New Delhi: 87-year-old Judge Frank Caprio—renowned for his sensitivity and compassion in the courtroom broke down in a recent heartbreaking video.

While he undergoes treatment, he has requested his supporters to keep him in their prayers. He said, "One thing that people ask me is, 'What can I do for you?' First of all, I can't thank all of you enough for your friendship and your kind messages. But I would ask each of you, in your own way, to please pray for me. I am in need of the power of prayer, which I believe, in addition to the medical treatment that I'm receiving, is the most powerful weapon to help me survive this."
