Why does the camera focus on their hands whenever they are before the
judge? Several times throughout the show, we see their hands. What is

So the audience can see that they don't have their fingers crossed when
they're lying?

the significance?

(Seriously for a moment: I'd speculate that a director or producer is
much entranced with the hands as an especially revealing aspect of body
language when it comes to showing people's stress level and state of
mind and giving a clue as to whether they're telling the truth...)

"Lost" has a similar motif: Many of the episodes open with a closeup
shot of a character's eye.

Yep, I think you put your finger on it.
