[@waddellcarissa]

I felt that 🥺🥺🥺😭😭

[@keanancupido]

​@@BriBunny380Same here, my heart couldn't take it 🥺

[@jennifer_mertens]

The way that poor boy whispered, "the dog". He's the first dog bite victim(on the show) that I feel really had emotional damage from the incident. It sounds like the 2 dogs were squaring off and he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Plus, it bit his face---that would terrify an adult, let alone a child.

[@qendresashillova]

The little boy was telling the truth especially for judge Judy. So smart and sweet kid.

[@TheGreekPianist]

Poor kid. Judge Judy was very sweet and compassionate towards him. I loved “If I told you the judge is a young, beautiful woman, would that be the truth or a lie?” 🧐 “The truth!” 😅👏🏼❤

[@XoXo111]

You could hear her struggle to moderate her tone so that it was soft towards the boy.

[@apoliticallevi]

He understood the assignment 😂😂

[@zkarebear]

I tell you what, as little patience as Judge Judy has for adults she is an absolute angel to children.

[@kaykay3772]

Judge Judy: "If I were to tell you that the judge was a young beautiful lady, would that be the truth of a lie?" Adam: The Truth. That little boy instantly won my heart. ❤😊

[@iykeharrison9161]

Or he is a smooth player in the making 😂😂

[@gspendlove]

She asked the same question to a little girl in a case where a daycare provider allegedly spanked the little girl's brother. The little girl answered "A lie!" The whole courtroom broke up for about a minute. JJ asked the little girl why it was a lie. The little girl said, "Because you are big!" "But am I beautiful?" The girl nodded and the judge whisper-shouted "Yesssss!"

[@marthal8862]

It’s so funny, she got angrier and angrier as the years went by 😭🤣🤣

[@KhalidJnbaptiste]

I agree with her because alot of these people who come to court are idiots.. sometimes even I get frustrated with them😅

[@MuzzikLvr]

An angry Judge Judy is good for ratings.

[@abbiereynolds8016]

People have become stupider and stupider😅

[@jay-day]

But keep in mind she had to be nicer when talking to a shy little boy who was traumatized.

[@bigrivtodagled8210]

At one point it just unbearable at all the idlots she has to deal with, patience wears thin😂

[@lindaandres5810]

Judge Judy aged like fine wine 👌

[@_PAIGE94]

I love smart children lol; So sad he was traumatized

[@peacefreedom4930]

This should have gone to a higher court for personal injury. He was clearly traumatized

[@DeanDon333]

Her voice??? Omg ive never seen original JJ

[@LisaNix2]

I think she must have been smoking back then- her voice was very different.

[@justinm6582]

@@LisaNix2smoking? It sounds like she inhales helium after every case

[@litledevel15]

@@LisaNix2I don’t think so , if she was a smoker, she wouldn’t be able to yell the way she has been.

[@Idiot731]

@@litledevel15She was a smoker, a very heavy smoker, or at least that’s how Samuel L. Jackson tells it. They became friends, she quit smoking and then got Sam to go to the same doctor or place she went to get him to stop. Something involving Sodium Pentothal. He talked about that in an interview he did, I’m sure it’s on KZbin.

[@codamedia]

Almost teared up listening to the kid relive that moment

1:58 I love JJ's interaction with the smart kid Adam!! 👏🏼🤣 Adam should be about 35 years old now 😂 2:31 must have been very traumatic for Adam, poor kid 😮‍💨😥 I admire how gentle and compassionate JJ was with him.

[@destinygatez7068]

He is so precious.

[@anthonyguarino4242]

Adam if you’re watching this, you were very smart knowing the difference between the truth or a lie. Byrd wasn’t a fat bold guy, he’s just being handsome back then. I’m sorry that you got bit by Scoot the dog and you’re very brave to come talk to JJ back in 1996!

[@LBergin84]

He used to play MLB.

What a treat this is! I was 19.. aww, I wish I could go back to that time.

[@tomround8271]

15 in UK and we had just had the groundbreaking addition of a 5th TV channel. I'd never even heard of judge Judith.

[@Wayniesgirl]

I think his feelings were hurt by the attack too. Not understanding why the dog suddenly didn't like him. Poor kid. I'm sure by now he understands more about instincts and that it wasn't personal. VERY SWEET young man

[@jarednil69]

It's amazing that BIRD hasn't changed in 30 years except for his jewelry and glasses!!😂😂😂

[@theKevronHarris]

I was 2 years old in 1996. Can't believe that I'm crying 😢 while watching this retro case of Judge Judy because it brings back some memories!!!

[@frigid4real]

This is really really old! 😂😂😂😂 Your dog bit that boy, you're responsible! Mom had to assume responsibility at the hospital, that doesn't mean the defendant isn't responsible for the damages and the overall bills.

[@ani8256]

I was 9 years old when this aired. Never found this show interesting until adulthood😊

[@ManorHQ]

Could be wrong but I think this little boy grew up to be a major league baseball pitcher who played for teams like the Detroit Tigers and New York Mets.

[@LisaNix2]

Same name and age- I wonder too if it’s him!!!😄

[@ManorHQ]

@@LisaNix2 There's an article where he talks about his mother Deborah coming to the games for the first time. He would have been 8 years old at the time of this episode. Pretty sure it's him.

[@jalamangjobe6693]

He is a clever boy I like the way he respond to judge judy that she is young and beautiful

[@kiauni6818]

The flashbacks he was having trying to tell her definitely says hows traumatized he was. & he absolutely was telling the truth. The way he whispered "the dog" and struggled getting the rest out tells, hes telling the truth and that his chest and heart is being stabbed with sharp needles and fear remembering it. I got bit by a german shepard when I was 6 y/o in the face nd have a scar. It was my fault but I was a child and didnt know not to tease them with their own toy. Im 26 now and have only met one german shepard that I wasnt scared of or acted vicious. Ive been scared of dogs ever since.
