JUDY BAILIFF BACK IN COURT
TOUGH-TALKING Judith Sheindlin’s longtime sidekick Petri Hawkins Byrd has landed a new TV gig on Freevee’s Tribunal.
The fan favorite served on the daytime hit Judge Judy for 25 years. But Byrd’s feathers got ruffled when his old boss didn’t invite him to make the move to Judy Justice!
“She didn’t ask me,” he griped last year. Byrd, 64, has since been tapped to be bailiff on the Sheindlin-produced Tribunal, which will feature Hot Bench alums Patricia DiMango and Tanya Acker.
