이 일은 2015년 6월 경 미국에서 실제로 있었던 일입니다.

어느 날 한 법정에서 49세의 남자 범죄자가 들어옵니다. 이름은 부스이며

절도죄로 잡혀왔습니다. 판사의 이름은 민디 글레이저입니다.

판사가 죄를 묻던 중 질문을 하나 합니다.

중학교 때는 정말 착했다는 판사님의 증언이 이어지며 믿을 수 없다는 반응을 보이자 부스는 울며 절규합니다.

그는 판사와 마찬가지로 중학교 재학시절 공부를 아주 잘하였고 스포츠도 잘하였으며 착하고 친절한 아이였지만,

이후 나쁜 친구들과 어울리며 점점 타락했다고 알려졌습니다.

+ 근황

(August 28, 2022) Miami, Florida - Remember the judge who recognised the defendant as her classmate from middle school? After the first bittersweet reunion, this not-so-viral second reunion melts hearts equally much, if not more. Years ago, we all had seen this video somewhere on the Internet where two middle school buddies meet after decades in a courtroom. That was not the kind of reunion anyone of us would hope for. Nevertheless, that incident changed the life of the verdict completely. Let’s go back a little and start from the start. This video got hundreds of millions of combined views on YouTube only, forget other platforms. This courtroom camera records an interesting incident where Judge Mindy Glazer was going through her usual job but suddenly spots one verdict who happens to be her classmate in middle school. If you watched the video, you know how ignorant Arthur Booth (the defendant) was acting in the beginning, like he had no regrets for what he did. What happened after that, I think all of us know. Booth burst into tears so bad and each word that was coming out of his middle school classmate’s mouth was like the realisation of all the years he had wasted and the people he had let down. “This was the nicest kid in middle school. I used to play football with him… and look what has happened,” she said in the video while Booth was submerged in regret and broke down in tears. This is the story we all have heard. Many of us have cried watching the video too, I’m sure. Not a Disney ending, right? But this one, fortunately, has one. After spending 10 months in jail, Booth was released early as a part of a court program. But was it different from his past where he was continuously making rounds of court and jail for charges of burglary, grand theft, fleeing the cops and resisting arrest among more? Turns out it was. It was different this time. Growing Booth was the brightest kid in one of the best schools in Miami. But soon he fell for all the vicious addictions including gambling and drug addictions that consumed his bright future and ambitious dreams. He wanted to become a neurosurgeon. He went to prison several times. And this time could have been no different and things would have remained the same if not for Mindy. After serving 10 months in jail, when Booth was released, he told CBS Miami: “She’s an inspiration and motivation to me. Mindy is incredible.” The second reunion was far more emotional than the first one. Turns out Arthur had changed a lot in those 10 months. He read books and became interested in business. He decided to start all over again. Though he had lost his dream of becoming a surgeon, he didn’t want to live in the regret of his past. On the day of the release, Mindy was also present along with Arthur’s family and cheered him up and wished him a bright future. Arthur promised he would never end up in prison again and would give up gambling and drugs forever. He kept his word. It’s been more than 6 years and life has taken a complete U-turn for Arthur. He’s in a far better condition. He is now a manager of a pharmaceutical company and is living a lawful life, as he’d promised to his former classmate. “Take care of your family. Try to get a job. Stay clean. You are going to do something good for somebody else,” Mindy told Arthur after he was released. To which Arthur repled: “You better believe it. You better believe it.”

6년이 넘었고 Arthur의 삶은 완전히 유턴했습니다. 그는 훨씬 더 나은 상태에 있습니다.
그는 현재 제약회사의 중간 관리자로 근무중이며, 예전 동창에게 약속했던 대로 합법적인 삶을 살고 있다. “가족을 잘 돌보세요.
직업을 얻으려고 노력하십시오. 깨끗하게 유지하세요.
당신은 다른 사람을 위해 좋은 일을 하게 될 거예요.” Mindy는 석방된 후 Arthur에게 말했습니다.
이에 Arthur는 이렇게 대답했습니다. “믿는 것이 좋습니다. 믿으시는 게 좋을 것 같아요.”
