How would you like to see your legacy described?

I would like to be remembered for trying to work with individuals to help them avoid the life-killing environment of prisons and to save them for a life with relatives and friends, with a job, and with the opportunity to lead a lawful life. Partly by reducing sentences to the extent possible, partly by reducing supervised release and partly by getting them out into the real world. It’s on a one-to-one basis that I see myself operating — the judge to the individual defendant.

I’m convinced that we will come together. It’s essentially a good country made up of people who will fight for what’s right.

The judge was born the same year as my father. I have wondered what my dad would have said about the age of Trump. I think he would have been a lot more cynical than judge Weinstein. But I'll gladly take this viewpoint as a stand in.

Going for a master's degree at age 98! My hero!

I want to be judge Weinstein when I grow up.

I wonder the same thing about my father apparently born a year before yours. I really wish I could discuss things with him!

(Wondering, though, whether his cognitive status would have worn well over the years even if his body had held up. After all, his wife my mother, is not capable of conversation at almost 97. Or for that matter, even consistently remembering the names of her children and grandchildren.)
