think I could recognize anyone from college.
But that's probably because I didn't go to college.
@Shirl Zitting haha I know. I was just trying to be funny.
But like you said she probably recognized the name and then she asked him and based on his reaction she knew it was him.
And also based on that reaction, we know he recognized her too.
Because after she asked, that's when he really looked at her.
I hope he turned his life around.
He looked sincere to me.
And the the judge is cute you're right and I'm going to say she seems like a good human being too.
@@amadeomodigliani9732 she actually clearly said that "he was the nicest kid in school"
A judge helped changed my life around. She never gave up on me even when my probation officer tried to revok me for not paying my fines, she yelled at him and literally terminated my probation and removed all my fines I will always remember her. That made me change the way I lived, all she wanted was for me to work hard and live right.
God bless you and the judge .
This was beautiful. I love stories like this. Wish the news would show more of this so humanity could have less anxiety
That was such a crazy moment... At first he was just hyped when he recognised her, but a split second later, he realises the situation he's in and shame hits him super hard... I'm sure her kind words that day motivated him to re-become a good person and probably changed his life!
She have giving him so much support to show up at his release. Sometimes in life things happens to us. Where we need to get help from those to get us back on track.
Your the only intelligent karen
Dear KA: Everyone who watches this should be tearing up with moisture from eyes ready to touch their cheek; as we meditate with *meaningful* emotion: motivating and maneuvering this malfeasant mister into a much better mindset, as this is the guarantee of one less man going back to whence he came. His heart is growing out of his soul.
Yes this is so true. It's what we do with this opportunity is what matters
“DONT LET US DOWN” damn! She’s seeet but not afraid to be tough as well. Real authority- loving motivating but not willing to let people off the hook from being what the could be.
Alot of emotions went through that guy's mind. The joy of seeing a childhood friend, then realisation of the current situation, then the shame of seeing the difference between them. Finally the reminder of what he could have been and someone truly remembers him as a nice person. Really hope this guy can turn around and stay out of trouble
Exactly. I think it sort of scared/shocked him straight. And helped because she was kind.
That would be so embarrassing for him if he find her again in the court.
Wow
😆
Ian Lucas Santos César sure, why not? It might takes sometimes for him to get through all the schooling
It happens for a reason
Sure, that is the hard part, keeping clean
He wanted to disappear, crawl in a hole, he was so embarrassed, "the best kid in middle school"... a good wake-up call for him.
Bro, sometimes we need to be disgraced to buckle up.humans need problems to find solutions.
@@bolajiaiyegboyin3579 or sometimes just a reminder that one mistake can't take the best of you and you can still be a nice human being ma man.... There's always a second chance.
Yup
"I promise not to let you down"
Aged like milk
She's a cool judge and clearly a normal human being.
This is wonderful
Yes I like her already,
why do i feel like this is a snarky comment on her hugging skills? xD
@@dahasolomon7314 lol nah, it's just nice to see a judge, someone who's above the average person in a lot of ways, just be totally normal. It's just nice.
Shes a special woman not normal not all judges care like her I luv this judge and can tell she's a fantastic woman
Folks commenting like they expected her to French kiss the brother .. first she owes him nothing, a handshake would have sufficed .. secondly the comments show that most don't understand the etiquette between subordinate and authority relationships .. folks need to understand that there is a proper place and time to act like friends and a proper place and time to treat a friend in an Authority position with the respect that is due the position.
well said, would have not respected the judge if she hugged him like family.
Right Contact. No pun intended.
That French Kiss Thing made me burst outta laughter oh lord m still laughing 😂😂😂
Well said. I could not have said it better. She had to show she cared, while still while still letting him know where they stand.
@@L4INDIA it had me in stitches. Lmao
Wonder how he’s doing now! Does anyone know? He seems like a pure spirit who deserve a second chance and a happy life with his family ❤️
He became president of Brazil.
@@MoiYeager I love the internet for comments like this :D
Moi Salehi nah he is not evil like the president of Brazil or as ugly.
he got in jail again
@@iplaygames896 joke ran away from u
“everyones hoping next time they meet is in a classroom and not a court of law” this aged well LMAOO😂😂😂
As a jailer, I conducted headcounts of about 40 former classmates. I hope this guy really turns his life around👍
What is a jailer?
@@beronynelson9256I hope you're just joking lol
Why do you hope he is joking? I am legit wondering too. As in what specific part do you play as far as throwing/keeping people in jail, it's vague.
@@Remi_marie A jailer oversees all daily functions of a jail and housing of inmates. That includes conducting headcounts, random searches for contraband, serving meals, escorting inmates to visitation, escorting inmates outside for 1hr recreation, respond to fights, and ect. So basically a jailer does the same for a county jail, that a correctional officer does for a prison.
@@jamesross1798 Even I didn't know that the term for the governor in jail was "Jailer".
Thanks for the info!
For all you talking about the hug she gave him, she recognized him from middle school. You heard what she said" He was the nicest kid (in middle school).
She don't see him as a criminal
She sees him as a childhood friend who made a mistake. Luckily the judge was cool as hell to give him his life back.
Bless her🤗🤗🤗
He seems like a genuinely nice guy. Probably got in a bad situation and made a mistake. But he was obviously remorseful and seemed genuine!!
She’s professional yet empathetic. Great judge. Happy she was able to have a intense impact.
Forget the hug. He’d better put himself together and don’t let no one down.
Coz Moz i agree
You mean not let anyone down, “don’t let no one down” is a double negative meaning “let everyone down”
Angel Johnson “don’t let no one down” is a double negative meaning “let everyone down”
Herta Schneider It’s almost kind of sad how you pompously correct the grammar of other people in order to disguise your general inability to add something of substance to the conversation.
@@Cassxowary Ain't nobody care about no double negative.
why did she hugged him like a T-Rex tho 😂😂
+Chely Cruz omg thats so true.
lol
+Chely Cruz LMAO on Point assessment of that hug
I hate u lmao 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahaha.... Totally awkward Tyrannosaurus rex hug!!
Sometimes, just reminding a person of the good things you saw in them is enough to spark a turn-around if it is is genuine and said with compassion. Way to go.
That's so true
Andddd now he’s back in… sad. I hope he changes his ways someday in the future.
He’ll never change.
What a kind hearted judge. We need more judges like this.
a real, professional, kind hearted judge. the one who wants the best for people, who wants them to live happily and be lawful. i wish all who worked in the criminal justice system were like this.
Loved her!!
Friend zone hug
+Alpha lol that..
Lol that word friend zone but he has a wife so is a friend zone
No .the judge did care for that man but in front of the camera for the sake of the public who watch this she had to show that distance.
Alpha wouldn’t you, you know that nigga steal
Hahahahha
And he did it again
She was a reason for him to stay clean. Imagine if she pretended she doesn't know him.
Dude! And that’s the real mf spill!!
Yes some people would worry about being seen as unprofessional but this interaction was key to him turning everything around. I’m so glad she decided to speak to him on a human level
Bless her and bless him, I hope he is doing well.
I only came here for the hug comments lol
+dandaddavi Same, wasn't dissapointed at all! 😂😂😂😂
+dandaddavi Hahahaha me too hahaha
yup.
dandaddavi same
dandaddavi ME TOO 😂😂😂
Well this aged like milk. He was just arrested again for stealing jewelry from elderly people, and even got reunited with this judge in court. What a disappointment.
Worse than that. Robbing not stealing.
Heartfelt, this honestly brung tears to my eyes😥. He looks sincere, I wish homie the best.
Forget the awkward hug but recognize how far she traveled to see him smile greet him welcome him and share the happiness. Love from India.
I totally agree! Love from Canada
But why traveled so far for a hug like that... she should have stayed where she was at with that fake hug sorry
Whatever, Bukakke Gupta.
@@sirnandledavis2716 shut up
I have a soft spot for the judge like she's so kind and respectful. The one being sent to prison makes me cry, this happen for like 4 years ago I hope he's living his best life.
Who is here after he got caught again
me
Me
I love this. I am literally in tears. Good people fall into bad things some how. A little bit of love and tenderness goes a long way.
Well said....
That does happen. The thief on the right side of Jesus was that guy.
This is sweet and all but that was an awkward hug
+Rajeev Mathew - I'm just picking your comment out randomly. Adults that have been sexually assaulted/abused as children usually have issues with people "touching" them... even loved ones. This could be the back story with this hug.
she was there to give advice and could've asked barney if she wanted a hug instead
I never thought of that! Excellent point, chuenbake3, excellent point!
You know why he was crying in court? It's like he's ashamed of what he's become in front of his classmate. Also the memories they had together and sharing their dreams when they were kids to seeing each other as a judge and as a criminal.
That's deep
@@SpiritEdgeTM yet true
Yes i think we understood that sir

Awkward hug.
+rickonami awkward promise he made too lol.
awkward food we eat these days with gmos and such
Awkward moment #23, running into an old classmate via a sentencing hearing. And the former classmate is the judge!
Not awkward at all.
rickonami seems the judge dont like to hug a black guy what a plastik hug
I cried when I saw the first video of these two...I've had friends like this. You see talent in people and then something happens along the way in their journey through life. I hope he does do good for himself. XXXX
Also goes to show that the judge has a heart.
Hope he gets a job. Live peacefully after that.
To Gobi: I agree.
You again,Gobi Murugesan
@@stephencurry_goldenstatewa6430 what?
Man he smiles for a second there after he recognizes her and then immediately remembers the situation they're in and he just breaks down. This is really sad, I hope he's living a better life nowadays.
He is great now
Amazing story. I really hope this guy turns his life around.
I cried alongwith him. Imagine his regret,his thoughts,his embarrassment running through his mind during that time. I really hope he is a changed person. He looks like a good guy.
From now on, i will only hug people that way 😂
HENRY THE RC CAR but... whyyy???😂
I feel bad for the judge who went out of her way to help him become better, if you don't know he was just convicted again for similar crimes. With the same judge... Some people never change
