RADAR ALERT: Judge Judy Tells False Accuser: "You Didn't Play Fair!"

Submitted by Matt on Mon, 2009-05-11 16:11

The Honorable Judith Sheindlin has made it clear that the no-nonsense judge will not tolerate the manipulation of the judicial system by litigants who try to use restraining orders and false allegations of domestic violence to their advantage.

During the April 30, 2009 episode of Judge Judy, Her Honor told her audience of 10 million people that the female defendant was not about to "put one over" on her. "That's how well I know your game," she told the defendant. "... you may get over on a judge tomorrow, but you're not getting over on me today ... I am going to tell you what you did wrong ... you didn't play fair!"

This episode can be viewed at YouTube: Part 1 and part 2.

Judge Judy is viewed by 10 million people daily. That is a quick and efficient way to spread the word to the masses that the this type of abuse should not and will not be tolerated.

Contact the producers of Judge Judy and let them know how important cases such as the one above really are by going to http://www.judgejudy.com/your_opinions.php.

Then contact your local legislator and let them know that even Judge Judy and her audience of 10 million people are aware that false allegations of domestic violence and the overt abuse of restraining orders are "not fair."

As always, please remember to be polite.

... Judge Judy has along history of beating the hell out of male litigants and overtly applying sexist 2x-standards in her judgments. Joe Brown does this too but he's not the subject of this alert.

This particular incident is a good sign in that it happened and indeed she should be encouraged in her behavior of expecting (gasp!) there to be evidence when someone makes as severe an accusation as this. However getting too enamored of her isn't warranted. I have seen episodes of her show where her misandry is so acute it is truly worthy of keeping a 30-gallon trash can nearby for barfing purposes.

I haven't watched that much Judge Judy, and I'm sure there are plenty of examples of what you describe, but I will say, purely based on what I myself have seen, she seems to do a pretty fair job of calling out people's bullshit all around.
