"You weren't in that contest by the pool now, were you?" claims Glazer.

"Yeah, yeah i was," replies Glenn shaking his head.

Awkwardly enough Glenn was still denied bail after their friendly encounter.


Just three weeks before this encounter there was another jaw-dropping moment in court with the same judge, this time ending in tears.

Burglary suspect Arthur Booth broke down after Glazer recognises him as a friend from middle school from 36 years ago.

The 49-year-old suspect was overwhelmed with emotion and could only sob after she recognised him.
