All Episodes Talk: All Rise

[TVMovieBuff]

I just saw  an episode from around 2013, a guy suing his ex girlfriend for $$ borrowed for a tummy tuck. The defendant's name was Elizabeth, she had 8 kids including one with the plaintiff. 

She put a chill down my spine. JJ didn't even go hard on her. She was a real cold customer.

Shocking Family Beatdown! (husband is Daniel Dupont, wife is Vickie Dupont, son is Demitri Dupont) ;  Life Insurance Loser?

 

Phantom Boyfriend in Malaysia? -Plaintiff /co-worker Marin Oancea (pronounced Wan-cha) suing defendant Chantel Whitefor not repaying a $3000 loan, defendant claims she needed the money for her boyfriend who was trapped in Malaysia, and needed money to get back to the U.S.   Defendant worked at St. Jude's (Phoenix clinic location) for about 3 months, is often unemployed.    Defendant moved to another apartment, so how can her beloved imaginary boyfriend find her?   

Defendant needed the money so her imaginary boyfriend could buy his way out of Malaysia, and no surprise the boyfriend disappeared after defendant sent him the money.  Plaintiff says defendant told him that she had cancer, and needed her boyfriend to come to the U.S. to take care of her.    Defendant told her sad tale of woe to plaintiff, and he loaned her the money.   Defendant brought no evidence to court, and apparently thought she was coming to the beach today.   

JJ believes the defendant scammed the plaintiff, and I agree. 

$3,000 to plaintiff. 

Car Fiasco! -Plaintiff Jean Grimes suing defendant Rasheed Jones for the return of money she paid for a BMW, and an iPad.  Defendant is a car flipper or salesman, and plaintiff gave him $500, on the purchase and owed $900 total, and missed a $300 payment.   There is a dispute if car was $1500 total, or $1400 total.   

When plaintiff missed the payment, defendant repo'd the car.  Plaintiff is suing for the down payment, and her other payments back. Plaintiff claims her son's iPad was in the car when it was repo'd.  

Defendant claims she paid $1100, and still owes $300 more.  Plaintiff claims she owed defendant $900 but only paid $600.   

Plaintiff missed a payment, and it was a month before defendant repo'd the car.  Plaintiff claims they were going to meet at the police station, and she would pay the money she owed on the car.   However, defendant finally repo'd the car, after plaintiff demanded to come to defendant's house to pay for the car.    This was two full months after plaintiff started payments on the car. 

Defendant sold the car, two days after the repo, for $600, because car was trashed.   

JJ points out that defendant made $1100 from plaintiff, and $600 from next buyer, so he's more than even. JJ actually sounds like she's giving something to plaintiff, which is wrong.   

Plaintiff receives $300, the difference between what she bought the car for, and what defendant received. iPad claim dismissed.

Teen Accused of Scamming the Sick! -Plaintiff /seriously ill man Gary Stewart is suing defendant/teen employee Xiomara Arnett   for stealing money from him.   Defendant says money came out of plaintiff’s account for over a year, so she claims he must have known about the money disappearing.   The money went for defendant’s car payment.  Defendant says plaintiff agreed that if she drove him around, that he would pay her car payment.  Defendant says she also cleaned his old office, an 8 by 10 foot room, and packed up his ex-girlfriend’s stuff to return to her.   

Defendant claims plaintiff paid her and a co-worker every time they came over to run errands, or cleaned for him.  

Plaintiff claims he was in a coma after a car accident, and he was hospitalized for over two months, and heavil.  After he got out of the hospital, and recovered he went to the bank and found out defendant was taking $700 for car payments, and hundreds of dollars taken out each month.    Payments were taken out while plaintiff was in the hospital, and he wasn’t in communication with defendant.

(This happened in Oceanside, CA)

Plaintiff submits defendant’s text messages, and police report. However, text sinks plaintiff’s claim of not knowing about the withdrawals until September, because texts between litigants the prior February about the car payments on plaintiff’s car.  

$4326, after complaint was amended, is plaintiff’s claim.

A funny moment is when defendant tries to leave the court early, and Officer Byrd and JJ call her back.

Plaintiff case dismissed, plaintiff knew about the withdrawals in February, not September.

Martial Arts Fight Fraud? -Plaintiff/ticket seller Melissa Lang suing defendant Jonathan Mortell for giving her a fraudulent check for fight tickets to a UFC fight, for $250.  Plaintiff claims defendant gave her a check for the ticket, but check bounced.   Defendant has excuses about why the check bounced.

First he claims he switched banks, and check was good when he gave it to plaintiff.   Then, defendant claims he paid plaintiff $200 cash at the casino, so check should never have been cashed.   His sworn statement says he loaned

$250, plus $15 bank fees for plaintiff, so $265.

The Engagement Ring Collector? -Plaintiff/ex-fiance and father of defendant's kids Jeffrey Mackie suing defendant /ex-girlfriend mother of two kids with plaintiff Anna Peak over the value of an engagement ring.   They lived together for two years, but were a couple for nine years, and have two children together. 

After a few years, plaintiff proposed, and they bought the ring.  Plaintiff claims he was a victim of domestic violence, by defendant.  The assault happened in year two, and lived together for seven more years.   Plaintiff left after defendant notified landlord that plaintiff would be leaving at the end of the month.   They are going by the first child's custody order, and he's paying $600 a month for child support for two months.  He has 50/50 shared custody, so why child support?   Actually, defendant has one kid almost full time, and more than 50/50 for oldest child.   

After two months plaintiff stopped paying child support, and claims defendant was spending a lot on trips, with other men, so she didn't need support, and bought a brand new car too.   

Plaintiff wants $5,000, after defendant sold the engagement ring to pay her bills. 

JJ will have to decide who's ring it was.   Bail was placed after another domestic violence report by plaintiff against defendant, and defendant used the engagement ring for her mother to halp pay defendant's bail.   Defendant received $2,000 when she sold the ring, because her business was having issues.   Defendant claims the plaintiff has IRS debts too, and is counter claiming for unpaid rent and utility bills.

Defendant sold ring to someone online, for $2,000. 

Plaintiff case dismissed for non-payment of child support  In hall-terview he says she's a ring collector, been married three times, and engaged a bunch of times. 

Hoarder or Heavy Drinker?  -Plaintiff Brooklyn Merritt/former tenant  suing defendant Cameron Siminski /former landlord, for tooth damages when plaintiff fell over defendant's junk.    Plaintiff says defendant, her mother, brother, and various others lived in the house too.   Police came to the house frequently because of disputes between defendant and her relatives.     Plaintiff claims she tripped over defendant's hoarded junk pile, and broke her teeth.   

However, defendant has a video of plaintiff saying she doesn't know who broke her teeth or how it happened, and claims plaintiff was drunk.  

The photos plaintiff submits of the 'hoard' is nothing.   JJ tells plaintiff she should use her phone flashlight, or carry a flashlight in her car.    

Plaintiff case dismissed

Blood, Booze, and Birthdays -Plaintiff/apartment tenant Nancy Waraich suing former friends/defendants Shiva Marandi (sober sister)  and (drunk sister) Royea Marandi for apartment damage after a drunken birthday bash.  Defendant witness Mr. Newble (sober) drove women home to plaintiff’s apartment, says plaintiff and Royea were drunk, but Shiva claims to be sober.   Plaintiff says by the next morning her apartment was trashed by Royea Marandi, including scads of blood all over the apartment.    Defense witness dropped the two defendants off at plaintiff’s apartment, and they had a key.   

Litigants met at plaintiff’s apartment, went out drinking, and then witness dropped the defendants off at plaintiff’s apartment.   Royea cut her finger severely on a broken glass, leaving blood stains everywhere. When plaintiff got home the next morning, there was blood everywhere from Royea’s severely cut finger.    A neighbor called police because of Royea’s screaming, and Shiva claims police wouldn’t let Mr. Newble and Shiva take Royea to the hospital, and Royea took a cab.   Then Mr. Newble and Shiva stayed to clean up the bloody apartment.  Shiva claims the police told her and Mr. Newble to stay at the apartment and clean it.

JJ doesn’t believe Shiva’s story, and I don’t either.

Pictures of the bloody apartment are submitted by plaintiff.    There are blood stains on furniture, tile, carpet, a broken toilet tank lid.   JJ is wrong, blood stains on tile clean up, but not if it’s in the grout. 

Royea claims to remember nothing about the entire night.  

Plaintiff has an estimate for professional carpet cleaning, will have to replace the sofa, and since it’s a rental, the carpet in one room will have to be replaced.

Shiva claims the TV wasn’t damaged, and since she was lying to JJ about the police, and the events of the evening and night, so JJ won’t consider anything Shiva said.

Plaintiff receives $3,000.

 

Emergency Brake Bash! -Plaintiff Robyn Carley (mother of defendant’s ex-boyfriend)   suing defendant/son’s ex-girlfriend Jennifer Culver for a loan to buy a car, and unpaid rent.     Plaintiff ex says defendant would leave car in gear, and this time the  car went across the street and slammed into a neighbor’s tree.   Defendant blames her boyfriend, Ben Carley,  for her car crash, because she was on the phone to him when the accident happened. 

Son and defendant lived in a condo paid for by plaintiff mother.   Plaintiff claims defendant didn’t pay rent.

Defendant told ex-boyfriend that she actually was chasing the car down the driveway, after leaving it in gear.  Defendant totaled a 97 Jetta, and that is the car that rolled down the driveway, and it crashed into the neighbor’s tree.   Defendant wouldn’t leave car in first gear, and claims the emergency brake failed.  After the accident, defendant needed to replace the car, so asked plaintiff mother for a loan for another car.   Ben and Jennifer each had their own cars.  

Check to car dealership from plaintiff Robyn was $5100, defendant repaid only $1000.   Defendant is counter suing for cleaning supplies, clothes, and a TV.   Plaintiff Robyn says the 15 totes belonging to defendant are at the condo, in the shed, but defendant hasn’t picked them up.

Plaintiff receives $4,000 for the loan.

 

Dog Poisoning? -Plaintiff/tenant Austin Singer and girlfriend Calle Clark are suing defendant / landlord Sammi Schindler for poisoning his dog, and is suing for vet bills, $5,000.    Plaintiff cut a doggy door hole in the back door, and his dogs had without permission, allowing dog access to the back yard.

Plaintiff Singer’s lease says 1 medium dog allowed, and he actually moved in with three dogs.   Defendant told plaintiff at move in that she had rat traps around the property, and the pest control company showed him the locations of the traps.    Then two dogs were taken to the vet, and one dog showed evidence of rat poisoning.     Plaintiff Austin claims his 60 lb. lab cross, is a medium dog (not it’s not, medium isn’t 60 lbs. or a lab cross).   So, on move in Singer violated the lease by moving in with three dogs, much bigger than the lease allowed, and cutting the doggy door hole in the back door.    

Plaintiff Singer claims property manager gave him oral permission to rip the door apart to put in a doggy door.   Plaintiff also claims that the trap that poisoned his dog weren’t from the pest control company, but were landlord’s old traps.   Defendant claims the years she lived in the house, and after renting it out, she never filled her own traps, but used a pest control company. 

So, the act of cutting the doggy door allowed the dogs to have access to the poison traps, and also be exposed to dead rats from the traps.  I hope defendant evicted plaintiffs for violating the lease too.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.  (dog survived by the way)

Mom Not a Fan of My Wife -Plaintiff/mother-in-law Margaret Smith suing defendant/son William Smith for lease breaking fees, and  for another loan to retain an  attorney fees for a divorce and child custody case, after son reunites with his wife.  The son and wife also have three children too.   

 Plaintiff claims son called her, told her the wife left him, paid the fee.   $1500 was the loan for the lease breaking fee, and mother helped son move back home too.   Son paid rent when he landed a full time job.   Plaintiff denies son paid rent until his wife reconciled, and moved into the mother's home. 

(This was in Waldorf, MD).  Plaintiff also gave defendant money for a divorce attorney, $2000 retainer,  and son claims the attorney refunded his retainer, but only $1200.   Son then spent the money, instead of repaying the mother. 

Why couldn't son visit his children in Virginia?   Waldorf is in the D.C. area, so where did the wife live with the kids?   

After wife and kids moved in there was a big argument, and so son, wife, and kids moved out. 

So, loans total $2,000.    JJ says the $1500 lease breaking fee had no agreement to repay.  Plaintiff receives $2,000.

(for cases like the video assault, I suspect that JJ's staff forward the video or a tape of the show to the appropriate authorities. Mandated reporter requirements depend on the statel, and California, where JJ was filmed, doesn't have a requirement for non-professionals to report anything.   But I bet JJ and her staff reported a bunch of people to authorities, for child cases, and the IRS.)

That guy was so fucking incoherent I couldn't stand it. A real winner for sure--someone you would proudly take home to meet the folks and have him proudly tell them about his many incarcerations.

regarding the ring:  He should have gotten the money she made from it.  She seemed like a real grifter, to me at least.

I wonder of JJ is a mandated reporter in that she is obliged to report any and all child abuse to the proper authorities.  She sure hears a lot of cases in regard to that.  I am specifically talking about the video of the mother of the 18 month child assaulting the father while he was holding him.

Truck Surrender?! –Plaintiff (mother) Cathy Valentine and (son) Jeremiah Valentine suing defendant/buyer Noah Peterson for the return or value of a truck they sold to defendant for $200. It was sold for $200,  because truck wasn’t running.  Defendant worked on the truck, and spent a month fixing up the truck, starter, belts, alternator, etc.  Unfortunately, truck had a bad title and paperwork,  and couldn’t be registered.  

So, Cathy Valentine decided that the plaintiffs would buy the truck back for $200, but defendant spent a lot of time and effort repairing the truck.  Cathy says since defendant’s brother works with her son, the issue was causing trouble for son at work.   So, Cathy said they cleared the title by writing a check to DMV.    Cathy Valentine took her checkbook to write out a check to DMV to clear the title, and offered defendant cash to buy the truck back.  However, defendant lied about plaintiff Cathy offering him cash for the truck, and JJ is not happy about being lied to. 

Cathy offered in the DMV parking lot to buy the truck back, with a check, but defendant refused it.   Then, Cathy went to the bank to get cash.

Defendant says he wouldn’t take a check from plaintiff because they have a history of writing bad checks.   Defendant says she paid him $100 cash, for the harassment, not to buy the vehicle back.   Defendant says his witness got ripped off with a bad check from plaintiffs before.    JJ allows defendant to submit the texts, and the restraining orders granted against plaintiffs.  

Defendant witness gives testimony that plaintiff was following defendant Noah home from work, going by defendant’s house repeatedly.   Then, when defendant went to drive the truck, the wheel came off at 45 mph.   I find the fact that a repaired truck had the wheel come off very suspicious considering the amount of work defendant put into the truck.   Defendant submits the restraining orders he has received against plaintiffs.  (This all happened in Duluth, MN)

$238 to plaintiffs, and defendant keeps the truck. 

Bad Luck Police Bump! -Plaintiff (mother) Gracie Paige is suing defendant/(son) Ralph DePeyster for car damages after son wrecks her car.  Son was driving the mother’s Mercedes, when he hit the officer’s car.  He hit a police officer’s private vehicle.  At least when you hit a police officer’s vehicle, they know how to fill out the paperwork. 

Plaintiff didn't have collision insurance on the 1999 car, a Mercedes CLK. It's only worth $2,025 according to Officer Byrd's KBB, corrected to $3750.   So, plaintiff overpaid for the car. 

$3125 to plaintiff for the car.

Catfight Over a Jailbird -Plaintiff /Fool #1 Regina Paschall suing defendant/Fool #2  Dierdra Canty for an assault, and harassment.    The two women( ages 51 and 54 at the time of the case) were fighting over an incarcerated loser. Plaintiff says she wasn’t exclusive with boyfriend.   Defendant lived with boyfriend, and thought they were exclusive.   JJ says she doesn’t understand that two mature, sensible sounding women are fighting over this piece of crap.

Boyfriend is serving six years for stalking, strangulation in the third degree, and domestic violence, for an assault on defendant.  Both litigants lived in the complex, and boyfriend lived there too.

Day after Christmas, plaintiff needed to go to the child provider service center, granddaughter was riding her bike around the parking lot, granddaughter said she saw the loser’s other lady,  and plaintiff claims for almost a year, defendant repeatedly assaulted plaintiff.   Defendant says plaintiff called her first, and defendant lied that she was convict’s wife.      Plaintiff claims she ran into defendant by accident, defendant supposedly said she was there to fight plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims defendant punched her very hard, and she saw stars.  Plaintiff starts crying in court.    Defendant says she was in the complex to get her belongings from loser’s place, while he was in jail.   Defendant never asked the court for permission to go into loser’s apartment with a police stand-by, she never asked for an order.

Defendant claims the victims advocate at the court house told her to get a civil standby, contact the landlord, and could pick up her stuff.   Defendant is full of crap.  

Defendant lies again and says she looked through the open blinds, says she saw some of her stuff in boxes, and when she went down to the parking lot, and saw plaintiff, and assaulted her.

Plaintiff submits her medical records and a police report.  Defendant not only beat up plaintiff, but bit plaintiff on the face.

$5,000 to plaintiff

Uber Boyfriend Dispute -Plaintiff Ruben Avila suing defendant/former boyfriend  Brandon Basenback for repayment of a down payment for a car.  Defendant says it wasn’t a loan, but a joint investment.    When they broke up defendant kept the car, and claims plaintiff can use the car any time he wants to.   Car is in both men’s names.    Finance company has the car title until car is paid off.   They paid $4100 down, and plaintiff says car is worth about $3,000 now.    Plaintiff claims defendant was going to pay him back, but has no proof.     Defendant says they bought the car jointly, and use it for Uber.  Plaintiff has another car, and drives for Lyft. 

Plaintiff receives $2000 for the down payment. (down payment was $4100, but car has gone down in value by 50%)

Boys on the Hood! -Plaintiff Rosita Thomas suing defendant/grandaughter's boyfriend Terrell Hunter  for car damages caused when defendant jumped on the hood of plaintiff’s car. Plaintiff borrowed her grandmother's car, and much later boyfriend jumped on the hood of the car and dented it.  Plaintiff Thomas is suing for the $500 deductible.

Plaintiff Thomas sits down, because she wasn't at the incident when the car was damaged.   Then grandaughter Lynette McCreary stands up to testify.  Lynette borrowed grandma's car after driving another grandma to work.   Plaintiff Lynette was driving, and boyfriend was riding with her, and they argued, because Lynette found out boyfriend was 'talking to' other girls.  Car was parked outside Lynette's home.   Hunter wanted to go home, and Lynette told him to ask one of the other women defendant is talking to, to give him a ride.   Then, when defendant got out of the car, they kept arguing, and boyfriend/Hunter jumped on plaintiff's car hood and dented it. 

Melody Hunter, is defense witness for her brother.  She claims she came to pick her brother up, and saw the argument.  

Defendant denies stepping on the car hood or top, and his sister witness backs him up.  JJ wants to know who did the other scratches and dents that were not blamed on the boyfriend. 

(What the hell did Lynette do to her hair? It's hideous.  So, are her many tattoos, shown by her skimpy cocktail dress. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, there is no proof of defendant damaging the car, and since grandmother/car owner says damage happened when granddaughter had car, JJ says grandmother should sue Lynette. 

Childcare Miscalculation -Plaintiff/childcare provider Taquilla Malone is suing defendant/ex-friend Jazzmin Nickerson for payment of childcare charges.  There was some state program that would pay plaintiff for hours she watched the defendant's child.   There is a time sheet produced by plaintiff, with hours and days of childcare.  Time sheet has to be signed by defendant, and sent in to the program for plaintiff to be paid.   JJ tells defendant to sign the time sheet. 

Defendant said she refused to sign the time sheet because plaintiff didn't watch her child the entire time, but plaintiff's mother did.  

Defendant says she waited outside for plaintiff to come out so she could sign the time sheet, defendant was late for work, and time sheet was blank, and claims plaintiff demanded she sign the fraudulent form.  

JJ says the time sheet submitted by plaintiff looks like all of the days and hours were filled out at the same time, with the same pen.  Defendant says plaintiff only watched the child for 9 days total, and plaintiff put down a lot of other time.   Defendant has text messages from another friend who watched her child for many of the days plaintiff is claiming. 

Plaintiff claims she put dates and time she worked on her calendar, and put them on the form later.   Plaintiff is claiming 16 days, and defendant says son was at plaintiff's on 9 days.   

JJ says plaintiff should get for 9 days, $196.00 to plaintiff.

Obsessed Stalker? -Plaintiff Shaki Battikhi suing defendant Amy Lindhorst for the return of money for lingerie, and a birthday dinner.  Plaintiff paid for dinner, and bought her lingerie at Victoria’s Secret.  After she rejected him,  defendant refused to give the money, and gifts back.     Plaintiff found out about a party with defendant and friends a couple of days later, and he wasn’t invited.   Both litigants are icky.    Plaintiff returned a purse that he bought for her.    Dinner was $1200.   Plaintiff says he fell in love with defendant the first time he saw her.   After plaintiff made physical advances, defendant rebuffed him.  Then plaintiff wanted the money for dinner back, and the lingerie paid for because it wasn’t in returnable condition. 

Plaintiff gave defendant a $3,000 Yves St Laurent purse at the dinner. Defendant returned the purse and gave plaintiff the money back.

 (This was in Newport Beach, CA).  

Defendant claims plaintiff came to her workplace, and sent her texts demanding money for the dinner.  JJ is right, defendant should have given the dinner money to plaintiff, to get rid of him. 

Money for birthday dinner paid to plaintiff $1460, nothing for lingerie. Nothing to defendant.

Six-Car Sideswipe!-Plaintiffs Gerald MacDonald suing defendant Derek Cupp for damage to his vehicle, after defendant hit six parked cars while driving in reverse, at 2 a.m., for $2592.     Plaintiff's daughter actually drove the car.    Defendant is about to tell a huge lie, and JJ doesn't like that.  (This happened in Cincinnati) 

Defendant his six other vehicles during the accident. De’Wan Lucas is one of three defense witnesses (the fools that were being driven home by defendant). JJ doesn’t believe anything the witness or defendant says.    

Defendant admits his car hit the six parked cars, after Cupp and his friends were drinking until almost 2 a.m.    Defendant claims he was the designated driver that night, and wasn't drinking (total crap-ola).  Defendant was backing up to park, far down the block, and another car came down the hill, hit him head on (photos show no damage on the front of his car, just the side), and pushed him into six other cars.   Defendant's car was not insured at the time of the accident.  However, he called the insurance company to renew minutes after the accident.     

There is a video submitted by plaintiff of his car being towed, it shows side damages, not front end.  Alfa insurance (defendant's former insurance company) sent plaintiff a letter saying not only was defendant not covered, but called to try to reinstate insurance the next morning. 

$2692 for the plaintiffs.

 

Hockey Violence Victim -Plaintiff/ father Kenneth Fleitz (Easton Fleitz)   is suing defendant/father Michael Lojewski (Zachary Lojewski) for plaintiff’s kid getting a concussion at a kiddie hockey game, from a brazen assault by defendant’s son.   It’s obvious that defendant son did the slamming of plaintiff’s son, and people have been charged for similar hits at adult hockey games.  

The video of the game shows defendant bully was the aggressor, and the defendant's despicable father is proud of what his son did.  JJ has Zachary come to the witness chair, and lie to her face.   Zachary claims Easton was hitting him, and he only pushed Zachary away.   Zachary is full of crap.  The video shows Zachary is a liar. 

My guess is defendant is raising his son to be an enforcer.   In the hall-terview, despicable defendant father says plaintiff’s son should take up ballet, not hockey.   Defense witness stands up and defends what Zachary did.    

Plaintiff receives $389 for medical bills only. 

Float My Houseboat -    Plaintiff/buyer Brijean Murphy  is suing defendant/seller Jeff West for return of the deposit on the houseboat, $1075.    However, plaintiff says the title for the houseboat isn't in seller's name, so boat cannot be registered.  

Defendant bought houseboat and has a bill of sale, and only bought the houseboat to sell it.    Houseboat seller has several ridiculous reasons that the title to the houseboat isn’t in his name.

Defendant claims you take your Bill of Sale to DMV, and they issue a title to the boat.   Defendant says he bought the boat from someone else, but never got around to registering the boat.  

I don't understand how any DMV will take a bill of sale from someone who is not the registered owner of a boat, and give the buyer a title.   Plaintiff says boat didn't have a VIN number either. 

Deposit was $500, and boat is still at defendant's marina slip. 

Plaintiff gets $500, and defendant keeps his boat.

Honest to God, @CrazyInAlabama,, that case made my head spin.  I could not follow it and was too apathetic to rewind.

eta:  did you see the eop wherein a young woman got pregnant approx. 17 days after def. was released from prison? She said the baby was about 6 weeks old; and she claims the def. for breaking the computer {which I am sure he did, but she had no actual proof, so JJ ruled against her.

She had a complete and total meltdown when she realized that JJ j had little time and patience with her. I sort of felt sorry for her, and I'm sorry to say I judged her life choices. The real looser {among the three of them} was the innocent baby.

Attitude Ingratitude! -Plaintiff/sister Amanda Masuca suing defendant/sister Stephanie Weeks  for two loans, a broken lap top, and medical bills after an assault.   Plaintiff claims after she sent texts to defendant asking for repayment of the loans, and the laptop defendant broke, that defendant was drunk and assaulted her.    Defendant claims plaintiff actually assaulted her, and that defendant babysits for plaintiff, so that repaid plaintiff for loans.   JJ jumps on defendant for contradictory testimony, and a stank attitude to the court proceedings.

Plaintiff witness Marcel Masuca testifies he bought laptop for wife.   Then, defendant wanted to borrow a laptop to job hunt, then she claims laptop stopped working, and she returned it to plaintiff.   Plaintiff says defendant took computer apart to let it dry out, because her dog threw up on it. Defendant claims she doesn’t have a dog.

Plaintiff loaned $500 to plaintiff for a security deposit.   Defendant says it was a gift from plaintiff. When plaintiff was texting and calling defendant for repayment of the loan, defendant said it was already paid back by babysitting for plaintiff.   This is the first time defendant was called at work by plaintiff, she says for 20 times.    Defendant also claims she ran plaintiff around on errands too. 

Plaintiff claims her drunk sister came to her home, and assaulted her, and plaintiff wants her medical bills paid.  

Plaintiff gets $500 for the security deposit, $300 for the laptop, $700 for utility bills.    Plaintiff’s medical bills were paid for by insurance, so she won’t be getting that. 

$1500 for plaintiff, for the two loans and the laptop.

 Muslim Good Samaritan? -Plaintiff Margarita Ambert suing defendant /Good Samaritan Anita Sesay     for kicking her out after three days, and wants her rent returned.   Defendant took plaintiff in from a bad situation, and later kicked plaintiff out when she found plaintiff was using drugs.       Lease says no sleep overs, no drugs or alcohol.   Defendant says plaintiff stayed almost a month.   (This was in Portland, OR)

Defendant says she told plaintiff before she came in her apartment that there would be no drugs or alcohol, and it’s right in the lease too.   Defendant saw her drugs, and called plaintiff, who was at ex-boyfriend’s house again, and told her to leave.    So, plaintiff went back to her ‘bad situation’ boyfriend.

Plaintiff gets her $200 rent back, if only defendant had a photo of the drugs.  I would have given plaintiff zero, she breached the lease by having drugs.    

 

Money for Nothing? -Plaintiffs /car buyers Leigh Ann Dunnigan and daughter Sarah are suing  defendant/a friend of a friend Sean Holmes who found them a car, because car broke down, and they want their money back.   Plaintiff daughter was given a check by mother’s brother, for $3,000, so they had cash.    So, plaintiff mother meets a friend of a neighbor, and gives him $1500 in cash to go find a car for daughter.   The plaintiffs didn’t know defendant before this.  

Check from brother was actually for $4,000, so $3,000 for the car, and $1,000 for bills, so plaintiff mother was keeping cash around. 

Defendant finds a car, for $3,000.  Then car broke down, and plaintiffs had it towed to defendant’s home.

Defendant says he felt bad about the car breaking down, which makes JJ says this isn’t Dr. Phil. Defendant said he would find plaintiffs another car that plaintiffs would like, but he couldn’t so they get their $3,000 back.   Too bad he didn’t have an “As Is” bill of sale or contract.

$3,000 to plaintiffs.

Mystery Shopper Injustice? -Plaintiff Candy Justice suing former girlfriend/defendant Shira Byrd  for a fraudulent check plaintiff cashed for defendant, and for a bike.  Defendant says it was a mystery shopper deal, you go into stores, act like a customer, evaluate the stores cleanliness, customer service, etc., send in the evaluation, and you get a check.

Check was for $1950, and since defendant didn’t have a checking account, she asked plaintiff to cash the check, and it was a bad check.   Defendant is counter suing for storage fees for the bike.  (This was in Chesterfield, MI).

Plaintiff told defendant that the check was fraudulent, and defendant claims the bank cashed it, and gave plaintiff money, and six days later the bank said the check was fraudulent and took the $1950 from plaintiff’s bank account.

Plaintiff gets her bike back with a police standby, plus $1975.   Defendant’s ridiculous case dismissed.   

Payday Intercepted! -Plaintiff  John Hammonds suing defendant/ Paula LeBleu suing defendant for intercepting and cashing plaintiff’s insurance check.    Defendant is plaintiff witness’s ex wife.   Plaintiff got stuck between plaintiff and defendant when plaintiff witness had a car accident.  Plaintiff runs a body shop, and was to fix the truck   Plaintiff was sent a $3800 by plaintiff witness insurance company, but check went to old address, and defendant kept it. 

$3800 to plaintiff.

Bash or Crash?  (Defendant was supposedly hit by plaintiff with her car, and he has another pending lawsuit against someone else for hitting him with a car.  Unlucky isn't he? Damage to plaintiff's car is on the back, so she didn't hit him.  Defendant is also on worker's comp for workplace injuries).

Grieving Siblings Demand Justice! -Plaintiffs (sister) Andrea Lewis and (brother) Ralph Sutter are suing defendant/late sister’s (Cindly) former neighbor Jack Rix for selling late sister's belongings .     Siblings accuse their late sister’s neighbor of selling her belongings, but sister was alive when items were sold.  Defendant says he sold the items at the sister's request. 

Plaintiffs live out of state, Cindy lived in Georgia, then she moved in with brother in Maryland.      Then, Cindy moved in with brother, and defendant had the yard sale, he says at Cindy's request, and sent a money order.      Defendant and late sister's daughter helped the ailing sister before her move to Maryland.     

JJ points out to plaintiff sister that when the yard sale happened, that it was at Cindy's request and she was alive when that happened, and before the POA was signed.   Yard sale was before POA to brother was signed by Cindy.   Sadly, Cindy wanted to move back to Georgia, and get the rest of her stuff.   Plaintiffs allege that defendant stole a lot from Cindy's house, sold items and kept the money. 

I'm ticked, plaintiff woman just called JJ "Judy", how disrespectful.   Money order was cashed by Cindy. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it's garbage.   

Repossession Romance Fail -Plaintiff Natasha 'Tash' Sosa suing defendant/ ex Roman Rennard for repayment of a loan for a truck after it was repossessed.  Defendant claims it wasn’t a loan, it was a gift.    Defendant says relationship wasn't serious, but he told plaintiff his truck was repossessed, so she made the huge mistake of loaning him money. 

Defendant says he stopped paying plaintiff, because she was harassing him to repay the money.  (This happened in Sacramento, CA)

$2100 was needed to get the truck back from impound.  Roman called his dad, and a few other people to tell them about the truck repo, and his need for money.   Then, he called plaintiff and she loaned him the money to get the truck back.  Then, when they broke up, defendant stopped paying plaintiff, and claims she was harassing him.   

Defendant claims he repaid plaintiff $1300, then stopped. 

$1600 to plaintiff for the deadbeat defendant's loan.

Single Mom Married Boyfriend! -Plaintiff /desperate fool and SSMOO-(Sainted Single Mother of One)   Zorah Williams is suing defendant / ex-boyfriend (who is married) Richard Reape for repayment of loans.  After the loans, that defendant calls gifts, she found out he was not only still married, but lived at his home with his wife and three kids. 

Plaintiff is single with one child, and defendant claims they were only work acquaintances.  Plaintiff says they were ‘talking’, and we all know what that means.  Defendant says he didn’t get any loans, but plaintiff occasionally gifted him money, and he doesn’t remember how much or when.   This is when JJ and defendant are saying “Wow!” that is on the commercials for the show.

Plaintiff says the intimate part of their relationship occurred at her home, at the early part of their relationship.  Defendant’s statement to the court admits they were intimate, and that plaintiff gave him a lot of money.   

Plaintiff claims she thought that defendant was separated, or ended relationship with girlfriend/wife.  She was also his assistant manager, and started giving him more hours to help him out with his finances.  Totally immoral of her to do that.   Plaintiff left the company they both worked at, and she continued to give money to defendant.

Plaintiff claims she gave $4800 to defendant.   She also claims defendant would pay her back when defendant and wife got their tax refund back.  She also claims defendant was living with his sister, but he never left his marital home. 

If plaintiff says “I’m a single mom” one more time, I’m going to scream. 

There was no contract for repayment either.  She gave him $2,000 for a down payment too.   Then, plaintiff found out he was still living with his wife before she loaned him the $1500.

Plaintiff receives $0.  I would have given plaintiff nothing, he never paid anything back, and she continued to give him money.   She had no expectation of repayment. 

Cheating on Facebook -Plaintiff  / cheating boyfriend Anterio Smith is accusing ex-girlfriend/defendant Patricia Dunston of stealing his property.   They lived together in Smith’s apartment, with defendant’s son, and plaintiff claims when she left she stole property from him. 

Plaintiff says defendant decided he was a cheater, from seeing Facebook messages, but plaintiff says they were clients. 

When defendant moved out, plaintiff wasn’t home, she left the door key under the mat, and anyone could have used it to steal from plaintiff’s apartment.   If plaintiff had put the key in the locked mailbox, and left a note or sent a text to plaintiff saying where the keys were, then his apartment wouldn’t have been burglarized.  So, either defendant was the thief, or she left the key out where anyone could find them, and that’s when the plaintiff’s property was taken. Plaintiff says his entire living room set, 2 TVs, Jordan sneaker collection, and other items, and he has receipts for everything. 

$4700 to plaintiff. 

 

Twin Girls Repo Ride! -Plaintiff/co-signer(co-signer = fool) William Chamberlain is suing defendant/father of plaintiff’s grandchildren’ and plaintiff's daughter's boyfriend Thomas Grossi ,  for non-payment and a repo.  Daughter has twin daughters with plaintiff's daughter.   The car was co-signed between Chamberlain and Rossi, then car was repo'd, sold at auction, and plaintiff wants the money for the shortfall.    

Defendant says it's plaintiff's fault that car was repossessed.   Defendant is counter suing for everything he paid on the car.   This was the second time car was repo'd, but this time it was sold at auction.   Loan amount is $3800, but with fees is $4875.  Original price of car was $10,000.   

After defendant was laid off by the company plaintiff works at, car was repossessed.   Defendant pretty much calls plaintiff a fool for co-signing for the car.   Defendant lost his driver's license for not paying for tickets he racked up, and since defendant was a truck driver at the company, his job was gone. Defendant actually says plaintiff should have paid for the car, just like he did the first time it was repo'd.  

(North Providence, RI is where this happened).  Even though defendant was laid off for not performing the job by not having a license, he qualified for unemployment. 

$4400 to plaintiff. 

Mangled Motorcycle Mix-Up! -Plaintiff Jose Paz suing defendant/cousin John McCormack for wrecking his motorcycle, after plaintiff told defendant not to ride the bike.   Cousin/defendant went to pick up the bike, because plaintiff was in the slammer for a DUI.   Cousin had a wreck that totaled the bike, and severely injured him on the way home from picking up the bike. 

Defendant was riding an "S" bend, hit a curb, flew off, and hit an oncoming truck with his body.    Defendant wants $5k for his injuries.  Officer Byrd says bike was worth anywhere from $2400 to $4500, depending on condition, and mileage.   Plaintiff had no insurance on bike either.   Police report says defendant was speeding, made an unsafe curb, and was ejected.  

How many DUI's or how many people do you have to injure or kill to get prison time for a DUI? He was in the slammer for six months. 

After the wreck, motorcycle went to a tow yard, and sold in a lien sale for storage.   Plaintiff had no insurance either. 

Plaintiff receives $3,200.   Defendant's stupid claim dismissed

Ex-Fiance Crash! -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Letisha Frankenbeck is suing defendant/ex-fiance Michael Merrill for crashing her car and injuring her.  Plaintiff is suing defendant for $2,000, for her deductible and hospital bills. 

 Defendant claims accident was plaintiff's fault.     Defendant didn't have a license, and says he only drove because plaintiff told him too.  He already gave her $250 for part of her deductible, and says he only paid her to get her off his back about money. 

Plaintiff lies to JJ, and says she didn't know defendant didn't have a driver's license. 

(I wouldn't give plaintiff a penny, she's lying about not knowing her loser ex didn't have a license). 

Plaintiff claims defendant told her after the accident that he didn't have a license, and so she jumped in the driver's seat.   Defendant say he was driving her to the bank, they argued and he says she slapped him, causing him to wreck the car. 

$750 to plaintiff.

Beloved Car Trashed by Ex! -Plaintiff Terrance May suing ex- girlfriend/defendant Jasmine Williams for throwing a flower pot through his windshield, denting the side of his car with a rock, and throwing a brick through his window, and for pain and suffering (his or the car's pain and suffering?).  (This happened in San Jose, CA)

Plaintiff dumped defendant, she went outside, and he saw her throw a flower pot through his windshield.  When plaintiff saw this he told Jasmine to leave and stay gone, and started hauling her personal items outside, and she physically tried to stop him from putting her stuff on the living room floor.  

JJ says Terrance shouldn't have treated defendant's stuff like trash.   After he put everything belonging to defendant in the living room, he told her to take her stuff and leave, and he claims she broke the bedroom door. Plaintiff says defendant was throwing a tantrum, but so was he.  

They agreed for him to pack everything in her car, and then defendant roommate showed up, and he took the last item outside and put in her car.  Then plaintiff saw defendant pick up a flower pot, and throw it through his windshield.   So, defendant called police.   

Jasmine says she did nothing physical, and didn't smash the windshield, or the broken window with a brick, or break the bedroom door, dent the car side with a brick, or break the window either.    Plaintiff's roommate saw the flower pot incident.   Then, defendant says 'no one saw me do it', so she says that is proof she didn't do it.   Roommate saw the rock throwing too.  

Then, roommate and plaintiff saw the back windshield hit by Jasmine and a rock, and though the window didn't break, there were scratches on the paint. 

Officer Byrd and JJ get a kick out of defendant saying she didn't do it, because no one saw her.   

Plaintiff gets $2500. (partially to fix his car, and for giving JJ such a good time)

Tire Kicking or Car Whipping? -Plaintiff/ex-coworker  Pelishi Jordan suing defendant /ex-coworker Albert Harris for kicking her car and denting it.  Defendant says he kicked the tire, 'being cute'.   

$350 for plaintiff. 

Ungrateful Aunt’s Trailer Trash? -Plaintiff /aunt Karolyn Keene  suing defendant / niece Lenora Mitchell for destroying her mobile home, $5,000.   Aunt was taking care of mother until mother died.   When mother died, brother inherited the house, and sold house to niece/defendant.   Aunt lived in house rent free for many years (2006 to 2014).   Now aunt is suing niece for destroying the junky old mobile home aunt left on niece's property.     Aunt claims she didn't know the niece bought the property and house from her brother.   

Niece sent a certified letter after 8 years, telling aunt to leave, a 30-day notice to quit.   Aunt was technically a month-to-month tenant, even though she didn't pay rent.    

When aunt moved out, she left the trailer behind.   Niece owns the property, but didn't live there.  Niece had the trailer torn down for the value of the scrap metal.     (This happened in Supply, NC).   

Aunt took appliances out of the home when she moved out.  Photos show the house is trashed.   Aunt lived in the grandmother's house, and the trailer was behind the house, and when plaintiff finally left, she deserted the trailer.      

Niece bought the home, so it would stay in the family.   

Aunt was a squatter.   Niece decided to move to the property after she retired, and that's when she gave notice to quit.   Niece had been getting water bills for a long time, because aunt wasn't paying them.   Aunt knew niece was paying the water bill, because Aunt's boyfriend contacted niece to try to get the bill signed over to aunt. 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Lesbian Love Gone Wrong -Plaintiff Sharon Canul suing defendant/former girlfriend Jennifer Nave for the return of an engagement ring, and the cost of defendant's son's karate camp. Defendant says the ring was a gift, and not for an engagement, and the karate camp 'loan' was a gift.   Defendant says the ring is lost (bull pucky).  (this happened in Austin, TX)

Ring had three small diamonds in it.   Plaintiff bought ring at Kohl's.   Plaintiff bought the ring, had it sized, but never actually proposed to defendant. 

Defendant never returned the ring.   Then, defendant wanted money for her son's karate camp, and paid her four payments of $75 each ($300 total), and stopped paying.   Plaintiff says the payments happend at McDonald's parking lot, because plaintiff didn't want defendant to know where she moved to.   The ring picture taken by defendant looks like an engagement picture, but defendant denies that. 

Defendant is a supervisor at a school.   Defendant claims asking for the ring and repay the money was harassment.   

Karate camp was $1241, and only $300 was repaid.

$2612 to plaintiff for the ring, and karate camp loan.

Drunk Driving Disaster –Plaintiff /car owner Donna Connors suing defendants/drivers  Gwen Hackensmith (car owner) and (driver?) Jerry Jenkins for hitting plaintiff’s parked car.   Plaintiff thinks Gwen wasn’t driving, but owns the car, and Jerry hit the car.      Plaintiff’s daughter, Kristen Connors,  was driving the car, and parked car outside her workplace.   Gwen didn’t have insurance, as usual.    Gwen says she was without insurance for months, and since car was totaled and junked, she claims she no longer drives, and so no insurance.

Taylor Fagen was driving Gwen’s car, to a nightclub (she’s plaintiff witness), and she left with Jerry driving, even though both were drunk.  Taylor says Jerry grabbed the keys away from her, and started driving.     

Surveillance video from plaintiff daughter’s workplace shows the car hitting the plaintiff’s car.   However, you can see a very hard impact that moves the plaintiff’s car a lot, and the photos don’t show who’s driving.    However, Jerry says he drove after Taylor had the accident.   He says Taylor is trying to frame him.

JJ thinks Taylor was driving the car and hit plaintiff’s car, and then Jerry drove after the accident because Taylor had broken glasses, and was hysterical.

Plaintiff receives $3935 for car damages.  Plaintiff claim against Jerry is dismissed.  Defendant case dismissed.

Jerry says "Taylor drives pretty well when she's really drunk", proving he's a total idiot. 

Framed for Hit and Run? –Plaintiff Jerry Jenkins suing defendant Taylor Fagen for trying to frame him for the hit-and-run car accident on Donna Connors car.   Jerry says Taylor took the cell phone pictures of Jerry at the wheel, to frame him for the accident.   

Case dismissed, JJ doesn’t care, and neither do I.

The Movie Made Me Do It! -Plaintiff Christopher Brown (brother) suing defendant (sister)Lesley Brown and Carlos Owens (husband) for a cable bill unpaid by defendants that was in plaintiff's name.   

Plaintiff lived with sister and brother-in-law, and put cable in his name.  Carlos owed an outstanding bill, so couldn't get cable in his name.   Carlos says Christopher offered to get the cable bill, because "A Christmas Story" was coming on TV, and he really wanted to see it. 

Plaintiff says bill was supposed to be paid by defendant brother-in-law, and then when plaintiff moved out, defendants stopped paying the bill and plaintiff now owes $600.  

Case dismissed.  JJ believes defendant's story that plaintiff would pay the cable bill. 

 

Off-Road Collision! -Plaintiff/SUV owner James Unland   suing defendant/father of dirt bike rider Vincent Thomas for car damages from defendant's 16-year-old daughter, Cheyenne Thomas.  Plaintiff says teen was 13 at the time of the accident, defendants say she was 16 at the time of the accident (can 13 year-olds legally ride a dirt bike?).   The two vehicles collided after a blind curve.  SUV was hit by defendant teen. Trail is open to all vehicles, street legal or non-street legal with a green sticker for off-road use only.  Defendant father says he was right behind his daughter, and she did nothing wrong. 

Plaintiff is doing between 5 and 10 mph in 4-wheel-drive   Then on the other side of the curve, teen was coming from the other direction, and rammed into the SUV's driver's side.    Defendant father claims plaintiff was on the other side of the road, and it was plaintiff's fault.  Plaintiff was driving a Nissan XTerra.  Damage is on the drivers side of the SUV, and not on the front.  

Plaintiff was over the center of the road, but he was almost stopped, and it was a trail, not a regular road way.  

Defendant father claims he saw the whole incident, and he was fifteen yards behind his daughter.  I think father is full of crap.   Daughter was going 15 to 20 mph, too fast for a blind curve.    Also, defendant father claims that San Bernardino County has pull overs, but I don't see how you can safely get off the road, but the berm doesn't look wide and flat enough to pull over.  

However, it is riding at your own risk in these areas, so I wonder why plaintiff didn't make an insurance claim?  (I'm wondering why the father of teen kept reinforcing she was 16 when the accident happened?  My guess is the age to operate the dirt bike was 16, and young looking daughter wasn't at the time of the accident.   Also, she was going way too fast for that rough looking trail, and I think the defendant was going very slow, but she was speeding.   I didn't see anything next to the road that looked like a pull over, the berm was pretty high, even for an off-road area. ) 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Playing House No More! -Plaintiff/SSMOF (Sainted Single Mother of Five) Antoinette Rendon suing defendant / ex and father of one of her children  Armando Arganda for utility bills, and balance on a car plaintiff says defendant wrecked.

Plaintiff is a SAHM and income is from daughter receiving SSI for a disability, and child support for another child.    Plaintiff paid the car loan out of that income.   Plaintiff has one child from a previous relationship, one child with defendant and defendant has three other children with someone else.  I guess the children all stayed with plaintiff and defendant sometimes.   

Defendant says while they lived together for years, they each paid specific bills.  Plaintiff is suing for a car that was in an accident and totaled in 2009, this case was filmed in 2015.    So, she's suing six years after the accident, and they still lived together after the accident.  

Defendant pays child support to plaintiff also, and she's a student too. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Slumlord or Mooching Mama? -Plaintiff /landlord  Manuel Lara suing defendant/SSMO (Sainted Single Mother of ) Joana Ramirez for vandalizing his rental home, and stealing property after he evicted her.    Plaintiff served multiple notices to tenant, and finally legally evicted her.   Landlord claims house was trashed by defendant.  However, house looks like it was in bad shape before move in .  Landlord says the first three months were fine, with up to date rent, but after that rent was often late.   Utilities were in plaintiff’s name, because defendant had bad credit, and couldn’t get utilities in her name.   Defendant, her mother-in-law, and defendant’s children lived in the house.  When mother-in-law moved out, defendant could no longer afford the rent, and moved out.  Plot twist, defendant moved in with her mother-in-law in L.A. after this.   

Rent is paid up, but utilities total $140 for the final bill, and defendant didn’t pay it.  Plaintiff says they stole his stove and fridge, which landlord says he bought brand new for the house.   Defendant brother says he moved a stove and fridge out of the house, which defendant says were hers, and no receipt.

Stove and fridge were purchased from a second-hand store, so dismissed.  No receipts.

JJ wants move-in photos, and move-out photos.  

Before picture is nice, and only of the exterior, but a year before move-in by defendant.  Exterior siding was painted, and a year later paint was flaking off.  JJ says picture of exterior a year before move-in looks good, but the move-out picture is awful of the exterior.  I’m guessing they didn’t prep the exterior siding properly.    

Security deposit was never collected from defendants. At least, landlord says it wasn’t, but defendant claims she paid him the security in installments, and it was paid off.

Defendant took pictures on move in, and on move out.   Plaintiff claims only one room was clean, and undamaged, and that’s the one defendant took the photo of.   Rent was $900, and security was also.  Why do landlords fall for the we’ll pay you later from out tax refund routine.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Good Riddance to Bad Memories Y’All -Plaintiff Sheila Whitehead suing defendant /ex Joseph Redford for the usual ex-lover’s stuff, return of furniture.  The litigants had an on again, off again relationship.   Plaintiff’s witness is her other on again, off again boyfriend.      

Defendant says plaintiff owes him for a payday loan he took out in his name, but gave the money to plaintiff. 

Plaintiff has six hours on one day to come to defendant’s home, with a police stand-by, and if she doesn’t pick it up, then defendant can dispose of it as abandoned.   $920 was defendant's payday loan, for plaintiff, dismissed because it was used for bills for the litigants' household. 

 

Christian Mingling Scam? - Plaintiff /fool for love Janice Neal suing defendant/ex-online love and who plaintiff calls con artist, Sheldon Smith for repayment of $4,000.   They ‘met’ on Christian Mingle online site, and plaintiff claims defendant is a scammer who played with her feelings to cheat her out of money.        Neal says she sent defendant over $4,000 for his sick son, before finding out he was a con artist.  Plaintiff claims defendant  ripped off other women on Christian Mingle, Single People, Match, and Our Time, and others.

Defendant says he went on Christian Mingle only to make friends.    Defendant say his wife died when only child, now 35, was young, and he's a single father.  Defendant denies anyone else but Neal gave him money, then says his one friend gave him money.   Defendant claims son had financial issues, but is doing better now, but still won't pay back plaintiff, because he claims it was a gift.   

Plaintiff says defendant said his son was bipolar, and hosptialized, and defendant needed $4,000 to help his son.   

Defendant says if plaintiff told him the $4,000 was a gift, and he will pay her back if JJ says so. 

$4,000 to plaintiff. (I wouldn’t have paid her a penny.   She sent money voluntarily to a scammer, and there was no contract for repayment, or expectation he could repay her. However, someday defendant will scam the wrong person, and suffer the consequences.)        

 Jewelry Heist? -Plaintiff /jewelry designer Ellen Rodgers suing defendant Beverly Blakeney for stealing valuable jewelry pieces plaintiff says defendant had on consignment for her, and pieces went missing.   Plaintiff is a jewelry designer and craftsman.   Plaintiff has consigned many pieces through defendant's shop.   When defendant closed her shop, and moved to another shop where she was renting a booth.   

Defendant says she packed up 50 consigners' items, some were returned to consigners, and others went to the new store.   Defendant claims during unpacking, items went missing when she went from 1100 sq ft store, to a 10' x 10' booth.  Defendant tooks months to unpack everything, and claims items were stolen somewhere during the storage, or unpacking process. 

Plaintiff never had issues with defendant before this, but still says defendant was responsible for the jewelry items belonging to plaintiff.  

At the end of December, the woman who leased the space, shut down and locked out everyone, and so no one knows who stole the items.   When defendant went through the storage items, plaintiff's items, defendant's items, and other items were all missing after they moved to the new store.  

Plaintiff says her items were missing at the end of September, and lockout was December.  Plaintiff asks why defendant stayed in business with the store manager until December when manager disappeared. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.   No proof of carelessness by defendant, or theft.   I wonder if the items ever showed up online?  Plaintiff had no insurance either.

I am dumbfounded that the defendant pictured above is caring for two young children.  There is something wrong with her-most likely she is using again.  However, there is something wrong with everyone involved in this case-the plaintiff who not only let her live in his house but is now providing housing for the mom of the defendant's grandchild (who is living with the defendant).  I had never before seen this case so was glued to it.  I do not ever recall seeing such an out of control defendant before (while in court-we all know that there have been an infinite [or so it seems] number of outrageous participants on this show but usually they are able to kind of control themselves while in front of Judy).  One can always tell when Judy knows that something is seriously wrong with someone as she handles them quite carefully and doesn't lay into them.  The defendant's mom acknowledges that there are numerous issues with her daughter but just looks worn out from dealing with her.  My heart breaks for the two young children in the care of the drug addled defendant.

4 p.m. episodes-

Breathalyzer Scam? -Plaintiff /car seller Lisa Pishney suing defendant/ car buyer Brian Meier for money owed on a car she sold him.   Defendant says car was a gift,  car wasn't running, and couldn't be registered because  plaintiff is a breathalyzer interlock mandated user    Defendant says plaintiff bought the second car she sold or gave car to defendant, and couldn't register the 1996 VW, because she didn't want to put the breathalyzer interlock device on it to prevent her from driving drunk, again.  Plaintiff claims she had her first car repaired, and drove that. 

She claims she sold car to defendant for two payments of $750 each, but she claims defendant never paid her the $1500 total.  Defendant picked up car with keys and title in the car.   

Defendant says car was not running well, a piece of ca-ca, and was a gift that he junked.   Defendant says plaintiff called him twice, and wanted him to pick up the car, a 1996 Volkswagen Passat (the same car as in the sale case).   The reason car wasn't transferred to plaintiff, because she was caught drinking by her breathalyzer interface in her other car.  So, plaintiff can only register the car if she gets interlock installed before she drives it. 

 VW was owned by plaintiff for two months, but no interlock device was ever installed in VW.  Plaintiff claims she could buy the car, but couldn't drive it until the device was installed.   Defendant claims he didn't know title and registration wasn't in plaintiff's name until he picked the car up, and took it back to a garage near his home.    Defendant took the title in previous owner's name to the DMV, and transferred the title to his name. 

Defendant has title in court, signs it over to plaintiff, and she gets the car back, but needs to have breathalyzer put in the car.    My guess is the car will never have the device installed. 

Car signed back to plaintiff, nothing to defendant.  

Car Keying Caught on Tape! -Plaintiff Lesley Martens suing defendant/former friend Tawnya Roozeboom for keying her car.  Defendant denies keying a car in retaliation for an unpaid loan.  Defendant says she loaned plaintiff $600, and was never repaid.   Plaintiff claims she took small amounts of money from defendant, but defendant says the loans added up to $600, with evidence on her phone.  As usual, something tragic happened to defendant's phone.  Defendant claims plaintiff was getting a lawsuit settlement, and would pay defendant.  However, plaintiff lost her lawsuit, and since she would only repay the money if she won.  Defendant's claim dismissed. 

 

The two fell out because defendant thought plaintiff was gossiping about her.  The next month plaintiff's car was keyed (on Halloween), and defendant denies it was her.  However, the bar the car was parked near has video of the parking lot.  Video shows someone's legs walking over to the car, but it doesn't show the person's top half.   Plaintiff witness claims she saw the defendant walking by the car with her arm stretched out, JJ dismisses that witness testimony. 

After plaintiff made a police report about the defendant keying her car, the police officer wrote in the report that defendant admitted keying plaintiff's vehicle.  Police officer said he talked to defendant, and wrote that defendant admitted she didn't like plaintiff, and keyed the car. 

Plaintiff receives $718   . Defendant loans dismissed. 

 

Give Me Back My Daughter – Plaintiff Ashley Hutchins  is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Barry Compoe  for money he borrowed for legal fees to fight for custody of his daughter, $2500.  When the litigants lived together, plaintiff's child lived with them, and defendant wanted custody back of his daughter.    Defendant says child was taken away when he broke his leg, and child was staying with her maternal grandmother until age 5.  Child's mother didn't have custody until child was 5.  Defendant sued for custody when child's mother left again with some boyfriend, and defendant sued for custody.   

Defendant says after he broke his toe, it was amputated, he hasn't been able to find work, and has difficulty walking, so no source of income, in 2013.  Defendant has nerve damage, and is now on disability.  

However, defendant can't work, or move easily, so how can he take care of the child full time.     Plaintiff was on disability, and had a settlement from an auto accident when they moved to Florida, and that's what the couple lived off of.  Daughter gets disability and child support from defendant from when mother had child.    Defendant is constantly getting injured at work, and now at home.  

Plaintiff shows the fee agreement from the attorney.  Plaintiff says it was visitation, not full custody.   Plaintiff says defendant promised to pay her back when he received his settlement from back disability.   I agree with JJ, I bet any settlement either litigant received was quickly

$2500 to plaintiff. 

  

$100,000 Settlement Woes! -Plaintiff/father Enrico Scalercio Sr suing defendant/son Enrico Scalercio Jr for repayment of personal loans to pay traffic tickets and fines.  Plaintiff had to pay $30k out of a settlement check for $100k to pay back child support for the son. 

Plaintiff gave each child money when he received the settlement, and gave $2,000 cash to defendant deadbeat son.   Father also paid other son, and daughter the same amount also.    When son found out father gave more money to sister, he wanted more money, $500 more.   

Father gave son a total of $2650.  Fines were for driving with a supended license, and driving without insurance.   Son had other tickets for the same offenses.  $2000 was the first payment to son, $500 for fines, and another $150 to son. 

It would cost $500 to get the license back, and that was the $500 father gave son, or loaned.  Son received multiple tickets in two months, then son took money father gave him to Atlantic City, because son was positive he would double his money.   Big surprise, son lost.   

Plaintiff receives $650 for the loans to son for his tickets and fines.

Cyclist Slam Whodunit! -Plaintiff  Mary Reed (bike owner) suing Voker Fleck (driver) for hitting her nephew, James Lullo , who was riding her bicycle.      Lullo was biking from his cousin’s to his aunt’s house, about 3 miles.   Lullo was in the bicycle lane, then there was a dumpster blocking the bike lane so Lullo was riding on the sidewalk, and blocked Lullo’s view of Fleck driving out of a car dealership driveway.   Fleck says Lullo ran into his car, and neither person could see around the dumpster.  

Lullo claims drive Fleck hit him, but Lullo ran into Fleck’s car on the front passenger fender, while the driver was going into the dealership driveway.

Lullo claims Fleck t-boned the bike, and that’s a bunch of Who Shot John by Lullo.    After the collision, Fleck says he started to get out of the car, and Lullo was screaming and cursing at him, so he stayed in the car until Lullo calmed down.

Plaintiff told to pay for the bike, and aunt’s case dismissed. . 

Deactivated Tundra Tirade -Plaintiff Sylvia Edge-Soto defendants (cousin) Shawante Edge and boyfriend Tory Pettway for $1146 for a truck loan for truck payments.    Defendant Shawante’s truck was disabled by the loan company for nonpayment of the loan.    So, plaintiff loaned $1146 to defendants to make up the payments he owed, and get truck back.  

Tory put down $2,000, and was supposed to put down another down payment, instead of monthly payments.    Contract showed Tory owed $300 more on the down payments.   I’m so confused.

Shawante claimed she was getting a check from her employer, and would repay the plaintiff when her check came in.  Defendants claim that repayment was never discussed by plaintiff.    So, a woman's who is unemployed would give $646 to defendants as a gift?    Plaintiff claims cousin/defendant told her she had to pay because truck broke down, and Shawante needed money.   Shawante says she thought truck broke down, and didn't know about the issue with the finance company until later. 

JJ says defendant cousin assumed the boyfriend's finance contract, and she borrowed the money from plaintiff.  Deadbeat Tory gave truck back to the dealer.     Next time after the unpaid loan, plaintiff ran into defendants on a cruise to the Bahamas, and they were living the high life. 

$646 to plaintiff. 

Stalking and Destruction? -Plaintiff  /girlfriend Areana Zachery suing defendant /ex/boyfriend   Maurice Davis for the return of her property and the return of her laptop.  Plaintiff says the laptop was smashed by defendant when she was trying to leave him.   Defendant claims plaintiff owed him money for a car she wrecked.    Defendant keeps smiling like a fool, and ignoring JJ's questions. 

Defendant was arrested for stalking too.  He claims she was making payments for the wrecked car, and still owed him $600 when she was leaving him.  

Plaintiff says she gave him $250 for his car, from an accident she had a week before she left.   

Ex-lovers are feuding over accusations of stalking, abandonment and destruction of property after, he says, she left him in his underwear at a casino in New Jersey, 1,000 miles away from home. (Please let there be a video of defendant standing in his underwear at the casino). 

(This relationship violates my number one rule, "Never sleep with anyone crazier than you are").   

Plaintiff says defendant smashed her laptop as she was leaving him, and laptop was worth $500.    

Defendant says he didn't break anything, and repeats that she still owes him $600 more on the car.   He also refuses to say what happened when she left. 

Plaintiff left the laptop, clothing, kitchen goods, and wants money for that.

Defendant was arrested for stalking, and reckless operation of a vehicle, and pled guilty to disorderly conduct.    Apparently, defendant tried to run over plaintiff. After court case, she didn't go to court to get her stuff back.   There's a five year protective order against defendant.  

Defendant says agreement with plaintiff was oral, not written. 

Plaintiff receives $300 for computer.  (No video, I would have enjoyed that.)

Baltimore Brother Drug Bust -Plaintiff/brother Chad Taylor suing defendant/brother Robert Taylor, his repeat-offender brother, for bail money and attorney fees.  Claim is for $5,000, which is the court maximum, and only for the attorney fees.  

After the initial arrest, defendant was arrested a few more times.  

Defendant claims he was arrested for possession (not intent to sell) of 'a little bit of weed', and judge set bail very high, because judge knew defendant would be a repeat offender.   I guess judge was psychic.  

First arrest was January of 2014, and he had three prior arrests.  The other three cases were community service, probation, and third case was six months in the slammer.    Then, arrest in January 2014 was with a substantial bail, and brother paid $5k for attorney, but brother didn't have enough to pay the total bail, but defendant fool was bailed out, with brother kicking in more money. 

JJ is dismissing plaintiff's case without prejudice, so he can get proof of what he paid the attorney.   He paid the attorney with cash.    (Hampstead, MA is where this happened)

Fender Bender Con Artist? -Plaintiff/car owner Helan Khalil suing defendant/bad driver April Stevens for repair costs after defendant ran into her parked car. Defendant was driving her brother's car, and was driving it for a long time, without insurance.  Defendant says she tapped plaintiff's car 'a little bit', looked at the other car, went into the office building and asked random people if they knew who owned the car she bashed.    Defendant says the woman whose car she hit is running a scam. 

Defendant claims she found a person, who came out of the building, looked at the car defendant smashed into, and told her it was OK, and not to worry about it or pay any money.

Kristina Butcher is plaintiff's witness, and saw defendant hit plaintiff's car.  After hitting the car, witness says defendant ran in the building hysterically looking for someone who owned the car. 

The minor damages defendant claims, are not minor.   Defendant claims the car plaintiff owns isn't the same car she hit. 

Plaintiff says when she asked for registration, driver's license, and insurance, that defendant only had an I.D., no insurance, or registration.   Plaintiff didn't call police, big mistake.  Plaintiff says she thought $2500 was fair, and defendant was supposed to pay her for the damages. 

Plaintiff claims she calculated the damages in her head.   Plaintiff has a signed $2500 check from defendant.  Defendant says she gave a blank check to plaintiff.   When plaintiff tried to cash the check, the defendant didn't have an account at that bank. 

$1200 to plaintiff for the car repairs. 

Dueling Divocee Hard Drives -Plaintiff/ex-wife and motherShannon Burke suing defendant/ex-husband Anthony Burke for the value of a laptop she says he took from their son and gave to his stepdaughter.   Plaintiff bought a laptop for 17-year-old son, and then defendant wanted the computer for his stepdaughter, for some debt defendant claims son owed him. 

When plaintiff found out defendant took the laptop and gave it to his stepdaughter, she demanded defendant pay her for the laptop. Defendant claims the son gave him the computer in return for an insurance payment. 

Plaintiff made a gift to the son, and son claims via text he didn't trade, give or loan the laptop to anyone.  A.J. Burke is the son, and he's defendant's witness. JJ says when you make a gift to someone, what they do with the gift is up to them. 

Son gave the father the laptop, for the $700 every six month car insurance bill. 

Father of the Year offered the laptop back to plaintiff, for $150. 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Arrested for Stealing Your Own Van?! -Plaintiff Latonya McKoy and (Brother) Donte Sheppard suing defendant/deadbeat van buyer Tinisha Trower being sued for damages to the van, lost wages, and making a false police report. 

 Van was sold for $2,000.  Agreement was for $1500 down, and $500 payment on the next payday.  Defendant gave plaintiff a roll of money, it turned out to be $900, not $1500.   The remaining payment was $1100, and was never paid by defendant. (This was in Philadelphia, PA for plaintiff, but defendant lived in New Jersey.)

When defendant was supposed to pay the $1100, she delayed by claiming she was waiting for her tax refund.  Van was never registered to defendant, so how did she report it stolen? 

Plaintiff and her brother went to repo the van, and when defendant saw the van was missing, and called police about her van being stolen. 

After defendant called plaintiff and when plaintiff didn't tell her she repo'd the van, van was reported stolen.   Plaintiff also decided to repo the van, after seeing a police report about the van being damaged. 

If plaintiff told defendant she took the van, then it changed.   Plaintiff says she told defendant van was taken back, and plaintiff claims defendant still reported it stolen.   Brother was driving the van and was arrested.   

Plaintiff has the van, and claims she can't sell it because it's damaged.   Defendant claims she has a text showing she didn't know who took the van.  

Plaintiff case dismissed, $900 to defendant.   

Assault Joke? -Plaintiff/former roommate Amy Cahell suing defendants / former roommates  Raymond Gwynn and Emily Clatterbuck for assault.  Defendants were renting a room from plaintiff, got $1200 (two month's rent) behind on rent.   Plaintiff only received $200 for rent, not the other $1,000.   Defendant Gwynn says he owes nothing to plaintiff, because her parents were paying the rent. 

Plaintiff moved to her own apartment, leaving a rent stabilized apartment to the defendants.  

Story of defendants in court differs dramatically from their sworn statement. 

Plaintiff claims Clatterbuck ripped her shirt off.   They all say the police laughed at the assault charges made against them. (This happened in the Baltimore area). 

$1,000 to plaintiff for the rent.

Neither did I. I think Mr. Freakizoid is one of the classics. Throughout he was twitching but much to my surprise not sweating gallons. He obviously has serious problems that may be medical/psychological but my bet is on hard core drug abuse. Naturally Big Mamma has excuses for her screwed up son. The defense from tweaking son that the plaintiff went out and found a filthy mattress, used syringes and needles and even needle caps just to make him look bad is, shall we say, a bit hard to swallow. The son is a lost cause piece of garbage and Mamma the enabler isn't much better. I wonder if Mamma keeps Narcan within reach. I despised both of them. One is garbage, the other an enabler.

10,000 Reasons Not to Open a Restaurant -Plaintiff Brenda McNair is suing defendant Amir Zakirali when plaintiff was investing in the restaurant, but plaintiff found out  the kitchen has been shut down.   Defendant lost his operating license after it was closed down for unsanitary conditions. Plaintiff witness Marcia Neal also invested.    Plaintiff is suing for $5,000, but invested $10,000.  

Marcia and Brenda had a side job of catering, and would use the kitchen for catering, while defendant operated the restaurant.   The plaintiffs thought it was a great deal to invest in the restaurant.  Proposed agreement was signed by all three litigants, and not dated.  Actual contract is undated, and not signed.

$1500 was first payment by Brenda, and $8500 was paid in the second payment.   Then, the plaintiff found a shut down notice from the health inspector, before the dates of the agreements, and before the payment.   The health inspector notice says no license will be allowed for defendant to operate for a minimum of a year.  

Defendant did operate a hookah lounge and other businesses that didn’t need a kitchen. 

This was in Waco County, Texas.   

Defendant claims he told both women about the shut down, before they gave him the payments.  He claims he told the two women that they had to apply for their own kitchen license.   I agree with JJ, defendant is a hustler.

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Rafting Trip Turned Drug Bust -Plaintiff Danny Ruhmann is suing defendant  Jessica Wiskamp for a loan to pay attorney fees, and lock changing fees. 

They were on a rafting trip, left early, plaintiff was very tired, and had an accident.   When police responded to the accident, they found drugs on defendant.   This was in Illinois.   Defendant claims she didn’t know about the warrant after the arrest, until she received a letter in the mail, and she wanted $3,000 for attorney fees.  Plaintiff claims he gave defendant cash for the attorney, and has no proof of payment.

Defendant’s claim is that if plaintiff wouldn’t have had a car accident, that the police wouldn’t have been called, and wouldn’t have discovered her drug stockpile. 

Defendant wants unpaid wages, and the value of personal belongings.

JJ and Officer Byrd do enjoy the stupid defense by defendant.

Plaintiff receives $0, no proof he paid the attorney, or lock changing fees receipt either.

 

Extortion, Theft and Threats? -Plaintiff Caitlyn Collins suing defendant Gabriel Womack for unpaid loans, harassment and a false police report.   Counter claim by defendant is for extortion, theft, and threats by plaintiff.   Plaintiff wants $4625 for the loan, and police report incident.   She has no proof of payment for the loans.  She claims to have a text message from defendant saying the $3500 was a loan, and he would repay her.

Defendant claims he never accepted a loan from plaintiff, and when they split up, she kept his belongings.   Plaintiff claims defendant filed a false police report against plaintiff for harassment.

JJ doesn’t believe the evidence by plaintiff, and sends both litigants back to their local jurisdiction to try to convince another judge of the merits of their case.

Scary Bolt-Cutter Harassment?!  -Plaintiff/ex Jeremiah Turrentine  is suing defendant/her ex Jennifer McCray for trying to break into her home.   He’s suing for filing a false restraining order, truck payment,  and return of stolen and damaged property.   He moved out in October, she was supposed to move out by 15 December, but stayed in the house over a month after she was supposed to leave.  

Defendant moved her two kids out before this happened, and only defendant was living in the house.   She was served with an eviction notice, but didn’t leave the home.    Defendant says it’s his home, and he was evicting her.  However, plaintiff came after defendant claimed she would move out by, and he came to get back into his house.  That’s when he brought the bolt cutters.  

 Defendant filed for a restraining order, because plaintiff tried to move back into his house, almost a month after defendant was supposed to be out. Defendant claims she was getting her belongings together to move out, and plaintiff’s stuff.  Defendant claims the first day plaintiff came back with the bolt cutters, she claims she gave him all of his stuff back.   Then the truck broke down, and defendant claims it was sabotage by plaintiff.

Plaintiff receives $3500 for attorney.

$379 to defendant on the counter claim, but not the $3000 she wanted.

Plaintiff receives $0, but since he has no proof of the failed restraining order attorney fees, he loses out on $3500.

Lying to Police? -Plaintiff /former tenant Melissa Perez suing defendant/former landlord  Oscar Martinez for rent, lost wages and stolen property.   Plaintiff was babysitting for Ginelle, her witness and working at Mickey D’s part time for a while.   Plaintiff was living with her grandmother, argued with her, moved into a bedroom at defendant’s house, and is now back with her grandmother.   Plaintiff lived in the house for about 6 weeks, at $125 per week, so a total of $750.    Ginelle Jenkins is plaintiff’s witness, for the babysitting.   Defendant says plaintiff never paid him any rent, and stayed at his place for about 10 days total over the six weeks.

Plaintiff was arrested at defendant’s home, when she got in a fight with defendant’s witness. Police held plaintiff for 3 days, and he packed up her stuff, except the iPhone, TV, and laptop that she claims Oscar kept.   

Defendant let police in when plaintiff in the slammer.   Defendant says cops told him to get police supervision to pack up plaintiff’s stuff, and he says she picked it up.   Two weeks later defendant says plaintiff came back with the police, claiming defendant kept her property, and with his consent, police searched and found nothing belonging to plaintiff.   Plaintiff was sometimes dating defendant’s grown son.

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it’s full of ca-ca.

 

The Silent Killer! -Plaintiff/former tenant Luwana Jackson suing defendants/former landlords Nicolas and Denise Mercado for return of rent, medical bills for carbon monoxide exposure, and sexual harassment. 

Plaintiff was renting a studio apartment from defendants.   Plaintiff’s previous apartment complex had ‘issues’.  Plaintiff supports herself with annuities from a former job.   Plaintiff wants the last month’s rent back, $550.  Defendant Nicolas says plaintiff didn’t move out until December, but paid November, and her belongings were in the studio until the end of December. 

Plaintiff says she was given a three-day notice to quit in November, but stayed until the end of December, and didn’t pay that rent.  Plaintiff submits medical records to prove her treatment for carbon monoxide exposure.

Sexual harassment by Nicolas is supposed to be staring in plaintiff’s window, making sexual sounds, and plaintiff claims she moved out the next day. Defendant wife says plaintiff’s movers came on December 30th, but plaintiff claims the movers came on 29 November.   Plaintiff is lying about move out date, so gets nothing for last month’s rent.

Plaintiff wants sexual harassment payments for Nicolas harassing her.   So, she was so sick she was in the hospital, but yet moved the day after Nicolas harassed her? Plaintiff submits the hospital records, saying what was wrong with plaintiff.    Hospital records say plaintiff claimed to be attacked by a dog, doctor saw no proof of dog bite.   Later, patient claimed of carbon monoxide exposure, blood tests showed no evidence of carbon monoxide exposure. Fire department went to the apartment, and found no evidence of carbon monoxide exposure.  Doctor's notes say plaintiff shows evidence of mental issues, but not rising to the level of a 5150 hold.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Fight After Father’s Death -Plaintiff Nathaniel Quinn suing defendant/stepbrother Patrick McDonnell fo rlost wages and return of property after defendant evicted him.  Stepbrother didn't see the late father for over 2 years, and only talked over the phone.

Plaintiff wants belongings from late father's house, and defendant/step brother won't give him items that plaintiff can't prove individual ownership of the pinball machine (purchased with house), laptop (no proof of ownership), diamond earrings (back to plaintiff), toys (no idea which toys), and laptop goes to plaintiff.     Plaintiff will get laptop, earrings, pinball machine, clothes for plaintiff's daughter, and her quinceanera book.

Ex-Lover Road Rage -Plaintiff Megan LLoyd Jason Rauch for purposely rear-ending her vehicle when she dumped him.  They are former co-workers, and romantic partners.   Defendant says plaintiff cut him off, and slammed on her brakes, to make him run into her.   Plaintiff claims she was in a right turn, yielding and fully stopped waiting for traffic to clear, and she says defendant ran into her vehicle.   Plaintiff says ex had followed her for at least five minutes before he deliberately hit her.  

Defendant tells some bizarre story about he's not cheating, but she thought he was.   He also says plaintiff started and stopped several times forcing him to hit her the last time.    What a ridiculous story.  He drives a full-sized pickup, and she drives a small Pontiac, so his claim plaintiff delibrarately cut him off so he would hit her is garbage. 

Plaintiff receives $1356 for car damages.   Plaintiff replaced the taillights (paid for by defendant), but not the other damages.

(This was in Aurora, CO).   She claims she was afraid of defendant, was slapped, and moved with an overnight bag, on 22 December, and came back for her things on 2 January.  She also left some of her stuff at defendant's home through January and February.      Defendant's ex-wife is his witness in court,    .   Plaintiff claims defendant slapped her so hard that he hurt his hand.  No medical records or police report are produced.   Plaintiff took almost two months to accumulate enough to rent a U-Haul truck and get moving assistance.    Plaintiff claims she paid December's rent, but didn't, and didn't pay for January and February either, even though her stuff was at the house. 

Defendant is suing for unpaid rent, storage fees, and a false police report. 

JJ doesn't believe anything plaintiff says, and I don't either.   PLaintiff claims defendant has her designer bags, camping equipment, a hard drive, and other items.  Defendant denies having anything belonging to plaintiff.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant receives $1200 for rent while plaintiff's junk was stored at his home.    

Hysterical Storage Mess! -Plaintiff Rita Sideris suing defendant/former friend Holly Ahrenstein for an unpaid loans to pay for storage fees.  Plaintiff's husband is retired NYPD.   Defendant was a neighbor of plaintiff for a year.  Defendant and her mother's storage fees were unpaid, and storage units were going to be auctioned off for non-payment (where I live, that's easily six months after you stop paying, after multiple notices to pay up or items will be sold at auction).  

Defendant claims while plaintiff was on vacation, that plaintiff called defendant, and when she heard about the storage fees, defendant claims plaintiff gifted her with the money.   Plaintiff says what really happened, and says defendant called her on vacation in California, and wanted the fees, and it was a loan.  

Defendant lies to JJ, given away by her throat and chest turning red.   Defendant claims when plaintiff paid her storage bill, that it was a gift.   Defendant claims she would give money back to plaintiff.

$3237 to plaintiff.   How big were the storage units, and how many were there?  That's a hefty storage bill. 

 

Friendship in Flames! -Plaintiff /car owner Michael Andrews  suing defendant/ body shop owner Javier Lerma when plaintiff’s car is at the shop during a fire.  Defendant says after a first small fire he told plaintiff to move his car, but plaintiff didn't do that.  Plaintiff's car was not running.  The second fire on the second night is what burned the plaintiff's car. 

Litigants have been friends for 20 years, and still have the friendship after the car fire.  

Plaintiff claims defendant didn't tell him about the first fire, for a month.   Plaintiff's car wasn't damaged in the first fire, which was arson.   First fire was in the tint & alarm shop, attached to defendant's garage.   Plaintiff was there for 2 1/2 months, while having mechanic work done.  (this happened in San Antonio, TX). 

Defendant is still working on the Mustang, and it's not totaled.  Plaintiff took the car to another shop after the fire.  

PLaintiff wants to be paid for items stolen from the car, and the paint job that was damaged in the fire.   Stolen items are dismissed. 

Bill to paint car is submitted, $3500, including some parts.  This is a race car, and was not insured.    Defendant has insurance on the building, but not on the contents.   There is a notice at the mechanic's shop stating that they are not responsible for damages to vehicles.   State of Texas doesn't allow insurance for a salvage title vehicle and that's what the plaintiff's car is.   Plaintiff claims the defendant never told him to pick up the car. 

I wouldn't give plaintiff a penny.  Plaintiff didn't insure the car, and claims it could have been. 

$3600 to plaintiff. 

Relationship Money Drain -Plaintiff Tinamarie Mizzero suing defendant/ ex Joseph Pace for rent, stolen money, and pain and suffering. She's claiming he drained her bank account when she was hospitalized.  However, after plaintiff discovered the money missing, she was still living with defendant.   Except for one month, plaintiff never paid rent either, but they were living together. 

Since defendant worked at the apartment complex, their rent was substantially reduced, it was only $300 a month.   Plaintiff says she paid the rent for three months, but then says since defendant was the 24/7 maintenance person for the complex, that they didn't pay rent.    

Normal rent is $575, raised to $600.  The defendant's work paid the rent.  Plaintiff paid the cable, and food.  

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it's total garbage.

Abandoned or Beloved Property? -Plaintiff/former tenant Lucinda Sims suing defendant/former landlord  Kakie Shea for return of security deposit and belongings.

   Landlord says tenants left property behind, a bullet-riddled TV, and a big mess when they moved out.  Landlord says tenants moved out without notice, and abandoned a dog inside the home.   Plaintiff, boyfriend, an adult friend, 3 children, and grandson, and grandson's father.  Rent was $950, each of the two roommates paid $400 each.   Lease is given to JJ by plaintiff, but landlord says she never signed this.   

Renters were three children, one daughter is an adult, plus the grandson's father, and another adult, plus adult nephew.   Defendant says  lease is a forgery, but she doesn't have the original lease.   Lease says 3 adults and 3 children, but there were more adults living there.  

Security was $300, screens had to be replaced, pet damage to carpets cleaned, and a huge amount of cleanup.  (This was in Kileen, TX).   Defendant went in Nov. 20th, but house was paid up to Nov. 30th, but landlord had to crawl through the window to get in, to get a dog out of the house, because plaintiff changed the locks illegally.    

Plaintiff will get $300 minus cleaning fees, and get her property back.   After unknown man ran over her phone, landlord called police.   Utilities were all turned off too. So, at least four or five adults, and multiple children in the house.  Nephew told police that plaintiff moved out on the 20th.  

TV was bullet ridden, and put out by the curb for trash pickup.  

I'm sure landlords only came on here because the show paid the awards.  JJ really thinks landlords shouldn't make a profit, or have any damages. 

Plaintiff gets the basketball and weights back. so $900 to plaintiff. JJ doesn't care about the trash, damages, or anything else. 

 

Title Thief? -Plaintiff/stepbrother Scott Szaban defendant/former stepbrother Michael Curtis for the unpaid balance of a truck plaintiff sold defendant.  Plaintiff was selling car to defendant for a down payment, but the other payments were never made.   Plaintiff sold truck for $1426, defendant claims he paid $600 down,  $300 the next week, and $100 more, and after defendant registered and insured the truck, he paid $400 to plaintiff.   Defendant claims he paid in full, and owes nothing.    Big mistake was plaintiff giving title to defendant. 

$1060 is what plaintiff wants.  (This happened in Springfield, MA)   Defendant complained about the work needed, and plaintiff actually agree to give a refund.  Defendant says the truck was only $800.   If truck was $800, why did defendant pay $1,000.   Defendant claims plaintiff kept car registered and insured, until he could get registration for the truck. 

Defendant's witness girlfriend is sitting there with her mouth hanging open, and JJ tells her to shut it.   Truck Blue Book was $2175, 

$1060 to plaintiff. 

 

Beaten With a Child’s Toy – Plaintiff Audrey Bland suing defendant / neighbor Tom Freeman for an assault during an argument over a water hose.   Plaintiff claims defendant beat her  with a child’s toy.   Defendant says plaintiff beat him with a child's toy.    Plaintiff's 3-year-old was outside along, came inside and told mother that defendant was being mean to him.   Plaintiff says she saw Tom Freeman approach her child, stared in her front door, and son ran inside.  JJ doesn't believe anything plaintiff said. 

Plaintiff claims defendant grabbed her water hose, and used it on his house for over 25 minutes. Then, she lies and says defendant cussed her out.   Plaintiff's court testimony is very different from the sworn statement.   Plaintiff says defendant followed her into her house, with the hose still running, and soaked everything.   Water is free with rent. 

Defendant's story is he went to borrow the hose, abandoned by a previous tenant.   Water was shut off, by plaintiff, and she claimed to own the hose.  Defendant turned on the water, and turned off the water again.   Defendant says plaintiff went in her house, and came outside with a 20 to 25 lb toy, hit him with it, and defendant was bleeding from the assault.   Police report is not available for the attack.   So, plaintiff didn't say anything about the intimidating the toddler, but just turned the water off, and then attacked the defendant.   No police report was brought to court about plaintiff's brutal beating, so it doesn't exist. 

This was in Altadena, CA.  

Defendant doesn't have a counter claim. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it's ca-ca. 

It’s Raining Cockroaches! -Plaintiff Katie Johnson and girlfriend Johnna-Lisa Ferguson suing defendant Corina Flores  for return of their security deposit.   Defendant leases the house, four-bedrooms, and house rent is $1470. Plaintiffs answered ad for room rental, $600 a month, and $400 security deposit.   Plaintiffs were supposed to pay the other $200 on move-in for security.   

Defendant works part time, has no full-time employment. 

Plaintiffs packed up, and were moving in with both women, and plaintiff's 4-year-old (child wasn't there yet).    Plaintiffs say the day they were moving in, that there were cockroaches everywhere from the front door, to the rented bedroom.    Plaintiff claims bunch of furniture and other large garbage dumped in the backyard, and dirty dishes in the corner of the living room. 

Plaintiffs show a video of cockroaches. The bedroom is where the video is filmed, and the roaches are running all over.   Plaintiffs decided not to move in after seeing the hordes of roaches, piled up dirty dishes, and the backyard trash. 

Plaintiffs receive their $400.

Stalking Ex-Lover? -Plaintiff/ex David Fish suing defendant/ex Eileen Hathaway for the return of a down payment on a trailer, and home improvement costs.   Plaintiff says they lived together for a year, then bought the trailer, and each put down $1,000.   Plaintiff wants his $1,000 back, costs for improving the trailer.   There were also a couple of paying tenants too.   Plaintiff worked at the mobile home park, and received free lot rent ($400 a month).   

Plaintiff was thrown out by defendant.   Defendant claims she should be paid for damages when he tore down her fence.   Defendant claims plaintiff ripped the fence down in retaliation for kicking him out.  

Plaintiff paid the $1,000 for the down payment, and an air conditioning unit too.   Defendant still lives in the trailer, and has the air conditioner. 

Defendant was granted a restraining order.  That is because he ripped down her fence when she threw him out, and claims plaintiff smashed the back door when he was leaving.   Defendant says the fence incident was after the restraining order was granted.  

Plaintiff says he only broke the glass accidentally, and he paid defendant $40 for the glass.  Police never talked to plaintiff about the fence, and he says he didn't do it.   Defendant submits an estimate for the fence.   Fence photo shows no damages. 

$2181 to plaintiff.  (In the hall-terview plaintiff claims defendant is a drinker, and he's not stalking her.  Defendant claims plaintiff is still stalking her).  

Car Meets Brick Wall! -Plaintiff/car owner Keionne Pridgen suing defendant/really bad driver Tashma Body (No, I'm not drunk, that's the name) for car damages, and stealing her belongings.  Plaintiff says she never gave permission for defendant to drive her car, but left the car while she went to Las Vegas (litigants were living in Maryland).  Car has plaintiff and mother's name on the title.   

Defendant was driving the car, and hit a brick wall.  Defendant claims hitting a brick wall wasn’t bad driving, but the car malfunctioned.  Accident was on 295, in Maryland.    Defendant was supposed to be storing the car, not driving it.  Defendant claims she heard a pop, and the accident happened.  Police report is submitted by plaintiff.  

Defendant only has liability, and her insurance wouldn't have covered the car.According to plaintiff her insurance only covered car if plaintiff or mother drove it.     Plaintiff told to get the policy that shows it excludes anyone driving the car except plaintiff and her mother.    I agree with JJ, we're getting scammed.  Title is supposedly paid off for years (car is a 2006), but still has Wells Fargo as holding the title. 

Defendant was covered for the accident, so plaintiff needs to claim the damages on her insurance policy.    Plaintiff misinterpreted the policy rules.  All defendant owes plaintiff is $1,000 deductible.  Defendant paid $200 to plaintiff already, so $800 to plaintiff.   Nothing for the huge amount of property that was claimed by plaintiff to be in the car. 

Car was towed and impounded, and plaintiff never picked her stuff up.  Property case dismissed.  Plaintiff claims she never gave defendant permission to drive the car, and didn't know it was wrecked for a month.  

JJ dismisses the case to refile where they came from.

Lightning Strike Lawsuit!

This one I didn't get. Insurance received an estimate of $7K.  The contractor, Chris received $3K to fix the AC.  A) Who provided the estimate? Was it Chris or was it the adjusters from the insurance company?  B) If the woman took a cash settlement instead of the insurance company providing the funds directly to the contractor, and Chris the contractor only charged her $3K instead of $7K that's on the adjuster and not on the lady.  An AC isn't like a roof.  It doesnt have to be replaced and if she wanted to pocket the money, that isn't fraud.  Fraud would have been if the lady decided to intentionally break her AC to pocket the money or the lady provided a bogus estimate.  Then that's on the insurance company for not doing their due diligence.

Children Witness Parents’ Bloody Brawl! ; Three’s a Spring Break Crowd!

 

Don’t Play with Fire! -Plaintiffs/former tenant Felix Loya (he has a Spanish language interpreter) suing his former landlord /defendantMargarita Hernandez for a false restraining order, lost wages, and emotional distress.  Defendant landlord says plaintiff man refused to pay rent, and threatended her.   Rent went up to $1350, because utilities went up, beginning rent was $1250.   A few months later, plaintiff refused to pay rent. 

Loya lived in the basement apartment, I guess defendant lives in the main house.     Defendant says plaintiff refused to pay rent, because his wife couldn't work, so he wasn't going to pay rent.     A few days later, after the grace period on the rent was over, plaintiff again refused to pay rent.   Defendant's sister (another tenant is defendant's house), served defendant with a notice to pay or quit.   Sister gave Loya the notice, and plaintiff came upstairs and started screaming at defendant about the 3-day notice, and still refused to pay rent.   

Then, defendant submits the text message that plaintiff sent her.   Interpreter translates the plaintiff's text, warning defendant about listening to the sister, or anyone else, and still refuses to pay rent.  I find a text saying that defendant is playing with fire threatening.  

Part of the text talked about fire, and so defendant went to the sheriff's office, and filed for a TRO.   Defendant says after the TRO was granted, that plaintiff moved out.  TRO notice was served on plaintiff by the Sheriff's officer. 

Then, plaintiff claims his son called, and said defendant was changing the locks on the doors, with his property still inside.   Plaintiff claims right after the grace period on rent ended, that defendant threatened to change the locks on him.    However, defendant went for the restraining order a week later.     JJ calls the defendant a liar, and says she used the TRO to get rid of plaintiff and his family.    I'm sick of deadbeat tenants, and don't care if JJ thinks the TRO was to get rid of plaintiff and family.   

Plaintiff claims he thought defendant should negotiate the rent with him, I stongly disagree.    Landlords who rent property have the right to evict deadbeats like plaintiff. 

After the tenants abandoned the property, and left the apartment, defendant changed the locks.   

Now the reason

$5,000 to plaintiff, by landlord hating JJ. 

 

Gross Animal Abuse? -Plaintiff/pet owner Sabrina Witner suing defendants/pet owners Guy and Julie Rowan for not paying boarding bills.    Bill was over $4,000, plaintiff settled for $3500, $1000 cash and a check for $2500.  Plaintiff says defendants stopped payment on the check. 

  Defendants  dropped off six animals with plaintiff for boarding for 80 days.   Defendant Julie Rowan, and claims only five that were returned to her were actually her animals.   Defendant Julie Rowan says the ferret bit her, didn't act like her tame ferrett, and the ear tattoos on the ferret were changed.     There was a ferret boarded, that defendant claims was switched for another ferret.   Defendants also claim animals were all in bad condition.    Defendants have used the boarding services by plaintiffs several times over the years.    (This was in Salem OR).

After plaintiff went to cash the check, it had a stop payment on that.   Defendants never said why they stopped the payment on the check, not saying the bizarre claim about switched ferrets. 

Plaintiff says the defendant Julie claimed the animals had fleas, were emaciated, and then the bizarre claim about switched ferrets happened.  

Defendant claims when she looked at her animals after pick up, that the animals were in bad condition, and she wanted to renegotiate the payment. 

Plaintiff says the original boarding period was two weeks, extended to 80 days, and defendant says period could be up to 6 months. 

$2500 to plaintiff.   Defendant swoons in shock.

Thank you. I was just coming to say that. Are they doing it for their 15 mins of fame on tv or are they serious? JJ doesn't take any crap, doesn't like people suing for harassment or people talking over her.  Yet you get those yahoos who come on and do that and then they complain that JJ didn't listen to them and dismissed their case.

Assault Charge Bail Out! -Plaintiff Tonia Thomas suing defendant/ex Orin Thomas for an unpaid loan for bail, traffic ticket, and stolen property.   Plaintiff put her truck up for collateral for the bail.      They lived together for seven years, in an apartment in her name (she's lived there for 15 years).    

Plaintiff paid most of the bills, and defendant didn't even have a bank account.   Plaintiff wants JJ to split up the property.   Defendant took two TV sets (this was in Fort Worth, TX).     TV and property claim is dismissed, it was joint property. 

She wants $3,328 for everything. 

Defendant was arrested for assaulting plaintiff and daughter in 2011, and they lived together for four more years.   

Defendant paid for the bail, but plaintiff signed for it.   Plaintiff is suing because her truck is collateral for defendant, and she wants the truck title back.  Defendant stopped paying half way through, because they broke up. 

Defendant's assault case was pled out, no contest, so he pled guilty.  Plaintiff gets hysterical saying she's still paying for the $1500 TV that defendant claims he paid for, and he took it.   He says he paid $230 a month for 20 months for the TV, $4600 with finance charges. 

Plaintiff gets $725 to pay the bond off.     (Plaintiff says he'll go to Hell, and defendant says he'll see her there)

 

Take My Dog Off the Kill List! -Plaintiff Sheryl Nash suing defendant Stacie King for vet bills for a dog in a failed adoption  Plaintiff gave dog up for adoption by defendant, and saw dog on adoption site at a shelter.   Plaintiff says dog was in bad shape, and wants vet bills to get dog back to health. 

Plaintiff says she put the Dachshund up for adoption after a lot of years, because he scuffled with the new Pit Bull, and harassed the cats.   She put the Dachshund for adoptiong and defendant took the dog. 

Defendant was given the dog, claims the dachshund mix, claims defendant had a large yard, and wanted a companion dog for her daughter.   "No other pets" was a condition of adoption. 

Plaintiff claims defendant didn't surrender dog, but called animal control and said there was a sick stray dog, and that was the doxie.  Defendant says plaintiff gave her the dog in July, and by December dog was getting sick, and defendant couldn't afford vet bills.   

There is no contract between the two litigants, so JJ dismisses the vet bills for plaintiff.    Defendant is counter claiming for harassment by plaintiff.  Plaintiff got the doxie back, rehomed the Pit Bull, and cats are OK.  

The pitfalls of adopting an animal out.  

Everything dismissed. 

Traveling Basketball Team Blues -Plaintiff/travel agent Angela Ellis suing defendant/Youth-Foundation director Rudolph Johnson Jr for non-payment for airline tickets for a travel basketball team.  Defendant had bought tickets since 1998 from plaintiff, and always paid for them, but didn't pay this year.  Defendant has been organizing the travel basketball team since 1995. 

Last year, plaintiff supplied tickets to defendant for the airline tickets, but not this year.   Defendant says his sponsor payments failed to happen, but defendant claims the plaintiff was going to get paid by the sponsors, so it's not his debt. 

Defendant claims the agreement changed from other years.  Plaintiff says nothing changed in the agreement to pay for the tickets. 

$5,000 to plaintiff for the tickets.

Defendant Gary says the court set $50k bail for FTA for a driving without a license, (do I look stupid enough to believe that?), and bail payment was $3,000.   Holmes claims parents were given $200 by Tara.    The defendant has a kid with Hatchett (4 year-old), and she has an older kid, and the two defendants live together.   Hatchett says she gave her mother $400, but only actually gave her $200.     

PLaintiff Linda Donnie took other granddaughters to brunch (the 22 year-old and 16 yar-old), but not the 4 year-old to brunch and shopping.  Why would the grandmother take a 4 year-old to brunch and shopping, with the 21- and 16-year-old?     

You know what they call dragging the 4-year-old for brunch and shopping?   Babysitting.    So, after this Holmes stopped even attempting to repay anything.   

PLaintiffs receive $2350.

Teenager Crash! -Plaintiff / driver Tami Spaziano (car owner) and (son/driver) Jordan Lattin are  suing defendants /car owner and driver Jerry and Karen Cruz for their crash while her son, Jordan Lattin, was driving,  and wants car damages.  However, defendants didn’t have insurance.  Plaintiff's son was driving car owned by defendant Jerry Cruz.   Jerry Cruz was driving and owns the car, he brought wife to L.A. for the fun of it, all on Officer Byrd's dime. 

The big question is why plaintiff's son, the driver, is wearing a headband?

Defendant Jerry Cruz had lapsed insurance for over a month.   Cars collided, plaintiff son turned into a parking lot, followed by Jerry Cruz and wife Karen Cruz, she talked to plaintiff Jordan and gave the information, driver's license, license number, and no insurance information was given.    Karen Cruz is the only one who talked to Jordan Lattin.   When plaintiff mother says Ms. Cruz called her, and Karen Cruz claimed they gave Jordan the wrong number.   Mrs Spaziano says the next day Karen Cruz called her, said to give her a day to renew her insurance, and that the insurance would cover the damages.   So, Mrs. Spaziano went right to the police station and filed a report.   JJ is right, the plaintiffs would have to lie to the insurance company about the date of the accident to get the damages covered.   

Poor Jordan assumed that Jerry Cruz had insurance, and he did what mother told him to do, take down the information, and don't make a police report since no injuries, and cars were both driveable.    

Jordan says he was in the left lane waiting for a green arrow, when Mr. Cruz sideswiped the entire passenger side of Jordan's car. Cruz was in the far right lane, turned into the middle lane next to Jordan and sideswiped Jordan.   They both went into the church parking lot and the information exchange happened. 

Now, Jerry Cruz, who thinks he doesn't need insurance, lies to JJ, and 10 million viewers.  His lying story is that he was in the left lane, and Jordan swooped past him, and creaming the passenger side of Jordan's car, because he couldn't stop in time. 

Plaintiff receives $ 2,187.

 

Foster Parents’ Dreams Bashed?! -Plaintiffs/former tenants  Ronald and Sandra Lightholder  suing defendants / former landlords Sharleen and Kevin Ploudre for unpaid rent, missing property.   Defendants say they rented an entire house near San Diego for $800 a month, and plaintiffs would only stay there for a few days a year. Defendants say that since they couldn't find another home with four bedrooms, for $800 a month, and that smashed their dreams of being foster parents.  Plaintiffs live in New York for six months of the year, and San Diego for six months. 

Plaintiffs own the house, live there six months of the year.   Defendants had a verbal lease for $800 a month, for the entire house (a lie by defendants).  Plaintiffs say it was $800 a month plus kitchen privileges. 

Plaintiffs couldn't live with defendants, and evicted them.   Defendants always paid in cash, so either plaintiff's son, or defendants put the money in plaintiffs' account.  

William Franks, the 10-year tenant of plaintiffs, lives on another house on the property.  He made deposits for defendants, and plaintiff's adult son.   Missing items from the home are listed and given to JJ.   

Wiliam Franks received a call from Sandra Lightholder, saying defendants were moving out.   He took photos, and video of what the house looked like when defendants moved out.   He cleaned the home.   The defendants had a dog, and it looks like he used the house for a potty.   Witness Franks says the house was in good shape, before defendants moved in.  

Franks also cleaned the house, and tried to get the rugs clean.   Defendant Sharleen now says adoption, not fostering children.   Franks is caretaker for the house for plaintiffs, and has lived there for 10 years.   There are dog poopies all over the carpet.    JJ dismisses the small stuff. 

Defendants claim plaintiff's son was living there after they left.   Franks testifies son moved out when defendants moved out.    

Plaintiffs get $1200 unpaid rent.   Hard to establish who stole the material. 

Fight Night! -Plaintiff/former roommates Brenda Faulkner and (boyfriend) Jack Conrod are suing defendant/former landlord Ellen Page for car damage, rent, and property taken without permission.   Plaintiffs were in the process of moving out, when the big argument happened with defendant. They ended up with the police showing up. 

   Plaintiffs stayed after the period they had paid rent for.   Defendant wants unpaid rent, and lost wages, and missing property back. 

Plaintiffs owe defendant $200 in rent.   Defendant has two TVs that will go back to the plaintiffs within 5 days.    Defendant will get her GPS system back, and plaintiff gets his playstation. 

Plaintiff claims she paid defendant $200.

4 p.m. episodes-

Unbearable Living Conditions?! -Plaintiff /former tenant Karen Robbins suing defendant/former landlord Janice Day for return of rent, and security deposit. Plaintiff claims she only lived in the house for two months, not the three months defendant wanted.   Ad for room says $500 a month, three month lease prefered.   $150 check for security, and plaintiff claims $100 cash, so $250 security. 

Plaintiff says house was unsafe, with all of the tenants moving out.  Other tenants were convicted felons, appliance issues, dryer was broken, and other issues.    There were arguments, fighting, domestic abuse. and defendant had a criminal record also.     Plaintiff says house was unsafe, that there was a lot of arguing in the house (plaintiff rented a room), and claims the defendant is an alcoholic. 

Plaintiff later moved in as a roommate in boss's home.   Plaintiff claims that she gave notice at the end of the first month, saying she was moving out at the end of the month.   

Defendant says she removed another tenant from the property, the same month plaintiff moved in.   Lease signed by both parties says three month commitment to rent.  Plaintiff claims to get rid of tenants that defendant gets a restraining order barring them from the home.  

Everything dismissed (This was in Suwanee GA, and Woodstock GA). 

Defendant says plaintiff was arrested for impersonating a police 

Plaintiff now wants $150 (defendant paid her $150 already)

Merging Motorist Mayhem! -Plaintiff /driver Ryan Rolen suing defendant/driver Andres Gerrera for car damages from defendant hitting the car plaintiff was driving.    PLaintiff purchased car for $1500, but it wasn't paid off, but he had insurance on the car. 

Defendant didn't have valid insurance on the day of the accident.  He claims he bought insurance on the morning of the wreck, but it didn't take effect for 24 hours. 

Plaintiff had valid insurance, was driving in the fast lane, defendant was in the right lane/slow lane.  Defendant claims a merging vehicle came over, so defendant pulled left and hit the plaintiff.   Damages are to the front right side of the bumper.  Estimate for the car is $650.

JJ is wrong, a bumper costs a lot to replace.  JJ dismissed the plaintiff's medical claim. 

$400 to plaintiff. 

Lhasa Apso vs. Pit Bulls! -Plaintiff /Lhasa Apso  owner Robert Thomas suing defendants/ Pit Bull owner Antwoinette Sims for vet bills.   Plaintiff's yard is fenced, but the Pit Bulls were found in his fenced yard at least twice before this attack, by plaintiff's 16-year-old son, and taken home to Sims' place. 

Defendant had the two dogs, she claims dogs were owned by someone else, because owner was sick and homeless.   Defendant rents, so I wonder if the Pits were allowed in the lease?   Dogs were given to a friend of her kid's father after the attack.  

Defendant Sims claims she never knew about her dogs getting into plaintiff's yard twice before the attack.    However, in Sims' statement to the court, she says the fence on plaintiff's yard is falling apart, and says she knew the dogs got into plaintiff's yard.   As usual, defendant claims someone on JJ's staff lied, but defendant signed the statement. 

Defendant's kid's father, who lives in her house too, claims the dogs weren't a problem.   The boyfriend says the Lhasa Apso dug the hole under the fence, and that’s how the Pits were able to get into the Lhasa Apso’s yard and attack.

Pits lived at the house for over six months. 

After the attack, defendants chained the dogs, until animal control told her the dogs couldn't be chained out 24/7.   Defendant Sims claims she couldn't put up a better fence to keep her dogs in, because it's a rental. 

Plaintiff shows the vet records, and photos of the Lhasa Apso's injuries.  Dog lost sight in one eye. 

Plaintiff receives $4,141

 

Old Mercedes, New Boyfriend, Bad Blood! -Plaintiff Breanna Sanderson(ex-girlfriend of defendant), Roxane Sanderson (her mother), are suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Jeffrey Millard for a Mercedes, and rent owed.

The sordid story involves Breanna, defendant, and their three children moving in together, and then litigants wanted to trade in a car, and get a used Mercedes.   Plaintiff Breanna and defendant were living in an apartment, and two weeks later  plaintiff Roxane decided to go with another guy, so defendant moved out, taking the car with him.   Defendant said why should he pay for Breanna, the new boyfriend Rob, driving in a car he was paying for, so defendant repo'd the car.   Breanna, kids, new boyfriend, moved in with Roxane, also leaving the apartment. 

The Mercedes was eventually repossessed by defendant who is paying for the car.   Why should defendant pay on a car that plaintiff and new guy are driving? 

(I hope I got everything straight, it's really confusing.  I'm just sorry for the kids). 

Roxane was paying the insurance, or so she claims. 

Plaintiff case dismissed. Defendant keeps the car.

Worms Coming Up Through Drain?!

[laprin]

I’ve been watching classic episodes of Judge Judy on Pluto. These are from the 1996-1999 period. JJ was so much more thoughtful and kind back then. I watched one episode where the defendant asked if she could ask the plaintiff a question, and JJ allowed it. She was far more patient and didn’t have her mind made up already. Byrd was also nicer. So what happened? Did they just become more jaded and cynical due to all the liars they came across? Was it boredom? 

[PrincessPurrsALot]

The show changed because TPTB decided that they would get more eyeballs if she became meaner.  They shifted to more cases that features fools and scammers, leading to the idea that people are becoming worse.  We see this in other shows in which initially the main person would be kinder to people, but, with positive reactions to more negative behavior, they become less understanding and more pointed.  A good example is My 600 Lb. Life.  Also think about the progression of The Jerry Springer Show from a fairly typical talk show to wig snatching and brawling.  They even dressed the people on the show when they would allow it.  Another example in the real housewives shows that initially featured normal family interactions and now are fully focused on ludicrous fights often fueled by excessive drinking. 

Initially the court shows had a greater variety of cases, many of which the average person could imagine being part of - contract disputes, etc.  However, over time they switched to the sensational.  This allows JJ to roll her eyes and otherwise express disdain for and superiority over the participants.

4 p.m. episodes-

Breast Implant Payback! -Plaintiff Joseph Romero suing defendant /ex-girlfriend Patricia Wollam for an unpaid loan for breast implants, $6200, and for the return of furniture.   Litigants were romantic, and when she left she took half everything, including the furniture purchased from their joint account.   Big mistake having a joint account with the defendant.   (This was in Lancaster, CA).  Both litigants were separated, then moved in together.   Both went back to their previous partners. 

Defendant moved, and a lot of items didn't make it.   Plaintiff took half of the towels, according to defendant.    Defendant claims he only bought a blender, and small items.   Plaintiff claims he also had a TV, and he gets that back.   

Now the interesting part.   Plaintiff paid $6200 for new boobies for defendant.  Plaintiff claims they both went to the surgeon, and defendant couldn't finance the boobies.   Defendant claims the surgery was all the plaintiff's idea.  Defendant claims she only had the surgery because plaintiff wanted it, offered to finance them.   Plaintiff says defendant did fill out a credit application, but defendant denies that.  

They lived together for two months after the surgery, so $5,000 of the $6200 surgery costs to plaintiff.   

Defendant went back to her previous fiance, they got married, and JJ says new / retread husband should pay the rent, because he lived in the love shack formerly occupeid by the litigants. 

Defendant bought a car, before she moved in with plaintiff.  She claims plaintiff's daughter could borrow her old car, and claims plaintiff tricked her to put the car in plaintiff and daughter's name.    After they broke up, defendant's old car, legally owned by plaintiff and daughter was sold. 

Defendant is counter suing for attorney fees, value of a car, and return of property. 

$5,000 to plaintiff, defendant counter claim dismissed. 

Flooding with a Purpose? -Plaintiffs/former tenants Ashley WIllis and boyfriend Bradley Warren suing defendant /former landlord John Barnes for return of rent, security deposit ($750), and moving costs.    Plaintiffs only stayed for one day, the pipe broke, and it took two days to repair the pipe and fix the damages.  So, plaintiffs didn't want to wait for repairs, and left.   Defendant says plaintiffs only paid $750, half of the security deposit.   Plaintiffs have two children together, plus she has two more.   

Plaintiffs claim an electrical panel fell off, and broke a hot water pipe.   So, tenants rented a big U-Haul moved in their property, and moved in.  On day one the pipe flood happened, so plaintiffs moved out.  

JJ says landlord's claims are ridiculous. Landlord claims tenants deliberately broke a pipe, to flood the rental property. Landlord claims the tenancy wasn't for the couple and four children.   So, the tenants already breached the lease before they moved in.   Not that I'm discounting the landlord's ridiculous explanation of why the tenants would break the pipe deliberately.     So, where did the tenants move to?   Landlord claims the plaintifffs realized they couldn't afford the home and utilities, so they wanted out.   

Plaintiffs get their money back$750, for the half of the security deposit, moving costs, and rent dismissed. 

9 Grams of Marijuana -Plaintiff  Antoinette Green suing defendant  David Smith for causing her car to be impounded for defendant being found in possession of Weed.    When plaintiff was driving, car was pulled over, and defendant was found to have Weed on him. Car was impounded, and plaintiff wants $3100 for a Cadillac Coupe de Ville.   Plaintiff was called to go to work, she wanted defendant to drop her off at work, and drive her car home.    

Plaintiff was dropped off at work, and while defendant was driving home, defendant was pulled over by police, and found to be in possession of Weed.  Defendant says he was pulled over by police for no reason, and police found Weed and paraphernalia, and car was in impound for five months, because it cost too much to get car back.   Plaintiff says the impound couldn't be released until defendant's case was tried.   Plaintiff says car wasn't held as evidence.  Plaintiff claims months before this the impound fee would be $2,000, and she couldn't pay it.    By the time defendant's case was heard, the bill was up to $3100. 

Plaintiff has no proof of how much the impound required to release her car.   

Defendant claims they were plaintiff's drugs, not his.   Defendant wants to be paid for his time in jail.   

Case was closed five months later.   Defendant claims by February, when the case was dropped, that plaintiff had a new car, and didn't even try to get the Cadillac back. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant's ridiculous counter claim is dismissed too. 

Where did the Love Go? -Plaintiff Rachel Lumbra suing her ex-boyfriend/defendant David Bagner for unpaid loan to pay his bills, and punitive damages for threats and harassment.  

After dating for two weeks, defendant moved into a new apartment, and he claims plaintiff gave him money to give him a new start.  Defendant is counter suing for plaintiff unauthorized Pay Pal charges. 

Plaintiff gave defendant $1400 for several loans.   Loans were $800, and later $600, to defendant in cash.  First loan was 2 weeks after they met, and second loan was 6 weeks later.   Plaintiff worked as a chef part-time for his mother for a long time, and still works for her part-time, but has another job as a chef. 

Defendant claims the money wasn't for his rent, because he pre-paid three months rent before moving into the apartment.  So, defendant claims money he received wasn't a loan, but they were gifts, and only became loans after they broke up. 

The day after they broke up, plaintiff applied for and received a restraining order. 

Plaintiff actually received a restraining order against defendant. 

$1500 to plaintiff for the loans.

4 p.m. episodes-    

Brothers’ Eviction Blues -Plaintiffs/brother and former roommate Ty Burks    suing defendant Jesse Lovins for damages to their apartment and eviction fees over property damages. Plaintiff brother Ty was getting off the lease, so plaintiff witness brother Brodie could get on the lease.  Then,  Brodie lost his job, so they were all evicted. Ty is the younger brother, plaintiff witness Brodie Burks is Ty's older brother.   Brodie had the rent, and defendant didn't pay his half of the rent, because defendant lost his job.  (This was in Sacramento).

After Brodie and Jesse were evicted for non-payment, Ty received a bill from the landlord, wanting payment for lease breaking and damages. 

Case is dismissed without prejudice, so plaintiffs can go back to Sacramento to try again, this time bringing evidence.    

Recalled case-the litigants come back, this time with the agreements they should have had before, so JJ lets them litigate again. 

Ty Burks has a more recent document from the landlord, about the eviction, and making payments to the Renaissance about paying $20 a month on the breaking fee.   Lease breaking and damage fees were $8000, no one paid them yet.  Brodie Burks tells JJ why he wasn't on the lease, and didn't pay.   Brodie claims the complex management didn't care about their issues with payment. Ty never took his name off of the lease, and doesn't understand why he should pay anything. 

JJ dismisses everything, again. 

 

Landlord Harassment? -Plaintiffs /former tenants Jennifer and Matthew Lujan rented a condo from defendant/ Carol Kagamaster are suing for deposit, car, improvements to defendants condo,  and appliances.    Stove and microwave were broken, and they wanted replacements, so plaintiffs purchased the stove and microwave, and they couldn't take them when they moved out. 

Rent was $1995, and lived in the condo from 2011 to 2014.   Plaintiffs bought the stove and microwave (over the range hood).   Stove and microwave worked on move in, but broke a few months later.   

Defendant couldn't afford to replace microwave or stove, and plaintiffs would buy the appliances.   Plaintiffs took half off of the rent, and claim defendant would pay them back for the other half.    Defendant paid for half, but Carol wanted a used appliance, but plaintiff Jennifer wanted new.    Appliance issue is dismissed. 

Security deposit was $1995, plaintiffs didn't get the deposit back.  In lease it says if tenants painted anything they had to paint it back white.   Plaintiffs painted some walls blue, and not back to white.   Since defendant's husband changed the locks, that's dismissed. 

(I hated this JJ decision.  The lease said wall repainted to white, plaintiff didn't do that.  I bet painting over blue took extra costs of paint too.    Plus, tenants didn't give notice, and moved the father in, and he was never on the lease.  The only good part is the show pays the $1995 payment to plaintiffs.    I think the payment by the show is the only reason landlords come on this show.    However, there have been a few landlords who really did make out well, maybe one a season. )

$1995 to plaintiffs for security, since JJ thinks very few tenants don't deserve that back. 

Plaintiffs parked in a non-parking space for too long, and their car was towed, and impounded.   Car was never retrieved from impound, sold and it's gone.  JJ points out that plaintiffs didn't read the parking rules, and I bet there were signs too.    Car issue is dismissed. 

 Landlord says a relative of tenants threatened and harassed her, Jennifer's father is the person in question. Defendant says plaintiffs also moved Jennifer's father into the condo, he wasn't on the lease.   Then plaintiffs left father behind while they were moving out.   Defendant says when she found out about Jennifer's father living there, and condo was being emptied out. 

Plaintiffs receive their $1995 back, even though they gave no notice of moving out.

My friend, your commentary is a thing of beauty!

eta: I watching a few in bed the other night and JJ actually said to the defendant "I'm usually PRETTY SYMPATHETIC with landlords" and after I picked myself off the floor and I wondered, yeah, but on what planet?
