7月3日、アメリカ・フロリダ州の裁判所で、強盗容疑で逮捕された被告が突然、裁判官の目の前で号泣する珍事が起きた。ニューヨーク・デイリーニュースなどが報じた。
オレンジ色の囚人服を着たアーサー・ブース被告の顔を見て、ミンディー・グレーザー裁判官が「ちょと質問があります。あなたはノーチラス中学出身ですか？」と尋ねた。すると、ブース被告は「ああ、なんてこった！（Oh my goodness!）」と頭を抱えて号泣し出したのだ。
実は、ブース被告とグレーザー裁判官は中学校の同級生だった。この運命のいたずらに、グレーザー裁判官は「ここで会うとは残念です。いつも貴方がどうしているか気になっていました。人生がいい方向に向かうことを祈っています」と優しく声をかけたという。
