In the courtroom, Judge Judy reveals indicators of dishonesty, similar to her TV show.
A well-known TV judge frequently detects when she's not receiving a truthful response.
"Judge Judy" Sheindlin is skilled at detecting lies not only in the courtroom but also outside of it.
In 25 years on "Judge Judy," Sheindlin frequently exposed plaintiffs or defendants in lies during uncomfortable monologues. For example, a young woman who claimed her license was suspended due to unpaid parking tickets on her mother's car and failed to appear in court, frequently uttered "ums" in her responses.
"The judge responded in a viral clip, saying, "That's a lie. You wouldn't lose your license if you had parking tickets on your mother's car.""
The judge shared a list of typical characteristics and behaviors she believes indicate dishonesty.
"When someone is lying to you, they won't look you directly in the eye, but instead, they will try to deflect because the truth is revealed through eye contact."
""Women tend to flush in the chest area when they're lying, as it's easy for them to do so. Men, on the other hand, may start to sweat and have a glistening appearance while looking from side-to-side," Sheindlin explained, pointing to the chest area."
Sheindlin indicated that men sweat right above their lips and on their forehead.
If something doesn't make sense, it's usually not true, she said.
"Abberrations are rare in life, and most things have a rhythm. If something doesn't make sense, it's probably not true. But if it looks and sounds like a duck, it's a duck."
Some of Sheindlin's cases on "Judge Judy" were straightforward, such as when a young man confessed to a crime and lost his case in just 26 seconds. In a popular 2015 clip, the plaintiff claimed that her wallet, including $50, gift cards, an earpiece, and a calculator, had been stolen. The defendant then interrupted to say, "There was no earpiece in there, ma'am."
Sheindlin laughed and quickly awarded the plaintiff $500, exclaiming, "I love it!"
"Judge Judy" aired for 25 years before Sheindlin stepped down in 2021. She is now presiding over cases on "Judy Justice," which is currently in its third season and will return with new episodes on Amazon Freevee and Prime Video later this summer.
"Tribunal Justice" is a show created and executive produced by Sheindlin, and its second season is expected to stream on Amazon Freevee, though a release date hasn't been announced yet.
"Judy Justice" is "more fun" than "Judge Judy" because it incorporates elements of what Sheindlin had in family court, such as a clerk and a stenographer.
"The problems are the same, but the amount of award has increased from $5,000 to $10,000, making the quality of cases different and sometimes more important. Despite this, I'm still having a good time."
