The “world’s nicest judge” Frank Caprio, who won over social media with his kindness, has died at the age of 88 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Caprio was known for his reality court TV show “Caught in Providence,” where he heard cases ranging from traffic violations to criminal offenses. The show, set in the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, gained traction on social media in recent years with fans gushing over Caprio’s compassion in the courtroom.
A statement posted on his Instagram account late Wednesday afternoon informed fans that the judge had “passed away peacefully at the age of 88 after a long and courageous battle with pancreatic cancer”.
