Judge Judy Has a 200-Pound Problem with This Pig

A 200-pound pot-bellied pig escapes its enclosure and wanders into a neighbor's fenced yard, where a prized show dog allegedly suffers an injury. But Judge Judy wants more than accusations before deciding who's responsible.

In this unusual Judge Judy case, the judge explains the legal standard of preponderance of the evidence and why civil cases don't require proof beyond a reasonable doubt. She also questions the pig owner's responsibility for maintaining a secure enclosure and preventing the animal from roaming onto neighboring property.
