All Episodes Talk: All Rise

[BubblingKettle]

So, finally a calm day without Women's FIFA and I get to watch the rerun of the disgusting porn-watching Mr. Comegys and Ms. Stephens, his annoying "female he was messin wit" who thinks she is cute. This case gets on my nerves, and it disappoints me....Comegys said "porn" and "Can't you HEAR me?" and threw attitude at JJ and then Stephens addressed JJ as "girrrlll" several times, but JJ didn't really take them to task.  He said "shut up" to JJ on his way out of the courtroom, and I wanted Byrd to scold him. And the plaintiff didn't realize that Comegys was a disrespectful douchebag from the moment she met him? Who'd want to have to look at his mouth full of spitty junk, his vacant stare, and the infections he gets from messin wit females? Fools, both of them.

but JJ didn't really take them to task.

 

I think she realized they were hopeless and nothing she said was going to penetrate their thick, bony skulls.  I was just shocked that she allowed these half-wits with their stupidity to hog a whole half-hour, and I'm still reeling from hearing that stupid Cherise goes to college. I like the way she gleefully admitted in the hall - fake eyelashes batting madly and fake nails waving around -  that yes, she did go to Pootie's with a baseball bat to assault whatever "female" he was messin' wid. That's one classy female!

 

This was the first case in weeks I could watch without it being butted into for non-news about fugitives. What a disappointment.

[QuelleC]

You all said it better than I could, thank you.  A half hour of my life I'll never get back.  What in the world possessed JJ to give these idiots more than 5 min of her time?  The case was very simple.  Plaintiff had a sales receipt, proof she got a credit card just to buy the messin with wimins idiot an expensive laptop to watch porn.  That was an insult to JJ I wish she'd have picked up on it. Also several texts promising payment. All I could think of is the case was chosen after reading the court documents and they thought nailing the defendant might make for good tv.  But an entire half hour?  I don't understand the extreme patience she showed with these two.  Did the producers tell her to tone it down?  The case could have been edited.  In fact, I wonder how much editing goes on.  Loved it when he couldn't take off his leather jacket after finally being kicked out. 

 

And yeah, giggling mom (want to slap her and vacant daughter) were as awful as lying defendant seller of truck he didn't own.  JJ wanted to rule against her until she had no choice but to admit defendant lied.  Plaintiff was too damned smug for me to think it was about money, I get the feeling she never has to worry about that.

 I hope the guy who was suing his sister for wrecking his car gets a copy of the hallterview where his sister confesses that, yeah, I did what I want, I took the car cause that's how I roll. JJ dismissed the case and told him to go get another judge to hear it. 

 

The case of the broken rod on the car. Man, that girl was really a low information person. Hallterview: It's just a car, she took it too far. I didn't really like any of the litigants in that case. Glad to see the stupid girl got to be on tv and wear a shirt that showed her insightful sentence tattoo. Cause you know it was all kinds of awesome thoughts. 

 

Hi ya'll.  Sorry, I know the thread has moved on, but I'm dying to know - the brother suing his sister - why did she dismiss them, what exactly was their scam?   They were shady as hell but what were they trying to get over on her?  That it was actually the brother who crashed the car? Why did JJ imply that he was lying because he said the sister went to work at different times?  She's a fast food place shift manager, right?

 

That tat on ole girl's um, decolletage, made me giggle because I've seen it before.... as an email siggie lol.

 

The lady who wanted to taxodermy her puppy?  Yeah ok, it's unusual but it kind of made me mad that JJ was all, "that was a bad idea".   Lady that was my dog and my memories and if I wanna stuff her full of bean bag beads and carry her around on my head, I'm probably nutty enough not to give a shit how you feel about it. 

[SandyToes]

I hate it when we get 30- (well, 22-) minute shows. So much rehashing of the same info.  Ms. Grissom is lucky she got anything. I think JJ was ready to toss her out, but the def was a yucky, lying ass. Plaintiff was an idiot. Like doctored documents wouldn't be an issue?  And I was ready to smack the smirk off her face. Sometimes they get nervous and a little goofy, fine, but that was just too much.

 

In better news, it looks like a fiiiiiiiine fashion hair day tomorrow. I do appreciate the architectural do's others can create!

AngelaHunter, I'm glad you got to at least get your JJ fix, frustrating episode that it was. i figured you'd be getting daily "health and well-being" updates on you-know-who.  Maybe we will all be happy viewers tomorrow!

That case was all kinds of awesome. . . and I mean a hot-stinking-mess of who-lies-bigger awesome. I imagined JJ was toying with Ms. Grissom like a teenage boy pulling the wings off flies. She annoyed the shedaisy out of me (give me a break, I have a toddler granddaughter and have to stop cursing lest she imitate me). I bet she's the teacher that believes everybody's dog eats their homework But JJ was also toying with the plaintiff - I was watching that guy breaking out over and over again in flop sweat - will she throw out the case or not? do I have to lie and watch her bore a hole into my soul again? And of course he must have sold the car to Carnac (props to Johnny Carson for you whipper snappers) because he didn't tell the plaintiff how to satisfy the lien! (I bought a car once with a lien on it - a $200 metallic green Ford Escort with no A/C -but a mistake was made and I didn't have to pay the lien) 

 

So I hear they caught the remaining prisoner-at-large so the rest of you hopefully will get your JJ back. I almost missed mine due to a horrendous thunderstorm (thanks DISH network). I would have been mucho sad if I missed the Dueling Liars.

Is anyone else who uses the closed-captioning not getting it lately?  The last 3 episodes on my local ABC affiliate weren't closed-captioned.  The commercials and station promos were, so it wasn't weather or sunspots interfering or anything.   I'm hearing-impaired and can't catch the dialogue without closed-captioning....   :(

Both episodes were new to me.  Good times.

Well, who doesn't?

[AngelaHunter]

I bet she's the teacher that believes everybody's dog eats their homework

 

That may be but she still had the balls, the chutzpah, to (badly) doctor documents, make (crappy) copies and present them to Judge Judy(!) on national TeeVee!  "I left the real, un-faked documents at home. These are what I brought (because I thought you are as stupid as I am). I apologize, Your Honour."

 

I hated the way she pulled her head in like a turtle and put on that dopey smirk/giggle every time JJ threw another dart at her.  

[NYGirl]

My first car cost $500. It was a Chevy Chevette. Amazingly, it had a six cylinder engine. I don't know how I survived 1988. I sure had some fun in that car!

So was mine!! except it was a 1968. But I did pay $500 for it too. After a couple of months it developed an oil leak.

[AngelaHunter]

Reruns - blah! But we got another of the exchanges that always amuse me:

 

Lit: "The police had told her..."

 

JJ: You can't tell me what the police told her. That's hearsay."

 

Lit: "Well, the city also told her..."

 

JJ: " Blerghhhhh!"

 

Lit: "Okay. She was told..."

 

How can you not love it?

 

[SandyToes]

The only thing missing from that was, "She proceeded to be told..."   And you got JJ's accent just right. hee.

 

An awful lot of people of late showing up without any supporting legal documents. Coincidence, or are people just showing up for TV time? Perhaps people are snatched up and whisked away from the grocery store and shoved onto a plane to LA.  That could explain why they don't have their paperwork in order.  Or their roots done.

"Supporting" is the keyword. Either the documents don't exist, which means the litigants are liars, OR they do have documents but didn't bring them because the docs will prove beyond doubt that they're liars.

My question is how are JJ and Alan Alda "very good" friends? Does he live in Greenwich, too?

hate to be "that guy", but the Chevette didn't exist in 1968

 

My first car cost $2000. I paid for it ALL BY MYSELF and no one cosigned the load. My parents would have laughed their heads off if I'd asked them to buy it. BF would have as well

[Ouisch]

My question is how are JJ and Alan Alda "very good" friends? Does he live in Greenwich, too?

Alan Alda has long lived in Leonia, New Jersey, which is a little less than 30 miles from Greenwich. When he was working on M*A*S*H he never relocated to California; instead he flew home to NJ every weekend.

[califred]

The hard headed Dad today really didn't get it. He had the option to take the car back and return her money which likely would have worked out in his favor. I still imagine he might try to take the car.

[arejay]

Oh, my! Girl's Daddy took her to court for "theft by conception." Minimum 18 year sentence.

[Trini]

The hard headed Dad today really didn't get it. He had the option to take the car back and return her money which likely would have worked out in his favor. I still imagine he might try to take the car.

This was one where the feelings overruled common sense; he didn't want to give his daughter anything because of disrespect. I understand his feelings, but obviously he can't have things both ways.

 

Unlicensed Cigarettes and Food was so annoying-- "I won't say anything since it won't be in my favor". He probably had his license revoked.

 

I didn't a driver's license until I was 27, but I didn't need to drive most of those years, and no one in my immediate family drove (and the one person I might have gotten lessons from was kind of a bad driver/teacher).

Yeah the Dad didn't get it at all.  What I found amazing was the amount of backstory her encourageda the litigants to tell.  Usually she tells them "If you want counseling go on Dr. Phil".  In this case, she was asking about guardianship papers and other issues that really didn't involved the case.  If was interesting but very unlike her to allow those issues to be discussed.

I'm not sure when "seasons" start but I'm detecting a change of tone to make it more, let's say gossipy like MM.  Sure, she could be dismissive of testimony she didn't want to hear but I always gave her the benefit of the doubt.  Unless we can read the small claims complaints and answers online, we'll never have as much information as JJ does.  Surely she has people who interview the people in advance too.  Anyway, I rather like it when she cuts to the chase and doesn't suffer fools who are running scams. 

[NowVoyager]

So, finally a calm day without Women's FIFA

The website says the finals are July 5. Whew! We're almost there ya'll.... And to think I used to like women's soccer until they messed with my JJ.....

[Milz]

Had repeats yesterday (ones I've never seen so they were new to me.). Disrespectful daughter sues pissed off Father for a car. And the other episode had the former friends: plaintiff wired defendant  a total $350 in two transactions. When she asked for the money back, defendant wired her $324 (she deducted the $24 transmission fee), refused to give the plaintiff a router number and collected the money herself.

[SandyToes]

The one about the wired money had the amazing comment from the defendant that the plaintiff had extra money from "a safe they had found," but def .didn't want to go into details.  Huh?! That'd be interesting stuff!  Wish I knew where to "find a safe." 

 

And the idiot unlicensed driver trying to craft a believable lie about why he didn't have a license. His excuse as to why he didn't have a good reason was along the lines of, "I couldn't think of a better one."  Glad former girlfriend has wised up.

[Arjay]

I liked the stare: from the way her eyes were fixed on JJ to the way her head was at a slight angle. It was like she was zapped with a Freeze Ray. JJ had to ask her twice why she didn't give the plaintiff the routing number.

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

 

This was one where the feelings overruled common sense; he didn't want to give his daughter anything because of disrespect. I understand his feelings, but obviously he can't have things both ways.

The law doesn't really care about the Disrespect Defense. He wanted the car just to piss her off (nice retaliation, dad). He wanted the money cos basically he needed money.  I was impressed a bit by the plaintiff actually admitting she disrespected him. 

 

As for Cigarettes and Food Driver - I just wanted to slap him in his smug face. That's the kind of guy that thinks he's really cute and witty - I saw a guy acting similarly on a rerun of Cops last night and he ended up being arrested where he cried like a wittle baybee after that point. I can imagine Witty Man doing the same thing. Of course depending on what he was on at the time he borrowed the car he might have actually seen a deer  ("look at all those happy creatures. . . dancin' on the lawn" )

 

I was amused by the plaintiff's hair in that case. It was all 70s Farrah Fawcett 'do on one side and lobotomy chic on the other. I'm always distracted wondering what's the mindset of somebody who thinks "hey, this hairstyle is a good idea".

There's definitely some wild back story that we weren't privy to with them (other than the safe  stuffed with money)

[AngelaHunter]

I thought I was hearing things re: the safe, but see I wasn't. Yeah, I wish we could have heard more about that.

What a sack of crap the defendant was!  "Here's the paperwork, oops sorry no router number, never mind that."

AND trying to kill our beloved Judge with her death-ray eyes!

[AngelaHunter]

"Here's the paperwork, oops sorry no router number, never mind that."

 

Never used WU, but have learned from getting about 8,000 Nigerian scam emails - and playing with scammers -  the MTCN number is vital. Without it, no dough!

 

I don't mind reruns (I'd rather watch JJ reruns than almost any new shows) but do we have to get the silliest litigants? The repulsive and stupid looking Pengelley, who swears his mom, Carlotta (and for once I agree with the "disabled" claim) who says she would sell him her 400K house for 2,600$. Silly AND annoying.

 

Then we got the oily, weasel-y Mr. Blanchette with pants falling off his scrawny torso (NOOO!) who likes to drive his big van which he has been driving SO long, but doesn't believe in insurance. Hated him, but did love plaintiff, a 20 year old girl who bought herself a brand-new car and was coherent and concise in her tale of said idiot Blanchette pulling a U-turn and hitting her. She just appeared out of thin air so it wasn't his fault!

JJ would be positively reflective - she would reflect back No Routing Number's death glare and she would spontaneously combust - how about THAT router number, lady? 

 

I'm so damn grateful I didn't have to buy engagement rings for my now sons in law to give to my daughters. That dummmmay was talking about how controlling his now ex future mother in law was going to be - No SHIZNITZ SHERLOCK! If you gotta have her buy a ring she's pretty much up your butt for-evahh!

[AngelaHunter]

If you gotta have her buy a ring she's pretty much up your butt for-evahh!

 

To all the playing-house fools: If your momma has to buy the engagement ring (or pay to reverse Don Juan's vasectomy), if you have to live with momma or daddy because neither of you has two nickels to rub together, if the bethrothed doesn't work (or has 5 kids scattered around and works bagging groceries),  because he just got out of jail, if one or both has lost a license because of DUI, warrants, etc - you are NOT READY TO GET MARRIED.

 

Okay, I know JJ makes scads of money doing this, but I doubt she really needs more, so she must be doing this because she loves it. How she can listen to these drooling, knuckle-dragging morons day after day without going postal on their asses, I just do not know.

[Taylorh2]

The son who loaned his mother $2,600 (to get her mortgage current): I couldn't concentrate on the case because I kept waiting for the mom to fall over. lol

[AngelaHunter]

I admire JJ so much for being able to walk out and face the four mutants we saw today and show no reaction. Of course it's possible she watches them enter off set and gets out her "Holy shit!" then. The wonky "life partner," the visually impaired caregiver, the disabled def. who cannot put her clothes on by herself without state money (to pay visually impaired caregiver 600$/mnth which seems to all go on gas) yet can drive a van by herself - all left ME crying, "HOLY SHIT!".  I totally believe def and her... whatever he is to her - vandalized the cars, etc. The old guy may have looked to be in his late 90s or early 100s, but in the hall he explained he knows just how to wreck tires.

 

A good day on JJ.

[Quof]

What the fresh hell was that steaming heap of dysfunction???? I usually try to social media stalk the really crazy ones if they have uncommon names, but I couldn't even be bothered with this crew.

[Brattinella]

And the defendants did $40,000 in damage, too!  God, it was really hard to root for anybody.  But, Yeah, Holy Shit!

[AngelaHunter]

God, it was really hard to root for anybody.

 

Not just hard - impossible. It just kept getting worse and worse (or better, depending on your perspective). The rent-to-own trailer, the old washer/dryer, the TEN cars vandalized.. well, I'm pretty sure THOSE ten cars made the property look like a junk yard even before the vandalizing. Listening to the Life Partner in the hall drew a fresh "HOLY SHIT!" from me. Oh, and I love the announcer even more for the way he kept saying "Life partner."

[NYCFree]

The Life Partner sure had some specificity with dates. The plaintiff just turned to him and said "He's good with dates". At first he just said an event occurred in early March. Then you could almost see the wheels turn and he announced "It was March 5th....and the trial was April 24th". He had a Dustin Hoffman as Rainman quality to his date recall.

[Jamoche]

In today's Case of the Whiteout Fairies, JJ is handed a piece of paper that's a copy of the original, which shows signs that the original had the plaintiff's name whited out. I noticed that the woman accused of changing the paperwork just said "I didn't white that out" - but she didn't think to deny that it *had* been whited out.

I couldn't get past the fact that the legally blind plaintiff that needed assistance walking into the courtroom was DRIVING the defendant to doctor's appointments and the grocery store. For money. For a woman who could DRIVE the car but couldn't take her own shower? 

 

Man, y'all we have GOT to figure out some way to get on that gub'ment payment train!

She said she had vision problems with lights and I can't disagree with that with studio lights as JJ asked.  My vision is 650/20 with astigmatism and a bad right eye I can barely see my computer screen.
