Judge Frank Caprio, remembered worldwide as “the kindest judge in the world,” has died at 88. He rose to fame through his television series Caught in Providence, which showcased his handling of everyday cases — parking tickets, traffic violations — with warmth, wit, and compassion. What made Caprio beloved was not the cases, but the humanity he brought to them. He listened, he cared, and he often forgave, reducing or waiving fines for those in need. Clips of his empathy went viral, touching millions across the globe. More than a judge, he became a symbol of justice tempered by kindness.
