But the latest development — when a Suffolk County jury last week unanimously awarded him $6 million in damages in his civil lawsuit against Knouse, while dismissing her claims of retaliation and harassment against him — are scenes he describes in vivid detail. How the light went off on the court officer’s desk, indicating the jury had reached a verdict. How the clerk passed the envelope with their decision to the judge, and then back to the foreperson who read each count aloud. How he did not react to the announcement of damages awarded to him, but grabbed his brother’s hand as all of Knouse’s counts were dismissed. “I don’t know if I still believe it, to be honest with you,” he said in a phone interview Sunday. Knouse, contacted through her lawyer, Ellen Zucker, declined to comment. She will appeal the ruling, Zucker said. The last five years, as Sabatini fell from a prominent biologist who generated Nobel Prize buzz to an outsider who schools refused to work with, were “the hardest years of my life,” he said.

Judge Judy explains why she’s retiring after 30 years in a TV courtroom: ‘It’s time’ - Los Angeles Times
Staff Writer Sept. 16, 2026 2:10 PM PT It appears Judge Judy has kicked off her retirement tour. “Judy Justice” star Judy Sheindlin appeared with her son Adam Levy on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday to celebrate her 30th anniversary on TV, and to the hosts’ dismay, she confirmed she was “retiring from [the] in-front-of-the-camera TV bench.” When asked why she felt now was the right time for her to conclude that chapter of her career, Sheindlin replied that there were a couple of factors. “First of all, he was ready,” Sheindlin said, nodding toward Levy. Levy’s syndicated courtroom TV show, “Adam’s Law,” which Sheindlin created and executive produces, premiered Monday. “I’ve aged pretty well over the years,” she continued. “Reasonably. I look better than my grandmother did at my age, which didn’t take a lot. But it’s time for me to. I’m still going to be creative.... I’m just going to take the message and put it in a little bit of a different form.
