During his career at Rutgers, he was given the nickname "The Judge" - after Lance Ito, who presided over O.J. Simpson trial - by fans for his clutch, game-deciding kicking performances.
In 1992, he presided over Charles H. Keating Jr.'s trial in the savings and loan scandal; Keating's 10-year sentence was later overturned on appeal because Ito had neglected to instruct the jury to determine whether Keating intended to defraud investors.
During the O. J. Simpson trial, Savage was called to the witness stand to reveal her confidential sources, and was threatened with jail time by Judge Ito.
