I know today was a dog bite/fight case, but very satisfying outcome.  I gathered from the Plaintiff's astonished look that she wasn't suing for the $5000, but won it anyway. (Did they ever say?) Ms. Defendant can go on the list of most odious liti-testants.  "That's what dogs do! They fight!"  There you go. In the other case, Cornell needs a neckbrace to keep himself upright. I got dizzy just leaning over trying to look at him. And little Bryson was pretty cute, but obviously not well-coached enough. When you look over and essentially ask, "What did you want me to say?" it kind takes the ooomph out of one's testimony.

Plaintiff's astonished look seemed permanent to me. 

The vet bills exceeded $5000, but I don't think they ever gave the precise total.  I paused the DVR and read the vet's report -- easy to see why the vet bill would be so high.

Seriously.  From her first lie (same side of the street) I was disgusted with her.  So was JJ.  And the more she flapped her gums, the madder the judge got.  What a horrifying thing the plaintiff had to witness!  I'm just amazed her dog survived.

I was hoping on her way out of the studio she got hit by an out-of-control tourist tram. She was absolutely vile. "That's what dogs do, they fight!" No, they don't you garbage human.

Little Bryson was absolutely adorable but I'm shocked JJ didn't start screeching at him, "This is not an audition!" I guess she's capable of some restraint. As for the case itself, my entire takeaway was the Defendant's child was not really potty training since the child seemed to urinate everywhere a potty was not.

New ep today, right?  U9Muhamed suing the shifty guy who rented him a room in his rented condo, took six months rent up front then got in a fight with him the day Muhamed was moving in because Muhamed wanted to bring his own bed in. Def refused, saying he had to take the room furnished the way it was. Plaintiff left and def kept all the money, muttering something about "damages", apparently magically caused by someone who never lived there. There must have been way more stuff we didn't hear about because JJ came out armed for bear against defendant. When asked who else had rented the room prior to plaintiff, def responds, "Uhhh, err. some guy named Tim." Maybe Tim did the damage in the three days he lived there? Yes, I'd let some stranger whose name I don't know move into my home too. Muhamed is a student who says things like, "They was." He said that in the hall because he didn't need to say one word during the case.

Stupid, annoying, vocally-fried and overly-madeup boring dumb girl suing former roommate for whatever damages. Ho hum.

But omg - what about batty plaintiff who has a girlfriend and they took in SIX kids from... someone or other (she dramatically paused and attempted to squeeze out a tear here over someone else's kids when she is suing her own) suing her 18-year old daughter for a 22-year old POS car she "loaned" to her, coincidentally on the daughter's birthday. Daughter's boyfriend, Jarkwadian(?) appeared next to her but I'm not sure why since I don't think this had anything to do with him. Momma gets the boot and declares in a martyred tone, "I knew this would happen." Well, if you knew it, why did you come and reveal what a crazy bitch you are? In the hall, about her daughter: "She wins again." Who says that about her teenaged child as though they're in some whacky contest? I hope someone is keeping an eye on those poor six kids. I wonder how much she and her squeeze get paid every month for them.

I think it's Jerkwadian. Jerkwadian the Janky Mason. She has 6 new kids to love now and they bought her a Lexus. Screw that teenage brat.

Way back in the wee early days of JJ, there was a woman who was suing an ex-boyfriend or something, and drug her kid in to it.  When someone mentioned the kid, he looked directly in to the camera and did jazz hands.  Every time the defendant said something, the kid started mugging for the camera, making faux shocked faces, shaking his head "no" violently, etc.  The woman wanted to put the kid on the stand, and I think she succeeded, but JJ quickly figured out the kid had been coached big-time, and ended up reaming out the mother.  I seriously wish I could find that one again.  I have the two JJ DVD's that were put out eons ago.  It might be on there - I'll have to look.  I believe the crazy Tupperware lady is on there, and someone who sued because they had body wraps done and didn't lose weight (I remember her because she looked and acted just like an airheaded friend my mom has).

I was thinking the same thing.  I said "She looks like she'll cut a bitch".

My memories of Patricia Bean are somewhat foggy, but Ms. Bean was not the neighborly type, and she attacked a neighbor who was helping another neighbor out (I think someone thought she was trying to commit suicide?  That really sticks out in my mind).  There was an assault, and someone's phone was tossed in the street.  I believe we found out she was extremely sue-happy (Ms. Bean).  JJ had a field day.

Re the Bean case: I think funky-rat is right about the suicide attempt.  A neighbor of the two ladies attempted suicide, and the defendant was trying to cope.  Ms. Bean didn't feel that the defendant was handling the situation with the urgency that she -- Ms. Bean -- felt was necessary.  The two got into a tussle, and the defendant threw Ms. Bean's phone into the street.  I think she was threatening to call the police and report the defendant.

I always gotta love these garbage humans who never have any money yet always seem to buy "luxury" cars no matter how old believing they'll impress someone somewhere. That 22-year old Lexus is going to need repairs and it doesn't matter if it's a 22-year old Lexus or 1-year old Lexus, those parts are still expensive as hell. 

Every now and then when I would drive to work I would pass a lady driving an ancient Jaguar on the road. It wasn't antique, honey, it was a hoopty Jag with rust hanging off the rear quarter panels (no snow or salt to eat those holes as I live in Florida). And my favorite part was the old school wire hanger that was stuck where the antenna used to be so she could get Benny Goodman and his Kool Kats playing moosic as she rolled down the road. But hey, girlfriend drives a Jag, y'all. 

 

Patricia Bean is certainly NOT a figment of anybody's imagination. I have it saved on my DVR. It was originally broadcast on 09/08/2015 as new episode #2808 (according to DISH network). The synopsis was " An elderly woman accuses a neighbor of lacking empathy after she witnesses a suicide attempt".

Nasty Old Bat got vexed that the plaintiff that she got to call 911 didn't make sufficient drama about it, so in a fit of anger she tossed the phone on the ground and broke it, which she later admitted to the police

Mr. Ortega gave us the ultimate classic:
 

JJ: Do you have proof you paid the 10K?

MO: Yes, absolutely.

JJ: I'd like to see it.

MO: Oh, well, I don't have it on me.

Yes, he has it, but it's at home for sure. Trust him. Luckily, "Dave" was either extremely honest or he's been sampling too much of his wacky tabaccy (he seemed kind of out of it) and was stoned because he admitted he had indeed been paid the 10K, which for some reason he didn't feel like sharing with his partner, who appeared to be an idiot or a crook.

Tasia: Another ultimate, but in wigs. My god, the thing was three feet wide. The whole cas was odd. angry Dad goes and buys a new car, but not to drive. He leaves it sitting for two years, but loads it up with 3K worth of sound equipment and then he couldn't take it out before his lying, massively-bewigged daughter, who had no clue what she had written in her answer, bought the car because it was raining.

Mom suing ex-SIL because the government trough dried up for her and her daughter: I hate to say it, but instead of spending a fortune on the hair thing, and the jewelry, she needs to get that huge, raised bubble on her forehead removed. I couldnt' stop staring at it. The thing was gigantic.

One case that I keep hoping they'll rerun (if they haven't done so already) is the case of the two older women who fought at the VFW. The plaintiff apparently didn't approve of the defendant's dating habits or something and called her a slut and proceeded to get in her face. Defendant's witness saw her poke or shove the defendant (not that hard) and called the police because, from the distance at which she was standing, it looked like the plaintiff had actually hit the defendant. JJ ruled that the call was made in good faith and that the plaintiff was an instigator from the very beginning. "Keep your nose out of other people's bedrooms!" her Honor advises before dismissing the plaintiff's case.

I wish I hadn't watched the repeat of Ms.Hall, who sent money to the plaintiff to repay a debt. Of course, WU was the vehicle of choice. The basilisk, hate-filled stare Ms. Hall gave JJ (instead of an answer to a reasonable question) was positively chilling.

My, my, things sure have changed since I retired. Back in my day, it was a simple thing to figure out the basic housing allowance and the difference you would receive for spouse and each additional dependant. Not as simple as reading a chart, because several factors have to be factored in - fact that he was deployed unaccompanied, his rank, number of years he's  served, number of dependants, etc... but still, simple and quick visit to Finance and he would know - maybe not quite as easy for the wife - but still not very hard. Instead, these litigants are in court fighting without knowing any numbers. Oh, and wife and her mommy just can't get it through their heads that JJ doesn't care about what happened 6 years ago - great big laugh when idiot tries to argue, oh it wasn't in 2012, it goes all the way back to '-08. 

A couple things JJ asked about which she probably shouldn't have considered. His rent in Japan and his Separate Rations.  Separate Rations is easy - they're paid to a service member to feed the service person when, because of their duty or living conditions, they can not get to a mess hall three times a day.... it is NOT meant to subsidize feeding dependants, and in fact can be canceled by the unit commander when duty status changes. What he was paid for his rent is a complicated deal based on being overseas and the cost of living.  No question his wife and son deserve a portion of his Basic Housing Allowance. However, I don't see wife being entitled to his overseas cost of living allowance - which is a nontaxable allowance designed to let the serviceman/woman maintain same standard of living as they would back in the States. (Course, in this guy's case it sounds like he was rooming with a couple buddies and saving on rent - not something COLA considers.)

Ah, this case brought back happy memories... no, not about the case ?, so off topic.  I remember years ago, coming home on leave, and Mom being oh so proud of her brand new stove. Finally got rid of the old avocado green one, and the new stove was the latest thing with a glass top.... and no one else was allowed to cook on it or clean it! Had a new dish washer, too, so everybody out, don't even clean off the table because she didn't want to take a chance her new tile countertop grout would get dirty.?

I finally got all caught up with this week's episodes. With the dog fight case, at first I thought JJ was being a little harsh with the defendant from the get go, as she appeared to have her act together more than a lot of other litigants, and at first, I wasn't convinced she was lying. Then as the case progressed, she revealed herself to be such an utter piece of work, I'm surprised JJ didn't rip her apart even more. Yeah, continually shouting out that you don't owe the plaintiff anything is really going to go well for you when you've already agreed to abide by the show's judgment. As everyone already covered, the hallterview was just as bad, if not worse. "All dogs fight! And you're responsible for your dog's vet bills after a dog fight!" THAT'S NOT HOW THIS WORKS. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS.

I wondered from the beginning how can the mother sue the husband for rent anyway?  Wouldn't this be a joint debt and something that should be tackled in divorce court? I'm guessing she thinks her daughter won'r fare well in DC and she is trying to get as much as she can from him.

Tamara Mooney, the infamous "CURL MD" was back today, and made my blood curdle yet again.

Slogging through the back log on my DVR, I watched this awful episode again today and still, after all these years, fills me with fire. What a horrible, nasty, psychotic shrew Tamara Mooney is. I really hope that couple pursued it with the police. I google'd Tamara Mooney and came up empty -- it doesn't seem like she's doing hair anymore. 

The other old case was the looney bewigged, terminally unemployed lady suing her ex-husband for a "loan." She looked like a hairy preying mantis who spent too much time doing Jane Fonda aerobics workouts and eating only air pies and ice cubes. The interesting thing is when she stormed out at the end towards the door behind JJ, Byrd did nothing to stop her from going out the wrong door and there was already a cameraman stationed nearby with a handheld camera waiting for her. Unless that dude spends his time cowering inside the witness stand for an opportunity to catch a rampaging litigant, methinks that whole walk off was staged.
