Case closed: “Judge Judy” Sheindlin has sealed the deal on a new home, landing a Newport, Rhode Island, mansion on Monday for $9 million. The previous owner was Dorrance Hamilton, the heiress to the Campbell Soup fortune and a philanthropist ...

The massive, 9,719-square-foot property is situated near the Atlantic coast, and its two-story entrance hall and living room has a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with coastal views. Additionally, many of its rooms offer either panoramic coastline views or views of rock outcroppings and gardens. The home also has custom windows and doors, an elevator and radiant heated floors.

“Sited atop one of the highest points in Newport, (the house) is state-of-the-art in every aspect with exquisitely crafted details, top-of-the-line amenities, and exquisite landscaping,” notes the news release.

Sheindlin, 75, is known for her courtroom television show “Judge Judy,” which has endured 22 seasons and amasses millions of viewers a day. A staple in syndication, Judge Judy is a household name, known for her harsh personality and direct manner in handing out verdicts. Sheindlin, whose net worth is estimated at $400 million, has won three Emmy Awards.

2. I really can't stand Judge Judy

I like "The People's Court" with Judge Marilyn Milian.

Except when she has a hissy fit if anyone refers to her as ma'am.

She tells them it's the same as calling a male judge 'buddy'.
I think it would compare to calling a male judge 'sir'.

3. I often find that lady tiresome.

She goes into screaming fits of moral outrage, which gets on my nerves. She is supposedly presiding over a court of law, but dives into an impersonation of Dr. Phil at the drop of a hat.

She also maintains no courtroom discipline, allowing her litigants to turn the show into something resembling Jerry Springer.

I record her show so that I can fast forward through the Dr. Phil and Jerry Springer portions.

4. J.J. usually does not accept police reports

Most or all of the other TV court shows ask for and accept a 'police report'.

J.J. often laughs at and redicules the people appearing before her.
I guess some folks like the carnival atmosphere.
