For nearly a decade, “Eagles Court” was a real, legitimate courtroom.
The face of Eagles Court was Judge Seamus Patrick McCaffery, a then-47-year-old Irish immigrant who had enlisted in the Marine Corps, worked for 20 years as a Philly cop and then got his law degree at night school. He rode a motorcycle with the license plate “JUDGE.
"There will be serious and fast results,” he boasted. “Fines will be high and if you can't pay, then you'll go to jail.” Judge James DeLeon presides over court at Veterans Stadium during a game between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles in Dec. 1997.During the inaugural day of Eagles Court, only a few people were hauled in front of McCaffery. One had been arrested the moment he stepped into Veterans Stadium with an open bottle of booze. He was polite and, the Associated Press reported, slurred, “I thank you for your time” to McCaffery before stumbling out of the courtroom.
