The Judge in mid-2013

In February 2012, at 93, the Count of Schatzhoven officially became the nation's oldest living Judge. In April 2012, he is reported to have suffered a minor stroke which left him partially paralyzed and his speech incoherent. It is suspected he might also be suffering from dementia, but this has not been confirmed by the family.

2013[]

The Judge is, according to his son Drake, "very frail" and unable to perform his duties as a judge anymore. Therefore the Count stepped officially down from the position in February 2013. It had been well over a year since he last served as a judge in any trial. His habit of falling asleep during trials was likely a reason for his decision to ultimately step down.

On June 9, 2013, he suffered a minor stroke that left him partially paralyzed and largely unable to speak.
