I was raised in the streets, arrested several times as a kid, but I didn't give up. I went from jail to judge in 15 years. Thats when I started to make a difference. Giving back to public service, I believed in myself and I believe in every single person who comes into this courtroom. I know people and change, obsticles can be overcomming and great success can be achieved because in my court room it happens every night.
