Kathleen's claim to fame is that she shot Judge Judy. She's a photographer and a couple came into her studio. She thought they were average Jewish grandparents who wanted her to photograph their family at Thanksgiving. They gave her directions and 15 minutes before she left for the assignment the name sounded familiar so she Googled it and it was Judge Judy and her husband who is also a TV judge. Judge Judy is not someone you want to get a customer complaint from. Kathleen's husband doesn't know she's on the show. She didn't tell him for two reasons. First, she'd like to surprise him and he teaches 3rd grade and she didn't want him to have to take the day off. Plus she felt that if he was in the seat behind her, staring at the back of her head and knowing the answers she didn't, she'd be even more nervous.
