(129,454 posts)Used to watch that too - basically the first of the syndicated "television court" shows.
Just clicked the link because I said to myself - He was "up there" in age back when he was on the show, he has to be in his 90s. Saw that he was 97! Wow.
R.I.P.

(6,839 posts)on his back after my father had received life-threatening shrapnel in his neck and lungs from a grenade explosion. Most of the other men scattered, but Judge Wapner went back alone and picked up my father and carried him on his back until he reached the camp.
So, I am sad that he has passed away, but he was my father's age, so he must have been in his 90s.
Rest in peace.
