Judge Joe Brown
Judge Joe Brown
Brown is best known as the presiding judge on the syndicated TV courtroom show Judge Joe Brown. But, while serving on the bench in Memphis, TN, his proclivity for creative alternative sentencing put him on the national radar. His visibility increased when he was assigned to the case of James Earl Ray, convicted killer of the late Martin Luther King, Jr. Judge Brown often spends his weekends in Memphis, following up on cases, and helping young people avoid activities that could get them into trouble.
