Judge Judy Says Prove It’s New

When a litigant tries to establish that items in a property dispute were newly purchased by showing photos, Judy shuts down the presentation. She doesn’t want to see the flooring — she wants paid bills and receipts proving what was actually bought.
In Judge Judy’s courtroom, if you claim it’s new, you’d better have the paperwork to prove it.
