Meh. And far too small & cramped in there for my liking.

Many judges do this. Most of them don't use our tax dollars to produce their TV shows

I didn’t say he wasn’t. Strange this sub isn’t concerned with what’s presented in this article though

He was an excellent person and judge before he was ever on tv.
He has helped a lot of people over the years.

Anyone I’ve meet who went there, always wants to remind you they went there.

I think this is a fair criticism. 👍

I guess I disagree. A man and his family were able to personally profit for years off of a television show made in a Providence courtroom when the city, with its failing school system, didn’t make a dime.

The fact that this comment is getting downvoted is the most pathetically Rhode Island thing. We’re okay with grifters here!

He’s one of the reasons I’m (kind of) proud to live in Rhode Island. What a great guy!

The loophole being exploited is he doesn’t get a salary from the show but his immediate family does.
All told, it’s probably not worth mustering too much outrage over, but every time people canonize the guy, I get a headache from how hard I roll my eyes in response

I agree. But Judge Caprio is on the bottom of the totem pole compared to the revolving door of speaker -> lobbyist that we see at the State House.

His brother made at least $100k per year on the show, the show aired on prime time on a legal network and the YouTube channel has over 2mil subs. Someone is making a profit
Now we know that this is an incredibly profitable business, and likely many members of the Caprio family are profiting from the TV show. "
"If I were the City of Providence, I would ask myself why this family has [potentially] been able to make millions and millions of dollars using city facilities and a city office, and the City of Providence hasn't received a dime." (City Council spokesman Parker Gavigan confirmed that the city receives no revenue from "Caught in Providence," according to the city finance department.)

It ended a year or so ago and he and his family personally profited off of the show.
If he made judgements, either harsher or more lenient because he thought it could make good tv, on a show he profited on I would say we should have a major issue with it.

Yea, the prices were a bit high, especially considering it’s in a rather barren/industrial location. Sides were excellent but I actually preferred the Nashville hot bao appetizer to my main entree

So public access from 20 years ago going viral was his fault?
YouTube wasn’t even a thing back then. Caught in Providence predates YouTube by 5 years.
And he didn’t get a tv deal on ABC6 until a few years ago and more acclaim after that.
It was on public access for 15 years. But sure, he profited off free tv for those 15

Public officials shouldn’t be entitled to personally profit from their office just because they help others…
