The elderly man went on to explain the situation to the judge.
“I take him for blood work every two weeks because he’s got cancer,” Mr. Coella continued.
Judge Frank Caprio was overwhelmed by the kindness of this fatherly gesture. Despite his age, he still cares for his son who is in need.
Judge Caprio laughed a bit, considering the expectations for himself as a father. He pointed toward his own son, who was sitting in the room, and joked about his kid getting high hopes.
At the end of the clip, Judge Frank Caprio dismissed all charges against Mr. Coella. He also shared a few inspirational words.
“You are a good man. You really are what America is all about. Here you are in your nineties and you’re still taking care of your family. It’s just a wonderful thing for you. Good luck to you and God bless you.”
