First (2014)-

Rescue Pit Bull Euthanized -Plaintiff/dog attack victim Keyala Shaw and her mother, are suing defendant/Pit Bull owner George Crawford, for an attack, and $5000 for medical bills.    Defendant didn’t see the attack, but his teen son did, Taliq Crawford, age 15.  Taliq invited plaintiff over to the house.    Plaintiff had met the dog on several occasions. Savanna Ware is plaintiff’s witness to the attack.  A few days before the attack, dog was tethered to the house, and nothing happened.   (This was in Honolulu).

Then, Taliq wanted to go to his house to pick up a shirt for tie-dying.   Keyala was roller-blading to the house.    Taliq went to his dad’s room to get the shirt, and he called the dog, Charity, to come downstairs.   Taliq went to the kitchen, put Charity on her leash at the front door.   Then Keyala, and Savanna came to the house, they were on the porch, with the screen door closed, and the front door open.  Then Keyala says the dog jumped against the screen door, it opened, and Charity went out, and bit her several times.       Defendant George says the plaintiff and witness were tormenting the dog, kicking the screen door.  

 Counterclaim is animal control took the dog away, and dog was euthanized.   George wasn’t present when the attack happened, and son Taliq was in the kitchen.  

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Bikini Swap -Plaintiff Alexandra ”Ali” DePari and her mother Karyn DePari are suing defendant Daimi Aricchio  for stealing clothes from her two daughters, Alexandra “Ali” DePari, and Jacqueline DePari.   Litigants trade accusations of lying and trespassing.  Defendant is counterclaiming for $1000 for attorney’s fees.

Plaintiff mother can’t prove clothes weren’t just a borrowing situation, but mother maintains that defendant used their spare key and stole the clothes.   Defendant borrowed clothes from plaintiff daughter to wear to dinner with her mother, and forgot to return them.

Clothes included a bathing suit, two leggings, and a skirt.    Plaintiff daughter claims defendant borrowed the bathing suit, defendant told the plaintiff she didn’t have it, and a week later daughter saw defendant at a pool party wearing the swim suit.   

Plaintiff admits she used the spare key defendant gave her to enter the defendant’s  house, which is burglary when you take property.   Plaintiff daughter says she looked in the defendant’s closet, and found multiple items, some loaned but a lot borrowed.  Sister Jacqueline DePari identifies her clothes that defendant had but were not loaned to her.

JJ is upset that mother and daughters are trying to ruin someone’s reputation over a few clothes that could have been borrowed, but there is no proof of theft.   What Ali DePari did was use a key for emergencies, to commit criminal trespass at defendant’s house. 

Plaintiff mother didn’t press charges against defendant, but she did make a police report

Plaintiff receives $1. 

Second (2014)-

Military Kick Out! – Plaintiff Janna Paris is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend and child’s father Antonio Jackson for half of a house down payment $3500, home improvement costs, and the return of property.    She says he used her $3500 for a down payment, and defendant bought a home with her money when she was away in military training. House was only in his name.    Purchase was in April 2012, when plaintiff was in Virginia in training.   Total house cost was $65,000, and down payment was 3% and all of the down payment came from plaintiff.  Both litigants are in the military, have a 3-year-old child, and have been in a relationship for six years.    He had good credit, but plaintiff had the down payment.  House cost $65000, down payment was $3500 by plaintiff (This was in Philadelphia).

She’s an E-4 reservist, and a Department of Defense employee.   He is also a reservist, and a city of Philadelphia employee.   He paid the mortgage, she paid for groceries, utilities, etc.   However, they each paid one-third, because they had a roommate.   Sorry JJ, but when someone signs the statement saying the down payment or other fees on a house are gifts, it’s a legal gift.

Plaintiff says house was supposed to be in both of their names, but it was only in defendant’s name. Then, after they argued, defendant tossed her out of the house, and kept the house.  JJ will not give money for the repairs. 

Defendant wants money for a TV plaintiff broke.  Plaintiff admits the TV broke, but claims it was from defendant throwing her against it.

JJ says the eviction of plaintiff was illegal.  

$3500 to plaintiff. 

Ex-Fiance Assault Charges -Plaintiff Krystal Ruggiero suing defendant/ex-fiance for an unpaid car loan, and for an assault six months ago, rupturing her eardrum. and she wants to be paid for a play station. (Queensbury, NY)

Car loan was for a car that was put in plaintiff’s name, and that car was sold, and second car was put in defendant’s name, and he put $400 down, and $250 a month.  First car was a trade-in for the second car, while they lived together, so that’s dismissed.

There was a burglary at their apartment, and plaintiff wants to be paid for her $1,000 insurance deductible.  Plaintiff wants medical bills, and pain and suffering for an assault by defendant, this happened six months ago.   Plaintiff claims the assault ruptured her eardrum. 

The items plaintiff is claiming for were originally purchased by defendant, stolen in the burglary, and replaced by plaintiff.   Claim dismissed.

Plaintiff case dismissed. (I wish her the best in life, just grateful it’s not in my life)

First (2012)-

Risque Internet Pics -Plaintiff Tamily Anderson Chaz Elbert suing defendant/ex-boyfriend for car damages, claims he keyed her car, stolen property, and private (nekkid) pictures defendant posted on the internet.    (Naked is when you don’t have any clothes on, nekkid is when you don’t have clothes on, and you’re up to something-Jeff Foxworthy).   Defendant agreed to pay for the damages to the car.

(This was in New Haven, CT).   After plaintiff went out with her friends, and defendant got upset.  JJ warns her during dating is the best behavior, and it only gets worse later, and you’ll feel like Hannibal Lecter’s prisoner.  

She gets her Play Station 3 back.

They argued over the phone, she didn’t even go out after all.   She went out and saw her car was keyed.  Then she calls JJ “Judy” and is corrected by JJ.  Plaintiff called police and made a report, but no one saw anyone damage the car.   Plaintiff claims she talked to defendant on phone, and she claims he admitted the damages to her car.   

My prediction is JJ will say if you don’t want nasty pictures on the internet, then don’t pose for them.  She posed for one picture, and doesn’t have a copy of the second one to show JJ.

$318 to fix car, Play Station 3 back to plaintiff

Terrorist Facebook Threats -Plaintiff Kimberly Barnes suing defendant Shemika Brown for making a complaint to police, resulting in a false arrest for making threats.   The two were friends, and plaintiff claims when she had a new friend to ‘hang’ with, that Shemika argued with plaintiff.  Then, defendant made a police report about plaintiff making threats, and plaintiff was arrested for making terrorist threats on Facebook.

JJ is executing a fly, with extreme prejudice.  

There is no proof that the message wasn’t from plaintiff.

JJ reads the police report.   Defendant says threat was to hang and beat defendant until she was dead, and so badly no one would recognize her body.  Message was posted on plaintiff’s best friends Facebook page, but plaintiff claims she didn’t do it.   However, the only ‘proof’ was defendant’s statement.   Case was dropped after Shemika didn’t show for the third hearing on the case.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2012)-

Father Hates Daughter’s Boyfriend -Plaintiff Richard Marston (father) is suing defendant /daughter’s boyfriend Anthony  Ringering for trashing his home.   Daughter of plaintiff is Karissa Marston, and son is Jeremy Marston.    (This happened in Washougal, WA)

  Defendant denies trashing the girlfriend father’s house, and he claims the father went after him in a rage after discovering the damage to his home.  Defendant claims he didn’t trash the house, but claims the son of plaintiff did it.

Plaintiff and wife went out, defendant, and son and daughter Marston were in the house.  Plaintiff says he and wife left at 9:30 am, and returned about noon.   Daughter says boyfriend came to the house briefly, and came back to the house later, about the time parents came home.   Son says he was out of the house, when he came back was about the time the parents came home, and when he came in the house only Carissa and Anthony were in the house upstairs.    Flat screen TV had a huge hole in it, and the china closet was overturned. 

I don’t blame the father for hating Anthony, I’m not liking Anthony much either.  Daddy Marston says he came home saw the destruction in his house, and then when Anthony came out of the kitchen, he claims Anthony said, “I did it, I’m sorry”.

Carissa admits she was there, and heard Anthony say he did it to the plaintiff.   Carissa claims it was an accident.  

Plaintiff receives $750.

(Next week the 5 p.m. episodes that most people can view, go back to 2017 dates).

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Legal Battle -Plaintiff/former client Joseph  Price suing his former attorney /defendant Matthew Bellmer for return of his retainer fee, in a domestic violence case, and restraining order defense.  Defendant/attorney disputes the return, because he only met with plaintiff once, but attorney claims he did a lot of work and research on the case.   Retainer was $3,000 ($243 per hour).    (Tumwater, Pierce County,  Washington)

Plaintiff signed the retainer with defendant. Plaintiff wants the entire $3,000 back.   Initial work was $1500, and then billed the rest at $243 an hour.    Plaintiff eventually employed another attorney, and defendant withdrew from the case.  

Plaintiff appeared in court for an hour long hearing that lasted one hour, and another meeting for an hour, and the initial meeting of one hour.     Defendant says he was hired for the protection of a domestic violence protection order, and this was dismissed, but prosecuting attorney never sent the restraint agreement, and case was dismissed.   Attorney can’t show billing  log.   Right before going back to court, plaintiff fired him.     JJ isn’t sympathetic to defendant charging by the hour, instead of fixed fee by case.

Litigants had a written retainer agreement, and that will not be modified by an oral contract change. 

Defendant only can account for $610, unless he shows his record of services to plaintiff.

$2400 to plaintiff.

Car Crash into a Cemetery! -Plaintiff Wade Sharp III (car owner) and son Wade Sharp IV (car driver, age 17) suing defendant Michael Goransson for car damages.   In the accident a car full of teenagers goes airborne and slams into a tombstone.  Plaintiff had two passengers, says he was turning left with the light, was hit, went airborne, flew over the cemetery wall, and hit a tombstone.   He was hit on the front driver’s side.  

Defendant’s lame explanation is he was making a left turn, sitting in intersection when the light started to change, when plaintiff hit him on the front driver’s side, and claims he was only going 1 to 2 miles an hour.    Defendant claims plaintiff was speeding, but from the damages, defendant was speeding.  Defendant’s statement about the accident is ridiculous.   Defendant is counter suing for damages.  Goransson claims plaintiff ran the red light, and was speeding.

There’s a video, but it didn’t show the traffic light.

Defendant hit the plaintiff so hard, that it was impossible that defendant was going slowly or almost stopped. 

Plaintiff car hit a tombstone and broke it, and airbags deployed.

Defendant brought his mommy to court, and she’s making excuses for him.

JJ looks at plaintiff car first, and then defendant car.  No one was cited by police, at least no one was injured. 

Plaintiff receives $2,000

Second (2014)-

Stolen Heart Medication? -Plaintiff /former renter Justin Whiting suing defendants/landlords, Kevin and Karen Fieseler evicted tenant, but plaintiff claims they had no reason to evict him, and kept his property.    Defendants said they did evict him, they told him to pick up his property, but he never did, after the legally required period, the property was considered abandoned, and they trashed it.   There is a written lease through 30 June, and plaintiff paid through June, but refused to leave in July, and didn’t pay rent.   Plaintiff claims he was forced by Mr. Fieseler to move out, and was harassed at work by him also.  

Plaintiff claims the day he was leaving, after the end of the lease into July, that Karen F. was videoing him, and a gang of people rushed him, and harassed him to leave.   Plaintiff took his piano (electronic keyboard), TVs, pictures, in plaintiff’s two vehicles, but left behind items like his heart medication. Plaintiff’s witness helped plaintiff load his vehicles in four hours.   This case is in April, move out was previous July, so I guess he didn’t need his heart medication he left behind.   I really hate the professional tenants, like this man. 

JJ asks plaintiff why the landlords would want to get rid of a paying tenant?   JJ says defendants claim they had many complaints about constant visits, and other issues.

Defendant stored left behind property for 28 days, notified plaintiff to pick up items, and he never did.   Lease said no pets, and there were three pets there (two cats and a dog).   Plaintiff claims the pets were only there for a few days, and are his parents’.  The pictures on move in, and move out are so awful.    Plaintiff says the mess in the move out pictures is from defendants throwing his stuff in the basement corner.   However, the move out picture has a cat that was left behind too.    Plaintiff is whining that when defendants mowed his yard, they decimated his garden.

House was a mess on moveout.   

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Online Love Gone Wrong -Plaintiff Alicia Young suing defendant/former boyfriend, and current deadbeat, Ramon King for repayment of a loan to get his car fixed.     Plaintiff is a single mother, made less than $12k when this case was filmed, and took out a bank loan to finance the car repair.    They met in August, and she took out the loan a month later.   Loan was $1400, and he only repaid $100.

Defendant claims he never asked plaintiff for the money, and so he shouldn’t have to repay anything. 

How despicable, defendant took money from a woman who makes $12k a year. 

Plaintiff gets $1300.   

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2012)-

Burned -Plaintiff Anne Cozza suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Mathew Burns for credit card debt, parking tickets, impound fees and car-repair costs.  Defendant is whining he paid for the car for four-and-a-half years, and then stopped paying.    Plaintiff bought a car and TV for defendant.   He’s a full-time student, and ran out of loan money.    Car was not properly registered, and it was not registered for six months.   Car is registered in both names, and loan is in both names, so since plaintiff has a job, the loan people went be after her.    Car was impounded because of the tickets and registration issue, and plaintiff got the car out of impound.

JJ tells defendant the truth, work full time, and do school part time. He went to University of California, Santa Cruz.   

Defendant whines that she took his car and left him carless.

Plaintiff wants to be paid for the TV on the Best Buy card, $1300, plus it went into collections, the collections people settled for $752 with plaintiff, and she paid this off.   Impound fees for plaintiff to get the car was $2230, plus $519.  19 parking citations cost $1600.    Plaintiff wants repair costs to fix up and sell the car.  Repair costs dismissed without prejudice, so after she fixes the car, and sells it, if there’s a shortfall then she needs to file again.

$3500 to plaintiff for car payments, TV from Best Buy, impound costs.

Lovers no More -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Annaliza Posadas suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Angel Arroyo for money plaintiff spent on him, $1000 for his old car to pay the bank off.  Plaintiff gave him money to pay his rent, his car payments for five months.    

This episode from 2012 was before JJ accepted text messages as evidence.

$2755 to plaintiff.

Second (2012)-

Crazy Love -Plaintiff Chelsea Hansen suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Antonio Reed for a forged promissory note to repay car payments for his car.   He accuses her of vandalizing his car and stealing his belongings.   

Three car payments of $440 each, $300 Honda repair, and lawyer fees.  The defendant flipped cars, and apparently sucked at it, so $2400 for a Saturn.   Total is $5600.

Defendant claims he signed the note for the car payment, and a couple of smaller bills, and claims plaintiff added other debts above his signature.

(This happened in Burbank, CA).

$5,000 to plaintiff, $5000 to defendant for car, so no one gets anything.

Frat House Car Block -Plaintiff Amanda Sacknitz suing defendant Matthew Perkins for damaging her car when he backed her car out of a parking spot, and car was hit.  Car was illegally parked.      $700 is the cost, JJ finds both liable.  

The drivers at the lot would leave their car keys in a box, and if someone needed to move cars, they would grab the keys, move the car, get their car out.     Defendant needed to get his car out, plaintiff’s car was blocking him, so he fished the keys out of the box, moved her car, and while backing out of the space, someone hit him.   

JJ finds each litigant partially responsible, so she splits the $700 repair costs in half, so plaintiff gets $350.

Classic rerun "Nightmare Neighbor"

Bazinga posted the link to the original airing.  

Crystal Dougherty vs. Thomas and Irina Mahoney Plaintiff is suing for $5,000 for loss of rental income, because no one can stand to rent the condo because of the screaming, and stomping noises, the noises went on constantly.   Plaintiff moved out in 2018, and two months later plaintiff tried to rent the condo, and tenant lasted three weeks before complaining, and plaintiff let tenant out of the lease months early, and that's what the court case for $5,000 in lost rent is for.   

https://m.facebook.com/ThePeoplesCourt/posts/2467000863319807?comment_id=2481424711877422     Here's a shot of the original airing, 

What kind of person marries and has a kid with someone, and leaves them in the condo with horrible mental issues?   

 I feel so sorry for the plaintiff who had to put up with constant screaming and moaning from the neighbor, the police coming to haul defendant away for 5150 exams, and then Irina moves back.   Then, plaintiff was naughty at not mentioning to the condo tenant about the neighbor issues, and I'm not surprised the tenant moved out. 

One time the police were called, and an ambulance showed up, and police had to forcibly put her in the ambulance, and Irina was gone for three days. 

Thomas claims plaintiff is the problem, got the building manager fired, and everything is plaintiff's fault.   Thomas also claims Irina needs her space, and that his wife doesn't have mental health issues.    I agree with JM, it sounds like living downstairs from the Exorcist.  

I'm just glad that someone said even though Irina was a phlebotomist in Russia, or where ever she came from, isn't working in the U.S.   

Hall-terview with Doug was heartbreaking.  I'm not surprised the other tenants avoid defendant.   From what the defendant said, it's not just mental health issues, but anger issues.    

Poor Doug in the hall, this case makes me mad at the husband abandoning the wife, and the impact of her on the neighbors.  I'm also glad that Doug probably has security standing close to him, defendants both sound out of touch with reality. 

$5000. 

(Where I live, TPC followed by two hours of Judge Judy air on Fox, which is showing the Womens Soccer Road to Fifa World Cup on Friday the 7th.  So it might cancel the airings for both shows.  But at least soccer ends on time. )

[Hot Bench - General Discussion]

New, 6 Oct 22, "No Security From a Flooded Mess" (Thomas vs. Matthews)

Plaintiff rented place from defendent for 16 years, when plaintiff moved out his son Keilan Thomas, took up the lease and kept living there, and he wants his security deposit back.   

Defendant is claiming for damage from a flood in the apartment (2nd story apartment), flooding the downstairs apartment, and damaging the tenant's property.   Water had to be shut off to the building overnight to stop the flood.   Defendant says son turned on water, left it running, it turns out the toilet this was blamed on was working fine. Corriero says there's no proof the water came from the 2nd store apartment, and he's so wrong.   

Defendant claims son left $5,000 in damages when son moved out.  Defendant says son left a large couch, refrigerator, bedframe and headboard. and lots of other property.   Defendant says plaintiff punched every door in the apartment, holes in the wall (very big holes),     Defendants presents a video of the damages.   Plaintiff son admits he punched all of the doors, but thinks it's better that it happened over time, not all at once. 

Defendant says they fixed a ceiling leak a long time ago, before the flood happened to the downstairs neighbor from the 2nd floor apartment.   

Father and son Thomas say defendant illegally kept their security deposit.    Father Thomas says son did this years ago.     Corriero argues there is no proof the downstairs flood was caused by the plaintiff, but that's ludicrous.     Defendant had to refurbish the downstairs apartment floors.    Di mango, doesn't even mention the multiple holes and drywall damages in the apartment, which are thousands.   Plaintiff admitted that his daughter overflowed the toilet, so he did take the blame for the flood. 

Security was $950, and Corriero gives $250 to defendant, and plaintiff's ridiculous case dismissed.   

I really wondered if Sonia the baililff was going to have to taze the judges. 

Rerun, 2022, "Valued Garage"  (Khalil  vs. Keller )

PLaintiff suing defendant for $1987 for unpaid rent for a storage space defendant was renting from him.   Defendant claims he doesn't owe plaintiff anything because plaintiff raised the rent.   In 2015, plaintiff bought two apartment buildings, and raised the rent on the garage space from $50 to $80, and $100 was the new amount, then in 2019 rent went from  $175 to $190, and defendant didn't pay the raise framount for $15 a month, and then when rent went to $200, defendant didn't pay the rent for a year at all. 

Defendant claims he couldn't access the garage storage space, because the car in the driveway blocked his garage door opening.   Plaintiff says from the first time he bought the building, that he told the tenant not to block the garage door.   And if tenant blocked the garage door should call the tenant to move her car.  Apartment tenant doesn't pay extra for the driveway, but if they want a garage space it costs them $200. 

Plaintiff says that the only complaint from defendant was five or so years ago about garage access.    Plaintiff says that defendant could have moved out if he didn't like the rent prices, or had access issues.   There is no proof of continuing access issues, except the defendant's self-serving statements. $200 a month is the same price a tenant would pay to rent the garage too.  

Plaintiff gets 6 months of unpaid rent, so $1200,   Acker is wrong, there is no proof that the defendant didn't have access. 

Friday's two shows were pre-empted by baseball.    

[Rock The Block - General Discussion]

I read a great suggestion from someone on Reddit.   Why do the builders give them houses with cabinets and other things they'll just rip out?   Give them houses without cabinets, make it faster and easier to install kitchens or baths, and even if they donate them, the original cabinets must get torn up sometimes.

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

The New Wife -Plaintiff/ex wife and  mother of three kids with ex-husband, Teresa Martin, and Trenton Dorsey(17-year-old son) suing defendants father, Jeff Dorsey, and (stepmother) Dayna Dorsey for the bank overage, filing a false restraining order against the plaintiff mother.   The litigants had 3 children. Trenton is 17, Tyler is 21, and another son who is 8. 

 Trenton moved in with dad because mother was too bossy, and had too many rules.  He took his clothes, and Xbox.   Teresa Martin is suing defendant stepmother because son and stepmother had a joint bank account.    Ms. Martin accidentally overdrew the account, son Trenton had to pay $287 to get father’s jeep out of impound (driving 65 in a 35 zone).      Overdraw amount was $558, and son has to repay that.  

Plaintiff mother also claims defendants filed a false restraining order against her.   Son didn’t take any furniture to dad’s house, but one or more sons burglarized son’s former room at dad’s house.   Furniture suddenly appeared in mother’s/plaintiff’s house, that was taken out of defendants’ home without permission.

Trenton also went back to father’s house to get the Xbox.   Door was locked at dad’s house, and Trenton cut through the screen to enter and take his property back.  That’s burglary.     Defendants are counter suing for school fees, and theft of property. 

Stepmother filed against plaintiff and Trenton, because of the burglary.  

Defendant stepmother wants money for the stolen games taken by Trenton.  She says her 13-year-old is afraid of Trenton, and has to go to private school to keep from running into Trenton at school.   JJ says stepmother is out to get plaintiff.   So, JJ has no issue with plaintiff and thieving sons breaking into father's house and stealing furniture?   

Audience agrees with JJ.  I don't. 

$558 for plaintiff for the overdraft.  

Debit Card Downer -Plaintiff Dustin Baptiste suing defendant/ ex-wife Samatha Baptiste for misuse of his healthcare debit card.    Apparently, the plaintiff didn’t know card worked for anything, but ex-wife used the debit card to get breakfast and snacks for the kids, McDonald’s, etc.    Debit card was not allowed to be used for this purpose.

Ex-wife had card for about 18 months, and plaintiff didn’t check the statements, so wife was doing this for a long time.    However, the random use for food, etc. was only right after the divorce when plaintiff checked his statements.

JJ really doesn’t understand the way debit cards for health care work.   Plaintiff wants $1900 for bills ex-wife ran up in a very short time after the divorce.   I think it’s revenge by the ex-wife.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Babysitting Debacle -Plaintiff/babysitter Sierra Booth suing defendant Adam Hageman for unpaid babysitting fees, and emotional distress.   

This case was supposed to be heard the week before, but had to wait until plaintiff got out of jail for lying to a police officer about her identity.  Plaintiff was arrested for using an I.D. from someone else, to visit her boyfriend in jail.

Defendant says plaintiff violated his house rules while she was babysitting his children in his home, claims her boyfriend stole from the house, and she damaged his truck.

Defendant submits the police report about plaintiff’s boyfriend.   Missing items an iPod, cell phone, Xbox, controllers, clothing, piggy bank money from kids, and other items. Defendant’s witness is his girlfriend, and went to the house to watch the kids, and make a list.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Unwed Parents’ Bitter Breakup! -Plaintiff David Brown suing defendant Michelle Marek for a computer, and false arrest and restraining order, and return of property.   Litigants have a 14-year-old together.  They had an on and off again relationship for about 20 years total.

When plaintiff moved out, he claims defendant agreed to store his property, but says defendant won’t give his property back. 

This was two years ago he moved out, and that means his furniture and property case is dismissed.

Restraining order wasn’t served on plaintiff, but when he went to their daughter’s middle school graduation police escorted him out, but he was released after it was discovered that the restraining order was never served on plaintiff.

Defendant gave plaintiff a check for the daughter’s computer, did a stop payment, and so check bounced.

Plaintiff gets $366 for the check for the computer. Defendant’s ridiculous counter claim is dismissed.

Shoplifting Among Friends -Plaintiff Stephanie Razo suing defendant Taylor Peavy after both women were arrested for shoplifting.    Plaintiff blames the defendant for her arrest, but plaintiff took a plea, and paid a fine.  Plaintiff wants the defendant to pay her fines.   Then, plaintiff claims she bought a cell phone for defendant, after the shoplifting arrest, and JJ dismisses that (I’m so glad, I hate cell phone cases).

Plaintiff claims while defendant was holding her satchel for her, while plaintiff was in the fitting room, that defendant put stolen items in the purse.    Defendant says they both shoplifted. JJ is right, why would plaintiff still buy a cell phone for defendant and be friends if defendant did frame her for shoplifting?

Everything dismissed.

Defendant admits she has no job, not going to school, or doing anything else.  JJ is going after plaintiff harder than the defendant.  Defendant claims plaintiff tried to get her to take the blame.

Defendant says she did have something to drink, they left the party, and claims plaintiff was yelling at her, and wouldn’t let her out of the car.    Defendant claims she never touched the steering wheel, or the accelerator, but police report says she admitted grabbing the steering wheel, and stomping on the accelerator.

Plaintiff claims she bought defendant an entire outfit, but he denies that.    Plaintiff has proof of the statement by defendant.  However, defendant did pay for the suit with his debit card.  Plaintiff withdrew the $300 the day after the suit was purchased by defendant.

There is a photo of defendant holding a lot of money, and saying “I’m not going to give you your money back”.   

Everything dismissed.

Here I was enjoying the absense of her name in the listings and you had to ruin it! 😉

Sorry about that, but she turns up on everything else.  

I call shenanigans on the appraisals.   I'm convinced that they don't do appraisals, but just figure out who they want to promote for their next show season, and that's the winner.   

 With Egypt and Mike, they simply couldn't ignore the high quality of their design, the producers had to pick them as winners, because they obviously were.      I think the attached houses for the Colorado subdivision will add difficulty.  Unless they build four separate houses on the same property.

I'm sure A.V. will be judging a segment.   Even though they haven't announced it.   I think we're condemned to seeing her all over the network, and forever.    She must have a picture of someone doing naughty things, that's the only explanation.   (She announced season 4 of her show is coming some time).

New, "Rent No More" 5 Oct 2022

Martinez vs. Sedrey

Plaintiff Martinez rented a home to homeless Navy vet defendant Sedrey, and is now suing him for unpaid rent..   Defendant claims plaintiff was being sued for $3 million, but he's a landlord in L.A., so that's pretty common.    Defendant subleased rooms to other tenants, but didn't want to work as a property manager any longer.   Sedrey and other tenants received eviction notices.   

Sedrey complains that renting to tenants was horrible, tenants didn't want to leave, there were ants and other bugs, but from photos plaintiff saw, there were dirty dishes everywhere. Mr. Martinez has six lawsuits against him by previous tenants of his multiple rental properties.   If tenants don't pay rent on time, then in one case plaintiff told defendant not to cash check, because it would make the person a legal tenant again.   All of this happened four years ago. 

The photos of the kitchen floor are horrendously bad.  As Judge Acker says, "It looks like aliens threw up in here".     I still question why plaintiff waited four years to sue defendant.

Judges say they believe the plaintiff wanting to rent to a family member was only an excuse to evict the defendant and other tenants.   It's four years later, I think they should toss the case.  The judges say the statute of limitations for unpaid rent in California is two years. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

2022 Rerun, "Dog Sitting Disaster"  (Wachter  vs. Kathleen Parsons)

Plaintiff Wachter brings Kona to court, and he's suing the  dog walker for letting plaintiff's chocloate Lab Kona contract an ear infection from ocean water.   Plaintiff claims when he was on vacation, dog sitter took dog to beach, had an accident in his vehicle, and he's suing for deductible, and vet bills.    However, plaintiff didn't tell dog walker that Kona had a pre-existing condition with his ears.   Kathleen Parsons didn't have insurance at the time of the accident.   

Plaintiff left dog walker four pages of specific pet care instructions, but didn't say Kona could have ear infections because of his floppy ears.   Plaintiff also didn't say to dry the dog's ears out carefully, but instructions did say Kona liked to go to the beach.  

Car damage estimate is $2700, defendant backed into a pole.   Defendant also claims she didn't know she didn't have insurance.  Defendant claims she was driving the dog back to plaintiff's home. 

Plaintiff has a $2,000 deductible, no rental car coverage. 

Decision is $500 rental, and $2,000 for car repairs, total of $2500 for the car damages only, not vet bills.

[House Hunters - General Discussion]

New Episode, BillingscMontana. with Lucais and Clark.      They were in Michigan, looking for jobs in MD, but clicked on MT, and a job came up, partner can work remotely.  

Budget is $300k, Realtor warns that in a few months the $300k houses will be $325k or more.

House 1,  $300k, 2 bed 2 bath, bedrooms are smaller, new build townhouse and only shares one wall, HOA $175 a month, snow removal.   $4300 for a fence. 

House 2, $299,900 single family in town, two story, close to downtown, 3 bed 2 bath, there an ADU out back, and they used to rent the front house for $1600 a month, and ADU for $500.(I might not have the rental prices exactly right.   The ADU needed work.  Main house is nicely remodeled, but original windows.  all 3 bedrooms upstairs,

Realtor says each window replacement could be $2500 or more, no ensuite.    Can they replace the windows without historic association approval?   Or are the windows sizes that will require custom sizes, and cost that much to replace?  I'm guessing the realtor showed this house to someone else, and knows about the window replacement prices.    

House 3, single family fixer, $240k, 3 bed 1 bath, older windows, 4 types of carpet so far., lots of windows, decent size bedroom.  I'm guessing the windows are standard sizes, and could be replaced easier than on house #2,  wood floors under the carpet.   What they could do to save money is rip the carpets out themselves, and have a contractor refinish the floors. Needs new counter tops. actually needs new kitchen,   finished basement, higher ceiling for a basement.  third bedroom is in the basement, but no egress windows.   Adding an egress window to the basement could be thousands of dollars.    Clark wants to make the downstairs bedroom attached to the bedroom an ensuite, and giant closet (terrible idea), no egress window, plumbing to basement bathroom will be very expensive because of the cement foundation, main floor bath is a gut job.   1 car garage.  

They buy #3 the fixer.     I wouldn't do anything to the basement, but put a master suite addition off the back of the first floor.  Clark wants to rip out the kitchen, and do the ensuite.   They have no future as house painters though, I bet a first floor addition of a master suite will need a furnace replacement for a bigger, more efficient unit.    I would never jack hammer the basement floor for an added bathroom.   

I hope the two men didn't rip down walls, and do anything but rip out the carpet and tack strips.    Taking down walls is not for amateurs.   In an area that gets heavy wind storms, lots of snow and ice, taking down a wall without engineering reports that say it's safe can get you killed.

https://mylandmarkhomes.net/blog/who-is-rocking-the-rockies-in-season-four-of-rock-the-block/   

Talks about the teams, and who is on them.   This is Season 4.  

It's above Denver, and not that far south of Fort Collins.   

My guess for winner is Page, and her partner.   Jon and Kristina seem like a stong second.    

The new team aren't familiar to me, but one partner won Project Runway All Star season 6. (I might have that season number wrong). 

Certainly not Sarah and Bryan, 

The builder's website looks like the homes are upscale townhomes.   The prices are comparable to the previous Rock the Block communities.    Unless there's a separate section of four homes, I'm guessing they might have to go with the standard outside themes.   

My suspicion is the 'name the street after you' is just a gimmick, and a street sign they used for filming, and sign goes away with the cameras. 

[Renovation Island - General Discussion]

This is part of the the blurb about Team B&S, for Rock the Block's upcoming season: 

Team B&S -Bryan and Sarah Baeumler

The Baeumlers are a dynamic, talented duo hailing from Canada, that together packed up their family and moved to an island in the Bahamas to fully restore and renovate a rundown resort onRenovation Island. The luxury resortCaerula Mar Club is now hosting guests. Bryan and Sarah also star in the HGTV seriesRenovation, Inc. Additionally, Sarah is the founder of alifestyle brand, inspiring women with elevated design and intentional living. While Bryan is an award-winning host who has been educating viewers across Canada as a licensed contractor and home renovation expert. Some of Bryan’s other shows include Disaster DIY,Bryan Inc.,Island of Bryan, andLeave it to Bryan.

I'm not interested in her elevated design, and intentional living.    The elevated design is the same old imported junk, and I don't need someone who can't plan anything telling me how to live "intentionally".   

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Lose the Puppy! -Plaintiff/former tenant Cheryl Pederson (mother) and (daughter) Caitlin Addie are   suing defendants/former tenants Jade Cowdery and Talie Wardle for property, rent, bills. Tenants/defendants paid $200 twice a month for rent.    In May, defendants had a puppy, not in the lease, and were told to get the puppy out of the house, and defendants took puppy and moved out.     Moving out was a big dust up too.  Plaintiff daughter was convicted of domestic violence, overturned on appeal, but the fine paid by daughter was part of the plea settlement.   

Jade worked for plaintiff mother for a year before this all happened, Jade is a pastry chef.   Plaintiff daughter says defendant didn’t pay the last 30-day’s notice.   When defendants were packing up, plaintiff daughter grabbed one of the defendants’ laptop, until they paid the rent.    Plaintiff daughter claims she was attacked, but was the one arrested by police, and plea bargained it out.   Plaintiff Caitlin says Talie’s police report claims plaintiff threatened her with a knife. 

Plaintiff daughter claims one of the defendants stole her antique opera glasses, and pawned them across the street.   Both defendants claims they never pawned anything, or ever possessed the opera glasses.   Plaintiff daughter would have to buy the opera glasses back from pawn shop proprietor, and she can’t afford that.  Pawn shop has no receipt for the opera glasses, so how does plaintiff daughter know they’re actually her glasses?     I bet the pawn shop owner bought the glasses at an estate sale, yard sale, or where ever they buy stock from.

Defendant is firing for wrongful termination, property, etc. Defendant claim dismissed. 

Defendants didn’t file a police report on Caitlin’s assault on Talie.

Everything dismissed.    

Boxer on Steroids? -Plaintiff/boxer Alex Rozman. suing defendant/former promoter Philip Armer lost fight wages for claiming plaintiff is on steroids.  Boxer claims that the trainer’s rumor about steroid use tanked his fight.   JJ wants boxer to prove he’s not on steroids.  

Plaintiff is a pro fighter.    Litigants were splitting the ticket sales 50/50. 

Plaintiff wants $4,000.    However, Mr. Rozman was under suspension in Michigan.    (Alex has also appeared in MMA bouts too.)

No proof he’s not on steroids, or proof that defendant told anyone about the possible steroid use. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Calling the Cops on a Cop! -Plaintiff/former tenant and police officer Francine Briscoe suing defendant/former landlady Millie Huntley for filing false charges against plaintiff with internal affairs, and that it was defamation.    Plaintiff says the investigations took a year, and everything was dismissed.   

Tenant police officer says landlord filed false charges and defamed her character after she moved out of the house, in a ploy to get more money out of plaintiff.   Landlord only reported police officer to her boss after defendant wanted more money, and thought she could get more money to leave plaintiff alone.  Defendant wants $4900, in damages, but not until six months after plaintiff moved out.

After three years, plaintiff notified defendant that she wasn’t going to renew her lease, and move out.  Defendant claims plaintiff fraudulently transferred power bill back to landlady’s name a month before the end of the lease.    However, plaintiff’s brother also lived in the house, so it could have been brother, or anyone else that changed the address on the power bill.

Defendant gives JJ a letter from the police, but it doesn’t say plaintiff changed the account, but plaintiff paid the $98 to defendant to get the charge to go away.   $2100 was security deposit, and landlady didn’t use that for the power bill.   Defendant also claims two bounced rent checks, but she only complained over the phone, not in writing.    However, plaintiff paid the checks to the defendant, and landlady still took rent, but not personal checks.  

JJ has defendant’s email, she’s alleging all kinds of damages, but six months after plaintiff left the property.     The captions are wrong, defendant complained to internal affairs, not just plaintiff’s supervisor.   Defendant also threatened to file a complaint about worker’s comp about plaintiff’s bunion surgery.    Defendant also threatened to notify the national news shows, newspapers, etc.  about plaintiff’s issues.

Instead of suing for damages, defendant went to Internal Affairs.    Defendant made a lot of unfounded allegations, and JJ says it was to get $4900 from plaintiff, months after tenant moved out.  Then, defendant claims plaintiff’s girlfriend called her complaining, so I’m suspecting another reason to make false allegations.    Defendant made no allegations while plaintiff was a tenant, but only six months after plaintiff moved out.   

JJ says instead of going to court and filing for damages, defendant tried to extort plaintiff for the money to fix her house, and six month’s after plaintiff moved out.   Defendant claims she was being a Good Samaritan and good citizen filing the complaints, and that’s bull pucky!

Plaintiff receives $5000.      Defendant case dismissed.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2012)-

Pit Bull Gunfire -Plaintiff Rickey Harvey suing defendant/neighbor Marcus Ford (Pit Bull owner, 3 dogs) for damages to garage door of another neighbor when plaintiff fired his pistol to scare defendant’s Pit Bull away from his house.   Plaintiff was on his own property when defendant’s attacking Pit Bull came after plaintiff.   Defendant has a counter complaint claiming this dog incident was the reason defendant was evicted.     This was in Lithonia, GA.

Plaintiff was on his own property, coming out from under his garage door, when one of Ford’s dog came after him.  Plaintiff shot off three rounds, hitting the neighbor’s garage door.    Plaintiff says dog owner have received two citations before this.    The attacking dog was a breeding female.     Plaintiff says on the day the family moved into their house, that one of defendant’s dogs bit one of the movers.  Pit Bulls have to be in enclosures unless they are supervised by owner, and under control.   Defendant’s female dog had 13 puppies, and his brother had three more Pits, on the first day when the mover was bitten.   Plaintiff says there have been three reports to Animal Control about defendant’s dogs, in the three months that plaintiff has lived there. 

  Sorry JJ, carrying a gun on your own property in Georgia, is legal.    JJ says plaintiff should apply for a carry permit, but not required on your own property.

Defendant’s ridiculous counter claim about plaintiff’s complaints getting him evicted, is dismissed.

People have the right to feel safe in their own home, and having some Pit Bull chase you around in your own garage, or bite someone on your property on the first day you live there is disgusting.   

JJ doesn’t have to worry about Pit Bull attacks on her property, I bet her army of security guards would take care of that.   Plaintiff needs shooting lessons.

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Baby Not on Board -Plaintiff/former landlord Robert Keyser suing defendant/former tenant Katrina Mannara for unpaid rent, cleaning and repair costs, $1540.   Former tenant says she moved out to protect her baby from plaintiff’s excessive pot smoking.   No written lease.   

Plaintiff gets $1300 for unpaid rent.

Second (2012)-

Biting and Fighting -Plaintiff Sarah Budney suing ex-boyfriend / defendant Montreale Rucker for an assault during a property exchange.   Defendant says plaintiff bit him during a fight over a DVD.  Police escorted plaintiff off the property.   However, after plaintiff’s allegations, defendant was arrested, held for three days in jail, and released when charges were dismissed.     Litigants had a very short relationship, she left some property at defendant’s place, everything was returned to plaintiff, but DVD was missed.   Then, plaintiff kept demanding the DVD back.   She also refused and still does think he doesn’t mean it when he says he doesn’t want a relationship with her.  

When plaintiff went to defendant’s place, he was home, but she tried to kick the door in, and police were called by a neighbor.   Police escorted her off of defendant’s property.   Then, she contacted defendant through friends, and wanted the DVD back.  

So, the two met to give plaintiff the DVD.    DVD was given back to plaintiff, put in her car, and she claims defendant pinned her against her car, was yelling in her face.  Then, plaintiff hit defendant in the neck.  Plaintiff claims defendant punched her, and she bit him.   Plaintiff claims while she was still biting defendant, he hit her.   She wants her hospital bills.

Defendant’s story is dramatically different. Day after police escorted plaintiff off of defendant’s property, they met outside the defendant’s mother’s house.   When plaintiff bit defendant on the arm, she left a scar.   JJ allows defendant to approach her Bench of Justice, and at he shows JJ his bite mark scar.   Defendant tells JJ “she’s a pretty woman” and JJ says he was ahead of the game without that remark.

Defendant only defended himself from plaintiff’s attack.

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it’s garbage.

Impounded Puppy -Plaintiff/daughter Malissa Heath is suing defendant/father Nathan Peterson for the value of her car and contents, including the loss of her puppy, property, and other items in her car.  Car was driven by the father, who was driving when it was impounded when father was arrested for DUI.

Defendant was driving, was drunk, pulled into a McDonald’s turned around and the police said he was under arrest for drunk driving, and Mr. Smart Ass said, “I’m not driving drunk, I’m standing in the middle of McDonald’s drunk”.     

The defendant’s father was driving, his uncle was in the car with the puppy under the seat.   Plaintiff only had the puppy for one day, the car was impounded.     Father ended up jailed for 90 days.  Tow yard finally sold the car.      So, car disappeared, and plaintiff didn’t call police and report it stolen?   Or ask anyone where the car and dog went?    

I’m really hating everyone in this case.  Best case scenario is when car was impounded, that either police or tow yard found the puppy, and rescued it.  

$2750 to plaintiff.   

[Hot Bench - General Discussion]

New

“Loan Him & Leave Him”-

Plaintiff suing her estranged husband over debts, for a 2017 Chevy Sonic.    They can’t even agree on when they legally separated, and plaintiff didn’t file until later, so it delayed the separation, except they still lived together.   Their property settlement is bizarre.   Why did they ever get married?

Plaintiff was an alcoholic, and did some very bad things, and Judge Acker slams defendant for admitting the ex-wife’s drinking destroyed their marriage.

Separation was only to keep them legally safe from debts, but they still lived together.

The plaintiff gets the $4000 she paid for the car for ex-husband.   I don’t like two purjurers get rewarded for lying to the divorce court several times.   

“Where is My Money?”-

Plaintiff received a settlement, loaned $7500 to defendant.    Defendant says it was an investment, and plaintiff wanted to do barter to reduce the debt.   Plaintiff received custody of his son back, and defendant somehow helped him do that, and also on child support (plaintiff had custody, but was still getting charged for support).    Plaintiff also helped defendant with his unemployment forms.

On a personal note, I really love defendant’s tie.  

Plaintiff says they are still friends, but he still wants his money right now.

Investment was to take a house down, and put a three flat or triplex up instead as rental properties. 

The judges agree to take $2500 of barter from defendant, so loan is now $5,000

$5,000 to plaintiff

Rerun, 2022,  “Drama Queens”- (Botez vs. Tait)

Plaintiff and defendant lived together for years.   Plaintiff and defendant met at a drag show, both perform in San Francisco (I’m not sure that’s all accurate, at least defendant is a performer).     

They broke up, and plaintiff wants $5,000 for various loans.  The total left unpaid is $5060, but he did repay her about $4,000 Plaintiff said she gave him money for posters, and flyers for shows.   Plaintiff says she gave him $2000 in 2018 (on an Apple credit card), and bought hearing aids for defendant, $1600, on another credit card.     Defendant hasn’t paid anything towards the hearing aids, but towards the $2,000 Apple credit.

Defendant says plaintiff was infatuated with him, she admits to some kind of relationship, maybe just romantic and emotional on her part.   Defendant says plaintiff is very good at balance transfers, and juggles her debt. 

Plaintiff did violate defendant’s privacy.   Defendant says he’s sober now.

Plaintiff receives $5,000, for the agreement defendant signed right before he moved out.

And spending thousands on redoing the hangar, and Sarah's office, when they don't have a finished house is ridiculous.     They should have gone full bore on the house, and finished at least half to live in, then done the office and the hangar.   They should have rented an RV or two when they were living in the garage.   Actually, they didn't need RVs to live in since they had rental houses for months, so finishing the half of the house would have made so much more sense.  

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

This week’s schedule has 2012 episodes for the 5 pm slot in my time zone, which are the usual episodes if you only have one hour of JJ daily.  I remember everyone of these so far.  However, starting Monday the 10th, back to 2017 episodes.)

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Doused with Gasoline -Plaintiff Ashely Clonch suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Daniel McCracken for damaging  her car’s paint, and pouring gasoline around her house.    Plaintiff and defendant were shacking up, she sold her 1990’s BMW, and bought a Dodge Caravan for $1300, there is dispute over which litigant paid for the car.   Defendant has an air duct cleaning business, and plaintiff hasn’t worked outside the home for 9 years.    Plaintiff claims the $1200 (he says $1300), came from her mother, and selling her BMW. 

 Defendant admits he poured gasoline on the minivan, damaging the paint, but title isn’t in his name, so he’s not getting the car.   Plaintiff suing defendant for pouring gasoline on her car, and damaging the paint. Plaintiff wants $800 for the paint repair, on a car bought for $1200 or $1300.

JJ gives plaintiff $100 for the paint damage.  Plaintiff also wants a bedroom set back.  When plaintiff starting shacking up with defendant, she took the bedroom set, but couldn’t get it back after the fight.  Plaintiff also had a protection order, and a police standby to supervise move out, plaintiff took pictures of the furniture, but didn’t take it.    Defendant says the bedroom set, and everything else is in his garage. (This happened in Charleston, SC).  

Defendant claims he only poured gas on ground around the car.  For the restraining order they both appeared in court, and judge granted plaintiff a 1-year restraining order. 

JJ gives plaintiff $100 for car damage, and $1500 for the furniture. 

Pit Bull vs. Bijon –(It’s Pit Bull vs. Bichon, not Bijon) Plaintiff/ Bijon owner Yashar Ahmadpour suing defendant/Pit Bull owner Josephine Carig for vet bills, and his medical bills after an attack near the dog park.   BooBoo the Bichon was savagely attacked by defendant’s pit bull. 

Plaintiff says the Pit Bull ran up, and grabbed little Boo Boo up in its jaws and shook the poor dog like a chew toy.    They were on the outskirts of the non-leashed area, there is an off-leash dog park.   Plaintiff says defendant’s dog was off-leash, but it wasn’t the off-leash part of the park. 

Sorry JJ, if the dog is vicious, you don’t take them to a dog park, and let them off leash.  Plaintiff’s wife saw the attack and tried to get Boo Boo away from Cujo the Pit, and her hand was injured.

Vet bills are, $5 , and medical bills are $32 (with over  total is $569 to come).  (This happened in San Diego).

Sorry JJ, taking a Pit Bull to an off leash dog park isn’t just dogs being dogs, and if a 50 lb. plus dog ripped one of her Yorkies to shreds, she wouldn’t think it was “dogs being dogs”.  Plaintiff got the dog for protection. 

Plaintiff gets $2500 with punitive damages.

Second (2014)-

Domestic Violence or Victimized Father? -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Jonathan Plasky suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Lori Gabb for obtaining a false restraining order, and falsely claimed domestic violence and had him arrested.  Plaintiff was arrested for domestic violence.  

 The two litigants have a child together.    The litigants lived together, with her mother, plus defendant’s two older children by someone else.   Plaintiff and defendant’s mother argued, and plaintiff went to stay with a friend, and defendant told him she was breaking up with plaintiff.  

Defendant and mother put a chair under the front doorknob, so she claims she thought it was a burglar, and plaintiff broke in.  Defendant says plaintiff went back to their bedroom, and they slept until the next morning, he was packing up to move out, and defendant called police and claimed domestic violence against plaintiff, and filed for a protective order.   This was to keep the mutual infant from plaintiff’s custody.  

JJ asks defendant if she ever filed against the other two fathers of her older children, for restraining orders to get self-help to get exclusive possession of the residence, and sole custody of the children.  JJ asks defendant if she filed the same restraining order allegations against the two fathers of her other two children, and the answer is yes.

Plaintiff doesn’t even need to testify. Plaintiff was a legal resident of the house.  Plaintiff can only see his son with supervised visitation after this all happened.

Plaintiff receives $1500 for attorney’s fees, JJ would have given him more if he had asked for more.    

JJ reams out the defendant for her behavior, and her smiling after the decision.

Pedestrian Meets Hood of Car -Plaintiff/injured pedestrian April Hart suing defendant /driver Teandre Cooksie-Jackson over a him hitting her with his car in a crosswalk.  Plaintiff had substantial hospital bills.  Defendant claims the plaintiff was at fault, and wants car damages.    Defendant didn’t have insurance at the time of the accident.

Police report says it was raining, but plaintiff says it started to rain after she was hit.  Defendant claims plaintiff stepped into traffic, and darted in front of him.   Plaintiff says she was in the crosswalk, and was in the middle when defendant hit her.   Plaintiff ended up on the hood of defendant’s car, and he wants $2,000 for the damages. 

If defendant had insurance, the plaintiff’s medical bills would have been paid for.   Defendant claims he can’t drive now, JJ doesn’t believe him, and I don’t either.

$5,000 to plaintiff.  Defendant’s ridiculous claim for $2,000 worth of damages to his uninsured car is dismissed, and he still says it’s plaintiff’s fault.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2012)-

Road Rage Cat Fight -Plaintiff Melissa Hill suing defendant Helen Evans assaulting her and damaging her car during a road rage incident.  Plaintiff claims she was dragged 30 yards while hanging out of a truck window during a fight with a fellow motorist.  Plaintiff says defendant reached in her car window, grabbed her by the hair, and pulled her out.  Defendant pled guilty to pulling the hair, and leaving the scene of an accident.  Defendant says “look at her hair, how could you not pull a head of hair like that!”.  (This was near Norman, OK, and Noble, OK).

This happened in Norman, OK (plaintiff is a banker, driving a Firebird), plaintiff says defendant cut her off, started brake checking her, plaintiff passed defendant, and defendant passed her and started brake checking her again.   Defendant was driving a 2000 Nissan pickup truck.     

Plaintiff says defendant and witness both were cussing her out, flipping her off.   When plaintiff drove home, defendant turned right from the left hand lane, and followed defendant home.   When plaintiff pulled over defendant rear ended her, while plaintiff was stopped, trying to call 911.   Window was down a little on plaintiff’s car, when defendant dragged her out of her car.  Plaintiff says defendant kept screaming about her dead children.  People came to help the plaintiff, and defendant left when people tried to get defendant’s license plate.   Defendant’s passenger and witness stayed in the truck the whole time. 

 Plaintiff’s iPhone fell into the defendant’s truck bed, and when plaintiff reached for the phone defendant took off, dragging plaintiff until she fell on the road.    Plaintiff’s tooth was injured, she has a lot of road rash.

Defendant says plaintiff was in instigator, and was mean to her.  

Sorry, JJ is right, stay in your car, and get away if you can.   Never get out of your car and confront anyone.   You can end up dead from confronting people.

Defendant followed plaintiff only to confront her.  Defendant claims plaintiff “destroyed her car”.  There is no way that a Nissan pickup will be damaged, or as defendant says ‘destroyed’ by minimal contact with a small car.  Defendant pled guilty to assaulting plaintiff with force and violence.

Defendant witness Douglas Real, claims plaintiff turned right from the left lane in front of the defendant.   Witness says plaintiff broke the truck door handle, but plaintiff says she never touched anything but the truck bed to retrieve her phone. 

Sadly, defendant was a school teacher for almost 30 years.    Plaintiff says she already received treble car damages and defendant paid $500 deductible, judge gave her treble damages, so $1500. 

Plaintiff receives $4,000. (She got her iPhone back).  Defendant on hall-terview says plaintiff “posts on FB when she gets a new pair of shoes”, so what?  

Second (2012)-

Racecar Collision -Plaintiff Jennifer Landrum suing defendant Jeffrey Hannum for an accident outside the pit area of a race track, and wants $5,000.    Plaintiff was coming out of the pits, when defendant hit her.   Plaintiff says defendant has no valid license, and shouldn’t have been driving.   Stepfather and husband both testify for the plaintiff.   She’s an amateur, pays to race.  Plaintiff has her arm in a sling, but from a household accident, nothing race related.  Plaintiff drove out of the pits, when defendant hit her on pit road, and did a hit-and-run.      After the accident plaintiff’s husband Mr. Shaw,  came to see if she was OK.   Plaintiff admits she saw defendant coming, but still turned onto pit lane.

Defendant is part of his cousin’s pit crew.  Defendant says plaintiff couldn’t see her because of his witness’s motorhome.    Witness is a member of another pit crew.  Another pit crew member saw the wreck, saw defendant on pit road, and says she saw plaintiff just pull out in front of defendant.

Stepfather testifies, but he wasn’t at the track until after the accident, but took photos.  (Is stepfather falling asleep?   It looks like it).   (This was in Strasburg, CO or however it’s spelled). 

Obviously this was plaintiff’s fault.  She admits she saw defendant, and pulled out anyway.  Defendant’s damages were $5900 to his car.    

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Defendant receives $5,000.

Teenage Joy Ride Wreck -Plaintiff Jessica Ontiveros (mother of passenger Alissa, sister-in-law to defendant) suing defendant Elana Orozco for wrecking plaintiff’s truck.   Alissa is the passenger, 13-years-old.   Alissa was learning how to drive, she’s 13, and can’t have a license until 17.   Alisa’s aunt is Elana, and her mom and truck owner is Jessica.    Jessica, mom to Alissa lets her 13-year-old drive around town, claims she only does it when Jessica is in the truck and supervising.  

Plaintiff says defendant took her daughter driving, and defendant and aunt Elana both lied to plaintiff about hitting a deer.   Jessica is mother of seven, and is clueless.   

Plaintiff blames the defendant, but it’s what the mother lets the child do. 

I hope everything is dismissed.

However, JJ will give some money to plaintiff.   Daughter hit some small pines, and in someone’s yard. 

$2500 to plaintiff, minus $1000 because teen shouldn’t have been driving.   

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

I just saw a commercial for TPC, saying Thursday's episode is 2 May 2019 "Nightmare Neighbor", Season 22, Episode 119.  Where the upstairs condo neighbor screams and rants constantly,  recaps start on 132,   Irina, the exorcist clone upstairs neighbor scares me, and she's only a person on a screen.   

 I can't imagine having to live with her wailing and screaming.    The good news is someone last time this aired says she was a phlebotomist in Russia, or wherever she came from, and no one thinks she could possibly be employed drawing blood on helpless patients here.    I swear we had more disccusion of this one, but I can't find it right now. 

[Hot Bench - General Discussion]

New 3 Oct 22, "Kitchen Chaos" (Sorkin vs. Zelonka)

West Hollywood contractor was supposed to remodel a kitchen, and move washer / dryer location.   Contractor said he could do the kitchen, but didn't have permits or expertise to move the laundry.   Defendant fired plaintiff, and then claimed over $9k from plaintiff's bonding company.   Defendant received $9700 from the bonding company, and plaintiff has to repay the bonding company, or lose his bonding, and his contractor's license. 

I dislike both litigants.   I think plaintiff isn't a good contractor, but defendant kept changing his mind about what he wanted, moving locations of appliances.   Defendant claims plaintiff ruined his plumbing, electrical, water damages to floors, and should be paid a total of $17,000 for the damages, (he claims he's owed $8,000 more).   

Defendant claims plaintiff wanted to move the laundry location, but plaintiff says defendant wanted it.   Defendant claimed for bad work against plaintiff's bond.   Plaintiff is suing the defendant for fraud in claiming the bonding company.   

I'm getting tired of both sides saying the other side is lying.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant case dismissed.   This case has been going on in different forms for four years. 

Rerun, "Party Girls" 2022   (Rudolph vs Botzet . )

Plaintiff and defendant were roommates, and co-workers.   Plaintiff gave defendant rent money for her share, and defendant gave her boyfriend the money, never paid the landlord, so the two were evicted.    Defendant and boyfriend were on the lease, plaintiff and her adult daughter moved in paying $500 each.  Boyfriend only stayed over, and stayed with his family the rest of the time.   

Plaintiff spent 3 days in jail, over a suspended license issue.   Defendant also claims plaintiff stabbed defendant's air mattress too.  Plaintiff was in hospital for 10 days, and took her on a suicidal hold.   Both litigants were regular drinkers too.   

Defendant moved out 1 June, and on 24 June the police showed with the marshals, and said if she didn't pay $5070 that plaintiff and whoever else was there would be evicted.   Plaintiff and daughter were not on the lease.   

Plaintiff was evicted, she wasn't on the lease.   Plaintiff claims defendant took the windows out to get into and out of the house too.   

Plaintiff paid the rent charges back, and is still living there, and paying rent, and month-to-month, but without a lease.  Lease still is in defendant's name.   

Judges say plaintiff should sue the defendant's ex-boyfriend for the purloined rent. 

Verdict is for plaintiff for the rent she had to make up because defendant and boyfriend didn't pay the rent.  Plaintiff receives $5000.

[Farmhouse Fixer - General Discussion]

On the 1970's house, I suspect that the homeowners have a ton more input than they let on.  Some homeowners have terrible taste, and I bet Jon and Kristina have very little leeway with anything.    I think there was only so much he could change on the house, and I think the buyers made a huge mistake buying it.    Everything looked very cheap inside before, and I wonder if they had the electric, plumbing, etc inspected?    I wondered about the quality on everything on that house by the original builder.   

If I was looking for a house in that price bracket, I wouldn't have touched that house.   I think the cheap finishes indicate poor construction throughout. 

Tonight's new episode, "Knight Moves" Moving a 110-year-old house his family has owned for 20 years. across the road.  From the historic preservation area, to the unregulated area. (I guess this is one of the rules from the historic land preservation group, 1 house per property, linked above to Boston magazine).  After he has a company move the house across the road, Jon's going to move the kitchen.    The new kitchen won't have windows, I hate that.   I hope they repaint the green exterior.   

I like the new kitchen, the old one was so 70's hideous.   I like the yellow front door, but I would prefer the house exterior to be dark blue or anything but green.  I also can't stand Jon's mother's house exterior, dark purple.  I like the living room.    

I like the Boston Gardens seats in the mud room.   The floating duck house is cute. 

I also wish that the fact that he's color blind wasn't a running joke.  It's not funny, even though he seems to think it is. 

The property Jon lives on was purchased by his mother in 1999, and he bought the farm from her in 2015.    That land is under the historic preservation society mentioned in the Boston magazine article linked in a post from a while ago.  You can only have 1 residence on the property, so the house that was moved had to be either relocated, or torn down.     Jon's mother moved across the road on a separate property that he bought for her, but that one isn't in the preservation area, so they can move the green house there.  According to the magazine article he originally wanted to move his farmhouse further back from the road, and that started the problems with the preservation group.

I'm confused about the Banana Phone which they didn't explain. Is it a real Banana or if it looks like a banana, big deal, it's just a novelty phone.

They called it a banana phone, but it's actually a blue-tooth device you pair with your phone.   (By the way, I have no idea how that works.)  It's just a novelty item, and will sell a few, and then disappear.  

With the medical kit, the diabetics, or others who use injection kits, they only would need a day or a week of sharps in the container in the kit, and would empty into a regular home sharps container.   So, they only need space for a few needles for the day.

She's the one, and the second show with Phil was almost as bad.  

[Fixer Upper - General Discussion]

I agree about the black tile and soap scum, unless you have some kind of water filter, or very soft water.   I don't know what the water is like in Waco, but some of my  relatives live about 150 miles north of there, and their water is so soft that there are no water spots. 

The Fixer Upper: the Castle starts Friday 14 October, 9 pm Eastern, 8 pm Central.   They're only 30 minute episodes.

I wonder how long ago this was filmed.   I'm betting a year or 18 months ago.   

[House Hunters - General Discussion]

Today's OWN reruns, mostly 2015, must have a theme of "Really annoying people, who should get separate houses from their partner".   No one agrees about anything.  The couple looking in Iowa, she wants a southern colonial.  He needs room for his red British phone booth (that phone booth is too small to be real).     The couple on the rerun before this were looking near Tampa, that scares me for them.    There will be a couple of 2011 episodes too.
