Who is Petri Hawkins-Byrd?

Petri Hawkins-Byrd is an American television personality, known for his role as bailiff on the court program Judge Judy. To date, Byrd has been with the show for its entire run, making him the longest running court show bailiff in history. His main role on the show consists of: introducing cases, delivering materials between the judge and the litigants, dismissing the parties and escorting them out once the case is over. On several occasions, Byrd has had to play a larger role by controlling altercations or preventing potential altercations between the plaintiff and the defendant. Despite his limited speaking role and commenting only when addressed by Sheindlin for the most part, Byrd is often seen supplying surly and lackadaisical nonverbal expressions or exclamations. Knowledgeable, worldly-wise, and sophisticated, Byrd will tell Sheindlin where she's wrong and is almost always able to provide answers in areas that Sheindlin is unaware of, such as on mathematics, current fads, technology, computer related subjects, etc. Byrd was born in the neighborhood of Crown Heights, Brooklyn.
