Heard on The Judges: sE "there" > BE "it"

[Wilson Gray]

Cuban-American Judge Milian:

"_There was_ a problem the second time, too?"

Thirty-ish, black, male speaker:

"_It was_, ma'am."


-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
