I think it is a joke. I would never take a case to thewe threej fool judges their decisions are based upon theier own ideas and what they feel nothing based on law. Just saw a case where they allowed a plaintiff to hit a defendant in the eye and he admitted it so they said it was all right and they allowed him to break in a house based on a perception of what he thought he heard not based on fact so asault and battery is approved an breaking and entrky is okay. Since judge judy isan executive producer i can understand the incompittance of the judges the male judge does nothing because the 2 female judges constantly override him. I will not watch this show again becausej their judgements are never based on law but based on incompittance.
