Lyin' (?) Eyes

...get second sight.

A Michigan woman who lost a small-claims case because she refused to remove her veil while testifying has been granted a new hearing, court officials said.

Ginnnah Muhammad, 42, will appear before the same judge who told her last October that she had to remove her niqab -- a veil with only a small opening at the eyes -- so he could gauge whether she was telling the truth.

When Muhammad refused, Judge Paul Paruk ordered her to pay a rental car company for damage to a vehicle she rented. Muhammad appealed his ruling.

Piss off the judge, then walk back into his courtroom.

Good plan.

You know, mojo ~ I'm really curious what the grounds of her successful appeal was?

The judge likes his head attached to his body, I reckon.
