DuPage Judge Brian Telander asked prosecutors to try to locate the items but told Pollara that he didn't agree with his legal assessment of the situation.

"I missed my Froggy..."
Twang your magic twanger Froggy!
I thought that when you went to prison, normally the guards take away all your personal Froggy Toys and box them up to return to you when your sentence has been served.
Beat me to it.
“Taggart!!!”
“Oh, sorry, Mr. Lamar.”
I cannot imagine where you are in the prison pecking order if you have a plush Mr. Froggy.
