Trial attorney Daniel Mentzer will join Yodit Tewolde and Rachel Juarez on the panel of judges for Hot Bench in its upcoming 12th season this fall.

Shooting on Season 12 began this week in Hot Bench ‘s new location, Stamford Studios in Connecticut, where the show moved from Los Angeles due to lucrative local tax credits. Gina Findley, a former NYPD Detective in the Chaplains Unit who retired last year after decades on the force, has joined as the new Bailiff.
