COMPASSION IN THE COURT Life-Changing Stories from America's Nicest Judge

With a smooth voice and a steady pace, narrator Rob Reider introduces listeners to Judge Frank Caprio. Judge Caprio grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, and lived in the heart of the Italian section, called Federal Hill. Reider tells the judge's story--from his humble beginnings to his successful syndicated television program, "Caught in Providence." Reider captures the cadence of Caprio's voice and his slow, deliberate speech. He recounts story after story of the people who came to Caprio's court feeling scared and defeated, and left feeling that life was not so bad. Caprio listened to people intently, and Reider re-creates that intensity in dialogue from the courtroom. It is a compelling technique that shows Reider's skill and understanding of Caprio's concern for each person who stood before him. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
