First (2014)-

Dad Calls Police on Daughter -Plaintiff /daughter Natalie Jones suing defendant/dad Nathaniel Jones for wrecking two of her cars.   Then daughter was driving dad’s car.   Dad titled a Volvo in her name, and dad was driving the car, and he wrecked it.     When dad was driving the Volvo, daughter was driving the truck.    Dad promised to buy or pay for another car for daughter.  

Daughter bought and was driving a Dodge Stratus, and she was driving a Toyota Tundra when she needed air conditioning.    Dad was driving the Stratus, and wrecked it, titled in daughter’s name, and that car was junked.   Dad bought another junky car, then wanted the Toyota back.     When daughter moved out, she took her father’s truck with her. When daughter moved out, she took the Toyota Tundra, when she refused to return it, the father called it in as stolen.   A warrant was issued for the truck.

Father wanted daughter to move into an apartment with her little kid, dad saw boyfriend’s car outside the apartment, and father wanted boyfriend gone.   When daughter, boyfriend, and kid moved out she took the Toyota Tundra with her.    

Unfortunately, plaintiff was driving the Toyota, with the nannied kids, when the warrant was served.    Daughter bought another car.  Daughter wants some value from the two cars the defendant wrecked.

Total cost of Dodge and Volvo was $1800.   Junked price for the Dodge was $200.

Plaintiff gets $1600 from father.

Voicemail Vengeance -Plaintiff Daniel Stein is suing defendant Jeffrey Green ex-husband of plaintiff’s girlfriend, and father of her 7-year-old, for filing a false restraining order, and plaintiff had to hire an attorney.    Defendant claims the plaintiff tried to run him over on several occasions.    Apparently, if defendant is telling the truth, then plaintiff needs car aiming lessons, and maybe a stronger bumper.     Defendant claims plaintiff left a nasty, threatening message.

Plaintiff, defendant, and girlfriend live in the same house with the 7-year-old child.  Plaintiff left a nasty voice mail message, about the cell phone mother gave the 7-year-old on defendant’s machine.    Defendant is 67, has the 7 year old, and two others 34 and 38 years old, and JJ tells him he’s too old to have a 7-year-old.    

JJ points out plaintiff is not a step father, or husband to the girlfriend’s kid, and he needs to butt out.  

Plaintiff butted in to the open school night for defendant’s kid, and that started everything.  That’s when JJ again says that it wasn’t plaintiff’s place to show up at the kid’s school event, Open-School Night. 

Defendant says plaintiff tried to run over him, but only has a card with an incident number.    Plaintiff says the girlfriend (ex of defendant, and kid’s mother) reported defendant for child abuse.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Incriminating Facebook Photo -Plaintiff Cynthia Santacroce suing defendants for  Dean Gray  (ex-boyfriend) and former landlord, Gabriel King. For stolen property, dog-care expenses, stolen property and libel.    Plaintiff claims there was a bedroom set that she should have been paid half for, but she didn’t purchase it.     Plaintiff claims defendants trespassed into her rented house, photographed alcohol and pill bottles and posted it online.    Defendant Gray posted the pills and booze on his FB briefly, and took them off.  The only identifying information is plaintiff’s name posted on the medication bottle labels.   JJ can’t read them. 

  Plaintiff claims she just had a tooth pulled.  Property is defendant Gray’s, he keeps the dog (already given back by the court, and not able to be re-litigated).    Then, plaintiff claims Gray grabbed her, threw her down, and she filed an assault report.   Gray had an existing assault warrant, so he was arrested.  

Then defendant King took the car keys from plaintiff to keep her from driving drunk again, and then plaintiff punched him in the stomach.   Then, plaintiff’s 911 call claiming Gray assaulted her is played, and plaintiff sounds slurred.     911 says ‘pushed me’, not assaulted, grabbed, or thrown down.  

Defendant spent almost 30 hours in jail before charges were dropped, and he wants $1200 for the effects of the assault by plaintiff.   JJ dismisses the $1200 for King (my opinion totally unfair).  

There was a cite-and-release order on King, but he was arrested anyway.  Unfair of JJ, again.

JJ will give defendant King nothing.

$1500 to defendant King, because the arrest was because of the plaintiff’s call.  Plaintiff case dismissed.  Plaintiff claims in the hall-terview that she’s going to AA meetings, is in recovery, and I don’t believe a word she says.    I just hope she stopped driving drunk and high with her kids in the car.

Scissors vs. Shoes -Plaintiff Tracie Fletcher suing defendant (her sister) Sharie Anderson for cutting up her shoes with scissors.   Plaintiff looked at the stuff left behind in closet at parent’s house, and talked to defendant about picking the stuff up.   After getting the message, defendant didn’t pick the stuff from the closet up, so plaintiff got rid of it, and defendant went ballistic with the scissors.    Father (plaintiff’s witness) says when defendant came to pick her stuff up, she cut up plaintiff’s shoes with scissors, and he was injured trying to take the scissors away from defendant daughter. (this was in the Bronx, NY).

Plaintiff said bag had been taking up room in that closet for three years.   JJ says plaintiff had no right to throw away the stuff, only her parents did. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2017)-

Quick!  Take This Homeless Baby?!-Plaintiff mother Carla Johnson, and stepfather Larry George are suing mother's adult daughter, Valencia Carroll for destroying their TV, and vandalizing their car.     There was an argument, and defendant went off, and caused damages, but defendant blames it on stepfather.   

Before this argument, defendant's homeless friend had a baby, and defendant wanted mother to watch baby for a few hours.   But mother/plaintiff said defendant wanted her to watch baby long term, and mother said only if it was done legally through the court.  Mother has a two year old also.    Defendant claims the friend/baby's mother is homeless, and can't keep the baby.   Daughter claimed social security card and birth certificate for baby were lost during eviction.  Daughter can't have roommates in her program apartment, so friend couldn't move in with her.   Daughter is on disability. 

Stepfather said he wasn't going to take care of baby, so stepdaughter defendant and friends could go out and party.     During the argument between mother, stepfather, and defendant, mother claims defendant destroyed her TV, and damaged her car.  Defendant says stepfather pushed her into the TV.   Mother says daughter punched the TV.    This was with the homeless friend and baby in the house too.    Defendant claims stepfather actually damaged the car.   Mother says her daughter is a liar.   Mother says when she got to the parking space, daughter had already vandalized the car.  Daughter admits she ripped off the car's windshield wiper, and hit stepfather with it.   Stepfather says daughter ripped off the windshield wiper, and is banging on the car, hit the stepfather with the wiper, and bit him.   

$2100  to plaintiff for the TV, and the car damages.

Single Mother Mayhem?-Plaintiff Chloe Early suing former friend defendant Chelsea Escobar for return of security deposit, and moving expenses.   Litigants each are both Sainted Single Mothers of One (SSMO) child each, and moved into an apartment together.    Defendant says she was moving out of her mother's place because the dad or step dad had a heart attack, and mother didn't want extra people in her home.      Plaintiff claims defendant said defendant's sister was going to take pictures of defendant's drug paraphernalia, and send it to DCFS, CPS, whatever it is.   

Plaintiff and child were living in the master bedroom, and defendant wanted to move her boyfriend in, and defendant demanded the master bedroom for defendant and her love muffin.     Plaintiff said no to the move in idea, and the kerfuffle started.   Defendant is counter suing for unpaid rent, utilities, damages.   

Defendant has cell phone photos of damages, blamed on plaintiff.   Defendant claims plaintiff stole her laptop, but no police report or proof, so it's thrown out.   In Hall-terview, plaintiff says defendant is a druggy, and had random men over all of the time.  

Plaintiff receives $1400 for her security deposit. minus $130 for unpaid rent for 5 days =$1270 to plaintiff

Second (2017)-

Go Find Yourself Another Harlequin Great Dane (aka Harlequin Great Dane Rescue?! )-Plaintiff Billee Hirsch suing former neighbor, Kara Pedroni for the return or value of a Great Dane, and punitive damages for having the dog spayed.   Counter claim if dog is awarded back to plaintiff is board for taking care of the dog.    Plaintiff paid $1200 for the two month old dog, in 2014.   Plaintiff had a Staffordshire Terrier, and Great Dane for a few months.    Then plaintiff moved in with her boyfriend six weeks after she bought the dog (2015), and his Pit Bull didn't like the puppy, and plaintiff gave dog to defendant to dog sit.   Defendant had the dog spayed, because she wasn't going to have a 110 lb dog in heat in her house.

After two years, defendant still has the dog,  Plaintiff claimed she paid defendant for dog food.    Defendant says plaintiff paid no bills for the dog.   Over two years, plaintiff claims she visited dog every two weeks.   Plaintiff says she was waiting for a settlement for her father's estate, and then would get her own home, and get the dog back.    However, plaintiff had her own place when dog was 10 months old or so, but never got the dog.    Defendant has taken the dog to the vet for shots, treatment, and spaying.    Defendant said plaintiff's cell phone was disconnected, and that's the only way she could contact plaintiff. 

Defendant says she received a bag of food twice in the two years, and says she only saw plaintiff twice in two years.    

Defendant keeps the dog.    Plaintiff told to get another dog.  She only had the dog for six weeks, and almost never visited, or brought food.     I'm betting she only wanted the value of the dog, because she wanted a breeding animal, and defendant spayed the dog. 

Plaintiff gets nothing. 

Judge Judy Shares Her Husband's Approach to Telemarketers (aka Whatever You Do...Don't Answer the Phone!" )-Plaintiff Judy Dietzler suing former business partners John Toth and Carolyn Leonard (Carolyn Leonard is a retired psychotherapist), for the return of money, and jewelry.    Plaintiff received a phone call from the male defendant, promoting a telemarketing investment business, and she was dumb enough to do that.   On a bizarre note, plaintiff actually works for Idaho, as a Consumer Advocate.  

 (JJ's husband tells the telemarketers where to go, and how to get there, I really like Judge Jerry)).    Defendants talked plaintiff into joining their pyramid scheme, where the idiot makes money by conning other people into joining the pyramid scheme.   Plaintiff whines because she was never paid for cheating other people that she recruited into the scheme.  Plaintiff's first and only sale was for $15,000.  Defendants want training costs, and making false allegations.     

Plaintiff didn't have enough cash, and some jewelry for collateral.  Plaintiff paid $4,000 cash, and the jewelry.   The product was digital downloads teaching you to make money online, by getting people into the business (pyramid scheme).   Defendant says they sell digital licensing franchises.    

(In my opinion, plaintiff joined the scheme, recruited others to join the scheme, and that makes her a criminal.  She did not come to court with clean hands.   I wouldn't have given the plaintiff a penny back.)   Defendant claims plaintiff didn't pay him anything, but paid his partner $3500 cash, and the jewelry.

As JJ says, plaintiff was stupid, and is lucky to get her money back.  The two defendants split the $3500, and never paid the commissions to the plaintiff for recruiting other suckers.   

$3500 to plaintiff.   Plaintiff gets her jewelry back from the wonderful Officer Byrd in the hall-terview.   

(My telemarketer story is I was at my last job, and we had a lot of international students.   Then some telemarketer called from India, probably Mumbai (maybe Sumit from 90 Day Fiance?), and I asked him to wait a second, and told the officer from India about the situation.    He took the phone, and started talking to the man in Hindi or one dialect, and you could tell the officer was not happy.    The telemarketer hung up, and the officer said the man wouldn't be calling back again, ever.    I've been known to tell others that called my office (I worked for the federal government) that a Predator drone with a Hellfire missile was in their future.  However, I really couldn’t send an armed drome after them). 

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

2018 rerun, "Car Kick Crisis" (I actually saw this one years ago). 

Case 1-Plaintiff stopped for defendant to cross to Dunkin Donuts, and when defendant didn't throw herself on the hood of plaintiff's car to thank plaintiff for allowing her to cross.   Plaintiff claims after she passed defendant, she stopped her car in the middle of the lane, got out and demanded a thank you.     Defendant says plaintiff didn't stop when she was yelling, and then plaintiff got out of her car, and claims the plaintiff threatened to beat her up.  Defendant escalated by saying "go ahead and kick me". 

Levin says "Judge ain't gonna glaze over this" (I really want to scream at Levin today).       

Plaintiff claims defendant kicked her car. Then defendant goes into the Dunkin, locks herself in the bathroom and calls 911.    JM says photo looks like a dent caused by a kick mark. Both litigants claim it's their first arrest.   Defendant claims before this confrontation happened, that two women she didn't know jumped her in a parking lot.   Defendant claims she didn't kick the car, or doesn't remember doing anything awful. 

Plaintiff wants payment for the damages, lawyers fee and time off from work. Defendant wants payment for two therapy appointments related to this incident, and the previous assault.  

Decision for plaintiff $2,016 for car damages , defendant case dismissed. 

Case 2-Plaintiff says defendant former roommate didn't pay the rent, and defendant's incontinent dog pooped and peed everywhere in the house.   Defendant says dog only pooped and peed when plaintiff locked dog in a hot room, and left dog.  Dog was supposed to go to defendant's barber shop, but defendant left the dog home. 

Plaintiff wants unpaid rent.   Also, damages from defendant's dog, who ripped out the doorjamb, and lots of drywall ripped.   Chewed the door knobs, chewed the drywall, ate the curtains, pooped and peed everywhere.   So, I'm calling the dog "Cujo" from now on.    Cujo the Pit Bull, as usual.  Fortunately, the plaintiff and wife didn't have kids, so they're not exposed to Cujo. 

Defendant never picked his stuff up, and it's still in the room and he still owes rent for that.  

Defendant has three days to pick up his stuff, or plaintiff can sell them after 72 hours pass.

Plaintiff gets $1,000 rent, and damages $3,100, total of $4100. 

In the hall-terview defendant claims the door knob damages weren't his dog's. 

Case 3-Plaintiff claims defendant side swiped her car, agreed to pay for damages, and didn't pay.   So, plaintiff will submit to her insurance company, and wants $2178.   

Defendant, as usual, claims his newly bought General Lee dodge didn't hit her car. 

Plaintiff claims defendant was in the left lane, she was going the same direction in the right lane, but stopped, and claims defendant sideswiped her entire driver's side.

Plaintiff's car is really damaged.   Defendant buffed his out. 

Plaintiff receives $2178 for car damages.

I agree.  They have a couple photos of a wedding on the AirBnB listing:

There is no way every person in attendance Ubered or rideshared.  Where did they put all those cars?

I bet they park elsewhere, and have buses to the venue, and if they have the reception off site, they get picked up and transported there.    Unless they have catering on site, or allow outside caterers.   I just wonder where all of the wedding vendors park?   And where the tent was put up at?

I grew up in Baltimore City and it's a shame what that city has become.  Abandoned houses everywhere and crime is a major problem.  Good luck with buying into those areas.

Have to wonder how many fathers there are; three children with a wide range of ages.

I wondered about that too, and how anyone affords the house prices.  15, 5, and 1 years old.   I wonder if any were with the boyfriend? 

The first house basement bar was hysterical.   If you're tall enough to bartend, or drink at that bar, then you'll probably hit your head on the ceiling. 

Second could work with the splitting of the one bedroom into two.    Third one on busy street, will be wonderful on snowy days, it will get plowed and sanded first. 

I figured she would get the vintage house #2.  A total money pit.

The show broadcasting from London on Monday seems crass and exploitative.   Besides, Mika can kill the King's English just as easily from the studio as she can there.

I agree, going to England for Monday's events is a ridiculous idea.   If Mika mispronounces enough, and if Joe blovates enough, we may have a resurgence of the Revolutionary War.

GEICO has a tradition of running their funny commercials into the ground. The Geico Caveman commercial started out funny, but ended up having an Expanded Universe, including the terminally unfunny and quickly cancelled sitcom.

As for irritating commercials, I forget which company it is, but why did this tissue/paper towel company decide to feature a commercial starting a little boy with a huge snot bubble getting ready to wipe it on his sleeve? It's so gross to me. 🤢

I finally saw the snot bubble commercial.     Icky!!!

[Farmhouse Fixer - General Discussion]

I live in a subdivision with an HOA, and there aren't any rules about what you can paint your front door.   One resident is always complaining about some of the neighbors front doors, the light pink one, the gold paint (not mustard or yellow paint, but actual metallic gold paint).    However, you have to be right in front of the house to see the door that well.    I bet in the Farmhouse neighborhood, they all have red or some other color, and they decided that the turquoise front door was not matching.    I can't imagine worrying so much about your neighbor's front door color.     

I think the homeowners get a ton of input, and already selected the paint colors, tile, and whatever else the host and designer come up with, and that's how they know what they're going to do to the house, because the homeowner already selected almost everything, so they can order and get the supplies in too.  I suspect Jon and Kristina both have to try to work with the strict design choices the homeowners made before the filming ever started.

First (2014)-

Eyewitness Perjury?! -Plaintiff Jonathan Matthews and mom Gloria, are suing defendant Johnell West for car damages, claiming defendant hit their parked car.    Defendant claims she ran over something on the road, but didn’t hit anyone’s car, but the incident caused her car to swerve into an alley mouth.   Something was under defendant’s car, but she doesn’t know what it was.    Whatever defendant ran over broke her axle.   

Plaintiff was in the house, and someone came to tell him, Ms. Bolser, plaintiff witness, says defendant barreled down the street, hit plaintiff’s car, barely missed Bolser’s mother’s car.   First witness told plaintiff about the accident, and Bolser didn’t come forward until later.  JJ doesn’t believe the witness statement, and says statement was perjury.

Plaintiff got the information from defendant, and her car had to be towed.   Front tire is sideways.

Defendant had no insurance, it lapsed two days before.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Twice Kidnapped Puppy -Plaintiff Marilyn Keiss is suing Tiffany Spalding/ defendant for stealing her puppy.     Defendant had puppy for a couple of days, but couldn’t take care of it.  Plaintiff had puppy for 8 months, and after an argument with defendant, puppy was gone, it went to mediation, and defendant lost and had to return dog to plaintiff.   Two days later someone broke in through the sliding glass door, but only the puppy was gone, not a laptop, prescription drugs, and other valuables were in plain sight, but only dog was gone.   This happened after defendant confronted plaintiff, spit in her face, and lost at mediation over the puppy.

Defendant claims plaintiff had a textbook on CD and wouldn’t return it, so she used the key, and stole the puppy.     Then when they met to exchange the textbook, defendant claims plaintiff ripped the dog away from defendant, spit in defendant’s face, and other nasty things.   JJ suspects the defendant’s boyfriend burglarized the home the second time. 

Defendant says burglary and stealing the dog was her only option. Police can’t find the puppy.  (My guess is the dog was either dumped at an animal shelter far away from plaintiff’s home).

Defendant admits she burglarized the home to steal the dog once, and JJ says boyfriend and defendant did it the second time.

Plaintiff wants $5,000.  In the hall-terview, plaintiff says defendant is a convicted felon many times over.  My guess is plaintiff never saw the puppy again.

Second (2014)-

Hidden Camera Catches a Thief? -Plaintiff /landlord Ludmila Boiko suing defendant/former tenant Linda Byrum for identity theft.  They lived together for two months, and have been fighting in court for two years since.   Plaintiff has a video of defendant in plaintiff’s private quarters in the bedroom, stealing plaintiff’s items.   JJ doesn’t think the theft or property theft on camera is important.  Must be nice to be a multimillionaire.  Bet if you stole from JJ she would track you down like the policeman in Les Miserables (spelling).  

JJ won’t let plaintiff show the video of the defendant’s theft.   Video is finally shown, with defendant stealing mail from plaintiff, and identity theft.  

Defendant says she took a lot of photos of plaintiff’s documents in plaintiff’s room to protect herself.

JJ’s wrong, plaintiff can film in her own bedroom.   Plaintiff may be out of control, but I think somebody did steal her stuff.

JJ dismisses plaintiff case.

Unwed Parents Parking Ticket Plight -Plaintiff Dominque Hall suing defendant Leroy Cooper for boot-removal fees, and parking tickets.  Tickets were all defendant’s tickets.   Litigants have a child together, and were living together, but sometimes.

Plaintiff came out of work one day, to find a boot on her car.   Since she’s a co-owner of the car, and defendant doesn’t even know what planet he’s on, she’s the one the police went after.

JJ dismisses tickets when the two were together.   Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2017)-

Last Will and Testament Surprise- Plaintiff Thomas Reilly suing his cousin, defendant Anna Wells for legal fees due to false allegations by her.    Plaintiff's sister died in California, had cancer, and plaintiff and wife moved from Florida to California, However, plaintiffs are working on a contracting job in California, and still are, and didn't just move to help sister.    Plaintiff says he did move with the wife, to help the sister, and are originally from California.      (I hate plaintiff's witness/wife's hair bow).    There were six siblings of the sister and plaintiff.   Plaintiff and wife took care of the sister, for a long time.    

Then sister dies, and at will reading the sister left everything to the cousin/defendant, and plaintiff was made trustee to the estate for the cousin/defendant.   Plaintiff says defendant didn't like the way he handled the trust, and so plaintiff dropped out as trustee.    Plaintiff says estate went through four attorneys for the estate in six months, because defendant is hard to work with.  (If I would have been in plaintiff’s shoes, I would have refused to handle the estate).

After defendant got into the sister's condo, she claimed a lot of stuff was missing, and vandalized, so defendant put in a claim through the homeowner's insurance company.  Insurance adjuster said the police report says defendant names plaintiff as the thief.  (Plaintiff's wife is booted for butting in).

Plaintiff wasn't given a copy of police report, because he was named as the culprit by defendant.   Defendant has a copy of the police report, which says defendant said plaintiff ruined the sleep number mattress, and other items, said plaintiff is unstable and vindictive, and she didn't want criminal charges, just a police report for the insurance company.     Defendant also didn't want the police to contact the plaintiff either. 

Defendant received $16,000 from the insurance company, for a bicycle, purse, mattress, etc.,  (When the amount is read of the payout, the audience members gasp, and don't get told to be quiet).   However, as JJ points out, defendant paid for none of these items, but had a windfall from the insurance company.    That's also why she didn't want an investigation, but just wanted the report for the insurance company.  Defendant didn't even make the report to police until two months after the alleged theft.    I can't believe the insurance company paid off on the vandalism and thefts, no proof of purchases to equal $16,000, no proof of who stole, or vandalized anything, it could have been anyone, including defendant, someone else with a key, or anyone who knew the condo was not occupied.      

I don't see why the insurance company paid off on a theft, and vandalism where the defendant refused to file charges, wanted no investigation, and hadn't paid a penny for any of the items.    How does the insurance company pay someone for items she can't prove existed?    (On a personal nasty note,  I can see that the amount of facial work defendant had done has eaten up the money from the insurance.)  Defendant sold the condo for $407,500, net $120,000, plus the $16,000 for the insurance payout.  

Plaintiff and wife are contractors, and this could have seriously hurt his ability to get bonded, and have a contractor's license.   Plus a felony record disqualifies you for  lot of jobs.  I agree with plaintiff, it was all about the money.   Defendant is counter suing for her insurance deductible, car insurance, harassment, etc., which will be dismissed.   Defendant made a profit of $75k, plus the $16k, and is whining because she had to pay the condo/HOA fees, utilities.  

Plaintiff's case is that to clear his name with the insurance agency, he had to hire an attorney for $800.   

$800 for plaintiff for attorney fees.   

Silent Partner Rip-Off-Plaintiff Tina  Dunham suing former business partner/defendant Chris Uldall, over $1800 she calls a loan, and defendant said was a business investment that didn't pan out.  Loan was supposed to pay defendant's bills.   Defendant was also an ex of plaintiff's daughter.   

As usual, defendant claims it was a failed investment, not his fault, and plaintiff isn't getting her 'investment' back.  Defendant says business was to start flipping cars.  

$1800 to plaintiff.

 Second (2017)-

When Miniature Pinschers Attack!-Plaintiff Christina Hilling (dog owner) and Thomas Kohler Jr (dog walker) suing defendant Temmie Rosenthal for vet bills from defendant’s dog attacking  the dog plaintiff (Kohler) was caring for.   $1077 is the vet bill (cute little white, non-shaggy dog).   Defendant claims her dog didn't bite the plaintiff's dog sitting dog.   

Plaintiff was at dog park, and Felix, the victim, and defendant's Min Pin (a Min Pin isn't that big, I suggest a Manchester Terrier or some other possibly larger mix) attacked plaintiff dog Felix.    Defendant showed up at the vet clinic, but never paid anything.   Plaintiff has seen the attacking dog belonging to defendant on several other occasions.    Defendant's witness is now going to lie about seeing another dog bite the plaintiff's dog too.    

After lying to JJ and the court, defendant is very thirsty, and is drinking the Water of Dry Mouthed Liars.     The plaintiff's witness had two dogs at the park too, and plaintiff knew all of the dogs there at the park when the bite happened.    Defendant was yakking with her lying witness, ignoring her off-leash dog, and then showed up at the vet clinic after the plaintiff did. 

 As usual, defendant says her 100 lb. dog is a Service Dog, and some other dog bit the plaintiff's dog.

Plaintiff receives $1,077 vet bills. 

If You Like Me...Take Down Your Dating Profile-Plaintiff Jeffrey Graham Jr suing defendant over a plane ticket to L.A for defendant, Caroline Douglas.   Defendant and plaintiff met online, then once in person, and then defendant was going to meet her daughter the actress at an interview, so defendant could attend the interview with daughter.   Defendant called plaintiff saying she couldn't go to her daughter's interview in L.A., so he bought her a plane ticket.  Defendant is counter claiming for money she spent out of pocket, when plaintiff cancelled the plane ticket.   

Defendant claims she sent a text saying that someone she loaned money to years ago, didn't repay her, so she couldn't fly to L.A. for the daughter's interview.   Defendant says she never asked for the money from plaintiff, he offered to pay for the ticket to help her out.   Plaintiff said that he wanted her to remove her dating profile online, but she refused to.  

$613 for plane ticket that plaintiff paid.    Defendant is a disgusting grifter. 

Eviction Save-Plaintiff Carri Moore suing former neighbor for unpaid loan for rent after defendant, Teresa Aldhmour, was being evicted.   The Marshals were actually tossing her stuff out, so plaintiff got a money order for $2357 to the landlord to pay the unpaid rent, and defendant repaid $2,000.    Plaintiff wants the other $357 that wasn't paid.    Defendant claims the cashier's check cost $50 per $1000 (no it doesn’t).

The kicker is defendant finally did get evicted.   

$357 to plaintiff.

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

Apparently they're coming back in October.    

"Yelling About Yoga"  

Case 1-Woman was hired to teach yoga, at a place that teaches barre method.   PLaintiff was looking for a certification in yoga, to get her fitness career started.   

Unfortunately, plaintiff claims the defendant's studio teacher wasn't certified except under Yoga Alliance studios, standards, and then found out the instructors weren't certified.    Plaintiff started with barre classes, for $1250, and later yoga $3200, to get to certification.   Plaintiff claims she could work for the studio and work off the yoga hours at $16 per hour.   Plaintiff was teaching yoga and barre at another studio.  According to defendant plaintiff was still working off the hours, to equal $4450, at $16.00 an hour.    

Plaintiff heard that some people had sued defendant over the certifications.   Defendant sued two students for non-payment, one started crying in court, so that case was dismissed, and the other one the defendant couldn't find the contract, so it was dropped.    Plaintiff claims the instructors weren't qualified by Yoga Alliance standards of the number of hours (500) or a certain number of years of experience. 

Defendant says plaintiff is an actor, and other entertainment things, and plaintiff changed her mind about getting certified.   Defendant says plaintiff owes $1040, not the $5000 she wants.  

$1040 to defendant, plaintiff loses.  Of course, we all know the award is from the show funds.   And plaintiff gets certifications for the classes she completed.  

Case 1-PLaintiff rented terrible apartment from defendant, so he wants a percentage of the last four years of rent back, $3294, and plaintiff claims he was unhappy all 12 years he lived there.   Defendant says plaintiff is still living there, and not paying rent.  When defendant says she packed up her life to take care of her ill sister, the former landlady, plaintiff says the two women hated each other.  

Plaintiff says the roof leaked for years.  He wants to repaid for loss of use and enjoyment of his apartment.   Plaintiff says some housing advisory group told him that not being given another year lease means that the previous lease automatically renews, and that's not true.   

Defendant issues a written 3 day notice to pay rent to plaintiff, and JM says evict the plaintiff.   Defendant's realtor said selling the building will be easier with tenants on a lease, wrong.   Another realtor who knows nothing.   Plaintiff went to License & Inspections and four citations were filed against defendant.

This is when plaintiff says defendant and late sister hated each other.  He's despicable.  

JM tells litigants that not given a year lease means that the plaintiff is now a month-to-month tenant, and that defendant should go to the city court house, talk to the self-help desk for landlord-tenant issues, and file for eviction, after giving the notice required by Pennsylvania law (Philadelphia is the actual city).   

Decision is the two months of rent need to be included in the eviction action, and plaintiff gets nothing. 

Doug is so kind to defendant in the hall, and she tells him she's going to go forward with the eviction. 

Case 3 Annette Goode bought a POS car from defendant for $1500, and wants her $2237 (including the repairs, and the bribe)  back for the car.   Defendant says the Lincoln with almost 300k miles on it ran fine, and he's not giving her money back.   Plaintiff claims 'everything' was wrong with the car, she test drove it, but no mechanics inspection.  It was on Offer Up.     

Plaintiff paid the inspection station $50 extra to get the inspection passed (yes, a bribe).  Then, plaintiff claims the car was smoking, and falling apart, but defendant paid for a tune up (Cash App $150, but no receipt).   After mechanic says car won't pass inspection, plaintiff bribed the inspector $50 to pass.   Plaintiff claims she paid $317 to fix the car. Plaintiff's daughter received the $150 on Cash App from defendant. 

Plaintiff claims car is undrivable, heating, etc. 

"As Is", so plaintiff is SOL.  (Bazinga suppied the information to the original airing). 

I actually remembered this episode, and I remember very few of them from the 2018 season.   

[Halloween Baking Championship - General Discussion]

The lady with the gold headband (Maricsa Trejo from RIchardson, TX near Dallas) looked very familiar, but so many of the cheftestants appear on multiple baking competitions, so who knows.

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

The Smart Car case was funny, just because of everyone's remarks.     They stopped U.S. sales of Smart Cars a few years ago.      I don't understand how anyone can try to buy a Smart Car, without checking with their insurance company first for coverage.    

The storage unit case was very sneaky.   I wonder why the HRA was paying for the storage unit?  It wasn't even that litigant's stuff.   

The road rage case was bizarre.    I can't believe people still get out of their cars to confront people, it's a stupid idea, and very dangerous. 

Smart Cars are so small and relatively light, so they've been moved from a parking space to the sidewalk, or lawns, or flipped over.    I can't imagine my insurance company either refusing to cover one, or giving me an insurance price that would make me faint. 

[House Hunters - General Discussion]

I got a kick out of seeing the Baltimore rowhouses, and the single family.     The single family had a lot of room, and yard, but I didn't like the surrounding houses.   I had to laugh at the homebuyer wanting a fixer to save money, but then saying that doing everything would be too much time and money.     I don't think that house will ever be exactly what he wants.     

[Farmhouse Fixer - General Discussion]

New, "Old House by the Sea" an 1840's beachside home. Rockport, Massachusetts (near Gloucester) David and Belle, kids are avid sailors.  House is amazing from the outside, but the owners say it's pretty quirky.   After seeing the house tour, quirky is a great way to describe the house. 

Trying to leash train the goats is hysterical.

Front door is fabulous, great first floor, they want to refresh the living room fireplace mantel.   There's a funky pantry/storage room in the living room, playroom is quirky with eyeballs their kids threw up there years ago.  Dining room needs a little vintage work.   Kitchen is horrible, and since it's the side entrance (in New England, Jon says people use the side doors, not the front door).  There's a full bathroom behind the kitchen wall, it's also the laundry room.     I love their coffee table with the sand and sea shells in it. 

He wants to rip the old fireplace out, replace it with something authentic, fix the kitchen, gut the bathroom, with a mud room and a better door to the outside, and move the laundry and pantry to the unused playroom.  Cost is estimated to be $150k.    The lobsterman was so interesting. 

In place of the pantry / storage in the living room, Kristina wants to put a speak easy in there, with black walls, and trim, and maybe go up to the ceiling (I hate that idea). Jon says they'll run it by the homeowners before they do that.  The homeowners will agree, I disagree.  I'm guessing it's the homeowner's idea originally.   I hated the bar and liquor storage area.   The part where they put the booze, and supplies was so narrow, I bet everything will migrate out into the glassware area.  

Bathroom is white marble brick pattern, all the way to the ceiling, with a pocket door with glass and needs to be frosted for privacy.    

I like the blue front door.    The bathroom was spectacular, and I didn't hate the speakeasy, and dark living room. 

[House Hunters - General Discussion]

I would have bought the one with the huge garage for the studio, plus no HOA fees, and lots of room. 

I didn't like the townhouse, way too many levels, and stairs everywhere.  The idea that a kid would be on the lowest floor, so the partner could have his dance studio on the bedroom level was all wrong.

My guess is anything to get interest in their storyline, and to get signed for more versions of 90 day, and get more money. 

Jenny can't afford to move back to the U.S., even with TLC money.  Of course, who knows if the storyline about collecting her SS at 62 was true, and if the IRA or CD she cashed in was really the only money she had.   Plus she would have to buy another car.

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Salvaged SUV Scam? -Plaintiff  Shaunda Nohrer suing defendant Cortenay Davis for scamming her  over a car sold by defendant to plaintiff.    Plaintiff witness is husband Phil Noher.   This happened in Finneytown, Ohio. Plaintiff claims $2600 was paid to defendant. Ad was for a 2000 Ford Expedition, garage kept, one-owner, and price was $3,000 in the craigslist ad. Defendant claims it was her ex-husband’s title, and says the ad said ‘Salvage Title’, but plaintiffs dispute that.  

Car had to be inspected to have title changed to regular title from salvage title.   Plaintiff gave $2650, to defendant.   Defendant signed the title that day, when plaintiff paid for it.   Defendant claims plaintiff never gave her any money. 

Defendant claims plaintiff didn’t pay her, but they took car for inspection (unless it’s very different than my knowledge of salvage titles, it’s not just an inspection, but an in-depth inspection), and car flunked.  Plaintiff says she paid defendant, put new tires on car, had signed title, and the went to DMV, and car wasn’t able to be titled.     

Plaintiff took car back to defendant, and car is now in defendant’s driveway.   Defendant claims she was never paid for car, and that she told plaintiffs it was a salvage title.

$2600 to plaintiffs.

Dog Walking Attack -Plaintiff Jovonna Kingkade suing defendant Yolanda Wallace and Taylor Brown (Wallace’s son’s girlfriend). for their dog biting plaintiff’s dog.    Plaintiff’s boyfriend, John Speckman was walking two tiny dogs belonging to plaintiff, and boyfriend was walking the leashed dogs on regular leashes on the public sidewalk.   Then defendant’s dog attacked the plaintiff’s two tiny dog.  All dogs were leashed.

Defendant says she was across the street from apartment foyer where they all live, and claims plaintiff dogs lunged and bit the tiny dogs.  

JJ is claiming having the Maltese dogs on regular, not retractable, leashes was inadequate.    JJ is blaming the little dogs yapping at the Boxer caused the attack.

Plaintiff case dismissed.    Ridiculous decision by JJ.  

Second (2014)-

Vandalism Caught on Tape! -Plaintiff Denise Zack suing defendant Keever Czlapinkski for harassment, vandalizing and stealing her property.  Litigants are both residents of the same triplex apartment house.   He is accused, and shown on camera, of destroying her plants.    Defendant works for Department of Corrections in California.   Plaintiff has a restraining order on defendant, defendant actually moved out already.    On video, defendant is show going behind the apartment house, which is where plaintiff lives, and not his property.   He went to the back yard, and came back and destroyed her plants. And screaming at plaintiff. 

JJ was totally irrational on this case, and the dog attack on the previous episode at 4 p.m.    

BBQ grill was cabled and bolted to house, and defendant went out back with bolt cutters, shown on video, and then cutting cable, he says he cut the cable.    He says it was done to protect himself.  He admits to the vandalism, but claims it was justified.

(He’s a licensed psychologist! Apparently in San Diego now.)      

Plaintiff receives $50. 

Two Moms Sue One Child -Plaintiff Debra Allen and partner Stephanie Reedy suing, defendants Nicholas Reedy (son of plaintiff), and his girlfriend Taylor Jessee for an unpaid loan, unpaid rent, and for a playstation 3, suing for $1874.   Rent dismissed.    Reedy bought a car for $1000 for Nicholas, and she claims he only repaid $350.   Defendant Nicholas denies repaying the $350.  

Mother Allen claims son repaid her $350 for the loan, and Nicholas said it was for the loan, of course son denies this.   There’s a red stain on the carpet, and Nicholas claims his 17-year-old sister did it.  Mother says sister claims Nicholas’ girlfriend did the paint mark.   

Nicholas says he moved out, and wanted the Playstation, and mother gave it to him.

Then plaintiff Reedy wants to tell JJ about some therapy for their daughter, and a letter from daughter’s counselor. .  

Plaintiff case dismissed

First (2017)-

Felony Kickbacks?!-Plaintiff Kevin Maher suing former friend, and business associate, Christina Garnica for unpaid gardening, and legal fees.    Plaintiff is a private investigator, and defendant was a claims adjuster, and sometimes referred plaintiff business.     Plaintiff claims defendant said that all others adjusters she referred work to gave her kickbacks, and plaintiff refused to give kickbacks (plaintiff also said defendant wanted him to provide her with sexual services).    Defendant had plaintiff's gardener clean up a property for her, and defendant refused to pay gardener, and defendant wanted plaintiff to pay the gardener for her.     Plaintiff did pay the $400 for gardener, so the gardener wasn't working for free.    Plaintiff also paid a paralegal firm $400 to prepare paperwork to sue defendant over this $400.    Plaintiff told defendant's boss about the kickback scheme, and defendant was fired.   

Plaintiff also says things changed in their friendship after he made clear that he wasn't interested in her romantically.   Defendant did quid pro quo to have gardener/handy man do other work for her, and wanted plaintiff to pay the $400 to gardener / handyman. 

Defendant is counter claiming over a false termination.  (As the next post by CG says, only the company employing you can be sued for false termination, and at-will employees can be fired for almost any reason, or no reason).     Defendant can forget that, she was terminated for a good reason. 

$400 to plaintiff.        

Pomeranian Puppy Problem-Plaintiff Kelly Minister suing ex-boyfriend Devon Henderson for the return of her Pomeranian puppy.     When litigants were living together, a friend gifted them with the Pomeranian puppy.  After that the unhappy separation happened, and defendant took the puppy with him, and plaintiff would visit the puppy sometimes.   

Then defendant told plaintiff that if she paid him $1000 (she says $500) for the dog, he would give up dog to her.   Plaintiff claims she paid the $500 for dog to defendant.       Then defendant came and took the dog back after that.   Defendant claims plaintiff owed him $500 more, but plaintiff says she doesn't owe the money.    Defendant came and took the dog back, while ex was taking a shower.  (We all know exactly what was going on then too). 

Defendant brought his current girlfriend to court with him.   Girlfriend doesn't seem too thrilled about the shower story.      Then, the girlfriend says defendant gave the dog to her as a present. 

JJ tells defendant to return the dog to plaintiff, and then he'll get his expense and appearance money.   JJ is preparing an order to retrieve dog.   Defendant said that he won't give dog back, and JJ jumps all over him, and says he's getting no money from the show.   I wonder how this turned out?  

Case is recalled, to ream out looser defendant over the dog statement.   Defendant told to give the dog back to plaintiff, or he can walk home, and will not get appearance money.   I hope plaintiff got the dog back, but I doubt it.  Defendant threatens on national TV that he's going to break into plaintiff's house, and get the dog back.   However, defendant came from Spokane WA, and will get no ticket home or appearance money, and the friend who is watching the dog will surrender custody to a neutral person so plaintiff can get her dog back, and no money until then. 

Second (2017)-

Vicious Call to Ex-lover's Boss-Plaintiff Marli Massara, and her father, Michael Massara, are suing defendant Paul Rainbolt ((I'll call him Man Bun), for damaged property, and mutual property. 

 Defendant married his wife (she's in court), then shortly after he separated from wife, and started boinking plaintiff.   Plaintiff knew man was married, and had a small child, and bought a bunch of stuff for their mutual apartment.   While daughter was boinking Man Bun, he tried to fix plaintiff father's washing machine which did work after, and a grill, that didn't work .    Damages to grill and washer are dismissed.   

Paul Rainbolt (Man Bun) defendant says plaintiff woman bought small household items, shelf, home organizing stuff, picture frame, file cabinet, and her clothing.   Permanent shelving attached, so it's staying at the apartment, so that's dismissed.   Filing cabinet goes back to plaintiff.    (Man Bun's bleached pony tail/bun is ugly).    Man Bun claims the picture frame is with plaintiff, and the Apple TV is missing.  Defendant wants to be paid for a concert he had to leave, because he had to come home and deal with plaintiff's drama.  

After the break up, defendant claims plaintiff woman called his boss at the call center he works at, and made claims that defendant/Man Bun had an extensive criminal record.   the claims were that the defendant is a thief, and had numerous pending charges.     Defendant was suspended from the job, until the claims were investigated.     Plaintiff's idiot father claims his daughter didn't do this.      The phone number the call came from is Marli Massara’s phone (plaintiff).      

$5,000 to defendant for the 14 days of work he was suspended for because of plaintiff's false claims.  Plaintiff isn't getting anything back either.    

Roommate Roulette-Plaintiff/cousin Crystal Snow suing cousin/defendant Kayla Friesen for money owed for a security deposit.    The litigants moved in together, and as soon as plaintiff boyfriend got out of rehab, he was supposed to move in.   Defendant was going to have her new boyfriend move in too.    Defendant wants a half month's rent.   Defendant wanted the apartment for herself, so plaintiff moved out, and defendant's mother moved in.    Defendant sent a text message to landlady alleging plaintiff damaged apartment.    There is no record of text.

Plaintiff gets security back, and defendant can pay her own security deposit.     Defendant lies about when her mother moved in, but her stuff was moved in two weeks after plaintiff moved out.   

Defendant gets $150 half a month's rent, so plaintiff gets $645 (security deposit, minus the rent).  

[Good Bones - General Discussion]

District Co. is also about half bar.    So, as long as they allow take out cups, they'll do OK on the bar part.  

That's interesting about the building not selling.   So, they are doing the realtor's trick to keep the listing looking fresh, taking it off the market and putting it back on at a slightly different price.     It's interesting that it says short term rental history since 2017. 

Trulia says "This AirBnb has been running smoothly since 2017! 2/2.5 downstairs and a 2/1 upstairs with shared back deck and fenced in yard! Both units have their own washer and dryer and have been well maintained. This property would be a great addition to any investment portfolio or perfect option to live in one unit and rent the other. 2022 Has been the first year with BOTH units listed with AirBnb and is at 32K income through June."   

I find it stunning that something with that rental income isn't selling.  However, looking at the location, I wouldn't stay there at that price.   My guess is parking is behind the building, off of the alley.     The street doesn't look that walking friendly, I bet for most restaurants, coffee shops, etc., you'll have to drive or walk for blocks. 

They own a bunch of short term rentals, they've had it on their website for a long time. 

Is it next to that huge warehouse/headquarters?  There's something with vapor barrier around it right next door, and the other building is higher than the short term rental/sale house.  It's also priced more than double the neighborhood median. 

The market is cooling down.    

Unfortunately, Indiana is one of four states that makes it illegal for any city or county to limit short term rentals.

Child’s Dog Bite Marks Disputed -Plaintiffs Julia and David Burg suing defendants Elizabeth and Tanner Schultz for a dog attack on plaintiff’s 7-year-old son, Noah.   As usual, defendant says it didn’t happen, but if it did it wasn’t that bad, and blames the victim.    Defendant Tanner took their two dogs to visit his wife’s grandparents, and wife’s mother, who live close to plaintiffs.    Plaintiffs say black dog owned by defendants bit their son, want medical bills, and punitive damages.  

Noah testifies that he was riding his bike, and the dog ran out in the road and bit him on the leg.    Sister Ava didn’t see the bite happen, but saw the marks.   Bite didn’t break the skin, and the kids went home to tell the parents.   Two dogs weren’t on leashes.      Defendant claims he went home by 3 p.m., but grandmother’s caretaker said at 5:30 pm that Mr. Schultz just left.    

Medical bills are submitted for a small puncture wound, and dogs were quarantined for 10 days.   Wife wasn’t even there, and is the director of the defendants’ case.    Defendant wife says only one puncture, not four, but I see four.   Defendant also claims it’s not a dog bite. 

$987 medical, and punitive total $2000. (Hall-terview defendant woman claims nothing happened, plaintiffs say people in the neighborhood have had issues with defendants’ dogs before).

Show Me the Money -Plaintiff Joshua Sparks suing defendant Ryan Benniventall for the balance of payments on a Subaru WRX (Medford, OR).   Sale price was $24,500. KBB was $25,000 (Officer Byrd says car was worth $19,500) with different modifications making it more valuable.  

Defendant claims he got a loan for the purchase price, and creditor paid plaintiff’s loan at Sterling Credit Union off, but defendant has no proof.     Defendant’s loan company paid $22,100, still owing $2400 to plaintiff.   Defendant has no proof of what was paid. 

$2400 to plaintiff.   Car will cost almost $30k with interest.

Second (2014)-

Drunken Stupor Nightmare! -Plaintiff Christopher Cordrey suing defendant Jessica Craig, for damaging his apartment and car while she was drunk.   Both litigants were drunk.   Plaintiff says defendant was outside the house, covered in blood, his car had shattered windows, mirrors.   Defendant says she doesn’t remember a thing about that night.  

Plaintiff says they were both drinking, he went to bed, and the police broke his door down, and woke him up (he’s a very heavy sleeper).   When police asked him to look at his car, plaintiff says there was a trail of blood from the car to the front door of the apartment.  Plaintiff’s car windows were smashed,  mirrors ripped off, defendant’s laptop and purse were on top of his car, a fire extinguisher from the apartment was in the car too, with blood all over.   Defendant claims other unknown people trashed the car, and she did nothing to the car.

Police report says defendant was drunk, and under other drug influences too.   Report says defendant said she was mad at plaintiff, and she admitted she vandalized the car.   

Plaintiff receives $1,151 to fix the car.

Dirt Bike Bonfire! -Plaintiff Richie Trimble suing defendant Graham Joseph for damaging his dirt bike in a bonfire started by defendant.   Plaintiff Trimble rents a garage space to work on bicycles and motorbikes.   Defendant looks out of it, and JJ thinks he’s on something chemical. I think both litigants look stones.        Plaintiff pays $400 a month to leaser, plaintiff is a sublet to actual renter.     Defendant rents another bay in the garage area. 

Defendant started the fire in the west courtyard in a burn barrel, in the common space.  Defendant was drinking, not plaintiff.     Plaintiff’s dirt bike was parked in front of his garage space, and claims dirt bike was ruined by the defendant’s fire.   There was only one fire in the garage area that day. 

Defendant’s defense was plaintiff shouldn’t have parked there.

$1100 to plaintiff

Wedding Ring Theft?-Plaintiff Awni Safadi is suing  defendant, his  younger brother Joshua Goff.   Plaintiff is suing defendant for home damages, damaging his motorcycle, and stealing plaintiff's wife's wedding ring.   Defendant was kicked out by mother from family home, for smoking pot, having parties in her home, and plaintiff took the brother in.    Plaintiff was injured in a motorcycle wreck, was in the hospital, and plaintiff and wife came home from the hospital after three days, and found dog stuff on the rug, his motorcycle spray painted, TV broken, other spray paint vandalism, and the wife's wedding ring had been stolen, and pawned by defendant.   Defendant graduated from alternative high school.  

Defendant says house was trashed when he came home, and blames it on plaintiff's enemies.   Defendant pawned the plaintiff's wife's wedding ring.  Plaintiff's witness is the pawn shop owner, saying the date and time the wedding ring was pawned, and paid defendant $900.  Defendant says the ring pawn was to pay for his cell phone the plaintiff broke.  However, defendant pawned the ring a few days before the phone was taken by plaintiff. 

Defendant signed it was his ring when he sold it to the pawn shop for $900, and it wasn't reported stolen when it was pawned, and resold.   Defendant claims there was no party, and he's absolutely lying.  The ring was never reported as stolen, and the vandalism wasn't either.   Ring was pawned the day after plaintiff returned from the hospital, and it was pawned by defendant.   If ring was never reported as stolen to the police, then how did pawn shop know it was hot?   Or did plaintiff go to the pawnshop?   

JJ tells the plaintiff to make a police report, against the defendant.    Plaintiff has five days to file the police report against defendant, and then he will get his show money.      Defendant can't keep his story straight.  (I know a lot more than I ever wanted to about pawning stolen items in Warren, Michigan). 

$2800 to plaintiff, plaintiff has five days to file a police complaint against the defendant, and after proof of a police complaint against defendant is filed the plaintiff gets paid.    (I bet the $2800 was never claimed by plaintiff, because he never filed the police report against his brother).

Don't Kiss Your Sister's Boyfriend-Plaintiff Brandy Parish (21 years old) suing her older sister, Veronica Williams (23) over an unpaid loan.    Defendant claims plaintiff damaged her car, and that exceeded the cost of the loan.   Car damage happened when they had a fight involving plaintiff sucking face with defendant's boyfriend (is it too much to hope it's the defendant's ex-boyfriend? No, boyfriend is defendant's witness).   Plaintiff claims defendant damaged her own car.   

$416 to defendant for the car.  

Second (2017)-

Worms Coming Up Through Drain?!-Plaintiffs / former tenants James Glass and girlfriend Veronica Ortiz are suing former landlords David and Melissa Dempsey (Her mother is the actual owner) and for return of rent, security deposit, and harassment.     Plaintiffs paid first month's rent, and security deposit to defendants, with a written lease (defendants brought lease copy). 

 Defendant mother, the owner of property, can't fly (Sorry JJ, some people can't fly for physical reasons).     Plaintiffs saw the home before move in, (Jersey City, NJ), and claim defendants would put in new appliances, and shower, window security bars, and a cabinet or two.  Plaintiffs only lived there a month. 

Plaintiffs claim shower flaked paint, that jammed drain, and worms came out of the drain (plumber says it was pasta spaghetti, not worms).   Defendants claim plaintiffs were in the apartment more than a month, and flooring was new before plaintiffs moved in.   

Defendants had plaintiffs evicted in June, by housing court.   Plaintiffs claim they moved in April, voluntarily.   Defendants say the closets, refrigerator, kitchen were full of garbage. 

Plaintiffs claim they stayed in motels from April through June, because they were afraid of defendant woman.   The owner/defendant's mother actually lives in part of the house.  (I'm sure I saw this before, probably a couple of times, but the plaintiffs look very familiar.   I wonder if they're on other shows too?).  

By the way JJ, people buy all new furniture on payment plans, or rent to own, then move leaving everything behind, or take everything with them, and leave no forwarding address.   They also get a house hold full of rent to own furniture, get it delivered to an empty house that they claim they're moving into, and then sell it, but they never lived there at all.     

Defendant/landlords also say the plaintiffs smoked pot every day in the house, and the lease says smoke free environment.     Also, plaintiff woman has a 3-year-old asthmatic child they were smoking pot right next to.    

Defendant also say plaintiff woman wanted a different lease leaving the plaintiff boyfriend's name off the lease, in plaintiff woman's name only, to defraud the welfare department.  Why is JJ going to reward welfare cheats?   (The worms coming out of the jammed shower drain is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time). 

$850 to defendants, (this is for 2 month’s rent, minus the security deposit).  

[The People's Court - General Discussion]

Rerun, "Rent Riot" 2018.  (Bazinga say's it actually Worthless Warranty War on page 107)

Case 1-Plaintiff bought a car warranty for a 2002 BMW 7 series, a16-years-old car, from defendant for $3200.   Defendant, the dealership manager,  has no proof he actually purchased the warranty, so plaintiff wants the $3200 back.   

Defendant says the plaintiff never brought the car to the warranty office for inspection, to determine if there were pre-existing conditions, so warranty never went into effect.   Plaintiff claims he tried to get the dealership to honor the warranty.     They took a long recess to let defendant get the documentation.    JM thinks defendant is lying about everything, and watching defendant at the defendant table is hysterical.   The Penn Warranty Company is the warranty company.  JM called the warranty company, but they have no record of plaintiff's contract. 

Defendant claims because plaintiff wouldn't bring the car in for inspection to do the warranty, but says he's only going to give back $1900 of the $3200. 

Plaintiff gets $3200 for warranty, and $1000 in punitive, so $4200.

Case 2- Plaintiff says defendant sold her a defective washer and dryer, didn't charge her tax, and only wanted cash, plaintiff wants $1120.    Defendant says she sent a technician out three times, and plaintiff wouldn't even check the circuit breakers.      Plaintiff says she was 'induced to buy' by defendant because price was lowered several times, and purchasing the washer/dryer was irresistible, with a 90-day warranty.        I know places that discount for paying in full, and pay the tax themselves to get rid of older stock.   (Levin's stupid title is "Wash Her We Hardly Knew Her").

$560 was the price for the used pair.     Plaintiff's witness says he called dozens of times, to get a technician out.   Technician says he fixed the dryer, but plaintiff claims it was still broken.  Defendant claims they swapped the dryer for another brand.   Plaintiff says no replacement happened.    Plaintiff witness says the dryer was swapped for another one, but that one was broken too.   Washer is still working, but plaintiff wants washer and dryer replaced, because she doesn't want to deal with defendant's company again.  Receipt says 90 day warranty, no refunds, no replacements. 

Defendant says when she swapped the dryer out, that the witness called her claiming the dryer didn't work before the technician even was back to the store.  

I wonder if plaintiff ever checked the circuit breaker?   Or if the vent in the wall or outside was blocked?    Plaintiff gets the $250 plus $30 delivery, so $280.   Plaintiff doesn't get the washer money back. 

Case 3-Plaintiff bought a scooter and helmet from defendant, and on day one it broke down, and defendant won't give him a refund of $815.  Scooter was used, and battery died, and defendant replaced the battery.   A few days later defendant say the scooter was defective, and wanted a full refund, unfortunately, before the 30 day warranty was up. 

Defendant has a new and used scooter garage, this scooter was used.  Battery was replaced, and plaintiff claims the battery went a few days later.  

Plaintiff claims he had to pay $100 to get scooter back to defendant's shop twice, so $200.   There is no proof of transportation costs presented, and he kept the helmet, and he wants registration fees ($82) also.  

Defendant will send license plate to plaintiff, and will have to pay $425 plus court costs.

They did say on the annoying little logo in the corner of the page that there will be a new one next Sunday.     Once is enough for me listening to them argue, so I turned on something I found a bit less annoying.   

[All Episodes Talk: All Rise]

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Parking Rage! -Plaintiff Jeanette Camarillo suing defendant Marlyn Castillo   Plaintiff was going to park and take her kids to a street fair.    Plaintiff entered the parking lot, and defendant was in the lot with her engine off waiting for someone to leave.   Another fair goer walked to his car to leave, and waved at plaintiff to follow him and take the parking space.  Plaintiff claims defendant wasn’t anywhere close to space.   Then, when defendant pulled her car forward, blocking plaintiff from grabbing the space, but she backed down, plaintiff parked, defendant pulled up and said she was waiting for the space, and plaintiff ignored defendant and went into the fair.

Plaintiff got into the space first, and claims defendant keyed her car while she was at the fair. My guess is plaintiff is so nasty to others that there are probably hundreds of suspects for the car keying.  Anthony Luna, husband of plaintiff is her witness.   He lies for his plaintiff wife.   He claims he saw defendant key the car.   He also claims defendant said she was going to key the car.

Police report made from lying plaintiff witness is submitted.   Report says nothing about husband seeing the keying.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Best Friend Bailout -Plaintiff Dana Martin suing defendant Suzet Begesha for return of money for bail, for Failure To Appear for a DUI case.      Defendant was 50 then.    So, after arrest on outstanding warrant she called plaintiff, even though her boyfriend bailed her out for the DUI.

Bail added up to $2707.    Defendant says plaintiff knew she was unemployed, divorcing, and is sole caretaker for her adult son, and lives off of food stamps, son’s SSI, and relatives.   How did plaintiff think the defendant could pay her back?   Answer is defendant’s mother will take her IRA out, and repay plaintiff.  

$2800 to plaintiff.

Second (2014)-

Fight Over a Funeral -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Jonna Patak suing defendant/ex-boyfriend,  Brandon Baxter for a loan to bury defendant’s father, a camper, and for assaulting her, and wants her dental bills paid because of damage from the assault.      Plaintiff say he punched her, defendant says she jumped him and he pushed her off, and didn’t mean to hurt her.    Plaintiff lives in Binghamton NY, this happened in Vestal, NY,  and is now in Texas, plaintiff has five days to pick up the camper from Texas.

Defendant lives in Brewton, AL.     Funeral costs were a year ago, and defendant says plaintiff offered to pay, but it wasn’t a loan, so $971 is owed to plaintiff.  

The night of the fight, defendant says plaintiff was very drunk, holding their dog carelessly, attacked him from behind, was clawing him, and he’s the one who called the cops.     However, police report statements don’t mention he was acting in self

Camper dismissed, plaintiff has five days to pick up camper, it’s in her name.    Plaintiff will get orthodontist bills paid, total $2728.

Attorney Extortion? -Plaintiff/attorney  David Clark suing defendant/former client Jason Strycharz for unpaid attorney fees, punitive damages for harassment and extortion.    Defendant was arrested by a SWAT team for a loaded shotgun in his home, during a custody fight, and he was arrested for child endangerment.    (This was in Valencia, CA). Attorney apparently has a past, and is willing to talk about it, JJ declines to hear it, but he did pass the California bar.     

Defendant took a plea to three charges, two for child endangerment, and one other.   Defendant paid $2,000 (retainer agreement was $3,000) for this case retainer.    If it had gone to trial it would be $5,000 for the retainer.    Defendant says after he accepted the plea deal, that plaintiff said ‘we could have beaten this’.  

Sentence was 72 days in jail, four yeasr probation, in lieu of 4 years in prison possible if he went to trial.   Defendant was enraged by the ‘we could have beaten this’ remark.    Not a good risk to take, in my opinion, 72 days vs. 4 years would have been foolish.

Plaintiff gets $1,000 for fees.  (Hall-terview is interesting, defendant claims the attorney's past includes burglary, and heroin possession. )

First (2017)-

Internet Obscenity Revenge?!-Plaintiff Mary Class suing former tenants Steve Reid (Tenant #1) and Robert Turner (Tenant #2) for damages to her home, harassment, and defamation.     There were six tenants at the end of the lease, and only two were left past lease termination.   Plaintiff gave 30-day notice in April, to move out by 1 June, the two tenants were month-to-month tenants, but defendant idiot #1 (the one who sent the nasty texts to a 10-year-old child) says he didn't want to move. Steve Reid.   The third remaining tenant was also there until 11 June, Brady Ulrich is Tenant #3.       

Tenant #1 Steve Reid, says when plaintiff called one of his Nigerian friends a "Ratchet Princess" he decided to retaliate.  Plaintiff was moving back to her $2 million dollar beach house.  

When JJ sees the text on plaintiff's phone, she has Officer Byrd show it to defendant witness, tenant #3.    After seeing the nasty text sent by idiot #1, Steve Reid, to a 10 year old child, he says if someone sent that to a 10 year old in his family, that person wouldn't be sending any more texts.     After the notice was given (they had six month’s notice that plaintiff wouldn't be renewing the lease), idiot #1, Steve Reid, started posting plaintiff's address and other information on revenge porn sites.    (Brady Ulrich, witness and tenant #3 is now a Physician's Assistant, so he must be a lot better character than Idiot #1.   Judging from his responses at seeing the texts, his reaction is very appropriate).  

The nasty ads show requests to call or visit the woman for various sex acts, and role play, all posted by Idiot #1, Steve Reid.  They also included her phone number and address.   There is nothing the plaintiff sent to defendants that was nasty in any way. 

Plaintiff shows photos of the damages to the home. 

$5,000 to plaintiff.   $5,000 is against Steve Reid. 

Wild Car Crash Caught on Tape- (I love cases with video that shows who is lying)-Plaintiff Nafeesa Leverette suing her former friend, Joseph Pinkston, for totaling her car.   Defendant borrowed plaintiff's car (they are friends from church), running an errand stopped in at a store, left the motor running, and keys in the car, and the car was stolen (that’s the defendant’s story, which is total garbage).      When defendant realized car was stolen (like hell it was, you know he wrecked it), he called plaintiff, a police report was made.   30 minutes later a fireman called plaintiff, asking if she was all right.   Car was found wrecked, crashed into a telephone pole, and with the keys on the driver's seat.  

Plaintiff had insurance, so that paid off, and there was a shortfall of over $1,000, which plaintiff has been paying off.    

There is a video of the car crashing in the telephone pole, showing defendant jumping out of the car, and jumping into another car (sounds like they were street racing).    The video is from a neighbor with security cameras, showing the race, the accident, and defendant running to the other car.   Defendant is such a liar, it's the same jacket he was wearing when he borrowed the car, and it is absolutely the defendant.  

$2800 for plaintiff to cover $1,000 deductible, and shortfall on car insurance.   

Second (2017)-

Child Abuse by Mom’s Boyfriend?! -Plaintiff /father Ralph Case II suing defendant/ex Vanessa Aldridge, for attorney fees, and false court cases. Plaintiff says there were multiple bruises on their mutual son, and when father saw the bruises, the child said the mother's boyfriend, Jason Gould, hit him.   Plaintiff says boyfriend of defendant abused the child, and defendant claims that they took the training wheels off of the child's bike, and the bruises were from falls.  

Plaintiff won in court, everything was dismissed that defendant filed against plaintiff.  Defendant female birth vessel only recently received visitation in the summer with child, after having some weekend visitation. Plaintiff has full legal and primary physical custody of the little boy.

Police report (plaintiff flagged an officer down from picking up son, and officer did abuse report) substantiates the bruises, and officer documented the bruises with photographs.  

Then defendant and boyfriend were going on a week vacation together, but because of the hearing the boyfriend couldn't go with the defendant and son.    Plaintiff initiated a protective order for the child, and to keep the boyfriend from going on vacation with defendant, and the little boy (child was 6) with the boyfriend.   Defendant's boyfriend could not go on vacation, and later the protective order was dropped.   

 Boyfriend, Jason Gould went to the hearing, and the petition was withdrawn, because defendant Female Birth Vessel (FBV) was on vacation already.   Jason the boyfriend certainly has a bad case of sweating bullets in JJ's court.    

Defendant's request for counsel fees is dismissed.  Defendant wanted the child relocated, so she could get full custody, this was denied.   

(Nothing JJ says to the parents registered with the mother.   Poor kid will be about 11 now, not quite old enough to say who he wants to live with permanently. )

Plaintiff case dismissed.    Defendant case absolutely dismissed.

Bailout Gone Wrong – Plaintiffs Shaughnessy Fahy, and girlfriend Lynette Turner, are suing defendant/landlord Romeo Castro for illegal eviction, bail, and storage costs.  Plaintiff was down on his luck, and defendant allowed plaintiff to move in, then girlfriend, and her mother moved in.      Plaintiff moved into a room in the home owned by defendant, then shortly after plaintiff girlfriend moved in also.   Plaintiff's girlfriend's mother moved in also, sleeping on the living room couch, and claims she was paying $300 a month.    

Illegal eviction, and hotel costs are dismissed.  Also, storage costs are dismissed.  

Plaintiff's complaint claims defendant was arrested, and he bailed defendant out, and wants to be repaid.    Defendant and girlfriend argued, and someone called the police, and defendant was arrested.   

Plaintiff man interrupts in one time too many, and is told to refile locally.

[Fix My Flip - General Discussion]

I'd like to know about the Pasadena three bungalow one too.   I bet that one is in similar condition to the Eagle Rock property, it will never be finished.  

Eagle Rock-I suspect they didn't want an ADU, but mom and dad or whoever was financing it, would live upstairs, and the couple would be in the ADU with their future kids.    I don't think they ever had any intention of selling that property.
