Old fence= New dog attack did anyone else catch the defendant complain about the plaintiff's "measly ass fence"?

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably from 2016 or 2017-

First-

Landlord Lock Out-Plaintiff/former tenant suing former landlady for illegal eviction, loss of property,.   Plaintiff's witness is his estranged wife, and wife was the legal tenant, and landlady knew plaintiff was living there on and off with estranged wife.      Landlady is counter suing for shed materials, back rent,   Landlady claims man was an illegal tenant, and she had every right to lock him out.  Landlady claims she didn't know plaintiff moved back, but she sometimes employed him as a handyman to build the shed for her.     Plaintiff witness/estranged wife, was moving out as of a certain date, and two days later the defendant changed the locks.  

Landlady claims the plaintiff changed the house locks, not her.    Plaintiff witness/ex-wife complains in text that locks were changed, but then plaintiff changed the locks.    Plaintiff is not getting back rent, and accepted rent from both plaintiffs, even though man was never on lease.  Legal tenant (plaintiff witness) gave 30 days notice to landlady, and she says plaintiff also said he was moving out.    Landlady's daughter claims she helped move man's property out, with the plaintiff's wife's help, and put them in the shed at the house.  Plaintiff witness claims the landlady's husband, and maintenance man moved plaintiff's property to the shed.  

 Landlady's witness that helped plaintiff witness move out plaintiff's property, is Dusty's the (the plaintiff witness/estranged wife/former tenant) witness's daughter.  

$5,000 to plaintiff for illegal eviction. 

Wronged Man Returns for Justice-Plaintiff suing defendant over a traffic accident.    The defendant's insurance company already said the plaintiff was at fault, but he thinks JJ will reverse that (apparently he never watched this show before agreeing to appear).    Plaintiff is suing for $250 for his insurance deductible.     Plaintiff's insurance paid plaintiff for his totaled car, and he had $250 deductible from that amount.      Defendant was driving a 1991 Toyota, plaintiff was driving a 1997 Acura. 

The front of defendant's car hit the back of the plaintiff's car (defendant's wild tie, and matching shirt is amazing), so it sounds like the accident was defendant's fault.   Plaintiff claims defendant ran a red light, and hit plaintiff in the rear from the side.     Defendant is standing there with his mouth wide open in amazement at the plaintiff's testimony.     Defendant claims he thought plaintiff hit him.   Defendant says he was going straight across the intersection, and plaintiff hit him.   

Photos show the defendant's car front hit the back passenger side of plaintiff's car.   Defendant is obviously suing because his car only had the bare minimum insurance coverage, and he didn't get anything for his car.   (Note to defendant, if you want to hit other cars, then get better insurance for your car).     Defendant actually claims the plaintiff slid sideways into his car.   

Plaintiff receives $250, and defendant is still deluded.   Defendant's hall-terview is bizarre, and he still claims the plaintiff was driving like a NASCAR wannabe, and hit him. 

Second-

Damages from Police Invasion-Plaintiff rented the front of her house (for the first and last time) to defendant.  Plaintiff suing defendants for damages from the police raid, utilities, unpaid rent. Police had a warrant on defendant, and broke down the front door.   Defendant couple and their child, plus a few other people  were living in the home.    They had a month to month verbal agreement, for $1200 a month rent, and half of the utilities.    In January, after the police raid she gave them a 30 day notice to quit, and defendants moved out in February.     

The warrant was on October 2016, for assault with a deadly weapon, and the case is still going on (this was filmed in 2017).   Defendant husband was held in jail for two months.   January rent was never paid. and on 2 January the 30 day notice was issued.    Plaintiff will get $1200 rent (no security deposit existed).    

Photos and bill for door are produced.   The front door damage was from the police raid, there is another door destroyed by defendant's dog, and the garage door has damage.   Defendant claims they paid $1200, for the first month's rent, and $300 the next month for the security, but there is no receipt for the security.    

Plaintiff receives $1690 for one month rent, and door damage.   Defendant's loss of dog (he had to give the dog away when they moved), defamation of character, and motel costs, everything is dismissed.   I love a defendant with a case for assault with a deadly weapon still going on in court is claiming plaintiff defamed him.  Dog was not allowed to be there, and guests not on lease, then the police raid happened.   Defendant claims the visiting relatives were baby sitting the 14 year old daughter, but plaintiff claims the daughter was left alone a lot.  Defendant's ridiculous claim dismissed. 

$1700 to plaintiff. 

Teens' Camaro Clash-Plaintiff suing ex-girlfriend for the value of a 2002 Camaro, purchased for $900.   Plaintiff said he loaned the girlfriend the Camaro.   He also had a 2003 Camaro, and a 1999 Hyundai.    Camaro is in impound, and it will cost almost $2000 to get car out of car jail.         (What is wrong with plaintiff's speech?   New braces, or what?).     Car ran out of gas, and Camaro was pushed to curb by defendant's house, Camaro was taken to mechanic, and it needed a blown head gasket replaced.    Defendant claims she gave plaintiff $500 to plaintiff for 2002 Camaro.     

There is nothing in defendant's written statement that says anything about her buying the car, and getting it repaired.   

JJ dismisses everything, because she believes nothing the litigants say.

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

 

I'm the World's Nicest Mechanic-Plaintiff was in a severe accident, resulting in a major brain injury (in a Hyundai Accent).      Plaintiff is accusing the defendant/mechanic of ripping her off.   Plaintiff was paid $1174 for the Hyundai Accent from the accident by the insurance company.  Plaintiff still drives the Element.  

Plaintiff's Honda Element (receipt from mechanic calls it a Honda Pilot) was fixed by the mechanic, and returned to the plaintiff.   Hyundai Accent (from the accident) was given to the mechanic, fixed up, and resold for $950.    Plaintiff expects sympathy because she spent her insurance claim payment on expenses, instead of the car.   

$174 for plaintiff (difference between car insurance payment, and what is owed to fix car).  (Plaintiff is still whining about the money she received.  She has a long history of suing for all kinds of social, and personal reasons.   Mechanic should try to help people that aren't full time litigants). 

Middle School Friends Fallout-(The litigants met in Middle School) Plaintiff suing former roommate for stolen property, unpaid rent.  As always, defendant claims he paid rent a lot more often than plaintiff says he did.  Defendant counter claim for hotel costs, and stolen property.   Plaintiff claims defendant stole and used his credit card, watch, and pistol.    Plaintiff claims to have a recording of defendant admitting thefts, but it died with his previous phone, just like always.  (What the hell did the plaintiff have done to his left eyebrow?   It looks like Morse code now). 

$800 (back rent for two months) for plaintiff.   

Second-

Morning After Pill Train Wreck-Plaintiff suing former boyfriend for damages resulting for him causing her to crash her car.    Defendant was going to take plaintiff back to his apartment, after an abortion pill, and he would take care of her after she took the pill, and defendant didn't believe her story.   Defendant left her apartment, went to his own car, and he saw plaintiff getting in her car, and they talked.   They argued again, with plaintiff in her car.    (As JJ points out, defendant should have kept his pants zipped, and he wouldn't have to worry about paternity and possible pregnancy). 

Plaintiff started her car, and when defendant grabbed her phone, she drove off, and had an accident.    Defendant claims if plaintiff was pregnant, it was probably her other boyfriend's baby, not his.  Sadly, plaintiff looks rather pregnant, and I feel sorry for that poor baby.   Her insurance covered the damage her car did to the neighbor's property, but she only had liability so they paid nothing for her car.     Police report is less than helpful.    (On a shallow note, horizontal stripes around her hips, and abdomen are not a good look for plaintiff). 

 JJ blames defendant for the accident, so plaintiff gets $1,530.    (If plaintiff claims paternity, then the defendant should get a DNA test.).

Transgender Jitters-Plaintiff wants moving costs, and rent, is suing former property manager.  Defendant was a property manager, and then lease holder for the property. It was an 8 bedroom house, with two sets of bunk beds in each bedroom.   It was a sober living house.   Defendant claims he never had 4 people in each room, even though there were enough beds in each room for that.    Rent was $450 a month, and plaintiff claims sometimes with 4 people in each bedroom.    Plaintiff gave 1 week notice of move out, and plaintiff claims defendant harassed her, and someone in the house wanted her to be a stripper (stripper person not in court).      Plaintiff claims defendant and others in the house didn't want to live  with a transgender person in the house.     So why didn't plaintiff and husband try to find a small apartment on their own?  I do realize that some places $900 a month won't buy much, but did they even try?    They must have found an alternative by now, so why not before the case was filed?    

Case dismissed.

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016 or 2017-

First-

Couch-Surfing Son Sued by Mother-Plaintiff / mother suing defendant /son, damage to her car, impound fees, and lost wages, for wrecking her car.   Defendant plead guilty to 'failing to maintain a lane'. Defendant was living with mother for about a year before the wreck, accident happened in the middle of the night.   Plaintiff claims car was insured on the date of the accident, but son says car wasn't insured.    Defendant didn't have a license on him at the time of the accident, and didn't have one, and went to jail on an alias.    Defendant was charged with removing tags from car, and had expired registration.   Car was registered in Missouri, but accident happened in Georgia, and plaintiff and son, and didn't register car in Georgia (she lived there 10 months).   By the way, you may not reregister the car in Georgia, but you have to get insurance to the address you live at.  Insurance didn't fix plaintiff's car, because defendant wasn't on her insurance (it wasn't in Georgia anyway).  (I used to have the same insurance, American Family, and they don't operate in Georgia).  

Plaintiff did not have valid insurance when the accident happened.  Plaintiff is raising son's child, and only gets food stamps (from Missouri).    I guess she doesn't change her address with states for the child's benefit either.  JJ advises the son to have authorities in Georgia garnish the son's wages for his child support.  

$3121 to plaintiff.   (JJ only did that for the child, not the grandmother). 

Retaliatory Freeway Brake Tapping-Plaintiff suing defendant for an accident on the freeway, defendant is countersuing for his deductible.    Accident was deemed 60% plaintiff's fault.   Plaintiff say defendant was tail-gating him at high speed, and plaintiff tapped his brakes, and defendant went all of the way right.   Instead of getting out of defendant's way, plaintiff tapped his brakes, and defendant pulled back in front of plaintiff's car.    Then defendant tapped on his brakes, causing plaintiff to swerve, and the accident to happen. 

Case dismissed.  

Second-

Great Childhood Friends, Lousy Roommates-Plaintiff moved in with defendant, rent free.   Then plaintiff moved her boyfriend in for three or four days a week, and when plaintiff was asked to leave, and claims it was an illegal lockout.   Plaintiff wants $5k for moving costs, illegal lockout, and other garbage.   Defendant inherited a house from her father, and she invited plaintiff to move in, but pay expenses (utilities, taxes) but pay no rent.  Plaintiff was saving at least $400 a month by living with the defendant.     Plaintiff financed everything off of her student loans, bad idea.   Defendant wanted plaintiff's boyfriend to pay one-third, plaintiff one-third, and defendant one third of house taxes, and utilities. 

(JJ says she won't pay motel and moving costs, or pain and suffering, and plaintiff says "she won't allow it".   I hope JJ takes the money back). 

Plaintiff gets $500 for the loan, which was actually, from her student loans.  $150 for her TV.   Plaintiff gets $650, minus $92 for utilities, equaling $558.

Short Temper, Long Rap Sheet-Plaintiff suing ex boyfriend for vandalizing her home and car.  After the break up, the plaintiff claims the defendant showed up at her house, and plaintiff wouldn't let him into her home.    Then plaintiff says defendant damaged her house door, bashed her windshield, and damaged a tire.   Defendant was sent to anger management, which didn't work.  Defendant plead guilty to the windshield damage, and paid for the window.   

Defendant had other domestic violence cases before this case.   

Plaintiff gets $1,036 for the front door.

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Unsupervised Teens Gang up on Younger Kid-Plaintiff mother is suing her son's friend's mother for her son punching a hole in a pool liner, during a pool party at plaintiff's house.     Plaintiff was having a pool party at her home for her son's birthday.    However, defendant son was pushed into the pool, and his arm hit the pool liner.    Defendant mother says her son was bullied at the pool party by the other boys.   Plaintiff says the bullying didn't happen, but she wasn't outside supervising.   

Defendant son/victim says the water was very cold, and he didn't want to go in the pool.  Defendant son says the bullying started when he arrived at the party.    Defendant son was pulled into the pool, and the older kids were pushing him inside the pool, and in the shoving match the pool was damaged.    

Plaintiff case dismissed.  She wasn't supervising at the pool, and was instead doing other things.    Plaintiff still sees nothing wrong with her lack of action.   She's lucky there wasn't a worse injury, or accident.   Plaintiff doesn't care at all.    She gets to fix her own pool. 

Don't Defraud he Government and Then Come to Me-Plaintiff suing her daughter for the return or value of a Nissan Altima, unpaid tolls, and unpaid tickets.   Defendant says she started driving the car in 2016 when car was purchased (summer of 2016, until January of 2019).   Car had mechanical issues, and was damaged in a shoot out on defendant's block (car is pretty much totaled now).    Defendant/daughter says she paid for car in full. 

Defendant purchased car, and car was in plaintiff's name because,  daughter had too many violations.   Daughter was still paying on a 2011 Altima that she was still paying on, when it's engine went,  and she bought the 2016 Altima.      Plaintiff claimed when the tickets, and violations were cleared up, and first car was in running shape, and defendant would give her the car. 

Car was in mother's name because daughter had too many tickets, and violations, and daughter couldn't register the car in her name.     Litigants violated the Clean Hands Doctrine, so case is dismissed.   

The best part is the daughter needed the car to get to and from her job as a Police Officer!    (In the Hall-terview defendant says mother is responsible for the loss of her sister, and a user.  Mother claims the tickets, and violations on the car totaled $13,000).      

Second-

Housekeeper Cleans Woman Out-(The plaintiff sounds like the people who think they're being generous to give broken, and other junk to someone who works for them, and the worker should be grateful)-Plaintiff says she didn't know what was in her storage unit.  Defendant says plaintiff told her to clean storage unit out.   Plaintiff suing for stolen property, and incomplete services.    Plaintiff was moving from Georgetown, TX to Cedar Park, TX, and defendant was to clean house after plaintiff moved out.   

Plaintiff said  payment was going to be what she wanted to give the defendant after they hauled everything out of the storage unit.   Plaintiff says she doesn't know what was in her own storage unit.  

Plaintiff won't shut up, and keeps interrupting JJ.   Plaintiff claims the defendant didn't clean the house at all, but cleaned the storage unit out.   

Plaintiff Motormouth thinks being old makes furniture valuable, and she's wrong.  Not everything is an antique.   I doubt her parent's bedroom set, and her son's teenage room furniture was even worth the cost to haul it.   

Defendants say plaintiff sold virtually all furniture to defendant's witness.   Witness bought $3,000 worth of furniture from plaintiff, and defendants moved furniture to witness's house, and they were paid $400.  Defendants cleaned for six days total, and are still owed by plaintiff.   

Plaintiff claims defendants were supposed to empty the storage unit, let plaintiff decide what she could sell (she had no room for any more furniture), and plaintiff would decide what to give the defendants.   Plaintiff was going to pay defendant for cleaning out filthy house and garage with the storage unit furniture. 

Plaintiff should see how much it would cost for commercial cleaners to clean up her filthy house and garage.   Plaintiff must have moved a lot of stuff, because the movers charged her $900 plus, for a move 30 minutes away.

Plaintiff thinks defendant should have cleaned the house, and settle for a referral to the home buyer she sold to.     

(OK, I've thought about this since the case aired today.    I wonder if Motormouth Nancy treats everyone the nasty way she treated the Latino defendants, and the beloved Byrd?  My guess is she does.  )

Plaintiff gets nothing, and I really think that's what she deserves. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016-2017-

First-

Pomeranian Custody Battle-Plaintiff /daughter suing defendant /mother for the return or value of a purebred Pomeranian.      Plaintiff says one dog is hers, but defendant took custody of the second Pom. when ne'er-do'well daughter went to jail again.   Mother bought two dogs, and daughter claims mother gave her the one dog, and she kept the dog for two years, but also claims the mother gave her the second Pom.   Daughter claims second Pom didn't get along with mother's five other dogs. 

In 2013-2014 defendant moved into a trailer owned by her father, and stepfather moved into the trailer too.   In 2014 plaintiff gave the male Pom to  her stepfather to keep the dog for her, because she could only take one dog on her move to Denver.     (I have totally lost track of who lives where, who had custody of the dog, or who owns what home).   Mobile home that plaintiff lived in belongs to the father, not defendant or the stepfather.   

Then plaintiff moves back to the home city, and wanted the second Pom back from the defendant, and defendant still has the dog as of the hearing.   Plaintiff gets the second Pom back, per Judge Judy.    Mother says in court that she's not giving the dog back to daughter. 

   

Day Care Serial Conman-Plaintiff suing former day care customer for non-payment.    Defendant has full physical custody, and joint custody with the child's mother.   JJ wants to know former child care provider, and he was terminated as a customer, for non-payment.  JJ decides that defendant is a deadbeat child care customer.  Plaintiff wants $25 a day for watching defendant's child for 10 days total.   Defendant said that he was enrolling his child in a Crystal Stairs program,  and claimed to be a single father, but child's mother went with him.   (Crystal Stairs is a non-profit that gives low income families on public assistance, attending job training, or job hunting, child care assistance.    If the person has not been on public assistance, then they can get on a list for child care, but that list is really long).    

Plaintiff receives $250 for child care services she provided. 

Second-

Remodel Fail in Old Hickory, Tennessee-Plaintiffs hired defendant to do remodeling work, and they're suing for breach of contract.   Defendant was paid $3,000, another $1,000 he was paid was on a check, that  plaintiffs paid him, and then stopped payment on the check.  Defendant, and plaintiff witness tried to help settle this matter, but not after suit was filed.   Defendant's counter suit is for unpaid money.   

According to contract, the work had to be substantially completed, but no specific deadline was mentioned.    JJ mentions that the $4,000 that was going to be paid to contractor for a long list of remodeling work.   Total price was supposed to be $7500, but only $3,000 was paid.   It also cost plaintiffs $14,000 to finish the remodeling job. 

Plaintiff gets nothing.    $1,000 to defendant.

Woman's Weak Defense-Plaintiff suing her former roommate for return of her rent, and security deposit, and punitive damages.    Plaintiff says she gave her portion of the rent to defendant, but defendant didn't pay the landlord, and plaintiff won't get her security deposit either.    Defendant claims the lease expired in February, but had signed another 1 year lease, that didn't take effect until the month the defendant moved out.  Defendant move out with her then boyfriend, and didn't pay the landlord for February, or give notice to landlord, or plaintiff.  

The only cleaning on security deposit was rug cleaning.   The rest of the charges from security is for unpaid rent.   

$810 to plaintiff.

JJ decides that defendant is a deadbeat child care customer. 

I agree with her. I remember this case from before, and once again I am fascinated by the defendant's psuedo military shirt. Does anyone recognize it? Is it some fraternal or veterans organization, or is it just a cutting edge style? I would hate to think that my laughing (at the sergeant's insignia on both sleeves, the general's stars on both sides of the collar and especially the name tape "COMBAT") was disrespectful to an actual veteran.

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

$40,000 Car Hangs in the Balance-Plaintiff and defendant lived together, and bought a $40K SUV together.   She's suing for the down payment on a Ford Explorer, and unpaid registration fees.  When they broke up he took the SUV, and there is still $28k left on the car note.   Sadly, both brought children into this relationship.    SUV was titled in plaintiff's name.    Plaintiff didn't report the car stolen, even though the title is her name, and defendant has been driving the car for two years.   As JJ said, if SUV wasn't being driven with plaintiff's permission, then she should have reported it stolen. 

Defendant is making the payments on the SUV.   There are registration and vehicle tax on SUV, and it's on plaintiff's record, and $1,286 is owed.   Plus, unless plaintiff signs the title, the defendant can't register, or pay the car taxes.  However, since defendant's car tax was due, they added $200 to plaintiff's bill.   

JJ tells plaintiff to cooperate with defendant to get the title, and registration, changed, and get the SUV off of plaintiff's record. Complicating things is the litigants keep getting back together, and breaking up, over and over.  

$1286 to plaintiff. 

Collegiate Car Crash-Plaintiff suing defendant for car damage.   Plaintiff was driving a 2009 Nissan 270Z.    Defendant was driving a 2016 Scion Ion, and didn't have insurance (I suspect she bought insurance when she bought the car, then either didn't pay or cancelled it after it was registered.   It was terminated by Allstate, and then she claimed to have Progressive, and didn't have that either.)    There are signal lights control all four directions, plaintiff had a green light, turned right, from the highway, and onto campus.   The frontage road that defendant was driving on had a stop sign.   

Plaintiff's car damages are $3251.00, and he gets that. 

Second-

Shady Dog Thief-Plaintiff claims ex -boyfriend's brother stole her dog, and defendant won't tell where dog is.     JJ points out defendant's witness can't even find the knees to his pants. (Pants are those ripped jeans).   Defendant claims the plaintiff owes money, and she'll get the dog back when she pays up.  

Plaintiff's dog is in Minneapolis, and JJ tells defendant it's a long walk home to Minnesota.    If defendant doesn't shut up about his personal issues, then  I'm going to offer Byrd money to beat the snot out of him.   

One reason defendant can't leave Minnesota is something to do with parole.  Byrd goes to tell defendant to shut up, and stays right next to him, and confiscates his phone.  Plaintiff claims man sold the dog.   Dog is a poodle mixed with a beagle, really cute.   JJ threatens to yank defendant idiot's appearance fee.   Defendant and wife live in North Dakota, but he's in Minnesota for 'personal business' (criminal charges related, apparently). 

Defendant says his sister is dog sitting.  Plaintiff wanted the defendant to train and take care of the dog.  JJ and plaintiff suspect defendant already sold the dog. 

JJ is issuing an order for a marshal to help get the dog back, and then jabber jaws defendant will get his appearance fee.  (I suspect the vindictive defendant gave the dog away or something, and I bet the plaintiff will never see the dog again).     Plaintiff and her witness claims the defendant sold the dog, and can't get it back. 

Niece and Nephew Bailout-Plaintiff suing niece and nephew for a loan for bail, and for the value of a car.  The aunt/plaintiff has custody of the niece's two children for over a year.  Niece purchased the car to get herself back on track,, and regain custody of her two children.     

When defendant woman had a dirty drug test, that's when aunt took car back.  How does a non-custodial parent get to bring the kids to her house?   Even after a dirty drug test? 

Visitation is now supervised, and at the CPS office only.   Defendant and plaintiff swear the court order said aunt had to buy her a car, and defendant says car was a gift.      

(Leavenworth KS has a lot of prisons, for the state and federal systems.   Their tourism motto used to be "How About Doin' Some Time in Leavenworth", which is certainly appropriate for the two defendants)

Case sent back to small claims court in Leavenworth, KS.  JJ strongly suggests that CPS do an immediate home visit to see where the children are living, and how they are.

Quote

 Daughter was still paying on a 2011 Altima that she was still paying on, when it's engine went,  and she bought the 2016 Altima.  

So, ummm, why do you keep buying Altimas?

It's probably not the car's fault, I'm going to take a wild guess and say they aren't exactly current on their maintenance, but if an engine blew on a relatively new car I owned, I would not be inclined to acquire another one.

And then added at least one more!  Despite JJ telling the woman to cooperate, I have absolutely no expectation that she will.  She refused to hear anything JJ said. 

Caught the last 30 seconds or so of the niece/nephew custody car thing. Yowza. The niece was a piece of work, and I literally only heard agree to answer questions, and then the only thing she said was, "I don't recall."  What was JJ trying to get info on? REALLY wish there was a follow-up version of this show sometimes!

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2017-

First-

Go Find Yourself Another Harlequin Great Dane-Plaintiff suing former neighbor for the return or value of a Great Dane, and punitive damages for having the dog spayed.   Counter claim if dog is awarded back to plaintiff is board for taking care of the dog.    Plaintiff paid $1200 for the two month old dog, in 2014.   Plaintiff had a Staffordshire Terrier, and Great Dane for a few months.    Then plaintiff moved in with her boyfriend six weeks after she bought the dog (2015), and his Pit Bull didn't like the puppy, and plaintiff gave dog to defendant to dog sit.   Defendant had the dog spayed (so plaintiff wanted to breed the dog, I'm guessing).   

After two years, defendant still has the dog,  Plaintiff claimed she paid defendant for dog food.    Plaintiff paid no bills for the dog.   Over two years, plaintiff claims she visited dog every two weeks.   Plaintiff says she was waiting for a settlement for her father's estate, and then would get her own home, and get the dog back.    However, plaintiff had her own place when dog was 10 months old or so, but never got the dog. 

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

Defendant keeps the dog.    Plaintiff told to get another dog.  She only had the dog for six weeks, and almost never visited, or brought food. 

Judge Judy Shares Her Husband's Approach to Telemarketers-Plaintiff suing former business partners for the return of money, and jewelry.    Plaintiff received a phone call from the male defendant, promoting a telemarketing investment business, and she was dumb enough to do that.   (JJ's husband tells the telemarketers where to go, and how to get there).    Defendants talked plaintiff into joining their pyramid scheme, where the idiot makes money by conning other people into joining the pyramid scheme.   Plaintiff whines because she was never paid for cheating other people that she recruited into the scheme.  Defendants want training costs, and making false allegations.     Plaintiff didn't have enough cash, and some jewelry for collateral.  Plaintiff paid $4,000 cash, and the jewelry.   The product was downloads teaching you to make money online, by getting people into the business (pyramid scheme).   Defendant says they sell digital licensing franchises.  

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

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

As JJ says, plaintiff was stupid, and is lucky to get her money back.  The two defendants split the $3500.    The female defendant

Second-

Pregnant Ex-Lover Anger-Plaintiff suing former live-in boyfriend for return of rent, moving costs, and security deposit.     They were shacking up, three months later it ended.    Plaintiff took out a personal loan for $4k for moving, security deposit, and rent.    Security was $1450, and rent was $950.    As usual, defendant has no proof he paid security and first month's rent. 

Plaintiff moved out in March, and went back to apartment to pick up some of her things, and discovered another woman living there.   Plaintiff rented a U-Haul, and moved out in Mid-March, and discovered the evidence of new furniture, TV, belongings of Heather (his children's mother, and their kids living there).    Man has 50/50 custody, and after plaintiff moved out he claims Heather only came over to send kids to school, but plaintiff says woman was living there.  (Sadly, plaintiff became pregnant, and claims defendant told her to get an abortion or move out.   Plaintiff moved out, and sadly will be tied to the loser defendant for years to come.  This is child number four for defendant). 

Plaintiff gets $1450 security back, but no moving costs.   Plaintiff also bought almost $1,000 of appliances, and defendant paid her $800 for those, and she'll get $150 more. 

$1606 to plaintiff.  Plaintiff does not get money for the loan, because she had no expectation of repayment.   Defendant claims to be a victim.  

Attending a Funeral or Arrested-Plaintiff suing former tenant for unpaid rent and damages.  Plaintiff rented a 2 story home to defendant, and defendant paid $1100.   Plaintiff claims defendant didn't pay from July to September (defendant claims he paid cash, and has no receipts).       Defendant owes $3300 for three months rent.   

Plaintiff has no proof of damages.    Defendant was out of town in September at a family funeral, however plaintiff claims man was in jail.    Counter claim by defendant is for property landlady took when he was at the funeral (or jail).      Defendant has no proof of the funeral he went to.    Defendant also left his girlfriend behind at the plaintiff's house, and she was told to leave also (apparently not on lease).  

 Plaintiff gets $3300 for rent.    ANd plaintiff gets today's award for hysterical faces, during the defendant's testimony.

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Landlord Beaten With Lead Pipe-Plaintiffs (brother and sister) / former tenants are suing their former landlord for return of rent, security deposit, and a missing laptop.    Female plaintiff was evicted from her previous apartment, and moved into a room in the defendant's place.   One night the plaintiffs had a party with five friends, and invited a bunch of strangers from the bar home.   They came home after 3 a.m. in the morning and were noisy. with their drunk friends.   Landlord asked them to be quiet, and a couple of hours later he heard a lot of noise from upstairs, and went to tell them to leave.    

 

When defendant objected to the noise,  some of the visitors beat him up, and he was beaten with a lead pipe.   (JJ mentions Rip Van Winkle, and over half of the audience don't know who Rip is.   JJ then says it's time to die.     Byrd is grinning when JJ says she's not mean).   

Plaintiffs lived there without paying rent for over two months.   Plaintiffs were served with eviction papers on 1 June, and they moved out on August 6.     Plaintiffs over stayed at the apartments.     Plaintiff also claims she doesn't know the names of the drunks at the party who assaulted the landlord, and are totally lying.    The landlord was badly injured by the drunken party goers, and the police haven't found the criminals yet.   Plaintiff claims she left her lap top behind, and she's totally lying. Plaintiff case dismissed.  (Plaintiff's woman's hair style is hideous.  It looks like I was cutting it, was interrupted, and never finished, and no sane person will let me cut their hair.   It's the mullet from hell). 

Landlord did see a doctor, and didn't feel better for over eight weeks.   

Plaintiffs both claims they don't know who the attackers were.    Plaintiff woman also says that she doesn't feel sorry that landlord was attacked, and that he 'overstepped' when he told the drunks to leave, and later evicted them.      Woman plaintiff really expected JJ to give them everything they asked for, and is totally pissed off.     

Landlord is told that since tenant invited people back who assaulted him, the they are responsible for the landlord's injuries, and landlord receives $5,000. 

 (Landlord was struck in the back, and as he said, if he had been hit in the head with the same force, he would be dead.     As JJ rightly says, the landlord may be mobile now, but who knows what his long term effects will be.)

Second-

(Not Very) Controversial Judge Judy Decision-Plaintiff realtor suing web designer defendant for not doing the web site she wanted.  Apparently, this is not the first web designer she's hired for the same job.   (Note to defendant, lipliner outside your lips in a dark color is passe).   Total cost of website was $3500, with defendant paid $1300 already.   Plaintiff claims the website was never posted on the internet.  Defendant sent user name and password to defendant, and says it was posted on the internet.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.    (I don't know why my cable guide called it Controversial, and IMDB and the JJ website too, but it wasn't). 

Housekeeper Steals Customers-Plaintiff cleaning service owner suing former employee for soliciting clients away from her business.   Defendant was hired with a contract, to do cleaning services, and contract said no stealing clients.   One of the ex-clients, and present client of defendant is the witness.     

JJ gives the plaintiff $5,000 for lost client.  

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016 or 2017-

First-

HOA President Accused of Leaks, and Lies-Plaintiff suing HOA President of lying about damage to plaintiff's condo (first floor apartment) from upstairs neighbor's (third floor apartment) plumbing issues.  Plaintiff has two videos showing proof.   Defendant is not only the condo owner, but the HOA president, and owns the management company, so it's a total conflict of interest.    Plaintiff's apartment was repaired by insurance, there were added items that defendant would pay out of pocket for.   Then an additional leak happened from the defendant's apartment (washing machine drain line leaked).    This apartment/condo building must be very old, there was asbestos, and the pipes with leaks look like galvanized. 

Part of the additional work was asbestos removal in the common area (hallway).    Common area damages.    

Plaintiff receives $2900.

Harley Motorcycle Work-to-Own Fail-Plaintiff suing former employer for wages, and a Harley Davidson.   Plaintiff was supposed to do excavation work for defendant, in return for a motorcycle.  and some wages.    Plaintiff claims defendant never paid him everything, kept the bike.   However, defendant claims plaintiff was a bad worker.

$3850 to plaintiff for wages, and the motorcycle that defendant still has. 

Second-

The Smell of 14 Cats in the Morning-Plaintiff bought a condo, and rented it to the defendants who had 14 cats, and 7 kittens, and the results were horrible to live with.  (I can almost smell the ammonia from just hearing 21 cats in one home).   Plaintiff was in college, when he moved to Norman, OK for law school, and now practices law there, he rented the condo.    Defendants lived in condo for three years, and were often late, but still owe partial rent for the last month.    Neighbors started calling plaintiff about the cat stench from the condo.   The maximum number of cats was 14, including kittens, and found homes for them (now the strange singing/meowing, voice of the defendant man starts).   Lease says 3 cats maximum.   

Plaintiff never gave permission for more than three cats.   I love the plaintiff, he has move in condition of the condo, the damages in photos, and original photos are from defendant's facebook page.   There are a lot of facebook photos, of many cats and kittens (different photos show different coat colors, and patterns).     On move in, apartment was immaculate, and in great physical condition.    In hall-terview the defendant male's voice is more normal.   

Bizarre note, the male defendant has a weird voice in court, a cross between meowing, and speaking.   Last time it was suggested by posters that it was Tourette's, or stuttering mitigation, or he's part cat.   Male defendant's hairstyle is interesting too, resembling cat ears.   

$5,000 to plaintiff for cleaning (won't even begin to remediate that smell, you have to remove drywall, all trim and baseboards, clean floors under carpet, or other materials, and it still might not get rid of the smells.  If you have pop corn ceiling, that will hold the smell also, and curtains and other fabrics).   I pity the neighbors of that condo. 

Store Owner or Drug Dealer-Plaintiff alleges that the neighbor in the  apartment building accused him of running a drug business, and filed a false protective order against him.    Plaintiff claims he only operates a store for building residents for juice boxes, and milk, and doesn't actually live in the unit.     Plaintiff also has an attorney he's used since he was 18, but can't find the number.    Plaintiff also claims he only has the store open to help people, and spends most nights at his girlfriend's place.   Plaintiff didn't bring any bills for his business, and claims the building manager knows about the business.  

After defendant called police about alleged drug activity by plaintiff, he made death threats against her, and she received a protective order.  (Plaintiff was selling his products out of two separate apartments, and the day-room in the building).   When the day room closes at 4:30 pm, he starts selling out of the apartment until late at night.       The plaintiff's attorney doesn't know him, the receipt for cash isn't a number the attorney uses,    Madonna Homes, the complex this happened in is only for elderly, and disabled people.     

I want to know how plaintiff and fiance qualified to move into a building for elderly, and disabled?    

Case is recalled, and attorney doesn't know the plaintiff, and his receipt isn't from his office. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.    Defendant is getting evicted from apartment complex because of plaintiff's harassment.    Counter claim dismissed. 

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Weed-Eating Foreclosure Theft-Plaintiff suing defendant (she supervised for a company that keeps foreclosed property looking good) because he claims he wasn't paid.   Defendant says work truck went down, and work was on hold for a couple of weeks.   Plaintiff says defendant owes him $4500,  $791.50 is what defendant says she owes.   

Counter claim is plaintiff destroyed and stole equipment, a weed eater, and a generator. Defendant says he never stole or destroyed anything.   ( I really like the defendant, she keeps great records). 

Plaintiff had a work /utility trailer on his property that belonged to the defendant's company.   When police came to pick up trailer, he slashed the tires, so his case is dismissed.    The trailer tire damages, and equipment loses negate the unpaid salary, so everything is dismissed. 

Don't Do Your Niece Any Favors-Plaintiff suing niece who defaulted on a car loan in plaintiff's name, car loan was four years old.   Defendant wants her trade-in value back, and down payment.   Car was repoed after four years.   Aunt/plaintiff claims defendant stopped making payments, so plaintiff stopped paying car note.   Plaintiff claims defendant bought another car.   

$5000 payable to credit union that held the note, they agreed with plaintiff to settle for that.  

Second-

Resisting Arrest While Dating a Teenager-Plaintiff (23 year old caregiver) is suing ex-boyfriend over impound fees she paid for him.  They were still dating until January 2019.   Defendant was dating his witness, at the same time for about a year.   

Defendant's witness is still in high school (she's now 18), so he's a two timer cradle robber too).    Car was impounded for unlicensed driver, and illegal modifications, man was also arrested for resisting arrest.   Man was arrested for resisting arrest, when car was impounded, and  a couple of months later too.  On one occasion he ran from the police, and his current child girlfriend was left behind in the car.   (He has a long record since 2011).   

High school girl is a fool.  Girl was in car during one arrest.  $3325 was the impound fee and fines.   Man also plead guilty and has 80 hours of community service.    High school girl is apparently prego too.   

$3325 to plaintiff.

Baby Mama Drama-Plaintiff suing baby daddy (6 and 3 years old), over an assault. Both litigants have been incarcerated in the last year too.   Plaintiff was jailed for Robbery 2, and DUI, and assault 4.   Defendant was jailed for breaking a no contact order with plaintiff, and Domestic Violence 4. 

Plaintiff doesn't have medical records.   Case dismissed until plaintiff gets medical records.  Assault dismissed.  Plaintiff claims she dropped laptop after the assault.   While plaintiff was in jail, she gave check to defendant to take care of their two kids, and he wasted most of the money. 

Case dismissed for plaintiff.  

Buddy Pass Fail-Plaintiff ($1,000 paid for pass) suing defendant over a buddy pass for airline travel.   Defendant wasn't allowed to sell buddy pass, but could only loan the buddy pass. Defendant also didn't pass probationary period, and no longer works for the airline.  Sadly, courts can't enforce illegal agreements.   

$0 to plaintiff.

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably from 2016-2017-

First-

Handicapped Senior Accused of Raging Vandalism-Plaintiff (caregiver) is suing her client for damaging plaintiff's car when she was pitching a fit.  Plaintiff was taking defendant on an errand, and when defendant got mad about something, and pounded on the dashboard, while screaming all kinds of nasty things.    Defendant threatened to not certify plaintiff's hours, so she wouldn't get paid. 

$836 to plaintiff.

Second-

Co-Worker Embarrasses Man Online-Plaintiffs are suing defendant/ co-worker/roommate for unpaid rent and car damage.   Plaintiffs, and defendant worked together, and when defendant became homeless they offered him the couch for $150 a week.     Defendant was in home for five weeks.  ($600 a month to sleep on the couch!)  Defendant borrowed plaintiff's car, and plaintiff said she didn't notice the vehicle damage until after defendant moved out.   Plaintiffs will not get vehicle damages.    

Back rent is $100, to plaintiffs.       However, plaintiff woman should ashamed at posting her nasty rants on social media.   

Ex Gets Short End of the Lizard Stick-Plaintiff suing her ex-boyfriend for lizard support, a false restraining order, and expenses.    They lived together at his mother's house, he moved out two years ago, and left their two dogs, and the six lizards behind, but visits the animals occasionally.    Plaintiff took care of the defendant's mother, and all of the animals.   Plaintiff pays the rent since defendant moved out.   JJ has plaintiff sign over title to defendant's old vehicle (to get her liability for the vehicle canceled).     Plaintiff will keep the dogs, and if defendant doesn't pick up his lizards in the number of days JJ specified, they will be going to lizard jail.   There is no contract for pet care.   

Defendant says he visited his late mother (I'm guessing from the photo of the woman on his lapel, she has died), often, but plaintiff says he came to visit less than once a month.     Defendant says plaintiff tried for a false restraining order, and his property is messed up or missing.    Plaintiff keeps the dogs.   

Plaintiff filed for a restraining order, and says defendant threatened her (it was only posted on his social media, but didn't mention plaintiff's name), and stalked her after the mother died.  (As they say where I live, the defendant just ain't right in the head.  If the plaintiff is smart she moved far away from where he lives)

Cases dismissed. 

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Defamation Travesty-Plaintiff (tow company operator) suing for defamation.    Defendant's roommate posted that the tow operator has a long criminal history, is a thief, and has a long criminal history.   Defendant circle a couple of paragraphs that are probably off some internet message board (no not a reputable, accurate board like this one), and there is no proof of a criminal history.   The roommate of defendant is dismissed from the case.   $5,000 to plaintiff.   

Defendant son is suing for $347 for towing, and alleges that he was illegally towed.    Defendant son parked in an apartment parking lot, and claims there's nothing saying no parking.    Plaintiff has parking lot pictures, showing you need a visitor's pass, and permit only,   There is a sign saying no parking without permit, or visitors pass.   

$5,000 to plaintiff.    Defendant case dismissed.    

Explicit Text Photos Cause Crash-Plaintiff suing defendant for car damages.   Plaintiff's car was parked, when defendant hit plaintiff's car.    Defendant was driving his leased car, but insurance was in girlfriend's name, and his insurance wasn't effective until the next month anyway.  Accident was in February, but insurance wasn't starting until March.   

Plaintiff found out about accident by defendant texting him.   Defendant's text says he was drinking, and some girl sent him a picture of her private parts, and that's when he hit the plaintiff's car.   Defendant says the drinking remark was just a joke, he didn't hit the car, but he checked with his girlfriend's insurance company to see if he was covered for the accident. Defendant claims plaintiff hit his car.     

$1124 to plaintiff, defendant case dismissed. 

Second-

Gun Owner Lets Man Rot in Jail-Plaintiff was in jail for 8 years, and is suing former landlord for return of rent, and property.  As a convicted felon, plaintiff could not be around guns, and was arrested for felon in possession.    The gun was the defendant's, and she waited days to tell police it was actually her gun, and plaintiff didn't know it was there.    Plaintiff lied about being convicted of a crime, on the application, but a lot of other things weren't listed on application either.   (The police were doing their job, searching a parolee's place, and had no way of knowing that Annie Oakley had an arsenal laying around.  Convicted felons are not allowed to live, or even be around firearms). 

Defendant accepted $4,171 for six months rent in advance, a month later police did a parole search, and found defendant's handgun registered to defendant.   Plaintiff was arrested, and a few days later plaintiff's sister called the defendant and told her why plaintiff was arrested.  Defendant has quite a collection laying around her house too.   Instead of calling police, defendant finally talked to the parole officer, and finally told him about the registration, and that she owned the gun.     Defendant evicted man, kept the rent for the remaining five months he prepaid.   

Plaintiff gets $5,000, and defendant gets what she deserves, nothing.   

Car Smashing Mania-Plaintiff suing for car payments, DMV fees, harassment, etc over a car sale (2006 Honda Accord) for $4,000.   Down payment $300, and $200 per month until paid in full.   Plaintiff had full coverage on the car, but defendant didn't like the amount the plaintiff had on car.   Contract says liability is responsibility of plaintiff, and that would have no legal liability for accidents, or damage.   Defendant is proud of the fact she smashed the windows of the car on the plaintiff's property, before she repossessed it. 

$1630 to plaintiff, defendant gets nothing.

How was this a civil case and not a criminal one? JFC that Defendant was a psycho.

And then she complains that she has to get the windows fixed so that she can sell the car - lady, you did that!

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2015-2016-

First-

Outrageous Business Practices-Plaintiff suing former tenants for breaking their lease, and property damage.   Former tenants claim they paid in cash, and security in money orders, and have no receipts.    Like all professional squatters, the defendant went to housing court.  The housing court talks mostly about the defendants' dogs, not rent.     

Tenants didn't pay the last two months rent, so security is gone.    And they still owe plaintiff for another month's rent.   Defendant wife has a checking account, but they paid bills in cash, and money orders.    Plaintiff gives photos of the huge amount of junk, and trash, and damages.    Defendants claim to have two small dogs, and plaintiff said that's not the number and size of dogs that they had. 

Plaintiff says defendants used false names on the applications.  Defendants filed a claim with plaintiff's insurance company under the fake names, after they moved out too.   

Plaintiff receives $1200 rent.  

Chickens Rule the Roost-Plaintiffs suing former tenant for property damage, and rent.   Plaintiff claims the tenant of four years owes for utilities, rent, and damages caused by her multitude of chickens.     Defendant cut the garage window screen out, to let the chickens go from the inside of the garage, where the coop was, and out to the yard.   (I agree with the plaintiffs, chicken poop stinks a lot, and the damages from them is not a joke, except to JJ).   

Plaintiff receives $584.   

Second-

Elder Abuse?!-Plaintiff sold a parcel of land to defendant (they're both neighbors) to add to the defendant's property.   Plaintiff wants money for a fence, restraining order, and an assault.   Property was $3,000 and they would split privacy fence dividing the property ($700) more.  Plaintiff didn't put the fence issue in his case in JJ's court, just in the local court case.       After fence was built, the defendant wanted to paint it red to match defendant's house.     Plaintiff wanted a neutral color, and they were going to discuss it.   The next day defendant painted his side of the fence red, but did not paint the plaintiff's side.    The fence was built entirely on plaintiff's property, and defendant trespassed to paint the fence. 

JJ refuses to see that trespassing on plaintiff's property, and painting a fence entirely on his property is an issue.   

Plaintiff also says when they discussed the fence issue, he went to defendant's house, and plaintiff threw a soda can, and hit him.    JJ doesn't believe the assault claim, but I do.   I think the plaintiff's aborted attempt to get the defendant's past crimes is is interesting.    

JJ will give plaintiff nothing.   The defendant is sitting there enjoying everything JJ says.  Nothing to defendant either.   (By the way, apparently defendant is deceased in 2018). 

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, first one new, second one a recent rerun-

First (New)-

Teenager Cusses Out Slow Senior-Plaintiff idiot teen, and his mommy are suing a neighbor for punching whiny brat's car. This was after the rotten brat cussed out an elderly widow for driving too slowly, and the bystander intervened.   Mommy came to court with her son, and claims she didn't know about the cussing, until court.  (What the hell is up with plaintiff brat's eyebrows? )     Brat was driving, was mad about the slow driving of an elderly widow, on a dark, rainy day.   So he was revving his engine, instead of honking.   Other driver tried to pull over so plaintiff could pass.   Brat started to pull around the car, and defendant, and another person were walking in the street.   (As jj points out, how could plaintiff see the pedestrians over the much taller car in front from a Mazda Miata?)  Plaintiff almost hit the pedestrians (who have the right of way).  Then plaintiff yelled at pedestrian to "Go F*** Himself".     Defendant says plaintiff brat told the two women the same thing.  

Two pedestrians yelled at plaintiff, and then defendant punched the plaintiff's car.    PLaintiff claims revving the engine and other harassment was "Freedom of speech".   The video show the plaintiff acting like a raging a&$&$&&.     (Driver is a 79 year old widow, pulling over to give a neighbor a ride, and neighbor was getting in the car).    (The man behind the plaintiff brat is really enjoying this case).    The plaintiff's mother claims to be upset about brat's behavior, but she really isn't.   (Brat is lucky that someone didn't punch his lights out). 

$100 for plaintiff.

 Locked Out and Fired Up-Plaintiff suing former landlord for return of rent, security deposit, lost wages, and hotel costs.    Plaintiff moved into room at defendant's apartment (She stayed two months) .   Security was $500, and defendant kept that amount for replacing locks.   Defendant claims she was locked out by inside lock, so she called a locksmith to get her into the apartment.   Plaintiff claims when defendant called her, she looked and the inside lock was open.    Locksmith couldn't reach the inside lock, and so defendant slept in her car .  

Defendant is counter suing for return of a key fob, and lost wages.    (Why is the defendant yelling?)   Defendant gets the $355 for the locksmith, from the security deposit. 

$145 to plaintiff.   Defendant gets key fob back.      

Second (Rerun)-

Pepper Spraying Parent Catastrophe-Plaintiff, and his mom are suing ex-girlfriend SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Three, only two are plaintiff's ) for bail cost for plaintiff ($4800)posted by mom, and slashed tire.  They have a 2 and 6 year old together.    The two litigants had an argument over her cheating.     Defendant was drinking, they argued again.   The argument escalated.    (JJ's darker hair looks too dark). (I bet defendant had a whole lot more than one drink)   Then defendant slashed the plaintiff's tires.   

The poor kids woke up from the argument.    Then plaintiff went to take kids to his sister's house, because he says defendant was drunk.      Next morning, he got into his other vehicle, to take the kids to his sister's house for babysitting.    Then defendant climbed into the Yukon with plaintiff and three kids, pepper sprayed him, and he wiped the spray into her face.  Two older kids got out of the car, but the youngest daughter got hit with the pepper spray too.   The litigants have finally broken up, and she has full custody of both kids.   (I'm assuming the court only lets him visit the child that's his biological child).   

Defendant claims she was cleaning the kid's birth certificate and other documents out of the car.   Defendant claims man attacked her in the Yukon, and she pulled out the pepper spray, and hit the man with it, and that's when the plaintiff wiped the pepper spray off of his face, and on hers.  Defendant claims plaintiff pushed her, and she hit the daughter when she fell.   Defendant claims plaintiff was kidnapping her kids.. 

I think the defendant is a total fake, drama queen. 

Plaintiff left for his mother's house, came back with the Mother to get clothes, and the police arrested plaintiff, but charges were dropped.   No medical records of assault, but it was all her fault for spraying the pepper spray.  

Plaintiff was arrested, and it cost his mother $4800 for bail.  Everything dismissed.   I feel sorry for the kids, not the parents. 

 

(The new episodes this week are the first episodes on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday  The first episode this Friday is another Pit Bull case, so be prepared for gore, and the sad Grandpa letter).

Teenager Cusses Out Slow Senior-

JJ was quite correct in calling the young driver a spoiled brat, but she was much too soft on the self-righteous old bully who slapped his car. He obviously fancies himself as a modern-day Galahad tasked with protecting vulnerable ladies on his street and believes he is on a mission from God when he goes about putting up Christmas decorations in his neighbourhood. From what I heard, he gave as good as he got in the recorded verbal exchange.

As much as being young and inexperienced is no excuse for cursing and revving up you car to send a message, being old and a woman is no reason either to drive at a crawl and block traffic on a public street. And since when does walking in the middle of the street give pedestrians the righ of way?

I had a colleague once who owned a Myata and the way he talked about it they cost a lot to repair and maintain. The 100 $ award by JJ was ridiculous and unfair.

She got stuck on the fact that he got the car well below its book value; it was in poor shape according to what we heard and he put in a lot of work to bring it up to par. But true to her habit, she did not credit him with the added value of his work. Which means that if the car had been totaled or damaged more extensively for some reason, she would never have made the plaintiff "whole" since she would only award the price he paid, not the increased value.

I agree with this.  P was a young shit; D was an older shit, given the video we saw.  And it wasn't as if the driver was driving slowly to be careful, she was stopped in the middle of the roadway to pick someone up and didn't even move over to pick her up until the pearl-clutching rev of an engine took place.  I think the driver was inconsiderate to begin with but there were better ways to deal with it (that hopefully the P will learn in time).  I think he got less than he should have and I feel like often, JJ just ignores the young Ps because of the whole 'they're lying if their lips are moving!'.

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016 or so-

First-

Dangerous Football League-Plaintiff coaches a team in youth football, entered a tournament, and found his kids weren't as experienced.  Plaintiff is suing for return of entry fees, gate, and attorney's fees.    Plaintiff claims the other teams that beat his kids were a huge mismatch.   Plaintiff's team lost twice, including one kid getting a concussion.  

Case dismissed. 

Property Brothers They are Not-Plaintiffs suing former tenant for stealing appliances from their rental home. Plaintiffs wanted to get into real estate investments, and this was their first house, and they now have two houses.    Plaintiffs bought the house, with the defendant, and three other tenants already in place.    Then plaintiffs found out that they could get $1800 a month rent, instead of the current $1200 a month.   They sent a notice that new lease would be $1800, then after not paying that, plaintiff moved to evict tenants for non-payment.   Housing court mediation gave the tenants 20 more days to move out, now 10 months later the squatters are still there.  

Everyone moved out except defendant (last of four tenants), defendant put appliances out on the front lawn for the trash pick up, and the next morning they were gone.   Defendant claims plaintiff told his nephew to get rid of appliances.   Tenants were all finally evicted.  Defendant claims he cleaned the house out, but plaintiff's claim the basement, and house was packed with garbage.  

Plaintiffs say it cost $40,000 to get house repaired, and replace everything the tenants sold or stole.   

Case dismissed (plaintiffs wanted 10 year old fridge, and other old appliances replaced). 

Second-

The Danger of Dog Parks-Plaintiff suing defendant over a dog injury at a dog park.  Plaintiff says defendant's dog bit her dog.   Defendant says he thinks injury was from his dog's sharp collar or some other foreign object, and wasn't his fault.  Vet report doesn't have a statement, just what procedures they're going to do.   Defendant also says Greyhounds have thin skin, and Dr. Google agrees.    JJ agrees that dog parks are a free for all, unless you're taking a vicious animal there, and dogs will be dogs. 

Case dismissed

Study Abroad Misfire-Plaintiff suing defendant for not paying for a car lease that defendant took over for plaintiff, when plaintiff moved overseas.    Defendant was supposed to pay $290 for nine months, but stopped paying half way through the period.  Plaintiff raised the contract amount after a few months, because of excess mileage, changing the contract.   A month or so later, plaintiff notified the leasing company to repossess the car.   

Defendant is counter claiming for her clothes, her kid's clothes, and other items, and says for a period they were living in the car.  Plaintiff bought the car off of the lease, because it was cheaper than paying the overages, and for damages. 

Car was repossessed by plaintiff from in front of a homeless shelter (that's a first for me).  In hall-terview defendant says she was not given notice about the pending repossession, but she's lying. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed. 

Friends Don't Let Friends Borrow Money-Plaintiff suing defendant for an unpaid loan.   Defendant needed money for a utility deposit, is unemployed, with three children (lives off of her child support, and son's disability checks).   As usual, defendant claims it was a gift. 

Plaintiff took out a cash advance for $500, plus fees.    Plaintiff receives $561.  (Defendant's witnesses should have been booted, for their commentary trying to coach the defendant). (Hall-terview with defendant states that she paid the utility deposit with the loan, and her friend's court fees).

==========

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Reasons You Should Live With Your Mother-Plaintiff suing her former boyfriend for a loan to buy a truck, car insurance and the return of stolen tools.    The litigants lived together at an apartment, and then her mother's house, from 2017-2019.     Plaintiff paid his car insurance.   Plaintiff received an insurance rebate check, and plaintiff loaned money to defendant to buy a truck ($1100).    Defendant says the $1100 wasn't a loan, but a down payment on a future income.     JJ asks defendant if he's on drugs, and he says no.   

Money wasn't put down on truck, but spent on random spending. his car payments.    When defendant left, he took a lot of tools, and they were purchased by plaintiff before they were a couple.     Defendant is either stoned, or whacko, or both.   Plaintiff submits invoices for the tools.   

$1200 to plaintiff, and I hope she found someone better than the loser defendant.   

Hotel Tinder Date Fail-Plaintiff suing his Tinder date for two cell phones, hotel charges, and damages.   They couldn't meet at home, so they met at a motel.    They met at 12:30 in the afternoon, went to the room. Plaintiff says he paid defendant $80 for the room, which she denies.  (JJ says she'll read the plaintiff's statement so the adorable Officer Byrd won't have to make the effort to walk to and from the plaintiff's desk, because Byrd had a birthday, and he's getting older.    Plaintiff couldn't find his phone, so he called it, but it was on vibrate, so he couldn't find it.   

Who would think that someone you only meet one time for boinking will be nutso?    The answer is anyone with a brain.   

Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant claim dismissed.  

Second-

Wedding Dress Distress-(the case where the plaintiff designer/seamstress did the wedding dress, and is wearing what looks like a bunch of black garbage bags made into a dress, including a huge bow for court)-

Plaintiff actually was on a local TV news program in a modified dress to claim it's very ugly, but  it was after plaintiff changed it from the original.    The defendant has a picture of the dress when it was finished, and the plaintiff removed the nice touches.  It looked awful when she claimed on TV the dress was nothing like she ordered.     Plaintiff paid less for the dress when she picked it up because it was not totally finished.   $490 was owed, and she paid $300.     Designer says the plaintiff and mother caused a big scene at pick up.      This is a completed contract at the reduced price, because plaintiff took the dress, and she will be getting money.

Apparently, it's one of the wedding dress, and reception dress requiring  two dresses situation.     Defendant says the dress was ripped apart, posted on social media slamming the designer, and went on the local TV news show.   

The designer picture is lovely, and the plaintiff's picture after she took the dress apart was hideous.    By the way, cramming too much person into a satin dress is a bad idea, and too tight satin shows every lump and bump.   The seamstress plaintiff hired to 'fix' the dress took the beady piece off of the dress, and put it on the wedding dress, but it's still fraud, 

Plaintiff gets nothing, and defendant gets $2500.

Pregnant and Panicked!-Plaintiff suing family friend for unpaid loans.     When defendant's hours were cut back, she couldn't pay her insurance ($280).    Defendant claims the plaintiff wanted her policy number, to pay her insurance.     

Defendant backed into a neighbor's vehicle, and then left the scene.    She also claims that when she had the accident she panicked, and left, parked the car at Brake Master's, and plaintiff paid that bill too.   The accident cost plaintiff $500, then loaned her another $200, equaling $980.      

$780 for the plaintiff, no proof of the extra $200.     I wonder if the neighbor saw this, and figured out who whacked their car and left?   I hope so.

Did anyone get a screenshot of the defendant?  She was wearing taffeta and lace, I think.

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably around 2016-

First-

Horse Tragedy in Unsafe Stables-Plaintiff suing defendant over injury to a horse at her boarding stable, plus boarding fees, ransom for the horse.   Defendant runs a boarding stable, and plaintiff now claims defendant didn't have a license to run a boarding stable.  Defendant told plaintiff about the injury, called a vet, but plaintiff owed the vet money for over six months past due, and vet would only come out to see horse if plaintiff payed the money.     Plaintiff says she owed vet $248, and for over six months past due, and defendant says it was owed for over a year, and was almost $1,000.     Defendant says plaintiff was supposed to move her horse, but didn't move horse on time, and didn't pay the last month ($325) before the injury (horse had been at the barn since 2013).   

(The barn owner said that the horse owner barely paid for board, sometimes didn't pay, never visited the horse, and stiffed the vet on a $1000, so she was a bad horse owner. I bet whoever boards the horse now watched this and cried, knowing they're going to get ripped off too)

Defendant couldn't get a hold of plaintiff, and per contract she called the vet of record, who refused to come out without the past due payment being paid.  When she picked up horse plaintiff had to pay $1584 for past due bills.    Plaintiff has a nasty smirk every time JJ knocks something off the bill, but sorry it says in the contract what the defendant will charge for.

  $1141 to plaintiff (wrong JJ, the stable owner should have received $5,000).   

JJ should never do horse cases, she doesn't understand that horses require regular vet, farrier, feed, and other care.    

Barter Fail-Plaintiffs suing defendant for money owed for a truck ($3400).   $8450 is the value of a 1982 Chevy Silverado (some other models with special packages were almost twice that).     Plaintiffs sold truck to man, and gave him the title.  Cash payment was supposed to be $1200. with defendant doing work for them, for $4700 more.       Defendant performed some work, but didn't finish.    

Plaintiffs get $3400.

Second-

Felon Gets Hustled-Plaintiff loaned $4800 to defendant/ex girlfriend, so she could move into a house.  Plaintiff is suing for loan, lost wages, and some other stuff.   Plaintiff took a loan out with horribly high interest rates, so original loan was $2600 or so, and with interest is now almost $4,000 (If paid in total the interest plus loan will be $12539-usurious interest).      Defendant took the loan, never paid anything back, and her excuse is she had bad credit from a divorce, and couldn't get a loan.   Defendant was trying to buy a house, and needed $4800, with her $2,000 in savings on a lease to buy.   Defendant never bought the house, and is still renting the home for $1400 a month.    This house in L.A., so how can you start to buy anything in L.A. for $4800.  

Defendant also says she found out plaintiff is a convicted felon, so she didn't pay him back.     Defendant lied about when she needed the money for the rental, the amount needed, and never paid back the money.     Plaintiff says the relationship with defendant wasn't intimate, but it was just a booty call situation.  

Plaintiff receives $0, Defendant claims she's paying on the loan. 

Intoxicated Roommate Woes-Plaintiff suing ex-roommate for return of rent, and deposit.     Plaintiff rented a room at defendant's place for $600 a month.   Plaintiff claims he paid first, last month, and security, totaling $1800.    Defendant claims plaintiff is a drunk, and disturbed the house.   There is no written lease specifying behavior or noise, so the eviction was illegal.   

Defendant is a circus acrobat.   Is this our first circus acrobat litigant? 

 Defendant heard a loud bang from plaintiff's room, claims he was drunk,    Defendant told plaintiff to leave the house. 

$ 900, for half a month's rent, and security, to plaintiff.

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, first one new, second one a recent rerun-

First (New)-

Don't Cosign With Your Idiot Boyfriend-Plaintiff cosigned for the boyfriend's car the month they moved in together.   Actually, it isn't even a cosign, because boyfriend's name isn't on the loan.   Defendant has kids, plaintiff doesn't.    Plaintiff is basically bankrupt.   

Plaintiff took her father's car with her when she moved out of her parent's house, and in with defendant.   Defendant traded in his truck (for $800), and wanted a new vehicle for him.   Plaintiff's family now pays her rent, and she lives with the roommates that were there when deadbeat boyfriend lived there.    

Car was repo'd in January 2020, and only plaintiff was on the loan.   Defendant was only on the insurance for the car he drove.  PLaintiff is still whining that defendant is responsible for the car, but he's not.    JJ thinks plaintiff is an idiot, and she is.   As JJ points out, the woman is on the loan, registration, and could have gone to the police to get the car back, and resell it.   

On the video of the fight in front of the LAPD officer that had to deal with the two fools, plaintiff acts like a dirty mouthed psycho, and so does the loser boyfriend.  The litigants still lived together for months after the video.    $23,000 is still on the loan, that plaintiff is responsible for.  (I would like to slap both litigants until they cry like the spoiled brats they are). 

Plaintiff receives nothing, and is told to take this to another court that has a higher limit, where she will be told she's getting nothing. 

Canadians, Defamation and a Mexican Holiday-(I would like to thank the episode caption writer, this is the most bizarre case title I've ever read for JJ, or any other show)-Defendant owns a vacation condo in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.   Plaintiff rented the condo for three months, through a direct contract with defendant.    Plaintiff told defendant he's cancelling the rental, and wanted all but a couple of weeks of the deposit back, so his parents could stay there for two weeks.   Plaintiff received reduced rent because of the three month term.   JJ says there was a legitimate contract, with offer, acceptance, consideration, and contract completed.     Defendant said that he needed to send his deposit that day, because if he wasn't going to do the 3 month rental, and deposit, she would rent to some Canadian guests instead.    

Defendant was only able to re-rent the condo part of the 3 months.   Plaintiff wanted his $2,000 deposit back, his airline tickets, attorney fees, and everything else he could think of.   What a nasty person the plaintiff is.    When defendant refused to knuckle under to the extortion by plaintiff, he posted nasty reviews all over the internet rental sites.  Defendant is countersuing for defamation of character, and loss of rental income.   Defendant say during the time of the contracted rental, there were two full weeks of vacancies.   

Plaintiff receives $2,000 (defendant made same amount of rental money from other tenants).   

Second (Rerun)-

 Pet Sitter Kills Dog-Plaintiff suing for the death of her dog, when she was in the care of a pet sitter.  Plaintiff was on a European cruise, and sitter was supposed to be living at plaintiff's house, and caring for the dogs.  

 Dog sitter was recommended by the woman's vet, and I hope she told the vet what an idiot she is, and what happened.   Defendant is a so-called animal activist, who is apparently drunk or stoned, and probably always is, was supposed to stay at a woman's house, take care of her four dogs, and took the dogs back to her home instead.    Plaintiff agree to pay $750, with $400 down, and was going to give defendant $1,000 total. 

The 'animal activist' part confuses me, or is the pet sitter, really one of those animal activists that thinks all pets should be allowed to run free in the wild, to get hit by cars and starve?     One dog dug out from under the fence, and got hit by a car.     

The pet sitter won't shut the hell up, and keeps talking over Judge Judy.     Defendant claims harassment, stalking by plaintiff sitting in front of her place of employment, and made reports to CPS about some kids, not hers (no, I don't understand this either).     I guess the idiot pet sitter is a nanny or something.        Defendant also sent text messages to plaintiff saying she's glad the dog died, and her other dogs should die too.  Defendant claims plaintiff saw pictures of plaintiff's dog at defendant's house.   However, dog was unsupervised long enough to get run over.   Defendant claims plaintiff's sister and daughter sent death threats to her.   Defendant claims both litigants were great friends after plaintiff came home.  

Byrd clearly wanted to beat the defendant into a bloody pulp, and if it wasn't a ratings sweeps month I'm sure the defendant Cruella Deville would have been booted out long before the end of the case.     

Plaintiff gets $1,500.

You're an Idiot for Helping Someone in Need-Idiot plaintiff leases a Honda for the defendant.   Defendant has a long history of getting cars repossessed, and that makes the plaintiff stupid.     Defendant claims she was giving rides to plaintiff, etc. , and defendant didn't have enough money for lease.    Plaintiff had car registered, in her name, and defendant is named on the insurance.     Plaintiff also had full insurance on the vehicle, which was her only smart move. 

 Plaintiff is whining because the defendant owes for at least one unpaid parking ticket (P.'s getting that), excess mileage  (P.'s not getting that, since she can't prove who did the mileage), and wants the defendant to pay what she agreed to.     The defendant has a weird little top bun.     (Yes, plaintiff was an idiot for leasing the car for defendant, and for whatever that eye makeup she's wearing is supposed to be.    That eye makeup is hideous). 

Defendant had a limit of 12,000 miles a year, but put 22,000 miles on the car instead.  I don't even want to know how much the extra 10,000 miles will cost. 

Defendant still doesn't think that a person who doesn't pay their bills is a bad risk, and plaintiff had a DUI after this all happened too. 

The plaintiff only gets $84 for the traffic ticket, and nothing else. 

 

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016-2017 -

First-

Time Share Fiasco-Woman suing her daughter's ex-boyfriend for failing to repay her for a failed time-share vacation.   Daughter wanted to take boyfriend, and use the plaintiff's/parent's time share in Las Vegas, and then the couple broke up.   Plaintiff Mom wants the airline ticket for ex paid back.     

Defendant said he wanted to go to Florida, and didn't know about the time share in Vegas.  (Daughter was adopted at 19, so she never went on vacations to the time shares, or any where before this).    Then couple broke up, and plaintiff wants time share change fee, and airline ticket.    The payments, airline, points, and everything is very confusing.   Plaintiff claims defendant would be repaid for airline, and booking fees.   Defendant took out a loan right before this, and it was to consolidate debt but not specific details of the trip.     

Plaintiff receives $220.   

Bad Luck Car Sale-Plaintiff suing unlicensed car buyer for towing fees, (both litigants are not related, but have the same last name), tickets, and impound fees.       Down payment was $800, and pay $215 a month.   

Defendant was driving the car, and three weeks later was pulled over by police.  Defendant had no license, and car was impounded.     Car was still titled to plaintiff, so only he could get it out of impound.    Defendant wanted plaintiff to sign pink slip, so he could get the car registered/titled, and get his license, so he could get the car out of impound.  Another issue is there was a 30-day hold on the impound. 

Plaintiff tried to get the car out of impound, but he couldn't with the 30 day hold, and the $3,000+ storage fees for an $1,800 car.   The impound lot said they would only release the car earlier than 30 days, if the plaintiff/owner said it was stolen.     

$3800 to plaintiff.  

Second-

Where's the Ring?-Plaintiff suing former fiance for the return of tools, a basketball hoop (or goal?), and an engagement ring.   The two lived together, with her children, for over two years.   Defendant owns a deli/grocery, and plaintiff worked there and they lived above it.   Mostly we're talking about the ring, and defendant says she has no idea where the ring is, and claims man took the ring with him.    Defendant said they never got around to getting married.   Plaintiff says he did not take the ring, and says def. is a liar.   Plaintiff says the defendant claimed to be divorced, but is still married.   

JJ dismisses plaintiff case, because she can't even get the man to answer simple questions about payments for rent, etc.   

Case dismissed, counter claim dismissed. (Hallterview is hysterical, plaintiff claims defendant is still married to someone else.  Plaintiff says defendant belongs on the Lifetime channel, and he appreciates she didn't kill him when the relationship ended.)

The Case of the Missing Car-Plaintiff suing defendant/mechanic for losing her car, that she bought from him.   Plaintiff had defendant fix car body damages.  Plaintiff paid $5,000 (book value is $3525) for car, because of rims.   Plaintiff has no proof of paying mechanic for car.

Mechanic says car disappeared from outside his shop, and thinks plaintiff had something to do with it.   JJ also asks defendant if he's on drugs, and he admits he had a drug problem, but was getting help during the summer all of his happened.     Police report says value of car was $3,000 per plaintiff/owner.    Keeping car safe was defendant's responsibility.   JJ thinks defendant sold car for drugs.   

$3540 for plaintiff

Totaled Friendship-Plaintiff suing former friend for wrecking her car.   Defendant had driven the car several times before the accident.     Defendant borrowed plaintiff's car in rainy weather, slid off of the road, and claims nothing was her fault.  She's blaming the car, and car was defective. 

Plaintiff bought car for $1,000, and gets that amount.  

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, first one new, second one a recent rerun-

First (New)-

Child Removed From Drunk Parents-Plaintiff suing defendant for taking his truck without permission, and wrecking it.     Defendant is alleged to have had a big physical fight, and wife was beaten up (witness is defendant's wife), while they were both drunk.    The 9 year old daughter of defendant was scared by the parents fighting.    Plaintiff was called to come over to the house, and the child's aunt came over and took child to safety.    Plaintiff took female defendant to his home, and a friend took her to safety from there.   Defendant's wife claims defendant male didn't beat her up. 

Male defendant took plaintiff's truck (yes, defendant was very drunk), and when it ran out of gas, police stopped and gave him a ride to the gas station.   Defendant drove a few more miles, and truck broke down.   Police found truck, and there is no police report, and truck was scrapped.

Case dismissed, because it's stupid, and so are all of the litigants.  

34-Year-Old Brat Beat Down-Plaintiff suing former landlord, for return of belongings she withheld, after she locked him out.    Plaintiff brought his mommy to court, yes, he's 34 years old.     Plaintiff paid security, and moved in a week early at defendant's home.   The plaintiff saw defendant's father was sleeping over on the couch, and plaintiff and the dad had a fight.   Plaintiff left his shoes in the common area, and father put them outside of plaintiff's door, and he almost tripped over them.   So plaintiff stuck the shoes in the living room.    A passive-aggressive brat of a plaintiff. 

Plaintiff's mother seems to think her 34 year old brat is cute, and she's wrong.  Defendant realized this roommate situation wasn't working out so she locked his door, and put a note on his door telling him to find other accommodations.     A month later plaintiff returned to get his stuff back, but would have to pay rent for October (had paid through September already).    Plaintiff never paid for October, and now we fast forward to February, and then to this case.   Plaintiff's junk is in the room, some in a shed she owns, and he needs to pay the rent through February to get his stuff.   

Defendant rented room in January, so plaintiff just has to pay for October, November, and December.   (Roommate for one month slept in the plaintiff's abandoned bed-Ick!!!).   

$450 rent to defendant, and plaintiff gets his junk back.  

Second (Rerun)-

You Made It Awkward!  You Pay for It-Plaintiff suing for breach of lease, damages, and late fees.   Plaintiff, plaintiff witness, and defendant moved into the same apartment.   Plaintiff witness, and defendant were in a dating relationship, then broke up.    Defendant moved out four months before lease ended.    

Defendant says even after the break up, plaintiff and plaintiff's witness were still friendly, and witness would let himself into the apartment with his key, even after witness moved out.   Defendant had a new boyfriend, and eventually told plaintiff she didn't want plaintiff witness in the apartment.  Defendant claims ex was harassing her, texting her, and apparently, looking at her funny.   Defendant's mommy is her witness, and thinks her daughter is so right, and mommy is wrong.   

Defendant wanted to change the locks to keep the ex out.    To get plaintiff off the lease, defendant would have to find a co-signer (probably mommy).   Defendant didn't show up for her ex parte restraining order.    Defendant's mommy just has to stick her nose in the situation.     Defendant is trying to stick plaintiff with her portion of four months rent.  

Plaintiff receives the defendant's half of the rent for four months, $1600.     Defendant's stupid counter claim for emotional distress is dismissed, because it's stupid. 

I am Not My Adult Son's Keeper-Plaintiff suing her son, and his ex-wife for a loan to pay off credit card debt.  Loan was made after the divorce was filed, to pay off the credit card bills of the couple.    Ex-daughter-in-law isn't a party to the loan.    Plaintiff says money for attorney to son was a gift ($2800).    Then son asked mother for a loan, $689 for his house payment, then a couple of weeks later, she loaned him $4800 for credit cards by check.   

Plaintiff saw the JJ show, and called the show directly to file the case.    She never filed locally in small claims.   My guess, plaintiff filed just to get money from the show, and she never filed locally, because son would have to actually pay a judgment.   

Plaintiff sent back to file in local small claims court, which will never happen.   Bet if plaintiff files, it will be against ex daughter-in-law.

Plaintiff sent back to file in local small claims court, which will never happen.   Bet if plaintiff files, it will be against ex daughter-in-law.  

If Ms. Davis files in small claims court and names the former daughter-in-law in the suit, the daughter-in-law's portion of the suit  will have been  a waste of time and of a filing fee.  Unless Ms. Davis drastically changes her story, the daughter-in-law still will not have been a party to the loan. The same principle applies in virtually any U.S. jurisdiction. The son (Welch?), had the two been shacking up and not legally married (they were married, weren't they?), could then have attempted to cut his losses by then suing the ex in civil court for her contribution to the debt necessitating (???) the loan. If the two were legally married and then divorced, however, the dissolution/division of joint marital property and assets/debts would have been final, and Welch would not then be able to petition another court to reopen and renegotiate it.

I got the idea that JJ felt that, whether she believed any money transfer between the parties  was a loan and not a gift or if she believed there was never any actual money transfer,, the case was fraudulent. She expressed more interested than I've ever seen her express in regard to why the suit was never filed in small claims court.  

I understand why JJ asked, and if I had the same financial stake she has (I don't know if she actually owns the financial company or has a large stake; someone else here probably knows far more about that than I do), I, too, would be concerned, but if she wants to be certain that she's getting a  legitimate  case as opposed to a manufactured "dispute" after which the plaintiff and defendant have agreed to split the proceeds, she she would be much safer in taking only cases for which small claims courts suits have actually been filed. 

JJ's staff is probably fairly skilled at vetting out the phony cases, but every now and then, an apparently bogus case makes it into the courtroom, which might very well have happened with this case.  It doesn't seem to happen so often  with the other shows. I would guess that the difference is that the other court shows cut  such cases off or don't air them and perhaps go after the phony litigants for production costs. Once JJ's production staff begins filming, it seems that we see the case for better or for worse, though JJ seems to cut those cases as short as is humanly possible, either making an extremely fast decision or dismissing without prejudice and sending the case to [back] small claims  court.

Remember that case with the young woman named Kate who had a cat that was supposedly killed when the musician roommates started throwing TVs around the living room, with one of the TVs supposedly landing on and killing the cat? That one seemed clearly to have been  a hoax that fooled  the production staff. JJ  was in such a mad rush to get those litigants out of her courtroom that she didn't even take the time to throw out the witness who called her mama.  I wouldn't have wanted to be the onne who let that case get before the cameras. I wouldn't be surprised if the responsible staff member got the ax.  It  was one of my favorite cases, though. Those young people were hysterical.

Housekeeper Steals Customers-Plaintiff cleaning service owner suing former employee for soliciting clients away from her business.   Defendant was hired with a contract, to do cleaning services, and contract said no stealing clients.   One of the ex-clients, and present client of defendant is the witness.     

I considered JJ's decision on this case to be controversial, not the one about the website design services.  Client asked the housecleaner when she would be back to clean, and the cleaner replied she would no longer be working for The Company.  Client was dismayed and expressed a desire to keep her services; she trusted the cleaner, she was reliable, she did good work.  Cleaner told the client she was starting her own business.  Judy ruled this was solicitation on the part of the cleaner, but I disagree.  The cleaner didn't volunteer this information until she was asked.  What was she supposed to say when the client asked her about her future work?  All I could imagine was a ridiculous game of charades between the housecleaner and the client  until the truth came out.

Yes, all I could think of was, "Hefty, hefty hefty!"

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016-2017-

First-

Immigrant Battle-Plaintiff/Australian suing defendant/ South African over a physical fight.   Plaintiff is suing for harassment, and defendant disposing of his boat cover.   Boat cover was custom made, but used, and hard to replace.   Defendant says landlord hired (landlord is plaintiff's witness) him to clean up the rented lot, and he threw out a moldy tarp.  Defendant rented one lot from plaintiff landlord.   Landlord says defendant does clean up property for him occasionally, but hadn't hired man to clean this time.   Defendant's witness gets booted.   

Defendant was mowing both properties, on the landlord's lawnmower, and claims plaintiff attacked him.  Police report says the same thing, defendant was mowing and was pushed off of the lawn mower by plaintiff.   Plaintiff says he defendant was yelling, and cursing at plaintiff.   Plaintiff says he never hurt the defendant man.

Plaintiff gets $150 to buy a boat cover (it won't be custom, but the other one was used)   

I Smell Pot-Plaintiff suing former employer for unpaid wages, and storage fees.     Plaintiff wanted screen printing machine moved to a storage unit.    Plaintiff agreed to pay $75, but says it was in $35 cash, and a bag of weed.  Defendant says he was paid $35 up front cash, and defendant says he is owed $40 by plaintiff.  

Then the two made an agreement that plaintiff would work on a 2000 Audi for the defendant, and would get the Audi.   Defendant instead offered a Ford.      There was no written contract, and nothing to prove the agreement.   There is no proof plaintiff worked on any car, so case dismissed. 

Plaintiff claims he did the work, and was given a forged receipt.   Defendant says work wasn't done.   Defendant says plaintiff forged the document for the DMV that was rejected. 

Case dismissed. 

Second-

Malicious Call to Child Protective Services-Plaintiff rented trailer ($1500 total, $1000 deposit was paid), and was going to grow marijuana.  Plaintiff is suing for $1,000 deposit on trailer, and fix up costs.         Defendants are neighbors of plaintiff, and his mother.   

(Plaintiff was going to grow pot for his own use, so he didn't have to buy it.   He obviously used way too much of everything.   Plaintiff hasn't blinked yet, very odd.).     

Defendants said plaintiff claimed he was going to live in the trailer (he wanted to rent travel trailer for three months).   Plaintiff says he told male defendant it was for a grow op, and it was going to be on a friend's property (in Paris, California), but friend told plaintiff to get off his property.   Plaintiff says trailer didn't have valid registration.   

Defendant says plaintiff called CPS on them, said male defendant was meth user, and used drugs around the kids.    Plaintiff wanted his $1,000 deposit back, and then called CPS the same day.    

Plaintiff is not getting his $1,000 back.   Defendants receive $3,000 for plaintiff's malicious call to CPS.    

Horrible Tenant-Plaintiff landlady suing former tenant for unpaid rent, and damages, after she evicted him.    There is a signed lease.   Defendant paid some months in full, but some months less, and claims he's made up the back costs.    Defendant keeps swaying, and he's making me sick, but worse, JJ is getting sea sick too.     

Defendant breached lease by not paying in full for August, and  eviction was started.   Landlady claims $500 wasn't paid for July either.   Plaintiff gave a three day order on 1 September, and defendant owed $700, plus September, $500 more, equals $1200.   

Defendant moved on 15 September, but was on the premises on 24 September, when plaintiff's property manager (she lives across the hall from his former apartment), and defendant and his witness were heard trashing the place, and property manager photographed the damages (ripped out cabinets, etc.)    Defendant's witness doesn't lie very well.   I love it when the landlady has photos on move in, and move out. 

Plaintiff receives the full $5,000.   Defendant told to hit the road.    

Intersection Collision-Plaintiff suing defendant for a car accident.  Defendant did not have insurance on the day of the accident. 

Plaintiff was at stop sign, saw defendant in the left hand lane, but when he turned right onto the road, defendant switched lanes in the middle of the intersection,  and nailed his car.     JJ isn't getting the point, the woman didn't signal, and changed lanes in an intersection, and then swooped right hitting plaintiff's car.   

JJ says plaintiff should have waited for defendant to go past.   (My opinion is that if you don't have insurance, you should automatically lose). 

Case dismissed. 

(From a lot of talks with my insurance agent, anyone who is injured on your property is the homeowners, and/or the renter's liability.    That's a big reason that pools don't have diving boards any more.   This includes trespassers you don't do anything about).

I think the case of the sprained ankle/horses/fence was a raw deal.  If someone is on my property and tripped on a rock, then they sued me, I'd be pissed.  It seems unfair to me - clumsy equals I pay for your ER bill, do I have to clear every little obstacle so no mishaps can befall any visitor ever? 

After hearing the details, JJ made the defendant (partly) responsible.   Whatever, JJ.   I've never been a homeowner, so if I'm missing some statute, I'd be curious to find out how this case fits.  

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, first one new, second one a recent rerun-

First (New)-

Divorce Fallout = Free Horses-Plaintiff went on defendant's mother's property to look at horses being given away, and defendant's daughter invited plaintiff on the property.   Defendant daughter was going through a divorce, and the horses needed to be rehomed.     Plaintiff claims she stepped on a pipe or something in the pasture, and turned her ankle.  Defendant daughter kept the horses on the defendant's mother's property. 

Plaintiff claims she climbed over a gate, and defendant says she didn't need to do that getting into the property.   There is a walk through gate shown on the pictures submitted by defendant.   There was a lot of getting keys, shuffling positions, etc.   Then defendant unlocked the gate, and opened the gate, and plaintiff climbed over the second gate, stepped on something, and rolled her ankle.    

I'm surprised the plaintiff didn't go after the defendant's homeowner's insurance, or if she had better evidence, get a civil attorney.      JJ says plaintiff was invited, and defendant is partly responsible.

Plaintiff claims her deductible will be $2300 or more, and she receives $1010 (half of out of pocket fees, because plaintiff was half responsible)

When a Pit Bull Attacks...Yet Again-Plaintiff suing defendant/neighbor for a dog bite, pain and suffering, and other damages from defendant's dog biting plaintiff.   This happened at a dog park, and plaintiff says the defendant's dog bit her dog at the park a year ago.    

Plaintiff was at the dog park for the first time after the previous attack, with a well behaved group of dogs and owners, she was with.     Plaintiff saw defendant coming to the dog park, plaintiff yelled for defendant to stay out, because plaintiff was leaving.   Defendant ignored the warning, let her dog loose in the gate, and defendant's dog attacked plaintiff's dog.    Plaintiff was injured rescuing her dog from the attacking Pit.     Plaintiff's arm injuries look very bad, and had to drain to heal.    Defendant dog was quarantined, and defendant claims that was her only issue with animal control.    

JJ wants defendant to describe the previous attack by her dog, the year before.   Defendant was not watching her dog, and the Pit Bull was in a fight with plaintiff's Jack Russell.   Plaintiff says the Pit entered the park, and immediately pinned her Jack Russell to the ground, and a bystander separated the dog.   Defendant didn't see any of the fight or rescue happen, because she wasn't even looking.     Plaintiff says defendant never sees anything her dog does.  

Plaintiff gets $2,000.   I think she should have gone for $5,000, because the Pit shouldn't be at the park. 

Second (Rerun)-

Woman Whacks Husband's Ex in Head with Gun - Plaintiff is suing defendant for vandalizing her vehicle.   Plaintiff husband went to prison for 3 years for assaulting the defendant, and married his co-plaintiff wife while he was in jail, and the three kids with plaintiff wife range from 11 years to 5 months.   

Plaintiff is idiot ex-con who claims he was innocently out until midnight (and we all know what he was doing, and probably with another desperate woman).  Supposedly man texted defendant at mall, to come to his cousin's house, not where he's shacking up with the wife.   Defendant goes to the cousin's house, wife/girlfriend plaintiff whacks stupid desperate defendant in head with a gun.    Defendant made phony police report saying plaintiff ex-con wasn't present, so it didn't violate his non-contact order with desperate, stupid, slutty defendant.     

Plaintiff wife says she has a recording of confession from defendant that she vandalized the car.      Poor Byrd has to go listen to the garbage audio recording on the phone, and couldn't figure out anything on it.      Plaintiff wife apparently walked in on plaintiff husband, and defendant boinking in the basement, and that's when the assault happens.       I wonder what happened to the plaintiff's teeth?  Or is that a souvenir of love muffin's assault?   Plaintiff wife claims defendant vandalized her car.   Plaintiff wife's witness is her own husband.  

JJ dismisses the town tramps' cases. 

Apparently defendant took her fake teeth out, and claims plaintiff wife took the teeth too.   

No money to either party, because they're stupid, slutty, and desperate, and all three will probably go home to continue the freaky relationships. 

My Arm Was Almost Torn Off-Two tow truck drivers work for the same company in Chicago.  They get paid cash for each tow, which apparently makes things very competitive.     Plaintiff claims defendant parked too close to his truck that plaintiff's arm was caught, and almost torn off.    Truck company doesn't get worker's comp., and claims the company said they will take care of the plaintiff, and didn't want him to get a lawyer, for obvious, sleazy reasons.     

The two drivers were racing to get to the accident, because first one there gets the tow, and the money.   The plaintiff looks so confused and hurt when JJ says there's a scam going on, and she'll figure it out (he's not a good actor either).      I think part of the reason they came on the show was to advertise the business, and I'm surprised the litigants, and their witnesses aren't wearing M & J Trucking t-shirts.    When defendant pulled out to go to the tow, the T-shaped boom hit p.'s arm.   

JJ tells them both to take it up with M & J Trucking, no one gets money from Byrd today.

She was invited all right, but not to climb over the fence! She was supposed to walk through the entrance like any sensible person would have done.

When a Pit Bull Attacks...Yet Again-

Defendant does not supervise her savage dog and does not care about the consequences for others. I agree that plaintiff did not ask for enough money. As in many cities, the municipal animal control department appears to be a joke where they live.

(They have now changed my TV schedule, JJ old reruns air at 4 p.m., and newer ones still air at 5 p.m.   Don't know if that's permanent).

4 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016-2017-

First-

Boss Steals Worker's Car-Plaintiff suing former boss/car seller for the car he repo'd.   She paid $2500 down, and was to make bi-weekly payments of $100 until car paid off.   Plaintiff skipped six payments, defendant repo'd car.    JJ say repo was legit.    However, defendant didn't tell the plaintiff car was repo'd by him, so she reported it stolen, and police impounded the car.    

JJ will not give impound, since defendant didn't tell plaintiff he had car.

There are allegations of car damages, and JJ tells defendant to use the $2500 down payment he received for the car damage, and impound.    

Gimme Back My Camera-Plaintiff and defendant were shacking up, she gave him an older camera.   Then they had a fight, and plaintiff went to drop him off at ex-wife and kid's place for Christmas.   Defendant borrowed the new professional camera owned by professional photographer plaintiff, to take family pictures.    Defendant reconciled with ex-wife, and kept the professional camera.   

JJ gives plaintiff back her expensive camera, and Byrd gives older camera to defendant, and case is over.

Second-

Divorced and Angry-Plaintiff suing estranged Mother-in-Law for a false restraining order, and attorney's fees.    Plaintiff need child support, and MIL paid for one month for her deadbeat son.  Then defendant ex-husband raided the marital joint account, and took off for Florida fun with his side piece.    So plaintiff called MIL for money, and then MIL called the son by the pool in Florida.   Defendant son called police, and police told MIL to get a restraining order against plaintiff.    

MIL files for a protective order, and plaintiff had to get an attorney to fight the order.   Protective order was denied, and plaintiff gets $1,083 for the attorney fees, everything else dismissed.

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. cases, both recent reruns-

First-

Slick Senior Picture Operation?!-Plaintiff photographer suing defendants (Mom gets the boot later) for stopping payment on a check, to pay for defendant's daughter's senior photo shoots.

The contract is the 'model' photos free, with a discount for senior pictures for photo packages, which costs a bundle.     Defendant mother claims she only received two modeling pictures, daughter says 3 to 5 per photo shoot, and there were two shoots.  The average senior photo packages costs about $1,000. 

 Defendant mom tries to charge the desk, and gets the Byrd stop.   The senior picture turned the girl's hair red, but final album shows blonde hair (the right color).    (I don't have kids, so when co-workers told me how much they spent on professional photographers for photo shoots, albums, prints, and all kinds of things for senior pictures, I was stunned). 

The defendant mother trashes every picture, and stopped payment on the check for the senior photos.   Photo shoot was $1200 + sales tax 8 1/4%, $1249.50.     Photographer says all pictures in the album were selected by the daughter.       Another photographer took the senior yearbook picture.   Photographer was paid $250 deposit, and that's all she's getting, until JJ finds out some were posted online by the defendant mother.  

Now defendant mom gets the boot.   JJ likes the digitals the defendant daughter received.  Mother had posted the pictures on Facebook, and supposedly deleted them.   

Photographer keeps the $250 deposit, and $500 for the photo shoot, totals $750.   

Second-

Guess Which Breed of Dog Annihilates Another!-A younger teen (niece of plaintiff), and a friend go to walk her dog (German Shepherd).  The across the street neighbor's two pit crosses came out of the yard, and attacked the dog.      The pits are kept on chains at night in the back yard, and off chains during the day, and never come in the house.   

The dogs are chained, and she doesn't want to risk people kicking in her fence (I believe that the SWAT team usually kicks in the front and back doors, but maybe the gate too.   I wonder if the pits attack any dog they see, or just dogs resembling the ones that come with the SWAT team? ), at night, and letting the dogs out.    The defendant also has a chihuahua that lives in the house all of the time.

Plaintiff's niece was walking her leashed dog, and the two pits attacked the dog.  A wonderful bystander hit the attacking dogs with a chair, and made them let go.  The girls went home, pointed out the two attacking dogs, and saw the roommates of the defendant/homeowner put the dogs back in the yard.     

After the attack, the defendant homeowner kept threatening the plaintiff, the niece, and others at the plaintiff's house.    Police reports were made, and to animal control.  The Pits were not quarantined.   

There is a shocking video of the homeowner screaming all kinds of threats against the plaintiffs, and the dogs, the morning after the attack.   Defendant claims her homeowner's insurance covers the Pits, I'm betting that's a lie too.  

$3,000 for the plaintiff.     

Upcoming Rap Star Bling!-Plaintiff suing for $5k, for rent, jewelry, and iPhone, and iWatch.    Plaintiff paid nothing in April, May and June, but they were living together then too.  The ex-girlfriend, or whatever, was an aspiring rap artist, so plaintiff loaned her money for an iPhone, and paid nothing back.    Then, plaintiff bought her the iWatch, and nothing was paid back by defendant, and there was one payment from defendant of $500.   In May defendant smashed the watch and phone, and in July plaintiff bought the necklace for the defendant.  

Apparently the defendant misbehaved in the court clerk's office before the case.    I really want the video of that misbehavior.

Plaintiff starts to yell at JJ, and defendant, and case is thrown out.    

Cat-Litter Eating Puppy?!-Defendant young man and woman moved plaintiff into their apartment, and plaintiff's cat litter was eaten by defendant's puppy.     Plaintiff moved out early after the fighting over the puppy, kitty, and everything else started, and JJ told her to pay the lease break fee.

Everyone gets booted, and no money. 

[CrazyInAlabama]

4 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably 2016-2017-

First-

Don't Fence Me In-Plaintiff (Michael Jackson) owns the fence on his property (not a joint fence) between his house, and defendants' yard.    Defendants piled tires and junk against the fence until the fence broke, when plaintiff wanted replacement costs, the defendants told him to stuff it.    Then they piled the junk against their front gate to keep their dogs in, so they still have a yard with lots of trash and tires.     Defendants also wanted plaintiff to pay for the branches they trimmed on their property, from plaintiff's tree (dismissed). 

JJ says since fence is old, defendants don't have to pitch in on fence.   This fence stuff has been going on for over six years!   Too bad no one moved away from the neighbors.  Defendant tries to tell the entire history of their disputes with plaintiff, and I side with the plaintiff.    Wonder how much wildlife is living in the junky yard of the defendants?  

Case dismissed. 

Sister, I Don't Believe You-Plaintiff suing sister for cost to repair her car, defendant counter claim for payments she made on car.    JJ thinks both litigants are lying and just here for the money, and I agree.    Supposedly plaintiff co-signed, and car was in plaintiff's name, but defendant drove it and made payments for two years.  However, defendant didn't have insurance.   

Cases dismissed.   JJ told them to go back to where they came from and sue there.    

Mess or No Mess-Plaintiff suing former landlady for return of security deposit ($200), but wants $5,000.   Rent was $650, so she still owes $450 for last month.    Landlady wants damages. 

$450 for defendant, nothing for plaintiff.

Second-

Dad Left in the Dark-Plaintiffs mother and son, suing sister's ex-husband and her sister for child care costs, and travel costs for the kids.   Plaintiff had custody of sister's kids, and lived in Minnesota.   Defendant ex-husband lives in North Dakota, and defendant woman now lives in Texas.   Defendant sister lived in Texas, and CPS was involved.   Sister /plaintiff took custody of children, and paid for the air fare for the kids.   

Defendant woman and kids lived in Minnesota, but moved to Texas, a year later.   Defendant father didn't see the kids at any time while they lived in Texas.    Defendant father was accused of corporal punishment against the oldest daughter, and CPS was involved, and that's when the defendant mother moved to Texas with the kids.    

Defendant father lives in Fargo, ND, and kids were in Minnesota, and defendant father wanted custody of the kids.   Defendant man called the sister with the kids, and wanted to talk to his kids, and kids didn't want to talk to him.   Defendant father goes to court in ND, and gets custody of the three kids (the ones the Texas court stopped all visitation with the defendant father).       Plaintiff paid $700 for airfare for the three kids, who only lived with her for a week, before the father got custody.    Defendant father has the two boys, and the daughter (the one he assaulted), is in foster care in ND. 

How can any judge in ND, not look at the father's history with the kids, and give this man custody?   

$700 to plaintiff. 

Victim Compensation Funeral-Plaintiff / funeral director is suing defendant/mother of deceased son for funeral costs she still owes.   Defendant owes money to funeral director for son's funeral, and is counter suing him to get funeral payment back.  Mother's  claim to a state crime victim funeral fund was turned down.    There was the option of a state paid pauper's funeral, but mother wanted a better funeral.   Funeral director told defendant about the state crime victim's compensation fund.   Funeral director told defendant about her funeral cost options. .   Plaintiff has a signed contract for the funeral, and cemetery.   Defendant claims she paid $300 to plaintiff.    

$5000 to plaintiff.

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Therapy Pit Bull vs. 8-Year-Old Child-Plaintiff suing for dog attack ($997 vet bill) by a pit bull that was being walked by an 8 year old child (the male plaintiff was with the child and dog), and the child couldn't stop the attack. 

Defendant keeps claiming the pit bull is a therapy dog.      Plaintiffs are suing neighbor after pit bull attacked their Labrador.    Plaintiff's dog was on leash, when pit bull attacked.    An 8 year old was going to walk the Pit Bull, but defendant doesn't remember the kid's name.   Plaintiff says Pit dragged boy across a neighbor's yard, where it attacked the first time.  The plaintiff managed to get the Pit off of the Lab, then Pit slipped it's collar, and attacked again.   

Defendant was watching the 8 year old, for the kid's parent, and can't remember his name, and hasn't seen the child since the dog attack.  Defendant claims plaintiffs were trespassing, and her dog attacked because it was protecting the 8 year old.   

Defendant claims plaintiff was hitting her with the leash, not the Pit.     Defendant lied to Animal Control on the day of the fight, and claims she didn't see fight happen.    Plaintiff sent certified letter with vet bills to defendant who did not reply.   

Sheriff's department officers arrived, and stated they had a history with the address residents, so they stuck around until animal control showed up. 

As JJ says, defendant either lied to Sheriff deputy, and Animal Control, or lied to JJ, and defendant says she lied today.   I hope the Sheriff's department saw this, or JJ forwarded a copy.     (note to defendant, this is not a cocktail party, so don't dress like it is).

$997 to plaintiffs. (and JJ goes off on defendant big time, very enjoyable).

Alabama Child Support Drama-Plaintiff suing ex-wife for collecting extra child support that she accepted, and kept after child turned 19.   Defendant also wants medical bills plaintiff didn't pay, $2,000.   Defendant is told to go back to family court for the medical bills. 

Plaintiff gets $945 back.  

Second-

House Flipping 101: What Not to Do-Woman takes real estate how to flip course, and screws the flip up miserably.   Plaintiff is first time house flipper claims the defendant contractor scammed her.   Plaintiff hired the man to do the kitchen cabinets, maybe opening up a wall, and putting in a support beam.      Defendant claims he ordered cabinets, and plaintiff cancelled them, and there was a restocking fee.    Plaintiff never checked any references for defendant. 

 Plaintiff gets $3000, even after advancing on the sacred desk of Judge Judy.   Plaintiff doesn't get the other $2k that she claims the man damaged in the house. 

I Threw a Ping Pong Ball , Not a Rock!-Plaintiff claims she manages an apartment house for free (she's apparently related to the owner).    She claims that defendants moved in, were month to month tenants, and are still living in the duplex.  Plaintiff says she loaned an armoire, and two more pieces of furniture to the defendants.     

Defendants were going to renovate a bathroom in the building for the equivalent of $1k, and they ripped the bathroom out.     The bathroom remodel was hysterically bad, and will have to be gutted, and redone.   No permits were pulled either.  

After seeing the bad job on the bathroom, plaintiff demanded the armoire, and two lamps back.  

The glass on the armoire was cracked, defendant says plaintiff's son broke it, and there were cigarette burns (she gets $250 for armoire).      Defendant claims plaintiff hit her car, and left the scene.     Defendants moved out suddenly, and claim (on video) plaintiff whacked their car with a rock.  Plaintiff claims it was a ping pong ball or rubber ball.  Defendant claims damage to her van was not caused by the ball or rock, but when plaintiff hit van with her car.   The police case is still pending. 

Plaintiff receives $250 for the furniture damages.  Defendants receive $0.

Slick Senior Picture Operation?!

Another case where JJ screwed a small business owner. She may have a gazillion children and grandchildren and thus have infinite knowledge of how the prom pictures market works, but she knows crap about the technical side of photography. She semed to hink that colour correction is a marketing ploy by the photographer whereas it is a necessary technique that has been around for ages to correct lighting of film imbalance. Even B&W movies had to go though colour correcting or grading.

The photographer should have been allowed to keep more if not all of the money because that hateful mother breached the contract. She apparently believes her smart-alecky little smirking princess has a potential career as a model (and as a cash cow for the family).

Therapy Pit Bull vs. 8-Year-Old Child-

I instantly detest dog owners who trot out the therapy or service dog defense. As if such canines magically lose all of their animal impulses and instincts, and become incapable of attacking another creature.

[CrazyInAlabama]

4 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably from 2016-2017 (maybe won't get summarized, if the thunderstorm over my house doesn't move on quickly)

First-

Salon Thievery-Plaintiff suing former business partners over a beauty salon business, alleging property stolen, and loss of income.   Plaintiff claims the two defendants illegally evicted her.  At one time both defendants worked for plaintiff, then they all decided to expand the salon, move to a new location, and become partners.    Plaintiff and husband did renovations on the new beauty shop, and was full time, defendants were only in the salon a day or two a week, and worked other jobs.   Lease still has two more years to run.   

Plaintiff claims the two defendants breached the partnership contract by working very few hours.    Plaintiff claims she paid the utilities, and in December she came to work, and the lights were cut off.  Plaintiff called one defendant and asked about power outage, then other issues happened with the plumbing, and the end of the month plaintiff left the salon.  

Plaintiff claims she owned all salon equipment and stations, except one sofa, and claims defendant kept everything after she left.      Defendants deny plaintiff left much behind.   Funny the defendant who is talking doesn't look at JJ at all.   Plaintiff has order giving her furniture back, that she brought from the old salon she owned.   

Defendants get some chairs from plaintiff's chairs, and plaintiff gets her stuff back (what defendant didn't trash or sell).  

You're an Idiot-Plaintiff suing ex-boyfriend for an unpaid loan.    Defendant says the $800 loan for a car was a gift, not a loan.  Plaintiff, as usual, got a new phone since the loan, with text messages gone that prove $800 was a loan, not a gift.     (Plaintiff gave iPhone with messages to her 4 year old cousin).    Texts were printed out, and show that it was a loan, so $800 to plaintiff. 

Second-

Engagement Ring Confusion-Plaintiff suing defendant for return of his engagement ring.  Engagement was broken, and defendant gave the rings back to plaintiff.  Plaintiff gave defendant eviction paperwork, and defendant finally left.   Plaintiff's daughter filed elder abuse paperwork against defendant.    Defendant claims she was escorted out of the home, after police came after reports defendant was threatening the plaintiff with a knife.  (I love the plaintiff's suit, and the matching accessories).    Defendant says she went to dinner with plaintiff (3 to 6 months after the eviction), but they weren't engaged, so the ring was just a gift.   Then, plaintiff claims defendant blocked his phone number, and he wanted ring back again.     Plaintiff said defendant only could keep the rings if they married. 

Defendant keeps the rings to sell, plaintiff keeps any furniture defendant left behind. 

Too Much Money Too Soon-Plaintiff suing her boyfriend's mother for a loan to pay rent.   Plaintiff gets tribal money, received $50K when she turned 18, and every penny is gone.   (defendant mother has hideous makeup, and looks stoned).    Plaintiff, defendant mother, boyfriend, defendant's ex-husband, two more siblings of boyfriend, all live together with plaintiff paying the bills.    Plaintiff thinks ex-husband of defendant will actually start paying the rent the next month (no he won't).    Plaintiff's boyfriend, and his useless relatives certainly knew who to target, didn't they?    The only good thing is the plaintiff and boyfriend threw mommy out.  (Plaintiff was going to school, and isn't even doing that any longer.   I hope she moved out and has a little place of her own, and went back to school). 

Sadly, predatory defendant took advantage of plaintiff, but there was no loan contract.  Case dismissed.  

Drunk Cyclists-Plaintiff claims bicyclist damaged her car. Plaintiff was at work, her car was parked, when defendant hit the parked car with his bicycle.      Police report says defendant had been drinking before the accident.   Plaintiff came out to her car after work, and found a note from the Sheriff's deputy about the accident.    Damage is a long scratch, and big dents.     

Plaintiff receives $3200 

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

Babblers are Usually Liars!-Defendant claims plaintiff assaulted her fiance, but plaintiff claims the fiance attacked her.     Plaintiff  accuses a former friend of returning her car with a huge dent that wasn't there before, and stealing a necklace.   Defendant borrowed plaintiff's car to go to the beach, fiance drove to Orchard Beach, parked, everyone met at the beach.  Defendant claims some tow truck parked at the beach did the damage.   Damage is assessed by JJ at $1,000 for plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims the necklace was ripped off by defendant at the gym.   

The car loan, and damage was months after the necklace incident. $1,000 for plaintiff.  

Battle Over the Bronze Lions!-Plaintiff was selling her house, and claims some bronze lions were her property, and is suing the home buyers/defendants.     There was no attorney involved, and no contract, but closing documents were done by a title company (it works that way in some states).        I think this house sale happened in 2015!  Plaintiff provided $12k closing costs, and signed the addendum the morning of closing costs.   

Plaintiff wants the bronze lions back, defendants claim they were part of the house.   There is an email from male defendant about the lions, and an email from plaintiff saying they could have them for $5k.  Defendant responded he wanted the lions.   That was a bizarre case, especially since the house was in New Hampshire, but the defendants were listed as living in Florida on the screen.   

 $5k for plaintiff.  

Second-

Damning Vandalism and Theft Caught on Tape?!-Defendant moves into woman's house, and plaintiff is suing for his video taped theft and damage of her property.      I remember this one, and the plaintiff is lucky she's not on the ID channel, as a victim.         Defendant stayed there from mid-September to the end of May.  He claims he paid in cash every month, but there are only seven months rent paid, and not one month.   

The video of defendant, and girlfriend stealing and vandalizing the plaintiff's property is awful.   Defendant and girlfriend are both stealing a lot of stuff too.    Defendant seems to think everything on the video, is funny.   

Plaintiff gets $5000.  

Don't Call My Antiques Junk-(This is the wild case where the neighbor had a lot of his junk in the old store on the first floor of the two store, and house/apartment above it)    Plaintiff wants money to get the defendants stuff off the alleyway on the plaintiff's aunt's property, and he put a gate over the end of the alleyway, and all are on the plaintiff's property.    Plaintiff wants to rehab the property, and sell, and it will then be worth about $500k (it's worth about $150k now).    

The plaintiff (niece of owner with power of attorney) had a survey done, and defendant's stuff is clearly on the aunt's property, and plaintiff wants it out now, and the gate removed.     Defendant Jeremy Burmeister, claims it's all valuable for his art projects. 

The plaintiff has pictures of the junk, and it's not art work or valuable.    Plaintiff also claims he's adding to the pile too.    The plaintiff's witness is trying hard to not laugh herself off the chair.     The defendant only owns 3 ft. from his building, and stuff is way beyond that too, from the photos.   Plaintiff wants the stuff moved, and demolition money for the gate removal.   

The only mistake the plaintiff made is she didn't get an estimate for removal of the junk, and the gate.   Defendant has three days to remove his junk, and clear out the gate, or plaintiff will get money for dumpsters, labor, and removal fees. 

This is a rerun, and I'm betting the plaintiff had to remove the junk, and get paid for it.  JJ is giving the plaintiff an order that if the junk isn't gone in three days, then she can call the sheriff, and get his junk out.      If plaintiff has to remove junk, then JJ will pay her bills for removal.      I love the response of the defendant to finding out JJ will not put up with him, and his junk.

4 p.m. episode, rerun, probably 2016-2017-

First-

Renter Hell-Plaintiff landlord suing tenant for damage to his rental home (I remember this one, JJ absolutely sided with the lying tenant, against the landlord).    Plaintiff inherited one tenant when he bought the house, and then the tenant / defendant moved in.   Plaintiff claims he did work on the house, but JJ says he had no time to do that.    Tenant was girlfriend of plaintiff's former business partner.      Tenant claims she was evicted illegally, by plaintiff.    There are reports to landlord by neighbors about shady activities going on at the property.    There was a trailer on the property, all kinds of vehicles (defendant claims she knew nothing about a trailer, or the vehicles).    Plaintiff submits a police report, and eviction notice.    

Defendant claims her ex-boyfriend, and landlord, and her boyfriend's mutual friends owned the trailer, and vehicles.   Defendant's druggie daughter, and daughter's boyfriend were on the property too, and lived in the house for a while.  Landlord says trailer on property, while defendant was living there, was stolen.      Abatement orders from city or county about the trailer, vehicles, etc. were while defendant was there.     Defendant had custody of the daughter's two grandkids, and one drew a lot of graffiti on the walls.     House is trashed.  Defendant says plaintiff stole her property, after she was evicted.   Sadly, housing court put the defendant back in the house after the eviction. 

Plaintiff can't go to the house, because of harassment from defendant's friends.  

JJ dismisses plaintiff's case.   JJ definitely favors grandmother's who are raising their grandkids, because parents are druggies.    Plaintiff didn't even get damages for the drawings on the wall by the grandkids.     Bad decisions JJ.   I guess JJ doesn't realize that the deputies were probably buddies with defendant, or her boyfriend?   

Counter claim is by defendant over vehicles towed off of his property, after abatement orders.    $5,000 to defendant, nothing to plaintiff, because JJ hates landlords.    Landlord should have received money for damages to the house, and now defendant still lives in plaintiff's house.  My guess, when plaintiff finally gets house back, it will be a tear down.

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

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.    (So defendant testimony that this was his first arrest is a lie). 

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.  (My guess is the boyfriend was not an ex). 

$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.  

Second-

Drone Under Attack Takes Fatal Dive!-Son borrowed a drone ($999.99) from Mommy, and a man with a frisbee (Disc Golf) nailed the drone, and killed it.   Drone was hovering 15 ft. in the air, and the drone goes down.  Plaintiff claims the drone dipped down in front of a bunch of the frisbees, and bye-bye drone.     Defendant unfortunately said he would give the plaintiff some money.    Plaintiff is partially responsible for the drone damage, because it was flying so low.   (I think anyone over 18 that brings Mommy to court should lose on the spot). 

$750 to the plaintiff.   

Mysterious Cat Attacks Shepherd Puppy!-Plaintiff claims defendant's cat attacked his dog, and he wants vet bills ($491).     Defendant claims it's not her cat, but if the cat attacked it's feral, and not under her control.     Plaintiff says he was walking his dog, cat attacked his dog, and when he arrived home he discovered the cat had injured the dog's eye.    

The plaintiff posted on Next Door with the description of the cat, the tags and collar, and someone answered.      A neighbor of both people posted that the cat belonged to the defendant, and is named Max, and claims the cat is a menace.  Defendant claims she's never had an issue with neighbors over the cat, but there is a neighbor complaint that says she has.   

Defendant Nancie Walsh, claims the neighbor has issues with her, not the cat.   Defendant says the neighbors also have issues with the two dogs the defendant owns, and walks.  

Defendant's witness is saying she knows all about the attack, saw it, but Max was on her front lawn, not attacking the man's dog.  Witness is a liar.  Hallterview with defendant is hysterical "they don't have leash laws in Austin", "there are no witnesses with anything notarized"   "Nobody can prove it was Max".   My comments: Austin isn't a state, HOA rules address wandering animals, and Nancie Walsh makes me glad I don' live anywhere near her.  

$491 to plaintiff.

I remember this one also, JJ screwed the pooch on this case. Don't forget the hallterview in which the defendant flat out stated that she had outsmarted the plaintiff, she was smarter than him. The plaintiff didn't present his case very well, but JJ constantly browbeat him, and jumped down his throat almost every time he tried to respond to her. No wonder the guy got tongue tied and confused.

[CrazyInAlabama]

3 p.m. episodes, both reruns, probably from 2016-2017-

First-

Savage Dog Attack-Plaintiff suing defendant for vet bills ($), after an attack by defendant's German Shepherd on plaintiff's Chihuahua at a dog park.    Defendants claim their German Shepherd didn't attack the Chi, but it was another GSD.   Chi was off-leash, (legal at the dog park area), when the GSD attack happened, and plaintiff's boyfriend separated the dogs.  Then the GSD slipped the collar and attacked two more times.   

Defendant wife came up to get her GSD, but now claims her dog didn't do it.    Defendant wife did give her phone number to plaintiff. but refused to pay the bills, and defendant husband got very nasty with plaintiff, and her boyfriend.   Defendant wife said that her husband, and the boyfriend should settle things.  

Defendant husband claims his wife has massive panic attacks, so they shouldn't have to deal with this.   He also claims his dog ran away, but another GSD did the attack.    The reason these people lost is because of their ridiculous attitudes, and bizarre defense.   

Plaintiffs receive $5,000.    

Medical Treatment Disaster- (I remember this one, the poor woman with the treatment has a horrific disease.  Money was borrowed to pay the medical bills.)    Plaintiff suing her brother-in-law for the repayment of a loan for defendant's wife chemo therapy bills.     Plaintiff denies she knew about the wife's condition, but claims the loan was just to pay bills.   Plaintiff and defendant's wife are sisters, so I call bull on the plaintiff's claims about ignorance of the disease.  

The plaintiff's husband has worked for the defendant for 15 years, so he had to know about the poor woman's condition.  Plaintiff's check was for $9,999.00 to avoid the IRS $10k report amount, part of the money was a settlement for an accident.   

  The bills faced by defendants are horrific, and for plaintiff to deny she knew anything about the treatments for the defendant's wife is appalling.     Plaintiffs claim it was a loan, and defendant says he is totally broke.     (My guess is the loan is only a tiny part of the issue the plaintiff has with her sister). 

Plaintiffs get $5,000.    

Second-

Four-Dog Pile-Up-Plaintiff suing defendant/neighbor for vet bills from a dog fight.   Plaintiff's two dogs (German Shepherd, and Chihuahua) were not on leash, and escaped the yard.   German Shepherd (GSD) was on defendant's property, and plaintiff's daughter leashed the GSD, still in defendant's front yard, with the Chihuahua(witness testimony says dogs were not leashed).   

Defendant's witness saw roommate let dogs (both Pits) out, and a fight ensued between GSD and one Pit.   Fight started on defendant's lawn, and moved to the street.   Witness says GSD was not on leash.   Neighbors tried to get dogs separated.   

Plaintiff still claims it was the Pit owner's fault.   Plaintiff will pay her own vet bills, but her dogs were off leash, and out of her control.   Plaintiff's daughter is giving her dramatic attack recreation, but it's total garbage.   The defendant's witness has no reason to lie, but plaintiff's witness/daughter does.   

Case dismissed.  (plaintiff still blames everything on the defendant).   Plaintiff's dog was on defendant's property, so defendant has no liability for the fight. 

Spray Gun Mist Mess-Plaintiff car collector suing fellow storage unit owner for damages to his vehicles from paint over spray.    The storage unit isn't sealed between units (big holes at the top of the common wall), and over the winter the plaintiff's vehicles were damaged by paint on them from a spray gun.   Plaintiff's witness is a 40 year auto paint pro. 

 Defendant sprayed primer, black paint, etc. over the winter in his storage unit.   Plaintiff claims defendant was told not to spray paint in his unit (they're more workshop areas, than actual storage units) a year before this by the fire department.   

$2600 to plaintiff.  (Hallterview is hysterical, plaintiff says maybe defendant inhaled too much lacquer over the years, and defendant still claims the paint was his.   I guess the Spray Paint Fairy did it?).

[CrazyInAlabama]

5 p.m. episodes, both recent reruns-

First-

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 son's prison sentence. 

Defendant refuses to repay the loan ($4k), because the sister was the sole 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. 

Second-

Drug Bust and Jail Time-Woman sells 2008 BMW that is wrecked to Damaged Cars . com, and they resell the salvage titled car to idiot defendant.  I wonder why the damaged cars place didn't transfer the title before they sold it?   When I trade a car in, the dealership has title in hand, and gets legal title on the spot, so they can resell it.     Plaintiff buys car in September 2017, never registers it, then goes to prison for 90 days, and car gets impounded in a drug bust.   

Former owner gets letter from impound lot, because they're going to charge the real owner for storage and auction shortfall, so they pay to get it out, husband starts working on it, and in June defendant comes for the car.      They gave it back to her, and she took it, not sure of the money involved, and plaintiff wants to be reimbursed for damage to car, and still has it. 

 Defendant will sign car title for plaintiff. 

The defendant says that the drug bust in the car was one of the largest ever in North Carolina, with  5,000 bindles of heroin and cocaine (my spell check doesn't understand drug amounts, or I misspelled 'bindle') seized.     At least the dealer had class, and drove the drugs in a BMW.     

Plaintiff is still pissed she didn't get money for a car that was ripped apart by the DEA, and leaves in a huff, and I hope the car falls apart the first time she sits in it.    And I'm guessing that if she actually registers it, that the local police will be pulling her over regularly, since their drug sniffing dogs will smell the residue at a hundred paces.   

Roof Falls on Daughter's Head-Section 8 tenant (don't know why the plaintiff keeps emphasizing the Section 8 part, but I don't know why).    She says the roof leaked, and before the repair she had roof leaks, and she has a picture of the damaged, expensive electronics she was keeping in a big box.     Damaged was a white Wii, play piano, Samsung camera, Samsung tablet, and apparently many other emails full of damaged stuff.   The stuff was in a box, because they had newer versions of it too.    At the time of the court case, the plaintiff still lives in the apartment, and isn't moving until a month after the court case.   

 Love the landlord saying he didn't have to go over, since she could send him pictures and messages about the damages, and I like that.    Roof gets replaced, and landlord claims the roofers were supposed to clean up after the roof was done.   Plaintiff tries to get all of her violations, and everything else fixed too.    When JJ says the plaintiff will not be getting $5k, she starts pouting like a little kid.    Landlord/defendant says roofers paid to clean the apartment, and gave tenant plaintiff $100 for laundry. 

Plaintiff gets $300.
