Hot Bench (2014)
Interesting dynamics
I enjoy watching Hot Bench, but I do find it sometimes irritating. I thought Judges are not suppose to make judgment calls or assumptions while deciding the outcome of the court cases. Judge Acker, and Judge DiMango are very loud and opinionated. They constantly comment on what they believe really happened with no real evidence indicating what they're saying. Both, mainly Judge DiMango, is constantly very loud and raises her voice when she speaks to the defendants and plaintiffs. It's like she's scolding them. She also takes over in the deliberation room and talks over Judge Corriero most times. Judge Corriero has a lot to offer but both Judge DiMango and Judge Acker don't give him the opportunity to speak. Both Judge DiMango and Judge Acker converse looking at one another and leave Judge Corriero out of the discussion, like they don't care what he thinks because they only care what they think. Judge DiMango acts like it's her show and not a collaborative effort between all three Judges. I realize it's a show and they need to spice it up for the audience, but please don't call people liars and say what you think really happened, as you weren't there and that is not what judges should be doing. Sometimes I Associate Judge DiMango And Judge Acker like aggressive bullies.
Some of you think Judge Corriero is meek, mild, with some more aggressive moments. I think he doesn't know what to do. He seems to frequently get cut off and left out most times by the other two Judges. There has to be someone out of the three that show concern and compassion. One things for sure, Judge DiMango and Judge Acker are not ones to show any concern or compassion. They definitely think they are the show. Sometimes I think they are both fighting for Judge Judy's position for when she retires. Wouldn't it be funny if Judge Corriero is given the honours! LOL
