Reply to comment by MysteryRadish in TIL the phrase “you can’t handle the truth” was created/ improvised by Jack Nicholson. The movie's original screenplay boasted the line "You already have the truth," which Nicholson trimmed to "You can't handle the truth." by SixedSigma

I served on a jury once, and the defense attorney came out and said, "You're not going to hear anyone in here say, 'You can't handle the truth!'"

Remember me my favorite judge quote: "Mister, we are not here to determine what is true or not."

Na, it wasn't such an important court or case.

It was just about children custody and whether one parent allegations of abuse were forged or not.
