I can't stand Diane Sawyer anyway. She probably said this to the court in her usual arrogant, preening style with a plastic smile that looked more like a smirk.

The thing is, this is a judge. In a courtroom. Full of lawyers. Was there anyone in that room who isn't colloquially assumed to be dishonest?
