Noteworthy events
Glazer meets former classmate in courtroom (2015, 2024)
In July 2015, Glazer had a notable encounter with a burglary suspect in her court. During Arthur Booth's bond hearing, Glazer asked him if he attended Nautilus Middle School. After recognizing his former classmate, Booth was visibly emotional. "He was the best kid in middle school, I used to play football with him, all the kids looked up to him. And look what has happened. I’m so sorry to see you there."[3]At the end of the video, Glazer wishes him luck and says she hopes he will get though this and "just lead a lawful life."[3]
In August 2024, Booth appeared in Glazer's court room again on similar burglary charges. Glazer said, “I want to say hi to Arthur. Wish it wasn’t like this...Hope things work out for you.” She recused herself from the case and it was heard by another judge.[4]
