Bad Attitude Ex-Boyfriend-Plaintiff Sarah Wenzel suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Kristopher Wood for unpaid loan she took out for defendant $8,500 to buy a motorcycle.   Defendant simply won't stop making remarks to his ex, and mouthing off to JJ. 

That guy was a complete slime ball.  Why in the world would she have been attracted to him??   And I hope he doesn't quit his day job to become a tattoo artist.  If he did that to himself he has zero talent.

I was watching the Courtroom channel (158) on the Pluto app yesterday that someone mentioned earlier in this thread a few months ago. I happened to catch a mini marathon of JJ episodes from the first and second seasons. It made me remember how enjoyable original recipe JJ was at one time and how much her treatment of people changed over the years. In the older episodes she seemed much more personable and relatable towards the people appearing before her.

It was a real enjoyable mini marathon of episodes. Seeing them made me remember how much better the show was before JJ's attitude towards people and harsh judgements of those below her financially made the show so hard to watch for me at least.

P.S. I just checked the Pluto app and they are showing more old episodes on that channel right now.

4 p.m. reruns-

First (2013)-

False Restraining Orders? -Plaintiff Justin Allen suing defendant/ex girlfriend  (SSMOF Sainted Single Mother of Five, two with plaintiff) Jessica Medina for multiple false restraining orders, damaged property, and his share of a garage sale.  They broke up, got back together, moved back in together, and sold excess furniture, and were going to buy new furniture, $250 according to defendant, and plaintiff says over $500, and plaintiff claims this is connected with defendant’s alleged cheating.   Garage sale money thrown out.   This awful couple live in Ocala, Florida.

Plaintiff says defendant filed multiple false restraining orders against him, and two were after they broke up.   Plaintiff wants attorney fees, and money for the false restraining orders.  Defendant claims plaintiff followed her home, and he screamed filthy words at her house.  One of the two applications was before they broke up.  Then, plaintiff claims the defendant was luring him to the house, to call the police on him.   Defendant son stole property from plaintiff’s truck, and admits that, and son also threatened to slash plaintiff’s tires.

Then, defendant says two weeks later plaintiff said he was going to take their son, after the child was found wandering in the street.  Toddler was supposedly being watched by plaintiff’s older son.  

 Defendant is on disability with a back injury, but had three children after her disability diagnosis.    Defendant also gets disability for one other child.   Defendant also left their 3-year-old toddler child with older son, and toddler was wandering in the street.     Defendant claims plaintiff never was caring for his two children alone.       Very impressive stack of police reports on defendant.

Defendant blames plaintiff for the child walking down the road.

Defendant is a care giver for elderly, and disabled children.   That scares the hell out of me.

Everything dismissed.

Father-Son Fight -Plaintiff /son Cody Lloyd suing defendant/father Randall Lloyd for the proceeds of a car that defendant sold.   Son went to live with father, when father was out of town, son had a party, and there were damages, so father sold the car.   Plaintiff was under 18, so title was in father’s name.   Car cost $4200.

Defendant sold car, and there’s no proof of sale.  JJ doesn’t believe the defendant’s car sale with no proof story, and I don’t either.     Then defendant is slurping down the “Water that Must Never be Drunk”.

Plaintiff to $4200 for the car, defendant counter claim for party damages dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Housemate Harassment -Plaintiff /landlord Robert Diller suing defendant/former room tenant Tarara Wilson over stolen property, unpaid rent.  Plaintiff left the home for a while, because he felt unsafe with defendant living there.    Defendant claims plaintiff walked around naked, and was very creepy.   $400 was room rent.    Defendant claims she paid cash every month, no receipts.   Plaintiff admits defendant only paid full rent the first two months, and $200 the third month, and nothing after that.    Plaintiff says defendant said she lost her job, but she didn’t.    Plaintiff says defendant was gone most of July, but her property was there, and defendant came back in August.   Plaintiff says defendant didn’t pay after the partial payment the third month.   

All text messages from defendant or her supposed sister, are all from the same phone number.  A text message says defendant was taking care of her critically ill mother, but the woman’s mother died years ago.    Defendant is suing for rent, and harassment.

Plaintiff remarried, and harassment by defendant escalated.   Defendant went to the women’s shelter, and then made a police report about plaintiff threatening her with a gun.    Police officer was telling plaintiff what defendant’s game is, but that’s inadmissible.  

 When plaintiff came back with wife, from picking up stepson, they found that his room had been burglarized, including son’s Xbox, and other items were stolen.   At that time, defendant was the only occupant of the home.    

Defendant claims the burglaries were son’s friends, and the smoking and drinking and drugs were him and his friends.   Then, stepson’s mother says, “My son just moved in with us (in California, from Minnesota), and he has no friends”.    Thanks, Mom.  

Items stolen include a modem, Xbox, and other items.    Defendant says she moved back to the room to get her stuff together, and wanted her deposit back, and it was over 10 days.

Plaintiff gets rent.   Everything from defendant dismissed.

Child Support Fight -Plaintiff Sirenade Navaez suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Jose Martinez over bail, a motorcycle, and a child support loan (for defendant’s 10-year-old).   Defendant says he’s never had a motorcycle, plaintiff claims ex has the title, and the motorcycle.     The older child’s mother didn’t want defendant’s arrest record affecting her child.   After the second arrest (both arrests were from unpaid child support), defendant agreed to terminate his parental rights.

Since defendant terminated his parental rights, doesn’t that terminate his child support also? But not arrearages.      Bail was $500 the first time, and $1,000 the second time, both paid by plaintiff, and went to the child support, and he still owes about $10,000 for the older child.

$1500 to plaintiff for the child support, and plaintiff will try to locate the motorcycle. 

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Innocent Onlooker Steps Up   -Plaintiff Karen Terrazone ($2147) suing defendant Pamela Salazar over a traffic accident, caused by defendant cutting plaintiff off while driving.   Plaintiff's witness is an innocent onlooker.  As usual, defendant does not have insurance, and it lapsed the day before.   

Plaintiff was driving, turning left with a green light, plaintiff turned left, and defendant (a liar) says she was already in the left-hand lane turning, but according to witness defendant cut in front of in front of the plaintiff, plaintiff was in the left turn lane, and claims plaintiff hit her car in the rear.  Plaintiff witness was behind defendant, next to the left turn lane, and saw the accident.     Plaintiff witness was behind and driving behind the two litigants, and says defendant cut off plaintiff, and caused the accident. 

Plaintiff witness did not know either litigant before the accident.

Defendant's witness is her daughter, and her lies are supporting her lying mother.   Defendant daughter makes up a ridiculous story of the accident happening. 

Any time when they rewrite my policy (when I get a new car or other changes), or I change companies, I'm covered, so why wasn't the defendant?    If my local agent isn’t open, then the 24/7 customer service desk handles whatever I need.

Plaintiff receives $ 2147, and the lying, uninsured defendant's counter claim is dismissed.

Officer Byrd Nudged by a 13-Year-Old- -Plaintiff Martie Glenn (mother) and Parker Glenn, (teen) are suing the defendant/ mother of kid Catherine Harrison, the plaintiff son bullied on the playground, for his glasses breaking.     Fortunately, the kids aren't in the same school now.   (This was in Arizona)

Defendant Jordan Harrison says he was sitting on the slide, and plaintiff threw wood chips in his face twice, defendant told plaintiff to stop.  Then, plaintiff took defendant's hat, and threw it in the trash.   

Plaintiff seems to think like Eddie Haskell (Leave it to Beaver), his charm will get him off the hook.   Nope, not happening.   Plaintiff claims it was all just fun when he threw wood chips in the defendant's face, and ripped his hat off and put it in the trash.   A few minutes later plaintiff claims the defendant attacked him, and wanted to fight.   

Plaintiff's mother thinks her son's stuff doesn't stink, and I bet he's always been a bully, and mother ignored it.  Plaintiff mother is despicable, and you can tell she thinks her son is so innocent.   Plaintiff then pushed the kid, demonstrated on Officer Byrd.  I was really hoping Officer Byrd would show the creepy bully what a real shove felt like, but he didn't (I'm sure Officer Byrd wanted to do that).    Then, plaintiff's glasses were broken.   

JJ dismisses case, and tells plaintiff mommy her kid is a bully, and he certainly is.   Bet plaintiff has a long history of bullying other kids.   

JJ is paying nothing to the plaintiff, and gets a round of applause from the audience.   

Second (2016)-

Hostile Work Environment- -Plaintiffs Amarette Mocteczuma and Joseph Kribell   claim defendant/painting contractor Robert Miller didn't pay them for work.  Defendant claims he advanced the couple so much money, that he owes them nothing.  The plaintiffs worked painting a house, and some handyman work on the same house.  Each week defendant paid them for their wages, minus what he advanced during the week. Both litigants are transients.   

Plaintiff says a hostile work environment existed with defendant, for example when plaintiff mixed the wrong paint.   

$220 to plaintiffs..    

Trampoline Park Accident-Plaintiff Meredith Leblanc is suing defendants Cindy Tipper (mother) and (son) Nicholas Tipper (Meredith and Nicholas both worked at a trampoline park), and plaintiff's iPhone was damaged.  Plaintiff's phone was sitting in the break room, on top of an empty, large pizza box, and defendant stabbed the pizza box.  When defendant took pencil out of box, phone was flipped into a bowl of punch and ruined the phone. 

As JJ points out, defendant should replace the phone.  Defendant claims plaintiff had insurance on the phone, so it shouldn't have cost plaintiff the full price to replace.    

$300 to plaintiff, and defendant needs to leave mommy at home next time.

4 p.m. reruns-

First (2013)-

Let Them Eat Wedding Cake -Plaintiffs Lakena Oppong (wife) and (husband) Ricardo Frost are suing defendant/caterer Jarrell Smith for not providing them enough food for 150 people. Strangely the defendant has to wear his hat in court for medical reasons, including a note from his doctor.    Plaintiff wife says 150 people were coming, and all showed up.   It was self-seating, not assigned seating (goody, musical chairs wedding reception edition).    Wife’s family supplied the booze.   $3000 cash paid to defendant, for 150 people.    Defendant says he provided the amount of food for 150 people, but claims a lot more people came to the reception, and many people took multiple servings.    

All litigants signed the contract.    Defendant wants the included gratuity in the contract, there are two different contracts for some reason.    The modified contract says $3,000 paid, tip to caterer required, but no one can claim a gratuity unless it’s included in the contract with an amount.    Defendant tip /gratuity tossed out.  There is no amount or percentage in the contract for gratuity/tip, so it’s not happening.

Defendant received $3,000 from plaintiff.    So, defendant doesn’t get any money for his claim.

Plaintiff claims people didn’t get enough food, and bride thinks she should get money back, but she won’t. It worked out to $20 each person for two kinds of chicken, and sides.    Defendant had to plate the food, and plaintiff hired some teens to serve the plated food to tables.   Defendant says the plaintiffs were late to their own reception.    Defendant claims family members and other guests were in the kitchen, taking a lot of food before plaintiffs arrived at the reception site.

Plaintiff and defendant claim dismissed. 

Hurricane Destruction -Plaintiff Kara Portocarrero suing defendant Daniel Famulare for driving her car into a hurricane.  Plaintiff talked to another person the day before the hurricane arrival, and accident about driving her to work.   Instead, defendant drove her to work in her car, but plaintiff claims she didn’t give defendant permission to drive the car home.  

Plaintiff wants $500 deductible, and $2700 down payment on another car.

Plaintiff drove the car to work, and defendant drove the car home, when the car fishtailed, went into a canal.   Defendant had to climb on the roof of the car, and had to call 911 and be rescued.    This was after Hurricane Ike, and plaintiff is a zoo keeper, and had to go to work.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2013)-

Return My Chihuahua -Plaintiff Barbara Callahan suing defendant/estranged daughter-in-law Angelique Callahan for the return of her Chihuahua, unpaid veterinary bills, and pawning a diamond ring.  After she split up with the husband, defendant moved out, and left dog with mother-in-law because daughter-in-law was homeless.    Almost ex-husband is mother’s witness.    Litigants, plus husband/son lived in plaintiff’s home until plaintiff evicted the couple.    Then, two months later couple returned to plaintiff’s home, until they split in August, leaving the dog with plaintiff.   The adoption papers have plaintiff’s name on it, and vet receipts have plaintiff’s name on it.    If plaintiff loses custody of dog, then she wants vet bills paid by defendant.    (This is in Strasburg, VA, near Winchester, VA. In the Shenandoah Valley).  However, married couple/defendant used another vet.    Barbara Callahan adopted the dog, took dog to vet, but plaintiff wants the dog back.    Contract is with SPCA of Winchester, VA, and defendant claims plaintiff breached the contract, but defendant has no standing to challenge the contract.   Plaintiff has six dogs, and defendant only has Rock Star, the Chi in question.  

Plaintiff wants dog back from defendant, or the vet bills paid.   So, defendant keeps the dog, and plaintiff gets the vet bills paid.  I find it hard to believe that one Chi needed $900 of vet care, but I can believe that other dogs owned by plaintiff went to the vet at the same time.  

Plaintiff wants to be paid for pawn costs for a diamond ring that defendant wanted paid that were pawned. Plaintiff paid $850 to get jewelry out of pawn, including their wedding rings.

$45 for vet bills to plaintiff. Defendant keeps the dog.  (In hall-terview, plaintiff claims her son will never give defendant a divorce.   Since divorce can be received with or without the other party agrees, plaintiff and sonny can stuff it). 

Doberman Dachshund Attack -Plaintiff Valerie Iovino-Cox suing defendant/dog rescue owner Joseph Panzarella for vet bills after a dog attack.  Plaintiff says Doberman Dillinger was adopted from defendant’s rescue after Hurricane Sandy, and almost immediately Dobie attacked her Dachshund.    Plaintiff claims she was in fear for her life all weekend, but didn’t call animal control, or the rescue owner immediately after the attack.  

Plaintiff claims she was terrified of Dillinger, and wants to get paid because rescue owner couldn’t pick dog up for three days.   So, why didn’t plaintiff call animal control?  Plaintiff claims dog still belonged to the rescue, but defendant says dog was adopted.   JJ points out that any fault is the plaintiff’s, because she didn’t supervise the dogs properly.  

Defendant blames plaintiff, and Dillinger has a good home now.

Plaintiff claim dismissed.

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Jealousy-Fueled Vandalism-Plaintiff Nicole Johnson claims defendant /ex-boyfriend Dillon Wood kicked her car in a fit of rage.  Plaintiff is rather vague on her facts, and she didn't report the incident until six days later.     

Defendant claims plaintiff witness rammed him into the car, not happening.  (On a personal, tacky note, who did the plaintiff's hair?   It looks terrible).  The litigants didn’t see each other after the incident with the car.   This all happened over a year ago, but defendant violated probation and had nine months in jail/prison, but that left time for plaintiff to file this case.  

Defendant claims plaintiff witness damaged the car by slamming defendant into the car. 

Plaintiff gets $4317 for car damages.

Fire Pit Craziness-Plaintiffs Steven Sholar and Christopher DePugh suing former landlord/defendant Lisa Travisano for return of a security deposit ($1789), landlord kept for damages, and for lease violation.   There was a walk through with landlady, but no checklist, or photos.    There is a formal letter to plaintiffs for $1789 in damages, for a fire pit.  Plaintiff's claim it wasn't an active fire pit. 

 If the landlady wanted to break the lease, then she should have enforced it during the year, and evicted the tenants for having other people not on the lease living there.  Plaintiffs took photos the day they moved out. 

$1789 to plaintiffs.   

Bitten Buyer-Plaintiff salesman Raymond Navarro suing defendant/dog owner Alicia Beccue for actual and punitive damages over her dog biting him.   Plaintiff went to defendant's home to see a speaker or some other electronic device defendant had for sale.    Garage door was open, with two large dogs in it, but a third dog came out of the house when defendant opened the door, and an Australian Terrier bit the plaintiff.   

Defendant makes the usual stupid excuses.  (So. the defendant is telling JJ about dog behavior?).

Defendant claims plaintiff demanded that defendant bring the dog into the house.

 $500 for plaintiff.

Second (2016)-

Most Wanted Shoplifter-Plaintiff/accused shoplifter Deon Rose suing for defamation of character after defendants/store owners David and Maria Mendoza put up a photo of him, labelled 'shoplifter', after a dispute over cheap cigars.    Defendant, and his brother both claim plaintiff is a shoplifter.    There is a police report about the March incident.    Plaintiff claims defendant wanted to fight him.    Plaintiff brought a witness who wasn't in the store during the incident, must have wanted the trip to L.A.   

Case dismissed, and plaintiff is banned from the store.   

The Reluctant Landlord-Plaintiff Willian Wood suing former landlord-to-be/defendant Alexa Lane  for storage fees, and security deposit for a room he wanted to rent.   Defendant claims plaintiff signed the lease, and backed out at the last minute, and she wants the month's rent.  $200 security was paid to defendant, and when he couldn't get a key early, he bailed.   

Defendant said she couldn't give him a key until the lease is signed, and rent paid.    I think defendant dodged a bullet by him not moving in.    Plaintiff does not seem tied to reality.   

Plaintiff gets his $200 back, if she would have had a signed lease it would have been different.

Stranded Lazy Laborer?! (2021)-Plaintiff Terry Powell suing defendant Evon Soliman (woman)  for non-payment, and for stranding him in Florida.  Plaintiff was hired by defendant to fix water damage at their place in Florida (they both live in Connecticut).     So, defendant hired him to fix her house, flew him to Florida, pay his expenses (hotel and food), and pay plaintiff $900.       Defendant rented a suite in Florida, and both litigants stayed in the same suite/room.   After six days, defendant fired plaintiff, and paid him nothing.    Defendant also didn't pay for plaintiff's plane ticket home.   Plaintiff paid $190 for his own airfare home.    

Plaintiff gets money for his airfare home, wages, $1090.

First (2013)-Couldn’t watch these, the plumber takes priority.

Second (2013)-

Flight From Crime -Plaintiff/car owner Crystal Bowers suing defendant/other car owner Maria Delarosa for damages to plaintiff’s car from a hit-and-run.   Defendant claims her car was stolen, and she doesn’t owe plaintiff anything.  Defendant denies she was driving, but plaintiff recognizes her from the hit-and-run accident when defendant got out of her car, at her house..    

Plaintiff witness confirms what plaintiff said.  The plaintiff pulled over for a fire truck, when defendant hit her car, and defendant fled.   Plaintiff witness, and plaintiff say they followed the defendant to her home, when defendant and five or six others climbed out of the defendant vehicle.  Defendant claims her car was stolen from the nightclub parking lot, but no police report was made.

Plaintiff tried to claim on defendant’s insurance, but defendant didn’t have insurance.

Plaintiff receives $4,500 

Art Studio Garage -Plaintiff/landlord Patrick Lowery suing defendant/tenant Charly Himmel for rent and damages. Rent was $450, to rent plaintiff’s garage for an art studio.    Plaintiff wants $5,000. (This happened in Richmond, VA, and JJ suspects they wanted the free trip to L.A.)

Plaintiff claims in her three-month tenancy included a lot of garage damages, and she trespassed on his property, and used his pool.     There are no photos of the garage before or after the tenant moved in, except a few photos of damages.

There are some photos of damages in the garage roof.  He will get $450 for one month’s rent.  

Plaintiff gets $450

Teen Eviction -Plaintiff Jaylee Watman suing defendants/roommates-to-be Tommy Edwards, and his 16-year-old daughter Cheyenne Edwards because the defendants were evicted from the apartment before she moved in,  and they owed her rent.  Tommy Edwards travels five days a week for work, and he told his daughter that if she got a responsible adult to live in the apartment, she could still live in the apartment.  If the daughter couldn’t find a suitable roommate, then daughter would have to move into her mother’s house.  Defendant father claims he working in California during the week, but flies home every weekend. 

Plaintiff wants her rent back, because defendants were evicted from the apartment before she could move in.    When plaintiff came to look at apartment, only daughter was in the apartment.  Father wasn’t in town after June, and later in June defendant was evicted.   Daughter claims father paid the rent, but the defendants were evicted for non-payment of rent.  

$300 to plaintiff for the rent.  (Eviction was because of five months of unpaid rent, $2600)

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Faulty Family Business-Plaintiff Elaine Davis hired defendants (father) Jean-Michel Biro and Michael Biro (son)  to do handyman work at her house, and claims they were incompetent.   Defendants say she held their tools hostage, and tried to extort $2000 from them.    JJ has no sympathy for the defendants, and they sound like terrible contractors.   Plaintiff paid $6300 up front, and she was refunded $2,000 by defendant.     Plaintiff claims they didn’t put the rubber liner in the bathroom, and also the insulation, and redo some of the tile, and redo the ceiling.    Tile had to be redone, so did plumbing, electrician, by other contractors.

Defendant business owner is a blow hard, and I bet a lot of people never complain about him, because he's a bully.   

I love that one invoice for materials is dated the day after defendant was fired by the homeowner, and the police were called to get him off of the property.    He claims it was a boo-boo.   

Plaintiff $4,300, defendant zip. 

Second (2016)-

Horse Tragedy in Unsafe Stables-Plaintiff/horse owner Janice Tickle suing defendant /boarding barn owner Sarah Joynt 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 paid the money.     Plaintiff says she owed vet $248, and it was over six months past due, and defendant says it was owed for over a year, and was $980.   

 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 to defendant.   

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.  Horses need ongoing vet care, farrier care, hoof trims, etc. and boarding bills for proper care are expensive, and defendant paid nothing.  When someone doesn’t pay board, the defendant still had to care for the horse, feed him, and everything else).  

Plaintiff receives $1141.   A bad mistake.  So, I guess JJ thinks the defendant shouldn’t have paid the vet bill, and the horse would have died?  

Barter Fail-Plaintiffs Matthew and Dawn Fausset suing defendant Caleb Gutierrez for money owed for a truck ($3400).   $8450 is the value of a 1983 Chevy Silverado (some other models with special packages were almost twice that).    

Plaintiffs sold truck to man, and gave him the title, and 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.

JJ def got it wrong on this case.  If horses can't destroy it or get hurt from it they will poop on it.

[Taeolas]

The one I feel worst for in that horse case is the horse itself. Neither ladies came off particularly good in that case; and I think JJ ultimately decided to stick to the strict letter of the contract. 

The horse owner didn't seem to care for the horse that much, with the amount of money owed (however much it was). 

But the stable owner also didn't seem that good either. The contract itself made it clear that if the owner's vet wasn't available, they could use their own and charge the owner. But she ultimately didn't do that, so no vet fees to charge for.

I've known a lot of horse owners in my life--and horses, backyard horses, show horses, winning racehorses, rodeo and trail horses.  Most owners doctor their own horses for most things...with vet approval! Judge Judy makes herself an expert too often on things she knows nothing about.

I enjoyed today's rerun of the camel racing attorney. He continued the trend of lawyers as plaintiffs who show that they are complete assholes. He was convinced that the terms of the extra insurance (payment limited to $10K which was paid to him) he signed up for didn't apply to him.

First (2013)-

Camel Race Injuries -Plaintiff/failed Camel Rider Cole Chase suing defendants/ camel race organizers Mike Wright, Angie Erickson, and Nancy Harrington, for medical bills, after he broke his collarbone racing camels.    Plaintiff didn’t sign up for the extra insurance.    The defendants say they aren’t organizers, but it’s Virginia City, and the Virginia City Camel Racing Organization.   International Order of Camel Jockeys is the race organizer, and rent the camels, and put on the race.   

Plaintiff is suing for $5,000 to cover his medical costs, not covered by his insurance.    Mike Wright was the president of the organization when this happened, and there was insurance for the event too.   Plaintiff is an attorney and prosecutor, and works with defendants Erickson, and Harrington.   Plaintiff was invited by the two defendants to attend the races.    Plaintiff’s crash was on his second day of riding.

Plaintiff signed a liability waiver on scene before riding, with the stock provider.   This happened in Virginia City, NV, and plaintiff and two defendants are from Oregon.   (The camel and ostrich races are still going on, and it’s been happening for 60 years, but not 2020).   

The event insurance paid plaintiff $10,000.  Plaintiff says Mr. Wright’s statement is an exception to hearsay.   Plaintiff paid a $20 membership fee, that covered the insurance.    Defendant Wright says the $20 fee includes the supplemental insurance, and pays $10k for the injuries.   

Plaintiff claims the camel tripped.    Plaintiff says he had to have two surgeries, and that the supplemental insurance rejected his claims.   Plaintiff also already had a primary medical insurance policy, so I’m guessing through work. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and that plaintiff filled the paperwork out wrong isn’t the race organizer’s fault.

Bad Tenant? -Plaintiff/landlord Ronald and Lisa Kern suing defendant/former tenant Malory Elliott for moving out with unpaid rent and damages.   Defendant said her $5,000 payment was not only rent, but for a lease/purchase on the house.   Rent should have been $4800, and can’t prove she paid anyone.    Plaintiffs claims contract was with defendant, but she moved out to live with her boyfriend.   Plaintiffs claim then defendant’s brother and others moved into the house, a violation of the lease/purchase contract.   

Plaintiffs say defendant paid $1587, and partial payment for two more months, and after that her brother moved in.

When plaintiffs filed for inspection after nonpayment, they videotaped the house.   There are kid’s clothes, and male clothes in her brother’s room.    Brother was not on lease, or his two kids either.

$1200 rent to plaintiffs, taken out of $5,000 defendant paid, so $3800 to defendant.   The plaintiffs say they paid commission to the real estate agents on the sale.

$3800 to defendant.

(Why did landlords come on this show?   They usually get treated like garbage).    

Second (2013)-

Rowdy Roommates -Plaintiff Tarshianna Clark suing defendant Chantee Malone for return of furniture and personal property.   Defendant’s boyfriend is in and out of prison, and defendant wanted to move him in.   Boyfriend was in jail (Montaveon Carter) when the litigants signed the lease, Mr. Carter moved in, except he’s on parole, and can only be outside 70 miles out of town, for three days a week.   Boyfriend was on parole, but claims he hasn’t been in prison since 2011.

Plaintiff called police when boyfriend was assaulting the defendant girlfriend, but girlfriend lied about the assault.   Then, defendant illegally evicted the plaintiff.

If boyfriend had been arrested for domestic violence, 80 miles from his legal residence, he would have gone to prison.   So defendant, and boyfriend had good reason to be angry with plaintiff. 

Defendant wants 4 months rent from plaintiff for moving out early.

Plaintiff left everything behind, when she went to do laundry, and then she found she was locked out.  She wasn’t allowed to get her furniture and other possessions from the apartment.    Plaintiff is living with her witness, Miss Lisa, who testifies.   Miss Lisa assists former foster kids, and women in transition, and housed plaintiff.     Plaintiff has receipts for the furniture.

Mr. Carter is kicked out of the courtroom.   I wonder if his parole officer knows he’s at JJ’s court?   That’s way more than 70 miles I’m guessing.

(Mr. Carter has continued to be naughty after this case aired.   I wonder if defendant got a clue?)

Plaintiff gets $2700.

Vegas Trip Gone Bad -Plaintiff Sarah Fay suing defendant Johnetta Nabors for the room cost on a trip to Vegas.  The two plus plaintiff’s boyfriend were going to Vegas for a concert.  Plaintiff is 19, and defendant is 22.   Two women agreed to go to the concert in Vegas, plaintiff gave defendant $400 for half of the room cost, for herself, and the boyfriend.   Plaintiff can’t rent a motel room at 19.    Defendant didn’t receive her concert ticket, so she cancelled the trip.    Plaintiff claims she had to pay $400 more for the motel room.   

Defendant’s ex-boyfriend came back, and claims people were taking money off of her debit card, but she doesn’t know who (I bet I can guess who was doing it).   Defendant also claims someone stole her concert tickets.  There is something wrong with the defendant.  

Plaintiff receives $400.

Parents on the Run From Each Other -Plaintiff /father Ezra Masters suing defendant/mother Shanelle Martin for sabotaging his visitation and sues her for travel expenses to be with their child. Litigants have a child together.  Plaintiff says defendant was receiving support in Maryland, while living in Texas.    Defendant claims plaintiff is $9,000 or $10,000 in arrears for child support.   JJ dismisses defendant counter claim.

Plaintiff moved from California (defendant moved from L.A. to Maryland, where the child was born), and moved to Texas for work reasons.   Defendant filed for custody and visitation, and child support.   There have been three custody hearings, and the child isn’t even four yet.   Plaintiff received weekend visitations, but defendant wasn’t even at the hearing.  Then, plaintiff filed in L.A.  Plaintiff moved from L.A. to Texas.    Plaintiff had to tell defendant 30 days in advance of visits, but he didn’t.  

JJ is not granting the travel expense request, because he didn’t communicate with the child’s mother.  Plaintiff claims it was a sperm donor situation, not a family situation.

I’m not liking either litigant.    Plaintiff claims defendant was getting child support in California, and welfare in Maryland.    Plaintiff went to Maryland four times, then defendant moved to California.   Then, plaintiff claims welfare contacted him in California, and that’s how he found out defendant had move to L.A.     Then, later plaintiff moved to Texas. 

Defendant moved to California, and applied for public assistance.   Child support takes $800 a month out of plaintiff’s salary, and tax return.   Litigants go back to court after the JJ case was filmed.

Plaintiff violated the visitation order, by not notifying the defendant of visitation.  

Plaintiff and defendant claims dismissed.

Second (2016)-

Felon Gets Hustled-Plaintiff Shawn “Chris” Boykin loaned $4800 to defendant/ex-girlfriend Myesha Simms, 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, at 137% interest rate).      This was from Speedy Loan, and loan is in collections.

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.  $4800 was first and last month’s rent, and a security deposit.   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.     

JJ sends defendant to get copy of her lease.  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.  

Defendant has a boyfriend, who is her co-tenant.   Defendant claims she wasn’t dating her co-tenant, but she signed a lease with him before the loan from plaintiff, and she still lives with boyfriend in the house.    Defendant claims she's paying on the loan, has no receipts, and claims she’s paying cash. 

Plaintiff receives $0.

Intoxicated Roommate Woes-Plaintiff Scott Stone suing ex-roommate Krystin Railing 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.

Back Kicking a Toddler?! -Plaintiff/former tenant Timothy McCarty suing defendants/landlords Jillian and Salvador Delgado for illegal eviction, storage and moving fees, assault, and $300 security deposit back.   Defendant wife met plaintiff at the door, told him he was no welcome in her home, and locked him out.   However, the two children were inside the home, and he couldn’t get to his children.    Plaintiff claims he was homeless with two young children for two months.  

Defendant woman claims plaintiff assaulted her, and her daughter.   This is where the back kicking a toddler comes in to play.    Plaintiff had paid in fill for the month, and defendant woman never served any eviction notice.  Defendant woman claims plaintiff was a lodger, not a tenant.  Defendant woman claims plaintiff’s children didn’t have to be homeless, but could live with their mother.  However, that’s none of defendant’s business.  

 Plaintiff explains he works cash for a medical marijuana collective, and he gets food stamps, and G.R. (General Relief, aka welfare).     Marijuana business is usually cash only, since it’s not federally legal, just by the state (This is in North Hills, CA).  

After the lockout, defendant woman claims plaintiff broke her door, assaulted her and her child, but neither needed medical care.    Police report is unreadable.     Defendant woman claims she was reasonable (no she isn’t), and locked plaintiff out, but his two children were inside her home.  

JJ hears the audio tape that defendant woman claims supports her story, and it doesn’t.    Then, defendant starts tearing up, when JJ says defendant lied to JJ.    Tape clearly shows defendant woman as the aggressor.   JJ says defendant woman was performing for the tape. 

JJ says plaintiff should have left the house, called police, and they would have given him access to his children.   

Defendant case dismissed.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Unwed Parents Want Payback! -Plaintiffs Sunshine Brockman (mother) and Destiny Brockman (Daughter) suing defendant Katherine O’Brien, for an unpaid security deposit, and unpaid rent.  Trevor Cannon, father of Destiny’s child, Destiny Brockman, and Katherine O’Brien, all signed an apartment lease. Shelly Cannon (mother of Trevor) paid the security deposit, and is plaintiff’s witness.  Katherine only stayed for three months, and stopped paying rent at the end of May (March, April, May).      So, tenants were three litigants, and the baby.  

Defendant signed a 14-month lease, March to the next April.     Everyone breached the lease, and lost security deposit.   Defendant moved out after threatening Facebook posts to her from Shelly Cannon (Trevor’s mother).   Threats were posted right before defendant moved out.  

 Shelly Cannon actual calls JJ’s remark Crap, without being bleeped.  

Because of Shelly Cannon’s threats, plaintiffs get $477 one month’s rent, and not one cent more.   

Sister Sues Sister -Plaintiff/sister Cortnee Stampone. is suing defendant/sister Melissa Climenhaga credit card loans to pay for a laptop, and family travel.    Plaintiff let sister use her Best Buy credit card to purchase an iPad, and later a laptop, totaling just over $1000 (defendant had borrowed $10k from plaintiff earlier, and paid that back).    Defendant claims she only lived in Kentucky for a couple of months, but then says she had a business there for years, very strange.   

As usual, plaintiff claims she doesn’t have the texts.    Defendant claims she returned the laptop to the store.   Defendant claims her boyfriend was going to pay for laptop. 

Defendant has no proof of anything. Plaintiff says she can prove only $116 was paid for laptop.

I guess plaintiff and defendant watched enough JJ episodes to know they had to claim defendant borrowed and repaid money to plaintiff before.   Plaintiff gets $895 for laptop, travel expenses dismissed.

Lame Horse Trespassing-Plaintiff Tia Erickson purchased a horse from the defendants Nikki Parent (Daughter 17 years old) and Richard Parent (father), and wants purchase price of horse, and vet bills back.   Plaintiff claims horse was dead lame for the three weeks she had the horse, and she never rode the horse.    Defendant daughter rescued the horse, and wasn’t using the horse, and couldn’t use her for rodeo, so decided to sell her (I agree, if you give the horse away, often people take them right to the kill pens for money).  

There are pictures on Facebook posted with plaintiff’s boyfriend on the horse, on a trail ride.     

Plaintiff returned the horse to defendant's barn while trespassing, and defendants are suing for the vet bills of horse since she was returned.    Plaintiff claims defendants knew she was dumping horse on them, but defendants say she was lying.   Plaintiff claims she called the vet, three weeks after she purchased the horse, and finally had the vet out, and dumped the horse on the defendants.   

Plaintiff will not get a refund of purchase price.    Plaintiff waited three weeks to tell defendant she wanted to return horse, but who knows what happened during the three weeks?

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant will resell the horse.  

I'm Tired of Paying for Weed-Plaintiff Linda Bartolomeo is suing former tenant/defendant Nathaniel Wooten for rent, late fees, and damages to property.     Defendant was growing pot, because he was sick of paying for his own weed supply.    Defendant claims he paid his every two weeks rent, then admits he didn't pay for two months.  Defendant claims he owes plaintiff nothing.   

Plaintiff rented to defendant’s girlfriend, then he moved in, girlfriend moved out, and defendant signed a new lease for the trailer.  

Amended lease, signed by both parties, say that defendant will keep place in good condition, because plaintiff was trying to sell the property.     Defendant claims plaintiff was trying to sell house, so he decided not to pay the rent.    Defendant claims plaintiff knew he was growing weed at the house, and plaintiff denies that.      (I found the plaintiff's wide eyed innocent look isn't working, I think she knew about the weed growing, and probably was smoking too, even if not the product defendant was growing). 

Plaintiff receives $675 for rent.   

Second (2016)-

Engagement Ring Confusion-Plaintiff Sherman Hawthorne suing defendant Lucille Sampe for return of his engagement ring.  Engagement was broken, and defendant claims she 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 Micaela Barajas suing her boyfriend's mother/defendant Maranee Forsyth 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 /car owner Renee Turner claims bicyclist/defendant Brandon Smith 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 $3,200

Plaintiff was taking weights off of the leg press machine, when barbell landed, rolled off the platform, and hit plaintiff in the calf.    Defendant points out that gym has everyone sign waivers.    Plaintiff says accident was caught on camera, and someone at the gym office sent a written statement.   Medical costs were $ , and wants $1,000 for lost wages.   Plaintiff is going to show his bruise, and dent in his calf to JJ.  

Plaintiff receives $2,700 only for medical bills, nothing else. (In Hall-terview, defendant says

Day Care Disaster -Plaintiff Angella Scott suing defendant Stacey Hastis, for non-payment of daycare bills for two children for three days.   As always, defendant claims care was inadequate, and so she left her children there anyway?    If defendant really had concerns, why would she bring the children back?    She had the children there for the 15th, and 16th, and brought them back on the 30th. 

On the 16th, defendant claims her mother went to pick her children up, and plaintiff gave the wrong 5- year-old to the grandmother.   Then, grandmother says they gave her an infant, not the 5-year-old.  

The defendant brought her children back on the 30th, and that was the last day at daycare.   Oh no!  The Ate the Steak story again.  (this is old enough that JJ doesn't know a tablet is an iPad).  

Plaintiff receives $77.25 for the daycare bills.

Ex-Lover’s Blurred Lines – Plaintiff hairdresser/prep cook Krystal Napier loaned defendant/ex-boyfriend Sheldon DeGale money, but he calls it a gift, and she calls it a loan.     Plaintiff gave defendant $1200, later $1500 (the investment), and part was loan, and part was an investment in defendant’s marketing company.    

Plaintiff works as a cook in NYC in the summer, and lives with her mother, and is a mobile hair stylist in Florida the rest of the year.  JJ tells defendant he took advantage of plaintiff, who doesn’t seem the brightest.    Plaintiff says she drew out $2,000, had the rest available in cash.  

Plaintiff $2700 for the loan and investment which was a loan.

Dance Mom (2013 )- (This was called Dance Teacher Battle when it ran in 2013)-Plaintiff Amber Ely suing defendant/mother of dance student/dance Mom Jennifer Ladd over recital costumes ($210) and unpaid tuition ($195).   Plaintiff suing for $210 for costumes, and $65 a month, and wasn't paid for three months = $195 for the lessons, so $405.      Defendant's daughter was attending the school for three years, and left after the recital in question.   

Defendant claims she paid for April, May and June lessons, but no debit records are shown.   There are no receipts for those months either.

Defendant's witness simply won't stop interrupting either.     Defendant claims she paid for the three months, but didn't.    

(What the hell is on the defense witness's head?   It can't be hair, it looks awful.   Defendant apparently went to the same hairdresser).

New Boat Owner Fail-Boat repairman/plaintiff Roger Fountain suing client /defendant Jody McCluskey for interest, late fees, and unpaid bills for a boat repair, on a 1997 SeaDoo Challenger.   Defendant bought boat for $8,000 (As is) with accessories.  Buyer didn't have it checked by a mechanic, or ever put it in the water.   Defendant says boat had a leaky crankcase, and it needed an engine rebuild, and defendant called seller for help.   Boat has two engines, one worked, and one didn't.   

 Plaintiff worked on boat, and defendant claims someone else fixed the boat so he could use it, but defendant has no receipt of repair from another mechanic.     Defendant took boat to plaintiff, but refused to pay the bill.   

When defendant went to pick up repaired boat, there was a kerfuffle over the bill, and police were called.     Defendant told police he only brought boat in for oil change, and is absolutely lying to JJ, and lied to the police.   

Plaintiff gets $879 for fixing the boat.  

Sister Fighting DUI  -Plaintiff Chelsea McDonald (sister) is suing her sister for an unpaid loan to pay her DUI legal fees ($2105).    Defendant sister Jordan McDonald, works part time registering patients at the ER.     Defendant doesn't even comprehend anything in court, and seems to have her own script she's following.   

Before the time of the DUI the mother, and defendant were living with the plaintiff, and defendant hit something at the gas station with plaintiff's car.   Plaintiff paid a total of $2105 legal fees, and other fees for a title loan on defendant's car.  Lawyer cleared defendant’s DUI record.   

 Defendant says she no longer drives, after her insurance was cancelled.  Plaintiff says sister was caught driving under suspension, car was impounded, and plaintiff refused to bail car out, so it's gone.   JJ gives plaintiff a big thumbs up for plaintiff not bailing defendant’s car out of impound.

Malicious Call to Child Protective Services-  Plaintiff Shaun Silkwood rented trailer ($1500 total, $1000 deposit was paid), from defendants Susan Burkhart and Victor Ramirez (husband) , and was going to grow marijuana. 

Plaintiff is suing for $1,000 deposit on trailer, and fix up costs.     Defendant says he told plaintiff he was going to live in trailer.    Defendants are neighbors of plaintiff, and his mother.     Defendants said plaintiff claimed he was going to live in the trailer.   

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), friend told plaintiff to get off his property.   (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).   Plaintiff says trailer didn't have valid registration.  Defendants’ moved trailer to friend of plaintiff’s property, but the friend told plaintiff he couldn’t keep the trailer there.  

Defendant says plaintiff called CPS on them, said male defendant was meth user, and around the kids.    Plaintiff wanted his $1,000 deposit back, and then called CPS the same day.    CPS claim that an unnamed person told them that defendant husband was a meth addict, and the CPS investigator questioned the 13 and 15-year-old about meth use in the home, and around them. Plaintiff also alleged to CPS that defendant husband was making sexual remarks about underage girls.

Plaintiff is not getting his $1,000 back.   Defendants receive $3,000 for plaintiff's malicious call to CPS.    (I can’t imagine having CPS show up at your door and claim they have to investigate you.  I would have given the defendants the entire $5,000).

Horrible Tenant-Plaintiff Danita Anderson landlady suing former tenant/defendant Lavelle Trammell (yes, his first and last name rhyme) 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 has a seasonal job, and didn’t have to pay his full rent to plaintiff.    Defendant keeps swaying, and he's making me sick, but worse, JJ is getting sea sick too.     

Defendant breached lease by not paying at all in July, or 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 man 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, Maureen,  (she lives across the hall from his former apartment), heard the defendant and his witness were trashing the place.   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 Michael Tucker suing defendant Anna Gonzalez Dudareva 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, and defendant didn’t have insurance.    JJ says plaintiff should have waited for defendant to go past.   (Bad decision by JJ.   Switching lanes in the middle of intersection, or without signaling is wrong).

Case dismissed.

Soccer Fight! -Plaintiff Donovan Nelson suing defendant William Chavez over a scuffle at a pickup soccer match, and wants money for attorney fees, and defamation.    Defendant agreed not to pursue charges against plaintiff, but because that changed, plaintiff is now suing defendant.  

The two were playing soccer, plaintiff claims ball was out of bounds, and defendant got mad.  Defendant claims he was assigned to plaintiff, and plaintiff was angry.   Then 90 minutes later plaintiff claims defendant followed him for his license plate number, and was going to call the police.    A friend of plaintiff told defendant already had to hire an attorney, and would lose his coaching position if defendant pursued charges.    Defendant did pursue charges, so plaintiff filed this court case.  

Police report says defendant had an obvious red mark on his face, from plaintiff’s slap.

Plaintiff did assault defendant, and case dismissed.  Defendant gets $2500.

Clueless Crash into a Wall -Plaintiff Giezelle Bennett suing defendant/neighbor Shannon Robinson for crashing into her retaining wall, after plowing through her garden.      Defendant says day before the incident, his car was in his driveway, and he doesn’t know how it ended up in plaintiff’s yard, and wall.   But, defendant’s sworn statement says he parked at the curb in front of plaintiff’s house.  

Defendant doesn’t have liability insurance on his 20-year-old car.   (This happened in Atlanta, GA.) Defendant didn’t pay his insurance bill, so it was cancelled either the day before the accident, or the day of the accident.  Defendant was unemployed, but driving to his interviews, and on job hunting.   Insurance company sent plaintiff a letter denying the claim, because defendant’s insurance was cancelled a month before the accident.  Apparently, car flew into plaintiff’s yard.  Police came to accident, put cuffs on defendant, but released him.

Plaintiff receives $350. She already fixed the wall.  (JJ’s right, it’s a bargain at that price).

Pekingese Loses Eye to Pit Bill -Plaintiff/Pekingese owner Marvin Owensby suing defendant/Pit Bull owner /tenants Rebecca and Christopher Amell for vet bills for his injured Pekingese. Both dogs were unleashed. Defendant denies anything happened because of her dog.    Plaintiff was by the trash cans on the front walk, when defendant came out with her dog, also off-leash.   Plaintiff’s dog’s eye was gouged out (enucleated), but defendant claims her dog didn’t really do anything to plaintiff dog.    Since plaintiff was already affected by glaucoma in that eye, so further damages meant eye should be removed. 

JJ is given graphic photos of the eye after the attack. Defendant still says bills aren’t her responsibility, both were on common ground, off-leash, when defendant dog attacked.   Defendant says stress could have caused the eye to pop out.   Defendant husband wasn’t present, but still wants to put his stupid theory how this happened to plaintiff’s dog.   Defendant husband says they weren’t given the proper trash cans when they moved in, so they have to walk down the street to put their trash out, near plaintiff’s house.    Defendant calls it ‘un-inhability’, and JJ tells them to move.    Defendant wife claims she went into premature labor, and had her baby the next day.   

Plaintiff witness is obviously crying.  I hope after this plaintiff refused to renew lease of defendants, or did a 30-day notice, or whatever is legal where they are.  Plaintiff /landlord had told them on tape to move, and I hope the tenants did move.

$ 1,683 to plaintiff.

Abandoned Horse -Plaintiff Valerie Stevens/horse owner suing defendant/horse caretaker Monika Turner for return of her horse.  

Plaintiff says her truck engine blew, and she couldn’t go to feed and water horse daily, so they asked defendant to take care of her horses.   Plaintiff had horse on defendant’s property, but defendant refuses to return animal, and if defendant has to return horse she wants vet bills, and other expenses.

Plaintiff claims defendant did fund raising for her horse, illegally.    Plaintiff will pay vet bills, but there was only one visit.  $185.00.    There were $60 in farrier bills, and feed/hay $ .   However, daily feed and care of the horse was not in writing, and plaintiff claims she wasn’t allowed on the property by defendant.   Plaintiff called animal control about return of the horse.  JJ has to threaten both litigants about talking to each other, interrupting JJ, and being jerks.  

Defendant claims plaintiff will starve horse again, and claims animal control gave defendant custody of the horse.    Hate to break it to defendant, but if animal control confiscates the animal it won’t be given to defendant, but probably sold at auction, or adopted out. 

Defendant is booted out of court, and will not be paid for anything.  (This was is Ocala, FL.)

$0 to defendant, and in the next five days plaintiff will go with a marshal and pick up her animal.

When Inebriated Lovers Fight-Plaintiff Jennifer Matschi suing defendant/ ex-boyfriend Jerry Heck over a drunken fight they had.  Both claim the other started it, and threw the first piece of junk.   

 Plaintiff wants an unpaid loan for defendant's motorcycle loan refinance (original loan was 27% interest) repaid, an assault, and insurance costs.  Plaintiff took out loan, and paid off motorcycle for defendant, to refi to 4.9%, and to get $2,000 extra for plaintiff's custody battle.   

Defendant was sent title by loan company, and so he sold motorcycle back to the dealership, for $4,000.   Motorcycle loan is up to $6300, for loan, insurance, and fees.   

Defendant makes a good point, he’s 300 lbs. and if he had hit plaintiff, the police would have figured that out.  

 There was an initial fight, and police removed defendant, but did not arrest him.    After the altercation, defendant came back to plaintiff’s apartment, and she let him in, and they started throwing items at each other.    The two litigants apparently get drunk frequently, and then fight.   

Plaintiff gets $3,000, everything else dismissed.       

Bad Grandmother -Plaintiffs grandson, Craig Byrd Jr and his mother Julie Byrd are suing defendant/grandmother (maternal grandmother) Ninfa Islas over an unpaid loan to purchase a car for the grandmother's other son, Adrian.   Grandmother was supposed to sell her house, and repay the loan ($2100).     Grandmother never paid grandson, claims she doesn't owe grandson, and never asked for a loan for her other son, Adrian.   Grandson gave the money to his uncle Adrian, not to grandmother.   $2100 for grandson for loan (I don't trust grandma at all).   

Grandson claims grandmother took property from her home, that should have belonged to grandson, and daughter in law (rake, garbage cans, window AC unit, BBQ grill-smoker).     Adult son (grandmother's witness, son Alfred Medina) says smoker/grill was his, so that's dismissed.  

Grandmother lived with plaintiffs for a while, they had a kerfuffle, and grandmother wants moving expenses, first month's rent, etc. all dismissed.    Grandmother claims plaintiffs kept her Virgin Mother statue, and tools, dismissed too.    Defendant was living with plaintiff for a while, and that’s why she wants apartment deposit, moving costs, and for her property. 

$2100 to grandson for the car loan.

Four-Dog Pile-Up-Plaintiff Lora Saczawa suing defendant/neighbor Cody McMaster for vet bills from a dog fight.   Plaintiff's two dogs (German Shepherd, and Chihuahua) were not on leash, and escaped the yard.  The plaintiff puts her dogs in the back yard on a long lead, but hadn’t hooked them up yet.   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 German Shepherd dog 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, because 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.   

Plaintiff asks if defendant and witness are related, but they’re not.   Trying to claim lying and collusion by plaintiff.   Plaintiff daughter Kaysa keeps trying to claim everything was defendant’s dog’s fault, and claims her dog was on leash, and Pit Bull attacked her dog on the street (Bull pucky).

Case dismissed.  (Plaintiff still blames everything on the defendant).   

Spray Gun Mist Mess-Plaintiff car collector Brady Larkin suing defendant/fellow storage unit owner James Nelson for damages to his vehicles from paint over spray.   Plaintiff has a bunch of 70’s El Caminos, and other vehicles in his storage unit.  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 plaintiff’s paint.   I guess the Spray Paint Fairy did it?).

 

This Thursday and Friday my channel will have football, and soccer during both JJ sessions.    So, no JJ for me.

Dear JJ.  Yes, a Rhodesian Ridgeback can clear that cyclone fence easy peasy.  In fact he could probably scale a 6' fence quite gracefully.

Now do I believe he actually jumped the fence?   I don't know.   Defendant said plaintiff wanted more money even after the first lawsuit.  I sort of believe her.

Minor’s DUI Alcohol Run! -Plaintiff /car owner Audrey Boehm suing defendant/plaintiff’s son’s former friend Ben Warren  for wrecking plaintiff’s car, while defendant was drunk on a booze run.    Defendant ended up in jail.  Car was a 1999 Ford Taurus, and car has since been junked, and plaintiff claims car was $2500 off of craigslist, purchased recently.   There is no proof was salvaged, but plaintiff claims they were paid $252.00.   Blue Book on car is $1960.   Plaintiff’s son Brion Boehm says he didn’t give permission for defendant to drive the car. 

There is a recording from jail by defendant, and the transcript in the police report says defendant admits car owner didn’t know he drove car. 

$854 to plaintiff.

Brother-Sister Squabble -Brother/plaintiff Nabil Haddad suing sister/defendant Gail Haddad for several loans to help her get a divorce.  Defendant claims she owes brother nothing, but money only became loans after defendant recently came into money.   $3,000 was the first loan in November 2010.   Plaintiff tosses in comment that this was sister’s second divorce from the same husband.  Defendant says brother never gave her any money loans or gifts.

Defendant says brother never gave her $3,000.   The only thing

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Pool Table Comes Between Exes -Plaintiff Cheryl Muzinich suing defendant /ex-boyfriend Lester “Scott” Bean for the return of a pool table.  Plaintiff received pool table in divorce property split, when she moved in with defendant she brought the pool table to their home when she moved in.   They broke up, and now she wants her pool table back.   Defendant claims pool table was a gift to him.

JJ gives plaintiff three days to have a mover pick up her pool table, after that it belongs to defendant.

Second (2013)-

$15,000 Property Loss? -Plaintiff/ former tenant Heather Harville suing defendant/former landlord  Terry Dugan for return of her security deposit ($1300).    Tenants included tenant’s children 14,16, 10, 11, and her brother, his wife, one more child, two dogs, and no one except plaintiff was on the lease.   Plaintiff’s witness Russell Lewis, Sr.  signed the lease, but father Russell Lewis Sr. denies he signed, the lease, and then admits he co-signed the lease.   Plaintiff brother and the reset never paid the lease. 

There are move in and move out pictures by defendant.   Defendant says plaintiff didn’t say when she moved out, and put the keys in defendant’s mailbox, and didn’t do a walk through.    Plaintiff claims someone broke into the house, and threw junk all over.    Witness Russell Sr. claims plaintiff was sick and couldn’t clean the house, and no one else did either.     

Plaintiff claim dismissed, and defendant’s $5,000 counter claim is granted.    Defendant says appraiser said house was worth

Stolen Identity or Bitter Father? -Plaintiffs Shannon and Cecil Higginbotham III are suing defendant son Cecil Higginbotham IV for stealing the plaintiff father’s identity and opening accounts for satellite TV, and a cell phone account.   Plot twist, this only became an issue when defendant/son and father had an issue, because son posted that father was a lousy father.    Defendant says insurance settlement on sister’s house, where satellite dish was installed, should have paid the satellite company for the dish.  Cell phone account was when son was living with father for a few months, and son would pay the bill.

Then son did a video and article about his father, and son’s life in foster care.    Son was in foster care when father was in the U.S., and in the military, and 10-year-old son was dumped into foster care.  That’s when father cancelled cell phone service, and son no longer had access to account to pay it.       

Plaintiff receives $1,212.

$100,000 Dog Attack Nightmare-Plaintiff Tasha Jones suing neighbor Tosha Bell, over defendant's Rhodesian Ridgeback attacking her, and the usual harassment claim. Plaintiff says the dog got loose, and frightened plaintiff and her one-year-old child, and both fell.    Plaintiff says dog was let out, in the fenced yard, and dog was trying to get over fence.    Fence looks like a 4 ft chain link, and that's nothing for a Rhodesian Ridgeback to go over, even a young one.   

Plaintiff says dog jumped over the fence, and then wiggled back through gate.   (Personal note-I've known a lot of people with Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and their fences were very tall.    A Ridgeback that hopped over a 4 ft chain link fence would just hop back, not have to wiggle back through a gate.)

Plaintiff says her older daughter was previously bitten repeatedly, and had several stitches.  That dog also belonged to defendant (that dog went to live with grandpa on the farm, which we all know means a dirt nap for doggy).   Plaintiff was suing for $100,000. That case was settled for $51K, but it was $38K after fees.   Homeowner's insurance was cancelled after the claim, and there is no more insurance.       (Plaintiff bringing the older daughter to court to be a living exhibit is despicable.   Older daughter looks very sad in court.  Putting your child on exhibit in court is not right).  

Plaintiff in this case was in her driveway, and hurt her leg trying to get the one-year-old out of the way, and also wants money for the one-year-old's injuries when plaintiff threw her out of the way.     Defendant witness is the defendant's younger daughter, who wasn't the witness that day.  Defendant's older daughter was the witness, but she didn't come to court.   (Defendant needs to get rid of that mustache, and get a better wig). 

Plaintiff and defendant are whining about which daughter saw what. Defendant has six daughters.    (To paraphrase Judge Marilyn Milian, "I wouldn't believe any of the litigants or witnesses if their tongues were notarized".)     

I find it interesting that plaintiff has animal control reports, but can't open them, so has no proof.     JJ talks to the daughter of defendant, who claims the dog was never outside of the fence.  (I'm guessing that if plaintiff had a case, that some personal injury lawyer would have gone after the defendant, but there is no proof). (Note to JJ, if you have a settled dog bite in your past, then no insurance company will ever give insurance coverage for any animal you own ever again. So, even if defendant gets homeowner’s insurance, that will exclude any animals she owns.)  (JJ has no idea of the characteristics of a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and calling a Rhodesian Ridgeback a ‘medium-sized dog’ is ridiculous, and  a four-foot fence wouldn’t hold that dog).

Plaintiff claims one of defendant’s daughters came in her yard to fight her.  Defendant claims plaintiff and her children have been “mean mugging” her, and her children.    JJ calls defendant’s oldest daughter, who says dog was never outside of fenced yard.

Case dismissed, there is no proof of any dog attack, or escape.  

Second (2016)-

Parent of the Year in the Hot Seat- Plaintiff Shaylynn Stelly suing ex-boyfriend /defendant Jonathan Fried for car parts he charged to her credit card, and never repaid, defendant admits to $1200 to $1500 charged to plaintiff.    Plaintiff is a care giver for $8.00 an hour, and defendant claims to make $500 to $800 a week, off the books.   (No JJ, plaintiff witness mom doesn't look like the plaintiff's sister, and needs a few teeth replaced.   And plaintiff's big heart chest tattoo is ludicrous).   

 And defendant is a Sainted Single Father of Two (SSFOT) a four- and five-year-old, and has full custody,  and has a drag race car as a hobby.  The drag car is his five-year-old's dream.   Charges were $1200 to $1500 for the parts, and the car didn't even race.   JJ threatens to put a lien on the race car.   Defendant claims he was parent of the year for the local school district.

Defendant just called her "Miss Judy", and when JJ hears that, she looks at Officer Byrd, and I hope Byrd removes him from the Earth.   

The parts were for the race car for the Vegas nationals, but it wouldn’t have run anyway.

 JJ says that there is an IRS agent assigned to watch her show, and take care of people who cheat the government.    Defendant kept using credit card online, and then cut her off, when she shut him out from using her credit cards.   

$1500 to plaintiff.  

Runaway Pit Bull Puppy-Plaintiff Blanca Lomeli suing defendant/neighbor Shannon Sterba  for return of a pit bull puppy.  Plaintiff bought pit bull puppy from her sister-in-law (witness).   

SIL says dogs are purple ribbon registered with OT bullies (United Kennel Club), that registers everything.   SIL owns both bully parents, and doesn't know when the puppies were born, or anything else.  None of the puppies ever went to the vet, and plaintiff witness/breeder claims she sold the puppies for $500 each.    Plaintiff had the puppy for about six weeks, and he was left outside all of the time, and escaped.   

Defendant found dog before it was lost according to plaintiff's time line.    Plaintiff didn't call any authorities about lost puppy, and never took dog to vet once (dog was about six to seven months old at this time).   Defendant took puppy to vet, had shots done.  Plaintiff either wants dog back, or $500 she 'paid' for the dog.   

Defendant keeps puppy, and plaintiff gets $100.

She had on a crooked wig and drug store lipstick, but didn’t have sense enough to shave her thick ass mustache.

She looked like a detective who had to go undercover as a woman but fucked it up. TOM SELLECK COULD NEVER.

She had six daughters, all of whom had prescription medicine names, and three dogs. I was like baby that’s why your shit is peaching…the peach fuzz is fucking you up. Like for real.

First (2013)-

Pool Pierced by Arrow -Plaintiff Thomas and Rachelle Neddo suing defendant/next door neighbor Joshua Damron for above ground pool damages caused by arrows defendant, and his friends were shooting.    Defendant can’t even try to deny what happened. 

Plaintiff husband says defendant said the pool hole looked like an arrow hole.     Plaintiffs say there’s a low spot in the fence, so defendant or friends could hop the fence and retrieve their arrows.  You can only get in back yard at plaintiff’s by going through plaintiff’s house, having the gate unlocked, or hopping over the fence.  There are arrow holes in the tree next to pool, and on plaintiff’s side of the fence, and fence has a ton of arrow holes in it.  

Who the hell does JJ think shot the arrow that hit the pool side?   Unless plaintiffs pulled the arrows out of the fence, or tree, then defendant and his friends did do it by coming in the plaintiffs' yard. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, apparently Cupid shot the arrows, and retrieved them.

The Blame Game -Plaintiff/former tenant Tamara Roberts suing defendants/former landlords Kevin and Tasinda Jones left after 10 months, on a 12-month lease, and wants her security deposit back.   Plaintiff claims she never signed the lease, and none of the litigants have a signed 12-month lease, and that makes plaintiff a month-to-month tenant, who didn’t technically leave early.   

Plaintiff keeps claiming the house was awful, backed up sewers, mold, and a myriad of other issues.    If it was so awful, why didn’t she move?    (I know I sound like JJ, “Move!”).      Plaintiff claims she paid every month’s rent, but landlord says plaintiff didn’t pay rent in May (her last month).    JJ gets the receipts, but husband landlord won’t stop commenting.    Landlord wife says she just ignores husband when he won’t stop chiming in.     Plaintiff is determined to owe one month’s rent, in the counter claim.

Plaintiff will get $35, for not paying rent, and that’s what left of her security deposit.    Since, no proof of one month’s rent payment, and defendant’s counter claim, landlords will keep security deposit.   Plaintiff would also leave her 13 or 15 year old son alone for days at a time.   

There was no notice of plaintiff’s move out, until the day after she left. 

Everything dismissed.   Plaintiff just wouldn’t shut up.

Second (2013)-

Dog Bites Baby Shower! -Plaintiff Arnissha Delaney suing defendant Rolanda Anthony-Smith for pain and suffering, after a dog bite before plaintiff’s baby shower.   Defendant says plaintiff has loud parties all of the time, and claim plaintiff killed her cat.  Plaintiff says defendant is delusional.   The two litigants live side-by-side, and have had a lot of issues in the 18 months they lived in the houses.    Defendant is upset about plaintiff parking in front of defendant’s house on the street, but plaintiff claims she only parked there once.     Defendant says the parking pests are plaintiff’s teenager, a couple of cousins, and a couple of little kids, and others.   Plaintiff and her three kids live in the house, and she denies the other people live there.  However, plaintiff later says her cousin lives with her, there are a bunch of kids, and various other relatives. 

Plaintiff parked in front of defendant’s house, when defendant’s dog that was being walked broke the leash, or pulled the leash loose from the dog walker, and ran up and bit plaintiff on the leg.     

Plaintiff went to the emergency room in the middle of the night, long after the dog bite, and baby shower ended.   Medical records say a 2 cm. ( JJ pronounces it as “sonti-meter) scratch.  So, dog bite happened, plaintiff went to her baby shower, and didn’t go to the hospital until right after midnight.  Plaintiff claims she went to labor and delivery first, and then ER.    

Plaintiff claims a police officer told her to go to the ER.     Defendant is counter suing for death of her cat, and quarantine costs for her dog (JJ dismisses the quarantine, and cat killing).   Defendant claims plaintiff constantly has wild parties, blocks her driveway constantly, and is a terrible neighbor.

Plaintiff will get medical bills, but no pain and suffering. 

$568 to plaintiff.

Public Assistance Lost! -Plaintiff Catherine Mosko (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Two) suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Jonathan Limbeck, over losing her public assistance for housing, because he wouldn’t write a statement that he didn’t live with her.    Defendant needed to give plaintiff a statement of where he lives, and that he no longer lives with defendant, so she can try to get her public housing assistance back.   Plaintiff had Section 8 housing, with all of the rent paid by Officer Byrd.   Plaintiff lived in free government house since 2012 when the baby was born, until she had to pay full rent.   

Plaintiff moved defendant into her Section 8 housing, with their child, and her child from another relationship.   Because defendant moved in, plaintiff lost Section 8, and she wants defendant to pay half of her rent that she now has to pay.   JJ is trying to get defendant to do a statement to the housing authority, saying he no longer lives with plaintiff.     Defendant was the live-in baby sitter for both kids.

Plaintiff is suing for $3600 in rent.   Plaintiff claims defendant cheated on her with her best friend.  Plaintiff wants defendant to pay her rent, not happening.   Now JJ will get a statement from defendant saying he’s not living with plaintiff (statement is useless, it’s after the 10-day Section 8 deadline).

My question is why Section 8 would give the subsidy back to plaintiff, after she broke the rules?   I bet it’s not the first time she broke the rules either. 

Plaintiff needs a bill or lease with defendant’s name on it to get the rent subsidy back, but that was within the 10 day deadline, after she was notified that she had to pay the entire rent.

Plaintiff case dismissed, she says it’s too late to get a statement or other proof.

First (2016)-

Debutante Dud  -Plaintiff Kimberly Williams runs a tutoring, debutante non-profit organization, and is suing Capone DeLeon, videographer for doing a bad video, and bad photographs for the debutante ball.  Defendant was paid $500.   

There was supposed to be a winter wonderland background on the still photos, and everything else would have the same background added to the video.  Plaintiff told defendant he would make extra money by selling photos to the teens, and their family.    Back drop was purchased by the plaintiff, but too late to arrive.   A green background was used, but it can be altered easily.  The green screen can be changed to any background you want, they do this for photography all of the time.

There were only four debutantes.   I still fail to understand how the debutante ball and program, is a non-profit, but charges registration fees ($400 each debutante), and from profit from the ball.   Plaintiff received photos, and video.   There was no written contract, and the defendant fulfilled what was required of him by plaintiff.   Emailed 'contract' doesn't mention back drop, editing of video, or several other things plaintiff wanted, but it was signed electronically by both parties.   

Total price was supposed to be $1200, but because of the extra photo purchases by debutantes, photographer discounted the price to $500.  Photographer was supposed to sell photos to the debutantes and families, and make money from that, so that’s why the $500 price, discounted from the usual $1200 fee. 

Video looks fine to me.   So, the girls provide their own dresses, gloves, hair styling, makeup, etc.   I don’t see how this benefits anyone.

Case dismissed. 

Cars Held Hostage-Plaintiff Walter Strickland suing ex-girlfriend/defendant Angela Nitsche for return of two vehicles, or the value of them.  Plaintiff claims defendant borrowed money to purchase a car, which she put in her name.    Then defendant took a car into the mechanic for him, and the car has been non-operating for two years now, and plaintiff wants something for this one too. 

 Everything dismissed, because it was all ridiculous.  

Second (2016)-

Fishing Frenzy-Plaintiff Eric Zelien suing over defendant Don Ahley, for defendant's charter fishing boat hitting his boat, in the Pacific (it was a big enough ocean for both boats), and damage to plaintiff's boat by defendant's crew.  Defendant chums the water to attract fish for his paying passengers.   

Plaintiff tagged along with his personal boat, because he hoped the fish would be plentiful nearby.     There are pictures showing lots of private, and charter boats in the area.    Then, crew used a big lure (looks very heavy), to damage the plaintiff's boat motor cowling (cover).   

My view is that plaintiff was dangerously close to defendant’s boat, and interfering with his charter operation.    He’s lucky that one of these days he’ll get too close to a big boat, and have to swim for it. 

$1382 is the part for the motor, and paint etc. extra.  $1500 to plaintiff.    

Family Reunion Food Fail- Plaintiff Danita Wilkinson suing caterer/defendant Michael Davis  over inadequate food for a family reunion.   Plaintiff wants $1250 back.   At the price agreed on, I don't see why plaintiff would expect anything better. 

 The plaintiff expected the caterer to supply food for several meals, including set up, and clean up, plus plates and such, for 50 people.    There were supposed to be three meals, for 50 each, (breakfast, BBQ, and another meal) totaling 150 meals.   

Plaintiff agreed to pay $2500 for this for $16 per person, including food, preparation, silverware, cutlery, set up, clean up, etc., plus he had an assistant too.    Plaintiff didn't get additional food, but complains the food was store bought, and wasn't everything she wanted prepared.   For $2500 and $16 per person plaintiff wanted fresh fruit salad, deep fried turkeys, etc.   

Plaintiff gets nothing, and deserves exactly that.  I can only imagine how much a caterer would charge for the meals the plaintiff wanted, and it wouldn't be $16 a person.

If I wanted/needed a "registered" purebred dog, I would insist on AKC registration.  STILL, UKC does exist and registers thousands of dogs.  It's just another of Judge Judy's typical "I know all" attitude.  If SHE doesn't know about it (just like "evidence") it doesn't exist!  She's a crack-up.

She really got that one wrong.  In obedience trials in years past dogs had to jump 1 1/2 times their wither height.  She really should do some research on certain cases.  I don't know if the dog jumped the fence in that case but they sure are capable.

Bad Check, Bad Friend? -Plaintiff Kathy Carter suing defendant/neighbor Stacey Williams (SSMOF Sainted Single Mother of Four) over a bad check ($1992) that defendant asked plaintiff to deposit in her checking account.   Plaintiff says bank couldn’t cash check because defendant’s account had no money in it.   Defendant claims when she moved to Maryland 30-years-ago, and didn’t get a birth certificate to get another ID, after she left her purse on a bus.    Plaintiff claims defendant told her that her ID expired.    Defendant lives off of her fiance, and intermittent child support for her four kids.     Defendant has a trust fund from their father, through FedEx, and the money never arrived.

Defendant lives in Maryland, and fiance lives in Kansas.    Fiance is an independent truck driver, and appears in court, he claims he pays everything in cash.   If he needs a check, he does a money order instead.    Fiance is trying to say he tries to keep his tax withholding right, so he doesn’t owe the government anything, and doesn’t get a refund.

Plaintiff says she bought a $635 phone, but returned it, minus the restocking fee, gave defendant $750 cash,   Plaintiff called about the bank account, and routing numbers, and everything was bogus.    Plaintiff claims defendant tried to convince her, and bank that she did have enough in her account to cover the check.   

So far, plaintiff is out $900, and then defendant gave her a check for $1600 and Wells Fargo refused to cash it.    

$900 to plaintiff, and now we can stop hearing about plaintiff working 7 days a week. 

Baby Daddy Debt -Plaintiff /SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Two with defendant) suing defendant/ex boyfriend/father of her children, Mitchell Brown for credit card debt accumulated while they lived together, $7,000 total (she wants $3500 from him).   They never married, or had a legal dissolution of their mutual debts and assets.   They lived together for seven years.

Plaintiff refuses to admit that the bills on her credit card are hers to pay, since defendant wasn’t an account holder.   How is JJ supposed to split seven years of bills up?  Defendant was not the primary card holder on any credit card. 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Second (2013)-

Assaulted by a Parrot! -Plaintiff/former roommate Anna Thompson suing defendant/parrot owner/former roommate Breanna Jusola-Macko over a parrot bite to plaintiff’s face.   Plaintiff wants her medical bills paid, and punitive damages, $1777.    The litigants have known each other for over four years.    Plaintiff moved in with defendant in defendant’s apartment.   There was no rental agreement.  

There was a third roommate, who is defendant’s witness.    After coming home from hospital, plaintiff moved out to her grandparent’s house.    Parrot wasn’t at apartment when plaintiff moved in.   Plaintiff claims bird attacked defendant, the bird sitter (parrot was at bird sitter’s place for a year), and then plaintiff.    Parrot was only in apartment from April 2013, until the bite.   Defendant lies about parrot being in apartment when plaintiff moved in.

Plaintiff says bird latched onto her lip, and face, it’s an Amazon Blue Headed parrot.    Plaintiff pulled bird off of her face, and threw the bird away from her, and then bird went after plaintiff’s hands, and when plaintiff got away from parrot, plaintiff went to the hospital.  Photos of plaintiff’s hands and face are horrible.   Plaintiff witness (Saucie Anderson) confirms what plaintiff says about the attack she witnessed.   Plaintiff and witness say defendant’s mother (who is another resident of the apartment) was in the living room when the attack happened.  

Defendant/parrot owner says she wasn’t present at the attack, but her mother was present, and defendant claims plaintiff was teasing the bird the day before.      Defendant witness, her mother, claims Duchess the bird didn’t bite plaintiff.

$1700 to plaintiff for medical bills, and punitive damages.

Bike and Car Collision -Plaintiff/bike rider Monica Riche suing defendant/car driver Jennifer Mountjoy for hitting plaintiff’s bicycle with the car driven by defendant.     Plaintiff claims defendant had a stop sign, plaintiff was coming from the right side (passenger side) on the sidewalk, and when plaintiff started out from the sidewalk, defendant hit her, and her bicycle.    Plaintiff claims she was directly in front of defendant’s car, not at the side of the street.   Plaintiff says she was under the car bumper when she was hit.  Plaintiff carried her bike home after the accident, saying it “was like I was carrying a friend from the battlefield”.

Defendant’s story is that she was at the stop sign, and claims defendant ran into her car, and defendant claims she didn’t hit the plaintiff.

Bike shop estimate for two tires, and other damages, is submitted.    JJ says plaintiff was hit by defendant.    

$500 to plaintiff.

Sick Boxer Puppy Scam-Plaintiff/ puppy buyer Steven Lightner suing defendant/seller Brandi Ponchot  over a sick puppy Boxer (puppy survived), and wants vet bills ($1700), and cost of puppy ($300). 

Puppy was only nine weeks, and defendant bought puppy from someone else a week before.   Plaintiff claims puppy had worms, and parvo.  Plaintiff says puppy was sick soon after purchase, and taken to vet four days after purchase.   

Defendant says plaintiff wanted $1700 in vet bills. 

Defendant claims puppy had shots (breeder did these), and was wormed.    There is no contract or guarantee, stating shot history, health records, etc.       Defendant also claims plaintiff wanted almost $2,000 for vet bills.    Defendant says her 4-year-old Boxer didn’t get along with puppy, so she sold it to another home.    Plaintiff claims puppy had parvo, but defendant’s older Boxer, and her witness’s dog were together with puppy, and didn’t get sick, and Parvo is really contagious. 

Plaintiff did not go to vet immediately.     My guess, they changed the puppy’s food, and water source, and that could have made the puppy sick too.    After three full days with puppy, the next day plaintiff took the puppy to the vet.    Because of the lack of written contract, or guarantee, the case is not viable. 

When puppy was sick, plaintiff said he would gladly give dog back to defendant for a full refund.    Plaintiff didn’t know the puppy was sick for three full days after he bought it, and only took puppy to vet on day four.     Plaintiff would have to prove puppy was sick, and she knew it.    There is no written guarantee.

Plaintiff claims defendant tried to get out of repaying money by faking her own death, and her children’s deaths.

Case dismissed.  

Baby caught in the Middle-Plaintiff Raymond Benson suing defendant /ex-fiance Vanessa Balini Lee, for return of wedding ring set, and a tablet.   Rings are returned in court.    Plaintiff also wants credit card charges made by defendant on his card returned (that's not happening). 

Defendant also is restricting the visitation of plaintiff with their child, because she dislikes the plaintiff, but JJ lacks jurisdiction in visitation.    Both litigants keep chiming in, and I hope their cases are dismissed, and booted.   Officer Byrd is standing between the litigants.   They can’t even act like civil adults on TV court, so I’m guessing their off TV actions are even worse.

Tablet and rings returned to plaintiff, so his case is over.   

Defendant gets her dining room table, and some mirrors from plaintiff, and with an escort within five days.  This stupid case is now over.    

Second (2016)-

Annulled and Angry-Plaintiff Kevin Landen suing defendant Robin Lindquist over car purchase.   Litigants had their marriage annulled, and plaintiff says it's because defendant hid that she was mentally unbalanced (in my opinion, they're both nuts).   They married were together for three months, split, went back to living together in a rental house.   

Then, plaintiff bought old Mustang for defendant (while they were married),  car was $2400, and rental house lease was during marriage also.   The papers JJ receives are to have defendant removed from the rental apartment/house, so defendant doesn't owe rent.    Everything goes back to the annulment papers, and the lack of property demands by either litigant.   All financials were settled in the annulment hearing, so it won’t be retried in JJ’s court.  If they wanted a property settlement, and debts, then they would have had to file for divorce, not an annulment.

Case dismissed. 

Marijuana Insult-Plaintiff /landlord Robert Fiorentino bought house with defendants Joseph Brown and Norman Cook IV, already as tenants (they lived there for four years total).   

Lease became month-to-month, and tenants stayed into the second month after lease term expired.    Plaintiff claims police came and removed a lot of drug paraphernalia from the tenants' apartment.   Tenants were up to date on rent, because security was used for that.   

Police report about drug paraphernalia found in the apartment are submitted, and because of Pennsylvania law, landlord couldn't remove the left behind furniture, and stuff tenant left, including major amounts of furniture.   So, landlord couldn't rent apartment for an extra month.   

Case dismissed.

Hostile Defendant Thrown Out of Court! -Plaintiff /landlord Susan Brumfeld suing defendants Aaron Brumfield (stepdaughter) and her boyfriend Anthony Martin, plaintiff wants utilities, unpaid rent, and left lots of damages.  Martin defendant gets booted out of court for being a smart ass.    

Martin defendant doesn’t even know when he moved into the plaintiff’s property.   Stepdaughter defendant says when they moved in, and it was almost a year before Martin defendant says.

Defendant Brumfield was supposed to pay $750, and claims she was late on three months, and claim her dad paid $1950 for the 3 months.   So, $975 charged against defendant Martin, his half of the rent for three months.   So, $975 charged against defendant Brumfield.    Brumfield step daughter is a former nanny, and Martin is a laborer.  Electric utility payment was a month behind, and water bill.    Defendant Brumfield has three children with defendant Martin, and she has two more children by someone else.   Defendant Brumfield gets disability for Bipolar, and children get child support.  The two kids by some other man live with the father, so no more child support.

Photos by plaintiff Brumfield of house garbage, and damages.    Father of defendant Brumfield denies he told the daughter to leave everything, and he would take care of it.    $1080 was the cost to clean up, and repair house.

1961 Comet Custody -Plaintiff Michaele Annen suing defendant Stephen Zazilenski, for a bus ticket, $150,  to buy a car defendant was selling, and return of deposit, $100.    Before plaintiff went to pick up the car, defendant called, and told plaintiff car was sold.     Plaintiff wants $150 for transportation, and his deposit back. 

Second buyer who actually bought the car was after plaintiff put down the deposit, and bought the bus ticket.   Price of car was $1500.   Defendant’s sworn testimony to court, and his live testimony to JJ are diametrically opposed, meaning he’s a liar, and has been exposed to 10 million people as a scammer.

Plaintiff was sent the bus ticket amount, $150, by defendant, and the $100 deposit, so why is he in court? Plaintiff received the money through Paypal after he filed the small claims case.   So, that’s all that plaintiff will get.

$0 to plaintiff.

Never Mix Friends and Finances -Plaintiff /former roommate Jessica Ferrigno suing defendant/ former roommate Cassandra Pollard-Soto for unpaid rent, and damaged property, a laptop.  It was only a one bedroom, one bath place.   Defendant was on lease, but plaintiff kicked her out anyway.    

The litigants were high school buddies, in Florida.   Plaintiff moved to New York after high school, so defendant asked plaintiff to move to Florida and room with her.    Agreement was to split the rent in Hollywood, Florida, first month, and security was supposed to be paid by defendant.    Defendant didn’t pay rent, security, or have any furniture.   Apartment was in Hollandale FL, not Hollywood, FL.      Defendant claims she paid $675 first month’s rent, and security deposit.  Defendant was only signatory on lease.  However, defendant left apartment, even though she was the only legal tenant.    Defendant didn’t pay rent for three months.  

Defendant says plaintiff and plaintiff witness were both roommates, and told defendant to leave.   Plaintiff claims defendant told her to leave the apartment.   

Everyone was sleeping three on a king-sized bed, and plaintiff witness had her stuff in the apartment, but stayed with her boyfriend.    

Plaintiff claims defendant baby sat for a relative’s kid, and came home and the kid was sitting on the laptop keyboard, there was melted cheese on the computer, and Coca-Cola was spilled all over, including on the computer.

Plaintiff witness, roommate #3 was invited by defendant to stay in apartment for free. 

Security deposit was lost.

$675 to plaintiff.

Bad Engine, Bad Blood -Plaintiff/ Stephani Gonzales suing defendant/soon to be ex-brother-in-law of plaintiff witness.    Plaintiff loaned defendant $1,200 to buy another car, but it wasn’t a loan, but a gift.   Defendant claims the money was a gift, until he separated from plaintiff’s sister, and they were divorcing.

Defendant claims plaintiff is receiving a multi-million-dollar settlement from an accident, and doesn’t need the money.   In his sworn statement defendant says money was a loan.  Defendant say wife didn’t walk out on him, but they broke up because plaintiff witness/former wife was cheating on him with several others.   How embarrassing for the three children to hear this on TV.  Hall-terview defendant puts in another shot about ex-wife and other men.

Arrest Him for Fraud- Plaintiff Charles Griffth suing defendant Scott and Debra Fitzgerald for repayment of money ($5400) paid to defendant to buy him a truck.  Defendant is disabled, and wife is a debt collector.     Defendant says the car buying business was only for a short time.  

Defendant buys vehicles for people.       Defendant never found a truck for the plaintiff, but didn't repay the $5,400.   Plaintiff borrowed $4,000 from his landlord, which he would pay back with his wife’s accident settlement check for $10,800.    Then, the offer of the $5400 truck was made by defendant, and plaintiff paid the other $1400 over a few weeks, to defendant.  

 Defendant offered his truck to plaintiff for the money, but there was a $4,000 title loan on the truck, so it couldn't be registered.  (A Title Max lien is $10 a day interest = $300 a month).   

Plaintiff's witness is another victim of defendant's car buying scheme, and is owed $1400.  Defendant is counter suing for $5,000 for an assault, and harassment.  

JJ will send TItleMax the check for the lien, $3600, and plaintiff will get a free and clear title.   The $1400 left goes to the plaintiff's witness, who was also scammed.  For some reason D.A. and police refuse to do something about this fraudster.  (My guess is defendant or wife is related to someone with connections.)

Pay Me Back Auntie-Plaintiffs Ricky and Jessica Salazar suing his Aunt/defendant Eliza Rodriguez for giving her a home and unpaid rent, health care (Care credit charges), and a car tolls on a leased car, and car damages.  Car damages were never charged to plaintiffs, so that’s dismissed.      Aunt was going to be homeless, and aunt moved in with son, into plaintiff's house for $500 a month (plaintiff wife has fluorescent purple hair, and a red sweater, my eyes are hurting from the clashing colors).   

Defendant used over $705 on Care credit from plaintiff, and repaid some, but still owes $695.   Plaintiff leased a car, and loaned it to defendant, and defendant was supposed to get a loan for car, but never did.   Tolls were on leased car, $280.   $973 total so far.   Most of the tolls were when the litigants were in the car together.  

In the hall-terview defendant says nephew put a knife to her neck, and was arrested for it.  Plaintiff nephew says it’s a closed case, and won’t be discussed here.

$973 to plaintiff.

Second (2016)-

Brother vs. Sister-Plaintiff/sister Marlisa Thomas says she sold non-running car to defendant/brother Devon Thomas for $500, and brother didn't pay her for car, and plaintiff wants unpaid tickets brother is responsible for. 

Brother originally bought the car used, gave car to plaintiff/sister and car was originally purchased by the brother for $1300.   Brother said car was gift, got car running, and sold it., and sister now wants $500 for the car.  Plaintiff claims 1991 car was worth $1300, on KBB. 

Plaintiff had a bunch of tickets on car, since it was at brother's house, but still registered in plaintiff's name.   The tickets were because registration expired four months before plaintiff gave car to defendant.  Tickets all were because plaintiff didn’t renew the registration.  

 Plaintiff case dismissed, because it's ridiculous. 

A House Divided-Plaintiff/father Sherman Higgins suing his son/defendant Joshua Higgins for substandard and unfinished work on father's house.    Plaintiff paid $1800 to another company to fix water leak, and claims there were additional damage from son's negligence.   

Plaintiff gets nothing, because he deserves nothing.

Family Furniture Fight -Plaintiff /sister Shawntae Foster suing defendant/brother Shawn Foster for ruined furniture, and unpaid rent, ($4,000) after they leased an apartment together.    Plaintiff walked in and found two naked women on the couch, with brother.  Brother says it was a photo shoot.    Plaintiff claims her brother has a history of beating the women relatives when he doesn’t get his way. 

Plaintiff told brother to leave, she left for a while,  and then other sister told plaintiff brother was throwing her stuff out by the curb, and neighbors were shopping through her stuff.     So, plaintiff went back to the apartment.    Brother claims the two women were wearing some lingerie, and weren’t naked. 

Plaintiff now lives with sister witness, and paid the last two months of the lease.  Plaintiff is also knocked up, but can’t live with together with her boyfriend (OK, why not?  incarcerated? Married? Mom won’t let her move in? Halfway house?), they just can’t live together.  

(My guess is brother’s type of cigar was weed or something in it).  Plaintiff is an elderly care provider.

JJ dismisses everything.

Fighting Cousins -Plaintiff/cousin Carolyn Hannah suing defendant/cousin Keia Hannah  Plaintiff is completing her degree.   Plaintiff received a $7,000 school refund check, and defendant cousin wanted a loan $4700.    Plaintiff was also going to receive a check after settling her mother’s estate.

(Personal note: plaintiff’s purple lipstick is hideous.   I’m glad that fashion is over).   JJ doesn’t understand why the $7,000 refund on school loan happened.   I’m guessing if they’re loans, it will have to be paid back. 

Defendant wanted the money for a car loan.   JJ wants a copy of the check that plaintiff gave to defendant for $4700, bank records say nothing but the amount.   Plaintiff gave two checks $3,000, plus $2,300, and defendant paid $ back, leaving $4,700.  Plaintiff couldn’t get copies of the checks (it’s a school “bank”, and they closed today).

JJ dismisses the case without prejudice to go back to the local small claims, and tells plaintiff to get the copies of the checks. 

Second (2013)-

Too Much Marijuana -Plaintiffs Samantha Gunter, and boyfriend Abanasha Ganamole, suing defendants   Kelsey Gunter and her boyfriend Percy Pryor.     Two plaintiffs, and Kelsey Gunter signed the lease, but not the boyfriend of defendant (he’s a convicted felon).    Plaintiff woman had a baby, and when she got home from the hospital, she said no smoking or drugs in the house.

 Every roommate claims the other is smoking weed, selling weed, and using other drugs. Plaintiffs didn’t smoke in the house after the baby.   However, defendants wouldn’t stop.   Plaintiffs moved out, and when woman went back with a U-Haul to get her property, defendants wouldn’t let her in the house.

Defendant man texted plaintiff woman, and said she had to wait until 10 p.m.      How nice, Percy Pryor is another student, I guess it’s student day on JJ.   Defendants claim they gave checks and cash to plaintiff woman, to put in her account, but sister’s work check bounced, so plaintiff’s rent check bounced.     Plaintiff wants her bed and table, or $1,000+ for half of everything in the house.

Defendants put the bed in the garage, and then tossed in the rain, but this was two months after plaintiffs moved out, didn’t pay January’s rent.    

Plaintiff man won’t shut up, so his case is dismissed.   

Defendants say everyone was selling dope.  Plaintiff man claims the defendant were selling weed, coke, and meth.

$625 for rent to defendants, plaintiff case dismissed.

Ex-Lover Battle -Plaintiff Emma Rae Miladinovich suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Robert Guitar for   property damages, custody of a dog after they broke up after living together.      They’re also fighting over the dog, that case goes first, defendant wants the dog, but this has been after a year of dog in plaintiff’s custody.  Why did they both wait a year to bring this to court?    

The two litigants have been in court for a year, over the dog, restraining orders, property.    Plaintiff received the property, so that was adjudicated, and it won’t be reheard.

Case is over, everything is dismissed, because the litigants had their day in court already.

I Love You, but I Don't Owe You-Plaintiff Sharon Reynolds suing defendant/former friend Theresa Barksdale over unpaid loans to pay defendant’s bills.   

Defendant has the most facial tattoos and piercings I've seen in a long time, and her teenage daughter (named Seven) is following in her tattooed footsteps.  How does Ms. Barksdale get through metal detectors?  

 Plaintiff claims she loaned defendant $2000 until defendant's SSI started, with back payments.  Plaintiff says she's been helping defendant for over 13 years now.  Ms. Barksdale received back SS Disability checks of $2,163, and $2714, I think Ms. Barksdale might get disability, but I’m not sure.    Defendant says plaintiff never gave her money, just a place to live, food.   The Legal Aid attorney worked on her civil case.   In prior criminal cases, defendant had court appointed attorneys. 

Defendant claims she was given a legal aid attorney, when plaintiff sued her for $6,000, my guess is defendant, Theresa Barksdale, is no stranger to the legal system.   

Defendant says she repaid $1300, and gave plaintiff $2,000 out of the back social security payments.

Defendant says she was homeless.  Defendant also has a Legal Aid lawyer now, and had a public defender before for other previous cases.  Plaintiff claims she paid over $1300+ for In Town Suites after eviction, plus $1099 to another hotel, and $1440 for Sunrise Apartments (to break the lease).    Defendant claims she repaid the $1300 in cash when settlement came in.  $695 for car repairs. So I guess that’s $4580.   Defendant claims daughter Seven is going in the merchant marine.

$4580 to plaintiff. (I have no idea where that amount came from). 

33 Year-Old RV Bust-Plaintiff Alejandro Perez, paid $2,500 for a 33 year-old RV, and purchased vehicle, after a mechanic's inspection, from defendant  Thomas Roughan, and drove it 15 miles home, and 15 miles to smog test station, when engine blew (grenaded actually).    Plaintiff said RV engine blew, burned him, and he wants his money back, plus payment for his burns.   

Apparently, plaintiff can't understand 33 years-old, As Is, or anything about buying used vehicles.   

Defendant says plaintiff turned on the propane, lit the burner, and that’s when the fire happened, while RV was running.

Case dismissed, because plaintiff is ridiculous. 

Second (2016)-

Twice Divorced to the Same Man (Shouldn't it be "from" instead of "to"?)-Plaintiff Tonia Boggs married, and divorced defendant Jonathan Boggs, then they remarried, and divorced to preserve plaintiff’s disability payments.   Litigants have a child together.    Plaintiff wants property damage, money for a truck, and an unpaid loan.     They were still living together after the second divorce, but just as landlord/tenant.  The former couple lived together for a year, and she finally moved out.   

Then, plaintiff sold a truck to defendant, but agreed to wait for a tax refund.   Then, plaintiff received a settlement (with NDA attached), and she purchased sugar gliders (animals, cute but expensive) for ex, and their child.   Then, he broke her phone after an argument, but he gave her the phone.       Plaintiff loaned $2900 to defendant, and $1500 for a truck was loaned.   

Since litigants were living together, the disability payments were going to be stopped, so she moved out to still get payments.   Defendant has a counter claim for 9 months of rent. 

Case dismissed.  

Roommates No More-Plaintiff Kevin Jezek suing ex-roommate/defendant Matthew Rothe for deposit, and rent paid.   Plaintiff rented room in house, house was sold, and defendant was buying house, and renting rooms.   Plaintiff gave defendant $100 deposit, because plaintiff didn't move into that room, and defendant later told plaintiff he wasn't going to rent to him.     $100 back to plaintiff. 

 Since defendant doesn't want a roommate, ever, $500 to plaintiff.

I wonder why they still show the promotional bits telling people to contact Judge Judy if they have been cheated, have family disputes, etc. since the show is now over. Isn't there any way they can replace them? 

I am annoyed when I am advised to go to a website or do something and the location or service is no longer there. Example: I recently read a book that referenced information on a website. The website is supposed to have material that is helpful to the reader. However, when I go to the URL, the only content is for CBD oil and other products. I don't know if the site got taken over or just abandoned, but it was very disappointing.

 Price of car was $1500

Unless that was restored to perfect condition that is ridiculous. My first car was a 1963 comet with a tiny engine and a two speed automatic transmission. Its entire pollution control system consisted of a half inch pipe from the crankcase pointing at the ground. It struggled to get up hills but I loved it as my first car. Bought it 1970 (plus or minus a year or two) for $500, sold it a year later when I inherited a newer car for $500. Something here smells.

Real Estate Runaround -Plaintiff/home owner Shantel Segale suing defendant/real estate agent Semone Grinnell for damaging her house, and doing changes to the house, and landscaping, without permission.   There are photos of house before the sales contract by plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims defendant painted the inside of the house, trimmed the trees, painted the front door, and without permission. 

The sales / realtor contract doesn’t list any changes to property, unless plaintiff gives permission, except that’s not in the contract.    From the JJ School of Law, I know that a written agreement can’t be modified except in writing, and signed by both parties, not orally.     Nothing in the contract allows realtor to modify property, or anything else she did to the plaintiff’s house.  

Defendant will not get paid for the painting, etc. she did to the house, and will have to pay to fix what she did without permission.   The defendant’s ‘improvements’ are bad paint, paint splotches, and other stuff.

Plaintiff says she found her house unlocked, all of the lights on, the keys gone, and no lockbox.  

$1500 to plaintiff.

Entrapment -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Jessica Hill suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Christopher Kessler for rent and lost tuition.  Plaintiff was pregnant by someone else when they met, when she had the baby, then they moved in together, and then one day the defendant left.   So, plaintiff wants the rent, and claims she had to drop out of school to afford rent, and so wants lost tuition.  They broke up after plaintiff said she cheated on him before they moved into the apartment and signed the lease.     Defendant paid all of the bills, and paid rent through the end of April, and he moved then.  (This happened in St. Louis)

They tried to live together platonically, but it didn’t work, and defendant moved out.    Then, defendant’s witness won’t shut up, and JJ throws him out of court (unfortunately, throws him out by telling him to leave, not really throwing him.   As JJ says, everyone wants their 15 minutes of fame.)

Another roommate was supposed to move in the day after defendant moved out.

Give Me Back My Car!  -Plaintiff Roxanne Madrid suing defendants Michael Bliven and Mark Kistner over the car she bought from them, and defendants repo’d.   The purchase of the car $3175, but car cost defendants $3180.

Plaintiff wants $5,000 for a $3180 car.   Plaintiff paid then boyfriend Bliven, the $4000 who he gave to Kistner to go to auctions and get her a car.    Bliven says the money was repaying loans he made to plaintiff.    Kistner bought the car in his dealership name, for $3180.    Plaintiff took the money out of her student loan, she will have to repay.    

Kistner says car was for Bliven and Madrid, while they were living together.    Bliven picked out a car, and Kistner bought the car.   Bliven’s defense is the car was purchased by him, and not by plaintiff, because the money was repayment of loans to plaintiff, and not funds from plaintiff to purchase vehicle.

Plaintiff claims Bliven repossessed the vehicle, and sold it.     

$3175 to plaintiff.    

Stolen Motorcycle? -Plaintiff Drew Weissman suing defendant Cleysser Flores for the return of a motorcycle.    Plaintiff never got the title in his name, and defendant bought motorcycle for $4,000.   When defendant tried to register the bike, there was a DMV hold for the bike because it was stolen.    

   Plaintiff’s mother is a witness, and she told her son if he brought a motorcycle home, that son would have to move out.   Plaintiff bought a motorcycle from someone, not defendant, and the motorcycle title was not in seller’s name, so it was stolen.    There is no way plaintiff didn’t know it was a hot bike.

Then, defendant wanted his money back, $4,000, and he is trying to title it.    So. plaintiff gave the refund, and defendant now says motorcycle is a gift, and he wants to try to get it titled.   How about the original owner? 

Plaintiff gets the hot bike back, and defendant keeps his money.     Marshal will come and pick up the bike, and give it to plaintiff.

Uber Accident Victim-Plaintiff /Uber driver was making a left turn, and defendant backed out of his driveway, and backed into plaintiff.    Unfortunately, defendant has no license, registration, or insurance, because he just bought the car the day before (do I look stupid enough to believe that?).   He was driving his child to school (and probably everywhere else too).   Defendant claims he was going to drop his child at school, then register and insure the car.   

Defendant promised to pay for the accident, and he would pay plaintiff when his $9,000+ school funds came in (Byrd should have mailed defendant the check faster).   

Plaintiff's Uber insurance paid, except for the $1,000 deductible, so she gets $1,000 from JJ., plus a week of lost Uber wages, and car rental, $767.   

Plaintiff gets $2500.  

Divorce Debit Drama-Plaintiff father suing ex-wife for fraudulent use of his health care debit card for one of their common children.   The debit card was tied to an HSA for medical, dental etc., but only for medical expenses.     Plaintiff says defendant used the HSA debit card for the 27-year-old daughter, not the 17 year old child.   

27-year-old daughter is defendant's witness, and says father said she could use the card for over $500 in lab tests, plaintiff denies this.    JJ insists that the 27-year-old daughter is who the plaintiff should sue, and I sadly agree, or else he should pay the bill himself if he refuses to sue the daughter.      However, I suspect the mother (defendant) did give the information to the older daughter.    (I think the older daughter is lying, and took the information to use for her expenses, after she was too old to be on the father's insurance).   

I think the plaintiff sued the right person.   As a graduate of the Law & Order, L.A. Law, Boston Legal School of Law, my opinion is the ex-wife/defendant was the guardian of the card information.   The father also never let other older children use the debit card.    

Case dismissed. 

(I know someone who tried to use a family member's insurance like this, and not only was it denied, but that person wasn't allowed to get on the company plan for a year as a penalty, for health care fraud, and they had to pay the bills for everything for the surgery they tried to get paid for by the insurance.).    

Bongs and Pipes...Oh My-Plaintiff/ landlord suing former tenant for damages (It's a historic Hollywood building, and defendant lived there for four or five years).   The $5500 security deposit wasn't returned.  ($3281 was rent!), and tenant didn't pay the last two months rent.  JJ doesn't like the bills presented, and photos by landlord.   Between unpaid rent, and broken floor tile, the $5500 security is used up.   

Landlord keeps the $5500, and that's it (I totally believe the former tenant was responsible for the bongs, and paraphernalia left behind, and broken door).

Sick Child Fundraising Frenzy-Plaintiff suing defendant because he pulled out of plaintiff's charity event.   However, defendant accepted $1600 from plaintiff's assistant.     Plaintiff had a cousin's child diagnosed with a severe illness, so she decided to raise funds for living expenses for the parents, and medical bills.     Plaintiff decided to have a motorcycle ride, with proceeds going to the cousin's family.   Other family members did a Bowl-a-thon, and the child's father started a GoFundMe, plus plaintiff did another GoFundMe, and there was a third GoFundMe, and another one or two GFM's.      Defendant agreed to help do the motorcycle event, but he arranged the venue, the date and such, and then he was suspicious about the event, and he pulled out.    Plaintiff claims she gave GFM money from her fund, and gave it to defendant ($1,000).    

Defendant pulled out of the motorcycle ride, a week prior to the event because of doubts he had with the legitimacy of the charity.     Plaintiff says the ride raised just under $10,000,  and they cleared $8500.     The child's father was given the $8500 the day of the event.  (Plaintiff is the one who calls it Me Me, instead of meme).     I don't like the defendant, but I totally don't believe, or like the plaintiff.   

Plaintiff receives $1600, but payable to the child's parents.

Murder and Medical Malpractice -Plaintiff/cousin DeJuana Covington suing defendant/cousin Ashanta Byrd-Arnold for loans for defendant’s loser husband’s (Rodney Arnold) back child support, a car involved in a murder, and failure to pay child support.   Plaintiff received $150 from her cousin for the $3,000 loan.

Defendant husband has two or three different child support cases with two different women, besides the wife.    The loans were for husband’s non-payment of child support $3000, and bail.   Defendant husband doesn’t know about child support, or anything.  Yes, defendant husband is stupid, and doesn’t really know how old his kids are, and doesn’t see them.   Defendant husband had a heart attack, two or so years ago, and doesn’t work, at least standing up.   Defendant wife is a CNA, and 2 kids with husband, and two others.

Defendant wife said they didn’t know if the two child support kids were husband’s biological kids.   Plaintiff paid the defendant wife $3,000, and then loaned defendant wife money for a car down payment.  

Plaintiff said defendant husband was going to sell the rims on his non-driving car, or sell the car, but defendant wife won’t let defendant husband sell his car, because her father, brother, and someone else ‘caught’ a murder case over that car, and wife refuses to sell it.    (I never heard of being sentimental about a car someone was arrest in for murder, and wanting to keep the car). 

The car loan was defendant wife went to the car lot, and defendant had $2,000 with her, and plaintiff had some money from her son’s car settlement, so plaintiff kicked in money for the down payment, a couple of days after the loan for bail/child support for deadbeat husband.

Defendant wife says plaintiff got sick from a birth control malpractice suit, and received a settlement, so defendant thinks she in entitled to the settlement.  

$5,000 to plaintiff, and I hope she cuts cousin, and deadbeat husband off.

Debt and Deployment -Plaintiff/military wife Amanda Brindle suing defendant/former friend Annabelle Mullennix for repayment of loans for rent, and bills.  When plaintiff’s husband was deployed, plaintiff invited her friend/defendant to live with her.    Military was paying plaintiff $1037 separate quarters housing allowance, but she was living with her aunt for free.  Plus, plaintiff receives $1,000 disability too.

Plaintiff says defendant was supposed to repay the loans, and baby sit sometimes for plaintiff.   Defendant says she was just supposed to baby sit sometimes, be a companion, and no repayment of loans was mentioned.

Ex-Friend Troubles -Plaintiff Charmion “Dana” Owens suing defendant/former friend Tiffany Wyant over two fraudulent checks, for $1275.   Plaintiff’s husband was injured, and became a quadriplegic, they divorced, and lost the house in bankruptcy.    Plaintiff was in defendant’s house, staying with defendant.  Then, plaintiff asked defendant to cash two checks for plaintiff, they were stolen checks, and defendant got arrested with two felony charges.    Plaintiff pled guilty, and so did defendant.   Defendant is whining because she was incarcerated for two hours.  

(This was in Waynesboro, VA, what a lovely town)

Defendant says there’s a key to her house, and plaintiff steals things from her house.   JJ tells defendant to change the locks.   Plaintiff claims she left a stove, drill, mini fridge, fan, twin mattress, and personal stuff.  Plaintiff’s witness, Ms. Brown, is the one defendant claims is the burglar, and Ms. Brown has a really nasty grin when defendant says that.

Plaintiff has no receipts, but claims she registered the warranties, to prove ownership.    No proof.

Plaintiff lived in defendant’s Section 8 housing for almost a year (Is that allowed?).

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant counterclaim dismissed.

Computer Scam Sale? -Plaintiff Michael Hague suing defendant Candace Brookins for the return of money down on a computer defendant bought with her student loan money, and wanted to sell the computerThe school gave defendant a new Mac computer for attending their school, actually sold it to her through her tuition, and fees.   School is $10k a semester, all financed by student loans.  The loans are $1200 a month.    Computer was $1200, and she was going to sell it for $700.

(JJ’s wrong, a lot of schools were selling students computers, the students paid for the computer through their student loan money, or tuition. Some schools also ‘gave’ you a complete kit for your course of study too, cosmetology, computer science, etc., but the tuition paid for it.) 

Plaintiff says defendant wanted to sell her computer, for a certain price ($700), and he wanted to resell it.    Plaintiff sent $350 deposit to defendant, and she never sent the computer, so he either wants his $350, or the computer.  Defendant claims $350 was a gift because she was short on money.  

The Facebook messages say defendant says computer was worth $2600.    Plaintiff claims she took $350 down for the $700 she was going to sell him the computer for.

Plaintiff gets $350 back.    Defendant case thrown in the trash. (In hall-terview, defendant says he was just mad that he couldn’t have her, and plaintiff laughs and says he wouldn’t touch her.  She’s dressed like she’s going to the beach too.)

Gardener Attacked by Tree Owner-Plaintiff/tree owner Frank Morehead suing neighbors Mark and Ninfa Casimiro, and their gardener Hilde Sanchez for cutting branches from plaintiff's tree, that overhang the defendant's pool.  Their backyards back up to each other at the fence.    

Gardener cut branches on defendant's side, and to keep leaves out of defendant’s pool.   Since the tree overhangs defendant's property, then they don't need permission, but defendant's mother talked to the plaintiff's wife about it. 

(From photos, tree looks dead, everything around it has leaves.  Plaintiff claims the lighting makes the tree look dead).   This happened in Palmdale, CA.

Plaintiff claims when he came on defendant's property, that the gardener hit him several times.   Plaintiff claims gardener had a back mounted leaf blower going, and turned around and hit him with a rake.  There are no medical or police reports.    Police declined to charge gardener.       Plaintiff is a prop master.

I can't imagine living next to the blow hard defendant for 25 years.    Gardener was standing on defendant's shed when the branches were cut on defendants' side of the property line.   Defendants and gardener have cut branches other years (gardener has been trimming tree for five years, but has been defendant's gardener for 20 years), but plaintiff didn't notice, I guess.  Gardener says plaintiff hit him, and pushed him, not the other way around.   This is the plaintiff who said he's a black belt, and if he had hit the gardener, he'd be dead.

Landlord Lease Breakers-Plaintiffs /landlords Earl Throop Jr Jenny Messina-Throop were renting a house to defendants,  Colby and Leia Gibson but told them to move out in mid-March, but their lease didn't run out until mid-June.  In April defendants paid very late in the month, and a five-day notice to move was filed because of a utility bill.   

Plaintiff wanted to sell the house, and wanted defendants out, and they moved in mid-April.    There are no bills for clean-up of the house, and landlords keep the security deposit.   Tenants wanted to clean up, but plaintiffs told them to leave, and not come back.   Plaintiffs didn't sell, and woman moved back into the house themselves, and still live there.     There is no copy of the lease, stating defendants have to pay utilities, so that’s dismissed.   Plaintiffs didn’t sell the house, so their first tenant moved in.

When defendants moved out, they took the washer/dryer out of the house. 

Plaintiffs get their washer/dryer back, but get nothing else, but keep their security deposit. 

Drinking and Car Totaling-Plaintiff Ozi Ogharibhor suing former roommate/defendant Anuoluwaspo Ogunleye for crashing his car, and defendant/former roommate had been drinking.     Plaintiff claims car was totaled, but police report says it wasn’t, and it was repaired.   Defendant agreed to pay $1,000 deductible to plaintiff, and claims he did, plaintiff claims he wasn't paid.     

As usual, plaintiff’s phone with the texts on it had an accident too.  Plaintiff car was repaired, but on a test drive the transmission failed.   

Plaintiff is told to go back to Minnesota, and refile locally, and bring an expert witness.

When the Inmate is Away… -Plaintiff James Kiser suing defendant Tami Rosales, she was a friend of plaintiff’s ex girlfriend for wrecking his SUV while he was incarcerated.   Plaintiff was jailed for a domestic violence/assault, assaulting his then girlfriend.    Defendant claims she insured the car.  Defendant was hit by another driver.   Defendant pursued a claim with her insurance company, which insured the policy on her own car insurance.   

Since SUV was towed, only the titled owner could claim it, but plaintiff sent a POA to defendant to claim the vehicle, but the POA was actually written to his mother (plaintiff’s witness).    Defendant claims she didn’t receive any money from the insurance company, because she only had liability.    Plaintiff bought the car from his mother (his witness).  

$1700 to plaintiff.

Relationship Rehab -Plaintiff/former car owner Rachel Hodge suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Danielle Schmittt for the value of a car.  Car belonged to plaintiff, was driven with her permission by defendant.   When defendant rear ended another car, it was when police ran plates, and then the car was impounded because it had lapsed registration.    (This is a live stop, like on Parking Wars). 

Plaintiff wasn’t allowed to have a vehicle in her care, or drive vehicles either, and didn’t renew the registration.    Plaintiff was dropped off at the facility by defendant, this was Integrity House, a rehab facility.      If defendant didn’t have permission to drive the car, then how could she have dropped plaintiff off at rehab?    Rehab was for a six-month period.    Plaintiff only bought car two months before she went to rehab, and was still titled in former owner’s mother’s name. 

Plaintiff says car was registered to previous owner’s friend’s mother, and she finally registered it.

$350 for plaintiff.   I wouldn’t have given her a penny.

Second (2013)-

Surprise Witness! -Plaintiff/ex-wife Crisi Nash (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Three) suing defendant/ex-husband Rashawn “Shawn” Nash for return of her furniture.  Plaintiff and defendant divorced, then they shacked up together again, because he was the love of her life.    They have three kids together.   

Plaintiff claims the love of her life stole her furniture. 

JJ calls a surprise plaintiff witness outside the courtroom to testify.     Witness is Kia Bailey, Sebire the defendant’s witness is her cousin, and was asked by him to help him sell furniture, and they bought the furniture.  There are pictures of the furniture.

Case dismissed.

Social Security Fraud?-Plaintiff Jeffrey Turner suing defendant/former co-worker Marcus Montgomery for failing to build a website for his business (sportswearalley was the website), to sell shirts, and other items for sports teams.  It took five months to get the team jerseys loaded, but the payment method and prices were never given by the plaintiff to be loaded.  

 Defendant says plaintiff wanted the business to be low key, so it wouldn't interfere with his Social Security Disability.   

Defendant also says web site for t-shirt business needed information that plaintiff refused to give him.    Plaintiff wants almost $4k.  Deposit was $1800 to defendant.   Did I hear correctly that plaintiff has been on disability for 25 years.    Plaintiff also didn't get a payment method, corporate filing with the state, tax numbers, jersey descriptions, and didn't register the company name, and buy a domain.   (By the way the website is for sale for almost $2800, on sale from almost $9k when this first aired, so I guess this never was resolved).   

Plaintiff swears defendant was going to negotiate with suppliers in China for NFL jerseys.    Defendant denies what plaintiff said.   But that’s not right or legal (Jerseys in China are not legit, and are counterfeit, and probably going to be seized as counterfeit).  Licensure from NFL will be expensive Defendant says he never said anything about getting jersey's for the plaintiff. 

Case dismissed, filed too early pending plaintiff actions.

Ex-Lovers Break It Down-Plaintiff Doreese Simpson and defendant/ex-live in Ulysses Mullins suing for a tablet, unpaid rent, and hotel costs.   Defendant says plaintiff and child moved in with him at his place, and she barely paid rent.  He got sick of this, and asked woman and her child (apparently more than one child now, an older one) to leave.   

Plaintiff wants her rent back, but there's no proof she paid rent.   Defendant claims woman lived there for three or four months, and didn't pay her $200 a month rent. 

Case dismissed.   

Second (2016)-

Third Roommate Roulette-Plaintiff Olivia Jensen suing former roommate/defendant John Osanitch, for damages, unpaid rent (he claims he paid), and renter's insurance deductible.   It took plaintiff a year to get to court.  Third roommate is plaintiff’s witness, Emily .     (This happened in Berkeley, CA, in 2014).  When defendant moved out, plaintiff and other roommate found a replacement roommate almost immediately.    

Plaintiff let defendant move in without paying deposit, and rent at move-in.   Defendant claims he paid $1,000 security deposit, and it was taken for the last month’s rent.     Defendant picked the wrong place to move into, there are a lot of unenforceable items in the 'co-tenancy agreement' that all roommates signed. 

 Plaintiff claims defendant broke the garage window to get his furniture out when he moved out.    A week after move out defendant realized he had some of plaintiff's belongings (ski equipment), and he notified her, and asked to arrange pick up. 

Defendant still has the disputed ski equipment, and plaintiff claimed on her insurance policy.   JJ says plaintiff gets her equipment back, but has to reimburse the insurance company for the insurance claim.   Plaintiff has five days to pick up her equipment, and reimburse the insurance company.   Plaintiff’s still whining about $3400 in damages.

Case dismissed.  

Auction Angst-Plaintiff Sheila David suing defendant/former friend Eugene Taylor , for the cost of a car she bought at auction on his behalf.    Plaintiff has an auction card, so she can bid.   Defendant wanted a car for his son, and plaintiff went to auction with him, to purchase the car.    Plaintiff bought a 2002 BMW X-5, for $3100.    At this auction you can look at the cars, and actually drive them, and plaintiff claims defendant wanted her to bid on cars they hadn't inspected or previewed.   

After plaintiff bought the BMW, the defendant refused to pay for it.   At lunch, after the auction the defendant said he wouldn't pay for the car, so plaintiff told defendant they would resell the car. and when car broke down on the way home, it was towed to defendant's mechanic where it remains.   

Plaintiff gets the car cost of $3500, plus auction fees.

Grooming Gone Wrong -Plaintiffs Stephen and Emily Fantasia are suing defendant/dog groomer Kathleen Cassidy for heat stroke of their dog, a Chow, Sammy, and want their vet bills paid.     This case strikes near to me, I had dogs that needed grooming, and was always worried about what was happening while dog was there.   Also, cage heaters can be a problem, and most places don’t use cage heat dryers any longer, just air dryers. 

Owners told groomer to keep the dog cool, and told her again on drop off, at 8 a.m.     This was in Holbrook, MA, and the air conditioner was not on, defendant claims it was only 73 degrees that day, and a/c wasn’t needed.     Defendant didn’t do the work, her employees did.  The two employees that worked on the dog aren’t in court.    Then, in the tub Sammy was unhappy, and on the table for the blow-dry, Sammy was in distress.     Then, plaintiff called to see how the dog grooming was progressing, and groomer told him dog was fine, and would be ready soon. 

 When plaintiff husband arrived, dog was on the floor, bleeding from under his tongue, panting heavily, and groomer claimed dog bit his tongue.   Plaintiff took dog right to emergency vet.    Diagnosis was heat stroke, and respiratory distress.   I'm surprised poor Sammy recovered, many dogs don't survive heat stroke the way he did, and especially with their brain intact.  

Plaintiffs get paid for vet bills. 

Father Daughter Car Dispute -Plaintiff /daughter Amber Cronin suing defendant/father Trevor Cronin for a car that was supposed to be joint, but father has possession of, and car is entirely in his name.   Father is counter suing for transmission repair on the car.   

Litigants went to an auction, each bought a car, and plaintiffs blew the transmission.  Defendant took daughter’s car to the mechanic, had it fixed, and put the car in his name.     Plaintiff paid for car, and father has it.  Father’s car from the auction went boom, so he took the daughter’s car, and it’s in both names. 

Daughter is a nursing student, and I hope she did great after this show.

$980 to daughter.   Father keeps the car, but will have to negotiate with daughter to get her to sign the title transfer.  

Second (2013)-

She’s a Parasite! -Plaintiff Shane Frazier suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Joan Guerrero for unpaid loans.   The two were in a romantic relationship, he rented a car for her, she returned it late, damaged, and with a ticket on it.    Defendant claims she paid the car company for the rental, ticket, and damages, but refuses to get the receipt for the payment, and JJ tells defendant to get the receipt or don’t come back to court. 

Plaintiff not getting anything for the rental car, because he was getting it for the defendant.  Defendant claims she never agreed to repay for the car, but for apartment rental, almost $1500, from when they lived together.

Does plaintiff really think JJ will give him money for fraudulently getting the rental car in his name for defendant?  

Plaintiff’s witness keeps chiming in, so gets booted. Unfortunately, only asked to leave, not physically kicked out.   Defendant has every single excu

$3750 to plaintiff.    

Truth or Dare Danger -Plaintiff Tracy and Claude Johnson are suing defendant Mary Boland for their son’s dental bills.    Plaintiff was babysitting defendant’s daughter, for money, and litigants’ kids were playing Truth or Dare, and plaintiff son broke his tooth.   Plaintiffs are suing for the original dental work, and other dental work resulting from the injury, for $2500.   (This was in Portland, OR)

Since it was paid babysitting of defendant’s child, JJ says the plaintiffs should have supervised the children better.   

Plaintiff husband says defendant’s now 10-year-old daughter has issues, and tried to hang herself in his backyard, and he had to cut her down.   JJ reminds plaintiff husband that this was lack of supervision.  However, husband says it wasn’t during babysitting time.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2016)-

German Shepherd Breeding Fail-Plaintiff Karah Alberts (disabled for a heart condition) suing German Shepherd (GSD) breeder, over a dog sale, and suing defendant Kimberly Parker (amateur breeder, and dog groomer).    Defendant bought adult dog for $1,000, and sold adult female to plaintiff for breeding.  No written contract.     Dog was sold for $150 to plaintiff by defendant, and claims as a pet not a breeding animal.  Plaintiff actually paid $75, but not the rest.   

Plaintiff wanted to breed the female to defendant's stud, and usually gets pick of litter, and wants two this time.    Female had a litter, and had a history of aggression, and bit one puppy so severely that it eventually lost an ear.    GSD's were claimed to be eligible for AKC registration, but they weren't.   

After puppy was bitten, plaintiff asked defendant to look at the puppy (she's a groomer that works for a vet), and defendant brought another woman that was a vet tech.   Instead of taking the dog to a vet, they kept passing the puppy around between so-called vet techs.        Puppies had never been to a vet, or the adult dog either before birth.   

I hate all of these people, and they are bad people.    The other three puppies were sold at 8 weeks, but hadn't seen a vet for shots or worming.   One sold for $800, and two for $500 each.    Plaintiff bought shots from Tractor Supply, and wormer too, and was going to give the shots herself.   

The one-eared puppy was named "Vincent Van Gogh" (no, I'm not kidding about the name) and dog was donated to Dogs for Heroes.      There was a second puppy with a severe injury, and that one was never treated either.   

(The plaintiff looks like the woman who played Marla Hooch in "A League of Their Own")  

Plaintiff wanted papers for the dog, but claims she isn't going to breed her again. Why would you need AKC papers for dog you aren’t going to breed?

 The ad also claimed the dogs were AKC registered, which was a lie.   Defendant ended up with four puppies.   Defendant has health certificates, which are required for sale in Florida, and defendant’s puppies have shots.   Plaintiff was trying to sell the un-vetted puppies at five weeks, and claimed the puppies were eight weeks.   Defendant wants three puppies, and the adult dog back. 

Defendant claims the puppies were sold by plaintiff way too young.   Defendant also claims animal control went to plaintiff’s house, but we never find out the rest of that.   

Case dismissed for both sides.  

It's Mostly Nonsense-Plaintiff/former tenant Sharon Towe suing former landlords Harold Bradford and Margot Betz, for security deposit, and the defendants/landlords, landlords claim there are a lot of damages.   Plaintiff paid $2800 security, and landlord offered to pay her $1500 security, but plaintiff didn’t cash the check because that would be a settled matter.   

Plaintiff claims she had house repainted, and it was clean inside.   

There was an itemized list sent by landlord, and photos of 'damages'.    Landlord's damages are ridiculous. 

Plaintiff gets $1300 security back, plus the $1500 check landlord already gave her (I wonder if it cashed OK?). 

Second (2016)-

Car Deal Doubt-Plaintiff Darian Randles paid defendant Cristafer Gunter a $1,000 deposit on a car, and then she changed her mind.  Text messages from plaintiff to defendant say she wanted her deposit back.    Defendant sold the car for full price two days later ($2500), and kept the deposit anyway.   

 Plaintiff claims a mechanic looked at the car, but she couldn't discuss car issues until the day after she put down the deposit, and she thinks there are issues with the car.  So, the defendant made $3500 on a car he was selling for $2500.     

Plaintiff gets the $1,000 back.  

Illegal Jeep Repo-Plaintiffs Karryn and Kyle Savage purchased jeep from defendants Kyli and Dustin Dyck  for $3000, and reduced to $2700, but plaintiffs never paid it off.    The plaintiffs agreed to pay off jeep in a few months, and never finished paying for it.  Defendants wouldn’t give title until the Jeep was paid in full, so plaintiffs never registered the Jeep.    

Plaintiffs want repo Jeep back.     Jeep was still in defendant's name, and plaintiff received a red light ticket and didn't pay it.   Defendant husband's license was suspended for the unpaid ticket.   Defendants are suing for ticket costs, and want proof the plaintiff paid for the ticket.  Plaintiff wife says ticket didn't have to be paid for six months.   

Defendant's license was suspended five months after plaintiff’s red light ticket occurred.      Plaintiff submits bad paperwork for the ticket, which was never paid.  Ticket went up to $780 for non-payment.    Plaintiffs want $2400 they put into the Jeep.   

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendants receives $780 to pay the ticket.

Emergency Move-Out -Plaintiff /former roommate Wayne Robinson suing defendant /former roommate Willie Walton over property. $500 security deposit, hotel costs, and a restraining order.   Defendant had an apartment and roommates, when plaintiff moved in the landlord said that all occupants had to sign the lease, and at the end of the current lease, their rent would go up.    Two of defendant’s roommates either moved out or were about to, and landlord said that all tenants had to be on lease, and that lease terms and rent would be renegotiated when the 12-month lease expired, or everyone would have to move out. 

Plaintiff refused to pay more rent, and then said he was moving out now, and wanted his security deposit back.    Then, after plaintiff demanded his security deposit right now, defendant withdrew the money and paid plaintiff.    Defendant texted to plaintiff that he would give the security back when plaintiff moves, and gave him back the key.   

Plaintiff left the same day, and moved to the Cecil Motel (is this the famous Cecil Motel that’s on TV a lot, in L.A?.).    Plaintiff is not working, but his G.I. bill from the U.S. Navy (he left the USN in 1982) covers his school tuition, and his bills.  

JJ agrees that the awful text messages from plaintiff to defendant justify the restraining order against plaintiff.      Fortunately, plaintiff has

Defendant put canned food, and clothing, property, and put it in storage, photos of the storage unit are given to JJ.     Defendant even boxed everything, and moved it to a storage unit.     Plaintiff claims he got stuff out of the storage unit.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Plaintiff already retrieved his property from the storage unit, and was paid his $500 security deposit.

Stolen Shotgun? -Plaintiff Arthur Banks suing defendant Arthur Jaffe for the money plaintiff paid for the shotgun, that defendant pawned at plaintiff’s shop.    Plaintiff sent the police a photo of the shotgun, and it was confiscated by the police (this is done daily where plaintiff operates a pawn shop), so plaintiff is suing for the pawn payment back, $875. Thomas “Wayne” Mitchell the defense witness, is the man defendant claims gave him the shotgun, and said he could sell or pawn it.   So, is the implication that witness stole the shotgun, and was in cahoots with defendant to sell it. 

$875 to plaintiff.  Defendant is a total jerk.

Jewelry Thieves Caught on Tape -Plaintiff Steve Ensor suing defendants Jobe Allen and Robert Baker for stealing his ring, and selling it.   Plaintiff invited the two defendants over for a evening of drinking.   However, Baker claims he saw Allen rummaging through plaintiff’s stuff, and then Baker woke up on the beach, and the ring was next to him.     So, Baker and Allen sold the ring at a pawn shop.   (All of this happened in Hawaii). 

Plaintiff says his live-in partner saw the ring missing.  This was their commitment ring.

 Then, a day or two later Baker and Allen were at the gold buying shop selling the ring.    The twist is there is a video of Baker and Allen selling the ring at the gold buying shop.   The gold buying shop isn’t required to keep the material, but it was immediately melted down.

Plaintiff receives $1,000 .  

Brutus the Service Dog -Plaintiff Gloria Rizzo suing defendants Brandon and Tiffany Halley for return of her German Shepherd Dog (GSD) service dog, Brutus.   Plaintiff placed with them as a foster, until she could relocate and get the dog back.  Plaintiff’s ex-, Mr. Bivens, her witness, said he wouldn’t have the dog in his home, because landlord wanted notice to have the dog there, and they didn’t give notice.   Plaintiff still lives with the ex-husband.   

Defendant wife’s sister found the defendants to take the dog for plaintiff.    Defendant witness Kimberly Grant (defendant wife’s sister) said the sister would take the dog, but it would have to be permanent, not fostering.  

 Brutus the GSD was wanted as a pet by defendants, and for breeding with their female GSD.   Defendants say they were permanently given the dog.    Plaintiff gave the dog for fostering for three months before this, then three weeks later dog was with the Halleys.     

Plaintiff claims she can’t function without Brutus for driving (so Brutus drives?), and he’s her medical service dog for Vertigo, but hasn’t had him for over a year?    Plaintiff had the dog for nine months before the fostering, with another foster for three months, and another year with the Halleys.

Since when is a service dog not neutered?   This is an emotional support dog, not a service dog.  Why are the Halleys wanting to breed a dog with an undescended testicle?   Even if the testicle descended, that’s still a bad idea.

Defendants keep dog, and plaintiff told to get another dog.

When Ex-Mother-in-Laws Attack-Plaintiff Joyce Knighten (former Mother-in-Law) of defendant /ex-daughter-in-law Carolyn Knighten is suing for unpaid loans, and car costs.    Defendant was divorced from MIL's son, and they have since remarried each other.   Defendant, husband, and kids lived with MIL, and cared for the MIL’s household in return for rent.

MIL claims she loaned $350, and $1200.    Plaintiff's name was on a car, and defendant claims husband, and defendant paid $500 a month, because defendant had bad credit.   Defendant and husband have paid $500 a month for three years for the car, about $15k, and still owe MIL $10k on the car.   Plaintiff repo'd the car.   

What a bizarre family, MIL was sending defendant's incarcerated son in prison huge sums of money.   

MIL has no proof of loans, except the $350, so plaintiff gets $350.  

Love Triangle Disaster-Plaintiff Steven Walen suing ex-girlfriend/defendant Laura Brown for a tractor.    After plaintiff's now girlfriend replaced defendant (plaintiff's current girlfriend was best friend of defendant), plaintiff witness moved into the house with litigants, and then plaintiff and his witness became a couple, and defendant threw plaintiff and his current girlfriend out.  Defendant also had another guy.   

Plaintiff claims he paid for the house, that house is in the defendant's name (he admits he was that stupid), and defendant is still living in.   The litigants lived together for nine years, with joint checking.    Plaintiff wants his tractor back, and they have two cars together.     Plaintiff points out that defendant and her current boyfriend had a relationship for two years when they lived together.

Case is dismissed.    The Supreme Court couldn't untangle this mess.   

Metal Pipe Slam-Plaintiff Kyle Kovac suing former friend and co-worker/defendant James Goolsby  for damaging his car with a metal pipe.   Plaintiff was living as a tenant with defendant and wife, and plaintiff stayed after defendant and wife split up.    Plaintiff drove soon-to-be ex-wife to defendant's place of business, to serve defendant with divorce papers, that's when plaintiff claims defendant hit his car with a wrench or pipe.   Defendant was totally responsible.

Vegas Birthday Fail-Plaintiff/older sister Tatiana Barns suing her sister /defendant Brittany Williams over a trip to Vegas, and damages to a rental car.   

(Defendant's phone goes off in JJ's court, and I hope Byrd shows woman what a broken phone looks like.)   

 Sisters went to Vegas for defendant's birthday, with seven people.  There were two cars, one was a rental that defendant was in.   Plaintiff says she loaned defendant $200 for rent, and then for the rental car.   Second car broke down, and plaintiff rented a car for defendant, and that defendant would pay for rental after the first day. 

Car was supposed to be returned after three days, but defendant was supposed to pay for two more days, the gas tank was empty, and someone smoked in the car.      Defendant was too young to rent a car on her own, and only had a driver's permit, not a license. 

$200 for the loan to plaintiff, nothing for the car.  

Puppy Takes a Bad Fall-Plaintiff Amber Potter wants payment for vet bills for her cute Pomeranian puppy from defendant Jamie Sheehan.   Defendant was watching the plaintiff's two little kids, and defendant's one kid, at plaintiff's home.   Children were playing in one kid's room, and puppy was injured, supposedly fell off of the bed, and broke his leg.   

Case dismissed.  

Rookie Driver Mistake-Plaintiff Peter Cowings suing defendant/barely licensed, but uninsured car driver Savannah Moon for car accident. 

 Both litigants were going the same direction, with defendant in front of the plaintiff, on the curb lane.  Defendant had on right turn blinker, and instead wanted to turn left, and did, causing the accident.  This was two days after defendant received her driver's license.   For once, the car was insured but defendant daughter wasn't named on the policy, and plaintiff has full coverage.     

Father of defendant still swears his daughter was not at fault (yes, she was).   Defendant daughter does not seem to be a rocket scientist in training.     Defendant is also suing for her car damage.  Plaintiff went through his insurance, because defendant's insurance refused to pay.       

Plaintiff gets $5,000, and defendant and her father are still fools.

However, plaintiff wasn’t making payments, and is still suing defendants for repossessing the car.   Plaintiff wants $1,000 for her purse, iPad, etc. that were in the car when defendants repo’d it, and $3,000 more.   This was an ‘as in’ sale, no warranties.

Plaintiff says she was sitting on the porch with a neighbor, and can see her parked truck.    She says defendant was speeding and swerving, and hit her truck.    The plaintiff’s truck metal bumper was ripped half off, and there was a yelp from the neighbor’s dog.    Defendant only stopped when plaintiff and neighbor flagged him down.    Dog owner is mad at plaintiff, and son, because his dog died, but it wasn’t plaintiff’s fault.    Plaintiff got defendant’s driver’s license, and phone number, and claims there was no insurance.

Mixed Up Priorities-Plaintiff Darryl Woods bought car from defendant/car dealership owner Stacie Vun, and is suing over a 2002 E 320 Mercedes he bought from the dealership.   Plaintiff claims there was a 30-day warranty, however it was not in the written, signed contract.    $3500 was the purchase price.  However, he paid for fancy rims, but made only one payment on the car loan, so it was repo'd. 

 $1,000 was the down payment, $362 a month were the payments, and he made only one payment, and he claims one more payment, but that's it.   As usual, plaintiff claims he made more cash payments, but the receipts were in the glove compartment of the repo. car.  

However, defendant/car dealer wants repo and rekey fees, and she doesn't get that, because it's not in the written contract (I bet the dealership added it right after the taping of the case).     

Case dismissed, and defendant claim too. 

Single Moms Split-Plaintiff Jessica Kelly suing former friend /defendant McKenzie Spoerline for return of security deposit.   Defendant moved from Florida to Connecticut to room together with their children.   Defendant was going to stay with plaintiff in the 1 bedroom for a month, and they put a security deposit on the bigger apartment, but current tenants stayed an extra month.   

So, plaintiff moved some items into the garage at the new apartment.   Defendant changed her mind about moving into the apartment, and plaintiff wants her security back.    Defendant moved back to Florida.  Defendant claims plaintiff moved into the apartment, and is using defendant's security deposit of $550.   

Defendant gets $550 security back.  

Second (2016)-

Diamond Disaster-Plaintiff Michael Carpenter claims his former fiance/defendant  Danielle Phillips  kept his engagement ring.  Defendant claims he gave her a cubic zirconium in the ring, and wanted her to put her diamond in the ring.     Plaintiff told he's not getting the setting back.  

Plaintiff wants a rebate back for selling artificial turf to the defendant.   Plaintiff says he paid almost $8k for turf, and she only paid $2000.    Rebate check was $4400, and she should keep 25%, and 75% for him.      The Hyundai he's driving was bought by her, and his name isn't on it.    After the breakup he dropped the Hyundai off at her house, after she refused to sell it to him. 

$3300 to plaintiff, and that's it. 

BMW vs. Ford Focus-Plaintiff / BMW owner, William Oglesby suing defendant/driver Lauren Matthews of a Ford Focus over a car accident.   Plaintiff is rather dim on facts of accident, date, time.     Plaintiff had liability, and defendant had full coverage.   

Plaintiff says they were traveling the same direction on the highway, he was in the center lane, and claims the defendant came into his lane, and hit his car.   Defendant claims she was in the far right lane, changed to the center lane, and claims plaintiff rammed her car.   Defendant actually says that plaintiff hit her deliberately.   Defendant lied, and said the plaintiff crossed the line and hit her.   

It is obvious that defendant hit the plaintiff's car, and lied to her insurance company.   

Plaintiff had his car repaired, and gets that back $935.     Defendant gets what she deserves, which is nothing, and I hope her insurance company dumped her.

Mobile Home Manipulation? -Plaintiff Therese Harrison suing defendant David O’Neill for the cost of furniture, and repairs on a mobile home, during plaintiff remodeling the mobile home.   Defendant inherited the mobile home from his late father, and was fixing it up to resell it.  Defendant lived in Arizona, was moving to the mobile in Florida, and plaintiff pitched remodeling the mobile home to defendant.   Plaintiff does remodel work cheap, as a side job.  

Defendant says plaintiff put the furniture into the mobile home, and it’s still there.   Defendant still had his father’s leftover furniture.  Defendant says he just wanted the place painted.     Defendant says plaintiff got rid of all of his father’s furniture, including giving some to the defendant witness.   Defendant witness is a workman who was painting the mobile home.  Defendant was out of town during the remodel.   JJ says plaintiff gets $100 for the used couch she bought, bathroom remodeling $2220.  Plaintiff says there was no agreement on the entire remodel price, except in her statement that says $1500 limit on costs, not including labor. 

JJ thinks plaintiff was trying to start a relationship with defendant.

$1500 to plaintiff, that was the agreed on maximum price for the remodel.    

Car Crash! -Plaintiff Jeanette Wolfarth (car seller) suing defendants Joanna Teixeira, (car buyer) and Tiffany Janny for damages to a Kia Sportage.   Car was sold to defendant Teixeira, for $6,500 still owning on it, Teixeira was supposed to pay $400 a month, but only paid $500, and plaintiff gave Janny permission to drive the car to L.A.      Plaintiff kept the car title.  Plaintiff claims she gave bill of sale to Teixeira for the vehicle, but didn’t keep a copy.  So, in spite of the potential sale, the plaintiff told defendant Janny she could drive the vehicle.

Defendant Janny says Teixeira let her drive the car, and she was rear ended and side swiped at the light.   Plaintiff took insurance off the vehicle when she started to sell the car to Teixeira.   Teixeira didn’t replace the insurance on the vehicle.    

Plaintiff paid the Kia off, for $6,000, but KBR is $5275, private sale is less than $3,000. JJ doesn’t believe the litigants story.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Graduation Party Flipped Car -Plaintiff Cathy Montgomery (car owner) suing defendant Joe Bryant for damages to a car she owns, when her son (Justin Schoene) was driving it at a campground, flipped the car, and left it.     Plaintiff son Justin Schoene was arrested, and pled guilty to leaving the scene of an accident. 

 Justin just graduated from high school, and is now a stay-at-home father, and studying to be a pharmaceutical technician (pharmacy technician).        Plaintiff son lives with his girlfriend, not his mom the way he told JJ.    This all happened two years ago, when litigants were 18.     

Plaintiff’s girlfriend rents a house, and Justin stays home baby sitting his own kid.    (By the way, it’s not babysitting when it’s your kid).

Justin was driving his Mom’s Dodge Stratus.    Justin was driving the car, in spite of his suspended license.    Mrs. Montgomery gave the car to plaintiff son’s friend to drive, because Justin’s license was suspended.   License was suspended for not turning in an accident report, after Justin wrecking his Corvette. 

They all drove to a camp ground, with 4 cars from his party, but 30 other cars were at the camp ground.    Justin went over to defendant Joe, and said, ”we’re not going to be having problems tonight”.   Then Justin walked to his own firepit with his friends.   

At the campground, Justin was driving his mother’s car, with a suspended license, started the car.   Justin drove to the intersection, claims other cars were following him.   Justin did a U-turn, and went back to the other litigant and friends’ campsite.  Justin drove between two cars, stayed in his car, claims defendant opened his back passenger car, blocking plaintiff Justin from driving.    Justin claims defendant ran at him, Justin hit defendant’s legs flipping him into the car, Justin hit the embankment, flipped, and left his mother’s wrecked car behind.

Justin and defendant were arguing over an ex-girlfriend that was now dating another friend (this part is rather murky, like the rest of the case.)   Defendant’s best  friend was dating the girlfriend, and Justin and defendant were arguing about who was mistreating her.  

Defendant’s story is very different.   He says Justin Shoene left with some of his friends, and others from the campground, Justin came back to the campground and started arguing with defendant.  Defendant and plaintiff started trading swats, with defendant leaning into the car window, and Justin driving.   Defendant was caught in the passenger door window, because Justin sped up to about 30, with defendant still hanging on to the car.   

Justin bought a new car from the proceeds from the wrecked Corvette, and claims he had his license reinstated.

Justin’s mother blames defendant for wrecking the car her son was driving.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Buy High, Sell Low-Plaintiffs Jamey Bryant and (boyfriend) Reginald Sykes bought a car from defendant Eric Dale Jr. , but are suing him for the value of the tax lien on the car.   Defendant bought truck in November, and sold to plaintiffs in February. 

Defendant paid $5,000 but never paid the sales tax on the vehicle, so he never registered the vehicle either.    $3800 down, still owed $1500, and claims he paid the car off to the dealer.   He never paid the sales tax on it, or registered the truck.   Defendant had a tax lien on the car, because he didn't pay off the car note/lien until plaintiffs bought the truck, and also, defendant had truck since July.   Because of the title lien, and tax lien, plaintiffs can't register and insure it.   Plaintiffs get $553 to pay the tax lien, and register the vehicle.  Lying defendant claims he reduced truck sales price from $4k to $3200 to make up for the sales tax lien.   

$553 to plaintiffs so they can pay tax lien, and register the vehicle.

Stolen and Stripped-Plaintiff Antonio Moore suing auto repair shop owner/defendant Gilberto Padilla for stealing, and stripping his car.   Car turned up across the street from defendant's auto body shop, and was stripped.   

Defendant claims he had nothing to do with the car, but some stranger offered to sell him the car for a super cheap price.    Defendant claims the potential seller drove to in front of his shop, but it wasn't drivable by the time the police impounded it.  Car was stripped down when it was impounded.  

There is a plaintiff witness, Eddie Lopez who saw the car in the defendant's shop, and was being worked on at the lot.  Eddie Lopez, flagged officers down about the plaintiff’s abandoned, stripped car bing in the street for days.     Plaintiff's witness did not know the plaintiff before this case.   Mr. Lopez drove a tow truck out of a neighboring business, and passes the Padilla shop regularly.    Witness noticed the fancy chrome rims were on the car on the auto body shop lot, but not when it was put out on the street.

(I thought the defendant got a raw deal the first time or two I saw this.  However, the disappearing chrome rims from the defendant's lot, to car parked on the street without the rims, convinced me that defendant's shop was involved in the theft.   Defendant is such a liar).   Defendant can lie about the police report all he wants to, but it's written down, and an official record.  Defendant claims two other people flagged down the police, not plaintiff witness.    However, plaintiff witness is mentioned by name in the police report, and only one person flagged the officer down.

$2,000 to plaintiff.

Home Improvement Thief-Plaintiff Andrew Balogi accuses two cousins/defendant Richard Aus, of stealing his rebate check card for $627, from a home improvement store (Menard’s).     

 Plaintiff bought the $146 in merchandise, and then couldn't find the card later.    Defendant admits he used the rebate card, but defendant's cousin Justin Olson, actually used the $481 left on the rebate card. 

 Defendants claims they bought the card for $250, and didn't steal it.   However, as JJ correctly says, how did the village idiot defendants know how much was left on the card, without going into the store to verify the amount?  (Coon Rapids, MN is where defendant geniuses are from).

Plaintiff saw the defendants on surveillance video at the store. 

Plaintiff gets $481.   

Ill-Fated Roommates-Plaintiff Andrea Beltran suing defendant Edwin Huerta for an unpaid loan, and utility bills.  Defendant is a relative's ex-boyfriend, so the litigants moved in together, and plaintiff and her husband's names were on the lease.   Their rent and security paid by the litigants cancel each other out.   Then defendant used plaintiff's credit card.     

 It sounds like a lovely family, between people getting arrested for domestic violence, getting thrown out of houses, police looking for fugitive relatives, and screaming matches.    Defendant was already on probation for a DUI, when he had other charges for domestic violence on his girlfriend.    

Plaintiff woman is actually suing defendant for utility bills, after she kicked him out, but he had already paid rent for the month when she told him to leave.   Illegal eviction. 

The security deposit, and rent paid by the roommates cancel each other out, so nothing for anyone.

Niece Fights Aunt -Plaintiff/niece Lori James suing defendant/ aunt Charlene Adamski for rent and cleaning fees ($1450), defendant is counter suing for return of property from niece’s home.   

Aunt, her 19 year old son, and son’s pregnant girlfriend were homeless.   Son was incarcerated after this. 

Plaintiff didn’t meet her father and his sister, her aunt, until she was 26, that was 10 years ago.   Plaintiff had a relationship with son, but none with aunt, and son told her they were about to be homeless.   So, plaintiff let aunt, and son and girlfriend move in, and were there for 20 days in plaintiff’s home.    The agreement was $250 a month rent, clean common areas like the living room, kitchen, bathroom.   Plaintiff wants $250 a month for the one month aunt lived there, and then four additional months because aunt left property behind.  However, niece told aunt, et al to leave, and refused to give aunt her property until she paid the rent.   

JJ says niece should have given aunt the property, and then sued aunt for one month’s rent.  

Defendant given five days to pick up her property from plaintiff’s home.   Photos of aunt’s room are trashed, with stuff all over the floor, about a foot deep.  Police went with defendant to niece’s house, aunt claims niece slammed the door in officer’s face, and refused entry to officers without a warrant.

I’m really disliking both litigants. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Defendant has five days to pick up her stuff with a police escort.

Los Angeles Vacation Gone Wrong -Plaintiff Michael Rapuano suing defendant Michael Aron McCoy for a loan to defendant for a trip to Los Angeles.    Plaintiff and defendant and two other friends went to L.A. and airfare was covered by plaintiff.    Then, they went to Let’s Make a Deal, defendant and friend Marco, they won cash and prizes worth $24,000.    Now plaintiff wants the defendant to pay the cost of his trip to L.A.      Friend Marco sold the Philippines trip and gave defendant $850, grill was worth $2,000 is still for sale by Marco.   Defendant won $700, and Marco is selling stuff and giving it to defendant, since they played as a team.    Defendant took the money, $700, and Marco picked the curtain, and won $24000.   

The two winners wanted everything upgraded to better restaurants, flight, etc.  Marco is paying plaintiff, but he was the big winner.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Revengeful Roommates -Plaintiffs Audrey Gleason and boyfriend Anthony Dellerba, are suing defendant Renee Ruff  over breaking plaintiff’s rules, and moving out of their joint apartment.     Rent was $2300, Defendant’s portion was $675 plus $50 monthly cat rent.     Plaintiff has two bedrooms for her 5-year-old son, boyfriend, was pregnant again, and ground rules were agreed before move in.   

Plaintiff woman says she needed to be kept away from cat litter, cat or catsdsc had to be kept in defendant’s bedroom, and she wanted litter boxes clean four times a day (Isn’t that a lot of litter box cleaning?).   Defendant is counter suing for utilities, and moving costs.

Where did defendant get that hideous wig?

So, plaintiff woman told defendant the new rules about the cats, and defendant took her cats and left that night.     Defendant refused to pay rent for the next five months.    Plaintiff and boyfriend couldn’t afford to get off the lease, and she says plaintiff was uncooperative.

Plaintiff woman also says boyfriend and defendant had medical Marijuana licenses, and defendant said she would smoke in her room.   Plaintiff didn’t try to get another roommate, but moved to another apartment with her boyfriend and her two kids.    Plaintiff and love muffin and the kids lived in the apartment until the lease ran out in February.   I'm guessing the move to the other apartment, and no roommates was exactly what the plaintiff wanted all along.   

Plaintiff had defendant’s furniture, couch, dining room set, etc. was left behind, and plaintiff and her love muffin were using it. Plaintiff woman claims they never used the dining room set, or couch, and her boyfriend says they moved their own stuff in (crapola), and pushed defendant’s stuff aside.

Plaintiffs’ case dismissed, and defendant receives $2,000.  

In hall-terview plaintiff woman says a personal slur against the defendant's appearance.   That tells me everything about her I need to know.

Divorce Disaster -Plaintiff /ex-wife Diane Watson suing defendant/ex-husband Bryan Watson for half of the tax refund he received.    Plaintiff claims that even though she wasn’t working, and paid no income tax, that she’s entitled to get half of ex-husband’s refund (for 2012) because he took the deductions for the kids.   The couple have two kids, and have been divorced since 2013.   

Plaintiff supports herself on alimony for the last two years, and was on disability for carpel tunnel, and nerve damage (she worked at Bass Pro Shop), then lost her disability (SSDI) after social security denied her disability claim.  Plaintiff’s only income is alimony, ex-husband has fully supported the two kids (20 and 19 or 18) with no child support from plaintiff.

So, plaintiff had no income from work, just disability and worker’s comp in 2012, so no refund for her.  She paid no child support. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  The stunned look on plaintiff’s face at JJ telling her to get a job is epic.

Sexy Pics of an Ex-Plaintiff/ grandmother Pamela Atkinson is suing over a 5 year old laptop that the defendants’ Teri and Ryan Wiesemeyer’s daughter received, and sold.  Defendant daughter Faith 15- year-old says was a gift, that the girl resold.  Plaintiff grandson Patrick Kline is accused of blackmailing grandson's 15-year-old ex-girlfriend Faith with intimate photos. 

Grandson loaned/gave computer to girl, after grandmother gave grandson a new computer (Grandma gets $900 for the laptop) .    Grandmother has to put out the nasty statement that the 15-year-old girl had previous sexual experiences.   Plaintiff grandson was 17 and defendant was 15 when they were intimate.    Grandson lives full time with grandmother, since he was 18.   Grandson is now 19 and defendant is now 17.   Grandmother claims the nasty pictures and videos weren’t transferred to the new phone, they do the transfer at where ever you buy the phone.  

Grandson was 18 when he took nasty pictures of the 15-year-old girl, which is illegal.    Grandma bought grandson a new phone, so grandson had two phones, and the older one was confiscated by police because of the pictures.   (That's the oldest 16-year-old girl I've seen).   Grandson claims when they were breaking up girl borrowed his phone, and disappeared with it, this was after android phone was confiscated.   

However, girlfriend says ex-boyfriend was trying to blackmail her with the videos, and photos, and that's why she took the phone.     Grandson plead guilty (they should have charged him with more, and plea bargained down to something still requiring the sex offender registration), and grandma proudly mentioned that he didn't have to register as a sex offender.   

Grandma gets $900 for her five-year-old computer (unless she opens her nasty mouth again to comment, and JJ takes the money back).  (I would have given grandma $1).  

False Arrest and Compromising Photos-Plaintiffs Teri and Ryan Wiesemeyer are suing on behalf of their daughter (she’s only 16), because Faith Wiesemeyer claims she was falsely arrested for stealing a phone from the ex-boyfriend /defendant Patrick Kline,.   When he tried to blackmail her with the videos, and photos.  This is the defendant from the previous case, who was 15 when her then boyfriend, age 18, took photos, and videos of her naked, and tried to black mail her.    I would personally like to punch Grandma in her filthy mouth.     

Plaintiff wants the phone back, and he's not getting it.   Defendant girl was falsely arrested for stealing the phone.   Grandma has to add that 15-year-old girl wasn't sexually inexperienced.   Nasty old lady.     Defendant claims the phone was destroyed, and defendant did take the phone.    She wasn't falsely arrested, but the charges were dropped.     

False arrest case dismissed.      

Plaintiff POS grandson has a restraining order against him, and claims defendants are putting him through hell (Good).

(In my opinion the only person more despicable than the ex-boyfriend was the grandmother, who makes excuses for her POS grandson.)

Test Drive Mishap-Plaintiff Efrain Jaime suing motorcycle seller/defendant Christopher Velasquez, for taking a down payment of $2000 (defendant claims plaintiff only paid him $1900, then reselling the bike to someone else.   Down payment was $1,900, (plaintiff claims the envelope with the cash was counted and had $2000 in it), defendant kept the money, and plaintiff went to get agreement notarized.   

Plaintiff gave defendant $500 more ($2400), and gave him $200 more in a couple of weeks, totaling $2600.   Total payment was $2650 so far, according to defendant.  Or $3650 according to plaintiff.   However, defendant kept the bike, and resold it for $3200, and has no bill of sale.     

For a $4,000 bike, defendant made $5850.     The defendant is ridiculous.   

$2650 to plaintiff. 

Tail Light Takes the Heat-Plaintiff Robert Spriesterbach suing daughter's ex-boyfriend/defendant Kyle Neill for impound fees ($1600), after driving plaintiff's van on a suspended license.     However, van was pulled over for a broken taillight.    Defendant says he wouldn't have been pulled over except for the broken taillight. 

Plaintiff's daughter loaned the van to defendant, when he was pulled over, and van was impounded (no drivers license, and no registration on the van).     If the defendant had a driver's license, then he would have received a fix-it ticket for the light, so it was defendant's fault.   

(From watching Parking Wars, many jurisdictions impound your car for no driver's license, or registration, or insurance.  )

$1600 to plaintiff.

Mother Daughter Mayhem -Plaintiff/daughter LaShonda Brown suing defendant/mother Johnnie Hunt for a title loan ($3,000), and mother never paid the loan payments.   Mother says she babysat plaintiff’s kids more than plaintiff’s father did, so she shouldn’t have to repay the loan.    Mother fell on hard times, so needed money.     Mother worked at Reggie’s at Fort Irwin, and then at the post library, then the bowling alley, and lost all of those jobs (I can’t believe the defendant worked at Fort Irwin, the closest city is a long drive, and wouldn’t be worth the salary defendant would earn compared to the gas, and wear-and-tear on the car).

Plaintiff has a child with a disability, another who is getting taken off of disability, and only has a temp job for the local city.   I’m not liking her mother, asking her to get a title loan, and expecting plaintiff to pay for it.   Her father usually baby sits when she’s working.   Mother says she baby sits more than the father does, but plaintiff disputes that.   

JJ tells the litigants to work this out, and dismisses their case.    (Daughter says the $3,000 went for a trip to Belize, and other optional things.   Mother says she has friends who paid for her trips and entertainment.)

Family Fights Over Home! -Plaintiff Malisa Burdick. suing defendant/her mother Donna Ciganek for return of rent on the rent-to-purchase house, moving costs, and bills.   Defendant owned the house.   Plaintiff was paying rent to mother monthly $750 a month.   Plaintiff was living with her husband and three children in South Florida, but house went into foreclosure after husband had an accident.   House is co-owned by defendant and her ex-husband, he’s not plaintiff’s father.  

 Then, plaintiff and her three kids were living in the home in dispute, and husband was only visiting.  

Then, plaintiff was paying rent, and thought it was rent-to-purchase from mother, and seven months into the rental, foreclosure papers appeared at the rental home.    Defendant had stopped paying the mortgage, and daughter was getting evicted.    (Foreclosure was from former husband of defendant).

As JJ says, plaintiff paid seven months rent, lived in the house for 19 months, one year was zero rent.

Plaintiff case dismissed. Defendant’s counter claim for four months rent is dismissed too.

Second (2013)-

Pro Basketball Player Sued -Plaintiff/furniture seller Betty Brothers suing defendant/ former player Lamar Wright over the balance on furniture plaintiff sold to defendant.  Plaintiff was subletting her apartment to defendant, and he wanted the furniture. Plaintiff claims the price was $2500.        Down payment was from his team manager for $1250, but plaintiff claims defendant never paid the other $1250.  Defendant says balance was only $250, because price was $1500.   

Plaintiff witness, the apartment complex manager, was present at the showing, and claims defendant wanted everything in the apartment, and agreed to $2500.   Manager says the exact discussion on payments between the litigants was out of her presence.   

Plaintiff has written proof, but it’s signed by defendant’s manager Aurora, not signed by defendant.  Manager Aurora refused to come to court, so defendant brought his girl friend who was also a witness.  Then, something went wrong, and they ended up in JJ’s court.    Defendant says he only offered $250.

(Lamar Wright’s documentary was a crime documentary about his father’s murder, by his mother).

$1250 to plaintiff. 

Car Conundrum -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Valerie Bagala suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Josiah Quintana for the balance owed to her on a Prius.    Plaintiff was buying a house, and didn’t want the loan on her records, but she wanted the Prius.   So, defendant took out the loan on the Prius for $6,000, and when he paid it off, the Prius would belong to plaintiff in return for the $6,000 defendant paid on the Prius, and the Honda owned by plaintiff would go to defendant.     So, plaintiff has the Prius, defendant has the Honda, but never paid the loan off (at least I think that’s what happened).    

Prius was $3500 down, defendant paid $4100.   Honda was worth $6,000+.   

Defendant pays $1400 to plaintiff, and gets the Honda title signed over to defendant.

Plaintiff is not getting more than the $1900 from defendant.   

Prius title will be signed over to plaintiff, but she has to pay anything left on it, above the $1900 she’s getting from the court.

Plaintiff won’t sign the title, or shut up, so she’s sent back to local court.

Drinking Buddy Trouble-Plaintiff Lisa Lawhorne (37) and her father Laurus Johnson, suing defendant/ex-drinking buddy, and friend with benefits (35), Keith Nelson over damage to her father's condo he rented for her (a door, and a shower head).  Defendant’s condo is owned by his father Dennis Nelson.  Both litigants were drinking buddies, friends with benefits, and plaintiff claims defendant (lived in his daddy's neighboring upstairs condo), broke into her condo looking for booze.   

Sadly, both litigants are grown adults, with booze problems for over 10 years.   Plaintiff claims she's sober, but was drinking for many years.   Defendant claims plaintiff wanted him to do minor work in her condo.    Plaintiff has a one-year-old baby, claims she stopped drinking two years ago.   Defendant's father claims the defendant is sober, I'm not buying that either.   Apartment lease said no smoking, and defendant smoked in both apartments.  

I don't believe the plaintiff is sober, because she still has a lot of booze in her condo.   She claims to be 60 days sober.    

Defendant claims he had an open invitation to come into the apartment every morning.  Defendant's daddy says plaintiff's ex-boyfriend was abusive.     

Damages for door to plaintiff, $679, only for the door.  

Antique Hide and Seek-Plaintiff/furniture owner Anoush O’Connor suing defendant/antique consignment shop owner Andrew Himmel for non-payment for her consigned furniture.    It's not just non-payment.  Plaintiff found the pads for the table, took them to the store, to drop the pads off for the table, and didn’t see anything she consigned on the floor.      Plaintiff claims defendant told her some furniture sold, but never sent her the money she was owed. 

Defendant claims some furniture sold, but never paid plaintiff for them.    Then, plaintiff claims that items were hidden on a storage floor that customers didn't have access to, and until the forfeiture clause in the defendant's shady contract kicked in, and he could keep the furniture.   Plaintiff says she has a lot of emails from other cheated clients of defendant.

$1590 to the plaintiff.  (I love that when the case was over, the plaintiff left first, and Byrd raised his hand to stop the defendant from following directly behind her).

Woman Shot by BB Gun-Plaintiff Silviano Romo, and (wife) Blanca Martinez are suing defendant Christopher Moore for shooting her with a BB gun when she was walking down the street, with her husband, plaintiff wants her medical bills paid.    Plaintiff woman was the victim of the BB.  

Plaintiff woman felt a pain in her leg, 911 was called, and plaintiff was arrested.     The boyfriend, defendant was shooting from the upstairs window in the girlfriend's apartment.    Defendant was arrested twice, once for this assault, and once for conspiracy.   Defendant's accomplice (named Kelley) was also arrested, and has an arrest record also.    

Defendant's girlfriend claims the boyfriend didn't do it, but was found hiding the BB guns in her place, and he was shooting out of her apartment.     Defendant's accomplice Mr. Kelley, blames the shooting on defendant.   

I can't believe the girlfriend's statements.   18 years old, and shacking up with a looser like the defendant.  Defendant witness, Ariel Salgado, is the girlfriend.   I hope she wised up about defendant. 

$2600 are plaintiff's medical bills.    BB is still in her leg, because of the damage that could be caused by removing the BB.    Defendant is a POS, and the girlfriend in a fool.  

Plaintiff receives $2600 for medical bills.

Coon Hound Chaos-Plaintiff Durron Cook suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Kenneth Lukomski for damage to plaintiff's apartment by defendant's coon hound, when defendant's dog stayed at plaintiff's home.   One day defendant brought coon hound over (just over a year old), to stay at plaintiff's house, while defendant was doing long haul truck driving.   

Defendant already had six other dogs, and puppy wasn't fitting in.   I wonder who was watching the other six dogs?    Plaintiff says defendant didn't return for the dog, and dog did a lot damage.   When plaintiff told defendant about the amount of damages, and that dog had to leave.   

 Defendant said "just drop him off at the Humane Society", so plaintiff did.    Day one, blinds on a few rooms were destroyed.  Day two, plaintiff left dog in bathroom, which dog damaged too.  Defendant only had the dog for less than a week, when he dumped dog on plaintiff.   Defendant is claiming the plaintiff's Chihuahua did the damage.    Photos of the destruction are epic.

Barbershop Brawl-Plaintiff Micheal Clucleasure suing defendant/former best friend/barber  Gary "Josh" Williams for medical bills, lost wages, and punitive damages due to an assault.  Litigants have been friends their whole life, and defendant is the plaintiff's barber.    Plaintiff went to the barber shop, was waiting for a haircut, both litigants stepped out for a drink.     (I never saw the last name Culcleasure before).   

Plaintiff was waiting, and claims defendant hit him, held a straight razor to the man's neck, then they started fighting.   Plaintiff claims defendant pulled a gun out of his boot, and shot into the ceiling of the barber shop, and others locked plaintiff out of the barber shop. 

So, plaintiff claims that others locked out the victim, but locked themselves inside with the guy with the gun and razor?    Plaintiff claims defendant stabbed his arm several times with a razor.   

Defendant says he's only part time barber, plaintiff came in without an appointment.    Defendant says plaintiff jumped him, and started fighting, and was locked out by the owner of the barber shop.    Plaintiff didn't call the police, and only talked to them at the hospital.   He didn't want to file charges.     

 Case dismissed. 

Mom Owes Me-Plaintiff son Willie Young , suing defendant/mother Danielle Freeman for balance of a car loan he co-signed for.    However, the twist is that son was driving the mother's car when he totaled it.      Wreck was called 50/50 by police.    Son is ticked that mother agreed to pay the $3,000, and instead had him co-sign for her car, put up an expensive fence, etc.   

JJ asks mother if she agreed to give son $3,000.  Son says mother claims the car had gap insurance, so it should have been covered.   

Mother says she agreed to give son the $3,000, but changed her mind.    You can't get gap insurance in some cases, and the mother didn't "take gap insurance off of her car" the way the son says.   The mother had a Jeep she purchased before the car that was wrecked, so no gap insurance on the second car is my guess. 

$3,000 to plaintiff.   

Second (2016)-

Move Back in With Mom-Plaintiff Caroline Dillow suing defendant/ex-live in boyfriend Evert Byus for breaking their lease, and an unpaid loan.   

However, plaintiff never paid rent, ever.     Plaintiff was only person on lease, the third roommate was incarcerated, so he's gone, and defendant was the only rent paying tenant.    Plaintiff went into the next month on the apartment, and that means another month's rent.   Plaintiff's mother agrees with JJ, daughter is too young, and immature to be on her own.  

Defendant paid utilities, rent, and plaintiff paid nothing.    Plaintiff did pay for food, and supplies.    Plaintiff was sent a bill for breaking the lease of $4800. 

 The apartment complex will get $2420 for defendant's half of lease breaking fee.   

Unwed Parents and the Stolen Guitar-Plaintiff Kyliee Cupp(daughter, and mother of child with defendant) and  her father Kevin Weeks are suing the defendant/father of her six- year-old Ilya Vaysfeld, for mishandling plaintiff's property (she claims he disposed of her father's classic Fender guitar).   

Plaintiff visits her child often, but defendant has full custody, and he lives at his mother's house.     Defendant's mother told plaintiff she could not live in her house.   

The day in question, plaintiff was supposed to go and get groceries for the child, and defendant gave her $200,  but she instead left and didn't return.   So, defendant put her stuff outside.   Defendant is counter suing for stolen money.    Defendant says he put items on walled patio, that no one could see into.   Everything disappeared, and I bet plaintiff has it.   

Case dismissed.

First (2013)-

Video Game Pile-Up -Plaintiffs Alicia Koeb and Sarah Wood are suing temporary housing landlady / defendants Aleeyah Davis(daughter, 17 years old) and (mother) Lorraine Levine for the despicable expo housing room share.   The defendant daughter , Aleeyah, rented the apartment off of a web site, to re-rent to  Boston video game convention goers.  Plaintiffs signed up for the housing share, and when they arrived there were over a dozen men in the apartment also.   $85 each for three nights.  

Daughter defendant says she wasn’t making any money, but she was.  Ad says everyone gets a bed, and breakfast supplied, for three people, plus three others.   Instead, the place was packed when the plaintiffs showed up.    It was advertised as a 3 bedroom, but it was actually a 1 bedroom, with 12 men in it, plus Aleeyah.    Defendant admits the apartment had 8 already there, plus another woman arriving soon, plus two plaintiffs, so 11, and later 12.    Plaintiff says the apartment reeked of “Man”.   

Did Aleeyah and her mom go to the hairdresser from hell?   Bad wig on daughter.

Plaintiffs slept at the convention center parking lot in their car.   Daughter Aleeyah has been doing this for years.  My guess is mother actually does the rental, who would rent anything to a 17-year-old?

Plaintiffs get $170.

Child Support Scammer -Plaintiff/SSMOT-(Sainted Single Mother of Two with defendant) Lauren Marquis suing defendant/baby daddy Angelo Soares for a loan to defendant to pay his bills, $4,100.   Plaintiff claims the defendant didn’t pay her back.  Defendant claims he was paying child support for the first year to plaintiff in cash.  Plaintiff denies defendant paid her $125 a week for child support in cash.  

When plaintiff went to court for a child support order, the garnished amount includes insurance too, and court charges him arrearages.      However, the arrearage was only because plaintiff lied about defendant paying her child support for that first year.

Defendant says the gift only became a loan when the litigants’ plans to get back together fell through.

Plus, the litigants’ kids are cared for by defendant’s mother, and always have been.

Plaintiff claim dismissed. 

Second (2013)-

Friends Turned Enemies -Plaintiff Deborah Lipinski suing defendant Sandra Hyla  (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Two)  for repayment of a credit card charge for defendant’s child’s school clothes, loans.      Defendant says she never could have repaid plaintiff, and charges to credit card were gifts.   The twist is plaintiff claimed the credit card charges were theft, and had the charges reversed the charges with her credit card, and credit card company wrote the charges off.    So, plaintiff wants to be paid for something she lied to the credit card company, to get the charges reversed. 

Cable company bill was reversed off of credit card, so that is still owed by defendant to the cable company.   After the reversals of $1300+, and $517 is left.   Rent-A-Center purchase was $51, and $247 for car insurance for defendant.  

Plaintiff claims another loan for rent, $500+.   Plaintiff claims defendant spent her rent money at the casino.   (Casino is in Buffalo, NY).  Defendant claims the loan was when she was out of work, for rent, and she didn’t spend it at the casino.

$1315 to plaintiff

Live-In Boyfriend or Not? -Plaintiff Tiffany Dixon suing defendant Seneca Malone for moving out of their apartment.   Plaintiff moved her boyfriend in to their apartment, never paid for him, and didn’t have permission to move him in from the landlord, or signed the lease.    Plaintiff has two kids, and defendant has one child.      Boyfriend stayed with Plaintiff, and sleeps over in her room, and as JJ says that’s not helping her with the children.  

Defendant says plaintiff moved boyfriend in the day they moved into the apartment, he never left, never paid rent, and wasn’t on the lease.   Plaintiff claims boyfriend helps with her kids.   Lease says only litigants, their children, and no one else could live there without being on the lease.  Boyfriend of plaintiff was there 3 to 4 days a week.   

Then there was an argument between boyfriend, and defendant, because man was smoking weed in the apartment, and had all kinds of strangers visiting the apartment, and rent/utilities were only paid by litigants.

Plaintiff broke the lease, moved in an illegal tenant, and will get nothing. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2016)-

Seizure Shakedown-Plaintiff Alyssa White suing former friend/defendant Isaiah Akbar for an unpaid loan to pay for his court fines, clothing costs, airline ticket, and something else I didn't catch.   Defendant claims it was a gift.  The defendant's witness is his new girlfriend, but both litigants say plaintiff and defendant were just friends.     New girlfriend told plaintiff about defendant's money for plane ticket needs, and as usual, new girlfriend denies saying this. 

Defendant was in California, and needed money to go back to New Jersey, after defendant had seizure, and no money to get home.   Defendant claims to have a seizure, but no confirmation from medical records, and had to pay his own way back to New Jersey.   While in California, defendant missed a court date for speeding, and the plaintiff paid his bail, and court costs, $210 (for speeding). 

 $428 for plaintiff.   

Valentine's Day Forgiveness-Plaintiff Tina Corley suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Daniel Fobes for car loan (2004 Toyota Corolla), and repairs.  Plaintiff still owed $1,000 on car, so the defendant repo'd the car.   

Defendant sold others cars to plaintiff over the years, and always paid for them in full.     Plaintiff claims defendant forgave the $1,000 car loan as a present for Valentine's Day.  Plaintiff claims the car repo was because they had a fight. 

$1500 to plaintiff, and defendant keeps his car.    Plaintiff signs title over to defendant.  

Second (2016)-

Bloody Break-In-Plaintiff Anita Leach suing ex-fiance/defendant Robert Johnson, for security deposit, and unpaid bills.  Defendant says plaintiff left a date, walked home, and broke the window, and cut herself badly.    

 Plaintiff claims she lost her part of the security deposit because defendant moved out suddenly, but he claims she locked him out.   

 Defendant claims plaintiff kept telling him to leave, and he finally did.   Defendant is counter suing for car vandalism that he's blaming on plaintiff, that he says happened before he moved out.   

Case dismissed for both litigants. 

Don't Block My Number-Plaintiff Stephen Gowers claims defendant/ex-girlfriend Rebecca Preston  blocked him on all social media, and phones, and was cheating on him, and he wants the lease breaking fee he paid to get them out of their lease.   Litigants still shared the house, but separate bedrooms.   Plaintiff claims defendant owes him for utilities.       

Defendant sent him a message that her adult kids were going to move in with her, but plaintiff should stay on the lease because he had good credit.       Plaintiff paid all of the utilities, and security ($1500).   

Defendant couldn't qualify for the apartment lease, and neither could her adult children.  Defendant said in text that her adult children were going to move in, and pay security and utilities.    Plaintiff had to pay the judgment for lease breaking, $2,580.     

Plaintiff gets $2580.

First (2013)-

Rent Free and Smoking Pot? -Plaintiff/ex-tenant/daughter Kristina Gach suing defendant/mother Kathleen Gach for return of rent.   Plaintiff claims she cleaned defendant’s house for $80 a day, and rent was $400 but the rent would be returned after plaintiff and boyfriend moved out.   Plaintiff, boyfriend, and their baby.  Defendant is counter claiming for missing property, rent, and other stuff.

After plaintiff, boyfriend (Ted Altizer), stayed at defendant’s house for five or six months to qualify for low-income housing.    They moved into the downstairs 1 bed, 1 bath apartment in defendant’s house.     Plaintiff claims clients pay her from $80 to $145 a day for house cleaning.     Defendant says plaintiffs were deadbeats, never paid rent, smoked pot in her house, and she finally kicked them out.   

JJ tells the plaintiff daughter that her mother will always be in her life, after deadbeat boyfriend in long gone.     If mother is smart, she’ll change the locks, and never let plaintiff or her deadbeat boyfriend in her house again. 

Plaintiff gets $800.     Defendant case dismissed. 

Ex-Fiance Fiasco -Plaintiff Bryan McClarnan suing defendant/ex-fiance Janine Crosswhite   for missed car payments and damages on a car plaintiff took loan out on for defendant.

Defendant never made any payments, apparently no maintenance either, and finally gave car back to plaintiff.  She’s now driving a 1996 Honda Prelude, purchased for $800.   When car became undrivable, defendant dumped car on plaintiff.    Defendant deferred eight payments (unpaid), and transmission repair was over $300.

The original car was on a six year payment plan.   

$ 2998 to plaintiff.   

Second (2013)-

Pit Bull Attack! -Plaintiff Sandy Glick (mother) and David Glick (son, 13) suing defendant/Pit Bull owner Gloria and Mario Holguin for an attack by defendant’s dog.  Plaintiffs want medical bills, and pain and suffering.   The litigants are neighbors, with a fenced vacant lot in between.    Plaintiff son, and friends play ball on the vacant lot.   David Glick says he was hitting balls from his yard to the vacant lot.    Defendant wife claims dog is an American Bulldog/mutt mix (aka, it’s a Pit Bull mix).  

David Glick claims he was picking the balls up in the vacant lot, when defendant’s dog came under their fence, and attacked him three times.    David Glick’s father rescued him from the dog.  

Plaintiff witness is a neighbor who was washing dishes, looking out the back window, and saw the plaintiff son picking up balls in the vacant lot.   Then, witness saw defendant’s dog attacking the son in the vacant lot.    Medical records are presented.  

Plaintiff mother’s insurance company said that if plaintiff is paid for any bills, that the company will have to be reimbursed for bills.  

Photos of plaintiff son’s bite marks are bad.    Son had to be kept home from school for a week, and no strenuous activities for another week. 

Defendant man’s story is a lie.  Defendant claims it’s not his dog. Defendant claims the dog belongs to his son, who lives in his home.    Defendant man says the kid was trespassing on vacant lot, and besides his dog didn’t bite anyone.  

Defendant claims dog protects the vacant lot, but he’s not the owner.  Defendant man says plaintiff son instigated the attack.      Defendant claims dog is protecting the other property, and says no one can go on the vacant lot owned by someone else, play ball or walk there.    I think the dog should be put down, along with defendant, his awful wife, and their stupid son.

Defendant wife talks about the vicious and dangerous dog hearing.   Hearing notes redacted the addresses.  Dog was judged potentially dangerous, has to constantly watched outside, and other restrictions.    Defendant claims someone sabotaged their fence.   Dog has a bite history too. Dog’s owner, the defendant son actually tells the truth.    Dog is not covered under homeowner’s insurance.  Defendant son had to buy special insurance to cover the dog after the vicious/dangerous dog hearing.  Defendant wife claims the kids throw the balls at their yard, and antagonize the dog.   Defendants are despicable, and I hope animal control kept a close eye on how they controlled the animal. 

Plaintiff gets $2,500 , and insurance will receive their share.

College Car Confusion -Plaintiff Angela Walker (daughter) and Roderick Walker (father) suing defendant /mechanic Douglas Stevenson over the car purchased for daughter, $1,000 deposit on total price of  $1800.    Plaintiff father says the second they bought the car, the defendant took car to work on it.    When mechanic went to do the timing chain or timing belt, he ran into issues, and had to replace the motor.   Then, plaintiffs backed out of the deal after more than a month.

Defendant has the car, and it’s running.  

JJ tells defendant to sell car.

plaintiffs get their $1,000 deposit returned

First (2016)-

Italian Mastiff Mating Mess-Plaintiff Juanita Phillips was stud owner of Cane Corso/Italian Mastiff (an aggressive guard breed, not for amateurs) who wants money from defendant Michael Stevens after he didn't pay a stud fee.  Defendant says all of the puppies died within three days of birth.    Defendant claims there was no stud fee, just two puppies to plaintiff.   

Plaintiff claims this was the only breeding, but plaintiff has a breeding pair, and out of her 12 puppies, 9 died by four months, of parvo.   The other three sold for $1,000 each, and plaintiff claims they were healthy.        Defendant also bought two puppies from plaintiff, for $400 each, and puppies got sick, and plaintiff picked them up.   

Puppies had parvo, according to defendant, but defendant says one was put down, and the other was given back to defendant.        (I hate both of these litigants, they sell to anyone who pays them the money.   And that garbage about first litter, was just that, garbage.  No screening of homes).  Defendant had a previous stud he got rid of.   

Plaintiff's son claims there was a $900 stud fee agreement.    Text messages say $800.   Plaintiff gets $800.    It sounds like the plaintiff's home is infected with parvo, and has never been cleaned properly.    

Plaintiff’s son is her witness and explains the real story, but it’s still confusing.   Plaintiff had the male and female Cane Corso, they had 12 puppies, and defendant bought two of them for $400 each.   The agreement was $400 each for two puppies.  I don’t know why it’s a stud fee, because it’s really a puppy selling fee.

$800 to plaintiff.

Family Friendly Drinking-Plaintiff Mary Anderson suing defendant/daughter's former friend Samantha Salazar for car repairs, rental fees, and lost wages.   

 Daughter of plaintiff and defendant were drinking shots at plaintiff's house, and then plaintiff went to bed.      Then there is a phone call from plaintiff's daughter saying plaintiff's car was in a bad accident, says defendant was driving, and the accident happened.   Defendant was driving, with a suspended license, and was driving because she was more sober than plaintiff's daughter.   

Car only had liability insurance, and car is drivable.   Defendant claims plaintiff daughter grabbed her hand, and caused the accident.  Defendant was arrested, for driving on a suspended license, (for failure to appear defendant's lying about why she was suspended), and DUI.     Defendant actually was suspended for moving violations.     As usual, defendant does home health care.   

$2100 to plaintiff, and plaintiff daughter will pay the other $1,000+.  I wouldn’t have paid the plaintiffs a penny.

Second (2016)-

Teen Basketball Player vs. Tough Coach-Plaintiff grandmother  suing basketball travel league owner for refund of league dues.   Former basketball coach says he's hard on players, but he expects them to put out effort, and show up for all practices.      (I remember this, and eventually the granddaughter did play for a college team).     

Granddaughter received a discounted rate for 7th and 8th grade, and then in ninth grade grandmother was charged nothing.   League owner says he knew the grandmother couldn't afford full price, and granddaughter had a lot of potential.     

This last year grandmother was charged $1400 ($500 off the full price, and the only player on the team with a discount).    Coach is a yeller, and so granddaughter quit, and after she was pulled from a game.   Granddaughter didn't want to go to last minute practice, and then she quit soon after.        The reason granddaughter wants to be on the travel league is to show her skills to college scouts.  Granddaughter had played for the same coach before, without issues.   

Plaintiff gets $1,000.   (I wouldn’t have given the plaintiff a penny.  The grandmother had reduced fees for the entire playing career of granddaughter.)

First (2013)-

Grieving Son Sues Father -Plaintiff/son Darrell “DJ” Carlson Jr suing defendant/father Darrell Carlson Sr. over missing furniture from the family home after the mother’s death.  Defendant’s witness is his new girlfriend.  This happened in Minnesota.   Son survives on SS Disability PTSD for losing several family members in short order.   A cousin, Christina Hedquist, is trying to get him back to school, and back on track.   

Son is trying to get furniture from the family home.   Father has the property, and it’s stored.    Everything from late mother, nephew, etc. is all stored.  Plaintiff will get all of the furniture, lamps, etc. that belonged to the mother will go back to the son.

Son was living with mother, and she was divorced from defendant for a couple of years.    Defendant witness is defendant’s new girlfriend.  

Son gets furniture back from storage, in Red Wing, MN.   So, my understanding is after the ex-wife died, defendant pillaged everything.    Anything, like TVs that are good, defendant swears he doesn’t know where it is.   JJ says the marshals will check the storage, and defendant’s home for the property son owns.  Items are actually stored in defendant’s girlfriend’s sister’s garage. However, in sworn statement defendant and girlfriend said property was stored in a commercial storage unit.

Plaintiff receives $1500, and will go to the other woman’s house and marshal will help him go through stuff, and get his property back.    

A Thief in the Night -Plaintiff Pamela Smith suing defendant/former friend Brittany Baldwin over her car getting impounded, after defendant was pulled over for speeding in the car.     Plaintiff took defendant into her home after she was homeless.   Plaintiff wants $5,000 for impound fees, and transportation costs after the car was impounded, because defendant was driving when car was impounded.    Plaintiff claims defendant took the car without permission.   

Defendant had no license, was speeding, and claims she never told plaintiff she didn’t have a license.  Car was impounded because of no insurance coverage, and defendant’s lack of license.  Car was not safe to drive because of bad brakes.     

Plaintiff didn’t go to get her car out of impound, because she had no insurance, so she couldn’t get car out of impound (see Parking Wars for f-stops, lack of insurance, and probably lapsed registration, for why plaintiff wouldn’t ever be getting her car back). 

Plaintiff case dismissed.   So much for plaintiff’s $5,000 bonanza from JJ, actually Officer Byrd’s wallet.

In hall-terview defendant says she was drinking, so doesn’t really remember a lot from that day.  I’m wondering if lack of insurance, and license wasn’t the major issue with the officers, but the fact that defendant was drunk.

Second (2013)-

Mom and Son’s Fiance Fight! -Plaintiff/mother Patricia Morgan suing defendant/son’s fiance Sharlie Carr claiming she destroyed plaintiff’s belongings when she was moving out, and failed to pay rent. Defendant and son stayed as tenants in mother’s house.   Defendant says there was no agreement to pay rent, and claims plaintiff’s dogs probably did the property damage.  

Actually, defendant seems fairly level headed.    Defendant son/fiance doesn’t seem to have a brain. 

Plaintiff says defendants packed her stuff up when she was out of town, because plaintiff was going to move in a few months.    Plaintiff claims she never said defendant could pack her stuff in garbage bags, when defendant and son were moving out.  Defendants claim plaintiff’s dogs ripped the garbage bags of plaintiff’s property up.    

Plaintiff claims dismissed.  

User Boyfriend -Plaintiff/mother Jo Ann Adame (SSMOO-Sainted Single Mother of One) is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Bruce Coolidge for a Disneyland park pass, and utility bills.  Plaintiff claims when they broke up, plaintiff claimed he would pay her back for everything when he got back on his feet.    The duo lived together for 10 years, and have a two-year-old together.   Defendant says everything plaintiff wants was from when they lived together, and were operating as a family. 

Also, defendant was a stay-at-home caregiver to their child.  How much does Disney charge for a two-year-old? 

Plaintiff claims dismissed.

Door Destruction -Plaintiff/sister Kendra Peters suing defendant/brother Leon Peters for breaking down her back door.   Plaintiff was working out of town, so brother was talking to her about moving into her house with plaintiff and her children.   

Defendant/brother says he needed to get into the house, so he kicked the back door in.   Defendant, his wife, and kid needed to get into the house, didn’t have a key, so the door suffered for his lack of planning.

$424 to plaintiff for the door. Not the bonanza of $1500 the plaintiff wanted.

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Borrowed and Crashed-Plaintiff Gadi Pointer suing ex-friend/defendant Regan Peterson for car damages, that defendant borrowed with his permission.    Defendant says plaintiff rents his car to people, and paid plaintiff $75 to rent his car for the night.    Defendant also claims the plaintiff uses his car as an unofficial taxi, giving rides cheaper than cabs. 

Plaintiff had car insurance through a friend's policy, not his own policy.  Car was still being financed, and that requires full coverage, not just liability that plaintiff piggybacked from his friend.  Then, plaintiff claims car was paid off, titled in his name, and liability insurance.    Insurance paperwork has liability only, not collision, and he's listed as an additional driver on the friend's policy. 

 I don't think the car was drivable after the picture submitted by the plaintiff, but plaintiff claims it was drivable when she left the car at plaintiff’s house.   So it’s not  the same "minor fender bender" the defendant had.     There is a lot left out.   Plaintiff doesn't have proper insurance, is operating a business without proper license, and it is definitely a fraud on the insurance company. 

$4000 to plaintiff.

Senior Stairway Fail-Plaintiff/landlord Steve Milano suing former tenant/defendant Crystal Williams for damages to her rental unit, and unpaid rent.  Defendant lived in apartment since 2012 (for three years), with month-to-month.  Counter claim is for security deposit ($736).    Plaintiff claims defendant stopped paying rent, and filed for unlawful detainer (eviction), and she didn't pay for the two last months.   Defendant claims she fell down the stairs twice at the apartment, and sued for $50,000 for the first fall, and won that, and another suit will be filed for the second fall.    (Sorry but if you fell, and had $50K in injuries, and fell again, you won't be standing up in court).   

Defendant claims that her lawyers had an agreement that she didn't have to pay the last two months’ rent as long as she moved out.   Plaintiff/landlord submits the photos, and bills for damages.    (Another reason on my extensive list of why I'll never be a landlord).      What did that woman do to that carpet?   

Defendant wanted a first-floor unit, but lived on the second floor.   Now I can see why she "fell", and sued.   Defendant was offered a first-floor unit, but they cost more money, and defendant refused to pay more money.     There was a list of 16 items defendant wanted fixed in the apartment, and many were fixed, but defendant wanted the first-floor unit which was $700 more a month.

Plaintiff started the unlawful detainer/eviction action because defendant didn’t pay two month’s rent. I agree with plaintiff in hall-terview, defendant is a professional tenant. 

Plaintiff gets $1500.  He also keeps the $736 security deposit.  (Sadly, this case inspires JJ to tell the “Ate the Steak” story again).

Second (2016)-

Pitiful Pitch-Plaintiff /homeowner Nancy Carroll suing contractor/defendant Ian Hoffman over a home addition.    Defendant is a licensed plumber, but not a licensed contractor in Virginia, where this happened.    Defendant was hired to add an enclosed  porch onto her home.   

There is a signed contract covering the work, and the scope of work, and $6,000 total was paid to the defendant.    I don't think the deck was built according to code, and it doesn't look like the structure is up to date, but that may be the before picture.      

$5,000 to plaintiff.   

Workman's Comp Chaos-Plaintiff Shawn Cornett suing former friend/defendant Timothy Duncan for money owed for helping defendant's mother close a workman's comp case.   Plaintiff claims that defendant's mother needed help to resolve her worker's comp case, and she would pay him $2,000.   

Plaintiff hasn't worked since 2004, and is recently on disability, and was unemployed for over 10 years.    Somehow plaintiff interfered in the case, and the attorney actually communicated with him.   Was plaintiff qualified to interfere in the worker’s comp (it was called Workman’s Comp before, now it’s Worker’s Comp) case?    I doubt it.     I wonder if plaintiff’s working part time conflicts with his disability or unemployment payments?   I agree with JJ, why was plaintiff sticking his nose in this Worker’s Comp case?   Plaintiff had zero right to talk to her attorney, go to the doctor with her, and he had no standing in this case.

Plaintiff has no case.     In hall-terview, defendant says his mother had dementia, and wasn’t competent to do anything with this case. 

Shady Car Deal-Plaintiff/car buyer Carolyn Omatayo aw car by side of the road, near a car lot, and bought it from defendant James Daniels . Car wasn’t in a car lot, but near a car lot.  

 Plaintiff is suing defendant who sold her the car, because she claims the title was not in his name, and car was stolen.      DMV called police, and car was impounded.     Plaintiff paid $8,000 for a car that KBB says is worth $7300.     

Case is dismissed without prejudice, to go back and try it locally.

First (2013)-

Trust Fund Raid -Plaintiff/daughter Abby Jensen suing defendant father James “Jamie” Jensen over her missing trust fund that father raided.  Father admits he took the money from daughter’s account, but he claims it was to save money from spendthrift daughter.   Trust fund was $4647, started with $1100, set up by defendant’s mother and brother for plaintiff when she turns 21.   Defendant was trustee on the account, took the money, and put it in another bank under his name. 

Paperwork says father/defendant’s name, not Trust Account.    JJ tells defendant to put money in the trust, or daughter/plaintiff will file criminal felony charges in five days.

Plaintiff gets her $4647 into the trust fund she gets at 21 (she’s 19 now). Defendant says daughter demanded her money, but plaintiff says she didn’t, and knows she has to wait until 21.    The other account was a joint father, and daughter account (she was a minor).   The plaintiff put the earnings since she was 16 in that account, and when she was no longer a minor she took the money out of that account, and father say some of the money was his.  Defendant claims he had a pay check in the closed account, daughter took the money.  

Daughter wants money for car for college.    I would be proud to have a grownup child like the daughter.     She’s so hard working, and responsible.   Daughter is going to a community college for two years, and she works full time.   Plaintiff lives on her own, and works full time now, and is going to college in the fall.

Father shows his true personality, criticizing the daughter, and the way she lives.  He keeps saying daughter wasn’t the girl he raised, and blaming the bad relationship with her on daughter moving in with her mother.   

Daughter closed the joint account two years ago, so defendant claim dismissed as too old to pursue.    Plus, I would bet so-called father probably blew through the money.    

JJ tells defendant he has five days to put the trust account money back in the bank, and in a trust account for the daughter, or criminal charges will be filed.  $4647 to account, or applied directly to the college for tuition.   

Furniture Fight -Plaintiff Julia Easley suing defendants/former roommates Amanda Strobridge and (Amanda’s boyfriend) Kole Klentz after they kept her furniture.   The three met online, and after that they moved in together into an apartment with a year’s lease.  

When plaintiff decided to move with a boyfriend, and told defendants’ she was breaking her lease, defendants kept her furniture.   Defendants couldn’t afford the lease without a third roommate, so were going to sell the dining room set, a few chairs end table, minor kitchen stuff, DVD player, and other stuff.   

Then plaintiff’s boyfriend was discharged from the Air Force, and went home without her, so plaintiff stayed at the apartment.   

Plaintiff gets her furniture back, and is told if she doesn’t pick it up in five days, it’s gone.  Defendants are paying $692 lease breaking fee.   Plaintiff claims that’s not her money to pay.

$692will be paid to defendants, when furniture goes back to plaintiff.

Hall-terview is hysterical with plaintiff saying how wonderful she is.  Defendants say when the plaintiff met her “Facebook Man” online, she started doing ridiculous stuff, and moved her ‘psycho’ mother in to the apartment. I have to wonder if "Facebook Man" even existed? Or if he was in the Air Force, or honorably discharged?     Plaintiff’s mother is in hall-terview too, and denies being psycho. (Hall-terview was the best part of the case). 

Second (2013)-

Smashed Windshield -Plaintiff Chaz Matsuura-Smith suing defendant/plaintiff’s sister ex-boyfriend, and father of plaintiff’s nephew, Gerren Grey over smashing his windshield with a hammer.   Defendant claims he didn’t smash the windshield.   Plaintiff brought the rock in question to court with him, from Las Vegas.   Plaintiff says the litigants were in mediation for a year about this case, which failed. 

Defendant was also in mediation over visitation and child support over their mutual child.   Defendant claims he was secretly meeting his baby mama (plaintiff’s sister), and they were intimate.    

Plaintiff has text messages from defendant about the windshield.   At 4 a.m., defendant claims he went to the plaintiff’s house, with a new found friend from a bar, and the other guy broke the windshield. 

Car was totaled, but after the windshield was fixed, so plaintiff gets the windshield money.   Plaintiff only had liability, so had to pay for the windshield himself.   He did receive $8,000 for the car from insurance.    

$891 to plaintiff.  

Financial Friendship -Plaintiff Veronica Chacon suing defendant/former friend Mirna Mondragon for  unpaid loans to buy a car, and for rent.     Defendant needed money for a car down payment, and she asked plaintiff for money from plaintiff’s student loans, and money was a gift.   Defendant paid $100 to plaintiff a year later, and no other repayment.   

Plaintiff had scholarships, and financial aid, plus $1,000 stipend for living expenses.    Plaintiff’s husband works full time, and plaintiff worked part time.    Car title was in defendant’s name, but plaintiff has possession of the car.   Defendant has no drivers license, and didn’t when she had the car.  

Defendant’s roommate told plaintiff that defendant had tickets on the car, so plaintiff would have to pay the tickets to register the car in her name.   Car cost $4,000 when it was purchased.  

Plaintiff was going to keep car until defendant paid her the loan amount back.  

Defendant signs the title back to plaintiff, and JJ tells plaintiff to sell the car, and should get $2,000, plus gets $2,000 cash.

President Obama Dancing!?-Plaintiff Syomone Johnson-Hawkins suing former roommate/defendant Shandrea Grant for unpaid rent and damages.   Defendant wasn’t on the original lease, but plaintiff claims she signed the roommate addendum, but defendant claims she never signed the roommate addendum (there is a signed addendum from litigants, including the defendant’s signature).   

Defendant moved out in end of November, but left her stuff behind through the end of December, so she owes rent for three months, plus part of another month.  Plaintiff claims defendant trashed the apartment, but the picture of apartment damages is of the Obama's dancing. 

 $538 for rent to plaintiff.   The Obama's get photo credit, and that's all.  

Second (2016)-

My Child is a Nightmare...-Plaintiff/babysitter Krystal Harris suing defendant/so-called mother Sheena Grimstad and boyfriend Daniel Farber for non-payment of babysitting fees.   Defendant mother says her child is a nightmare, so she never takes the baby with her.  Defendant says the county should have paid plaintiff, and she didn't want to pay the baby sitter. 

Defendant wasn't even working when the plaintiff babysat the kids.     Defendant's current boyfriend is not the father of any of the defendant woman's four children. 

Defendant gets assistance from the county while she’s working, but at the time of the babysitting, defendant wasn’t going to work.  

Defendant claims plaintiff didn't want to be paid for babysitting because it would interfere with her own benefits.   

Defendant says her daughter told plaintiff about allegations of sexual abuse by the ex-boyfriend, not the current boyfriend, and defendant claims the plaintiff didn't report her to CPS until after the money issue came up.      

$200 for plaintiff.

(Found this on a post on here, about this case from stephinmn-

The defendant from the repeat, "My child is a nightmare" died a few years ago in a car accident. She had four daughters. The boyfriend is listed in the obit.   Also, she was from Minnesota, in the small city my husband grew up in. 

ETA: She was driving too fast on a four lane highway, and crashed into a pole. Fortunately, no one else was injured.

DUI Feud-Plaintiff Dayana Robledo suing defendant/ex-fiance Angel Sanchez for money she borrowed to pay for his DUI fees and attorney, and for an assault. 

Plaintiff claims she took out a loan for $3,000, and borrowed $1,000 from her sister, put the money in the bank, and withdrew $3,000 to give cash to the defendant for his $3,000 attorney and DUI fees.   

Plaintiff has zero proof, so case was dismissed without prejudice, and sent back to the local court.
