Judge Judy says she doubts courtroom stories and looks for signs of lying

People

After 30 years on courtroom TV, Judith Sheindlin says she begins by assuming people’s accounts are usually untrue and checks whether details make sense. She told W Magazine that liars often avoid eye contact and claimed men and women show different physical signs.

She said women who lie show redness in the chest; men, she claimed, develop sweat along the upper lip and begin twitching.

On Sept. 16, Sheindlin confirmed she will retire from on-camera work after Judy Justice ends in October, though she said she will remain creative. She also said her son Adam Levy is ready to follow her; he stars in Adam’s Law, a syndicated court show she produces.
