The 92-year-old judge overseeing Maduro case is ‘old school’ and ‘doesn’t give a s***’ what people think

The criminal case against former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is set to come before a veteran U.S. federal judge known for his independence and unconventional courtroom style.

U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, 92, a Bill Clinton-era appointee based in Manhattan, oversaw Maduro’s arraignment on Monday and is expected to preside over any trial of the ousted leader.
