Hot Bench

It realY BOTHERS Judge Corriero wnthen an achild is suing aparent. He believes that it is wron to sue a parent or grandparent . He should leave the show because he doesnt think parents can be at fault. His concern is old fashioned Italian family structure.

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

First of all, no, I have never been on this show. I love the idea of 3 judges and being able to see their discussion. The problem that I have with this show is Judge Corriero.....he will ALWAYS side with the female, ESPECIALLY if it is a single mom, he sides with anyone who brings in a child, he is so touchy, feely, sing Koombyya that it just turns me off. He needs to get a little tougher...the only time I saw him raise his voice was at a man who he felt took advantage of a female....without letting the guy give his side of the story. He needs to go...on the opposite end, the two female judges have more moxy than Corriero...they see right through the liars where Corriero does not.

My take on the objectivity of judges (I know it's only TeeVee judging):

Judge Dimango seems to be the most objective / least biased, although she has her moments.

Judge Acker makes an effort to be objective, and sometimes she surprises me with insight, but may be a bit more biased in some areas than Dimango.

Judge Corriero is more interested in showing that he is a really swell guy and a self-appointed moral giant than in following any laws / making an unbiased decision / being fair to people. His statements are full of "virtue-signaling". A man versus a woman will only be able to get any traction if his evidence and behavior and legal basis are absolutely impeccable. Corriero will try to find any weakness in the man and then lecture him.

Regardless of the case facts, Judge Corriere favors the women over men, and if the plaintiff and defendant are both women, then if it's a black woman over white, the white woman will lose. Try my theory and see. Then Judge Acker is all about race, and usually favors the black However, she is very good about getting to the basics about the case. Acker&Demango both are good at what they do. Judge Demango, I view as the centrist in this trio and has her head on straight. She follows case law regardless of gender or race. Which is the way a judge should handle their cases. She represents the show very well. Hats off to her.
