In the party planner case, I suspect that the plaintiff didn't cash the check is because that would mean that she accepted the $500, instead of the $700 she was owed by the planner. 

Yes, but (I know I"m slow sometimes) if she recovered the 700$ here today and kept the cheque she could have gotten nearly double what she was suing for. Aside from that, the very most she was owed was 200$, and she also expected def. to pay for the new planner she hired. I think she was looking more for a free party than being made whole.

It was a twist when we find out def refunded plaintiff - who seemed incapable of understanding simple English - 500$ but she never cashed the cheque

This case was notable only from the standpoint that the defendant snatched a minor victory from the jaws of defeat. Rarely to we see JJ exit stage right only to return to the bench, have a seat, and change her ruling.

So, middle-aged adults throwing extravagant birthday parties for themselves is - as the present vernacular says - "a thing" now?

Parties and self indulgence are defiantly “a thing” now. We’re in the midst of wedding planning. It’ll be a blast and we've said “yes” to a lot.  But some of the things we’ve said “no” to are just silly.  A $2,000 gourmet ice cream truck at midnight after a night of booze, appetizers, dinner, more booze, desert and wedding cake? Um, no. How about we all Uber to Baskin Robbins instead? Put the word “wedding” in front of any product or service and watch the price jump at least 50%.

Judge Judy Calling-Plaintiff suing defendant for return of money she paid for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. 

I never saw this one, and I swear that listening to La'Toi and Mr. Goodson -  both of them so agonizingly and excruciatingly stupid they couldn't get the lies straight - fighting over this 20+-year-old Jeep made me lose most of what few brain cells I have left.  Damn. It wasn't even amusing.

I'm wondering if this is part of the reason so many marriages break up so soon. After being showered with money and attention and 50K fairytale weddings, maybe the big come-down of daily married life, along with all its drudgeries may have brides thinking, "But I'm Cinderella! What happened?"

The repeat of Sandra Beeson suing her former hubby-boo was just as annoying this time. Sandra stands there snickering and laughing as JJ calls the smirking "Mr. I don't file taxes" despicable and scuzzy. Why are you laughing, Sandra? YOU wanted him badly enough to marry him. Desperate much? I'd eat the 1400$ before I let the world know what I would do to get a "Mrs." in front of my name. Reminds me of an ex-friend of mine, who told me, "I feel by my age I should have at least one bad marriage behind me." She made it happen, just like Sandra did, except her choice was even worse if you can believe that. 

[AngelaHunter]

Oh, and the women ("nervous" meth head) being sued by her former roomie, Buffalo Bill/professional composer/maintenance man needs to not pull her head in like an alarmed turtle. It's not a good look. The "fall" isn't great either.

Going back to the case of the lions: did anyone else think that JJ was ready to throw out the case (with all the questions about lawyers, and "closing costs" - she got caught up in things that had nothing to do with what was in front of her), only to be confronted with irrefutable proof of a side deal (which she at first dismissed, not recognizing the defendant's reply at the top of the email?!?!?!)?  It makes me wonder what else JJ dismisses/rushes through in pursuit of sushi day.  But at least she grudgingly acknowledged she was wrong.  With a less prepared plaintiff, the defendants could have been able to declaim the side bargain, and make off with the lions.  How many other cases are like this one?

I've had two daughters get married and plan their own weddings. Both had awesome ceremonies and great receptions with a lot of dancing and food and cake and booze and fun, but I agree that some things can really get out of hand. One of the only "extravagances" D1 had was a carriage ride from the church to the reception site (about a mile away). They got married in a tiny town where there was a town square and the driver looped the town square where there was some kind of Xmas celebration that day and they got to wave at people like they were Charles and Diana. The pics were amazing. Best $250 every spent. 

The Bronze Lions case made me laugh too hard. When I drive to D2's house, I pass through a different neighborhood where there are several houses on the way that have those lions out in front of basic tract houses. Apparently they are tres elegant to look at while you're sitting in front of your garage on a folding chair drinking 40 ounces with your friends.

I'm sure what she was looking for is reference to the loins in the real estate purchase agreement and the closing documents.  Whatever those docs said would have made the email contract null and void.  It's a mistake not to include or exclude something that valuable (and ugly) in the purchase agreement and whoever prepared them was remiss.  BTW, I'd have paid $5,000 to have them taken away.

[CrazyInAlabama]

I'm not a fan of bronze lions, or other 'statement' pieces on the lawn to advertise how 'classy' I am.    I bet since the name, and location banner under the defendants said Tampa, that they don't own the house any longer.     

Generally, you have to exclude items you want to keep before a house sale, and it's best to remove them before showings start.   If the woman wanted to keep them, she should have taken them away first, or upped the purchase price by $5k, and said they were included.     I don't think the $12k in closing costs had anything to do with the lions, and really had nothing to do with the house price for the court case either.     The lion deal should have been added to the contract long before closing, and that's the reason that the current rules are that the closing document has to be in the hands of the seller, and buyer three full days before closing.  

If something like those lions were included with a house I bought, I would put a "free" sign on them, and they would be gone by noon.   Lots of people will take something like that, and sell it at the flea market, and as long as they were gone, I'd be happy with that.

Not unless the home is palatial. I have a plastic birdbath in my yard, but it looks like bronze! Def was such a dumbass to agree to pay for those in his email. Personally, I would have replied and told her I didn't want them and she would have to come and get them.  Of course, it was worth it for defs to appear here, looking very silly, since the show paid for the lions.

3 p.m. reruns-

Witnesses on the Judge's Watch List!-Plaintiff suing ex boyfriend/defendant for car he took when he left, assault, and harassment.     Car was $2,100, and plaintiff paid for it.   Plaintiff's witness is the mother of defendant's witness's kid (I hope I got that right).    Defendant is listed as a lien holder on the car, even though he paid nothing for it.  Defendant's witness gets the boot.  Plaintiff's witness gets the boot next.  Defendant claims plaintiff went back to Chicago, because of an on-going case with DCF.  Plaintiff gets $1.050, and loser ex keeps the car.  

Disastrous Crash Into House!-Plaintiff suing defendant for crashing into her house with her pick up truck.    Plaintiff claims defendant was unresponsive, apparently with a seizure.  Defendant is a postal worker, but claims she wasn't insured because she couldn't afford it, and it expired three months before the accident.    Plaintiff and kids were watching TV, hear a giant boom, plaintiff went outside and turned off car, and took keys.  Defendant seems to think this is funny.  $5000 for the plaintiff.  

Break-Up Fit of Rage?!-Plaintiff suing defendant (ex-girlfriend) for car loan, bail money, and destruction of property, while she was so drunk she doesn't remember anything.   Plaintiff knew she had alcohol issues, but they still drank together.   JJ throws out the car issue.  Plus, plaintiff says defendant attacked him, he bonded her out of jail,  Everything happened when they were living together, and intimate, so no one gets anything.  

No Backsies!-Plaintiff suing ex girlfriend who he claims went on a drunken rampage for his "likes" on Facebook.   I hope no one gets anything, but I have to leave now.

She HAD already decided, since she told the lady, "You are NOT getting the money!" - assuming it was one of those cases where someone sues for the value of the POS junk car, rather than the car itself.  "I don't want the car, Miss Judy. Just the money."   And then lo and behold, another "Conract" appears.  Interesting case in that is was different!

5 p.m. both new-

Manhunt for Criminal at Large!-Foolish plaintiff had her car stolen or borrowed by boyfriend, and it was impounded after defendant goes to California, commits a robbery of a lady's purse, and he already had an extradiction warrant for household burglary from Washington.    Plaintiff tried to get a lawyer, and bond to get loser out of jail, so she could have him help her get the car back.     I hope this fool boyfriend soon commits two more crimes in California, they have that three strikes law for sociopaths like him.  Plaintiff claims defendant's mommy made her feel guilty for not getting loser son out of jail.   Plaintiff lost her license for not having insurance card with her, an unpaid traffic ticket, and also had a pending DUI.  

$1402 to plaintiff for car that she'll never see again.   

Married Teen Victim of Odometer Fraud-Plaintiff wants money they paid for car, money fro what they put into the car (not getting that).  $3300 was the cost of a car, and the odometer wasn't 108,000 miles, but CarFax says it was actually 208,000 miles.    Car was bought by defendant at auction, and he offered a refund.    The plaintiffs should have looked at the Car Fax first.    Plaintiff wife just won't shut up.   Plaintiff signs title to defendant, and gets money for car $3300.  

Man Brings Wife and Girlfriend to Court?!-Plaintiff wife discovers in a text message that her husband is loaned $2800 to another woman he works with.    Plaintiff jerk claims he was only friendly at work with the defendant, but his wife disagrees.    Plaintiff loaned money before to defendant, but she didn't repay him a penny.      Plaintiff jerk actually took cash advance on his credit cards.   Plaintiff gets $1600.   Defendant claims he's divorcing wife, wife looks surprised.

If You're Psychotic and You Know It, Clap Your Hands!-Plaintiff suing for illegal eviction, security deposit, and belongings.   Defendant counter claims for rent.   Defendant claims tenant's boyfriend was psycho, assaulted her several times, and says she took plaintiff to police station.    Plaintiff said there was no issue with her boyfriend, and defendant says he was nuts, and always a problem.   Security deposit was $500, and rent was $650 for first month's rent.   Plaintiff didn't pay one month's rent, and then was told tenant to move out.    Landlady says rent was short every month, late usually.     Police escorted the plaintiff through the house to get her belongings.  Plaintiff claims her purse and drivers license were in the apartment, but she also says she's driving now.   Landlady/defendant gets what's left from security deposit, and last month's rent.

He looked like such a fool and the defendant like such a money-grubbing worm. I think it most probable that he filed a claim and agreed to appear on national TV only because his wife was pressing him to do so, as penance for his stupidity.

I hated the tenant psychotic case, I think it was exactly as the landlady said, and think the plaintiff needs a lot of help.  The really wacky ones often don't show how far off they are.       I bet any previous landlord was very happy to get rid of her, and gave her a decent reference to have her move.  

I love how in the first case the boyfriend said he borrowed the car, and after the impound the girlfriend claimed it was stolen, but didn't do a police report.  

The man with the wife and girlfriend is a loser, and it's too bad he received any repayment.   It's not as if the girlfriend ever repaid him before.

OMG, can't let that go on, so Alan pays - with CC cash advances at 30% interest🤣 -  for her to take the darling boy someplace there is snow for him to marvel at and frolic in, although son is old enough to drive a car. Alan is SO benevolent.  It seems he has a "type" but he seriously misjudged the grasping def. Her text, which started with "My love" read just like a Nigerian scam email where recipients are always addressed as "Beloved" "My love" or "Honey/Baby" just because the scammers are engaged in so many scams they can't remember their targets' names or which one they're addressing. Probably the case here. Ooh, def's son saw snow and now he needs a car and ol' Alan the Joke is willing to shovel yet more money down this rathole. His wife sits there, standing by her man, and listens to all the times her hubby dearest showered that skank with more and more money and how he told her he was divorcing the wife for her. This was truly awesome, although I'm really sorry def sent that text saying she would pay back some money. Alan deserved a big fat goose egg and to leave here humiliated with empty pockets.

Agree. She found out about all the money - all in CC debt for her to share -  and sneaking around by her ridiculous little spouse, yet here she is, still with him and everyone now knows what she's willing to accept from that wee slug. 

[Florinaldo]

The wife probably showed up to keep her husband in line and make sure he went ahead fully with the agreed penance, as well as having the satisfaction of being there in person to witness him humiliating himself on national TV.

It also gave her an opportunity to play up her status as the offended wounded spouse.

Her tactic may have slightly misfired though as other posts indicate.

Agree again.  I'm not sure that victim in this case carries status so much as it does a stain.  And she didn't seem a bit satisfied, only sad and weak if I read her right. I wasn't sure if she needed a girlfriend to hug her or slap her.  Perhaps both.

3 p.m. reruns-

Tinsel Town Abandonment?!-Plaintiff rented a California house for winters, left a bunch of junk, and when the defendant decided to do long term lease with someone else, plaintiffs  picked up some stuff.     Plaintiff is actually claiming for Christmas decorations, plain old Walmart stuff.  Defendant received email about the Christmas stuff, and husband gave stuff to daughter of plaintiff, and she signed for it.   Defendant found the plaintiff's stuff, and they gathered more stuff up, with the help of the current tenants.    When defendant found 2 more bags, she gave them to pet sitter, and they went missing.    Case is dismissed (personally I hate when someone like the plaintiff thinks he can use a rental property for his own storage unit). 

Courtroom Kick Out!-Plaintiff suing defendant for disputing credit card charges.   Defendant wanted to rent motorcycle from business owner/plaintiff.    Defendant rented one for three-days, and then cancelled, plaintiff already ran the credit card, and said she would give him a voucher (no refund policy).    Then the credit card company took the dispute, but defendant dropped it.  Plaintiff just won't shut up, so she gets booted, unfortunately not with a real boot in the fanny.    Plaintiff booted out, and case dismissed. 

Another Reason Not to Live Together!-Plaintiff lets defendant move in for what she claims was for a few days, and stayed months.   Defendant was never on the lease, and there was no agreement to pay rent either, and plaintiff wanted him gone.   Police told her they could not remove the man, because he's a legal tenant, but supposedly the management office would have to evict him.        Plaintiff and defendant had a fight, plaintiff called the police, and defendant wants his property back.    JJ give defendant his stuff back under police escort, plaintiff gets nothing.  

Birthday Punch to the Face!?-Plaintiff's nephew,( the defendant) showed up at plaintiff's house for the plaintiff's birthday party, and was very drunk and argumentative.    Defendant made huge holes in the garage door.    Police were not called, because defendant was trying to get a CDL, and they didn't want this incident on his record.  $500 to plaintiff for garage door.

 Y'all know what the latest flip on the Nigerian email scam is? It's the Catholic priest texts! Several of the people at my church got texts from our priests asking them if they could go buy some Google play cards and scratch off the numbers and text the back of the cards to them so he could give them to "cancer patients" (how charitable is that!!) I actually got a text myself and started playing around with "Father XYZ", telling him I already had the cards and I was coming over to bring them to him. Next thing I was knocking at the door and saying "Hey Open the Door, I'm here!!!" I got a curt "I'm busy right now" and that was the end of that. This scam is spreading like wildfire throughout our diocese and other dioceses as well.

5 p.m. both episodes are new-

Who Robbed Who?!-Plaintiff (remodeling house to rent it out) suing defendant (unlicensed contractor) when more than $8k worth of appliances disappear, during a remodel.    Plaintiff's losses include appliances, sinks, and other items.   Plaintiff has a neighbor who witnessed a car at the house, and identifies the car as the defendant's.   $5,000 to plaintiff, and she's advised to follow up with the police.   (If plaintiff actually bought all of her remodeling stuff from Home Depot, she wasted a bundle of money, appliance warehouses, and other suppliers would have saved her a lot.)

Child Visitation Fight!-Plaintiff sues children's father over a loan for him to gain custody of a child by another relationship.    Loan was for visitation arrangements with the other woman's child.    I have the feeling I'm going to be yelling at my TV soon, over the plaintiff's foolish actions.  Plaintiff loaned him $1800, and defendant says that it wasn't a loan, and if he didn't get a tax refund, then he would let woman claim the two kids on her taxes.  (What is the defendant wearing?   Something from the Game of Thrones Pleather collection?).    $2500 for plaintiff.

Surprise!   I Left You No Money!-Plaintiff sister is suing brother / defendant for an unpaid loan to pay for his stepson's lawyer for an appeal of the prison sentence.  Defendant refuses to repay the loan ($4k), because the sister was the beneficiary of late mother's insurance policy, and defendant thinks he should have received half.     The loan wasn't really spent on an attorney, and never repaid either.     Plaintiff gets $4k. 

Don't Mess With the Corvette!-Plaintiff suing defendant (ex girlfriend) over lost property when he moved out.     When plaintiff moved out of their mutual house, she dragged his furniture to the curb and junked it.          (I don't know what I hate more, the pink striped hair with the long dark roots,  on the defendant, or the double face studs by her lip).    Then the plaintiff went to the house, and he says he wrecked his Corvette when the defendant and her new boyfriend, and their friends shot at him.     Car damage is thrown out.  $1000 for plaintiff. 

Truck Facelift!-Plaintiff suing defendant/ auto shop owner,  over the poor installation of a lift kit on his pick up truck.   Plaintiff only paid $300 for the lift kit installation, but wants $2500 back, because the lift kit wasn't installed properly. and it cost a lot more to fix the bad work.   Defendant claims plaintiff didn't do the proper adjustments on the lift kit either.   $300 to plaintiff.

I couldn't believe the plaintiff in the child visitation loan to her kids' father for visitation with another kid he didn't support either.    What do you want to bet he was living with someone else, which is why plaintiff and defendant didn't cohabit?

The scary part of the garage hole damage is that the defendant makes no excuses, and the relatives didn't call the police so he could still get a CDL, and endanger everyone on the road driving a truck. 

My guess the loser brother that was left nothing by the mother never did anything for the poor woman, and only the daughter ever took care of her mother.     I really hope the brother ran up a lot of bills in anticipation of his windfall, and received nothing.

What was the clincher that contractor took the stuff?  Wouldn't his vee-hickle be on-site if he were working there? I hit delete too soon.

I’m convinced he stole the property but only by his affect. He lacked and sincerity and the righteous indignation of a man wrongfully accused. But unless I missed something, the very credible witness only established that the defendant lied about being there on a day he testified he was not.

Gotcha!  I thought I might have missed a Perry Mason moment.

I'm not sure who said it, but someone testified that the defendant asked them to move their vehicle because it was blocking the driveway.  It kind of hinted the reason was to get his car out, full of loot.

3 p.m. reruns-

Breaking Down Barriers!-Plaintiff suing defendant next door neighbor for hitting her gate with her car, (houses do not share a common drive, and driveways are far apart).     Plaintiff says she was looking out her window, and when defendant did a partial U turn by using plaintiff's driveway, knocked the gate off the hinges, and kept going to her own home.     Car was not registered, and therefore, had no insurance.    Plaintiff sought a restraining order before the gate/car accident, because of harassment, and threats from the defendant and her roommate. 

I believe everything the plaintiff says about the defendant, and her roommate.    $2600 for plaintiff, and zip for the defendants.    

Get a Job!-Defendant unemployed niece (45 years old, unemployed for six years)  'borrowed' Aunt's credit card to buy $2500 worth of Christmas presents.  Aunt is a long retired, social security recipient.   who works for less than $3.00 an hour tutoring students.    Defendant claims divorce attorney told her not to get a job.  Aunt/plaintiff says she told niece to spend up to $300 in presents, but had to pay her back.   $2600 to Aunt. 

Dirty Drug Test Bail Out!-Plaintiff wants repayment for bailing his ex-wife out on a parole violation (drugs) for a theft charge.     Ex-wife never paid anything, and she says this was her only offense, but ex-husband has six offenses in the county they live in, and there are more in another county.   Plaintiff is also on disability, and woman tested dirty for meth while living with him, as roommates.    Bail bondsman's phone number isn't even in the U.S., so his case is dismissed (no proof).   $1558 is the bail amount, and the collection is now up to $4600.    Why does the plaintiff have to pay $15 a day for a child in jail?   

Teen TV Custody-Plaintiff suing defendant ex-girlfriend for destroying his cell phone, and taking his TV.   This all happened after they moved in together, when defendant was 17, and he's barely older.   Defendant broke his cell phone when she claimed he was cheating.   She also said she would pay him $300 for their joint TV, and paid nothing.  $450 for TV and phone for plaintiff.

OMG.  Ms Ellerbe is THE most entitled pushy haughty defendant I have ever seen!   And why is she not in jail?  She brought scissors with her, and CUT HIM!  That is assault with a deadly weapon in my book.

I think she is a lot more than that. Her generally flat affect and her inability to understand simple logical concepts sounds to me more like an actual (as opposed to virtual) psychopath - no empathy for people she deals with, no feeling of treating people decently, frequent adjusting of reality to match what she wants it to be, just using people as objects. I hope she doesn't have any pets.

Amen. And to that deception, impulsivity, violence and you have met the threshold for a textbook anti social personality disorder. Absolutely. Miss Bunny Boiler is a seriously dangerous person to herself and others and that’s a real life fact. 50/50 there’s a jail cell or a locked ward in her future.

As hard as it is for me to believe that a naked woman can break a shower made of stone, that little skank plaintiff had all the characteristics of a person who just got away with something. What a bunch of foul mouthed, low life trash on both sides of this family dumpster fire. Time to add come chlorine to that gene pool.

That was quite a performance from Missy Khi Scissorhands! And I use the word advisedly because I am sure she acts this way in good part because she has found it helps her to get her way in daily life.

I think she has an interesting future in store: either many people will be taken in by her solipsistic self-assuredness and her inventiveness at coming up with explanations for everything, or else she will be found out as the grifter she really is because her convoluted stories will eventually come to bite her in the ass.

Add to that @DoctorK's very relevant diagnosis which I think points to sociopathy, and I do not envy anyone else who eventually gets caught in her web. Although the signs are so evident that one could argue they will get only what they deserve.

5 p.m. shows, both new-(I love ratings sweeps month)-

Teen Sued by Mom for Pitching a Fit!-Plaintiff (soon to be formerly known as Mom) says defendant / daughter came to shower at Mom's house, daughter threw a hissy fit in the shower, and damaged the shower wall.    Bill for shower repair is  $2,550, Defendant says she didn't break or damage the shower.   (We've just heard "Oh, crap!" on JJ🤣).    Daughter needed to zip jacket, over her evening wear dress.   Daughter swears she didn't break the Corian shower, and Mother says she did.  Case thrown out.  

Ex-Lover Steals Shotgun and Gold Bars?!-Plaintiff suing defendant for moving out of his house while he was driving long haul truck, and she took everything of value.   Defendant was living with her husband, while shacking up with plaintiff, then was divorced, kept living with plaintiff in his house,  and ex-husband got the kids.  Defendant took safe with gold bars, vital papers, coin collections, shotgun, TV, and everything she could fit in her car.   As JJ points out, defendant and plaintiff were having affair, then shacked up, and she's upset that she thinks he's cheating on her.      Defendant went to friends house, and sometimes with ex-husband.  Defendant admits she had his things, and Facebook message says she sold everything.    Plaintiff gets $5,000.     I really hate the defendant.  She gives tramps a bad name. 

Scissor Hand Assault?!-Plaintiff suing defendant/ex-friend for loans, she claims they're all gifts.   She 'scratched' him with scissors, he says she stabbed him.   (Ms. Ellerbe scares me, and I can't imagine why she's not in jail.  Her dress is also ugly).  Ms. Psycho Ellerbe says defendant volunteered to give her money, and forced her to take it.     Plaintiff has proof for most of the money.     When defendant got mad at plaintiff, she stabbed him with scissors.   Plaintiff says she stabbed him, and left him for dead.  Defendant stabbed him in his car, and took scissors with her in her purse.   Plaintiff has photos of the text message she sent him to get him to her place, and the cut on his arm isn't that small.  Byrd is not happy with the defendant, can I hope he'll nail her with the Fly Swatter of Death soon?   

 Plaintiff gets $2500.

She out and out said to JJ that she gave the guy six hundred dollars so he wouldn't have to give her three hundred dollars, or something like that. Because....what?

I replayed this 4 times because for some OCD reason I needed to know. I think the bullshit she was trying to sell is that she would combine $600 of her cash with $350 of his to buy a $950 money order from the post office and pay her rent.  But it broke down for me when that same $600 in cash (which he couldn’t account for in his paperwork) combined with the $800 he could account for roughly equaled the $1,350 she admitted in her paperwork that he advanced her. The arithmetic wasn’t nearly as interesting to me though as it was watching full blown, real life sociopath go through her gyrations.  Only a truly dangerous and dysfunctional person invites a guest to her home then meets him brandishing a weapon. What a scary freak we witnessed today.

The only good thing about the stabbing case is the defendant isn't a home health worker, or works in a nursing home, like many of the other scary people we've seen on the program.

Her explanation made absolutely no logical or rational sense. But she obviously thought that by repeating it several times with great conviction it would penetrate what she implied to be JJ's thick skull (and I am sure it works with a lot of suckers).

JJ seemed utterly outraged that the mother would sue her daughter, as if her job should be to grin and bear it whatever the little brat does, including breaking the shower stall as she most probably did. It makes me wonder what sort of "healthy" relationship JJ had with her children while they were growing up.

I"m still on strike against cases involving any type of savagery, so skipped the scissor case. I got as far as, "Well, the scissors were DULL." Enough.

Unfortunately I did watch the Big Trailer Trashy Momma suing her trashy, smirking daughter (who actually had to be told to zip up her jacket because JJ didn't care to look at her half-exposed breasts)who really trowelled on the eye makeup, for her big appearance here,  over a "marble" shower - Corian marble is not marble at all but a man-made material usually used for countertops. Did we really think trashy Mom and her wimpy husband had marble? We did not. Momma doesn't work because she has to stay home and care for the kiddies who are in school all day, so between the two of them they couldn't afford a new piece of Corian.  Momma wants her younger daughter to testify against her sister. Nice, you moon-faced, mouthy, dumb cow. We hear a million "like like like like" and more mangled grammar and I couldn't finish this.

[Brattinella]

I'm sure JJ has REAL marble showers in her homes, and cannot imagine breaking THOSE, so she ridiculed  this plaintiff (because WHO sues their own daughter??? - right?) Geez lady, we had a corian shower and it was thin as hell, and had cracks in it.  Yes, the daughter threw a fit and kicked the shower wall and broke it.
