I really enjoyed "Hot Bench" when first aired. However the judges have gone from talking with Defendants and Plaintiffs to talking at them. Heck, Judge D'Mango actually answers her own questions. She testifies for the Plaintiffs/Defenants. Judge Acker wasn't initially like that but has since followed Judge D'mangos example.
Judge Corriero seemed to always talk WITH the plaintiffs/defendants and not at them.
Hopefully he continues following his own heart and conscience!!!
Kudos to Judge Corriero!!!
