All of you were warned LOL.

New episodes today, brace yourselves. Get your blinders and mute buttons ready. Face up to purple hair, purple lipstick, gigantic unrestrained boobs, missing nipples, bad Mexican boob jobs, and a musical interlude that will send you running to find knitting needles to shove into your eardrums. I think this is going to become one of our Hall of Fame episodes. By the way, the case has something to do with a car and somebody's medications.

I think she is a lot more than that. Her generally flat affect and her inability to understand simple logical concepts sounds to me more like an actual (as opposed to virtual) psychopath - no empathy for people she deals with, no feeling of treating people decently, frequent adjusting of reality to match what she wants it to be, just using people as objects. I hope she doesn't have any pets.

I agree with all you said but want to add that she was incapable of putting words together in coherent sentences. Not that she had the horrendous grammar we see so often, it was more like she would start with a word or two, pause, then lose track of what she was trying to say. Completely inarticulate.

I couldn't resist the temptation (I also go through at least 4 crossword puzzles a day). A weekly payment of $70.72 for (approximately? what a weasel word) 120 days should be 17 payments (unless they add one more week for the fraction of a week in 120 days). The payment total is $1,202.24 which is about 60% interest on the original loan. Since 120 days is just about 1/3 of a year, that gives an annual percentage rate of about 180%. It's really sad that we see so many litigants who are so ignorant and/or incapable of figuring out day to day decisions. (Feel free to point out any errors I may have made.)

I noted that piece of sartorial splendor myself. However, it looked to me more like free range, organic (there's a good chemistry pun there) vinyl, too even for leather or even pleather.

I agree. To me, he comes across as a beta male interacting with two alpha females so he tries too hard to find some point of disagreement (often stretching reason and logic) so he can act less retiring and show he is not intimidated by the other two. This doesn't make him a bad person (or judge for that matter) but it feels awkward and forced in this TV court setting.

For me this is a problem. JJ hammered the plaintiff to come up with any motive for the defendant to want to harm him, and concludes there is no possible motive. WTF, the defendant was all pissed off that the plaintiff had interfered with her relationship with Jake and may have torpedoed it. Sure sounds like a credible motive for her to act with malice toward the plaintiff.

I just watched today's new case of two brothers arguing over their mother's term life insurance payout. Judge Di Mango defined a term life policy as you pay in regular premiums and if the covered person dies, then the beneficiary gets back the premiums that have been paid in. Isn't this completely wrong? My understanding of term life is that you sign up for a fixed pay out benefit ($500,000 for example), pay all of your premiums as required, and once you get past some initial wait period without dying, then as long as you keep paying the premiums your beneficiary gets the whole payout ($500,000 in my example). This is true even if you drop dead (from a non excluded method of passing) one day after the minimum wait time. Di Mango's definition sounded to me like a garbled description of a whole life policy. Any insurance experts out there, have I had this wrong all of my working life?

The only way I can see it as being worth a to-be-continued is if the defendant is dragged in and forced to admit that there are no medical records to document her alleged broken ankle, which is sort of important since that is her excuse for not going to hearing on the protective order against the plaintiff. Even if she does produce it, JJ's point that she got to work the same day as the hearing, whether by walking, uber, lyft or taxi, tells me that she just didn't bother to show up, frequently a sign of a bogus complaint.. As the case went on, I believed her stories less and less.

Okay, JJ pissed me off today. On the photographer versus the big laughing hyena mother case, what JJ completely missed was that the defendants were showing JJ pictures that were emailed to her by the photographer so the defendants printed them themselves on whatever cheap ass printer they have at home. Seeing them, my first thought was a low end printer and/or bargain ink jet cartridges. To expect the pictures to look like the professional printed ones from the photographer is just ignorant. Note that after JJ saw the photographer's pics on her phone (which probably has much better color rendition than a cheap printer), even JJ said they were OK, except for one. JJ completely blew off the time it takes to sort and edit in preparation for putting together an album or slide show. Lastly, ten dollars each for editing and finishing the digital images is obscene.

Oh boy, what a unintended PSA for staying away from meth. She was tweaking harder than anyone I have ever seen even on COPS and LIVE PD. Her Dad's behavior was also pretty off the wall. I loved plaintiff's comment about not touching Miss Perfect Skank Example without gloves, I wonder if JJ heard that.

Well, the word that popped into my head rhymes with "witch". My favorite line was her indignantly and loudly proclaiming that "he doesn't pay me child support, they take it out of his paycheck!". Not only a nasty person but truly stupid.

A shout out to Judge Judy: https://www.gocomics.com/thegrizzwells/2019/04/24 For some reason, I can't do this with the insert other media function.

I really enjoyed today's new towing case. The plaintiff was laughably stupid, but the great part was the tow guy. Not a likely GQ model but he was looking pretty spiffy. More importantly, he had EVERY piece of paper he needed! He had the paper to show that the police directed him to tow, the signed sheet from the actual tow truck driver documenting the pick up (and noting that there was no plate on the car), the paperwork to show authority to take over the car and dispose of it, the return receipts of the two (count them, two) registered letters he sent to the address he was given by DMV (or police?) for the owner of the car (which turned out to be the plaintiff's parents house), and the correct paperwork to place a lien against the owner. He even properly stopped adding storage fees when the car was junked! I suspect that JM wanted to give him a kiss on the forehead at the end.

Actually, I would use the word incredible, in the exact literal meaning.

The big problem with all of these miracle remedies is that people are desperate and not only buy them but stop any other coventional (and generally shown effective to at least some extent) treatment that may be helping, or at least extending life.

Thank goodness! Some things I just don't want to see.

See, that's where you made your mistake. You'll never make it as a litigant.

Great, I just typed a long response and it all disappeared. To recap, the defendant was let off far too easily for his negligent discharge that almost killed a neighbor. He said that he had never owned a gun before and he was trying out (i.e., playing with) a gun he was thinking about buying. He obviously never took any basic firearm safety course, he admitted he pulled the trigger but thought the safety was on (and apparently fired THREE shots!). To do this without ensuring there was not a round chambered was unbelievably negligent, if you are testing (where you might do this) you absolutely check the chamber and make sure there is no live ammo in the room. At the end, he said that he decided that he would never own a gun, good decision, he is a complete idiot. The judges were far to easy on him, they should have skinned him alive.

Now, now, they are only about 144 months which is not the rest of their life for these stupid youngsters but might be beyond the rest of my life (I'm old).

Yeah, cows are OK but really stupid. It seems unfair given that they live really boring lives that when they get pregnant it is usually by artificial insemination so they don't even get the (presumably) fun part of reproducing.

Same here, I have been doing stuffed burgers (with cheese, peppers, onions, garlic) for at least twenty years. And I am not a chef, or even a serious foodie.However I was a stoner for a few years, and munchies can inspire you.

Well, it is possible to do something like this if you know what you are doing (which leaves the Brown clowns out). This is actually a little ways from my house, but haven't been there yet. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/florida/converted-shipping-container-fl-restaurant/
