TV Judge Frank Caprio Gets Candid With Cancer Diagnosis As He Tears Up In Emotional Video
While the legal system is often cruel and unjust, every once in a while, a story comes out of the courts that is bound to warm readers’ hearts. Whether it’s a friendly judge or an inspiring story of someone overcoming adversity, there have been dozens of uplifting cases in the past few years.
Many of those cases come from the show “Caught in Providence,” a nationally syndicated show where real people have their cases heard in front of Judge Frank Caprio in Providence, Rhode Island.
Caprio serves as the jurisdiction’s chief municipal judge. One of the things that he has become known for over the years that he has served on the bench is the high level of kindness that he has shown so many people who have become part of the legal system.
Caprio is even considered the “nicest judge in the world.” Heartwarming clips from the show regularly go viral, making people around the world and across the internet smile.
Born Francesco Caprio on Nov. 24, 1936, the television personality was born and raised in Providence. His parents were immigrants from Naples, Italy.
As a young kid, the famed TV judge studied at public schools within his city, and he balanced his education with work, as one of his first jobs was as a dishwasher and shoe-shiner.
Later in life, he joined the United States Army, became a teacher, and later pursued a legal profession.
In 2023, Caprio shocked the world and his fans with a heartbreaking announcement as he asked them for prayers. Read on below to find out what happened to the TV star.
