80-year-old judge becomes unlikely internet star

AUGUST 23, 2017 / 1:26 PM / AP

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- An 80-year-old judge is an unlikely viral video sensation, but somehow Municipal Court Judge Frank Caprio has been winning hearts and clicks on Facebook with a mix of compassion, humor and a rotating cast of the poor souls who have been ticketed in the city of Providence.

Videos featuring the kind-hearted judge have now reached hundreds of millions of views
