Rich Little Boy INSULTS Judge Caprio In Court – His Judgement is Absolute Justice!
Tristan Montgomery West entered my courtroom with the practiced nonchalance of a boy who believed the entire world was available for purchase. At sixteen, he was a walking billboard for excess: a two-thousand-dollar hoodie, limited edition sneakers, and a diamond-encrusted watch that seemed to mock the solemnity of the bench. He stood there, jaw working a piece of gum with rhythmic disrespect, one AirPod firmly planted in his ear as if my proceedings were merely background noise to his curated life of privilege.
This was a boy who had been raised in a vacuum of accountability. To Tristan, the law wasn’t a set of rules for a functioning society; it was a nuisance, an invoice to be paid by his grandfather’s billions.
The Architect of Chaos
The charges against Tristan were a terrifying catalog of recklessness. He hadn’t just sped; he had transformed the residential streets of Providence into a private racetrack for his father’s Lamborghini. For fifteen minutes, he led officers through neighborhoods where families were tucking their children into bed, ignoring red lights and sirens with the casual indifference of someone playing a video game.
The most damning evidence wasn’t the speed—it was the humanity he nearly extinguished. Dashboard camera footage captured a mother leaping out of the way with her stroller, her child’s life nearly ended by a boy who was too busy changing a playlist to notice the world around him. Then there was Mr. Harold Chen, a 73-year-old retired mathematics teacher. Mr. Chen didn’t have a Lamborghini; he had a cane and a daughter across the street. Tristan’s arrogance had sent this man to the hospital with a hip fractured in two places, yet Tristan’s only defense was that “old people are a hazard.”
The Collapse of Privilege
The hypocrisy in the room was suffocating. Tristan’s parents were absent—one in Tokyo, the other at a Swiss spa—sending a high-priced attorney to do the parenting they had clearly neglected. Tristan actually pulled out a Black American Express card during the hearing, waving it at me like a talisman that could ward off justice. “Everything has a price, old man,” he said.
He was wrong. Justice in this courtroom is not a transaction.
I watched as Tristan’s smirk finally evaporated under the weight of a sentence that his money couldn’t fix. I didn’t just fine him fifteen thousand dollars; I ordered that he pay it through his own employment. No more grandfather’s credit card. No more unearned wealth. He would learn the value of a dollar by sweating for it.
A Lesson in Empathy
The most significant part of his sentence wasn’t the revoked license or the manual labor at Roger Williams Park. It was the 150 hours I ordered him to serve in the Orthopedic Rehabilitation Wing of Rhode Island Hospital—the very place where Mr. Chen had to learn to walk again.
I wanted Tristan to see the bedpans. I wanted him to smell the antiseptic and the suffering. I wanted him to listen to the stories of people whose bodies were broken by the carelessness of others. I wanted him to understand that when he “hit a fence,” he was actually hitting a history and a community.
The End of Immunity
I ordered his parents to appear before me within seventy-two hours. It is a failure of parenting when a child believes their wealth grants them the right to treat an elderly man’s pain as an “annoyance.” If they won’t teach him respect, the state of Rhode Island will.
Tristan Montgomery West walked in thinking he was a king among peasants. He left in tears, finally realizing that in a court of law, a Supreme hoodie is just a piece of cloth and a billionaire’s grandson is just another defendant. Accountability is the only thing that can pierce the bubble of unlimited privilege, and today, that bubble finally popped.
