Judge David Young Judge Young is known for his sharp sense of humor, occasional bursts into song from the bench, and his provocative sentencing. While on the bench in Miami, he once dropped an opera singer's disorderly conduct charges in exchange for a virtuoso courtroom performance. In another case, he decided it was appropriate to jail an 87-year-old woman for 31 years -- the same number of years she had spent on the lam prior to her arrest for murder. Young captured the nation's attention during a high-profile case in May, 2005, when he sentenced two America West airline pilots to jail for attempting to operate a plane while intoxicated. His strong sense of personal responsibility is coupled with a real concern for people. In Miami he was a strong advocate for a unique probation monitoring program, under which he met monthly with individuals with addiction problems. His dedication to fair justice has resulted in being honored with the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Award of Distinction on three separate occasions.
