Judge Calls 18-Year-Old a ‘B****.’ But She’s Only Trying to Help… [View all]

BY CONOR SWANBERG

Judge Christina Argyres gave one 18-year-old first offender the scare of his life during his trial in a New Mexican court.

Isaiah Gay was being charged for burglarizing homes with some friends. He offered this excuse to Judge Argyres:

“I did the things I did all because I was impulsive…I was just being young and dumb.”

But she wasn’t having it. She told Gay exactly what would happen to him if she sentenced him to the maximum 15 years in prison:

“Do you know what would happen…to a young a dumb person in prison? Do you have any idea what would happen to you? You would probably be raped every day, for one. And I hate to sound like that, you know – rude, but that’s exactly what would happen to you.”

Judge Argyres then addressed the state, explaining that it would not be right to put the young man in prison just yet, especially since he was a first time offender:

“Again, he’s going to be somebody’s – I hate to use the word ‘bitch,’ but that’s exactly what he’s going to be…so I am willing to put him on probation.”

She let Gay off with five years of probation, and a warning about his future should he mess up again
