4 p.m. reruns-

First (2013)-

Jealous Rage Vandalism? -Plaintiff Bryon Richardson suing defendant/former girlfriend Narkyssa Haskel   over her breaking his car windshield, and three windshields on his neighbors’ cars also.  Plaintiff had bad credit, and defendant co-signed on the lease to help plaintiff out.  Plaintiff’s witness isn’t the other girlfriend in his house for the fight, but another woman (she’s his cousin).  

Plaintiff says they were dating but not exclusive, and defendant didn’t like that.   When defendant was texted that there was another woman at defendant’s place, she went over there, while drunk, to confront plaintiff.  When defendant arrived, the other woman at plaintiff’s home texted or called plaintiff, and told him to get home.    Defendant smashed plaintiff’s windshield, and then smashed three other neighbors’ car windshields.   Plaintiff paid for the neighbors’ windshield replacement.  Defendant also told the complex security company that she would pay for the windshields, but didn’t. 

Defendant came to plaintiff’s home, and found him with another woman.    Defendant is asked by JJ if she was arrested, and defendant says “No.  I left before the police got there”.     

Windshields added up to $1900, plaintiff gets that.

Pool Table Trouble -Plaintiffs Susan and George Maadanian home sellers suing Emil Babadjov and Katrina Delaney /home buyers and defendants, over return of a pool table, or the value, from home sold by plaintiff to defendants.   However, house was a short sale, and so the real seller was the bank.   Defendant says plaintiffs offered to sell the pool table to defendants.  Defendants didn’t want the pool table, and told plaintiffs to get the pool table out of the house before closing.   Defendants hired a hauling service to get rid of pool table, and other stuff left behind in the house by plaintiffs. 

If pool table was so important, plaintiffs should have moved it out before house closing occurred.   In the defendants’ place, I would have called the hauling company the second closing happened, which is the buyer’s right.    Defendants are counter claiming for cost to change the locks.  

The only communications were between the two realtors, and not with defendants.   The buyer’s realtor supposedly arranged for pool table pickup, but everything was gone.   Plaintiffs moved out a year before, and rented for the first six months to renters.    (This was in Porter Ranch, CA).   Plaintiffs had a year to get the pool table out, but didn’t.    Plaintiff wife also says it would cost $800 to get the pool table moved.   

Plaintiffs have a lot of excuses, but not one reason that they didn’t get the pool table they claim they can’t live without.

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Second (2013)-

Alaskan Husky Custody -Plaintiff Athena Anderson suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Juarez Ordonez  for vet bills, Dog-Daycare costs, and return of the dog.  Litigants were co-owners of the dog.   Judge Judy has dog put in the middle of the room, so he can choose who to go with.    Defendant bought another husky for plaintiff, but always had the other husky.    Litigants argued and defendant took the Husky in question to his home.     Defendant also owes plaintiff $1500, not the $1800 plaintiff claims he owes. 

Plaintiff will settle for much less if defendant will give Jacob the Husky back to plaintiff.   (This is in Hesperia, CA).    Defendant says dog lives part time at his parents’ home, but now at defendant’s apartment.        Defendant paid for the Husky.     Plaintiff filed paperwork for registration of the dog during the two months when the litigants were estranged. 

Dog has been with defendant and family for three months.    Defendant claims plaintiff isn’t allowed by landlord to have animals.   However, plaintiff never actually answers JJ, just says the rental her family is in turned into month-to-month.  

Jacob (the dog) goes over to see plaintiff.    My question is that if plaintiff has another Husky, why does she want the other dog?    Hopefully, not for breeding and selling puppies.  I hope the dog is neutered.

Dog goes to see both litigants, and JJ really doesn’t know anything about Huskies.

JJ sends litigants out to talk about the dog situation, and see if they can come to an agreement. 

The decision is defendant gets the dog.   However, JJ says if he can’t keep the dog, for some reason then he gives dog to plaintiff.   Plaintiff gets her $3500.

Stolen Car and Credit Card? -Plaintiff/car owner Tammy Johanneson suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Frederick Price for car value after stealing plaintiff’s car.   Plaintiff also says defendant stole her credit card, charged a lot on it, but all charges were reversed.   

Defendant claims plaintiff let him use the car all of the time.   Defendant borrowed car in morning, then on the second time that day, he failed to return her car, and never told her car wasn’t coming back.   Defendant claims he got jumped, and car stolen.

 Plaintiff says in her sworn statement that defendant’s sister told her that he sold the car in Milwaukee for crack. 

$1025 to plaintiff for car.

First (2016)-

Same Sex Wedding Woes-Plaintiff Maurice Wright suing videographer/defendant Najayah “Fitchy” Burrus for bad wedding video, and wants fee back, and damages.   Videographer was only paid $250.   

Videographer was there from 2 or 3 p.m. to past 1 a.m., covered by the $250.    The video is shown, and the preliminaries look good, but the ceremony lighting is terrible, and that part of the video looks awful.    I think the groom received $250 worth of video.    My personal guess is a videographer to do what the grooms wanted would cost many times $250

The groom actually hired two videographers, the defendant and an assistant, and the assistant never showed up.    Defendant blames the dark lighting on the wedding venue, and says the dark video  is because the venue had inadequate lighting. 

 Case dismissed.

Hit-and-Run Detective-Plaintiff's Ihab Wazir Ali car was hit while his car was parked.  From evidence he found, he located the owner of the car, the accident happened in a college parking lot.   He’s suing defendant Ken Dukes (by the way his car is a Hyundai Accent, not a Honda Accent) for the reduced price of the car.   Plaintiff found license plates at the scene of the hit-and-run, and traced them back to the defendant.    Plaintiff sold the car at a reduced price. 

Defendant claims the license plates were stolen, and put on the same model and color car.    The security guard who saw the accident, and called the police said it was the defendant's car model, and color, that did the hit-and-run, and the license plates were found on the scene.      I find it amazing that the defendant's license plates were stolen twice, in a short time.    Plaintiff had insurance, but was only liability.   

 $3500 for plaintiff. 

Second (2016)-

Social Insecurity-Plaintiff /former tenant Steven Crnogorac suing former landlord/defendant Carole Dillard for false charges, illegal eviction, and property missing.  Defendant claims man was a drunk and drug abuser, claims he stole her pills.     Plaintiff rented a room from defendant, then she later filed false charges against him for stealing her pills, and property damage.   

Defendant claims she helped move his stuff to a home across the street, and claims she didn't lock plaintiff out.   Plaintiff claims defendant gave him some painkillers, after he broke his rib, and the next morning she called the police and claimed the man stole her pills.     Plaintiff came home one evening, there was a lock on the chain link fence gate, and a note from plaintiff telling him he no longer lived there any longer, and that she had gotten rid of his stuff.      Defendant is counter suing for cleaning fees, and rent.       

Plaintiff found out some of his property was at the house across the street, but had nowhere to store the items.   

 Plaintiff will be paid for the false police report, and the court time, $500.   Defendant's counter claim dismissed.  

 (Sadly, the plaintiff died in March of 2019).

Parked Car Hit and Run-Plaintiff Tya Oden claims her mother's neighbor/defendant Michelle Barren hit her car, and left the scene.   Plaintiff was going to the emergency room, and she heard the defendant hit her car, and saw the defendant speeding away.    The plaintiff made the police report after the ER trip.   

Defendant had no insurance (and needs to get her bangs out of her face, they're covering one eye, and a lot of her face, and it's driving me bonkers).    Charges were filed against defendant for illegal backing, but ticket was dismissed.       As usual, insurance just lapsed, so defendant had two vehicles without insurance, 

Plaintiff receives $1,069.

First (2013)-

Baby Daddy Drama -Plaintiff Renee LeBlanc (SSMOT Sainted Single Mother of Two, mother of child with defendant) suing defendant Andrew Tremblay (father of younger child) for half of a loan to move into a jointly leased apartment. Defendant says he had every intention of paying his half of the loan, but plaintiff moved out of the apartment, and back in with her mother.   There was a one year lease, and plaintiff moved out after two months.    Defendant called the landlord the morning after the litigants argued, verbally.    So, plaintiff called 911, claiming defendant needed to leave.   Apparently, plaintiff has a child with defendant, and another child too. 

Crying in court will not change JJ’s ruling about plaintiff’s case.  

Plaintiff actually called 911, claiming the father was kidnapping his own child.   She actually says defendant was kidnapping ‘her’ child.   There was nothing written about the custody of children. 

The defendant signed another lease with landlord at the first of the next month, with only his name on the lease.   Defendant got behind on child support, because he was paying the full rent alone.    He’s getting the arrearage paid.     Defendant has a no contact order from plaintiff

Plaintiff claims dismissed.  JJ tells her to take the $1200 out of her child support. 

Sisters Fight Over Puppy -Plaintiff/sister Kerri Dial suing defendant / sister Angelia Dial for the price of a puppy, and vet bills.    Defendant got the dog, tiny toy Chocolate Schnauzer, defendant had the puppy for a year.   Then, defendant was going away to college, and couldn’t keep the dog.  Puppy cost defendant $450 from a breeder.    

 Then, defendant wanted sister to buy the dog for more than the dog than when it was a puppy.   Defendant also wants her price for the dog.   However, defendant also wants money back for dog clothes, microchipping, etc.  Plaintiff actually gave puppy back to defendant, so who knows where the dog is now.

Plaintiff gets $450.   Defendant stomps out.  

Second (2013)-

Pit Bull Attacks Child – Plaintiff Jamiene Andreozzi   suing defendant / pit bull owner, Patricia Bautista for defendant’s dog attacking her 8-year-old son.   Son was skateboarding at a playdate with another friend, says the dog stuck its head through the wrought iron gate (vertical rods, rather far apart), and son says dog bit him.  Plaintiff contacted an attorney right after the bite, before plaintiff claims her son had PTSD/nightmares.   Attorney wouldn’t pursue the case. 

Son Elijah Panner testifies to JJ., that he was skating with a friend, went close to the gate, when dog put his head through the fence, and bit him.     

After the bite, Elijah called his mom, she came to friend’s house and picked him up, visited defendant Bautista, then to the hospital.     Defendant claims her fence was brought down the same day as the bite.   Defense witness didn’t see anything (obviously just wanted a trip to court).

Plaintiff submits pictures of fence, there the bottom horizontal rail of fence is broken where the bottom of fence pickets should be secured.  The chicken wire at the bottom of the fence was smashed down, so the Pit’s head can fit through the fence.   JJ points out that the failed chicken wire to keep the Pits (defendant owns more than one) was replaced later.   Defendant had smaller dogs at one time, but only has the bigger Pits now, so why did she need to replace the chicken wire?  Defendant should put smaller gauge animal fencing, the on the entire inside of the fence, not just the bottom, or chicken wire. 

Plaintiff receives $1500 for medical bills. 

Giants vs. Cowboys Letdown -Plaintiff Devendra Ruparelia suing defendant/ticket seller, Jarmar Richardson to get money back plaintiff paid defendant for football game tickets that turned out to be bogus

Later, defendant claims plaintiff bought basketball tickets from defendant, but plaintiff says he didn’t want to go to another game, and doesn’t trust defendant.   Defendant reluctantly tells JJ who he bought the football tickets from.   Defendant says he was a victim too, and he bought the tickets from a man who is now incarcerated.    David who sold the tickets is back in prison.  

Defendant is sweating so badly that Officer Byrd has to take him Kleenex to mop his sweat of shame.  Defendant claims plaintiff later bought NBA basketball tickets from him, in return for the football tickets.

Plaintiff receives $350. 

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Bonfire Blowout-Plaintiff Eugene Newell suing neighbor/defendant Jason Tesmar for a bonfire during a party that burned his fence.  Plaintiff swears bonfire kept getting bigger and bigger, and then the fire suddenly flared up, and claims someone threw gas on the bonfire.   The fence was vinyl, and one panel (probably a 6' x 6') warped very badly.   Defendant claims plaintiff’s wife climbs on a bench on plaintiff’s side of the fence, and yells at defendant’s guests, and rocks the fence (garbage).  

There's also a dust up over using the dock on both properties.    Defendant claims plaintiff's wife leans on, and shakes the fence.   Defendant’s counterclaim is that common access docks are across road, and that there are no designated place for each person's dock, and plaintiff's dock has been in the same spot for 30 years.  Defendant claims the plaintiff moved his dock over, and blocked his dock access.    Counterclaim dismissed.       

I suspect the defendant and his friends did exactly what the plaintiff says.   The smirk on the defendant's face is very irritating, and I think he knows exactly who damaged the fence.     (This happened in Big Lake, MN).

Plaintiff gets $1100 for fence. 

Move-Out Money-Plaintiff/former tenant Johnny Gallegos , was a month-to-month tenant wants moving costs, and renovation costs on a house he was renting, that defendant /landlord Lori Schafer gave him a 30-day notice to quit.   Plaintiff claims his improvements made the property more valuable.   He claims defendant evicted him to make more money, because of the rise in rents in Colorado because of legalized pot.   In 2011, plaintiff took over lease of defendant’s father, and went month-to-month after that. Defendant bought/transferred property from her father, the previous owner.     Defendant is suing for repair costs, to fix the 'improvements' the plaintiff/ former tenant did.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.     Defendant case dismissed.    No proof of anything.

Second (2016)-

Evidence Showdown-Plaintiff Sylvia Wright suing defendant for repossessing a car defendant Sasha Threatts sold for $600.   However, defendant's witness says he paid $400 to defendant, and owes $400 more, and he still has the car.       Defendant's SO, and roommate saw defendant's witness give defendant the money order, and claim none of them know the plaintiff.   

Defendant says she never sold anything to the plaintiff, that she thinks she's the defense witness's ex-girlfriend.      Defendant also had a title loan on the car for $800.  Very confusing case, and I wonder what the truth is?   (Unfortunately, plaintiff hideous blonde wig is from the bizarre wig collection in JJ’s producer’s closet of disguises). 

 $400 to plaintiff.   

Independence Day Attack-Plaintiff Maria Ruiz suing defendants Scott and Michelle DeHerrera for their dogs running wild and attacking her dog on the Fourth of July. Plaintiff wants her dog’s vet bills paid.  Plaintiff's dog is a cute fluffy mutt, maybe 20 pounds maximum, and she was walking two little dogs that day.   (This should be quick, there are only eight minutes left of the episode).  Plaintiff was walking her two leashed dogs, passing the defendant's house on her walk.   

Plaintiff was crossing street, and the defendant's two dogs (American Bulldog/Boxer mix, and an American Bulldog) grabbed the plaintiff’s dog, one dog was pulled off of her dog, but came back again.    Defendant and wife weren't even at the dog attack site, but keep whining about what they claim happened.    The defendant's adult son saw the attack, but isn't here in court.  

In the Hall-terview defendant says it's negligent to walk your dog on the fourth of July, because of the fireworks!   In the words of JJ, Outrageous!

$2452 to plaintiff.

Just re-watched the one where the plaintiff was suing because of a motorcycle rally fundraiser didn’t meet her expectations. I don’t remember the verdict but it turned out that the plaintiff’s associates had set up several gofundme accounts and that was one of the issues the defendant had with her. All I really remember was giggling every time the plaintiff talked about how upset she was that she had been turned into a “me-me.” How the audience members kept their faces composed after several repetitions of “me-me” I will never know.

First (2013)-

Storage Wars –Plaintiff/ex Elijah Alexander suing defendant/ex girlfriend Jessica Sundeen for return of his furniture, and TV.   Defendant says she’ll return the furniture when plaintiff pays back the loan she made him ($1500) with the furniture as collateral.   Plaintiff denies defendant ever gave him $1500, or any other financial help.

Plaintiff says when they split up, everything was put in a storage unit under defendant’s name, and a huge TV that’s in defendant’s house.     Plaintiff wants the furniture and items in the storage unit, and the TV back.

Defendant then chimes in saying plaintiff is a felon.    Defendant claims that she made the loan after they split up, and after furniture was already in the storage unit.  Defendant claim was from an envelope of cash she keeps from her disability settlement ($30,000).     There is no bank information showing any withdrawal from defendant’s account around that time period.

Plaintiff has five days to pick up his furniture and other items, and the TV with a marshal’s help, or by sending a moving company with a marshal supervising.   Defendant claim dismissed. 

Dog Struck by Car -Plaintiff/motorist Anthony Mesker suing defendant/dog owners Tonya and Wade Watson for car damages after their unleashed dog was hit by the driver.   Defendants are counter suing for vet bills.     

Sorry, if dog is off your property, and out of your control, whatever happens to the dog, the vehicle owner is due the car repairs.  Motorist owes nothing.    Plaintiff says he’s seen their dog on at least three occasions, one time off their property, one time on their property, but not confined.  

Defendant wife says her dog has a collar, I’m guessing invisible fence.    Invisible fence doesn’t stop a determined animal from running through the alarm, and shock, but it does mean once out, the animal isn’t running back to the yard.    Also, batteries run out, and fencing systems can malfunction.  

When plaintiff was driving down the road, the dog ran out in front of him, and after it was struck, plaintiff called his insurance company, and went back to find out about the dog.    Only defendant’s children were home that day, 16, 11, and 8.    

Defendants claims plaintiff must have come off the road (their house is on a corner), crossed their property and hit the dog in their yard.   Defendants didn’t bring the 16-year-old daughter who is the oldest person home that day.  

$1088 to plaintiff for car damages.   Defendant case dismissed. 

Second (2013)-

Don’t Spank My Daughter! -Plaintiff/mother Suzanne Longo-Clark suing defendant/father of child, and ex-husband Douglas Clark, for $5,000 for him filing charges against her for spanking their 9-year-old daughter. 

Plaintiff is court-ordered not to touch the child, but she ignored that, so father contacted CPS.  Father has full primary physical custody.   Plaintiff keeps whining about CPS being involved, claims CPS and custody hearings were rigged.    Mother had visitation with the child, supervised only.     During a supervised court visitation (supervisor is plaintiff’s witness), plaintiff spanked her child at least twice.

There are scheduled phone calls between mother and daughter, and mother says daughter was disrespectful ten calls in a row, and daughter would hang up.    Visitation was once a week, and phone calls were weekly too.    Mother keeps claiming ex-boyfriend or husband is mean to her. 

When daughter came for visitation, mother hit her on the butt twice, in front of the supervisor.   In my view plaintiff witness/visitation supervisor should be taken off the list for supervising visits.   I question the supervisor’s impartiality.     When daughter returned home, father filed a sheriff’s report about the court order visitation violation.   Defendant has a protective order against the plaintiff, and daughter is a protected person on that order.  

Plaintiff witness/paid visitation supervisor Doug McIntire apparently sees nothing wrong with plaintiff violating the order which states that she can’t strike, slap, or otherwise use corporal punishment on the daughter.  Plaintiff keeps sneaking in that defendant supposedly threatened to kill her, and beat her.    Plaintiff still keeps interrupting to slander the defendant.

As JJ says, this wasn’t a false allegation by the father.    

I disagree with JJ, the plaintiff planned exactly what she was going to do to the little girl, and the visitation supervisor did nothing to help.

Plaintiff says visitation supervisor intervened that day, and she still denies the swatting was to the point of abuse.   The day in question, at the neutral meeting site, under supervision, she immediately hit the child, and cursed at her.     She is currently under treatment for mental health issues, and seems to be unable to control her anger at the child.     

Plaintiff refuses to admit that she broke the court order not to strike her child.    Court visitation supervisor Doug McIntire says he is still going to work with plaintiff and supervise visitation, which I object to.   He’s not impartial, and testifies he sees nothing wrong with what plaintiff did.

(Since this case was 2013, and child was 9 when this happened, then child should be old enough not to have to deal with plaintiff any longer).

In hall-terview, plaintiff goes off on her witness, and former visitation supervisor.  She claims he lied about her too.   Why do I bet he was next on her list to sue?   She's a frequent flier in court.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Broken Door = Broken Friendship -Plaintiff Elizabeth O’Harra suing defendant/former friend Lauren Olsen for defendant breaking two door handles on plaintiff’s car.   This was winter, and plaintiff claims she broke two door handles off, an inside handle and an outside handle.   $576 is what plaintiff wants.

Plaintiff receives $0.

First (2016)-

Bike Buyer's Remorse-Plaintiffs Ashley Masters  and her stepfather Mark Sepulveda suing defendant/motorcycle shop owner and mechanic Christopher Grabau over  repairs on an old bike.   Plaintiffs want all of their payments back, even though defendant claims he fixed the bike as requested.     Defendant gave plaintiff Mark Sepulveda an estimate of $2,000 to fix the bike, but only a verbal estimate.    Defendant says bike was in horrible shape, and it was hard to have a specific estimate.  Plaintiff supplied parts, and estimate was for labor only.   Plaintiff step father paid $2000+, picked up bike, and it’s at another shop now.   Plaintiff picked up bike once, returned to shop and then brought it back for a dead battery issue.   

Then, motorcycle was at plaintiff’s home for months, then taken by plaintiffs to another shop. 

Nothing for the litigants, and they deserve nothing.

Cash Cow House?   -Plaintiff/ landlord James Bruno suing defendant /former tenant Carla Brewer over a house that was rented by defendant, husband, and three kids.   Plaintiff alleges damages, but the place was owned by someone else for many years, a student rental for a year, and property was never improved except for an outside paint job.   

This case illustrates why you take pictures before move in, and on move out for a rental property.   Before pictures from craigslist look good, but former renter denies the house looked that good when she moved in.  Why did landlords come on this show?  I find it ridiculous that JJ says she often sides with landlords, because she doesn’t.    

Landlord does keep the security deposit.   He should have been awarded three new doors for the storage room, and the two bedrooms, they obviously had a fist smashed through them.

Plaintiff gets nothing. 

Second (2016)-

Rescue Chihuahua Chase-Plaintiff/dog owner Janet Lauritsen suing defendants/neighbor and tenant Leonard Edwards  , and landlord, Susan Hounsom, for fence to keep defendant’s tenant’s  dog out of her yard, and away from her dog.    After a neighbor's dog attacks her Chihuahua, a plaintiff demands compensation for the new fence she put up.    Plaintiff didn’t have a fence, but tenant/landlord did, tenant’s dog dug under the fence and attacked the Chihuahua owned by plaintiff.    Plaintiff already had her yard securely fenced.    The part of fence along tenant/landlord’s yard belonged to defendant, and plaintiff didn’t put up fence.    So, plaintiff wants to be paid for fencing her own property.  

Plaintiff claims doctor bills, but has no human doctor bills to show.  Plaintiff took the dog to the vet, but she didn't go to the doctor, even though she didn't know about the rabies vaccine status of the defendant's dog.   Defendant landlord paid the $81 vet bill.   

Plaintiff also threatened to report defendant to licensing board for realtors.   Plaintiff wanted $1300 for fence, and threatened to file a CPS report against the tenant (he has two family foster kids, so they already have CPS oversight).    There is nothing in the vet report about a dog bite.   

Plaintiff works at the customer service at Home Depot, and sent 15 threatening emails in one week to defendant landlord saying slanderous allegations against defendant.   

Plaintiff fence and harassment case dismissed.       JJ also reassures the defendant/landlord/realtor/broker that the small town they live in will all watch the case, and know who the nut case is. 

Roommate Misfits-Plaintiff Amanda Stoewer suing former roommate/defendant Kellie Green for unpaid rent, utility bills,  and property damages. A former roommate is accused of skipping out on eight months of rent, utility bills, and property damage.  Plaintiff never tried to get a replacement roommate after defendant left.   They were roommates for the first year of the lease, and after the renewal is when things went bad.

 Defendant is saying all kinds of nasty things about plaintiff, and plaintiff returns the favor.   There was a $75 cost to break the lease for defendant.       

Case dismissed.

Clean and Sober Suit -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend James Goad suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Jennifer Powell for eviction, and stolen belongings.  Defendant is suing for the same things, eviction, and stolen belongings.  Litigants have a child, and defendant has two more children.  SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Three) says they were both druggies, and her other two children are with her father in Texas

Plaintiff has a full-time job, but defendant hasn’t worked full time since 2001.   Defendant says they were both living on the streets, using drugs.    Defendant claims she’s been clean and sober since 2009.

Litigants are currently fighting over custody of the baby.  Parents are no longer a couple.   Defendant can’t control herself, and keeps trying to interrupt JJ.  

Plaintiff claims where they used to live, defendant changed the locks, and illegally kept his property. Defendant claims all property is the daughter’s, not plaintiff.   Property is mostly stuffed animals, a VCR, TV, child’s books and toys.  

JJ says defendant had no right to evict plaintiff.   (This case happened in 2013, I wonder how the baby is now?).     I really dislike defendant and her smirks about getting off the hook for returning anything, and I doubt her statements of being sober for five years.

When plaintiff says he’s never tested dirty on his drug tests, and defendant says he’s lying.    Defendant says he tested positive for marijuana, but a false positive, and defendant says plaintiff tested positive for coke. 

JJ tells litigants that they’re not good for each other, and should stay apart.

Plaintiff doesn’t have receipts for anything.  JJ dismisses plaintiff and defendant case for lack of merit, except JJ returns VCR to plaintiff. 

Criminal or Justified -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Ashley Whittaker suing defendant/ex-boyfriend William Yager for a repayment of a loan ($2500) so defendant could get divorced, and for damages to plaintiff’s car.  Defendant paid $1,000 back to plaintiff, and still owes $1500.    JJ dismisses the car damages, because the litigants used each other’s car constantly, and while they were living together.

Defendant says he paid for plaintiff’s iPhone 4, instead of paying the rest of his loan back to plaintiff.   Defendant says he’s paying for the iPhone that plaintiff has, and an additional line for her phone.

$1500 to plaintiff for the loan.

Second (2013)-

Brick Toss? -Plaintiff /ex-boyfriend Joseph David suing ex-girlfriend/defendant Tiffany Ernest, for return of his TV.     Defendant says ex moved in with her right after his latest prison stay.   After a fight, defendant took plaintiff’s TV, and rolled a perfume bottle in his car.  

Plaintiff lived with defendant for two years, between prison stays.     Plaintiff bought the TV with his inheritance from his late father.    Plaintiff has the furniture from their former apartment. 

Defendant claims plaintiff threw a brick at her car.  However, a month after the alleged brick toss, and defendant throwing the perfume bottle into his car, they moved into the apartment together.   

 Plaintiff gets his TV back, within 5 days with marshal’s help.    Defendant case dismissed.

Plastic Surgery Feud -Plaintiff Marife Jarillo (nee Marife McQuillan) suing defendant/former co-worker Zena O’Brien for non-payment of a loan plaintiff took out for defendant to get breast augmentation, $2881 left to pay.    Defendant claims plaintiff to take the loan out, and defendant would make the payments.    Defendant claims plaintiff got arrested for shoplifting, and if defendant didn’t press charges against plaintiff for emptying defendant’s bank account.

Defendant says bank records show that  Marife McQuillan (previous name of plaintiff) had made a phone order to the bank to pay the loan for the boobies to the finance company. 

Plaintiff is asked by JJ if she authorized the bank to pay the loan to the doctor’s office.   Plaintiff says defendant only paid a little over $400.     There is still $3,045 left on the loan.

Plaintiff receives $3045.  (In the hall-terview, plaintiff outs the defendant.  Not nice).

First (2016)-

Doggie Daycare Disaster-Plaintiff / former landlord Adam Anderson suing defendant/former tenant Elizabeth Dupnik who claimed she was starting a dog walking business, and is suing for damages from pet boarding business.    Plaintiff claims defendant was actually advertising dog boarding services on Facebook.    Defendant moved into the rental house with her 7- month-old child, and her father was a co-signer.    Plaintiff did research after tenant moved out, and he saw the damages, and discovered the dog boarding business.   Plaintiff kept the unrefundable pet deposit, and the security deposit, just under $1895.

Defendant admits to having foster dogs, and I suggest she was doing Doggie Daycare, and boarding, which is not dog walking.    Lease limits defendant to one dog, and with a substantial fee for any additional dogs.   

Plaintiff has a FB ad for dog boarding, and with pictures of several dogs in the back yard of the home.   Broken cabinets, trash left behind, nasty carpets.    Defendant claims she paid someone to deep clean the rugs, but they look nasty. 

 It took a month to clean, paint, and re-carpet the home.   And defendant left property behind into the next month, so she owes for the month's rent.    Photos show the home was in pristine condition, and newly painted before defendant moved in.   Defendant's witness is a realtor who has known the defendant forever, and is totally lying.   Additional plaintiff fees are for lost garage door opener, smoking in the house, and other damages. 

$1313 to plaintiff for damages. 

Mouth of Pain-Plaintiff/sister Lorraina Olarte suing defendant/brother Larry Westerfield II for a loan for massive amount of dental work (last time it was speculated that the X rays should be used for ads for "this is your mouth on meth" commercials.   However, the teeth look like massive decay issues).   Dentist advised the healthiest option was pull the remaining top teeth, and do dentures.    Plaintiff wants her Care Credit bill paid, and defendant claims it was a gift.    The dentist was smart, because the first people the consumers refuse to pay are dentists, doctors, veterinarians, and other providers.     

Larry II is 43, and an electrician, who lives with mommy.    Defendant claims his mother told the sister about his teeth, and then sister took defendant to the dentist, where the dentist said it was the worst mouth he'd ever seen.    The dentist office is smart not to take payments, and sister was a fool to get the Care Credit account.   

Defendant went back to work two months later, and claims he gave the sister cash.    A licensed electrician doesn't make $10 an hour, and man still owes about $10,000 child support.    Balance is $3386 left, because sister has been making payments.   It’s so sad to need full dentures at 43. 

$3547 to plaintiff.    (If they're so estranged, then why the big hug, and "I Still Love You Too" in the hall-terview?) 

(A personal rant.   When I was a kid, and dinosaurs roamed the earth, many parents believed that baby teeth didn't need dental visits, or any type of care.   I knew other kids that had visibly decayed teeth.  Some of those kids never learned proper dental care.    I've known adults who never saw a dentist until something painful happened.  So, depending on the minerals in the drinking water, and hygiene, the man's teeth might have been vulnerable to rot, and without practicing correct, regular dental hygiene, they were in horrible shape.)

Second (2016)-

Daters or Debtors? -Plaintiff David Leeson suing defendant Amanda Ferguson   for repayment of loans.      The couple met in the drive-thru of a fast-food restaurant, Jack in the Box, in San Antonio.  The talked at the restaurant, then came to talk at his house, and then she needed money.  

Sadly, plaintiff kept making loans for moving fees, a class, bail, etc. and defendant never paid him back a penny.  No expectation of repayment.  My guess JJ will say this wasn’t a loan, after the first loan.

Plaintiff gets $600, the original loan, the rest are dismissed, because he had no expectation of repayment.   

Slashed Tires and Jealousy?! -Plaintiff Adrien Atkins suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Janita Hunter   for slashing his tires.    The two had been living together, and had one child together.   (This happened in Los Angeles). 

After the break-up, plaintiff claims defendant slashed his four tires, and requests $1200 for replacement tires. 

Kevin Hunter, plaintiff’s cousin and witness saw defendant pull up to plaintiff’s house in her silver Jaguar, witness heard a hissing sound, and claims defendant slashed plaintiff’s tires.  

Plaintiff receives $1200.

Explicit Photos Disputed -Plaintiff/photographer Tora White suing defendant/ex-girlfriend  LaToya Rutledge  for using photos he took of her on her website.  He wants $2,000 for copyright infringement.      Defendant says he took clothed and unclothed/explicit pics of her.   Then they broke up, and were only casual friends.   She wanted him to take her little sister’s prom picture, and then took the pictures of her.   He never took the prom pictures, and he denies she asked him to do this.

JJ points out that if defendant didn’t want nasty pictures circulated of her, then she shouldn’t have taken them.       There is a text from defendant asking plaintiff to take her pictures for $150.  

Defendant says plaintiff took pictures of her several times. 

Plaintiff receives $150.   Defendant counter suit dismissed.

Hell Date -Plaintiff Donald Causey suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Amanda Jeanblanc for stealing his car, and wrecking it.     Plaintiff says he lost his job after she wrecked his car.   He had to have transportation for his job.      Plaintiff was on a break with the girlfriend, when he posted on Facebook “I’m single, and I’m ready to mingle”.

Police report says defendant was drunk, and totally responsible for the accident.   Defendant claims a truck crossed the line, and trying to avoid the truck, she wrecked the car.   Defendant wants her clothes back, and will get that.   Defendant has to return plaintiff’s house, and mailbox keys to get her clothes back. 

Plaintiff receives $1,875.   

Second (2013)-

Housesitting Hijacker?  -Plaintiff /home owner Steve Crestol suing defendant/house sitter Kristen Curtis for trashing the house, stealing property, and money, and neglecting his dog.   Plaintiff was traveling, and claims he was too tired to take pictures with his cell phone.  However, plaintiff did use his phone to text the defendant.   

Plaintiff and his other part time housemate are in the motion picture business, and travel a lot.     Plaintiff did not do a full background check on defendant.   There were two forged checks the bank notified plaintiff about.   Then two more bad checks coming through.  So, defendant asked his L.A.P.D. neighbor to remove jewelry and other valuables from the house and secure them.    When neighbor went to find the jewelry, it was there.  However, checkbook was useless to thief after account was closed by plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims $2,000 in cash was claimed stolen from his desk by thieving defendant.   

Plaintiff’s co-worker and occasional housemate is current incarcerated.   

Plaintiff claims the $2,000 was stolen, his laptop, tools, and other items.   Plaintiff submits texts from defendant.   Also, LAPD neighbor can’t appear in court or on TV.  So, witness can’t testify about the criminal acts perpetrated by the defendant.    This happened in Canyon Country, CA.   

Plaintiff didn’t take photos of house damage.   Plaintiff has no proof of defendant stealing and trashing of house.  JJ doesn’t believe the $2,000 cash.   Defendant’s text implies she stole from plaintiff, and blames another friend for stealing things.  (I believe the plaintiff’s story, and think defendant did exactly what plaintiff says she did).

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Drunk, Disorderly and Half Naked -Plaintiff Kristin Ewart suing defendant/neighbor Alfredo “Fred” Robles (21 years-old) for breaking her TV, and a Wii, and a speaker during a party at plaintiff’s house.   Defendant blames the TV, speaker, and Wii damages on plaintiff feeding him alcohol, and says it’s a “Party Foul”.   Officer Byrd doesn’t know what that means.  

Plaintiff said defendant’s pants were down below his knees, and he was standing next to the fallen TV, trying to pick the TV up, and there is a huge dent in the wall next to the TV, probably from defendant’s head.

Defendant doesn’t remember anything about the end of the party.    And denies he did anything while drunk.    At his age, if you are drinking so much you don’t remember anything the next day, you’re in serious trouble.  In the hall-terview plaintiff claims defendant was playing beer pong, followed by vodka shots.  Defendant says he’s trying to get his tolerance up.

Plaintiff receives $1500.

Judge Judy Calls a Bluff-Plaintiff Chris Pasquarella suing defendant/future brother-in-law Daniel Martinez for stealing his rental car.  Plaintiff rented car, (defendant claims the plaintiff's rental was through a friend at the dealership).   Defendant says plaintiff and fiance were going to LA to take stuff up there too, and fiance was going to use the rental for her, and the kids, and defendant was going to drive the rental car.   When they were in L.A., the rental car got impounded by police after defendant was stopped for a traffic issue, and it was discovered that defendant had a suspended license.     

As usual, defendant has no license, and got off road at checkpoint, and got arrested, for unpaid ticket failure to appear for driving without a license.  Car was impounded.   Plaintiff claims he drove rental to LA, and fiance's father drove them home, and when JJ gets the father's phone number, plaintiff admits the story he told was a lie.    Plaintiff claims he drove the rental to L.A., but I thought defendant was driving the rental?   Fiance/wife supposedly drove the family car to L.A.   

So, if they had two cars in LA, and one car disappeared, then why did the father have to drive them back to San Diego?    Half of impound charges for each side, because plaintiff knew defendant had no license. 

$981 to plaintiff. 

Mercedes in the Middle  -Plaintiff Heather Bauer suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Carlos Rodriguez for harassment, and title to a Mercedes.   Plaintiff wanted Mercedes, and boyfriend co-signed for the loan.  Then they broke up, plaintiff took the car, and defendant started getting late payment notices, affecting his credit.   Money is still owed on vehicle, and plaintiff wants car title signed over to her (not happening). Defendant wants car refinanced in plaintiff's name taking him off the loan.  The funny thing is the plaintiff's job title is "financial consultant".   Plaintiff’s mother is her ‘witness’, who won’t shut up.  

JJ gives plaintiff 30 days to refinance the car in her name, then defendant will sign the title over. Defendant agrees to sign anything needed to get the refinance.      However, defendant asks a good question "What if she can't get it refinanced in her name?"    I would be that the refinance never happened, and I bet defendant had to keep paying to preserve his credit.     If car isn’t refinanced, defendant can repo the car. 

 Nothing for anyone.

Trucking Company Chaos!    -Trucking company owner/plaintiff Brent Minnick sues defendant/truck driver Clark Mallard for truck breaking down (a 1994 truck), and having to recover the truck, plus stolen property.   To quote JJ: "Ridiculous".   

The truck trailer was a two-level car hauler, and the support posts for the top level were bad, but truck owner wanted him to load vehicles on the top level anyway, after temporary repairs.   Truck driver quit after company owner wouldn't pay him.    Driver wants to be paid for the three days.   

Case dismissed for plaintiff, and defendant gets $200.  

Stolen Boat Rip-Off  -Plaintiff Aimee Ramos buys boat from defendant George Eberhardt, and she  says police (Fish & Game actually) confiscated boat, because it was stolen, and she wants $2000 for purchase price, and registration fees.   

Defendant boat seller says Fish & Game never told him the boat was stolen, or contacted him about selling stolen property.  Defendant says he's not sure plaintiff's boat that was confiscated is the same one he sold her.  I believe defendant was right, I bet plaintiff sold the original boat for a better deal.    I think defendant should have been able to see the registration number for the boat, and confirm it was ever his property.      Police returned trailer to plaintiff, but not boat. 

$1586 to plaintiff.

Cat Fight and Crash! -Plaintiff /security guard John Couch suing defendant Devesha Thomas (car driver), and her brother Terrance Cowan (car owner).     Altercation in a nightclub parking lot results in a three-vehicle collision and a security guard’s suit for damages to his car.    Defendant woman paid for the car, but it was in her brother’s name.   Insurance lapsed over a month before the accident.

Plaintiff’s witness, Cory Pewitt, is another security guard at the nightclub, and witness was a passenger in his car.      Plaintiff and witness were in plaintiff’s car, at the nightclub where they worked, when defendant Devesha Thomas driving her brother’s car (he’s Terrance Cowan), without insurance, hit the plaintiff’s car, and another security guard’s car.  

Ms. Thomas had insurance, but forgot to pay the bill.    Defendant, and her girlfriend were leaving the club at 2:30 a.m., having a fist fight in the car, when the defendant hit the car owned by plaintiff.      Head of security took defendant’s phony insurance information, and didn’t do a report on the wreck.

Defendant woman wants $5,000 for a car her brother bought in 2010 for $900.

Plaintiff submits the information from defendant’s insurance card the night of the accident.  Card said that insurance lapsed a month before the incident.

Defendant case dismissed.  Defendant still says the accident wasn’t her fault.    JJ and everyone who ever saw this case disagree with that.    Police didn’t do a report, because the parking lot is private property (Yes, that’s how it works in some states).

Plaintiff witness says both women in defendant’s car were still fighting, when they were dragged out of the car.   Defendant keeps saying the accident was plaintiff’s fault.    Defendant is delusional.

Plaintiff gets $3000 for his car damages.

Money Stolen from a Thief? -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Randall Thom suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Linda Davis for using his debit card for unauthorized charges while he was incarcerated.   Defendant is counter suing for dog and housesitting fees.   Card had $2300 on the pre-paid card when he went to jail, and card was supposed to be used to pay rent, utilities, etc.  

Defendant went way over the amount she was supposed to use.

Guilty of Domestic Violence   -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Anyssa Ancona, and has a child with defendant/ex-boyfriend Joseph Grimm, for the fees for breaking their apartment lease $2,000.  The litigants have one child together.  Defendant admits to assaulting his child’s mother.  Plaintiff’s aunt was paying her part of the monthly rent.  

After plaintiff beat defendant up, she moved away to live with relatives, and obtained a 1-year restraining order, after plaintiff pled Nolo Contendre to assault, and received probation.

Defendant settled with collection agency for her half of the lease breaking fee, $3300, reduced from $5,000.   Defendant paid $2600, so plaintiff owes $700 more.   Defendant also filed for a restraining order for stupid reasons.

Plaintiff receives $2,000 for lease breaking fees, and the false restraining order defendant tried to get.

Antique Car Destroyed?! -Plaintiff/car owner  Tyron Harris suing defendant /body shop owner Antonio Mattox for damages to his rusty, old car, a ’69 Buick LeSaber.    Car was very rusty, and needed body work, and then paint.   Unfortunately, a tree fell on the car while parked at the body shop, and wants $4400.   Defendant wants $1500.   Plaintiff bought it for $2700 in 1992.   

Defendant says he wasn’t hired to fix the rust damages.  However, it was defendant’s tree that clipped the plaintiff’s car, but he used Bondo, and paint to fix the damages from the tree.  

Plaintiff finally got his car back, after county closed down defendant’s illegal body shop.  Defendant has to remove 33 cars after the county shut his shop down.  The after picture of the car is horrible.   

Defendant claims he had to tow car to his illegal shop.   Plaintiff claims he drove the car to defendant’s place.  

$1500 to plaintiff, nothing to defendant.

Roommate or Thief?! -Plaintiff/former tenant Cheryl Love suing defendant /former landlord Cindy Chambers for return of property, including leather coats, purses, shoes, and other items.   Defendant says plaintiff stole money from her purse, and wants unpaid rent.    Both litigants were patients at a mental health facility when they met.   

Defendant let plaintiff move into her spare room after plaintiff was evicted.   Plaintiff claims she had an unlawful detainer by previous landlord, and that’s still in the hands of her attorney.   

Officer Byrd certainly isn’t working on the crossword puzzle today, and I bet the court security officers are on high alert.  

 Plaintiff claims she gave defendant $300 a month cash, and took photos of each payment.     Defendant says plaintiff didn’t pay her anything. 

Plaintiff claims defendant had a baby by the homeless man who climbs in her window at night, and claims defendant sells drugs.   Plaintiff claims defendant lost custody of her children (children are with her brother).  

 Officer Byrd reminds JJ where the two litigants met. 

Defendant denies having anything belonging to plaintiff, and police put plaintiff out of the house.  

 Plaintiff case dismissed.

In the hall-terview plaintiff is still ranting.   Defendant still says plaintiff stole her money.

The Pregnant Chihuahua Did it-Plaintiff / former landlord and ex-girlfriend Tiara Spencer,  is suing defendant / former tenant Angel Carrillo for apartment damages, which are blamed on his pregnant Chihuahua, and unpaid rent.   

When defendant left apartment, his Chihuahua and her puppies were locked in his room, and he just left them.    Defendant is a perennial victim, who had leached off of friends and relatives for over 10 years.      Defendant was employed when the litigants moved into the apartment, it was a three bedroom, one was for defendant's seven-year-old daughter.   Defendant lost his job, they fought, and he left without contact, before the first month was over.   

Plaintiff doesn't look too good either, because she left the dog locked in the room, and only broke in when the dog started barking, and clawing at the door for over two weeks, after complaints from the management company.     She fed the dog under the door.   She then took the dog, and puppies to the pound.   

I loathe both litigants for their cruelty to a tiny little dog, and her puppies.

$4800 to plaintiff.  

Deceased Parents, Feuding Children   -Plaintiff sisters Diane Buhite, Carolyn “Kitty” Evenson, and  Judy Paukovich are suing defendant brother Harvey “Dick” Rusko , and wife Julie Rusko for return of deceased parents’ property, and claim undue influence on the parents.   There were nine siblings, one deceased, and only three sisters are suing.   The three sisters rarely saw the parents.    The coven of sisters hired an attorney, the court appointed a guardian, but they're still whining about the parents, and both parents died in 2012.   

Property they're suing about was sold by father before he died, and they're still blaming the brother.     

Parents filed an application for a restraining order against daughters.   All court cases were dismissed, and appeal by sisters was denied.   

Sisters are still upset that defendant 'banned' them from the funeral.     

Case dismissed, and will never be over.  The transfers and deaths were 2012 and before, so nothing will ever happen legally.

Head-Butted! -Plaintiff David Bordeau suing defendant Brian Munch for assaulting him at a bar fight.      Plaintiff says defendant was with plaintiff’s estranged brother, a fight broke out, and plaintiff was head-butted and his nose was damaged, but not broken.     Defendant says he was in the bar, but didn’t assault plaintiff.  This happened in the Wisconsin Dells.  

Plaintiff says defendant and the brother were talking, then brother wanted to fight plaintiff, and plaintiff refused to fight.    Then, when plaintiff was going into the bar, brother was talking to defendant who had a Mohawk at the time, when plaintiff was assaulted by defendant.  Plaintiff was head butted in the face, and pushed down the stairs.   And plaintiff could hear his brother laughing about the assault. 

Police report is submitted.    Defendant has a police record, and they have a photo of him.       Witnesses identified the defendant, and police knew who he was.    Shortly after this, plaintiff identified the defendant from the photo lineup.   Defendant dramatically changed his appearance after the assault, changing his hair and beard, so plaintiff no longer recognized the defendant.    Defendant changed his beard, and grew his hair out, between the September assault, and the following June.

$5,000 to plaintiff.   Nothing for defendant.

Coin Collection Thief  -Plaintiff Amateo Seno suing defendant/ ex-girlfriend Lisa Radamaker over the theft of a coin collection plaintiff owned.   They lived together, had an argument, and plaintiff tossed a bottle, and it shattered, and a piece of glass hit defendant, and he left to cool off.    When he came back to the home his coin collection was gone, and defendant admits she took it. 

Defendant claims she'll need plastic surgery for the cut, and sold the coin collection to pay the rent, after the assault.   Defendant shows the cut, but I can't see much in real court with a very close shot, and this is high definition that shows everything.  I see nothing on her cheek that she claims was slashed open, and she never saw a doctor.      JJ asks if defendant is on any medications, and she says no.   

 Defendant has no medical bills, or medical report to submit, and never went to the doctor.  Defendant has a police report, but didn't bring it to court.    JJ asks where the coins are, and defendant says she sold them, and spent the money. 

Defendant case gets $5,000.      Plaintiff gets $5,000, so they cancel each other out, and get nothing.   JJ doesn't believe anyone, and I agree with her. 

Second (2013)-

Pellet Gun Shoot Out -Plaintiff/car owner Audrey Neal suing defendant parent Daniel Hall, and son Kevin Hall, for the 14-year-old shooting out her windshield.  Ms. Neal was driving her car home, something shattered her windshield, and she had an eye injury.   Unfortunately, the pellet gun incident was after plaintiff had cataract surgery, and it injured her eye again.   

 Son Kevin Hall had four detentions in school, (that the parent knows about), and was then suspended from school, and has not done well in his classes.   Defendant father and mother bought the pellet gun for delinquent Kevin Hall.  

Kevin Hall admits to more than the four detentions his father talked about in court.    He also can’t remember why he got detention, admits he didn’t pass most of his classes in the previous year, and the year of this incident.   Kevin was suspended for hitting a girl with a pencil (that’s assault, but was listed as harassment).    

When Kevin was suspended his parents sent him to his grandfather’s house.  This was so grandparents could supervise the little criminal.    The pellet gun was at the grandfather’s house.     Kevin claims the pellet gun is only used with his grandfather present.  

Kevin the delinquent also claims the pellet gun found by police in the bushes wasn’t his, and he doesn’t know who shot Ms. Neal’s window.     Ms. Neal’s police statement identifies Kevin Hall as the attacker, and knows the other two boys, a neighbor’s son, and the other kid was unknown to plaintiff.

JJ calls Kevin the delinquent to the witness chair to tell her his lies.     Former friend of Kevin the delinquent, Lewis, wrote a note saying Kevin shot the windshield, and says Kevin has broken numerous windows.   Father believes Kevin’s lies that he was in the grandfather’s house watching TV, and not out shooting the BB gun.     

Kevin’s father keeps saying Kevin isn’t a bad kid, or a bad student, both statements are total ca-ca.    Daniel Hall blames the suspension on the girl that was assaulted, and the school aide, and claims the other kids are lying about Kevin Hall being the shooter.   Now father is blaming everything on the neighborhood, not his kid.  Father also says his son is being bullied.

Plaintiff receives $1325 (JJ would have given her more).  I think JJ should have given plaintiff $5,000, so lying Kevin, and his father wouldn’t get a penny (if the rumor that money left over from the awards is split between plaintiff and defendant, but I hope it isn’t true).

Car Security – Plaintiffs Tyson Smith and Kimberly Bara are suing defendant Matthew Arnold for a car and engine purchased for $1600.    The car was a non-running vehicle, and engine was for the car, to get it running again.      Plaintiffs didn’t get the title for the car, and now that the car is running, plaintiff can’t register the car (this is in California).    JJ will send litigants to the DMV right across from the court room, and register the car now. 

Plaintiffs will register the car now at DMV.

Divorced and Angry-Plaintiff Laurie Cole suing estranged Mother-in-Law/defendant Judith Cole for a false restraining order, and attorney's fees.    Plaintiff need child support (three children with Kenny Cole), and MIL paid for one month for her deadbeat son.  Then, defendant ex-husband Kenny Cole raided the marital joint account, and took off for Florida fun with his side piece.   

So, plaintiff called MIL for money, and then MIL called the son by the pool in Florida.   Defendant son called police, and police told MIL to get a restraining order against plaintiff.    Ex-husband did leave his mother a check for $1400, but dated 31 September (not a typo, so it was a bad check), for the child support.  

MIL filed for a protective order, and plaintiff had to get an attorney to fight the order.   

Protective order was denied, and plaintiff gets $1,783 for the attorney fees, everything else dismissed. 

Second (2016)-

You're Not the Victim Here-Plaintiff Thomas Soliz suing defendant/neighbor Irene Fleischman for defendant’s 13-year-old daughter crashing her car into plaintiff's parked car.   Defendant claims plaintiff harassed her, daughter wasn't driving, and says no one saw the daughter crash the car, and it was an old car anyway.   Defendant says car was running in driveway, daughter was in passenger seat, and daughter put it in gear, and the crash happened.    There was no insurance on the car, as usual.   

Daughter says sitting in the passenger seat, put the car in reverse to get it ready for the mother to drive, and the car moved.   Daughter says she didn't realize the car would move when she put it in reverse.     The plaintiff's car damage is bad, and his insurance went up because of the car accident.  $500 deductible, and rental car, equals $.     Defendant claims plaintiff harassed her, and a family member assaulted the daughter.    Defendant claims daughter said plaintiff did trunk damage with a crow bar.

Defendant wants $5000 for harassment, and the attack on her daughter.    She claims the plaintiff is in a gang, and has gang members threaten her, and beat up her daughter.    (Sorry, I lived where there are gangs, they don't wear ties, dress shirts, and look like they're going to work.)      

The police report shows the defendant claimed to have insurance, but she had no insurance.      The 'assault' is claimed to be either the by the wife or the sister of the plaintiff, and both daughters claim to be assaulted on the same time.   Plaintiff says the people that were fighting came out of the defendant's house.  

$693 to plaintiff for deductible, and rental car.

Random Drug Test Crash-18-year-old plaintiff Kyle Currington  claims 18-year-old Abigail Reece defendant damaged his car, when she took his car to a drug test (part of getting promoted at Walmart).    (Defendant seems stoned right now).    Defendant says she didn't wreck car, but it had damage when she came out of the drug test lab.      

Plaintiff claims defendant was trying to get clean pee for her urine test, and went several places, but that's hearsay.    However, I definitely believe the defendant is a long-term user, since she thinks JJ is believing her lame story.     

$1124 for plaintiff (No. defendant isn't still working at Walmart).

Sister Fight  -Plaintiff /sister Laura Ruiz defendant/sister Delores “Dee” Valdez  for an assault and damaged property.   Plaintiff moved home to Utah, left a lot of stuff in storage, brought some to defendant’s house when she moved in, mostly personal items.    Then plaintiff was going to sell excess property at a garage sale.   Shortly after arriving, the two sisters started arguing.   Defendant’s daughter and boyfriend got involved.    Then, defendant took her daughter’s side, and plaintiff claims defendant assaulted and spit on her.

Defendant claims plaintiff assaulted her, so she told plaintiff to get out of her house.    Police were called, and defendant later pled guilty to the assault in return for probation, so defendant’s counter claim is dismissed.

The main property plaintiff wants is a huge giraffe statue.    Plaintiff had a four-hour police standby to retrieve her property, but left the only thing she wants now behind?

Plaintiff case dismissed.    

Biting Dalmatian? -Plaintiff/cousin Jamie Strobel suing defendant/cousin Rebekah Strobel, for lease breaking fees.     Two cousins leased an apartment together.  Then, plaintiff's Dalmatian attacked defendant.  Plaintiff claims after the attack she was forced to move out for her own safety.    Plaintiff claims the Dalmatian was hit by a car, and abused by a burglar, and has issues with new people, and tries to attack people.     

Plaintiff told defendant that dog would get used to her, and be fine with defendant's presence.   They moved in during January, and in February attacked defendant, trapped her in the bathroom, and bit her leg.   

The photos of the bite are bad.   Then in March defendant moved out formally, and took everything, but physically moved out right after the bite.    Defendant couldn't have anyone over, especially children, without the dog becoming aggressive.   Plaintiff wouldn't do anything about the dog, so defendant moved out.    JJ says plaintiff has to get rid of the dog, or pay her own rent.

Plaintiff gets nothing, and deserves nothing.

Burning Down the House -Plaintiff /former tenant Jessica Brown suing defendant/landlord Laura McIntyre for return of her security deposit.    Plaintiff and boyfriend were both on lease, as tenants, and plaintiff’s three children moved in also, because landlord didn’t think Jessica could pay the lease by herself.

When plaintiff, and children moved in, boyfriend Richard moved in with her. Six days after moving in plaintiff, and boyfriend had an argument, and boyfriend, Richard, burned the house down deliberately.   The lease says any fire or other event caused by tenant is responsibility of tenant.   

Plaintiff submits another lease, signed only by plaintiff, and landlady.    There is a valid lease with both plaintiffs dated 9 January, then another lease on 13 January with only Jessica on it.     Landlady says the second lease was to help plaintiff get custody of her three children.     Second lease isn’t valid, because first lease was in force. 

Plaintiff claims boyfriend only signed lease, but wasn’t to move in, so unless there is an agreement to remove boyfriend’s name from lease, second lease with only Jessica’s name on it isn’t valid.   

 On 15 January plaintiff and boyfriend got the keys, boyfriend moved his stuff in, and Jessica and Richard argued about him moving in.   Then, boyfriend called police on Jessica.  

First lease with plaintiff and Richard signatures on it is valid, and second only with plaintiff’s name was invalid, because the first lease rented the property.     Plaintiff and Richard were only dating for four months. 

Former landlord is counter suing former tenant for an insurance deductible, and loss of profits.  

Defendant’s home was thoroughly destroyed after purchasing and renovating the house, and then the fire destroyed it.   There is an arrest warrant for boyfriend, but he hasn’t been arrested.  Plaintiff claims she told defendant about boyfriend’s criminal record, and so boyfriend’s arson was predictable.

Defendant received $51,000 from her insurance company.   Counter suit is for insurance deductible. Defendant didn’t get anything, or it wasn’t mentioned, but keeps the plaintiff’s security deposit, and other payments. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Short Sale Showdown -Plaintiff/ex-wife Dawn Feibel is suing defendant/ex-husband Edward Tinnivliogliu for profits from their former home after a divorce.   The couple had three children, plaintiff took over the home, but didn’t refinance the home in 36 months, which was required in the divorce settlement.

When home was sold, profits were split, and plaintiff wants defendant’s money. (This happened in Maryland).   Why was this filed in Small Claims, instead of Family Court in Maryland?  This has been going on for three years.

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

Defendant father lives in Fargo, ND, and kids were in Minnesota, and defendant father wanted custody of the kids.   Defendant man called the sister with the kids, and wanted to talk to his kids, and kids didn't want to talk to him.   Defendant father goes to court in ND, and gets custody of the three kids (the ones the Texas court stopped all visitation with the defendant father).       

Plaintiff paid $700 for airfare for the three kids, who only lived with her for a week, before the father got custody.    Defendant father has the two boys in Fargo with the father, and the daughter (the one he assaulted), is in foster care in ND. 

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

$700 to plaintiff for the airfare. 

Victim Compensation Funeral-Plaintiff / funeral director Monty Roberts is suing defendant/mother Cheryl Torres (Villa) of deceased son, for funeral costs she still owes.   Defendant owes money to funeral director for son's funeral, and is counter suing him to get funeral payment back.  The mother's claim to a state crime victim funeral fund was turned down.   

 There was the option of a state or county paid pauper's funeral, but mother wanted a better funeral.   Funeral director told defendant about the state crime victim's compensation fund.   Funeral director told defendant about her funeral cost options.   Plaintiff has a signed contract for the funeral, and cemetery.   Defendant claims she paid $300 to plaintiff.   

(My guess is funeral director suggested the show appearance, and that way he would get money, but it wouldn’t come out of defendant’s pocket).   

$5000 to plaintiff.

Second (2016)-

American Bully Puppies for Sale-(This is going to be bad, idiot breeder of dog cropped the dogs' ears himself.   I wish Byrd would show the plaintiff what ear cropping without anesthetic feels like).   

 Plaintiffs Soo Choi and boyfriend Sha-Ron Cobb, have been breeding, and then selling Bullies online, and defendant breeds them also, and bought two to breed from plaintiffs.    One puppy was $1700, and the second was $1500, with only $100 down, pending income tax refund coming in.   Dogs weren't paid off by defendant, Sydney Billips.  Defendant has female bullies, and gets a stud, and breeds bullies.     

Idiot plaintiff man butchered the dog's ear crop, there's a text that it was his first-time cropping ears.   Defendant didn't take either puppy to vet for vet check until two weeks later.   One dog started having seizures, and three vets were consulted.  Vet reports don't say seizure, but NSAID overdose.  Another vet says possible heart murmur.     

Defendant says she can't breed the dogs without papers, but American Bullies aren't AKC anyway, just American Bullies organization, and they register anything (it says so).  Defendant keeps repeating she only bought the two puppies to add to her breeding lineup, and so she won’t have to pay stud fees, or give pick of litter.      I can't tell you how much I loathe everyone in this case. (Girlfriend of plaintiff is saying defendant is shady, and she's running with the loser boyfriend who cuts off ears?)

Plaintiffs get $2500 for puppies, and the paperwork.

Postdated Check Hell-Plaintiff Sylvia Halsey Sydney Billips gave defendant Sydney Billips a post-dated check to buy a car, and said she would tell the dealership not to cash until the date on the check.   $1205, was the check, and car only cost $2200.     Defendant never paid the money back to plaintiff.  Plaintiff went to the bank, stopped payment on the check, and closed the account. 

 Defendant claims she would find the money, and take that to the car dealership, and get the check back.   Then the car dealer cashed the check, and collections came after plaintiff for the $1200.   Defendant has the car, and so was credited by the dealership with the $1200.   

Plaintiff gets $1200, not $1400 to cover the charges on the post-dated check.

Dog Custody -Plaintiff Stefani Myers suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ryan Silva over custody of a German Shepherd dog (GSD). Former boyfriend/girlfriend decided to get a dog, then they split   Defendant is suing for cell phone cancellation fees, and dog expenses.

They were together for 5 ½ years, or 2 ½ years, and then got the dog, they split up 3 years later, and defendant has the dog now.    Plaintiff wants either the cost put into the dog, or the dog back.   Defendant’s $150 to cut plaintiff of the cell phone plan is on defendant.

Dog was registered in defendant’s name in 2010.   They broke up in 2012.     Plaintiff reregistered dog in her name, in 2013.   They split custody, until August 2013, and dog has been in defendant’s custody at least 50/50, then only in defendant’s custody.   Then, after the final breakup, plaintiff re-registered the dog in her name only.

Plaintiff and defendant’s cases dismissed, and dog stays with defendant.

Roommate Dispute -Plaintiff Aaran Quincey (pronounced Erin) suing defendant Jeremy Arnold for lease breaking fees, unpaid rent.    The two signed a joint lease on a home.   Defendant didn’t pay rent, and moved out early.  

Defendant has a ton of excuses, and all of them are ca-ca.   Defendant didn’t pay four months rent, but claims he only failed to pay one month, but sworn statement by plaintiff says he didn’t pay for three months.    JJ has to tell defendant witness to sit down, and I am glad I was already sitting down.

$1400+ to plaintiff

Illegal Driver -Plaintiff Laura Bare suing defendant Matthew Piles for wrecking plaintiff’s truck while on a test drive for sale to defendant.    As usual, defendant had no license.   Defendant also claims the truck steering wheel was loose, and made him lose control.  Plaintiff was going to sell the truck to defendant for $1,000, but plaintiff wants impound fees totaling $5,000.

Defendant’s license was suspended for a D.U.I.    Defendant keeps swaying and weaving around in court, he’s making me dizzy.   Defendant claims it was illegal to impound the vehicle, because he wasn’t the legal owner. 

Plaintiff couldn’t afford to get truck out of impound.

Second (2013)-

Angry Tenant Break-In? -Plaintiff/former tenant Noemi Camacho is suing defendants/landlords Pamela Hall and Clinton Golden for return of deposit, and rent back.  Plaintiff rented a home from defendants, and house needed repair and would be ready by 1 April.  

However, plaintiff demanded to move in before remodeling was done, but plaintiff claims house wasn’t livable.    Plaintiff signed a document that house would be ready by mid-April, but she demanded to move in by April 6 or 7. 

Plaintiff admits she signed document about time frame of remodeling.   Another twist is plaintiff is on Section 8 for part of the rent, so how can you move in before house passes Section 8 inspection?   My understanding is Section 8 inspections must be passed before the tenant can either move into Section 8, or move to another home also under Section 8.    

Plaintiff gets the rent refund and deposit $900, because property wasn’t finished by the date it was supposed to be.  Defendants claim plaintiff damaged house.   Plaintiff claims she never moved in, just had her stuff in the house for a week.     

The back sliding door is shattered, and plaintiff did it.   Plaintiff claims locks were changed, and a sheriff’s deputy told her to get in any way she needed to.  Defendants deny they changed any locks,

Plaintiff’s deposit, minus door costs of $1560 to defendants for door.  

 So, after deducting damages from deposit, $275 to landlords. 

$4,000 Tuition Scam? -Plaintiff Harland Kayani suing defendant Carl Woolsoncroft, a loan for college tuition.   Defendant needed tuition, so plaintiff claims he gave defendant $4,000, and defendant never repaid him.    Defendant claims money was a gift, not a loan.

Defendant only went to Erie Community College for one term, not a year, and only took 4 credits.   However, it turns out when defendant was supposed to be enrolled, he wasn’t. Defendant didn’t use money for school, but instead paid off his car note.

Defendant claims in the hall-terview it was a gift, not a loan.

Plaintiff receives $3300.

Renter Hell! -Plaintiff/former landlord Garey Ledin suing defendant/ former tenant Tami Warborg for damages to his rental home.      Plaintiff and former partner bought property, plaintiff ended up with it, but former partner was living in the house, and later with defendant.   Former partner moved out, and defendant was still living there.       After multiple police reports, plaintiff went to his rental property, and found someone living on the property in a trailer, shady characters living there, and trash everywhere.    JJ doesn’t like the plaintiff, and I have never understood why landlords came on this show.

Plaintiff filed to evict defendant, after a call from a police officer about the nuisance problems with the house, and tenants.   

Defendant’s daughter lived there, daughter’s boyfriend had a drug problem.   Also, defendant had custody of two children from daughter too, but daughter’s boyfriend has the children now.    Also, multiple people with drug issues lived in the trailer.    The trailer turned out to be stolen property, so it was impounded.   Defendant also had multiple vehicles parked all over the property.   

The house pictures show massive amounts of air brushed walls.   The house is totally trashed.  

Defendant received a stay order, and claims all of the trash was caused by landlord, and people he hired to clean the house up.    Plaintiff can’t go to his own house, because of defendant’s friends. 

(This case infuriates me every time it's on.   The owner of the house isn't getting any rent, won't get any damages, and can't get rid of deadbeat tenant, and her druggie friends.     I find it interesting that defendant blames the air brush paint on the grandkids, because there is no way they did that.)

JJ dismisses everything for plaintiff, because he’s “slippery”.   No, JJ wasn’t listening.   Plaintiff took interior pictures during the week that defendant was out of the house, then when she moved back in after the stay, he can’t access the house.   

Defendant is counter claiming for the vehicles that were impounded.  However, the list of towed vehicles doesn’t match the vehicles that defendant is claiming for.

$5,000 to defendant for her bogus claims, and nothing to plaintiff.

Babysitting Scam?! -Plaintiff/babysitter  Stephanie Winningham suing defendant/so-called mother Dawnette Sigmon (SSMOF-Sainted Single Mother of Four) for babysitting fees for her four  children.    Previously, defendant’s mother was paid $700 to $800 a month for babysitting her grandchildren.    By the way, defendant’s new job was at a strip club.

Defendant was on a probationary period at the strip club, and state should have paid the plaintiff’s fees.   Grandmother was paid $700 to $800 by the state for her monthly babysitting fees.   Plaintiff says defendant was paying her $150 a week for the babysitting.  

Plaintiff had a previous CPS issue, so defendant put paperwork in plaintiff’s sister’s name on the paperwork to get the state to pay the babysitting fees.   

Plaintiff receives $1200.

Father and Son Drama -Plaintiff /father Ray Thomas suing defendant /son Jeffrey Thomas and son’t girlfriend Brandi McGill for not paying rent on a home plaintiff owns.  

Plaintiff bought house 32 years ago, and when he moved out, son and girlfriend were renting house.  House had $30,000 profit, but had to pay a line of credit, and only netted $3,000 on the house.

Why did plaintiff agree to come on this show?    JJ is going to screw him over. 

Defendant lost his job, and stopped paying the mortgage payment.   Just because plaintiff refinanced the house, it doesn’t mean he’s not entitled to mortgage / rent from son.

Case dismissed.

Pawnshop Payback?   -Plaintiff Wendy and Rosalio Magdaleno are suing defendant / pawn shop owner Sheila Christiansen for selling jewelry she pawned without giving her a chance to pay it off.   They pawned the jewelry for $2100, and have pawned, and redeemed the same jewelry several times.  When the defendant doesn't get the money to redeem the jewelry by the due date, the jewelry is either sold or melted for the gold.  This happened in Oregon. 

JJ asks if plaintiff has the $2100 to redeem the jewelry?   They answer that they don't.    Case will be recalled when the plaintiffs have the $2100 in hand.

Then case is recalled, and JJ asks defendant if she has the plaintiffs’ property.   Defendant says "Maybe".    Items were pawned in 2012, and the plaintiffs had three months to redeem the property.   The items expired in the first of March, and the letter was sent by defendant saying that the time would expire in 30 days.    The letter was sent to the pawn receipt address, which is right off of husband's driver's license.    Husband signed the pawn ticket, with the wrong address on it, but it matched his I.D.   The letter to plaintiff Rosario's home address matches his driver's license address.   

The wife went in and paid the interest twice, in March, and July, 2013.    The jewelry finally expired, and went through the grace period on the end of September 2013, and when they finally came in during October, they were told the pawn was forfeited.    

 JJ says since the people have dealt with the pawnshop for so long, and if the jewelry hasn't been melted, then JJ says that pawnshop should let them redeem the jewelry.  However, pawnshop owner says she's only willing to return the jewelry, if they pay her for everything they've lost because it expired, including guns, bicycles, and other items.   They go in, and pay after it expires.  They're going to need more than the $2100 for the jewelry. 

JJ says to let the people redeem the three tickets only for the jewelry, plus any accumulated interest, and if pawnshop still has the jewelry not melted, then she should call plaintiffs, or the court and say she has the jewelry.    Plaintiff will either get nothing, or get a chance to redeem their jewelry.  (My guess is if the jewelry wasn't melted before the case, then it certainly was the second the defendant got to a phone).  

(In the defendant’s place, I would ban the plaintiffs from the pawnshop).

Too Much Vodka    -Plaintiff Tyshara Gatling suing defendant Malcom Harris for trashing her belongings during a night of heavy drinking.    Both litigants claim the other was very drunk.     They bought Peach Ciroc Vodka.  Plaintiff claims Malcolm drank half of the huge bottle of vodka, and he admits that.  When they went to a club, plaintiff claims defendant was buying more beers with her money, and she left.  

Plaintiff says defendant was ranting, and when they arrived home plaintiff claims defendant was yelling at her.  Plaintiff claims defendant slapped her, and then broke her TV.  TV breaking was ignored by other people in the apartment.

Plaintiff’s sister testifies about the assault by defendant.   Sister claims defendant admitted breaking the TV, and a laptop.   Defendant claims drunk plaintiff slapped and punched him. 

The two litigants are no longer dating.   

Plaintiff $420.

Paternity Test Time    -Plaintiff/SSMOO (Sainted Single Mother of One) Kristina Valentine is suing defendant/ex, and possible baby daddy Christopher Graham, over furniture, and three phones.  Plaintiff leased the furniture from Aaron’s, and defendant put it in storage.   He told plaintiff when he had to close out the storage unit, and plaintiff never picked it up, so it’s gone.    As JJ said, why didn’t plaintiff tell Aaron’s where the furniture was, two years ago?   Plaintiff didn’t care about the furniture until the collections notice came from Aaron’s.  

Plaintiff is in the process of requesting a paternity test from the defendant from the family court. Defendant doesn’t pay child support, and plaintiff never took him to court, or requested a paternity test to establish paternity, and never applied to the court to get support. 

Plaintiff already paid furniture off, and now has no claim.   Claim dismissed.

Don't Fence Me In    - Plaintiff Michael Jackson is suing defendants, Ken and Jull Kaufman, for cost to replace fence after he says defendants ruined his fence, and tree trimming.     

Plaintiff Michael Jackson owns the fence on his property (not a joint fence) between his house, and defendants' yard.    He also trimmed overhanging branches from defendants’ tree hanging over his fence line.

Defendants piled tires and junk against the fence until the fence broke, when plaintiff wanted replacement costs, the defendants told him to stuff it.    Then they piled the junk against their front gate to keep their dogs in, so they still have a yard with lots of trash and tires.   

 Defendants also wanted plaintiff to pay for the branches they trimmed on their property, from plaintiff's tree (dismissed).  If someone’s tree is hanging over your property, you have the right to trim the branches, but it’s at your own expense.

JJ says since fence is old, defendants don't have to pitch in on fence.   I disagree, because if the trash was leaning against the plaintiff’s fence for years, then the defendants did wreck his fence.     This fence stuff has been going on for over six years!   Too bad no one moved away from the neighbors.  Defendant tries to tell the entire history of their disputes with plaintiff, and I side with the plaintiff.    Wonder how much wildlife is living in the trashy yard of the defendants?  

Case dismissed. 

Sister, I Don't Believe You-   Plaintiff/sister Sarah Maher   suing defendant/sister Nada Maher for cost to repair her car, defendant counter claim is for payments she made on car.   Defendant claims because of bad credit plaintiff either co-signed or registered car in her name, and defendant drove car for two years.   Then, plaintiff claims she told defendant she needed the car back, and defendant wrecked the car. 

 JJ thinks both litigants are lying and just here for the money, and I agree.    Supposedly plaintiff co-signed, and car was in plaintiff's name, but defendant drove it and made payments for two years.  However, defendant didn't have insurance.   

Plaintiff says after defendant wrecked the car

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

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

T-Boned at a Stop Light-    Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Cari Braun, and her mother, Christine Cass, suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ian Rosson for half of a car damage settlement,  after he had an accident, and after plaintiff wouldn't put car in his name (defendant paid for the car).   As JJ says, sign car to defendant, go to DMV, and they will send him a new title.   

Defendant was driving, and speeding, blew a stop sign, and t-boned another car.    There was no insurance, because defendant stopped paying for insurance, because plaintiff wouldn't put the car in his name.    Plaintiff had to pay over $2,000 for car damages, because of the insurance, and title issues.     

Sadly, the litigants have a kid together, and defendant isn't paying child support either.  $2050 was plaintiff's half, but defendant hasn't paid his half yet.  Defendant is a total sad sack, just as JJ says.   Insurance charge is already in collections.   Defendant doesn't want to pay, because plaintiff didn't transfer car to man's name, and he would have had insurance.   Plaintiff agreed with insurance company to pay $2050, and defendant would pay $2050, but hasn’t paid.   Defendant is paying off the other driver’s damages.  

If plaintiff had turned the car over to defendant, then this would all be on defendant, and he would still have had insurance.  

JJ fines plaintiff $500, so court pays plaintiff the remaining $1550.   

Restrain Me No More-     Plaintiff Breanna Anstine and defendant /uncle Jorge ‘George’ Rosas moved in together, and plaintiff is suing for lease breaking fee.    Then defendant’s girlfriend, Lenasia Rosas wife, moved in, and plaintiff got a protective order against both defendants.   

Apartment residents were plaintiff, defendant and wife, plaintiff's boyfriend was there often, and both grandmothers.   

Uncle moved out after protective order, and niece/plaintiff wants money for uncle abandoning the lease.   Apparently, plaintiff and uncle's wife knew each other from high school or something, and don't get along.  $500 to plaintiff to repay a car deductible defendant uncle owes plaintiff.    Plaintiff wants lost wages, dismissed.   

Plaintiff moved out of the house already, and the $500 is all she's getting.

Amanda and Isabel were on the lease, not Harold.   However, Harold lived there, and they are staying in the apartment.   Isabel is moving out, and arranged that with the landlord.  Harold will sign on the lease with his girlfriend, Amanda.   Isabel claims defendant threw the pillow Isabel’s mother died on.   

Everything dismissed.    Plaintiff told to take a marshal, get her stuff tomorrow when she moves out (they’re all from pretty close to the court location). 

Who Scammed Who? -Plaintiff Patience Kofa suing defendant Edwin Lohr for the money from a subwoofer plaintiff sold defendant over the internet.   Plaintiff sold this as a third-party seller on Amazon, who returned defendant’s payment, and defendant will have to return the subwoofer to plaintiff.

Subwoofer back to plaintiff, defendant already has his money back.   

Plaintiff wants the money back, not the subwoofer, she’s getting the subwoofer back.

Car Blow Up! (2014) – Plaintiffs Keith and Alice Kelly suing car seller/defendants Raven Seals, and brother Joe Dodd over a car plaintiffs bought from defendant.    Plaintiffs claim car blew up on the way to the mechanic’s shop. 

Plaintiffs paid $3600 for the car, no test drive, no paperwork.   However, Joe Dodd, defendant says he left the bill of sale at home (apparently, he thought he was coming to the beach today).   

Instead of taking the car back to defendants, the plaintiffs took the car to the mechanic, and paid the mechanic for repairs. 

A week later the plaintiffs paid to repair the car, and treating it as your own means you've completed the sale.   Therefore, the "As Is" rule, and the completed contract sink the chances of any refund. 

Plaintiffs spent over $4500 on repairs.   

Second (2013)-

Fake Doctor? -Plaintiff Kristina English suing defendant/Chiropractor Dr. Barry Schleider, for selling her a series of treatments for $5,000, plaintiff claims it was to cover lifetime chiropractic services.   Plaintiff claims defendant is a fraud, and she should get her money back.   Plaintiff was having back pain, and after a lot of treatment she still has back pain, and wants every penny back.  

Plaintiff will only get her money back if defendant refused to treat her.   Plaintiff had a mountain bike accident about 18 months before the treatments started.  Plaintiff went to four or five Chiropractors or doctors before going to defendant.   Defendant was the only person who offered a diagnosis, and a treatment plan. 

The lifetime treatment plan, with a couple of visits a week, would cost $5,000, until the back pain was gone.    Plaintiff paid the $5,000, and went two or so times a week, after six weeks she was taken off of decompression, and she then wanted her money back.   Plaintiff claims other medical professionals said she didn’t have a ‘crunched’ vertebrae, but they aren’t here to testify.  

Plaintiff witness, another Chiropractor, only saw a photocopy of the X-rays, and isn’t certified as an expert witness.    Dr. Carol Soloway testifies, and she’s a plaintiff witness who was a chiropractic reviewer for an insurance company, and not an independent witness.   The witness is testifying based on a bad photocopy of x-rays, about decompression plans, and treatments.   

However, this is a contract case, not a medical case.   Defendant shows plaintiff had 42 office visits, which comes out to $119 per visit.   There is nothing written guaranteeing the plaintiff will be healed, and pain free.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Defendant says that if plaintiff returns to his office that he will treat her.

Hair Salon Rip-Off-Plaintiff/salon landlord, and building owner John Thorpe is suing former hair salon tenant that didn't pay her rent, and claims she stole furniture also.    Defendant LaTanya Rice claims plaintiff told her she could refurbish, and keep the old salon furniture.   What kind of salon rents for $450 a month?    As usual, defendant has no proof she paid the rent.   Plaintiff says defendant paid less than half of the time.     $2200 in rent is owed by defendant.   

Salon furniture is next, but since furniture was used, plaintiff gets nothing for the furniture.    The plaintiff's wife's mother owned the building for years, and equipped the salon, and then rented it out.   Plaintiffs inherited the building, and the furnishings. 

(My view is salon chairs, even old ones, are very expensive.   The mother purchased them, and the plaintiff inherited them, but that doesn't make all of the equipment worthless.    If the plaintiff intended to rent a furnished salon again, he would have had to spend many thousands to replace the equipment). 

Plaintiff gets $2200 in unpaid rent, not furniture.   I agree with plaintiff’s wife, the first month of late rent should have resulted in eviction. 

Cousins Go Dutch on Rent-Plaintiff Isaiah Moore allowed his cousin and her two kids/defendant April White-Lee to move in to his place, but she never paid her $200 a month rent.  They were first going to pay alternate months, but only plaintiff paid all of the rent.  Plaintiff claims defendant took his clothes, but defendant says she returned his stuff.  Plaintiff says he put rims on her car ($440 worth), and one day they were gone, replaced by cheapies.   

Case dismissed for lack of anything to care about. 

Friends' Fallout-Plaintiff  Heather Swinnor  suing defendant/former friend, Elizabeth Pate for unpaid loan to fix up an RV, $1500.  Defendant's RV needed work, so plaintiff loaned her money.     Plaintiff has a spare set of keys to RV, and defendant wants money to change the locks, not happening.  Defendant has PTSD from an accident, and wants money for harassment, not happening.   

I don't think plaintiff had money awarded, but it was so boring, and an obvious money grab by defendant, that I'm not sure.   

Case was dismissed.

Mean Girl Cat Fight?!-   Plaintiff Yioconda Vera (Daughter Makaila) suing defendant Bridgette Farr (daughter Brittany)after their daughters were in another fight at school.   The two combatants stopped being friends in second grade, because defendant kid was being mean, and seems to be proud of that.   There have been other physical fights at school too.   

Then, there was another fight between the same kids, and plaintiff claims the defendant mother tried to hit her with her car.   Defendant counterclaims because plaintiff filed for an order of protection.   I think I know where the defendant kid learned her attitude from.     School determined defendant child is a bully, and so is her mother.  

Scorned Renter Takes Revenge?-   Plaintiff Octavis Lampkin claims defendant Anndrea Thompson took her deposit, and didn't let her move into her room at a condo, so she gets the deposit back, $250.    Defendant witness claims plaintiff vandalized the defendant's car.

Defendant says he was in a romantic relationship with plaintiff from day one.  However, plaintiff denies this allegation, says she lives with her fiance and their child, and says defendant was never at her home.

Plaintiff claims that she was only trying to help defendant cope with emotional issues, after he was widowed.    Defendant lost his wife to MS, the same month plaintiff says she was asked to help him.  

Defendant claims he had an argument with plaintiff, while they were in bed, and then he got drunk, drove drunk leaving plaintiff’s house at 4 a.m., and was arrested while he was on parole for the theft charge.

Plaintiff says she never had a personal relationship with defendant, never argued with him, and JJ doesn’t believe plaintiff’s story.    Defendant says he paid plaintiff $460 on the bail.   So, he still owes $600.

Plaintiff claims defendant owes her $800.

Defendant is counter claiming against plaintiff for his late wife’s jewelry.    Defendant still claims he lived with plaintiff, and lived with her for months at a time.   JJ doesn’t believe the jewelry story defendant told.  Plaintiff claims she had to get the police involved to stop delusional defendant from harassing her.

Honey Delivery Disaster -Plaintiff Konrad Bouffard suing defendant/former honey delivery driver Katharine Dutcher for having two accidents in company car, and taking the car without permission.  Defendant drove company car to make honey deliveries.   The defendant would meet plaintiff, with the company car, already loaded with honey.   Then, defendant bought her own car, and she would meet at the warehouse, and pick up the company car, wrapped in the company advertising.  (This happened in Austin, TX).   Plaintiff was a 1099, contract employee.  

A few months later, defendant had one accident while delivering honey while driving the company car, and sometimes she took the company car home.   Defendant admits first accident was hitting a tree. Plaintiff says she wasn’t on site she was assigned to when the first accident happened.   Defendant doesn’t remember hitting the tree, until after the second accident.   Photos of damage from accident #1 with the tree shows the pickup truck bed passenger side is very dented.    Second accident was when defendant went to a wine bar, and then to another location, and had the second accident.   So, defendant wasn’t on company business for the second accident in a couple of days.   The defendant says she only had an hour’s worth of sleep in 36 hours, and was drinking wine. 

My question is if defendant doesn’t remember a major accident with a tree, was she really driving?  Plaintiff withheld a $647 check from defendant.  JJ says defendant either hit a tree, or a buffalo.

Accident damage is $2293 minus the $647 owed to defendant, $1646 to plaintiff.

So, Sue Me, Roomie -Plaintiff Evan Serling suing defendant Gilbert “Petey” Garcia for non-payment of rent and utilities.   Plaintiff was renting a house, and defendant rented the bedroom for $750, from plaintiff.   Defendant was there for 5 months, and didn’t pay for 3 month’s rent ($2250), and owes $1,000 for his portion of utilities. 

Defendant says he told plaintiff he lost his job.   Then, defendant moved back to his parents’ home.  Defendant claims plaintiff told him not to pay, what he said was not to worry about it.   JJ can’t take it when defendant says “like” and "basically", “you know” and other filler words, and asks Officer Byrd if she can borrow the Kelly Blue Book to read until defendant finishes his ridiculous statement.  Defendant is counter claiming for his TV, and property he left behind at plaintiff’s home. 

$3250 to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

The Danger of Dog Parks-Plaintiff/Greyhound owner Linda Hagood suing defendant/German Shepherd owner of three GSD dogs, and an old Samoyed, for John Yocum for vet bills resulting from an injury to plaintiff’s Greyhound at a dog park.  Plaintiff says defendant's dog bit her dog.   Defendant says he thinks injury was from his dog's sharp collar or some other foreign object, and wasn't his fault. 

Vet report doesn't have a statement, just what procedures they're going to do.   Defendant also says Greyhounds have thin skin, and Dr. Google agrees.   

 JJ agrees that dog parks are a free for all, unless you're taking a vicious animal there, and dogs will be dogs. 

Case dismissed

Study Abroad Misfire-Plaintiff Karalin Henderson suing defendant Stephanie Roberts for not paying for a car lease that defendant took over for plaintiff, when plaintiff moved overseas.    Defendant was supposed to pay $290 for nine months, but stopped paying half way through the period. 

Plaintiff raised the contract amount after a few months, because of excess mileage, changing the contract, so that voided the contract.   A month or so later, plaintiff notified the leasing company to repossess the car.   

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

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

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed. 

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

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

Plaintiff receives $561. 

Second (2016)-

Escape With the Children-Plaintiff Joseph Kirkland suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Jessica Torres (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Four, aged 4, 3, 7 months, and she has a 9 year old by someone else) for stealing his money, and identity theft.     Plaintiff claims defendant is an abusive mother.   Defendant says she never married because her parents never married (40 years together, and are very happy), and were fine without marriage.   

Plaintiff when defendant was pregnant with the youngest child, he claims the father of this child is one of two or three possible fathers, and not his child.  

Custody case is on-going, plaintiff claims he took the oldest two kids and left, so defendant empties the bank account, and sold his tools.     Plaintiff has no proof of the abuse of the kids.   Plaintiff claims he gave the defendant $8,000, but she claims she had a settlement, and loaned him the $8,000.   Plaintiff case dismissed.   

Defendant claims the children were kidnapped, but they don't have a custody agreement, so that's dismissed.  Defendant also has an older child, not plaintiff's kid.   

Everything dismissed.  

Jail Time Between Best Friends-Plaintiff Gregory Barnett suing defendant/former friend and roommate Joseph WIlliams for selling his possessions while he was in jail for a few months, emptied his bank accounts, etc.   Plaintiff and boyfriend had a fight, which resulted in all three getting arrested.   Defendant claims they were all friends, and that's why he knew the plaintiff's banking information to drain the accounts.   (Defendant certainly dressed from the Darth Vader Bling collection today.   The gold spike epaulets are spectacularly awful).   

Plaintiff was in jail for months, and claims the defendant is a thief.    Amazing that the plaintiff spent months in jail, bet there's a history there.   Plaintiff's clothes were either sold or donated, iPhone was sold to the electronics store.     JJ entertains with her instructions in how to spackle wall dents.    Defendant keeps making comments to the audience when they laugh at his outrageous comments.   $3,000 to plaintiff.

Karate Camp Neglect? -Plaintiff Nicolle McClintock mother suing defendant /karate instructor Jon Alster for a refund because he left her 5 and 7 year-old sons unsupervised during Karate camp.  Defendant admits he left the kids unsupervised while he went to get lunch, he claims for only 15 minutes. 

Plaintiff wants a refund after she found out about the lack of supervision, and defendant keeps saying there is a no refund policy once camp starts.    On the first day the two boys, and 10 other kids, were left alone while defendant went to get lunch.    On day two, plaintiff withdrew her sons from the camp, she stopped the childrens' karate lessons, her own karate lessons, and that was a big financial  hot for the defendant. 

During the one-hour lunch break defendant went to a nearby drive thru, children were unsupervised.     (This happened in Calabasas, CA)    What on Earth was the defendant thinking?    ANything could have happened in the amount of time he was gone, including a kid leaving on their own, or someone taking a kid.    

$470 to plaintiff.    I absolutely agree with JJ’s decision, and defendant is lucky he only had a refund to pay.    I wonder how his karate business did after this aired? 

Bad House Sitter?- Plaintiff Sue Ellen and Kevin Mobley suing defendant Andrew Wilson, for wrecking their van, and neglecting their rescue animals while they were on a trip, and allege defendant stole $1,000 from the house.     The $1,000 was the amount they were going to pay defendant for house sitting.    Defendant denies it was stealing, but just collecting his house sitting fee.  

Defendant says his girlfriend was in the hospital, and he had to leave.   

$1,000 for plaintiff.

Sister Fight -Plaintiff /sister Shalina Smith. suing defendant/sister Leah Heron for impound fees, and tickets in her name, after plaintiff sold car to defendant for $2,000.   Car was in plaintiff’s name and would be changed in the registration month.     Plaintiff had to pay the tickets off, impound fees, and other costs after car was impounded while defendant was driving it. 

There were no tags on the car, so car was impounded.     Defendant never registered the car in her name, and tags were gone.    Defendant claims car was in her name, but if that was true, then plaintiff wouldn’t have been able to get car out of impound.

Plaintiff submits proof of the tickets in her name.    Defendant claims car was in her name, and they were her tickets.  

Defendant is so nasty in court, that Officer Byrd escorts her out of the courtroom.  I suspect that JJ is one of the few people that didn’t put up with defendant’s guff.

$892 to plaintiff.  Title is still in plaintiff’s name, and JJ will do an order saying if defendant doesn’t get car from the mechanic shop in 15 days, that plaintiff can junk the car.   

Second (2013)-

Feuding Divorcees -Plaintiff /ex-wife Teresa Blendin suing defendant/ex-husband, Thomas Blendin for causing her to lose her job.   Both were addicts for a long time, and plaintiff works in a drug treatment facility. Both litigants had successful treatment at the drug program.   Plaintiff was a transcriptionist, then worked in the medical records section.   Plaintiff is suing for punitive damages, of $5,000 for causing her to lose her job.   However, defendant is counter suing for $5,000 for the records violation.   

Plaintiff accessed ex-husband’s treatment records at the facility (HIPPA and privacy act violations, and cause for immediate firing, and possible legal charges).    Ex-husband found out from plaintiff that she had accessed his medical treatment records, and she was terminated after the facility found out about the records violation.   

Defendant says he found out about the record violation, then he started dating another patient at the facility (it’s an intensive out-patient drug treatment program).    Defendant says plaintiff told defendant, and the girlfriend that she accessed the girlfriend’s records. 

 Litigant’s daughter is plaintiff witness, was also working at the facility, and was also fired for snooping in records.

Plaintiff claims not to know the girlfriend’s identity, then admits she knows the woman’s drug counselor, and other information.   

(In hall-terview, plaintiff says “He’s the (her ex-husband) only person that I told I looked at his records”.  So, she apparently snooped more than once.  She’s lucky she was only fired, and her daughter with her.   I wonder how many other people’s records were accessed illegally?).  (A local medical person in the next town was caught doing this, illegally accessing  medical records, and disclosing information, and did it on several occasions, and was fired.   The medical facility was also sued by the patient who had their records accessed, and received a large settlement, in the middle six figures).

Plaintiff case dismissed.   As Baretta said, “Don’t do the crime, if you can’t do the time”.    

Defendant receives $1500. (I would have given defendant the entire $5,000).

Abusive Boyfriend? -Plaintiff/ex-roommate Christa Bates suing defendant/ex-roommate Cheyenne Hoggard for moving out of their joint apartment, and breaking the lease.    Defendant says she moved because plaintiff’s boyfriend moved in, he was abusive to plaintiff, did jail time, and defendant says she moved for her own safety.          

Plaintiff admits boyfriend was abusive.    Plaintiff’s boyfriend was arrested for domestic violence at the previous apartment plaintiff stayed at before the apartment shared with defendant, and had a week in drugs detox.   A week in drug detox isn’t a program, and I don’t see why plaintiff thinks her boyfriend was sober.      Plaintiff did not get a restraining order against boyfriend after the assault, or break up with him. 

Plaintiff’s boyfriend started visiting plaintiff at the apartment about two weeks after the girls moved in.   Defendant filed an ex parte application to get the boyfriend barred.   Supposedly, the plaintiff claims the boyfriend wouldn’t come to the apartment.   Defendant moved out after three months.   Defendant testifies that plaintiff said boyfriend wouldn’t come over to their joint apartment, didn’t know where they lived, and wouldn’t bother them, then came the assault on plaintiff, and the arrest.    Boyfriend had outstanding warrants too.     

Defendant moved out, and in with her boyfriend, and then moved back into her mother’s house. 

Defendant has to pay for her rent, $700 to plaintiff.    Minus $140 of defendant’s security deposit, so plaintiff gets $560.  I wouldn’t have made defendant pay a penny to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

Time Share Fiasco-Plaintiff Leslie Faraone suing defendant/her daughter's ex-boyfriend Gage Cate for failing to repay her for a failed time-share vacation.   Daughter Ashley wanted to take boyfriend, and use the plaintiff's/parent's time share in Las Vegas, and then the couple broke up.   Plaintiff Mom wants the airline ticket for ex paid back.     For the time share, they don’t go to Vegas, but use it to exchange their time there for another location, but have to pay booking fees.  

Defendant said he wanted to go to Florida, and didn't know about the time share in Vegas.  (Daughter was adopted at 19, so she never went on vacations to the time shares, or anywhere before this).    Then couple broke up, and plaintiff wants time share change fee, and airline ticket.    The payments, airline, points, and everything is very confusing.   

Plaintiff claims defendant should pay for airline, and booking fees.   Defendant took out a loan right before this, and it was to consolidate debt, but not for the trip.     

Plaintiff receives $220.   

Bad Luck Car Sale-Plaintiff Alfonso Lopez suing defendant/ unlicensed car buyer, Joey Lopez for towing fees, (both litigants are not related, but have the same last name), tickets, and impound fees.       Down payment was $800, and defendant should pay $215 a month.   Defendant only paid the $800, and additional $100, so car is half paid off. 

Defendant was driving the car, and three weeks later was pulled over by police.  Defendant had no license, and car was impounded.     Car was still titled to plaintiff, so only he could get it out of impound.   

Defendant wanted plaintiff to sign pink slip, so he could get the car registered/titled, and get his license, so he could get the car out of impound.  Another issue is there was a 30-day hold on the impound. 

Plaintiff tried to get the car out of impound, but he couldn't with the 30-day hold, and the $2,000 storage fees for an $1,800 car.   The impound lot said they would only release the car earlier than 30 days, if the plaintiff/owner said it was stolen.     

$3800 to plaintiff.  

Second (2016)-

Grandparents' Rights Now-Plaintiffs John and Victoria Heatley are suing their former attorney/defendant Paul LaValle for fees paid to him to fight for visitation with their grandchildren.    Defendant claims that couple never had a marriage, and therefore, the payments from plaintiffs to get the son a divorce was bogus.   Plaintiff's son was convicted and sentenced to prison, and they hired the attorney to get visitation with the son's children.   

Plaintiff's witness is mother of the children, but was never married to father of children (except common law apparently, which is still legal in Texas).   Attorney claims the son,  claimed to be common law married to plaintiff witness/mother of children, and needed a divorce to get visitation.   

Plaintiff witness Ms. Karmclaims she didn't appear in divorce court, but attorney claims it there was a divorce hearing with plaintiff's witness testifying.  There was a hearing in divorce court, but the son and girlfriend reconciled, so divorce was dismissed.   

Agreement with attorney says he was hired for divorce of son, not custody hearing.    The grandparents had son living with them, before prison, and if they did the divorce, then the son would get visitation, and the grandparents could see the children.     Attorney did substantial work for the divorce and custody case.    Attorney is counter suing for unpaid fees.   

Texas has common law marriage, so grandmother is stupid claiming it doesn't exist.   There are specific requirements to quality as Common Law in Texas. 

There were videos of two robberies by the son, and was suspected in a third robbery, and he received two concurrent sentences for robbery, and had a drug problem   Dad or stepdad is offended that the son/stepson was called a druggie. 

Because son of plaintiffs and ex reconciled, the grandparents see the grandchildren regularly

Case dismissed.  In the Hall-terview, grandparents still don't get that there are no grandparents' rights.  

The Dating List-Plaintiff Leslie Kortez suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Robert Widlacki for various unpaid loans she made him.   He repaid a $500 loan, but not the smaller 'loans' for things such as, dinner out.   No expectation of repayment means case dismissed.

Case dismissed.

First (2014)-

Dog Blamed for Violent Crash -Plaintiff/motorcyclist Richard ‘Rick’ Gibson  suing defendant/dog owner Kristi Funk for her unleashed dog running into traffic, causing a motorcycle collision that injured him, his witnesses, and totaled his bike. Plaintiff wants $3796 for motorcycle damages.   

Dog ran out onto a four-lane highway, when a group of motorcyclists were approaching. Then, Dennis Wallace and his wife, (Vicki Wallace) on separate motorcycles, hit the pavement.   Dennis Wallace is plaintiff’s witness, who was on another motorcycle, and hit plaintiff.    Vicki Wallace broke five teeth in the accident. 

Defendant and friends had been in the park / picnic area next to the road, and her dog was off leash, swimming with the group, then dog disappeared, and the collisions happened. 

Defendant says plaintiff was speeding, so accident had nothing to do with her dog turning into a speed bump on the highway.    Plaintiff noticed dog running into traffic, started braking.   SUV started braking, and then plaintiff’s witness wife hit an SUV with her bike.   Then, plaintiff witness struck Mr. Wallace, and Mrs. Wallace hit the back of the SUV.   Defense witness Bergoyne says dog was swimming with them, and saw dog leave the creek, and go up to the road.   Witness tries to claim the dog never went into traffic, which is a lie. 

Plaintiff receives $3500 for his motorcycle.   Plaintiff witness’s injuries were covered by medical and vehicle insurance.

Roommate Disaster -Plaintiff/former roommates Jeremy Bauer (boyfriend) and (girlfriend) Giavanna Corado suing defendant/former third roommate Nathan Osias for unpaid rent, personal property and storage fees.

Defendant moved out, and was replaced with another roommate.    By the middle of the month, defendant moved out, and next roommate moved her stuff in.  

In the hall-terview plantiff Bauer claims he’s going to press criminal charges for the dresser that defendant took with him when he left.  However, the contract signed with the show states that nothing will be adjudicated after the court case.     The dresser was a freebie that plaintiff Bauer inherited and put in the other bedroom.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Mom Thrown Out of Courtroom!  -Plaintiff Kyle Grant suing defendant/former friend Leah Hensel for repayment of a loan to take several people out for a birthday dinner.   Plaintiff claims defendant repaid him with a bad check.    Defendant denies plaintiff ever gave her any money, and claims the $250 check she wrote plaintiff was so they could all take her boyfriend out for his birthday dinner, but just to show plaintiff’s mother (no, it doesn’t make sense to me either).     

Plaintiff’s mother is given the Byrd boot, after she won’t stop shaking her head like a bobble head doll, and because she’s arguing, and talking back to JJ.  Plaintiff Mommy keeps saying “No” when Byrd boots her, and I wish he really had booted her.

Defendant claims it wasn’t a loan, and plaintiff wasn’t supposed to cash the $250 check, but plaintiff cashed it anyway, and it bounced.      Defendant’s explanation of why the check wasn’t a loan is bizarre, and how it wasn’t supposed to be cashed.   Litigants claim they both went to the casino, with the ex-boyfriend, and defendant claims to remembers nothing.  Then defendant wrote the rubber check.

Defendant’s witness keeps laughing at plaintiff’s testimony.   

Plaintiff has proof he withdrew the $250 from his bank account.

JJ points out the liars on this show sometimes end up with a red chest, like defendant has now. My thanks to the camera operator who zoomed in on defendant’s red chest. 

(I loathe the defendant for taking advantage of the compromised plaintiff.   Defendant should be ashamed, but I know she isn’t.)

Plaintiff receives $250. 

Ex-Lover’s Excuse -Plaintiff Nancy Victorioso suing defendant /Ex-boyfriend John Allen, for a loan to buy a truck, there were three loans that total $2300, and the first two loans weren’t paid back.   $2,000 down payment was for defendant’s truck, and he says a truck loan was a gift.

Defendant claims he never asked plaintiff for the money, that she offered, and said he didn’t have to pay it back.

$2,000 to plaintiff.   I wouldn’t have given her a penny, he never paid a penny back, so she had no expectation of repayment.

First (2017)-

Savage Dog Attack-Plaintiff Michelle Neal suing defendants Valerie and Jose Betancourt, for vet bills, after an attack by defendant's German Shepherd on plaintiff's Chihuahua at a dog park.  This part of the dog park is for walking, not ball throwing, which is in another part of the park.       Defendants claim their German Shepherd didn't attack the Chi, but it was another GSD.   Chi was off-leash, (legal at the dog park area), when the GSD attack happened, and plaintiff's boyfriend Jesse Lara, separated the dogs by grabbing the GSD’s collar.  Then, the GSD slipped the collar, and attacked two more times.   Jesse freed the Chihuahua again, and a good Samaritan helped plaintiff wrap a jacket around the dog.  

Defendant wife gave her phone number to plaintiff, but later claimed the dog who attacked the Chi wasn’t her GSD.  Defendant wife came up to get her GSD, but now claims her dog didn't do it.  

Defendant wife did give her phone number to plaintiff. but refused to pay the bills, and defendant husband got very nasty with plaintiff, and her boyfriend.   Defendant wife said that her husband, and the boyfriend should settle things, man to man.  

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

Plaintiffs receive $5,000.    

Medical Treatment Disaster- (I remember this one, the poor woman with the treatment has a horrific disease.  Money was borrowed to pay the medical bills.)    Plaintiff Angelica Bouchet suing her husband’s brother-in-law/defendant Charles Schafer for the repayment of a loan for defendant's wife chemo therapy bills.     Plaintiff denies she knew about the wife's condition, Wegener’s disease, which requires chemotherapy, but claims the loan was just to pay bills.   Defendant had to pay $4,000 a week for three rounds of chemo, adding up to $75,000.    Plus, hyperbaric treatments adding to the same amount.   The plaintiff’s husband and defendant's wife are siblings, so I call bull on the plaintiff's claims about ignorance of the disease.  

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

The bills faced by defendants are horrific, and for plaintiff to deny she knew anything about the treatments for the defendant's wife is appalling.     Plaintiffs claim it was a loan, and defendant says he is totally bankrupt.     My guess is plaintiffs will never let this go.      (My guess is the loan is only a tiny part of the issue the plaintiff has with her sister-in-law, and the brother-in-law).   Defendant did manage to pay back $2500.

Plaintiffs get $5,000.    

Second (2016)-

In and Out of Jail!    -Plaintiff /professional house squatter Rachelle Marvel is suing defendant/former roommate Heather Parent for utilities, rent, credit card charges, and lots of thefts.    Plaintiff and defendant met in drug rehab.   

Plaintiff was constantly violating her probation for DUI, and going back to jail.   Plaintiff's house was in foreclosure for non-payment, needed a house sitter, she is still squatting in the house, and moved defendant into her house.      Plaintiff is still in the home, and still not paying the mortgage or bills. 

Defendant was going to pay rent, watch plaintiff's cats, signed a lease for $1k a month, and moved in with her 4 kids.   Plaintiff's kids all have iPhone 6, Xbox (the plaintiff's kids live with their father).   There is no proof that defendant stole anything, and a lot of people had access to the house.     Credit card charges are $60.   

Squatter plaintiff gets $60.   (Plaintiff looks totally wasted). 

Rescued Mastiff Mischief-Plaintiff /Boxer owner Rhonda and John McGrath suing defendant/Mastiff owner Livada Miller after her Mastiff attacked their Boxer.  Defendant's "Smug boyfriend" claims it never happened, because the Mastiff was chained outside.   

This is the one where "Smug boyfriend" says he was inside watching "a stupid TV show called Judge Judy".     Sorry, that statement was not followed by Officer Byrd beating the snot out of the Smug boyfriend with the Fly Swatter of Death.   

Plaintiffs were walking their Boxer on leash, when their dog was attacked by a Mastiff that plaintiff had for only a month.    Plaintiffs saw the other dog was loose, and turned the other way, and the Mastiff charged, hit the Boxer, and her husband went down too.   Plaintiff woman started screaming for help, people responded, told her where the dog lived. 

Plaintiff claims the dog never left their yard, since the dog was back on the chain again (another neighbor took the dog back and chained it up).   Defendant claims dog is dead, but plaintiff says it was the second attack, so dog is at animal control, and up for adoption again.    I guess animal control where this happened doesn't care about bite history, or someone being injured by the dog.       

Plaintiffs get $261 for vet bills.

Good Samaritan Family -Plaintiff Nicole Synesiou suing defendant/former roommate Shaun Scranton (male) for property, unpaid rent, and other living expenses.   Defendant was a long-term friend of the family, and family agreed to help defendant.   Defendant claims he never promised to repay everything from his student loan money, paid $500 to plaintiff’s mother once.    Defendant also claims he was allowed to use the debit card that belonged to plaintiff, or one of her family.  (this happened in L.A.).   Plaintiff knows exactly when he broke up with his girlfriend, and moved in with plaintiff’s parents, then with plaintiff in the joint apartment.   The litigants actually hooked up once or twice.   

JJ has serious heartburn that defendant gets $3865 a month from the government, in the form of student loans, which he spends on a lot of things besides tuition and books, and minus medical insurance costs.  He writes part-time for money, and gets his student loans, totaling $3865 per semester.    His rent was $375, he owes for four month’s rent.      All of the money is from Government student loans, $18,000 tuition a quarter, plus costs for books, rent, utilities, etc.    The money also pays for his child’s expenses.      I wonder if he got a job that paid enough to pay back the student loans?

Plaintiff receives $1500 for rent.

Daddy’s Girlfriend -Plaintiff/daughter Nadia Green suing defendant/father’s girlfriend Jacqueline Jones for rent and personal property.   The two litigants moved into a shared apartment, then defendant couldn’t afford the apartment because she had to quit working.    Defendant stayed in the joint apartment without paying rent for months after she told plaintiff she was no longer going to pay rent, Defendant denies she stole plaintiff’s property when she moved out.   Rent was $1475 a month, split in half, and defendant only paid for a few months. 

Defendant qualified for low income housing, but stayed in the apartment anyway.

JJ says since plaintiff’s boyfriend moved in, he can pay half of the rent, so defendant only owes for one month’s rent, $750.

(Plaintiff’s hair or wig or whatever it is, is hideous.)    Plaintiff claims defendant stole her modeling clothes, and purses, and a TV her dad gave her.    Defendant claims she never took anything.

Plaintiff receives $750.

Second (2013)-

Victim of Racism or a Thief? -Plaintiff Jason Jones suing defendant/store owner Pavinder Singh for accusing him of being a thief, and assaulting him.   Defendant claims plaintiff is a panhandler, and thief.   Plaintiff claims defendant’s wife handed defendant a metal pipe, and claims defendant assaulted him.

Plaintiff claims defendant stole his cell phone two or three weeks before the assault.    Then on the day of the supposed assault, plaintiff and his friends were hanging out around the store, eating lunch, and says that was when defendant attacked him.    Plaintiff is a day laborer, and gets public assistance, but not a steady job.    

Defendant says plaintiff is a panhandler, who usually comes in the store when defendant’s wife is working alone, and claims plaintiff is often drunk, and stealing, and panhandling at the store.  Defendant’s story is plaintiff was drunk, panhandling, accused him of stealing his phone, and when defendant said he was calling the police, was when plaintiff attacked him.  

Police report says plaintiff’s friend confirmed that they had been trespassed off the property previously, that plaintiff was there to buy alcohol, that store owner told them both to get off the property, confirms plaintiff attacked the defendant, and injuries of both litigants were consistent with what the defendant said.    Defendant did pick up a bat to defend himself.

Plaintiff’s mother is his witness, and JJ and the mother discuss the son’s/plaintiff’s alcohol problems.  Plaintiff also consulted an attorney, who declined to represent him in court.

Plaintiff receives $1 for defendant defending himself. (This case was filmed in 2013, I wonder where plaintiff is now?).

Immigrant Battle-    -Plaintiff/Australian Michael Shepherd suing defendant/ South African James Morrison over a physical fight.   Plaintiff is suing for harassment, and defendant disposing of his boat cover.   Boat cover was custom made, but used, and hard to replace.   This happened in Minnesota.

Defendant says landlord hired (landlord is plaintiff's witness) him to clean up the rented lot, and he threw out a moldy tarp.  Defendant rented one lot from plaintiff landlord.   Landlord says defendant does clean up property for him occasionally, but hadn't hired man to clean this time.   Defendant's witness gets booted.   

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

Plaintiff gets $150 to buy a boat cover (it won't be custom, but the other one was used, and very expensive to replace, and it was falling apart.)   

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

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

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

Case dismissed.  When defendant hears ‘case dismissed’ he’s standing there with his mouth hanging open. 

Second (2016)-

Addiction, Conviction...Recovery?-   Plaintiff  Christopher “Patrick”  Noonan and mommy Jennie Noonan are suing  defendants  Chalene Ergler and Kelly Schleiffers for emotional distress, stolen property, refund of rent,  and wrongful eviction, emotional distress.   He was evicted from his sober living house for refusing to take a drug test.  Plaintiff has been imprisoned for prescription fraud (Oxycodone), identity theft, and possession of oxy, and was on probation after a prison sentence (17 months). Plaintiff was also briefly jailed twice for probation violations.  He’s been on SS Disability for 15 years, and that’s how he supports himself, and pays the rent and other expenses. 

Plaintiff son was required to complete rehab, and live at the Sober Living house.    He lived in a sober living house for 18 months.  He was rearrested for probation violations twice.    Defendants claim man destroyed his room at their sober living house after the drug test dust up.   

Plaintiff claimed when he had to do a drug test, that he had an appointment (not medical).  Plaintiff also said after his probation that he couldn't be forced to do a drug test (wrong, it's in the house rules).   Then, he told them he wasn't taking a drug test, so he was told he is being evicted, and then trashed his room.  He is accused of pouring concrete down the sink, removing the light fixtures, breaking the toilet, and other damage.   

The mother just can't stop whining about her 45-year-old man-baby, and how he's not responsible for anything.   The mother actually is blaming the son's melt down on the sober living personnel, and saying evicting him made his conditions worse.    The plaintiff man keeps swaying, and moving, it’s making me sick. 

Damages to the apartment are severe.  Broken toilet, broken light fixtures, sink has been filled with concrete, linoleum ripped up, and room is a disgusting pig sty.   

 The most interesting moment for me is when Mommy says he's not moving in with her, except temporarily, even though he was living in a tent in the woods, and was evicted by police.    

Case dismissed.

4 p.m. reruns-

First (2014)-

House Mayhem -Plaintiff Jermaine Epps suing defendant/former landlords Sederian and Willie Henderson for return of property, and security deposit.   Mr. Epps gets unemployment benefits, and was on medical leave for eight months, on temporary disability.        This all happened in Sacramento, CA.   Plaintiff formerly worked in a legal office, then unemployment/disability, and then collections.     He attends school.   

Plaintiff moved in to defendant’s place in May 2013, paying $ a month rent.    He left in September 2013.  He paid $400 security deposit, rent was $1100 a month.   He only paid one month’s rent in full, and then paid partial or no rent the other months.   Plaintiff wants his security back, and that’s not happening.   Plaintiff was finally evicted, and still wants his property back that the defendants put out when he left.

Plaintiff case dismissed after the “Ate the Steak” lecture.

Frenemies -Plaintiff Kathryn Walton suing defendant Christina Asbury for an unpaid loan, unpaid rent, and car damages.   Both litigants met in drug treatment.  Then defendant moved in with plaintiff, would have to pay rent only after she got a job, and was loaned $300 for work clothes.  Plaintiff claims defendant only paid her $600 total.    

The two have been acquainted for over 10 years.    Defendant has a sometimes employed boyfriend, but she works at a gas station chain that also employs plaintiff at another location.   Plaintiff’s rent didn’t change because of defendant living there, and plaintiff doesn’t have other roommates before or after this.

Defendant owed money for a computer, and claims plaintiff’s broken windshield was the computer seller.   

Plaintiff is told to file a police report about the person defendant claims broke the windshield.

Plaintiff gets $300.

Under the Influence -Plaintiff /car owner John Meyer suing defendant/niece Tammy Williams for wrecking his car.   This is really bizarre, plaintiff loaned truck to his niece, but defendant’s mother was driving, because defendant was too drunk to drive.   However, the defendant’s mother Robin Manchester, was also drunk, and is plaintiff’s witness. 

Truck got rolled, and totaled.  

Plaintiff isn’t suing the niece’s mother, but suing his niece. 

JJ tells plaintiff to sue his sister, and dismisses his case.  In the hall-terview defendant’s mother blames her daughter for the wreck.    

Second (2013)-

Tandem Bike Crash! -Plaintiff Keith and Kathy Wiebke (the parents) (injured teen was their daughter Melissa Wiebke) are suing defendant Timeri Pavia-Faulds (mother of daughter in bike crash, and tandem bike owner), for a bike crash that broke plaintiff Melissa’s knee.   Bailey Pavia, is daughter of defendant, and was riding and steering the bike.  

Plaintiff daughter, Melissa claims she went to defendant’s garage with mother and daughter, and defendant mother said “You should ride it”.   Not believing the plaintiff daughter’s statement.    Defendants just obtained the bike, and had it put together a day or so before the crash.

Plaintiff daughter says she wanted to ride the defendant’s tandem bike, and defendant mother let them.  The two daughters got on the bike, and crashed, breaking plaintiff daughter’s knee. 

Defendant daughter Bailey testifies that they wanted to try the bike, and mother agreed to let the girls ride it.  

Plaintiff wants daughter’s co-pays for medical care paid by defendant mother.  Plaintiff mother claims daughter wasn’t supposed to go to defendant’s house, which is obviously a lie.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Plaintiff father is still whining in the hall-terview. 

Ex-Lovers’ Feud -Plaintiff /ex-boyfriend James Clark Jr suing defendant ex-girlfriend Amy Waring for return of belongings she took when she left their home, rent, bills, and cleaning costs.    The litigants lived together for about six months, with defendant’s two children.    They moved into the apartment at the same time, both were on the lease, and defendant had been unemployed for a year before the move in, and didn’t get a job until two months after she moved in.    

Plaintiff tries to claim defendant would pay her half of rent and utilities to him, and catch up after she got a job, but JJ says plaintiff was trading rent for sex with defendant.    After defendant got a job in December, she didn’t pay rent and she moved out in April.   As JJ says, they weren’t roommates, but romantic partners.

JJ will not pay back rent to plaintiff from October to April, and asks plaintiff if he wants to take the rest to another judge.

Plaintiff case dismissed without prejudice to go to another court.

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2017)-

Where's the Ring?-Plaintiff Clifton McNeil suing defendant/former fiance Rahsheena Jones for the return of tools, a basketball hoop (or goal?), and an engagement ring.   The two lived together, with her children, for over two years. 

 Defendant owns a deli/grocery, and plaintiff worked there and they lived above it.   Mostly we're talking about the ring, and defendant says she has no idea where the ring is, and claims plaintiff took the ring with him.   

 Defendant said they never got around to getting married.   Plaintiff says he did not take the ring, and says def. is a liar.   Plaintiff says the defendant claimed to be divorced, but is still married.   

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

Everything dismissed.

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

The Case of the Missing Car-Plaintiff Tenisha Venny suing defendant/mechanic Brian McCracken  for losing her car, that she bought from him.   Plaintiff had defendant fix car body damages.  Plaintiff paid $5,000 (book value is $3525) for car, because of rims.   Plaintiff has no proof of paying mechanic for car.  Car blue book is $3525, but plaintiff paid $5,000.  Police report says car was worth $3,000 according to plaintiff. 

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

$3540 for plaintiff

Totaled Friendship-Plaintiff Nygia Sly suing defendant/former friend Linda Randolph for wrecking her car, a 1996 Honda Accord.   Defendant had driven the car several times before the accident.     Defendant borrowed plaintiff's car in rainy weather, slid off of the road, and claims nothing was her fault.  She's blaming the car, and says the car was defective. 

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

Second (2016)-

Confidential Prison Marriage!-(As we found out last time this aired, confidential marriage in California is legal, and  exists)-Plaintiff/ daughter Chris Erickson  suing defendant/step father Phillip Enholm III, husband of late mother, over a truck, and personal items.   

Mother and step dad were incarcerated 15 years ago for meth manufacturing, and married in prison (confidential license).    Defendant says meth charge was because the defendant and plaintiff’s mother saw something by the side of the road, and it was meth, so they got charged with manufacturing meth (no, I don’t believe it).    The couple lived together for 15 years, married for 10 years, then woman had a stroke, and died a month later.   

Daughter says the mother's previous divorce wasn't legal (in 1978), and therefore, the marriage wasn't legal, so she wants the truck.    Too late to claim that.  The couple lived together off and on for many years, so the truck should be his anyway.     Plaintiff daughter claims the defendant’s marriage to her mother wasn’t legal, but also claims the mother and defendant were divorced, but they weren’t.

Title is in defendant's name, and he keeps the truck.  The personal stuff left in the truck looked like trash.   Plaintiff had truck for a while, and defendant claims plaintiff stole his tools.  

Daughter gets nothing, and deserves less. 

Online Dating Bust!- Plaintiff Craig Allen met ex-girlfriend/ defendant Sarah Powers online, they moved in together, the relationship went bust, and now they're fighting over security deposit.    $2900 was the security deposit ($1450 is half, that he is owed). 

Defendant wants car fees (he borrowed her car), moving expenses, and unpaid loan for eye surgery, $1090.15.       Plaintiff gets $360 (security deposit, minus eye surgery amount).   

(Hall-terview with man claims woman is a habitual, violent drunk, and assaulted him, and I believe him).

First (2013)-

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, It’s such 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 computer.  The 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.) 

Second (2012)-

Pregnancy Test Vandalism -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Christopher Thomas suing defendant/ex-girlfriend April Goolsby (SSMOT-Sainted Single Mother of Three, at age 26) over truck vandalism after a heated argument over a pregnancy test.   Plaintiff wanted defendant to take a pregnancy test, and she used a cup, and plaintiff felt the cup and it wasn’t warm.      Plaintiff claims defendant ripped his car from park into drive, and then she did it again, and he says the transmission was damaged, and will cost $900 to fix (bad estimate).

Later the same, plaintiff says defendant’s texts say that she faked the pregnancy test, and admitted she vandalized the truck.   

The next day litigants were at a bar, and defendant claims plaintiff spit on her, physically assaulted her, and claims she’s had pregnancy problems since the bar fight.

$159 to plaintiff for truck window.

Punched in the Face by Teen -Plaintiff Amanda Johnson suing defendant /neighbor’s boyfriend Jimmy Currie for punching plaintiff in the face and breaking her tooth, and breaking a window.     Defendant was at plaintiff’s house, playing cards, and fighting with his girlfriend.   

Defendant’s girlfriend denies boyfriend has blackouts, and assaults people without remembering.

$1500 to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

Limo Driver Thief?-   Plaintiff Francis Tuzzoline Jr suing defendant/former limo driver Michele Kirchner over damage to his limo, auto repairs to her car (plaintiff owns an auto repair shop), and stolen limo fares.   Defendant claims there wasn't an accident, and she doesn't believe there is any damage.  Plaintiff has two limos, and defendant was an independent contractor driving for him five years ago, left for a while, and a year ago she started driving again for him.  Plaintiff claims she went on a job, and didn't bring the limo back for several days.    JJ says if she was on duty, then his insurance should have covered it.   Plaintiff says the rules are explained to the drivers, he thinks damage happened between gigs, when defendant was driving limo for her own purposes.   

Defendant claims she was driving clients for plaintiff when whatever happened occurred.    Defendant claims hitting a marker in the parking lot isn't an accident.   Limo photos are a dent and scrape all along the passenger side, from front to back wheel wells.   $1000 to plaintiff, because that's his deductible, fares thrown out (due to eight-month time span between limo drives, and court).    Also, after this he kept using her as a driver, and did three repairs to her personal car, pending settlement from family inheritance.   

The really bizarre story by plaintiff is that defendant said she would pay him the auto repairs she owed him, from her inheritance when her parents die (I think the parents were still alive when this was filmed).    The auto repairs were done after the accident occurred, and defendant was still employed by the plaintiff for months after the accident.   

$1,000 to plaintiff for his deductible. because JJ believes the defendant had the accident when she was working for the plaintiff.   JJ dismisses the auto repairs plaintiff's mechanics shop did for defendant.  However, since the plaintiff did car repairs after the accident, and still employed defendant, plaintiff’s case is dismissed, and the plaintiff award of $1,000 is cancelled. 

$50,000 Truck Custody Battle-   Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Lynn Dorseysuing defendant/ex-girlfriend Amy Beverly for unpaid car payments, and car upgrades, defendant counter suing for the usual cellphone, a bed, two sofas, and other junk.     Plaintiff bought truck, made payments, but the truck was in defendant's name.  Plaintiff wants his payments back, but would have to get refinanced, and get truck in his name.   (It's been a long time since I saw two unlikable litigants like these two, and their witnesses look angry too.  As my mother used to say, they look like they've been sucking on lemons). 

Plaintiff paid all of the payments, but defendant just started making payments in November.   JJ guesses that plaintiff's truck was in defendant's name, because he either had bad credit, or a bad driving record.    Title and loan was in defendant's name, and she keeps the truck, since plaintiff could have refinanced the loan, and kept the truck.   

Case dismissed, the litigants are arguing like they're on Jerry Springer or Maury.  

Burn, Baby, Burn-   Plaintiff Camille Marshall  suing defendant/former friend Shaun Statham for cost of her car after it caught fire on his property.   Plaintiff had car accident, towed car to defendant's property, and she paid nothing.   She wants $5k for her car, claims she's disabled, doesn't work, and can't pay for repairs (then don't just get liability).     Two months later the car was burned in a fire on the lot.       

Plaintiff standing there looking stunned about JJ not paying her $5,000.   Defendant was claimed to be burning rubbish in a burn barrel, and her car supposedly burned.    Defendant had told her to get her car off of his lot.  Plaintiff is outraged that JJ told her to stuff it.  (I had to laugh at the plaintiff's outrage at JJ, for telling her she's not getting a penny).     

 

Second (2016)-

Pregnancy Complications-   Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Shayna Basting suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Orlando Walker after she found out he was cheating on her while she's pregnant.    Plaintiff also suing for car loan, medical bills, damage to her credit.   Apparently, defendant is paying nothing for their baby either.   

Plaintiff claims she put down two car down payments for him, and took over car payments.   Plaintiff says the medical bills were while they were broken up, and claims the hospitalization was from catching syphilis from defendant.   She also says baby is at risk of death from the congenital syphilis (Don't all OBs do STD tests, especially Syphilis?).       Defendant admits the Syphilis allegation.   

Plaintiff repossessed the car, and gave back to the finance company.   Defendant's claim is dismissed for car.      The baby is a year old, and plaintiff is only applying for child support now.        Plaintiff had medical insurance, and out of pocket is $80, and upcoming bills are the jurisdiction of the family court.   

 Punitive damages for ruining her credit, are another thing she wants.     The two parents are at total odds, and I doubt this is going to change.  JJ also has nothing to do with visitation.   

Case dismissed.   I bet the future court date in family court was spectacular.  

12 Year-Old Shih Tzu Scare-   Plaintiff/Shih Tzu owner Roy Schell suing defendant/Border Collie owner Kelly Todd for vet bills after his Shih Tzu was attacked by defendant's Border Collie.  Plaintiff's vet records are June, and defendant says it happened in September.    I guess defendant is trying for the stupidity defense?   

Plaintiff was living in a studio apartment, in a home and was the only resident.    Plaintiff came home with the dog, entered his own yard, when defendant said that his Border Collie was in the back yard, and plaintiff should pick his dog up, and Border Collie attacked the smaller dog without provocation.   

Defendant claims he was moving into the house, but never did.   Vet bills added up to almost $9,000.     Poor Shih Tzu had a broken jaw among other injuries.   Defendant also claims the landlord was there, and defendant was going to sign a lease, but didn't, and landlord isn't in court either.     (I remember this case, the defendant is scary).

Shih Tzu is perfectly behaved.    $5,000 for vet bills.  (Defendant stomps his way out of the courtroom, and in hall-terview defendant remembers everything now).

Surprise Witness! -Plaintiff/ex-wife Cristi 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.  Plaintiff bought the furniture from a rent-to-own place.  

JJ calls a surprise plaintiff witness outside the courtroom to testify.     Plaintiff witness is Kia Bailey, Sebire the defendant’s witness is her cousin, and was asked by him to help him sell furniture, and a friend of plaintiff’s witness bought the furniture.  There are pictures of the furniture, but no pictures or evidence that defendant sold the furniture.    Defendant witness gets the boot. 

Case dismissed.   No proof defendant stole the furniture.

Injured Pomeranian -Plaintiff Caitlin White suing defendant/her mother Deanna Cox for vet bills after dog sitting mother didn’t take good care of the puppy, and puppy was injured.    Mother said puppy fell off of the porch, but accident happened while brother was walking the dog.

Case dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Mama Drama! -Plaintiff/mother Debra Georgou suing defendant /son Brian Cousar over an unpaid loan to pay his attorney fees, and bail for driving on a suspended license, while speeding.  Bond was $3500, and he called his mother for the bail.   Plaintiff claims she bailed son out, because he was afraid three weeks in jail would mean he would get fired.   Attorney fee was $500, bail was $3500.  

When defendant talks about his arrests, his mother admits she’s been arrested several times.

After son got out, he moved in with mother with his girlfriend, and needed a car.   The mother’s ex-husband had a car for sale.    Son wanted the grandmother’s Hyundai Sonata, and wanted mother to hide the car so grandmother couldn’t take it back.   Girlfriend lies to JJ and say defendant never drove without a license.    Mother finally kicked him and the girlfriend out of her house.

Despicable defendant claims the loans were gifts.   Car loan was in name of grandmother’s name.

Plaintiff receives $5000

No Song to Sing -Plaintiff Bridget Sylvester suing defendant Terelle Gallo for not appearing at an event where he was supposed to sing, and she wants the deposit she paid him returned.    75 tickets were sold, so the venue was too small, so they moved it to a park nearby.      The park permit, and reservation was booked as a ‘picnic’, but plaintiff claims she had proper insurance.        

 Defendant signed the contract that plaintiff presents to JJ. 

The defendant is tossed out of court after defendant claims to remember nothing.    

When defendant gets to the hall-terview he has a sudden return of his memory.

$150 to plaintiff for the deposit.

First (2017)-

$100 Basketball Bet Turns Violent-Plaintiff Richard Caldwell suing defendant Danny Copeland for an assault over a basketball game bet, and missing property.    Two years before there was $100 bet on the game, plaintiff lost, and never paid up.   The two men started arguing over the non-payment, and a fight resulted.  Plaintiff claims he was badly injured, and his gold cross was ripped off (cross was found by police and returned).   Police report is presented. 

Defendant was arrested, but is suing for a false police report.    Defendant claims plaintiff attacked him.  Defendant's case was resolved, and he plead out for a lesser charge, (he was originally charged with five charges) so his counter claim is dismissed.   Next time the plaintiff should pay his bets.   Since defendant plead guilty, his claim is gone.   

Plaintiff gets $2500.

Quick!  I Need a Pizza Oven-Plaintiff Wesley Miller contracted with defendant Jose Martinez to have an outdoor pizza oven, and other items installed, and it had to be finished in a week, and it wasn't finished.  Plaintiff hired someone else to finish the work.   

Defendant claims it rained 5 out of 7 days, and he was in the hospital too, for one day.   Defendant will have to return the money for the job. 

However, defendant claims plaintiff paid $1,000 deposit by check, and put a stop payment on the check, and he never received any money from plaintiff.    However, JJ has proof that the check was cashed already.         The check was cased by defendant for $1,000, and there were supplies that plaintiff tried to return, and other supplies were dumped by defendant on plaintiff’s property.   Plaintiff had pay to get ruined materials hauled away.

(In the hall-terview the plaintiff says the defendant wasn't in the hospital, but was arrested, and in jail). 

$1,000 to plaintiff.   

Second (2016)-

French Bulldog Breeding Battle-Plaintiff Heather Suttle suing defendant Dino Gugliuzza over a French Bulldog breeding.  Plaintiff (stud owner) was supposed to get pick of litter, between the two puppies from defendant's female.  This is the one where plaintiff keeps whining about DNA tests on the dog, but seems to have no basis in reality.    Plaintiff picked up her puppy six weeks after birth (Way too early, anything before 8 weeks is wrong).    

Plaintiff was selling the female puppy to the buyer, Bradley, and they were going to breed the dogs.   Puppy was $15,000 and pick of litter from her first litter, to plaintiff.   She was going to mentor the buyer in how to breed and sell the puppies.   

 DNA lab sent results, and plaintiff decided something was wrong, this is not in the contract.    The DNA part of contract is only to prove parentage, not for whatever reason the plaintiff is alleging.   

Defendant wanted the first puppy back, and he brought another puppy to the plaintiff's home.   Plaintiff claims defendant took both puppies, and claims the DNA didn't show what she wanted, which was coloring of the dog, not parentage (this is wrong).     The plaintiff took the other puppy, and sold the second puppy for $10k.    Plaintiff says contract says man can't sell his puppies with future breeding rights to them.    Contract says pick of litter, and parentage DNA.   

Then plaintiff wanted some other DNA test.         Apparently, she's whining about color DNA.    I’ve heard of genetic testing, and DNA breed tests, but not color DNA tests.  The coloration DNA test predicts the possible coloration of future offspring.  

Everything dismissed.

DUI Meets the Company Credit Card-Plaintiff Barry Cole suing defendant/former employee Jonathan Reimer for bailing himself out of jail for DUI with a company credit card.    The job is working on police radar.    Defendant went to work, was busted for DUI, plead guilty for a lesser charge to avoid license suspension.    The defendant looks kind of drunk in court too.   

Defendant says bail bondsman had to get authorization from the plaintiff to use the credit card, and claims that happened, but plaintiff says he's lying.    $2245 was the total bail, plus fees, and plaintiff received none of this back from the bondsman.   Defendant has a counter claim, and claims he wasn't paid for two days he worked after he quit.   

However, a couple of days ago the bondsman refunded $1,950, leaving $295 for plaintiff.

Jewelry Thieves Caught on Tape -Plaintiff Steve Ensor suing defendants Jobe Allen and Robert Baker for stealing a ring from him, and selling the ring.      Plaintiff claims he found a ring missing, and one of the defendants, Robert, was seen going into a pawn shop, selling the ring, and his co-defendant Jobe throws Robert under the bus, and runs over him a few times.    

The three litigants were drinking at plaintiff’s home, Robert saw Jobe rifling through plaintiff’s jewelry box.   The next morning Robert woke up on the beach, and the gold ring was on the sand next to him.   Then, a few days later, Jobe says he saw Robert going into a pawn shop, and saw Robert selling the ring.  

The ring is a custom made ring that was made specifically for plaintiff.  

It’s not a pawn shop, but a gold-buying shop.   So, plaintiff submits the video of the two defendants entering the store, and Robert selling the ring.   Since it’s a gold-buying shop, the ring was immediately melted down, so plaintiff had to have another ring made.

$1,000 to plaintiff

Brutus the Service Dog -Plaintiff Gloria Rizzo suing defendant Brandon and Tiffany Halley over custody of a service dog.     Plaintiff divorced, but later moved back in with her ex-husband, but there was no room for the dog.   So, plaintiff wanted defendants to foster her dog, until she could move out.   Plaintiff’s witness is her ex-husband, and says that the landlord told plaintiffs to get the dog out, because they didn’t get permission before moving the dog in.   Plaintiff still lives with her ex-husband Mr. Bevins,  at the same apartment.   

Plaintiff wanted the dog fostered until she moves out, but she still lives with the ex.   Defendants’ witness is wife’s sister Kimberly Grant, who set up the adoption or foster of the dog for the plaintiff, with the defendants.   Ms. Grant says plaintiff contacted her, wanted the dog adopted, and defendants wanted a German Shepherd to breed with their female.

My question is Service Dog, or Emotional Support Animal?  If the dog was a Service Dog, the landlord would almost have to have the dog live there.    So, I’m guessing another untrained, unneutered service dog, that’s just called that. 

JJ is very unhappy about an unneutered Service Dog.   Plaintiff has a ridiculous reason for dog not being neutered.     Dog has an undescended testicle, so plaintiff was waiting to neuter. 

Plaintiff claims dog is a service animal, and she has vertigo, and dog helps her drive. (No, that last sentence makes zero sense to me).  

Plaintiff hasn’t had the dog for a year.  Dog hasn’t had dog for over a year, with about three weeks with plaintiff, after three months with plaintiff’s friend.       In the hall-terview plaintiff claims dog was only to live with defendants for a month, but they stole her dog.

Defendants keep the dog.

Second (2013)-

Road Rage -Plaintiff Jodi Blakeney suing defendant Stephen McKisson for falsely accusing her of throwing an object at defendant’s car.     Plaintiff was driving, and says defendant threw something at her car.   Then, plaintiff was charged with throwing something at defendant’s car several weeks before.  Plaintiff’s license was suspended until the court hearing, and then charges were dropped, and license restored.   

Defendant is out of control.   He also brought Mommy to court with him.   JJ asks defendant if he’s high.   Defendant’s statement says charges against plaintiff were dropped, and defendant paid $700 to plaintiff to get the case against him dropped.    Defendant claims plaintiff either hit his car with her car, or an object, and fled the scene.   Defendant has a 911 tape, but no police report.   

Plaintiff was going to work, from Annapolis to Hanover, MD, when she saw defendant following her, then she moved to the right lane, and a rock or something heavy hit her car, thrown from defendant’s car, and there is a picture of defendant flipping her the bird, and at the wheel.   Photo also has defendant’s license plate number. 

 The certificate of dismissal from the Maryland court for plaintiff’s case is submitted.  

Defendant doesn’t have the dismissal certificate for his case.

Officer Byrd is standing between the litigants, since defendant can’t control himself.  Defendant keeps back talking JJ, and I really wish Officer Byrd had tased him.

JJ gives plaintiff $3,000.   No surprise that defendant is out of control in the hall-terview too.

Ex-Lovers’ Car Fight -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Patricia Dionne suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Adam Myrand for selling return of payments she made on a car, and defendant sold her car without her permission.  Loan was in defendant’s name.  Plaintiff stopped paying so defendant has the car now, and defendant wants his name off of the car.

Defendant’s story is he bought the car, and plaintiff was leasing it from him.   Plaintiff can’t get another car because she has terrible credit, and her father won’t help her either.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2017)-

Zip Line Rip Off-Plaintiffs /vacation cabin owners Stuart and Barbara Strother suing defendant/vacation cabin renter Claudia Airola who didn’t pay.    Plaintiffs own five or six cabins in Redwood, CA. and all are investment rentals.   $860, $30 pet fee, damage protection, cleaning fee, and $200 security deposit for the cabin for four nights, totaling $1042. 

Defendant refuses to pay because the zipline attraction (separately owned from cabin) that was on a list of amusement in the brochure was closed.   Defendant's children couldn't go ziplining, so they "had nothing to do", and so they left early ("children" are two adult daughters, plus 15-year-old twins).   They were supposed to stay four full days, and only stayed two, disputed the charges with their bank/credit card company, and it was all refunded, $1042.  Trip was in August, so the skiing mentioned in the brochure wasn't available either, as well as snow shoeing, or anything else winter related.     It would only be partially the cabin owner's issue to notify the renter, if they knew exactly why the vacationers were renting for only one activity.  

What an entitled brat the defendant is, and her four children too.     You can't tell me there is nothing to do at the cabin for four days.    They also stayed two days, and the morning of the third, so even if they had a refund it should have only been for less than half of the rental, plus the other fees added in.  

I can’t stand the defendant, or her spoiled kids.      How much time would they have spent ziplining anyway out of four days?   

$842 for plaintiff.  (I would have given them $1042).

Teen Purchase Pickle-Plaintiff Victoria Martinez purchased a car for $3,000 from defendant Jasmine Perez, plaintiff has a bill of sale (2007 Saturn), and was unable to register the car because it wouldn't smog.   However, she had the car for two weeks before going to the mechanics.   Plaintiff assumed that the car had passed smog before, and she was wrong, because car hadn't been registered in California before.   

Plaintiff claims the part to pass smog is permanently out of stock (they stopped making Saturns years ago), so the car can never pass smog.   Car is registered in Guam.    Defendant says plaintiff was in a hurry, so refused to wait on car deal.    There must be some way to get that part, maybe from a junkyard, or other parts source.  

Plaintiff just parked the car, and can't get it smog tested because it's in defendant's name, I hope defendant's plates aren't still on it.   Plaintiff should have taken it to a mechanic before purchase, since it was 'as is'.   However, plaintiff refused to wait, so she's stuck.   

Plaintiff obviously drove the car before she went to the mechanic, and I don't believe that car has been parked since the car sale.   There must be a source somewhere for the part that plaintiff needs. 

Case dismissed.  

Second (2016)-

Seizures, Shopping and Smashing-Plaintiff Juanita Johnson suing defendant/ex-boyfriend, Andre Smith Jr..  who she threw out when she found out his wife was having twins.   Plaintiff is suing because he wrecked her car, apparently has a history of seizures, and claims he had one when he totaled the car.   Plaintiff also wants unpaid utility bills.   

Accident report from Memphis P.D. is submitted.   Defendant says plaintiff came home from store, they started arguing about the wife's pregnancy, and plaintiff told him to leave.   Defendant threw his clothes in her car, and left, missed his exit, claims another car cut him off, and he hit the roadside barricade, spinning out, and hit a tree (2012 Jeep Compass, $13,000 paid off purchase price).   Car only had liability insurance.    Jeep was bought with plaintiff's inheritance.   

Plaintiff claims boyfriend was mad she was gone too long, they argued, and her car was gone.   Then the accident occurred, and plaintiff denies man drove her car before, and says man has seizures, and wasn't supposed to be driving.    Plaintiff claims his license is suspended.     There is no way in hell this man wasn't driving her car a lot.   

Though man is married, with children, he is a day worker, but claims to make $8,000 a week.    Insurance said her car is totaled, and refused to pay because it was only liability, and being driven by an uninsured driver.    There is no documentation from the insurance company stating they won’t pay for the car being totaled.   Car was a 2012 Jeep Compass, worth $13350.

$5000 to plaintiff.  

Jilted Jail Bride-Plaintiff LaQuanza Miller suing defendant/wedding officiant Tonia Perez because for not showing up to perform her wedding.  Plaintiff is a SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Three, two with her now husband).   Plaintiff wanted to marry her incarcerated boyfriend while he was in jail awaiting trial (it was attempted murder, and he was convicted), and she wanted to marry him in jail.   He's the father of two of her young children, and she has another kid too.  Defendant regularly does jail weddings (over 100 times).    Defendant told the plaintiff they had to exactly follow the jail rules for visits, visitors list, time of arrival, and visitor's hours, and even though plaintiff screwed this up, she wants a refund.   Notary was paid $500, and after the plaintiff received $200.   

 Plaintiff was supposed to put defendant on the visitor's list, meet her at Noon, for a 1 p.m. visit.    Plaintiff didn't put defendant on the visitor's list, so the wedding never happened.     As JJ points out plaintiff had to add defendant to the list, and didn't.      Plaintiff claims it was defendant's job to fix the visitor's list, and it isn't.    Defendant also officiated a wedding for someone else that day at the same jail, apparently that bride followed the rules.  Defendant told plaintiff how to fix the ceremony and visit, and plaintiff is still pissed.   

Case dismissed.

If the dog was a Service Dog, the landlord would almost have to have the dog live there.    So, I’m guessing another untrained, unneutered service dog, that’s just called that. 

There is a lot of abuse of the "service dog" claim, but anybody can go online and get a "service dog vest" it is hard to tell. Most states clearly define what is a service dog based on training, seeing eye dogs have a long history of training. I have seen multiple "service dogs" who were untrained lap dogs who were uncontrolled and aggresive but it is hard legally to challoenge their owners.

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, and that’s fraud.  Defendant claims she never agreed to repay for the car, but for apartment rental, almost $1500, from when they lived together.

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

$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.  So, after the hanging incident, the plaintiffs still watched the child?    However, husband says it wasn’t during babysitting time.  

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Second (2012)-

Underground Party -Plaintiff /landlord Wendy Piscitello suing defendants Megan Krug and Sebastiano Spurio for $3,000 to repair the basement they turned into an underage nightclub.  Plaintiff owns a two-flat, with a big basement.   The top flat was rented to defendants month-to-month.    Plaintiff claims the tattoo-shop that rents the commercial space, texted her that defendants were using plaintiff’s basement as an underage nightclub.   Defendants were evicted, legally.   Defendant claims she paid up the rent, and was evicted anyway.

On Facebook the ad for the party invited over 3,500 kids to the basement parties.   Basement wasn’t part of the lease, and the defendant Sebastian says they had permission from plaintiff.   Plaintiff says the defendants painted the basement wall neon.   Defendant Sebastian claims they had permission, had a bouncer checking I.D.s at the door.   There are two fools who are defendants.

JJ looks at the basement pictures.   Basement was painted in neon, and their apartment was the drinking spot.   This all happened in Buffalo, NY.  Defendant witness stayed at the defendants’ apartment two or three times a week, so he was an illegal tenant.   The other defendant witness also lived there frequently, and also wasn’t on the lease.  

$3,000 to plaintiff for the damages. 

Underground Party On! -Plaintiff Wendy Piscitello/landlord (also plaintiff in previous case) is suing defendant Corey Setzer (the DJ from the nightclub case) for a bounced check.   Defendant Cory gave plaintiff a bad check for his rent, and previous case defendants' rent,  that bounced.    Defendant witness stayed at the defendants’ (in the previous case) apartment two or three times a week, so he was an illegal tenant.    Defendant says he wanted to lease the other apartment, the check was also to pay the unpaid rent from defendants in the first case.

Defendant says plaintiff was holding his DJ equipment hostage.   Plaintiff says apartment one was the bar, apartment 2 was the crash pad, and the basement was the nightclub.     

Defendant had his equipment in the illegal basement nightclub.

$2950 to plaintiff to cover the bad check.

Puppy Problems -Plaintiff Lightning Radmussen (no, I’m not kidding about her name) suing defendant/dog breeder Jennifer Jackson over pick of litter puppy, a Yorkie, from defendant’s dog’s litter.     There was only one puppy in the litter, so defendant kept the puppy.   This case is bizarre, even for this show.    It boils down to a difference of $25 between the two litigants.  

Plaintiff wants to sell the pick of the litter, and is suing for $500.    Defendant wants to keep the puppy.  Plaintiff says her dog is registered with the city, mistaking that for AKC Registration.    Plaintiff claims she offered to split the price with defendant when she was going to sell puppy for $350 to a friend.   Plaintiff wants $500, instead of $350, split two ways $150, but plaintiff wanted $175, and is now suing for $500.

Plaintiff gets $150, and no further contact between the two women.

Judge Judy's Message to Congress-   Plaintiff /daughter Amber Evans suing defendants/her parents Jacalyn Whittemore and Allan Evans for opening a utility account using daughter's social security #, and name, and this ruined her credit.      This account was opened four years ago.   Plaintiff has been on her own disability since 18, the account happened when she was 20, and she's now 22.   

The account was opened by plaintiff in plaintiff's name, when she found out it was up to $1800, and she shut it down (parents have delinquent debts), and the mother reopened it a year later.   Father was ticked at Mommy, and he wrote a letter to daughter telling her the account was reopened.   

The daughter lived on her own, not in the parent's home.    (Considering what the defendant mother's hair looks like, I might have some sympathy if she stole the money for hair repair services, or a decent dye job),   

Counterclaim by defendant father he was incarcerated for violating a protective order with the mother, and was also receiving SS disability (a big no-no, and he thinks no one pays for his SS, and for prison costs).     Father says daughter was his payee for Social Security, and she kept his money.    As JJ points out, the man could do some job on the outside, the way he wanted to in prison.     Defendant so-called mother claims daughter borrowed $500, from an inheritance, and never paid her back.   Daughter says mother gave her $20, and didn't loan her $500.   (Defendant father was jailed for violating the protective order that defendant mother had against him). 

 JJ takes this opportunity to tell Congress that this should be corrected, and being incarcerated should stop welfare, and Social Security, etc., which actually is currently enforced, I hope.    JJ gets a huge round of applause from the audience.    

(I was naughty and looked online, mother is no angel herself, and had a lot of mug shots online, including one wearing an “Oh Deer, in sequins, with antlers on the “O” after an arrest for shoplifting $1,000 worth of merchandise).    I hope the daughter ran her credit reports, and found out how many other accounts the parents opened in her name. 

I hope the plaintiff has landed in a safe place, she’s living with her witness, her boyfriend’s mother.

Daughter gets $1235 for the utility payment.    Ridiculous counter claims from parents are dismissed. 

Homeless or Helpless-Plaintiff Jason Benson suing defendant/former friend and landlord, Gerald Jones for stolen money, and destruction of property.   Defendant owns a few rental properties, and he let plaintiff store stuff in the apartment, but wasn't supposed to be living there, until defendant's contractor started to remodel it.    At that time the plaintiff was supposed to move his stuff out.  Plaintiff said he couldn't leave, because defendant didn't help him move his stuff out. 

Defendant finally put everything out in the backyard carport, and plaintiff stayed there for over three months, he says he slept on the floor.  Like all of the professional squatters, plaintiff was trying to sue for unlawful detainer, so wasn't paying any rent.    Defendant case dismissed. 

Defendant gets $750 for unpaid rent.   

Second (2016)-

Don't Keep on Trucking-Plaintiff Mustafa Al Shammari suing defendant/former partner Alton Staton for unpaid loans.    Defendant claims harassment.   Plaintiff can't decide if defendant was his partner, or an independent contractor.    Plaintiff says he loaned $3600 to defendant, as a part of their trucking business.   

First truck was in defendant's name, because plaintiff didn't have a CDL license, and couldn't register it in his name.    Defendant says he quit the company, and then plaintiff cashed the $3600 check.    A truck was damaged, and plaintiff wanted defendant to pay the deductible.     Then plaintiff deposited the undated check.     Defendant put a stop payment of the check.

Case dismissed, because plaintiff is full of ca-ca.  

Consignment Chaos-Plaintiff Bradley Racutt suing defendant Clinton Elston for storage of consignment items.   Plaintiff owns an auction house, and he sent a certified letter to defendant, saying to pick up storage tubs or they'll be considered abandoned.   Plaintiff was supposed to pay $570 to defendant a month earlier, and then they had the dust up over the storage tubs.   Defendant collected $570.   

Defendant has three days to pick up his property with an escort, and if not picked up the items will be trashed or sold by plaintiff.   No money changes hands, defendant just gets his property back.

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 babysitting 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.  I’m surprised the defendant survived the accident.

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.  

Second (2013)-

A Bloody Bad Time -Plaintiff LaTasha Cubero suing defendant Warren McGee for breaking into her house, and destroying her belongings.   Plaintiff and her witness, Michelle Beck,  were at a club, witness broke up with her boyfriend, the defendant.  Then, when plaintiff was driving her witness home, and they fought physically, and plaintiff left her witness, Michelle Beck, standing by the side of the road, and defendant picked her up.   Then, after defendant took Michelle home, and then went out, and plaintiff and her witness say defendant smashed the house windows, and trashed the home.  

 When plaintiff got home, she discovered her house had been broken into, and vandalized.    Plaintiff accuses defendant of the break in.   Defendant said he never had the injury plaintiff witness describes, but it’s an old football injury.   Plaintiff witness said she went to Kaiser hospital.   Defendant agrees to a DNA test against the blood at the scene of the break in.  

ER records say he cut arm with glass three days before.

JJ says defendant was angry with plaintiff for beating his girlfriend up, and dumping her by the side of the road.   So, he broke in and trashed plaintiff’s house.  JJ points out if the DNA from defendant matches the sample the police have, he’ll be prosecuted.    Plaintiff witness didn’t tell plaintiff about what defendant did, for a couple of months.

Plaintiff doesn’t have any proof what her landlord will charge her for damages to the rental property. 

Plaintiff receives $1500.

Puppy Love -Plaintiff Brandon Fennell suing defendant Janeen Morgan over custody of a dog, an Alaskan Husky, and unpaid utilities.   Defendant wants the vet bills paid.       The two litigants lived together, and made the mistake of buying a puppy together (it was a mistake for the puppy).

(Sorry, but that Husky looks like at least half German Shepherd).

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Trust the Judge, Get a Lawyer   -Plaintiff / landlord Donald Watson is suing defendants/former tenants Ray and Becky Smith for stolen property, unpaid rent, and damages.    Defendants rented an apartment above a pizzeria, after a job loss they stopped paying rent, (landlord says $2200, def. say $4,000).   Defendants say that new owner of building was going to cover their back rent, about $800.   

JJ tells plaintiff to get a lawyer, for the building transfer with his witness (buying the apartment and pizza shop).   (Sadly, plaintiff seems very confused, and lives alone after his wife died, and he really needs a lawyer).  Pizzeria closed after water damage, and after the plaintiff's son, the manager of the pizzeria, collapsed and died.     

The damage to the apartment was caused by defendant's ferrets, including rug damages.    JJ declines to see pictures of the ferrets from the defendant.    As usual, tenants claim plaintiff harassed them, and I guess that's what she calls asking for your rent.      Plaintiff is very confused about unpaid rent total, and fortunately the potential buyer, Brandon Hettle, is in court to help the plaintiff.   I really hope the plaintiff found an attorney for the apartment building sale, because otherwise, he'll get ripped off.  Plaintiff’s other adult son is in court to help him too. 

Defendants were $4200 behind on rent, and plaintiff gets that. 

Pigs Don't Live in Houses   -Plaintiff/landlord Marco Zepeda suing defendant/former tenant Sonya Kimbell for damages to his rental home, and unpaid rent.   Defendant says it wasn't damage, but normal wear and tear.   Defendant also stayed an extra week, so she owes for the month, $1200.    There was no walk through with tenant, since she moved out suddenly, and plaintiff submits pictures of damages.   

Pictures show tons of leftover items in room, and defendant claims someone else did that after she moved out, and says it's not that bad.  There is a lot of damage, including doors off of the hinges, large holes in walls, and just plain filth.    There was an $1100 security deposit, covering the unpaid rent.  House is filthy, holes in doors and walls, etc.     This is one of the few times the landlord won.  (The funny thing is plaintiff says she lived there for years longer than defendant says she did).

$5,000 to plaintiff.

My Brother Did It! -Plaintiff/sister Shantavia Ford suing defendant Kenneth McVay her brother, for taking her car without permission, and damaging the car.     

Defendant says his car was at his mother’s house, and he wanted to take his niece out to eat, and go shopping, and he claims plaintiff said so.   Niece was at grandma’s for the summer.  

Defendant used his mother’s phone to text plaintiff and ask to borrow the car, but he didn’t say that it was him, not his mother who wanted to borrow the car. 

Defendant took child to eat, then to buy shoes, and then went to his baby mama’s house.   Defendant says his baby mama hopped in the car, backed up and smashed a mailbox, and that’s how the damages happened.   

$ to plaintiff, for car damages. 

Suits, Safety and Flipping Cars! -Plaintiff Miranda Ragni suing defendant Benjamin Ciancaglione over a car flipping business, and apartment improvement costs.   They moved into the same apartment, and plaintiff still lives there, defendant moved out.   

They both agreed to pay halfsies to fix up the apartment.   Then they argued, and plaintiff’s mother came up to stop the argument, and told defendant to move out.    The apartment is in the same building as the plaintiff’s mother’s home.    Apartment improvement dismissed.   

They flipped several cars, and plaintiff made $0, and defendant made $500.  

Plaintiff claims she loaned defendant money for suits for work.   Plaintiff claims defendant took advantage of her mental illness to get her to open charge accounts, and spend money on him. Dismissed.

Engagement Ring Custody -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend  Julia Jones suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Steven Caschera over an engagement ring, satellite TV disconnection fee, and a false restraining order.  Defendant applied for and received a restraining order after despicable threats from plaintiff.   They never lived together, but went halfsies on a Dish satellite TV service, at his house.   After they broke up plaintiff wanted the Dish and equipment back to turn it in, even though she never paid anything for the Dish service.   Plaintiff actually sent the Dish people over to defendant’s house to take the equipment back, and defendant told them to leave, and he put the service only in his name.   Plaintiff wants an engagement ring back too.  Plaintiff wants her Robert Plant concert poster back, among other gifts plaintiff gave defendant, or defendant purchases.   Property claims dismissed.

Plaintiff claims the restraining order was issued after she sent the Dish people to defendant’s house.  Defendant says he received the restraining order protecting him, and his house, and place of business, after plaintiff sent over 200 nasty texts to defendant.    

No property goes back to plaintiff, false restraining order claim is denied, and engagement ring stays with defendant.  False restraining order claim dismissed.   Dish disconnect fee is denied. 

Plaintiff is alleged to order a bunch of stuff online using defendant’s credit card.   Unfortunately, defendant can’t prove who sent the 30 magazines. 

Everything dismissed.

Accusations of Murder -Plaintiff Noah Borntrager claims former friend/defendant Rebecca Graham was driving his truck, then it was vandalized, and plaintiff wants money for the damages.  Plaintiff loaned the truck to defendant, if she put insurance on it, and renewed the registration.      Defendant was engaged to a man who died.     Plaintiff also claims the defendant claims plaintiff murdered the late fiance.

Defendant claims some other man bashed in the side of the truck, and damaged it.    After driving the truck for a few months, truck broke down, and someone vandalized it.   Plaintiff wants to fix the truck, and defendant to pay for it.    Truck can be driven, but photos of damages are back.   Defendant says her late fiance’s ex-wife vandalized the truck, and blames defendant for the fiance’s death, and defendant claims the ex-wife says defendant murdered the man.

1999 Silverado is worth $2925, and plaintiff gets that.

Second (2013)-

Handicapped and Handcuffed -Plaintiffs Jeffrey and Christine Collins are suing defendants Lan Pham (wife) and Hoang Tran (husband) for being neighborhood nuisances, plus harassment, cost of surveillance equipment they put in because of defendants’ constant parties, and vandalism.  

The defendant woman who requires a wheelchair, denies she’s a retaliatory nuisance, but after police were called, she’s shown on video being arrested.    Plaintiffs claim defendants were a pain from day one, with their dog (they used to have a Chihuahua, and added the German Shepherd) running loose, loud, constant parties, and harassment of the plaintiffs and other neighbors.  Chihuahua owned by defendant was running loose, and disappeared.   

Plaintiff husband says defendants have at least three weekend long parties in their garage a month, until every early in the morning.    Plaintiffs finally called police about noise, and then their property would get egged, vandalism, and retaliatory actions.   So, plaintiff bought a security system, which fortunately caught the arrest of defendant woman by police.    Barking dog at defendant’s is not a Chihuahua either, it’s a much bigger dog, German Shepherd.      Defendant woman claims she was detained, not arrested, but her friend was arrested.  Defendant woman claims her friend was released without charges.    

(Since this was 2013, I hope defendants moved out of the neighborhood since this.  Unfortunately, the really bad neighbors almost never move).   

Defendant woman lies, and says they would cut back on noise if plaintiffs asked them.   She actually thinks it’s fine if the police come by at least once during every party.   German Shepherd only lives in the garage, and is never inside.    Defendant woman claims a dog that’s never in the house is her therapy dog.  She might mean Emotional Support Dog, but a therapy dog visits places, or provides comfort to others.   Defendant woman claims plaintiffs are harassing her.

Plaintiffs receive $5,000.    Defendant case dismissed.

Don’t Tell People I Have Lupus -Plaintiff Naomi Ruiz suing defendant/roommate Damaris Martinez for unpaid rent and bills.     Defendant, who has Lupus claims that plaintiff/roommate’s gossiping about her medical condition to other roommates is the reason she can no longer live with plaintiff, and the other roommates.  However, defendant just told 10 million people about her medical condition.

Rent was supposed to be split three ways, then defendant stopped paying the rent, and utilities.   Defendant didn’t pay $2560, for four month’s rent. Defendant claims plaintiff would pay the rent for her.

Officer Byrd was paying defendant’s student loan money, and he’s sick of it.   (Notice JJ never pays anyone’s bills, but her own).

Defendant filed for punitive damages, and harassment for telling roommates about her Lupus.

Slander and Cheating-Plaintiff Julianne Morin says defendant/ex John Barnes owes her for a loan for a motorcycle, and legal fees after motorcycle was impounded.   Defendant says he caught plaintiff in bed with someone else, and he moved out.   He says she gave him the motorcycle as a reunion present.   Defendant claims every time plaintiff did something naughty, she tried to buy his love.  

Motorcycle was pulled over for expired plates, and impounded because defendant didn't have a motorcycle endorsement.    There were legal fees involved with the motorcycle impound.  Plaintiff gets $300 legal fees, but not the motorcycle cost (apparently motorcycle is in impound), and defendant doesn't have the pink slip.   Defendant never registered the motorcycle in his name.

The only one who can get the bike out of impound is the plaintiff, so she can sell it.  

Plaintiff had nasty postings on Plenty of Fish, and Facebook,  about defendant, claiming defendant is promiscuous, and has unprotected sex.   Defendant is a personal trainer, and has lost clients because of the postings.     JJ didn't know about Plenty of Fish then (I only know about it from TV court cases).    Plaintiff says she wanted to warn other women about the defendant.    The impound happened months ago, so motorcycle was probably already sold as abandoned.

$300 for legal fees to plaintiff, nothing for defendant. 

The Vanishing Tax Refund-Plaintiff Destiny McCraney suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Gary Dykes for an unpaid loan to fix his car, $1800.   The loan was while they were cohabiting.       

Plaintiff claims man would pay her back when he received his tax refund.  Defendant claims he wasn't expecting a refund, and didn't get one.

Bailiff Caught in the Middle-Plaintiff Christina Asbury. suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Stephen Owens Jr for stealing her property, and setting her clothes on fire.    The two litigants were living on plaintiff’s stepfather's property, in an RV purchased by the defendant, and plaintiff kept it.    Plaintiff also is alleged to be back with her former boyfriend.    Defendant says he tossed the clothes out of the RV.   

Plaintiff's stepfather Kenny Thomas, says he saw defendant burning plaintiff's clothes when she was away with the previous boyfriend.      Plaintiff's witness is a buttinsky, and so is her stepfather.    $500 to plaintiff for her clothes.   

Litigants are told that they will all be ejected if they keep interrupting.     Plaintiff says she doesn't have the RV, and claims defendant sold it.    Defendant says he doesn't know where the RV is, and he didn't sell it.  Is it an RV, or a really big travel trailer?  This all happened in Eureka, CA.

Plaintiff step father says defendant has trailer, but has no proof.  Because plaintiff keeps shouting out, she's not getting $500 for her clothes.   Defendant case dismissed, for lack of proof, and lack of sense.       What is the plaintiff on in the hall-terview?

The adorable Officer Byrd stands between the litigants when they refuse to respect courtroom rules, and I only hope someday he puts a couple of rule breakers in head locks. 

Everything dismissed.  

Boyfriend Beatdown-Plaintiff Brooklyn Furillo claims her defendant/ex-boyfriend Robert Watters broke her laptop, and she was falsely arrested for an assault on the boyfriend.   Plaintiff is suing for the laptop, and the false arrest case. Defendant says plaintiff did hit him in the face, and clawed his face.   

They had lived together for five years, without a police visit before this fight.    The night of the fight, they met at a bar, she went home, and when he arrived home they argued.   Plaintiff hid the computer, and claims defendant threw the computer against the wall.    Plaintiff grabbed defendant's phone, and he got it back in one piece.   Plaintiff will get $1099 for the computer.     

 Plaintiff called police, she told them she hit defendant in the struggle, in the face.  Police report says plaintiff admitted hitting defendant in the eye before the fight started over the computer.      Plaintiff was arrested for domestic assault.    It sounds like they were both drunk.   Nothing in the police report says man attacked first.   

$1099 for computer to plaintiff.

Home Improvement Hijinks-Plaintiff/landlady Letty Cuevas suing defendant/ former tenant Roxanne Trevino for damages, rent, and home improvements to plaintiff’s rental home.   Landlady claims the damages exceed the security deposit.     Defendant had no contract with plaintiff reimbursement for the improvements.  

JJ says the plaintiff’s evidence is faked.    Rent was $1595, one month rent plus security was paid by defendant.    Defendant says rent was $1550.     JJ looks at the contract, after plaintiff submits a writing sample, and the contract items were filled in by plaintiff.     Plaintiff lived there for five months, with one month and security paid in advance.    It was a month-to-month rental.    Plaintiff moved out in January, and defendant claims the rent was prorated for the six days in January.    There is a contract clause that the tenant must give 30-days notice, but didn’t.   So, plaintiff keeps the security deposit.  Plaintiff’s photos of move in and out are not dated.  

Plaintiff prepared the fake contract.    Plaintiff claims she dropped the rent to $1550, from $1595 to give her a break.  Defendant denies that rent was ever $1595.    Defendant claims she carpeted three rooms.

Plaintiff is suing for $961 for damages.    

Plaintiff keeps the $1550 security, and that’s all.

Fostering Fraud? -Plaintiff/foster child Tyshundra Smith (she’s 21 years-old) suing defendant/ former foster mother Natalie Revell for stealing disability checks from her foster child.   Plaintiff applied for Social Security Disability for Asthma.    First check plaintiff received was $2200, and claims defendant kept half of the money for herself.    Plaintiff had already moved out, but defendant had the information from plaintiff’s time in foster care.   Plaintiff is 21, but has a 7-year-old that’s with the child’s grandmother (yes, apparently she was 14 when she had the first child).     JJ is upset because plaintiff says she can’t work because of her Asthma, but claims she supports the children.    Plaintiff has an infant too.  

Defendant also had a life insurance policy on the foster child, with defendant as beneficiary.  Defendant claims the policy is to bury the plaintiff if her COPD takes her out.   (I guess plaintiff and defendant wigs are from the producer’s ugly wig disguise closet.)   

$1100 to plaintiff.

Second (2013)-

Teen Volleyball Madness -Plaintiff Rebecca Jones (mother), is suing defendant/volleyball coach Elaina McLain for making daughter, Libby Jones, cry during a game, for return of league fees, and emotional distress.  After plaintiff mother cursed at coach, coach told mother to leave the gym.    Defendant says daughter was disrespectful, rolled her eyes, had a bad attitude.    (This was in Racine, WI).

Plaintiff mother signed the contract, and only defendant has a copy of the signed contract.  Contract outlines player and parent responsibilities.  

After Libby got mono, mother says coach credited them for the time Libby didn’t play or practice, but coach penalized daughter for not practicing.    When daughter was cleared to play volleyball again, daughter returned to practice.    Daughter Libby testifies, that she didn’t know the new drills, so she couldn’t participate in everything.  Libby and mommy dearest wanted coach to teach Libby the drill separately.   

 Then, the argument between plaintiff mother, and coach happened, when the cursing by plaintiff occurred, and coach ousted plaintiff mother.   Why should the coach do individual coaching?  Plaintiff mother says contract says coaching will be equal for all players.  

Contract says no parent/coach discussions will happen in front of players, and there were players there when cursing, and argument happened.   Plaintiff mothers says coach was yelling at her the Libby isn’t the best player on the team, and is actually second from worse, and that the other players on her team don’t like Libby (I don’t either, I’ve run into Libby’s my whole life, and they’re insufferable).   After the swearing by plaintiff mother, coach told her and her daughter to leave, and said she’s off the team. 

Apparently, Libby isn’t great at volleyball, but is world championship caliber at ‘eye rolling’.

Coach says during drills she has to be right there, and can’t step aside for individual coaching.  Assistant Coach Anni Prideaux testifies about the plaintiff mother’s behavior, and the argument.  Witness says plaintiff mother referred to coach as “that bitch”.   

Coach says Libby and mother wanted another player that Libby goes to school with (Sophie), to be kept away from Libby.    Libby doesn’t want to be paired up with Sophie.  Mother also claims coach picked on her daughter.  (If you don’t want to associate with someone else on the team, then you quit the team). 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Charity Singer Gets Shafted-Plaintiffs Brent Payne(singer) and (sound technician) Paul Pierce are suing defendant/concert promoter Rob Almanza for a fee for singing at his charity benefit concert (Lone Rider Charity).   Defendant finally gives them a check, but it bounces.  Another wrinkle is the plaintiff singer is related to defendant by marriage.   The charity benefit raises money for challenge coins he gives to first responders, and veterans.   

This was the first concert put on by the defendant.    Concert tickets were $20, and a cash bar, only 55 people came to the event.  It cost the plaintiffs $900 for staging, lighting and sound.   The normal fee for the plaintiffs, for 350 people (event capacity) is $3,000, split between six band members.     Plaintiffs told defendant the cost for their performance, $1500.     The entire concert performance had been booked, and planned for months.   

$2400 to plaintiffs for their performance.  (I would have given them the $2982 they requested).

Handyman Drama-Plaintiff Janelle Saenz  suing defendant/handyman Christopher Perez for his shoddy work painting her condo.   Plaintiff says defendant did a bad job, didn't finish the job, and claims she was scammed. Defendant was paid $3600 for the job.  The defendant claims he actually came back and patched and painted areas again. 

The plaintiff's father actually circled areas he was unhappy with using some kind of pencil or pen, and it would be hard to cover that up.   The plaintiff has interrupted the defendant, and JJ multiple times, and I wish her case would be dismissed for her rudeness.   Plaintiff's father repainted.    Plaintiff paid $450 for the touch ups.       

Plaintiff gets $450, and that's it. 

Second (2016)-

Semi-Automatic Street Fight-Plaintiff/cousin William Moss suing defendant/cousin Bobby Brown for vandalizing his car when defendant came to plaintiff's home looking for a fight (JJ can't understand the plaintiff's lingo, and neither can I).  Plaintiff did some jail time for this incident.   The defendant was upset about plaintiff dating his girlfriend's best friend, and said plaintiff is shady.   The two men, and defendant's girlfriend started fighting.   

Plaintiff's jail sentence was a plea deal, and he says he was blamed for defendant's friend pulling out a Tech-9 machine gun (actually a Tech-9 and ammo were found in the plaintiff's car trunk).  Plaintiff got out of jail after four months of an eight-month sentence.    

 Plaintiff claims ammunition was put in his car trunk by defendant's friends, and since he's a convicted felon (7-8 assault felonies), he was charged with felon in possession.   Defendant claims plaintiff was swinging a pipe at him, and broke his own car window.    Defendant claims the people who plaintiff says attacked plaintiff, were actually the plaintiff's friends.    

Everything dismissed.

First (2014)-

Stranger Danger -Plaintiff/former tenant Jeanette Prianio suing defendant/landlord Ann Harmony for lockout charges, return of all of her rent, and an assault. It’s a single family house, with one or two tenants, sometime no tenants.   Plaintiff says a co-worker told her about the available room.   Rent was $700, first and last month ($1400), and month-to-month.   Only landlord signed the lease, so it’s not a signed contract.      

Plaintiff had a 40-hour-a-week job, and a full time student, and her peace and quiet was important.   Plaintiff claims house was too noisy to sleep in peacefully, claims house was filthy.    The first few days, plaintiff claims that she couldn’t sleep in defendant’s house, so she went back to her old place, and slept on the floor to get decent sleep.  Contract says first and last ($1400) was non-refundable, but it wasn’t signed.  

Plaintiff will get $1300 of her first and last month $1400 back, and pays defendant $100 for the few days her stuff was there.   JJ tells defendant to find another tenant.

Defendant claims plaintiff assaulted her, and called the police on her.    There are no medical records to support anything, or police report.

$1300 to plaintiff, nothing to defendant.

Neighbors and Dog Drama -Plaintiff Koren Lopez suing defendant Alvin Darrow Jr over damage to the fence by his dogs (American Bulldogs).   Defendant says his dogs, and plaintiff’s Pit Bull fence fight a lot, and can stick their heads through the fence.   Plaintiff says defendant’s dogs are always outside, and have destroyed the fence.   Plaintiff manages to get the fact defendant did prison time into her testimony.

Plaintiff claims the missing slats are eight holes in seven panels/sections of the fence.  Plaintiff wants the entire side of the fence replace.    She gets $200 to fix the fence.    Plaintiff claims defendant tried to run her over in her front yard, and there is a police report about that.  

Defendant objects to plaintiff having surveillance cameras on her property.  One side of the fence between the two litigants is either his, hers, or joint, both claim to have a survey, but no one brought it to court (I guess they thought they were going to the beach today).  After plaintiff called police on defendant, defendant ripped the solar lights down on ‘his’ fence.   JJ says someone should move, and I agree.   

Plaintiff gets $200 for the fence repair.   Defendant’s claim dismissed.

Second (2013)-

Maltese Attack- Plaintiff/dog bite victim Jeneth Rundle, is suing defendant/dog owner Sabrina Fisher over a Maltese attack on plaintiff by defendant’s dog.   Plaintiff wants medical bills, and her pants replaced.   Plaintiff says the two dogs were on leashes, but the leashes were trailing behind the dogs on the ground, and not held by defendant.   Defendant was walking her dog, and her mother’s two dogs.

Plaintiff says after the bite the defendant grabbed her dog and was saying “What will happen to my dog?”.     Dog that bit the plaintiff was defendant’s dog, the other two dogs belong to the defendant’s mother. 

Defendant was letting the three dogs wander the beach with the leashes dragging behind them.    Plaintiff says there were several people, including the mother, Leslie Gowen, with the defendant.   Defendant mother denies say anything about the dog biting, and just like her defendant daughter tries to minimize the plaintiff’s injuries.    Plaintiff shows a photo of her leg, and it’s a lot more than what defendant mother calls ‘not even a nick’.    

At the site of the animal bite, defendant denied knowing if her dog was up to date on rabies. Animal control took two weeks to get a report to plaintiff saying the dogs’ shots were up to date, after the dog was quarantined.   Dogs didn’t have a license, and it was almost three weeks later that defendant got proof of rabies.   

How disgusting that defendant waited three weeks to get proof of rabies vaccination to the plaintiff via Animal Control.    When plaintiff asked defendant if she had rabies vaccination records, defendant says she didn’t have the records. 

JJ asks if the beach is supposed to have dogs on it.   There is a city ordinance that from 9:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. there are not supposed to be dogs on the beach, so defendants were breaking the rules.   Plaintiff has a photo of the dog ordnance sign.    Leashed dogs only from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m.

Plaintiff receives $1,500.

Mother-in-Law Thief?  -Plaintiff Cassie Hochhalter suing defendant/mother-in-law Marie Hochhalter for $4,000 for a car repo'd by her MIL, and plaintiff claims she paid every penny to MIL.   Plaintiff claims the MIL stole the car.  MIL was on the car title, and plaintiff claims she paid MIL for the car, and car was repo'd by MIL, and then rolled and totaled by plaintiff's husband, son of defendant.  

Plaintiff and husband are reconciling, and not divorcing.   JJ can't give the car back to plaintiff, because husband of plaintiff /son of defendant totaled it, and it was junked.   Husband was alleged to be drunk when he wrecked the car.   

Defendant wants money she put into the car, and that’s dismissed. As JJ says, plaintiff is suing the wrong person and should be suing her husband.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Sick Cat Travel Alert-Plaintiff Blair Buder wanted a specific kind of female cat (Devon Cat) from the defendant/cat breeder Rebecca Ansari, for vet bills, fraud, and a refund of the cat price.    Defendant says plaintiff wanted the male cat at first, then said she wanted the female cat, but it was sick so it couldn't be sold.   Plaintiff flew from California to Minnesota, there were two females, and one male in the litter.     Defendant says the cat had a cold, and she never offered the female cat for sale.   Defendant was not offering the other female for sale, because she kept her for breeding.    (this happened in Minnesota).

The plaintiff's witness is holding the cat.   Devon Rex is the breed.  Picture of cat is of the male, and text says it's the boy cat.   That she's buying the male is clearly stated by the defendant's text to the plaintiff, and plaintiff's response.   

When she arrived, the plaintiff demanded the sick female, and now wants to be paid for the medical care.   

Plaintiff is given choice of keeping cat, or giving the cat back, and getting a refund.    Plaintiff keeps the cat, and gets nothing else.  Plaintiff does get the registration papers for the cat.

96 Year-Old Wants What She Wants-Plaintiff Richard Perricone is suing his mother's granddaughter/defendant Nicole Bradshaw for not providing for his 96-year-old mother in assisted living, and for stealing his mother’s money.   For a time, the granddaughter was responsible for grandmother's care.    Plaintiff claims defendant stole money from grandmother, before she went in a care home. 

 Plaintiff took mother out of the NC assisted living.  Plaintiff didn't visit while his mother while she was in NC, including for her 95th birthday.   Plaintiff has a disabled daughter who lives with him, and his wife, but he still never visited the mother.  

Plaintiff says defendant wouldn't provide the grandmother's beloved Club Crackers (grandmother wants exactly 19 with each meal), and other items grandmother wanted.   Granddaughter says she bought what the grandmother wanted, and grandmother would then deny granddaughter bought the items that were right next to her.    Grandmother is now in a care home within driving distance from plaintiff/son.  Plaintiff claims he visits his mother three times a week. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  (Audience applauds)

Second (2016)-

Uber Affair-Plaintiff Patrick Estrada suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Erin Conroy for unpaid rent, assault and a broken computer.   They met on an adult website several years ago.  Litigants lived together for a while, and then were evicted from the apartment, and they moved in with his parents for a couple of weeks, before she left.   

Defendant left after she told plaintiff that she sold her sexual favors to one of her Uber passengers.   Rent is cancelled, because they reconciled after this rent demand.    After the argument, and his computer was broken, they still reconciled, but that's dismissed too.    Assault and harassment are the counter claim by defendant, and they reconciled again after this.    Defendant claims she told plaintiff she cheated for money was just to get his to leave.

Everything dismissed.  

Wedding Vows and Alcohol-Plaintiff Jesse Aleman Manny Vasquez is suing banquet hall owner, because defendant wouldn't let them drink alcohol outside.    The plaintiff wants rental fee, and $300 security deposit back.     The contract says plaintiff and guests could have alcohol inside the venue, and no alcohol use was allowed outside.        Defendant can't prove the plaintiff and friends were drinking outside, except his own wife's testimony.  Plaintiff now claims that his guests were told to leave early, and that wasn't in the filing. 

(I wouldn’t have given the plaintiff a penny, he broke the contract, and JJ thinks anyone beside the defendant and his wife will testify to that).

 

 $300 in security deposit returned to plaintiff, and that's all.

Busted Windows -Plaintiff Jessica Glover suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ryan Hayes car loan and damaging her home after an argument.    The litigants have one child together, are on-again off-again, sometimes they live together, sometimes separately.   

Plaintiff claims she loaned defendant $2,000 for a car down payment, and claims he smashed the windows at the joint apartment, but this was after he moved out, but he was still on the lease.

Plaintiff claims defendant has a violent temper, and left their joint apartment.   The plaintiff made the loan to defendant, but after he moved out, and they broke up.   Defendant had another girlfriend, but litigants were still boinking.   

Case dismissed. 

Wreck at School  -Plaintiff Nicole Mellon suing defendant Ronisha Erwing for car damages after an accident outside of a school.   Defendant admits she backed up and rammed the plaintiff's car in the school parking lot.   Defendant took her children to school, dropped them off, was illegally backing out of the parking lot (through the driveway entrance to the parking lot).   Plaintiff was coming into the parking lot, and defendant backed into her.    Defendant says it's not her fault. 

I already dislike the defendant talking back and interrupting Judge Judy.    Defendant's mother is her witness.    Plaintiff says because defendant wanted out of the parking lot, and didn't want to wait for the way to the parking lot exit to clear, so defendant backed out the parking lot entrance, and rammed plaintiff's car.     Insurance determined that defendant was at fault and fixed the car.    After the accident report with police, plaintiff went to the ER, and consulted an attorney (bet one that advertises on JJ).  Attorney sent plaintiff to chiropractor for a lot of treatments.     After plaintiff spent a lot on chiropractor and treatments, attorney dropped plaintiff, and she wants her medical bills paid. 

At the start of the case, I really liked the plaintiff, and disliked the defendant, but now I dislike both litigants.    This accident happened in 2011, this case was heard in 2014. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Second (2013)-

Fight Over Troubled Teen’s Rehab -Plaintiffs Bayleigh Anderson, stepmother/current wife is suing defendant/child’s mother Melissa Lund over the $4,000 fees for teen’s rehab camp.    Father Jeffrey Anderson isn’t suing, the stepmother is the driving force in this case, and JJ tells her it’s not her place.  (I couldn’t agree more with JJ about the stepmother’s butting in.   The stepmother is also the person who found the camp, and wanted the boy sent there).   Melissa Lund has four children with her ex, and only two are still minors and at home. 

Jordan Anderson is the teen involved, and fortunately he’s mostly in his mother’s custody.    Plaintiff buttinsky stepmother wants the mother’s half of the camp, $2000 back.  The twist is plaintiff is an insurance agent,

Plaintiff witness is her current husband, Anderson.    Plaintiff witness Anderson and defendant Lund have two children together, and plaintiffs are producing more offspring.   Child was removed from four of eight classes last year for behavior, but child wasn’t tested for more educational or learning disabilities.   The lack of testing is because the father has medical insurance, but won’t sign his son up for his family policy.    The father demands the defendant/mother to put the son on state insurance.     Ex-wife lost her job, and has no insurance.  Defendant mother says father gave her a long list of requirements that she had to fulfill for father to get insurance extended to his children with defendant.   

Plaintiff father wants mother/ex-wife to pay part of his medical premiums, and father refused to pay at all for son’s braces a few years ago.    Plaintiff’s new child will have the plaintiff’s health insurance, but the children plaintiff father dumped have no insurance.   Father’s reason is court didn’t order him to cover the children’s medical and dental bills.   Defendant says the plaintiffs always drag her to court, but don’t have custody, just a little visitation.

Plaintiffs want defendant to get free health insurance for his former children through the state, but plaintiff, wife/stepmother, and their child will have paid health insurance.    This happened in Minnesota.

Stepmother claims that mother/defendant didn’t perform the agreed on protocol to make the son perform better.

So, stepmother can’t get custody and other rules changed in family court, but she drags the defendant to JJ’s court.   I bet the local family court judges are sick of plaintiffs.   Father claims his 90-minute driving distance from where his minor children with defendant live, means it’s too hard on him to see them often.    (Since this case was 2013, then both children are old enough not to be bothered by plaintiffs).

Father claims he knows more about his children than the mother does.   Recent custody case by plaintiffs to change custody and rules, was turned down by the court.   My guess is after new baby arrived, visitation and any interest in the previous wife’s children ended.

Plaintiff case dismissed.   For one thing, stepmother had no standing to bring this case.   Father still doesn’t understand that he should cover his two children with medical insurance.  Father is an IT analyst, and stepmother was an insurance agent.

Case dismissed.

Inside Job-Plaintiff Betty Frazier suing defendants/former roommates Cathy Anderson and Teri Worley  for stealing her property, and making threats.   Plaintiff went out of town for a while, left cash for June's rent in an envelope on the counter.    Defendant says that the house was ransacked, and some men helped the plaintiff take property out.   Litigants were fighting over rent money.   Sadly, all of the litigants seem rather impaired. 

 Defendants say plaintiff had men help her rip off, and ransack the apartment, and her property was stolen too.  Plaintiff claims her stuff was dumped at Goodwill in Folsom.  

Plaintiff claims the text shows stuff was stolen by defendant witness, witness is Anderson’s adult son.   However, the text is from the defendant's co-litigant, and woman friend. 

Defendant witness received his property back from the daughter, and it was at plaintiff's mobile home.    Defendant witness also saw blankets made by his grandmother at the plaintiff's mobile home.   (Did all of the women go to the same bad hairdresser, that over bleached their hair?).     

Case dismissed.   

Senior Skip Day-Plaintiff Gloria Cox car buyer and Grandmother are suing defendant Adrian Morgan over the granddaughter's Tyleisha Jones, used car down payment.   This is the one where JJ has to have Senior Skip Day explained. 

$500 down on the car (car was $3200 total) , Grandmother signed the paperwork, and Granddaughter Tyleisha Jones,  drove the car off of the lot.    Granddaughter drove to Senior Skip Day.  No guarantee or warranty is in the contract for the car.       (If the Grandmother's phone goes off one more time I'm going to scream, it went off twice already.  By the way, her ringtone is awful).     

Granddaughter's previous car was given to her by her aunt, and the engine blew after a month.    Granddaughter was driving around with a couple of friends, and it was Senior Skip Day, so she drove to the beach.   Plaintiff says car was acting up, and she kept driving around. 

Granddaughter took the car for an oil change, then went driving around. 

 After about a week, Grandmother took car back to dealer, and wanted a refund of the down payment, and payment contract cancelled on an "As Is" car.    The car had an oil leak, and I’m guessing since plaintiff didn’t get it fixed, that the oil leak caused the engine failure.    They didn't even get the car inspected by a mechanic before purchase.    Since there is no counterclaim contract is not going to be enforced.    I bet defendant just wants both grandmother and granddaughter out of his life. 

Case dismissed. 

Second (2016)-

Shady Mark-Up Artist-Plaintiff Rosilynn Mullan and cousin Chaniell Thomas  want the $280 deposit for her vow renewal makeup by defendant Jose Grenados, and it's a non-refundable deposit.     Defendant says he had a family emergency.   Plaintiff says she paid $280 to do her makeup for a wedding vow renewal.   He was hired to do cousin's daughter's makeup for prom night, and for graduation pictures.  Plaintiff paid defendant for the cap and gown pictures, $75.   For the prom, defendant didn't show up at all, because of a family emergency.    The family emergency was he had to pick up his little niece with pink eye from day care.   

Plaintiff wants the $280 deposit back because she has no confidence that defendant will show up for the vow renewal makeup. 

Plaintiff wants her refund back, and cousin wants pain and suffering for the makeup not being done for prom (she didn't pay for prom night, and didn't have a contract).     However, defendant has done makeup twice on plaintiff before the prom incident.  Sorry JJ, but if a kid has Pink Eye, they have to leave day care, and sometimes the parent can't leave work. 

 Plaintiff gets $280 back.  

Heroin and Alcohol Abuse-Plaintiff Daniel O’Brien suing his former landlord/defendant Jeffrey Marshall for return of his security deposit, and belongings.   Plaintiff fell off the wagon with alcohol, the day he moved into the defendant's property, and overdosed on Heroin soon after.     

Counter suit is property damage, stolen tools, etc.   Security deposit is $850.    Defendant says plaintiff moved out when he was out of town, and took his property with him.    Police report by plaintiff says nothing relevant.     Defendant says plaintiff ruined the courtyard door, left heroin residue behind where defendant's two-year-old daughter could have been exposed to it. 

(I'm wondering why plaintiff left the sober living house?    My guess is he was told to leave)

Plaintiff claims he left a TV behind, some Verizon thing, clothing, etc.   Defendant has to get his security deposit back.   $1150 to plaintiff.    (I don't think it should have been that much, and defendant should have done a better background check before letting this person into his home).

Dog Trainer Scam? -Plaintiffs/dog owners Paris Haider and Ali Hussain (brothers) suing defendant/dog Kevin Ford obedience trainer for not training their Rottweiler and German Shepherd, for protection and obedience.     Paris Haider owned the German Shepherd, and Ali Hussain owned the Rottweiler.  (This happened in Huntington Beach, CA).

Dogs would go stay with the defendant for 30-days.   The brothers knew defendant as a client of their pet supplement business.  

Defendant lost the German Shepherd, and never got the dog back.  Rottweiler was returned untrained by defendant.   Defendant claims he got $600 as a deposit, and is owed $1900 more.   Defendant says some dogs got out, someone let them out, at the end of the training month.   Defendant claims he notified plaintiff Ali Hussain the dog was gone.   Defendant claims he notified the plaintiff of the Shepherd that the dog was gone, and plaintiff says defendant told Haider the dog was missing after two weeks.   

JJ looks at the text messages between plaintiff and defendant.   Texts from defendant are bizarre, claiming a rescue group broke in, he found a finger a dog ripped off, and other garbage.    Defendant claims because the dogs were trained protection animals, that he was 100% devoted to getting the dogs back.  He claims he notified animal control.    Defendant claims he saw Mr. Haider’s dog, but couldn’t catch him.    Then, the defendant claims Paris Haider’s dog ate his way out of the cage.    Has a lot of excuses, but nothing believable.   

Plaintiff Haider will get his money back for the dog $4865, Hussain gets nothing.

Electrocuted Godson -Plaintiff/godmother Robin Ashwell suing defendant/godson James Falls for four loans to pay medical bills after plaintiff was electrocuted on the job.  

Defendant is suing Asplandt (the orange truck tree company) for the electrocution, and injuries.   Defendant has an attorney. 

   Plaintiff claims defendant owes her $367, and promised to repay her, all loans were in cash.

Defense witness says he drove defendant to godmother’s house, and saw her give him 200 mg. of Percocet, and he would repay her when his medication from worker’s comp came through. 

Defendant says plaintiff never gave him money, but only Percocet.    Plaintiff takes Percocet, but denies she ever gave Percocet to defendant.

Plaintiff gets $367 with zero proof.  (I believe the defendant, not the plaintiff).

Second (2013)-

Break Up, Break In? -Plaintiff Guadalupe “Adrian” Arista suing defendant Monica Pena his ex-boyfriend’s sister-in-law accused him of breaking into her home.     Defendant claims she saw the plaintiff burglarizing her home, but he was acquitted at trial.    Plaintiff claims he doesn’t even know the defendant, but defendant claims she knows him well.   Defendant is counter claiming for the burglary, and the security precautions she installed after that.  

Defendant’s police report was defendant came home, the sliding door was open, plaintiff was hauling stuff out, pushed defendant to the ground, and defendant chased him with her car.  Defendant claims she knew him from seeing him with her brother-in-law, and knew his name (Adrian is plaintiff’s middle name). 

Plaintiff is told by JJ, that he has to prove that defendant identified him with malice, not that she just was mistaken.     Plaintiff says a month after he broke up with the boyfriend, the police came into his workplace, and arrested him.    Plaintiff says he never met the defendant before the arrest, but defendant claims she had met him before. 

(I believe the plaintiff, and think the defendant is lying.    JJ asks defendant if brother-in-law was a drug user, and sometimes he was.   I think the defendant blames the plaintiff for the brother-in-law’s drug use, and it was retaliation.    Plaintiff also states that another suspect was arrested for the burglary, not too far from his house too. It amazes me that the defendant remembered his name, and everything else, after seeing him once, at a group event.     )     

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant gets $2500.

Heroin Possession? -Plaintiff Lynn Klann suing defendant Kayla Wenz (her sister’s friend, and lived with plaintiff off and on) for repayment of bail.   Defendant was arrested for heroin possession, and plaintiff bailed her out of jail.  Defendant is giggling, and smirking when she says she thought the bail was a gift, and she didn’t need to repay it.   Plaintiff says she did the bail, because she knew defendant had a trust fund, and could pay her back.

Defendant claims after another arrest, jail and rehab, that she’s clean. (Do I look stupid enough to believe defendant is clean?  I don’t think so).

$1085 to plaintiff.

Quinceanera Party Fail-Plaintiff Leticia Bermejo is suing defendant/party planner Blanca Yepez over her daughter's Quinceanera  (15th birthday party, a really big deal in some cultures) for breach of contract.    Plaintiff contracted with party planner for $17.80 per person, for 500 guests for food, tables, chairs, linens, cake, dishes and silverware.   

Party planner says 660 people showed at the event, instead of the 500 that were planned for.  Plaintiff paid $500 deposit, and owed $8400 more.  Plaintiff claims 515 people attended.     Plaintiff claims bartender never showed, and substitute was inadequate, head table wasn't good enough.     (Plaintiff mother and daughter both look like they've been sucking on lemons). 

Plaintiff also complains the regular bartender didn’t show up, so defendant’s husband did this job, with a tip jar, and he wasn’t dressed appropriately.     This was in Anaheim, CA.  

Total to defendant would be $8900, for the 500 people.  Plaintiff claims only 515 showed at the event.    Defendant says the venue would only hold 500 including the honor table (the parents, and girls, plus attendants, plus the young gentlemen that accompany the young ladies).     

Defendant claims 650 people actually showed up, not 500.   She says there were seats for 500 (per contract), and claims plaintiff brought 10 extra tables, and 100 chairs.   They needed extra security, and servers, and plaintiff refused to let defendant gather the beer cans off of the tables, because plaintiff wanted the cans gathered for recycling.   Party venue was rented to midnight, and it took until 4:00 a.m. to clean up the venue.   Security said they counted 660 people. 

Plaintiff lied to the show producer, and said she had 600 guests listed on the contract, until the contract for 500 was produced.  JJ almost called the producer to testify about plaintiff's switch in story, which would have been a first on the show.  Defendant is suing for cleaning crew, security, and damages. 

 Defendant / party planner receives $1780 for extra people.  (That’s still short of the number of people at the party, it was 660, not 515).

(People ask why such a big deal for the 15th birthday, and it’s the age that a little girl is now a woman in that culture.    Also, the huge party at 15 doesn’t impact the wedding costs later.   Some places where I’ve lived the Quinceanera was a big deal, and the groom’s family paid almost all of the wedding costs, and other relatives contribute for the entertainment or other expenses, so the bride’s family only pays for the wedding dress, and some smaller items).

Rabbit Hutch Crunch-Plaintiff Marlene Davies suing defendants/neighbors Bert Dunn and Amy Beams (girlfriend) over defendant’s tree branch crushing the rabbit hutch on plaintiff's property.    Defendants had their tree trimmed on their property, and a branch fell on the plaintiff’s fence, and rabbit hutch.     Defendants are whining because they say it was the plaintiff's responsibility to trim the tree (which is vine covered, and looks dead).   

However, plaintiff has the right to trim the branch, but not the responsibility to trim it.   However, because the tree looks diseased, and dead the defendant's insurance would have been on the hook for the tree damage.   

Defendant actually says the plaintiff 'let the branch die'.   

(I think plaintiff is very reasonable in only asking $600 for the fence, and rabbit hutch repairs).    Plaintiff receives $600.  

Second (2016)-

Tangled Love Triangle-Plaintiff Akilah Walk-Anderson suing defendants, one defendant is plaintiff’s cousin, Angelica Hardy, and second defendant is plaintiff’s ex-husband, Thomas Anderson, and they’re now boinking.  Plaintiff has two children 13, and 9, with ex-husband.   Plaintiff is suing over phone bill and damaged credit.

Cousin/defendant has plaintiff to co-sign for phone, cousin didn't pay for phone, and plaintiff claims ex-husband gave credit bureau plaintiff's social security number, impacting plaintiff's credit.   Phone cost over $775 each (why do I suspect iPhones?).   

Plaintiff says defendant paid three payments, and that's it.   Phone bill was $245 a month!   Plaintiff claims she paid off bill, and both phones, under threat of collections, or else risked ruining her own credit.   Defendant claims she gave the phone back to plaintiff.   At one time the bill was over $2,000 and going to collections.

$775 to plaintiff.

Unwed Parents vs. Bedbugs-Plaintiff Eboni Reid suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Barry DeBoise for car vandalism, bed bugs, and, personal property.  Defendant has his name on car with plaintiff, but had no license, (or teeth either, sadly).   Plaintiff claims defendant kicked her old car, they got a new (used) car, paid the down payment on it.   They had another fight and broke up, and defendant took the car, which is now at plaintiff's dad's place.   Car was in both litigant’s names.     

Defendant was driving car, and still is without a license (he's never had a license). Defendant's license was suspended for driving without a license, and then he got caught again driving without a license.    Plaintiff claims the children caught bed bugs at defendant's place, dismissed.    Defendant claims woman has two TVs, a laptop, clothes, and a laptop.    

Defendant gets his weight stuff, and one TV, and a laptop.      

$360 to plaintiff for car.   (I wouldn't have given defendant anything).

Property Problems -Plaintiff/landlord Amanda Emhof suing defendant/former tenant Chassey Sossaman for damages to her townhome.    Home was rented for 5 years to defendant.     After viewing the photos, the tenants get told off by JJ.  (This was in Huntington Beach, CA).

Also, defendant’s witness/husband wore shorts to court, and JJ points out that he wouldn’t wear that to a funeral, JJ is wrong, I’ve seen people go to funerals like that. 

Plaintiff never inspected the property during the five-year tenancy.    Plaintiff has a photo of the inside of the home off of defendant’s social media.  Defendant was the named tenant, and she lived there with her boyfriend, and three kids.   Defendant witness claims he cleaned the carpets every three months, during the five-year span.   

After pictures on move out are disgusting.   However, after five years the landlord will have to replace the carpets.   Big window is smashed, and defendant claims it was broken when they moved in.  No move-in photos means no money for the window.    Kitchen cabinet drawer is missing.

Plaintiff will have to pay for the deep cleaning, carpet replacement, and normal wear and tear.    The lack of move in photos, and any inspections or a walk through ruins the plaintiff’s case.

$477 for things other than wear and tear, like the shed, and kitchen drawer, so $477 is all the plaintiff gets.

Defendant counter claim dismissed.  

Bounty Hunter Payback -Plaintiff Jerry Eldred is suing defendant/former girlfriend Elisabeth Gatelin  for an iPhone, credit card charges, and bail.       They were on again off again.    Announcer notes that plaintiff is 62, and doesn’t mention the age of the much younger defendant. 

Plaintiff wants payment for his debit card charges, iPhone, bail.   Then, defendant was arrested for public intoxication.   Bail was $30,000. Plaintiff says he told bounty hunter to arrest her because he thought she was leaving, that he was revoking bail, and when they went to bring her to jail, she had already run away.    They found defendant at her new place in Long Beach, and arrested her.

Bail was $2700, everything else dismissed.

$2700 to plaintiff.

Second (2013)-

Fake Silver Sale? -Plaintiff Peter Dodge (owns a coin and precious metals shop in Franklin, TN) suing defendants/silver vendors Robert Gutowsky and his sister Lisa Clark, for selling him fake silver.    Plaintiff said the market price for silver is a more than the defendants sold him silver for just over $4,000. 

Plaintiff thought $1 less than market price was a deal.     Market price is about $28.00, and defendants were selling it for a dollar off market price, and defendants were buying the silver off of eBay for $9 or $10 an ounce.    Plaintiff submits an appraisal that the silver was fake.  Defendant says that plaintiff is in the business, and should have known the silver was fake, and defendant is also suing for lost profits because plaintiff stopped buying from him.

As JJ points out, when something is being sold for one-third of the market price, it’s not the real thing.

Plaintiff receives $4300 for the silver he purchased from defendants.   

Teen Denies Bad Driving -Plaintiff Luis Hunter suing defendants Sara Mebrahtu/teen driver, and her father Geseteh Cohasay (car owner) for damages from defendant daughter/driver running a stop sign.   

Plaintiff driver says he got to the stop sign, and stopped fully, and then went, but defendant driver ran her stop sign, and smashed the plaintiff's right front fender.   Plaintiff mother was at the scene immediately, and was the passenger in the car, and says defendant's mother said only parents were covered by insurance, but not daughter.  Plaintiff mother says defendant mother wanted plaintiff to lie and say she was driving so the insurance would pay for the accident.   

Defendant daughter claims plaintiff was at fault in the accident, and she's irate that police gave her a ticket, and says since she was unfamiliar with the road, the accident wasn't her fault.   Defendant driver blames everything on plaintiff, had no insurance, ran the stop sign. 

Plaintiff receives $2,000 for car.

Man Enraged by Police Arrest-Plaintiff Glenn Francis Hazelton suing defendant/his (mother) Nancy Hazelton for falsely accusing him of assault and theft.  Plaintiff has many (over a dozen) violent crimes he's been convicted for previously, and claims they weren't drug related, just assaults.   Plaintiff was arrested for assault and theft, spent six days in jail, and bailed himself out.   Plaintiff also assaulted his sister, but sister died after the arrest, and before this case aired.  

Plaintiff refuses to discuss his past history, and so JJ says case is dismissed.  Plaintiff then says he's willing to come back to court, and talk about his criminal record. Then he comes back, and all of his crimes are assault related, not burglaries, drugs or alcohol.   Plaintiff admits to a dozen arrests, and at the time of this hearing it was more like 40 arrests. 

Defendant mother says son has an alcohol problem.     Criminal complaint was plaintiff went into mother's home, stole a TV from the wall, assaulted sister (sister has since died, apparently unrelated to the assault), and police were called.   Mother says she came home to see her daughter holding an ice bag on her face, when she told mother what happened, the police were called.     The police report is awful.    (Plaintiff sounds very drunk in court). 

Plaintiff was arrested, had a spit hood put on, spent six days in jail until he bailed himself out, and charges were later dismissed.     Mother had nothing to do with pressing charges. 

(I was interested to find that the prosecuting attorney in several of plaintiff’s criminal cases is now the Senator from Minnesota.     Plaintiff has been arrested over a dozen times, and is a registered sex offender). 

Plaintiff's case is dismissed.

The Biting Black Cat-Plaintiff Lamia Adelby (a traveling nurse), wants defendant/former neighbor Patricia Grassi  to pay her out-of-pocket bills for defendant's cat biting her, and lost wages.   The medical insurance already paid almost $6000, and plaintiff's part is $6,000 (ER bill co-pay alone was $3,000).    Plaintiff waited almost a year to file the case, because bills were sent to her very late.    Plaintiff had to get rabies shots after the bite.  

Plaintiff came home from work, and cat tried to get into her apartment, and then cat bit her.  Plaintiff went to Urgent Care, and police and animal control were called, and animal control report is submitted.      Defendant has two cats, and one is an outdoor cat, that's the one who bit the plaintiff.   

Plaintiff claims the defendant said her cat bites her sister fairly often (sister lives with defendant).  Defendant claims animal control went away after she gave them the vet's name, and that cat was up to date on rabies shot.   

Defendant thinks that since plaintiff only had one rabies shot, and not the other three, that the bite isn't a problem.  Defendant claims the cat didn't bite the sister, but only nips her, and never draws blood.   The defendant keeps repeating that her cat never bit the plaintiff, no one every complains about the cat, and everyone loves the cat.  Cat is still wandering the neighborhood.    

(If you are bitten by an animal, always go for medical treatment.   The infections can be life threatening Also, until confirmed by the authorities, you don’t know if the animal has rabies shots or not).

Second (2016)-

Security Deposit Snafu-Plaintiff/former tenant Justin Wodstrchill wants rent back, and for an unlawful eviction by defendant/landlord Paul Cassel.   Plaintiff claims after the eviction he was told to remove his stuff from his room through the window to the room.   Rent was $750 a month.   

Plaintiff claims the $750 he paid landlord in March was to cover 15 March to 15 April, and landlord says it was security deposit.    When plaintiff tried to move in by April, landlord wanted the $750 rent for April, and plaintiff refused to pay.   There was no written lease, just month-to-month.     

On 5 April plaintiff tried to move in, and went to work, and returned to defendant's place that afternoon.   

 Landlord wanted $375 for the prorated March rent (plaintiff moved some stuff in on 15 March).   When plaintiff couldn't pay the $375, landlord called the police, and they told plaintiff to move.    Plaintiff came back to get his stuff (with a police escort), and that's when he claims defendant told him to move stuff out through the window.   Defendant claims plaintiff broke his window.   

Plaintiff gets $750, defendant claim dismissed (Defendant says man was trying to establish residency, and squat for eight months or more). 

Drunk Driving Excuses-Plaintiff Jennifer Grego suing former friend/defendant William Shaw for wrecking her car when he drove it drunk.    The night before the accident the litigants went to a friend's house, and at the home both litigants were drinking.    Defendant was driving them home, in plaintiff's car, then he tried to pull over, and that's when the accident happened.  Defendant also hit another car, and a fire hydrant in the accident. 

Plaintiff claims defendant wasn't drinking or drunk, but defendant claims both had been drinking all day.   Defendant's license was suspended for drunk driving.   Plaintiff claims the car was worth $5000.   Plaintiff actually had insurance, and has estimates.   

Plaintiff receives $5,000.

The Godfather -Plaintiff Nick Schuft suing defendant/godson Skylar McDonald over unpaid loans to pay an attorney for a domestic violence charge against his wife, and damages to his own apartment.   Defendants had an argument, and woman Amanda McDonald (wife of defendant) called the police (they’re now married) and claimed domestic violence.    Wife says plaintiff and defendant husband had an argument, and when police showed up defendant man was drunk.

So, defendant needed an attorney and borrowed $2700 for that, and $2000 for the apartment damages. Plaintiff owns a door company, and defendant man actually worked for him for a while.  Then, defendant man got a two-year restraining order against plaintiff, and plaintiff claims there was no hearing.   Filing fee for plaintiff was $450 to pay for the restraining order, and he declined to fight it.   Keith Berwend works for plaintiff, and claims he saw plaintiff count out the money on the first loan, and didn’t see the money count on the second loan.   Defendant claims plaintiff loaned him $1,000.  

Defendant claims plaintiff’s business isn’t legit, he claims plaintiff owes him money, and that plaintiff didn’t loan him anything but the $1,000.   JJ lectures defendant about having more kids when he can’t even afford the one he has.  

$5000 to plaintiff.  That’s a good decision, I’m suspecting any money defendant would have received would have been wasted.

Slander and Las Vegas Trip! -Plaintiff Maricela Zuninga-Rodriguez suing defendant Amanda Davis over the price of a plane ticket to Vegas.    Defendant says she decided not to go to Vegas, and told plaintiff to get someone to go into her place.   Ticket cost $250.

Amanda Ivey is slander witness for defendant, claiming what plaintiff said about defendant.

Biting Boyfriend -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Nicole Crobak suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Calvin Johnson for a loan for dental work, and for biting her.  Defendant’s tooth was knocked out a month ago, and asked  Nicole for the $350 for the tooth replacement.    They got into a brawl at a bar, and plaintiff claims that’s when the defendant bit her.     The bite was before the dental work loan.  Defendant thinks he’s wonderful, and attractive (he isn’t by the way).   Defendant claims plaintiff clawed his face, and he bit her.   No one called the police.

The date of medical care isn’t on the medical treatment forms.   Plaintiff was treated for backache, not a bite.

$350 to plaintiff for the dental work loan.

Babysitter’s Bounced Checks! (2013)-Plaintiff Brittany Taylor suing former babysitting employer Amelia McPeek. for the two bad checks defendant wrote her ($100, and $100) for babysitting her child overnight.  After both checks bounced plaintiff refused to baby sit for the child again.    Plaintiff wants bank fees, the $200 for the bad checks, and other fees.   Defendant claims she didn't know the account was closed that she wrote the checks on.  The checks were written against an account in another state, that the defendant had at a credit union.    (This happened in Orlando, FL)

JJ wants to know where the defendant went on both overnight babysitting sessions.    Defendant doesn't want to say. If she rolls her eyes again, I hope JJ gives the plaintiff everything she asked for.   

In her sworn statement defendant didn't say anything about not knowing the account was closed, wrote the checks against the wrong account, and says the babysitter was incompetent. Defendant works at a hospital, and that scares me?  Defendant is lucky that plaintiff didn’t file criminal charges for the bad checks.

Bitter Custody Battle-Plaintiff mother Janette Ward and new boyfriend Travis Galloway zfighting defendant/father of kid, Jonathan Reed, for false restraining order and harassment.      SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Three) had baby with defendant (and has had two other kids with fiance/boyfriend).  She lived in California, and she since moved to Washington, with the defendant's child also.    This move was without defendant's consent.   There was a custody fight by defendant to get child returned to California, and defendant won.   

Defendant had custody, and now child is allowed to visit mother on school breaks, and some holidays.   Defendant lives with his grandmother for now.  Plaintiff fiance says defendant's family is harassing them, and threatening them in California.  He wants moving costs, etc. because he had to move (so much for plaintiffs saying "We moved for a better life").   

Plaintiff fiance is a total jerk, and keeps trying to run the plaintiff case, and plaintiffs claim the 7-year-old made a video for them saying she wants to move back with mother.  

(My guess is mother has to pay child support, and pay travel for the child's visits, and doesn't want to.   I find it creepy that fiance is so fixed on getting the little girl back).    There was no child support order against mother, since the court couldn't locate the mother.    Plaintiff fiance keeps butting in, and JJ tells him to stop it.   Bet the court staff will give the plaintiff’s address to the defendant for the plaintiff to file for support. 

Plaintiff fiance claims he didn't try to get a protective order, and defendant didn't get one either, so that part of the case is gone.   However, plaintiff fiance does have a restraining order against defendant's aunt (defendant’s witness).   (Plaintiff woman admits that they are deliberately hiding the child from defendant.   Also, plaintiff fiance works in various states, so he doesn't have to live in Washington either.   He's a concert and event promoter).   

Case dismissed.  

Mechanic Mayhem-Plaintiff Jason Hall suing defendant/mechanic Dwayne Rodgers for refund for uncompleted repairs, and an unpaid parking ticket.  Mechanic works out of his home, and car repair is a side job for him.      Car was towed while the mechanic had possession, and plaintiff had to bail his car out of impound.

Second (2016)-

Friendly Neighborhood Road Rage-Plaintiff Patricia Winstead suing neighbor/ defendant Russell Towne over a road rage incident (I already picked sides, I think the defendant is close to sane, the plaintiff not so close).   Plaintiff was backing out of her driveway, defendant was driving down the street and had right of way.   Plaintiff stopped backing, then she backed up into the driving lane, and defendant braked, and swerved.   

Then plaintiff was yelling at him, and pulled up close behind him at the stop sign.   The defendant thought she wanted to "chat", so he got out of his car.   (Defendant should never have done that, years ago two friends were being harassed on the road, got out to "chat", and died right there).     Plaintiff is totally out of control in court.   

On the roadside, both litigants were yelling like fools.   Plaintiff claims man hit her car with his hand, and didn't damage anything, or hit where the woman claims damage is from him.    Plaintiff is out of control in court, and claims defendant was swerving towards her car, (total garbage), and tried to hit her.   Plaintiff did not have right of way.  Defendant says woman was on cell phone, and smoking when backing out.  

 This happened on 7 September, and plaintiff didn't make the police report until 1 October.   Plaintiff claims defendant punched her car (let me guess, she had someone hit her car, and then decided to file report with police, blaming defendant).     

$1637 to plaintiff, and that's wrong.   

Deceased Mom, Deadbeat Dad-Plaintiff/ former Mother-in-law Kathaleen Dufton suing defendant/former Son-in-law Terry Shepard Jr. for social security checks going to the two daughters, after defendant's wife died.   Daughters went to live with grandmother, and are still there.     Plaintiff claims it was $800+ for each child from the beginning, and now is over $1100 each child.   MIL claims that former SIL illegally kept one daughter's SS payments for almost a year.   

However, the daughter in question was taken by grandmother when defendant wasn't home, and didn't have his permission.   He was thinking about filing kidnapping charges at the time.  The grandmother has legal guardianship of both girls for several years now.    SS Admin. paid $660 over to defendant, and grandmother will get that money.   Except grandmother didn't even have temporary guardianship when the daughters started living with him (my guess is that's about the time he remarried).   

Plaintiff gets $5,000.   

Horse Case  -Plaintiff/horse buyer Caroline Fawcett suing defendant/horse seller Summer Ruegger over payments for a horse sale. Claims plaintiff is owed board for the horse.  Defendant was selling horse on payments to plaintiff for 15 payments of $100 a month.   Plaintiff says it was a lease, not a sale, so she's suing for $2700 for board and feed.   Plaintiff says it was a lease to own (she was buying the horse on payments, another reason why I tell people to either keep the horse in your barn until it's paid for, or don't do payments). 

 $1400 to defendant for the horse, and plaintiff seems stunned.   

The hall-terview is hysterical, where plaintiff has a meltdown, complete with crying on the bench of shame, and gasping.     Plaintiff thought she would get away with not paying for the horse.

Woman Picks Dogfight?! -Plaintiff Nancy Duker suing for dog attack, defendant/dog owner Kerry Mack for repeated dog bites ($5,000).    Plaintiff claims was verbally abusing the dogs, and provoked the attack.   Plaintiff says the dogs jumped out of the car, jumped on plaintiff, knocked her to the ground, and bit her all over her legs.  Plaintiff lives on the Coast highway, and dogs jumped out of the car of defendant’s dog sitter, Kendra Kent, in front of defendant’s house.   Defendant was in the house, recovering from surgery, and Kendra Kent was caring for the dogs.   

Photos of plaintiff’s legs show multiple dog bites, one dog is a Whippet mix, and the other is a Lab/Boston cross (my opinion, the Lab is not crossed with a Boston Terrier, but some other big dog).  Dog sitter was returning from a dog walking trip to the park, and dog walker claims plaintiff approached the car, and started talking to her, and then was calling the dogs mean, vicious, and was yelling at dogs and the dog sitter.   Dog walker claims dogs jumped out of car after the verbal abuse by plaintiff, and Ms. Kent claims plaintiff fell into a planter.   

Defendant and dog walker claim the marks weren’t bites, but scrapes from falling into the planter.  JJ objects to plaintiff laughing about the defendant and dog sitter’s bizarre excuses.   Sorry, JJ I’m laughing at defendant’s excuses too.  

Plaintiff went to the ER, and was hospitalized overnight.  Animal control report talks about repeated bites by the same dog, and defendant and dog sitter both knew about the bite history.   Defendant adopted one dog from dog sitter, and tried to give Roofus up but no shelter would take him.    There was a previous attack by Roofus on a customer at a restaurant up the street, and defendant says it wasn’t really a bite.   There was also an attack by the same dog on another animal.    (This is why all bites should be reported to animal control, so a dog with a bite history has a paper trail with the authorities, because if there’s another bite, it doesn’t get overlooked).  

JJ says defendant wasn’t there, and is lying.     Roofus has bitten humans on two occasions, and another dog once.  JJ warns defendant that next bite will result in someone showing this episode, and they will get everything defendant owns.  

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Vampire Showgirl -Plaintiff Joseph Myers suing defendant Zuma Mariani for the return of a vampire costume loaned to defendant for a pageant, and travel expenses to go to pageant with her.

Burglary and the Ex-Boyfriend -Plaintiff  Enrique Perez, and (mother) Isabel Berry, are suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Felicia Albanez for falsely claiming plaintiff broke into her home.   After the burglary, defendant told police what happened, and plaintiff was indicted and went to trial.   Defendant moved in with Tommy, and is having Tommy’s child.  Defendant didn’t testify in the trial against plaintiff, so they’re suing her for false police report.   However, DA bound the case over for trial.  (This all happened in , so you can avoid the area)

Defendant claims her current boyfriend Tommy isn’t in court, because Tommy’s twin brother was shot five times on the lawn in front of their home, brother survived, and Tommy thinks plaintiff and friends are after him.

Tommy (the new boyfriend) and defendant saw the burglary, and told the police.  The next morning Tommy was at work, and defendant claims the plaintiff showed up at defendant’s house, and claim plaintiff breaks into the house.   When plaintiff left the house, defendant claims she waited for boyfriend (no phone), and called police.   Defendant didn’t appear for the trial, because she was afraid of plaintiff and his friends.    When defendant didn’t appear, case was dismissed against the plaintiff.

When they searched plaintiff’s house they found five guns, a grow op (growing weed), and other evidence.   JJ tells the plaintiff mother that she’s not a valid alibi for her son. 

If plaintiff’s home hadn’t been a den of iniquity, then JJ might have given him something.  However, I find the defendant to be less than credible too.   I bet boyfriend Tommy has a lot more enemies than plaintiff that aren’t too happy with him.  

Plaintiff’s case dismissed.   

Just Don’t Do It!- Plaintiff Tracy Cooper is suing defendant Jeff Black, claiming he stole her exercise machine.     JJ asks defendant where the exercise machine is, and smart ass defendant says “I don't have it”.   Defendant looks like he's been pole axed when his fiance rats him out. 

Defendant's fiancee says defendant sold the exercise machine to a friend of defendant named, Adam.    JJ tells defendant fiancee that she's with a fool, and as usual, fiancee just smirks.  

Defendant claims plaintiff abandoned the exercise machine.   He claims plaintiff sold him the machine for $500, but plaintiff says he's lying. Plaintiff hired mover Jeff Black to move her household goods, including the exercise machine.   

Defendant fiancee says defendant loser sold the machine to Adam for $500.    Machine is gone.

In hall-terview defendant's fiancee says that defendant was just nervous, isn't a bad person (for a thief; my view, not hers), and how it's all a misunderstanding.   

Plaintiff receives $500 for the older exercise machine.

How Do You Support Yourself?   -Plaintiff /former tenant Kiana Fisher suing ex-landlord /defendant Emmily Miller, for vandalizing and stealing her property (for $3,152).  As usual, plaintiff's unemployed boyfriend Nicholas Lopez, moved in too.   Plaintiff wants $3000 for a 60" TV, laptop, etc.   Rent was $650 a month.    Plaintiff has her own home business, selling glass art online, and boyfriend works with his mother as a dog groomer sometimes (he's been unemployed for two years awaiting surgery).   

In six months, the police were called three or four times, because of fights between the two plaintiffs, according to female plaintiff.    However, defendant claims there were 10 police calls, in six months. (I guess plaintiff Fisher’s eyebrows are to honor Groucho Marx?  Microblading gone wild).   

On September 5th plaintiff, and defendant all called the police, and defendant received a Temporary Restraining Order against male plaintiff.    Plaintiff male has been in prison for drugs (2 years for selling meth).      

There were home window damages.  With a very bad shoulder, awaiting surgery, plaintiff boyfriend claims he pulled down and broke the window.    JJ pulls out her tiny violin in sympathy with plaintiff boyfriend.

 Plaintiff boyfriend broke a window, and claims as long as his girlfriend was living in the home, he was going to stay (that's why the Temporary Protective Order).    Defendant claims plaintiff male was using drugs in her home.   

Plaintiff woman filed no taxes, because she didn't know she had to, and how is she paying rent, and buying a lot of expensive stuff?   Defendant also had help pulling up, and destroying plaintiff males’ marijuana plants, and he's whining about that.    Defendant is counter suing for house damages.

Neighbor called defendant about the two plaintiffs moving things out over a four-day period.   This was after plaintiff male was served with a restraining order to stay away from the house.     Plaintiffs are claiming for the marijuana plants that were destroyed after the TRO was granted, by friends of defendant.

Plaintiff case dismissed.     Defendant case dismissed too, and she has a restraining order for three years against plaintiffs.   

Don't Cross the Yellow Line-   Plaintiff Alexis Cardenas (car driver, her mother owns the car) are suing defendant Jamie Taylor over traffic accident.   No surprise the defendant didn't have insurance at the time.  Plaintiff daughter was driving, and her car was insured.   Plaintiff says defendant was pulling out of the gas station/minimart pulled across traffic, and right in front of plaintiff.  

Defendant is counter claiming for car damages on her uninsured car.  Plaintiff was driving home, was in the left lane, and defendant pulled out from the gas station on the right side of the street, and hit plaintiff.     

Defendant says she was in the left turn lane, going the other way, was across the yellow line on plaintiff's side, and claims plaintiff hit her then.   Defendant was on plaintiff's side of the road, so she's going to lose.  Defendant took off after the accident.  Defendant received a ticket for no insurance, and should have been cited for hit and run.  

Plaintiff receives $2500.

Second (2016)-

Blame it on Your Bro!-   -Plaintiff Aleksandr Mazurenko suing his former friend/defendant Jaime Felix for damaging his fence when he ran over it with his car.   Defendant claims his currently incarcerated brother was driving, not him.  Plaintiff's daughter witnessed the accident.   The fence, and a shed were the casualties.   

Plaintiff saw two people standing by the car after the accident.   Defendant claims his brother handed him his driver's license, and then brother left.   Whoever was driving, the car is owned by the defendant.   Defendant's pathetic story is he was going out, so he drove to his mother's house, and left the car and his driver's license there, and that's when brother took the car.  (This happened in Gresham, Oregon).    As JJ points out, whoever was driving, defendant is owner of the car.

 JJ gets a real kick out of defendant's sworn statement, because it full of lies.  Defendant girlfriend claims boyfriend drives one of her family's cars, not his own, and his car has no insurance.   However, defendant isn't named on girlfriend's family's car insurance, so he’s still not insured to drive.     

Plaintiff receives $5,000

Bulldog vs. Little Girl-Plaintiff Kimberly Lepes suing neighbor/defendant Heaven’leigh Marshall over defendant’s dog biting her little girl, for medical bills, and pain and suffering.        

Defendant claims the girl provoked his dog before it bit her on the leg.    Plaintiff says his bull dog mix is about 40 lbs., and gets out of the yard many times, and has been brought back by the plaintiff at least seven times.     Defendant Heaven’leigh Marshall (No, I'm not kidding, that's the name) saw the bite happen, and claims the kids he was watching were chasing the dog with a stick, and the dog bit the little girl.     

 Animal control did not quarantine the dog.   The next day after the attack, the dog was loose again when the police report was being done, and on one other occasion.    Dog was moved to the cousin's house.      

 Plaintiff receives $248 for medical costs, and JJ doubles that to $500.

Were people this age born in a hole or something?  Boyfriend picking skills clearly lacking (plaintiff).  And who goes to court and says "yep" to a judge (defendant).  JJ did not correct her, however, or mention to plaintiff what a prize she had in her boyfriend.

Kids in Rolling Car Collision- Plaintiff Loretta Russo suing defendant Brett Yoches for car damages.  Defendant left his car parked with his two children in it, the car rolled across the parking lot, and hit the plaintiff's parked car.   Defendant's defense is that the children did nothing wrong, and his car didn't really hit the plaintiff's car. 

Plaintiff saw the collision happen, fortunately plaintiff's daughter, and grandchild weren't standing at the car door, or they would have been smashed between the two cars.  Either defendant didn't put car in park, or daughter put it into reverse, or neutral.     Defendant claims there was no collision.   

Defendant claims his car was parked several spaces over from the court drawing, and it couldn't hit the plaintiff's car.   Defendant claims the curb corner stopped his car from rolling.  Defendant claims when he came back outside, that his car was three feet from the plaintiff’s car.    Defendant is such a liar.   JJ sends the defendant's 10-year-old, and 9-year-old, out of court so she can rip defendant a new one, and the audience applauds.  

Plaintiff receives $1,600 for her car damages.

Thieving Cousin -Plaintiff Aaron Raines (female) suing family friend’s cousin/defendant Charles "Lydell" Burton over the theft of an iPad computer.   Plaintiff claims her roommate/witness saw defendant in their home earlier in the day, and after that iPad was gone.  Plaintiff shows texts from defendant, pretending to be a friend.    There are no witnesses that saw defendant take the computer.    

However, defendant has no story that is logical, or believable.  Defendant keeps interrupting the plaintiff’s testimony, and butting into what JJ says. 

JJ believes the plaintiff, and nothing the defendant says. 

Plaintiff receives, $576.

Pit Bull Attacks Child-- Plaintiff/landlord Sa'de Lablanc is suing defendant/tenants Colin Felch, and Blanca Harper  over attack on her child by defendants’ Pit Bull.   Little girl testifies about the attack.  

Defendants are still tenants, and plaintiff wants them out of her property.   Plaintiff's daughter, Kaspiana (what a lovely name) and defendant's children were playing, when plaintiff’s 6-year-old daughter was attacked by defendant's dog.     

Defendants moved in on 16 September, and the attack happened on 29 September.  Child was taken to the hospital after the attack, and still has scars that she shows to JJ.   The attack happened outside in the yard.   The little girl says dog probably got scared, because the plaintiff's daughter, and the defendant's 6-year-old girl were wearing play boxing gloves. 

Plaintiff says when she signed lease with tenants that they were going to put up a fence around their yard.  Plaintiff wants circus training classes the daughter missed, and daughter's pain and suffering.   Plaintiff already gave defendants notice to leave her property.   

Defendants claim they're leaving at the end of the month, and are complaining about the lack of proper utilities.    As long as defendants move out, and pay their rent, then plaintiff won't pursue lease breaking fees for the rest of the two-year period.   Plaintiff needs to amend the lease limiting the number, size, etc. of tenant dogs, or cats.

Plaintiff receives $1 (No unreimbursed medical bills, nothing else that plaintiff is out).  I would have given the plaintiff $5,000. 

Is Ex a Thief? – Plaintiff Stephanie Endres suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ejai Curran over car damages.     Plaintiff's car had marks from being kicked numerous times, almost 2 years ago, when the defendant borrowed her car.   Then defendant was arrested for domestic violence and jailed for two months, then they got back together again, and only split after another domestic violence incident happened.   

After the car kicking, plaintiff had a baby, and they reconciled.   Then in August, defendant beat her up again, and took a bunch of stuff.     Car damages are dismissed.

Plaintiff claims defendant broke her phone, and stole her Xbox, as he was leaving her.  Defendant claims plaintiff broke his phone first.    Xbox dismissed, phone dismissed (they each broke the other's phone).

Everything dismissed.

Bloody Assault at the Comedy Show-Plaintiff Barnetta Anderson suing former friend/defendant Antoinette Coleman for a false restraining order, and harassment.     Plaintiff claims that defendant was sending her nasty texts (apparently another friend or relative was boinking someone they shouldn't have been), and threats.   Months later they ran into each other at the Orpheum Theatre (for a comedy show, to make the episode title make sense).  Defendant walked up behind plaintiff, and assaulted her, and it's on video.   Plaintiff claims defendant bit her too.  Some bystander pulled defendant off of plaintiff, who was laying on the ground, and plaintiff called the police.    

Defendant swears the plaintiff started it at the Orpheum, and defendant claims she fell on plaintiff.    Both filed for protective orders, and both were granted TROs until the hearing, and only plaintiff was granted a longer-term protective order.    Defendant brought no witnesses.   

In the video, defendant is clearly on top of plaintiff, shaking and grabbing her.   

Plaintiff has scars from the assault, a dent in her forehead, and because of another issue (Chiari Malformation) had two brain surgeries after this (Chiari malformation surgery is major, plaintiff is lucky to be alive).    (The poor person who bleeps things from the air certainly earned their pay with the voice mail from defendant).

Plaintiff receives $5,000, and defendant already was tried in criminal court, and was convicted.  (Defendant says in hall-terview the plaintiff received what she deserved).

Wedding Chapel Catastrophe-Plaintiffs Janie and Gary Reichuber claims defendant Ken Elliott owes for payments made by plaintiffs for daughter's wedding at venue defendant claimed to own.    Plaintiff daughter , Diana Reichuber Zoeller, was driving by, saw the venue, and reserved it. 

Defendant says he was in negotiations to purchase he building from the contractor who was remodeling the building.   There was never a contract with the remodeler/seller, and a sale to defendant never happened.     

The defendant never owned the venue, but the flyers he printed say that he is the owner.    The flyer for the rental of the venue has defendant's cell phone written in by him.   The defendant accepted the reservation for the venue, and took a deposit for the first half of the rental fee ($3413).   

 In face-to-face meetings with defendant, the plaintiff bride says that defendant claimed he owned the venue.    It was in Kansas, and by the time of the wedding, there would have been no heat (defendant says that's wrong, but I don't believe anything he says).   Plaintiff mother of bride submits a flyer saying under new ownership, defendant's phone number.      Plaintiff bride and fiance saw a sign on the door of the venue about the boiler being off, and the place was closed.   

Defendant claims he worked with the owner of the building and boiler was repaired in time, but has no proof.   Defendant has never owned the building.

Plaintiffs receive $3400 from the lying, stealing defendant.  Why didn't the police take a complaint, and file fraud charges on this loser?

Ex-Girlfriend Escape Caught on Tape!-   Plaintiff Orlando Hernandez suing ex-girlfriend/defendant Montiel Reeves for intentionally damaging his property, and assault.  Plaintiff says defendant invaded his apartment, after they broke up (plaintiff was in jail for six months, and they broke up before his unfortunate incarceration).  Plaintiff claims his friend, Benny Ma, was at his apartment playing video games, while plaintiff was walking his dog.   

This is the second time defendant invaded his apartment.   Defendant ex-girlfriend scares me, and her girlfriend witness is off too.  

Plaintiff hasn't been on a date with defendant for over three years (she was 17 then, and is now 20).     Plaintiff was walking his pit bull/American Dingo (There is an American breed called a Dingo, this is not an Australian Dingo, they’re totally illegal in the U.S.)  mix.     Defendant claims she didn't force her way into the apartment, but came over for money.

When plaintiff friend called and told him the defendant was in his apartment.    Plaintiff cares for his disabled (double amputee) father, and is paid as a caregiver.   While in prison, plaintiff completed his GED.   

Video is submitted of the assault, and loco actions of the defendant.  Video shows the apartment with defendant singing, screaming, and acting high.   Defendant was breaking the window out, and you can see that on video.   The assault by defendant is shown too, and recorded.  

Plaintiff wanted a restraining order two years ago, but it was refused.   Defendant wanted $20, claims plaintiff lured her to his apartment for sex, and would pay her $20, and wouldn't let her leave.   What a liar she is. 

Defendant was given a protective order by the court.    (I won't go into details, but defendant has quite the record since this case aired).   I know who I think the victim is here, and it's not the defendant.

Plaintiff claims defendant came through the bedroom window, not via the front door.  Plaintiff looks so confused with JJ reads defendant's lying statement to the court.  Defendant told police that she went out the window to escape, and called the police make a false report to cover herself.   

Plaintiff receives $956. $500 was for the assault, and the $456 was for the window and headphones (Plaintiff broke the number one rule of dating, ‘never sleep with anyone crazier than you are’)

Show Me the Money Trail!-Plaintiff Tynikki Burkitt suing contractor/defendant Joseph Mannino for return of her deposit on work he never performed.     Defendant/contractor says plaintiff made an insurance claim, received $6500, and then found a cheaper company to do the work.    $2500 deposit was paid to contractor, and plaintiff wants it back.   JJ wants to see the paid bill or check paid to contractor that did the job.  Plaintiff says she hasn't completed the bathroom repair, so she brought her suit prematurely.     JJ will explain why suit is premature.  

Defendant says the insurance check was negotiated with the insurance company, so JJ needs to find out how much the other company is charging for the bathroom.   (JJ surmises that the defendant padded the bill to cover the deductible).   

 JJ says the $6500 was insurance payout, and giving the $2500 back is not warranted, because that would be enrichment.   Plaintiff case dismissed.

Mutual Custody Combat? -Plaintiff /father of children Denzell Glen, and new girlfriend/fiance, Ianiesha Williams, are suing defendant/mother of children Dominique Adams (SSMOT Sainted Single Mother of Two with plaintiff) over the assault, and vandalism.   Defendant/mother is accused of knocking out another woman’s teeth, and vandalizing the children’s father’s car during a court-ordered custody exchange.   

Plaintiff father showed up at the custody exchange site with new girlfriend, and Ms. Williams said, “Give me my baby”, and the fight was on.  Son was already in father’s car, and then the argument over the little girl happened. 

Father says they never lived together, but defendant says they lived together for two years in the same apartment.   After the custody dust up, defendant took the kids, and went back to her mother’s place (she lives there with the kids, and Ms. Adams’ lives with her mother, right next to the parking lot where the spat happened).  

Defendant told her mother that she wasn’t letting her kids go with the plaintiff father.   Then, according to Ms. Williams, defendant and her mother came back to the parking lot, and plaintiff fiance claims the defendant dragged her out of the car by her hair.   Meanwhile, the little girl was left behind in the grandmother’s apartment.     Previously, Ms. Adams took the kids and move to Texas, without the father’s permission or the court’s permission.  

Plaintiff Williams say she was punched multiple times, she had tooth damages, facial contusions, and she had cracked teeth.    Plaintiff Glen says defendant kicked a hole in his dashboard.   Plaintiff Glen has had three court dates postponed about visitation, and JJ says plaintiff father should sue for full custody.

JJ tells defendant she has no right to limit the visitation with the children.

Bottle Assault -Plaintiff Nickolas Rotta suing defendant Gianluca Rossato hitting plaintiff in the head with a bottle. Defendant says plaintiff was trespassing at a friend’s house, and that’s when the bottle thumping happened.   Defendant was arrested, but case was dismissed before trial.   Plaintiff and his witness, went to a friend’s house at 4 a.m., claiming they decided to go say hello to a friend (Delaney), and claim he called Delaney who said come over.     Plaintiff and witness claim the door was wide open at 4 a.m., and they were invited.  

Plaintiff claims Delaney’s sister was texting with him and invited him to the house.   Plaintiff claims he arrived at the house, and knocked, and no one answered the door, they claim door was ajar.  Police report says plaintiff trespassed, and refused to leave, and wasn’t invited.   Defendant claims he was protecting the house occupants from an intruder.

Defendant says the girls who live in the house invited him to come over to the house, because they were afraid of plaintiff.   Defendant claims the plaintiff hit him first.    One or both of the girls who live in the house claims plaintiff drugged them.

Defendant is counter suing for false arrest, and his medical bills.   Plaintiff lies and says the girls never claimed he drugged, and took advantage of them, but plaintiff’s emails say he knew about the allegations.

Defendant’s charges were dismissed.

Plaintiff’s medical bills were over $3500.   However, he was trespassing. Plaintiff’s friends who lived in the house declined to come on the show.

Plaintiff gets $2,500, defendant case dismissed.

Unbelievable Lawsuit-Plaintiff /uninsured driver Velvet Polk Jeanette Wilson  is suing the driver/defendant she crashed into for vandalizing her car, and harassment. .    Defendant was insured, and in a brand new car.   

After the accident the plaintiff was supposed to meet defendant at the police station, but didn't.     Defendant's car insurance paid for her car, but defendant wants her $1,000 deductible from the plaintiff.   Plaintiff gave defendant a phony phone number too.   

Plaintiff claims defendant vandalized her car, and has a police report from plaintiff.    Report says plaintiff's car tires were slashed (bet there are a ton of suspects for that crime), and claims there was vandalism on three occasions, over the span of months.    Plaintiff brought two 'witnesses' who claim to have seen the vandalism.     

There are actually three police reports, dated from May, July, and October, all about vandalism on plaintiff's car.  Plaintiff actually has the gall to say the defendant vandalized her car two days in a row, apparently driving on flattened tires. 

Funny!   Plaintiff claims she missed the police the day after the vandalism, because she was driving her kid to school.   On flat tires.   

Also, plaintiff's license was suspended too (don't they ever arrest anyone anymore for driving suspended?).       The accident happened in May, and plaintiff didn't get insurance until July.      Plaintiff's license was never reinstated. 

 Defendant receives $1,000, and plaintiff gets nothing.

Cheating, Guns and a Stolen Laptop-Plaintiff Charles Brown is suing his ex-girlfriend/defendant Victoria Thomas for a stolen laptop ($3,000), defendant claims he was cheating.    Plaintiff claims he paid the defendant for the laptop. 

Defendant claims she wasn't living with plaintiff, and she was.    She also claims she didn't have a laptop while completing her two-year program at Virginia College.  Defendant can't keep any of her dates or times right.     (Virginia College is out of business now, but did a lot of certification courses that they called a degree, where a laptop or other career equipment was taken out of student’s loans, and paid for by the military).

Defendant says William Bielefeldt has an unrequited crush on him, and he never got a loan from him.  

Then, defendant repaid $200, but denies he repaid anything.

When plaintiff asked defendant about the repayment, and plaintiff claims defendant assaulted him. 

$1850 to plaintiff for the loan.     

Cash Up Front, Friend! -Plaintiff Devon Calitri suing defendant Clinton Duncan for unpaid car payments , $600, and lost wages.   Plaintiff wanted $1,000 for the 1999 Ford Expedition car she was selling.

Road Rage Slam! -Plaintiff Kenneth Mabry suing defendant Kelly McKee for attacking his car windshield with a hammer.   This happened on 4 November 2014, at 2 p.m., and litigants don't know each other.    This happened in L.A. during early rush hour (sorry JJ, 2 p.m. is rush hour in L.A.). 

Defendant's witness is her mother.   Plaintiff pulled over for a passing ambulance, and others plus defendant pulled over, to let ambulance go by.  Then they both pulled back into traffic, stopped at a stop light, defendant started screaming at plaintiff, and threw a soda at plaintiff's car.    Both litigants got out of their cars, and defendant got a hammer or baseball bat out of her car, and smashed plaintiff's windshield.   

Plaintiff says he pulled up to the light, ignored screaming defendant, and then defendant threw a full cup of soda into his car.   Plaintiff says defendant hit his car 8 to 10 times with a hammer from her car, smashing his car window.   Defendant's mother was screaming all kinds of threats too. Then, plaintiff says defendant climbed in her car to leave, but the mother wasn't in the car, so police had time to arrive and see the end of the incident. 

Defendant claims plaintiff cut her off, so she had to apply her emergency brake.  What a bunch of garbage defendant, and her mother are talking about. 

Defendant is training for emergency services, an EMT student, which makes me very nervous.   I really hope she never graduated or was hired.

This is the one where JJ tells defendant her 'goose is cooked', and defendant says she doesn't have a goose, or eat goose.   Rotten defendant says she hopes JJ doesn't need CPR, because she wouldn't perform that for her (defendant is studying to be an EMT).    The gasp out of the audience is loud, and I bet Officer Byrd is on high alert, and really ticked.

Defendant laughs at JJ saying she committed vandalism. 

Plaintiff receives $500, I think he should have received $5,000 for having to associate with this nut case defendant.

Bunk Bed Blowup- Plaintiff Kevin Johnstone suing defendant Melissa Baldwin, over bunkbeds he bought for his kids, when they lived together.   Defendant wouldn't let plaintiff take the bunk beds when he moved out, claiming she paid for the bunk beds. 

  Plaintiff was hiding money from his soon to be ex-wife, and used that to buy the bunk beds.  Great move to say all of this to a family court judge who served for many years. Also, I’m hoping the ex-wife’s attorney was sent a copy of this case.    Money to buy bunk beds came from a settlement to plaintiff.   The litigants had a joint account, and plaintiff didn't want his ex-wife to get any money.   Plaintiff didn't have a bank account, just defendant, and he used the account.   

Plaintiff had $34,000 settlement, and received $28,000 after legal fees, for a bad back.   Litigants met playing softball.   Plaintiff still receives $1237 a month disability, and his last two kids were after he was disabled. How nice, plaintiff brought his mommy to court with him. 

Case dismissed.  (In the hall-terview, both litigants claim the other is still in love with them

Yoga/Gym Merger Mess! -Plaintiff /yoga studio owner Lauren Rovira suing defendants Wendy and Charley Robinson for defrauding her in a business deal.   Plaintiff claims after she invested in the yoga/gym, that she was kicked out two months later, after defendants sold out to another person.  Plaintiff owned the yoga studio for two years, and defendants offered to have her move to their gym location, and have a combined operation.  

Plaintiff claims after she invested a lot of money with the defendants for improvements, that the defendants sold the gym, and never paid her a penny.   Plaintiff claims new owner tossed her out of the yoga/gym operation after two months.   Plaintiff submits the contract with defendants. 

Defendant wife claims the sales agreement is forged, and she had the real contract.    JJ doesn’t believe defendant wife’s lease is real.   The terms of the lease that defendant claims are legit, is ridiculous.   Defendant wife keeps claiming plaintiff forged the agreements. 

Defendant wife claims a written agreement / contract was modified orally, not happening.  

Plaintiff paid $3,000 for the attorney, and was evicted in July.      Plaintiff’s witnesses are the proposed buyer of the property with plaintiff, and the witness was a renter of the property.    Then. the prospective buyer who was a renter, bought the gym from defendants, and kicked out plaintiff.    Plaintiff is suing the buyer of the gym in small claims case after this case aired.

Plaintiff receives her money, defendant case dismissed.  Defendant wife claims plaintiff sent inappropriate texts to defendant husband.

Ex-Fiance Fight -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Deanna Stratton, suing defendant /ex-boyfriend Victor George over unpaid debts, for investments in his restaurant for equipment.   Defendant says equipment in restaurant was leased for his restaurant by plaintiff, for $26,000.    Defendant claims he paid Citibank for the table and chair purchase, but has no proof.  

Plaintiff claims she invested over $5,000 in the business, in credit card debt for tables, chairs, and other furnishings.     All of the bills for furnishings are delinquent, and in collections.   Table bill was $5800+, and that’s over the court maximum.   Defendant claims he made the monthly payments.   Defendant claims plaintiff quit the business, and his parents stepped in making payments, but has no proof.

If plaintiff wins the money will go directly to Citibank.  Defendant claims the money was an investment that went sour.

 Boiling Water Poured on High Roommate-Plaintiff Kyley Jones suing former roommate /defendant Octavia Camby (plaintiff, defendant and defendant's sister, Vanita Camby, were sharing an apartment that defendant’s sister was renting) for medical bills, for pouring boiling water on her when plaintiff was sleeping.   However, the police report says plaintiff (and both other roommates) were high on PCP.      Plaintiff says the cop was a fugazi officer (apparently means fake), and lied on the police report.   

Plaintiff was found outside the apartment building, wearing a hospital gown.    Doctor's report says plaintiff did have second degree burns, was wearing a hospital gown, and was altered by PCP use.   Plaintiff claims defendant poured boiling water on her.   Defendant says plaintiff pulled a pan off of the stove, and spilled the water on herself (JJ's rendition of the plaintiff's position is hysterical!).    As JJ points out, the doctor and police officer couldn't get a cogent story out of plaintiff.   

The other sister says they all used PCP, and need to stop.   

(A personal note, family friends had their adult son using PCP, and they had to call the police one night when he was standing in the living room, playing with a butcher knife, and announced they were all space aliens and had to die.   It took four people to subdue him, so he could go to the locked ward at a local hospital, and then for a very long stint at the state mental hospital.   He was never right mentally again, and the few times he went off his medication, it was scary.   

I bet since the litigants were all high on PCP, and the plaintiff was quite capable of pouring water on her lady bits, or the roommates could have, but there is no way of proving anything.   I think someone on PCP could do all kinds of bizarre and dangerous things, and I don't think JJ had any evidence that plaintiff didn't do it, or that defendant and sister did.   I've heard of people doing bizarre things to themselves and others on PCP, and I bet that plaintiff used her $5k award up quickly, and not for medical bills.)

(In the hall-terview the plaintiff is crying and wailing, and says she was just using weed that night.  However, I've been told by someone who really knows that many places weed is actually sprayed with PCP, or formaldehyde or other substances).   

Plaintiff gets $5k (I bet she poured the water on herself), and her hall-terview is bizarre.   

Tell the Truth-Plaintiff Kevin Ponce suing ex-roommate/defendant Aida Nunez for return of belongings she stole from him.    Defendant rented a room from the plaintiff in his apartment, with her two children.    Rent was $500.    Plaintiff claims she moved because of pot, and alcohol use by the plaintiff in the apartment.   When defendant moved out on 12 July, and plaintiff claims she stole his property when she moved out.

Plaintiff says defendant moved in on 13 May, and out on 12 July.    Defendant claims she moved in during July, and lived in Seattle during May and June, and now says she lived at her mother's place in June.     JJ calls defendant a fibber.   Defendant claims she lived in Seattle, then Orlando (where the apartment is) with plaintiff, and then moved to Naples with her mother.   

Plaintiff says lying defendant stole his Xbox, TV, his mattress, other electronics, and claims defendant's witness Samantha, was the accomplice.      I suspect the plaintiff is right about the defendant, and her witness.   The witness just won't shut up. 

Defendant claims she was fired from her job (in Orlando) after plaintiff harassed her there.  However, she claims she was living with her mother in Naples then, and commuting to Orlando, and that's not commuting distance at all.

Pregnancy False Alarm Vandal-Plaintiff Bayan Sanchez Guadron (18 years-old) suing ex-girlfriend/defendant Sabrina Perez (aka, Oliva)  (20 years-old) for vandalizing his car, and stalking (after they broke up).     Litigants met on the internet, and had a very short relationship.       Defendant told plaintiff she was pregnant on 4 June (in less than 10 days!).    Defendant claims they were still hooking up until mid-August.   

 Car vandalism was over Labor Day, 2016.  Police report on 15 June by plaintiff claims she was harassing him.   Plaintiff recognized defendant's car, and claims she was visiting his friend across the street.   In June plaintiff's tires were slashed.    Defendant claims they were boinking each other through August.   

September 6 (Labor Day weekend) plaintiff claims his car was keyed, after defendant was told to leave a friend's party to avoid the plaintiff, who was invited to the party.  Isaias is the plaintiff’s witness, and party host.   Defendant went home (across the street), and went back across the street to the party, claiming plaintiff's witness texted her to come back to the party.  Plaintiff has a text message of the defendant admitting she keyed his car. 

 They only started dating on 26 May, and defendant claimed to be pregnant on 4 June, and she claimed it was plaintiff's baby.   As JJ points out, who was the father?   It certainly wasn't the plaintiff.  They met on 26 May 2016, and broke up on 12 June.  Defendant claims she was sleeping with a friend of plaintiff, and that person lived across the street from plaintiff.    Defendant claims even after the break up with plaintiff, they were still boinking.  

Plaintiff has a text message of defendant admitting she keyed his car. 

Plaintiff receives $1800 for car keying damages. 

Mustang Mishap-Plaintiff Mallory Aristigui sold a Mustang for $700 to defendant Isaiah Hanna, in May 2015.    Defendant had the signed title, car was never registered in defendant's name, and car was impounded in August 2016.   

Defendant claims the car was going to be taken for parts, and it didn't need registration.    Defendant didn't have funds to register the car.   Defendant said plaintiff needed to go to the DMV to sign a release of liability, and he would have registered the car (with no money, and no smog test?).   

Plaintiff had to pay impound fees, $1665.  Since plaintiff's name was still on title and registration, she was on the hook for the car.

Bike was going North, skateboarder was going South.   Bike was on the right lane, skateboarder was on the wrong side of the road, stopped on the corner, and bike rider turned right, then skateboard was kicked up from the sidewalk gutter, and the skateboard was in front of bike, and there was no chance to evade by bike rider.   

JJ claims the plaintiff made the wrong-way skateboarder nervous, and the accident was plaintiff’s fault.   I disagree with JJ.   Defendant father wants $1,000, and gets nothing.    Plaintiff gets nothing.

Too Young to Live Alone    - Plaintiff Alexis Stotz suing defendant /former roommate Kaitlyn Wilson for a broken lease.      Plaintiff is too young to live on her own.    Plaintiff and brother moved into the apartment in March, with her brother, and he left in June, there was another roommate for a month, then Kaitlyn, defendant, moved in during August on the lease.  Defendant paid September's rent, $500 and has a receipt.     (Alexis says ‘beginningly)

Defendant says she had no choice but to break the lease and move. Defendant claims plaintiff wanted to move in some 18-year-old man who was going to sleep on the floor, and wanted to move in with a 16- year-old girlfriend.

Defendant moved out in October, to another apartment, with a real lease, and hopefully, better roommates.    Plaintiff claims defendant didn't pay for October, but isn't sure of anything about rent or utilities.   Defendant moved into another apartment in October, but plaintiff wants three months rent.

Everything dismissed.  (Hall-terview with plaintiff is sad, and disjointed).

Second (2014)-

Maced in the Face! -Plaintiff /car owner Danielle Sims suing defendant /neighbor and car owner Tierra Battle  for a car accident by defendant’s boyfriend, Ikeanthony Terry, who was driving with defendant’s permission on plaintiff’s parked car.  Accident was 2:30 a.m., when plaintiff heard a loud noise from the street, and saw two men get out of a Mercury, exiting from the driver’s and passengers side of the car.   Plaintiff’s car had been hit, and also another neighbor’s car was hit.   Plaintiff says Ikeanthony Terry  climbed out of the back seat of the car, and a friend of Mr. Terry was driving (Mr. D)., because Mr. Terry was maced at the bar by some random woman.    So, Mr. T.D. drove Ms Battles’ car home, because the other passenger has no license, and Mr. Terry couldn’t see to drive.   So, Mr. D was driving, saw a police officer, pulled over, because he apparently didn’t have a license either.   When Mr. D pulls over, he hands the keys to Mr. Terry, and the driver and passenger took off.  

Police report says defendant hit and ran, and was driving.   Neighbor’s car that was hit is SOL, because the defendant car owner has no insurance, so they will have to sue also.     Defendant car owner seems proud of her lack of insurance, because her car is a secondary car that no one drives, but  apparently no one with a license drives it.  Defendant boyfriend claims plaintiff hit his car, but plaintiff’s car was parked.

$5,000 to plaintiff for her car.

Divorced and Still Fighting! -Plaintiff Katherine Allen suing defendants Gregory Allen (plaintiff’s ex-husband) and defendant’s current wife Amy Luner-Allen, for the cost of a lien on the former marital home.  Plaintiff won the house and contents in the divorce, and when she went to sell the home, there was a lien because defendant ex-husband hadn’t paid child support, so there was a lien on the home.   Plaintiff had to pay the lien off to sell the house.  

Defendant husband doesn’t pay child support to plaintiff for their child, or for a previous child support from another marriage or relationship.    JJ says plaintiff took house ‘as is’ in divorce, and could have found out about liens on house or contents.   Lien was in place in 2003, and divorce was 2010, and plaintiff claims she didn’t know about the lien.    Do-it-yourself divorce by plaintiff come back to bite her in the ass.   Plaintiff says defendant ex never showed for the two divorce hearings, so she got everything she asked for.   Defendant ex- hasn’t paid child support, or seen the child in 2 years.   In over 2 years defendant ex- hasn’t gone to court for visitation, but claims he will be going to court soon.  

This all happened in Sacramento County, CA.

Defendant has a child with plaintiff, that is 14 years old, and a 23 year-old with a previous relationship, and he’s a stay at home dad.   He has no children with current wife, so who is he a stay at home dad for?  Yes, the current wife’s kids.  

JJ tells defendant wife, someday she’ll be in the same place the plaintiff is, and will be sorry she supported the dead beat husband.

After the sale, and paying the lien off, plaintiff ended up with $151 for her former home. 

Everything dismissed.

Repo Man Chased Down-Plaintiff Tommie Burns suing defendant/repo man Edward Kimball for repoing his car that he was behind on payments for, and wants damages for assault, and vandalizing his property.    Plaintiff claims he thought his behind on payments car was being stolen by defendant. 

 Defendant was towing the car with his tow truck, clearly labelled as ‘vehicle recovery’.  Defendant was hired by the repo company, that was told to repo the car by the finance company, Quality Auto Sales.   

Defendant says as he was securing the car on the tow device, plaintiff threatened him, stood on the running board, claims plaintiff punched him in the ribs several time, and grabbed the steering wheel, causing defendant to crash.      Police were not impressed by plaintiff's claims of 'theft' of his vehicle.     Plaintiff was taken to the hospital for his ‘injuries’, and was arrested there for assault.

Defendant had the right paperwork to repo the vehicle.   Plaintiff is lucky no one was hurt by the accident, caused by him.   Defendant's tow truck says the company name, ‘Northwest Recovery’ in big letters on it, and it was obviously a repo company.

Plaintiff's case dismissed. 

What's a Pyredoodle Puppy?-   Plaintiff Darlene St. John  suing for return of deposit for a Pyredoodle puppy (Pyrennes/Poodle cross) from defendant Jann Stewart.   Plaintiff picked a specific mother dog, Song.   Defendant took deposit on unborn puppy in February, and puppy was never given to plaintiff.    As usual, defendant says deposits are non-refundable, and she's not getting away with that.  Deposit was $500.   

Defendant says the designated dog is currently due with a litter in a month.   Defendant b-word tells JJ that she's not giving a refund, or a puppy, and JJ takes that rather badly (Please, just this once, let Byrd use the Fly Swatter of Death on the defendant).   

Defendant claims that Song is currently expecting, but has no proof of pregnancy from the vet.   When the idiot defendant says she's not doing a refund, the entire audience groans (they must realize they won't see hunky Officer Byrd beat the defendant with the Fly Swatter of Death).  

 Plaintiff wants a Pyrennes cross for a service dog! No one would ever use a Pyrennes cross for anything requiring obedience. (on defendant’s web site, when this originally aired, she clearly stated that she doesn’t take dogs to the vet, because ‘that’s where sick dogs go’).  (This happened in Phoenix, and they ship at eight weeks by air, for $1,000 total per puppy, plus about $300 shipping, and few extras). 

Plaintiff receives $500. 

Second (2017)-

Wild Pigs Bite-Plaintiff Laura Taylor claims defendant/neighbor's Kelli Braunecker pigs destroyed her garden, and wants to be paid for the destruction.    Police report says defendant admitted they were her pigs.   They live in a rural community.    Defendant has four pigs, and all are over 100 lbs.    Defendant says two weigh 30 lbs, and two weigh 50 lbs.   Plaintiff has pictures of the pigs, and they aren't 30 to 50 lbs.    The biggest one looks like 100 lbs., the other one on the playground video is well over 50 lbs. The video clip showing four pigs.  

Plaintiff has a video of the pigs destroying her garden, on her property, from July to October.    Defendant claims her pigs are always penned.    The pigs are destroying the plaintiff's playground area, and rooting up the back yard.   Plaintiff has called police four times, and seven times asked the plaintiff to keep her pigs confined.    Plaintiff says the pigs bite, and her children, and others in the neighborhood can't play outside because of the danger.       

Defendant brought baby pig pictures, and only one showing the big spotted pig in a kiddy pool, and it's the same pig as in the video.    Plaintiff says there have been 24 citations for animals at large from sheriff, and one from the health department for biting a neighbor.  Defendant keeps claiming that's not her pig, but are wild pigs, then JJ suggests shooting the destructive, and biting pigs is an option. 

Unfortunately, there is no animal control in the county area where litigants live.   Defendant shows a picture of a pig with kids, and claims her pigs don’t bite.   

What the neighborhood needs is a pig hunter, and a BBQ pitmaster.   This happened in Indiana.  JJ tells plaintiff that if they’re wild pigs, that the plaintiff or neighbors should shoot, and BBQ, and defendant can’t complain.  

(My understanding is that even the small piglets can get huge with overfeeding).

$5,000 to plaintiff. 

Sinking Boat-Plaintiff Larry Crowley is suing for the return of a boat trailer from defendant Linda Smithies.   Boat was stored, and plaintiff was authorized to sell it.    $2800 was the price (only the boat top was for sale, but defendant wanted the boat), and she paid in full for the boat.    This happened in Clackamas, Oregon. 

Defendant borrowed the trailer to transport the boat.   Defendant says she's not returning the boat trailer, because plaintiff sold her a bad boat.   I guess she can't read two words, "As is".   The first time the boat was launched it sank.   

Defendant bought boat in July, husband and son-in-law worked on boat, launched it and it sank.    She didn't take it to a mechanic until November, and didn't return the boat trailer then either.   In November woman finally got an estimate to fix the boat, then put it in storage, where it still remains.   

Defendant is counter suing for fraud on the boat.    Defendant bought a 30-year-old boat, and should have had an expert examine it.    Defendant claims plaintiff lied to her, said boat was wonderful, and perfect.     

Plaintiff receives his trailer back, with the help of a marshal.

Dog Barking, Cat Poisoning -Plaintiff Ticia Tinder (plaintiff actually has a married last name), suing defendant Cynthia Hill for spraying her laptop with water, and vandalizing her car.  Defendant broke her lease and moved, losing her security deposit for lease breaking.   

Defendant says she never touched plaintiff’s laptop or car, but claims plaintiff vandalized her car.  This started with an anonymous complaint about a barking dog, and HOA sent a complaint about barking dogs, (three Shih Tzus).     Plaintiff claims the ‘anonymous’ complaint was blamed on her by defendant.   There is a witness, Kerry Charles, another tenant who claims he saw defendant hitting plaintiff’s car with a hammer.    Then, plaintiff filed a police report, and filed for a restraining order against defendant.  

Plaintiff’s car cost $1513 to fix.    Next act is cats were poisoned, and then plaintiff was on her patio working with her laptop, and claims defendant watered her laptop and patio.   Plaintiff owned the two cats, and one died, they were indoor/outdoor cats.   Plaintiff claims the vets at the humane society blamed snail and slug poison. 

Defendant denies poisoning anything, vandalizing plaintiff’s car, and doing anything to the laptop.   JJ believes the witness for plaintiff.   JJ refuses to believe letters from previous tenants who moved because of harassment from plaintiff, who is in charge of the HOA board. 

I believe the defendant, and think plaintiff and her witness are just as evil as defendant says they are.  

(This was posted by someone else on page 13 of this forum “but post-episode research reveals that  plaintiff Ticia was, in 2008, stripped of her Registered Dental Assistant License for practicing dentistry (and posing as a dentist) without the proper credentials.”).   

Plaintiff receives $5,000 for harassment, and for everything else she claimed.

Give me Back My Ring! -Plaintiff Jessica Roberts suing defendant Tim Bambery over a $3,500 engagement ring.   Plaintiff claims she paid for the ring with her credit card, and wants ring back that defendant took with him when they broke up.   Balance is $958, and defendant paid most of the money for the payments, but plaintiff still has the $958 on her credit card.    

$958 to plaintiff, defendant keeps the ring.

Second (2014)-

Tax Return Rift -Plaintiff Angela Woodard suing defendant Richard Goolsby for not paying a $4,000 payment to given from plaintiff’s tax refund, for defendant to find a car for her.   Defendant says they were shacking up, she paid him the $4,000 to pay their bills, and plaintiff only wanted the money back when they broke up.

The two litigants lived with defendant’s sister.  Plaintiff’s children were living with her parents while she was living with defendant. Some money went for bills, and some paid off defendant’s possession probation $1,000 charges. 

JJ doesn’t believe plaintiff’s story about the car search, and $4,000 owed. 

Car Versus Tree -Plaintiff/older cousin Kokka Manson Coleman suing defendant /cousin  Timmesha Manson .  Plaintiff says when defendant moved back to North Carolina, she was plaintiff’s business manager, and had keys to two cars, and plaintiff’s beauty salon, at no salary.    Plaintiff suing cousin/defendant for damages when a tree fell on a car belonging to plaintiff.  Plaintiff claims defendant was unemployed and on parole, and plaintiff made her the unpaid business manager to help defendant.   I don’t understand how an unpaid ‘job’ helped defendant.

Plaintiff claims she told defendant to garage the car at her father’s home, and defendant says plaintiff told her to park it in front of the house.  If car had been in garage, homeowners insurance would have covered it, but it was parked outside, and it was an Act of G-d.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

A Mother's Revenge on Her Son's Ex-Plaintiff/former Mother-in-Law Patricia Reynante is suing defendant/ former daughter-in-law Jowenne Paredes for legal fees and harassment, former DIL is counter suing for the same.    Each litigant says that the other harassed them, and caused them to need to hire an attorney.    Defendant, and plaintiff's son lived together for a few years, but were married for less than a year.     The parents have 50-50 custody, and grandchild/daughter goes to school at the defendant's location.   

Defendant tried to get an order of protection against plaintiff, for trying to stab DIL in back, and defendant has a three-year protective order against ex-MIL.    Both litigants had attorneys, for the custody case, and the protective order case.    Also, both sides had mutual protective orders for three years.   

MIL/plaintiff wanted visitation with granddaughter, after protective order was granted, son (plaintiff's son, and defendant's ex) couldn't have visitation with daughter/granddaughter because she lives with her son, and the protective order interferes.   Plaintiff son says mother, and father moved in after financial reverses, and they still live in the son's home.   

Exes (plaintiff's son, and ex-wife) both say the other is a good parent to the daughter/granddaughter.    JJ rightly says plaintiff is a pot stirrer (you can supply what JJ was really wanting to say).   JJ is so right, the plaintiff lives to ruin other people's lives, and cause drama.     

Plaintiff claims 911 called her son, and the granddaughter had locked herself in the bathroom, in fear of the mother.    However, the school and church don't allow the plaintiff to attend child's function because of the restraining order.    Defendant has a restraining order against the former mother-in-law.   Because of the restraining order against MIL, the granddaughter can’t visit the father’s home, because the MIL lives there.

Case dismissed, and defendant is right, plaintiff is terrifying.

Homeless and Looking for Payback-Plaintiff Samantha Stewart suing ex roommate/defendant Joseph Figlock for destroyed property, kept her belongings, and a false protective order.    Defendant says they lived in the same place as tenants for five years, and for a while they were romantic.    Plaintiff denies the litigants were ever romantic.    Plaintiff never paid rent at all, but lived there for five yearsDefendant says the plaintiff called police three times about him, but he was never arrested, or charged.    

Plaintiff says she never paid rent because she was working on her a case against her by the state of Oregon, about her child.   (No, it didn't make any sense to me either).   

Plaintiff finally moved out to some boyfriend's place, but left her junk behind (let me guess, it will be claimed to be worth $5000).     Finally, defendant dumped her junk.   

Defendant says plaintiff would move in and out for weeks at a time, but return, and finally moved out.   Plaintiff, and boyfriend are now living in his car for the last two months.   Plaintiff moved out, has been full time with the boyfriend for over three months, and defendant finally dumped the junk.  

Unfortunately, many jurisdictions would say the woman was a legal tenant, and would have to be legally evicted.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.    (I absolutely believe everything the defendant said about the plaintiff).

Second (2017)-

Childcare Center Revenge-Plaintiff Evelyn Williams suing defendant/former childcare center employer, Patricia Rushing (center owner) and (employee) LaToya Johnson for unpaid wages, child endangerment, and a broken window.      Plaintiff was homeless, and defendant (owner) gave her a job, a place for plaintiff and child to live, and child care.     Plaintiff claims she gave up previous subsidized housing because it was dangerous.   

Plaintiff claims the money defendant loaned her was taken out of her paycheck, defendant disagrees. There were state subsidies for the day care for plaintiff.    .    Plaintiff also made complaints about the safety of the childcare center, but her child was still attending the center.      

After the CPS complaint, by plaintiff, defendant day care center operator fired the plaintiff that night.   The day the complaint was made, and CPS visited, defendant took the child and gave her to her mother (plaintiff) to care for, and fired the plaintiff.  Defendant met plaintiff at a BBQ place so plaintiff wouldn’t come back to the daycare.   Plaintiff's witness is a buddy of plaintiff, and claims she saw child care owner manhandle the plaintiff’s baby at the BBQ place.

Plaintiff claims she is owed $280, but plaintiff wants the pay without the taxes withheld (Plaintiff is given the check, minus taxes).    Plaintiff claims the daycare owner broke her window, and plaintiff was going to the police HQ, to make a petition for a restraining order.  Plaintiff, claims defendant daycare worker called her on the phone, and broke plaintiff’s apartment window so she could hear it over the phone.   

Counter claim by defendant is about damage to her business from a false CPS report by plaintiff.   Plaintiff doesn't know when she worked for the defendant.    Plaintiff's complaint was about bugs in the water fountain, and bugs in the refrigerator.    Plaintiff also claims that at some time a table fell on a baby.    Defendant employee says plaintiff As JJ says, plaintiff is a big fat liar.

Plaintiff's case dismissed.   Defendant gets $1500 for false CPS report, and audience applauds.  

Man's Mani/Pedi Fail-     Plaintiff Adam Pears suing nail shop owner/defendant Bao Nguyen for getting parafin on his jeans, while softening his hands with a parafin treatment.    Plaintiff claims the way the defendant had the jeans treated to remove the wax damaged the color of the jeans (or something like that).  Plaintiff can’t even find the ‘faded’ section of the jeans.   

Plaintiff also claims wax was very hot and burned his hands (no doctor report).   There is no proof of injury to plaintiff.    

Case dismissed, because it's stupid.

Stolen Pit Bull Puppies- Plaintiffs Marlon Leon and Corey Credic suing defendant Natalie Abbey over her theft of their Pit Bull puppies.   Out of seven puppies in the litter, two died shortly after birth, but plaintiff didn't take the other puppies to the vet.   Plaintiff Leon's dogs are all kept at the grandmother's house.      Leon breeds dogs for money, keeps them outside in the cold, without shelter, and no vet care.

Since plaintiff Credic paid plaintiff Leon $300 for a puppy, he's told to get his $300 from Leon.   Plaintiff Leon says they were registered, but they're UKC, not AKC of course.   The second puppy was cared for by a neighbor, not taken to a vet.  Plaintiffs’ dogs, and puppies are always outside, even in the cold, without shelter. 

Plaintiff says he asked neighbor defendant about the dogs, since she's a dog walker that works at a vet. 

 Defendant Natalie Abbey says the puppies were huddled against the house wall, and were skinny, lethargic, and sick.    This was the second litter of the same mother dog, owned by Marlon Leon.     The four remaining puppies were rescued by defendant, and taken to a vet, and one was adopted out, and three were taken to a rescue.   The defendant's neighbor called her for help with the first puppy, and it was taken to a 24-hour emergency vet, and puppy was euthanized.    Defendant says puppy died of Parvo. 

One puppy was surrendered to the vet clinic.   the remaining four were taken to defendant's home, puppies were warmed up, and later a friend of plaintiff came for the one puppy.    The defendant called animal services immediately about the puppies.    Defendant kept one puppy, and that one was adopted out.  The other two were surrendered to a shelter.   

(I loathe the plaintiff and his puppy buying friend.   The backyard breeder hadn't even registered that he owned the dog, and that's only one parent anyway.    Bet the paperwork to change ownership, and registration is still waiting to be filed.    When he left court and said he was going to do the registration, and sell the puppies for $1,000 to $1,500 each, that said exactly why he was into breeding the puppies.).

Plaintiff's case dismissed.   

(Several years ago, I knew someone who showed dogs, but they only bred their own replacement dogs, and were very active in rescue situations for the breed.    UKC wasn't his favorite, but the one he really disliked was CKC -Continental not our friends to the North.     He knew someone who sent a registration application, with a photo of his guinea pig, and received 'registration' papers from CKC for a made-up dog breed).

Slapped for Cheating? – Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Nelida “Maria” Sandoval suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Sam Rodriguez  for filing a false restraining order, unpaid money, and vandalizing her car.  Plaintiff wants back rent, dismissed.   Defendant says he filed for the restraining order for stalking him, slapping him and vandalizing his car.  Defendant says he wants property back from her house, and loaned her money she never repaid.

Plaintiff wants lost wages, they worked at the same place, and she claims defendant told her not to go to work, and expenses for the restraining order he filed against her.    Defendant moved out of plaintiff’s home, and then filed for the protective order the next day.   Defendant says plaintiff showed up at a friend’s house at 2:00 a.m. (I’m guessing female friend).    When another tenant opened the door, an ex-nun, plaintiff pushed past her, and confronted the defendant.   Defendant says plaintiff drove 100 miles from Fontana to Los Angeles, to confront defendant, and she slapped him.  

Defendant says after the restraining order, plaintiff applied for three different restraining orders against defendant, and all three were denied.

Plaintiff case dismissed, and $2000 to defendant for harassment. 

Friendship Fraud? -Plaintiff Giancarlo Eiras suing defendant Dustin Pestano for parking tickets, and car insurance.     This case concerns a missing car, a suspended license, and fraud.  Defendant says he bought the Lexus for $5,000, and put it in plaintiff’s name, and plaintiff had insurance in defendant’s name, because defendant’s license was suspended, so it was fraud.

Plaintiff gets zero money, because he came to court with dirty hands, and defrauded the state, and the insurance company.

Defendant says the car disappeared, and no one is telling where it went.  This was after defendant’s license was reinstated, and title was put in defendant’s name.  Note to defendant, cars are stolen all of the time, especially a Lexus.

Abuse of the Justice System-Plaintiff Scott Sylvester suing defendants/former co-worker, and roommate Joshua Sumrow for lost wages, rent, and security deposit.    The litigants worked at a Ramen restaurant, and decided to be roommates.  They roomed together for two months.

 The next month the plaintiff went to a party at defendant's place, and they argued. Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted him.   The next day defendant said he was taking plaintiff to small claims (as usual, plaintiff's cell phone is new, so he doesn't have the text messages).   Plaintiff files small claims case in October, and service about the case was the plaintiff's mother giving him the paperwork, the two men still worked together.    Defendant claims he gave $250 to plaintiff, but plaintiff says defendant never paid him a penny.

The day after the small claims notice, the defendant filed a protection order.   Defendant was granted the TRO, citing the incident at his house.    As JJ says, the defendant abused the system in filing the protective order.   The protective order barred the plaintiff from going to work, because they worked together. 

 JJ will give the plaintiff lost wages, because the false protective order filing prevented the plaintiff from going to work, $1500.

You Should Know Better by Now-    Plaintiff /former tenant of transitional shelter Alana Rader is  suing defendant Timothy Walker for getting rid of her property.   Plaintiff left her property at some kind of transitional shelter for women, and she left it behind for seven months.   

Plaintiff had no lease on the storage area, and never paid anything for using the area.    When new renter/defendant rented the property, he found pieces of furniture, deteriorated furniture, so defendant got rid of the trash.   Plaintiff claimed that she called the defendant, and told him she was getting her stuff.   Defendant rented the property from the landlord to keep running the transitional shelter for women. 

Defendant had the previous owner notify everyone who had items in the storage area, or housing to get their items out before 1 November.    When defendant took possession of the property, he got rid of leftover junk. 

 JJ calls the woman a hustler, and dismisses the case.

Child Hit by Car! -Plaintiffs/parents Jordan and Erichia Green suing defendant/motorist Anthony Smith for hitting their 7-year-old daughter when she ran between two cars and right in front of the defendant.  Little girl suffered a broken Tibia.   Initial claim was for medical bills, but the bills were covered by insurance.   Now parents are suing for pain and suffering, and his lost wages.  

Plaintiff parents weren’t even watching their 7 year-old daughter. 

Defendant was driving a Volvo, it was insured.    The day after the accident the plaintiff father consulted an attorney.    Defendant grew up in the neighborhood, but recently moved out, and was going to his friend’s house, across and up a few houses down the street from plaintiffs. 

Defendant was driving his stepmother’s car, which is insured.    Defendant is a medical student, and I wonder if future earnings account for father consulting the attorney the day after the accident?  Monge & Associates dropped the case six months later, because the general release cancelled law suit.   Medicaid paid the medical bills, not defendant’s insurance company.  

Defendant’s parents were dropped by insurance company after the accident.  Car belonged to defendant’s stepmother, and he wasn’t named on the policy, so the insurance wouldn’t pay plaintiffs, so attorney dropped the case.   Journei (the little girl) claims she looked both ways before crossing, and I think she's been coached to say that.  

I think JJ was way too hard on the defendant, he was going slow, watching for people running across the street, and the child ran out from behind a parked car.   If he would have been going faster, then the child would have been badly injured or dead.    

Plaintiff case is dismissed for lost wages, but Journei gets $1,000 for pain and suffering.

Caught on Tape! -Plaintiffs /former tenants Carrie and Derek McNerney suing defendant /landlord Annette Hancock  for breaking their lease and harassment.  Lease was for 1-year, signed by both parties, with security and first month, rent due date, and rent amount, so it’s valid. Plaintiffs and four kids moved in 1 June.

Then, defendant called wife and said as of 1 September that defendant and family would be moving back, and they should move to the small side of the house. Two days after tenants moved in, police showed up looking for defendant, because she didn’t have permission to leave the state (probation I guess).    Defendant refused to give 30-day notice to plaintiffs to move, and the end of September defendant showed up at the house.    

Plaintiffs say in the middle of the night, defendant was doing donuts in the yard, cutting off the house power. Tenants say landlord was a nightmare, and tried to drive them out of the house.   Police told defendant she had no right to get into the house, and if she broke in that they would charge her with home invasion.   Defendant agreed to live in the pole barn until she could give notice to tenants, and she could move back into the house.  

Defendant had no right to evict, since she hadn’t given 30-day notice to quit, and tenants were up to date on rent.    Plaintiffs received a HUD/VA voucher for Section 8, and defendant’s harassment kept up.  Defendant was living in the pole barn without water or electricity.   Plaintiffs have police report and video of strangers trying to cut the power off again.   The video of defendant doing donuts on the lawn, and is shown on camera threatening the tenants.

Defendant told to submit before and after photos, defendant told to stuff it.

Plaintiffs receive $5,000 for harassment and illegal eviction.   

Sucker Punch – Plaintiff Regina Larrie suing defendant Darren Harrington for assaulting her, after she pushed him away.  The litigants were at a small gathering at a friend's place, and plaintiff claims defendant touched her butt, and she pushed him away and told him not to touch her like that again.   Plaintiff claims defendant punched her in the face.   

Defendant says he never touched the plaintiff, but claims she was drunk and shoved him.   Defendant claims everyone at the party was drinking heavily, and he was the one assaulted, not plaintiff.

Dishonest Damages? -Plaintiff/former tenant Cerra and Gabriel Smiddy suing defendant/landlord Susan Van Rooy.   Landlord claims she couldn’t afford a cleaning lady and she wanted tenants to pay for her cleaning service.  When plaintiffs moved out, the new landlord called defendant for a reference, and defendant claims tenants damaged her house.   Plaintiffs had to pay defendant more money to clear up the damage claim.   

On the 30-day written notice to tenants, defendant claimed cleaning fees, for cleaning her house.   Defendant paid $40 for cleaning, and plaintiffs paid $40 for the cleaning, for defendant’s house. 

Plaintiffs had to pay $1406 to defendant so she would tell new landlord that plaintiffs were good tenants.  

Plaintiff’s witness testifies against them for defendant about the defamation.

Defendant claims she got Valley Fever from mold from the tenants bad housekeeping.   However, according to Dr. Google this is a fungus found in the soil in the Southwest U.S., and recently in a few other states.   I lived in the Southwest for years, and Valley Fever is tough to treat, and not from house mold. 

Plaintiffs receive their claim, and defendant loses.

Defendant was in jail, expected to get out in time to do the catering, but didn’t.  Defendant also didn’t give the payments back to plaintiff, and spent the money.

Basketball, Lies and the Police-Plaintiff Cheryl Brown suing neighbor Lamont Turner because his 11-year-old son Lamon kicked her car.   There is a police report that the son states that he kicked the car, and he then lies to JJ.    11-year-old claims woman called him nasty names.   

The plaintiff didn't return the ball that was on her lawn, and sorry JJ that is her right as a property owner.  Plaintiff says she picks up jackets, trash, and balls on her lawn regularly. 

 (Trust me, if some kids were using JJ's yard as a playground, she would be livid.   Plus, my insurance agent said that if someone gets injured on my property, I'm liable, so I don't put up with kids or anyone using my yard).   

$700 for plaintiff.  

Wedding Kiss and Make-Up-Plaintiff Alexandra Butler make-up artist suing former client/defendant Miisha Clarkfor a false charge back on Pay Pal.  Plaintiff and defendant signed a contract to do defendant's wedding party's makeup for a year later.   $905 was the deposit.   

Date of wedding changed earlier, and defendant told makeup artist about the change, but funds were non-transferable, or refundable.   However, the only cancellation / refund is if plaintiff couldn’t make the event, and couldn’t find a substitute make-up artist.  

The contract was not signed, but plaintiff says the payment equals signing, no it doesn't work like that.   Nothing in the contract says non-refundable, or non-transferrable to another date.   

Defendant has the $931 back already, and keeps it (Pay Pal reversal was paid to her). 

Second (2017)-

Angry Brother Vandal   -Plaintiff/sister Shafieh Bryant suing brother/defendant Richard Blake for getting mad in an argument over Halloween candy, and claims he destroyed a TV, and slashed plaintiff's tires.   Plaintiff let brother host a crab dinner at her apartment, and there was an argument with the sister over the phone.  The argument was about him eating her kid's Halloween candy.   (Note to litigants, candy is half price all over town on Halloween and for days after, so next time buy a few bags for yourself).       

Plaintiff witness says man was angry after arguments with sister, and poured a full pitcher of water into the TV, and then he slashed the sister's tires.  Plaintiff says front door was propped wide open, two TVs were full of water, and the police were called.    Unfortunately for defendant, JJ doesn’t believe defendant’s claims that someone else did this  (the Other Dude Did It Defense).

Defendant brother says the plaintiff's witness is lying about seeing him do this, and claims witness is an ex-friend with an ax to grind (or maybe he took her candy too).   

 $1500 to plaintiff.   

Don't Give Away My Cat-Plaintiff Nathan Mitchell suing for defendant Matthew Lawson, stealing his cat, and giving the cat away.    They are both long haul truck drivers, plaintiff went to visit his fiance in the Philippines, and needed a cat caretaker for the 30 days.    They were supposed to meet up in May, and plaintiff would get the cat back.    They were talking on the phone when plaintiff returned to Phoenix.

Defendant claims plaintiff didn't contact him for over two weeks after returning, and it ended up being two months caring for the cat.        Defendant told plaintiff that he had to go on the road to get more money, and his pregnant fiance couldn't change the litter box.   So the defendant found a lovely home for the cat, and plaintiff gets nothing.  Defendant is counter suing for lost wages, and pet supplies, for $3500.  

The defendant and fiance advertised for a home for the cat, and it apparently has an owner that doesn't leave the cat for two full months.     Defendant will not get pet sitting fees, no contract with plaintiff.    Instead of three weeks, the cat was there eight weeks.   Defendant has no receipts, so no money.   The defendant actually cancelled several trips to stay home and scoop cat litter.   

Both cases dismissed.

Dying Cat’s Rescue -Plaintiff Tammy Poling (soon to be divorced from defendant’s husband’s brother) suing defendant Cindy Lantz for repayment of the $1100 loan for cat surgery.     Sisters-in-law are fighting over adultery, a dying cat, and the cost of emergency surgery.   Plaintiff gave or loaned defendant $1100, for the dying cat’s surgery.  Then defendant husband told plaintiff’s husband that plaintiff wife was cheating on him (plaintiff husband, and defendant husband are brothers, I think, but maybe that’s wrong).  

Cat had a urinary blockage, and cat had to have surgery or it would die.      So, defendant wife called plaintiff for money, and plaintiff used credit card for the surgery, follow up vet bills, and a few other fees, so a total of $1736.       Also, defendant’s adult son was babysitting with the infirm grandmother, but he left her for a while anyway. 

After defendant husband ratted out plaintiff wife to her husband about the affair, then plaintiff wanted her money repaid.  Defendant husband says plaintiff wife wanted him to cover for her affair with a co-worker, and friend of defendant’s husband.     It was only after the repayment of the money came up that the affair was disclosed to plaintiff’s husband, by defendant’s husband. 

Plaintiff claims she was going to give the defendants time to get the money together, and plaintiff paid off the credit bills in full every month.   However, defendant only paid $200 on the cat’s bill at the vet’s and nothing to plaintiff.

JJ doesn’t think it was a loan, but a nice gesture from plaintiff to her nephew.  However, defendant wife said she would pay back the plaintiff.   JJ doesn’t think there was a contract with defendant at the vet office.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Crashes and Lies -Plaintiff/sister Kaneshia Davis suing defendant/sister Shemeka Davis over totaling her car.   A Halloween night car crash leaves the litigant sisters fighting.  Plaintiff used defendant’s car a few times, and defendant is counter claiming for plaintiff leaving the car messy.

Defendant blames the accident on the heavy rain that day, and evening, but yet she took her two kids (ages 4 and 8) out in the bad weather.    What the hell kind of cheap, ugly two toned wig is on defendant’s head?  

Defendant claims sister wanted her money after plaintiff’s replacement car was repo’d.    There is no police report about fault in defendant’s accident. As usual accident was a mysterious truck on defendant’s side of the road, and they drove away.

$1500 to plaintiff. Everyone hugs in the hall.

Second (2014)-

Drug Dealer? -Plaintiff/car buyer Brittany Martin suing defendant/car seller Donna Youngblood   for return of payments, and insurance payments on repo’d car.   Plaintiff was buying the car from defendant, by taking over the payments.   Plaintiff would give the payments to defendant who would pay them to the car dealership (defendant had a second car she was driving).  

 Car owner repo’d car after finding out buyer was selling synthetic pot (Spice?) out of the vehicle.   Defendant’s witness saw the weed sale, and bought from plaintiff too.  Defendant claims plaintiff was letting an unlicensed driver use the car.   The unlicensed driver is plaintiff’s roommate / girlfriend, Ashley Bolitho, and her co-dealer according to defendant witness.  Defendant is manager who works with plaintiff, and defendant witness.  

JJ doesn’t believe the defendant’s witness. 

Defendant had the right to repo the car, for non-payment, and unlicensed driver.  Unlicensed plaintiff witness was driving two and from her work, and picking up Brittany from work, and drove all five months plaintiff had the car.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Sitting Party Damage -Plaintiff / home owner Angela Marinakis suing defendant /former room renting tenant Cari Sims for house damages after an unauthorized party, and for making porn in their home (actually alleged porn was photographed with participants in home owner’s bed).  Plaintiff has pictures of damages, and wants $5,000.  (This happened in PA, but defendant now lives in Las Vegas).

Plaintiff says damaged computer was used to make porn in plaintiff’s bed by defendant, and claims defendant broke the computer.   Damages include nail polish on the coffee table.  Plaintiff’s closet shelf and rod were pulled out and on the floor, and jewelry box was broken and no jewelry was around.

JJ thinks the closet rod could have just happened, and the jewelry stealing is discounted too.  Defendant was in the condo without plaintiff there for two weeks. 

Plaintiff gets $200 for coffee table, a little for floor damages, and computer replacement $1400.   

$1400 to plaintiff.

Daughter Steals $10K from Mother?     -Plaintiff Penny Webb suing defendant/daughter Shelby Webb   for her settlement ($18,000) she entrusted to her daughter, so mother wouldn't spend it foolishly.  Plaintiff admits she has a history of alcoholism, and making bad choices.  Daughter claims mother told her to spend part of it on daughter's wedding, mother says that's a lie.   Plaintiff received a disability settlement for COPD, and Asthma.   

Plaintiff has been off work since 2002, and applied for disability after quite a few years on welfare.   Plaintiff was turned down the first time she applied for disability, hired an attorney and received disability the second time.   Plaintiff says she called daughter to hold the $18,000 check, so mother wouldn't waste it.   Plaintiff gets $1186 a month disability,

Plaintiff has a lifelong history of alcoholism, and finally went to rehab for a month in 2016, and has repeated failed attempts to get and stay sober.   Plaintiff claims the $10K was not a disqualifier for qualifying for disability.    Plaintiff gave daughter cash, wanted $8000 to bank for CD, and daughter was supposed to hold cashier's check for $10k, $5,000 to CD, and keep the rest held back, and $4k for daughter's wedding.   

(Mother claims her sworn complaint, and statement is really wrong, and she's really being robbed by her daughter). 

Case is dismissed.    Sadly, daughter's hall-terview where she says she's over being her mother's parent, and putting up with mother's lies is probably the best way to go forward.    You can't convince me that the mother is still sober.  

Hawaiian Cash Flow Fail-Plaintiff Christina Lewis suing defendant/daughter's former friend Irene Tully for a expenses paid for a group trip to Hawaii.    There have been several other previous trips with plaintiff, her daughter, and friend going along without incident, or loans.   The arrangement was defendant paid for airfare, and that was paid by defendant's parents.  There were no extra hotel costs, and defendant paid for her own food.    Defendant goes to school full time, works part time, and seems like a good person.   

Defendant and plaintiff's daughter had an argument, and are no longer friends, so now the money was a loan, not a gift.    Defendant says argument was because plaintiff, and her daughter kept making remarks about defendant's mother, and other personal issues. 

Idiot plaintiff advances on the Sacred Desk of Judge Judy, and Byrd has to stop her.  Doesn't she ever watch this show?    Unfortunately, there are texts about owing money for dolphin excursions, etc. totaling $375, but some aren't really separate costs.   

Plaintiff gets $250.   

Second (2017)-

Heartbreaking Mother/Daughter Identity Theft-Plaintiff/ daughter (23) Lashapale Copes suing her defendant/mother Jzenita Copes for identity theft, ruining her credit.      Daughter lived with mother for a year at about 17, before that stepmother, grandmother.    When daughter was 17, she lived with the mother, and that's when the identity theft happened.    

Mother/defendant admits to being incarcerated on three counts of identity theft, and was incarcerated for two years.    Defendant claims she never stole daughter's identity, or signed up for an apartment lease, or utilities, using her daughter's name. 

The daughter found out about the identity theft when she received an eviction notice on her mother's apartment, when daughter was 17, and mother was using her social security number, and name.      There is also a utility bill in daughter's name, but she never lived there.   The credit report for daughter is full of evictions, past due utility charges, and other financial items, totaling $10k.       

Daughter lives with stepmother, paying $100 a month, and Section 8 pays the rest, at the time of the show filming.   Daughter doesn't qualify for a car loan, to drive Uber, that’s all because she was refused because of the bad credit report.  Daughter can't even get a bank account with many banks because of the back charges.    Daughter should write the mother off, and file police reports on the thefts.    Then as an identity theft victim, get another social security number, and dispute everything she can on the credit reports.  (Jzenita Copes has a long history of convictions, some after this case aired). 

The defendant is a total jerk, and doesn't care that her daughter is crying from being ripped off by the mother.  

(My personal opinion is embezzlers, and identity theft should be punished with real time in jail, meaning years.   Must identity theft (75% I've read) is by relatives.  I'm shocked the so-called mother actually received prison time before, and I hope prosecutors saw this case, and sent her back to prison for years.   Embezzling, and identity theft need to be punished for what they are, they're stealing a person's entire life).   

$5,000 to plaintiff.    Defendant should be ashamed, but never will be.  

Deer Takes Another Car Down-Plaintiff Heather Snyder suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Joshua Haga for unpaid loan to buy a car.   Defendant needed a car, so plaintiff took out a cash advance/loan for loser ex.   

It's hysterical when defendant says he has no loan on the car, because he pays the dealership every month (that's called a car loan you idiot).    Byrd seems to think defendant is funny, and stupid.   (The audience members are trying very hard not to laugh, and get yelled at).  He doesn't understand insurance deductibles either.  

What a shock, car was bought in July, paid in August, and he stopped making payments in October, in November he hit a deer, and had no gap insurance, and a $500 deductible.   The lack of gap insurance is telling to me, that usually comes with the loan and insurance unless you've had issues before.   Defendant never paid the down payment back, $1800, and $1937 with first month's insurance.   Six weeks after the car purchase, defendant dumped her.   However, plaintiff says she dumped him after he became controlling.         Car was repossessed after defendant stopped paying, after the wreck in November.   

$1937 to plaintiff.

ATV Hit and Run -Plaintiff/home owner  Michael Kellem suing defendant/father Donald Reed of  two delinquent children for the children hitting plaintiff’s house, garage, and car with their ATV, and took off like little cowards.  There were two little boys on the off road size ATV, and two other kids on a red Barbie car that stayed in the street.    The day in question the kids were alone on the ATV, and the others in the Barbie car.  Plaintiff was looking out his picture window, kids missed the cul-de-sac turn, slammed into the house right below the window plaintiff saw the event through.  Plaintiff was worried about the children being injured.     After the children ran the ATV into the house/garage/car, plaintiff saw the father sneaking up to the ATV, and telling the kids that they’re getting away now before they get caught.    Defendant dropped his jumper cables in plaintiff’s driveway, and plaintiff brought them to court to give to the defendant.  Plaintiff said he saw the defendant’s kids ram his garage door, which damaged the garage door, and the car inside the garage.     Then, plaintiff and a neighbor saw the defendant load the ATV into a F-150, and take the ATV away.  Garage door is a total loss.     

Plaintiff witness Loyce, didn’t know the plaintiff before this, she saw the ATV hit, saw the entire get away with defendant and his kids.  

Defendant lies to JJ, and says his kids weren’t home that day, and didn’t do it, he has three boys, ages 7, 6, and 5.  Defendant claims the plaintiff is a racist, his kids weren’t home that day, and everyone is out to get him.  

$1250 to plaintiff for garage door, and car damages.  

Sugar in the Gas Tank Threat - Plaintiff Tameka Turner, is suing defendant /cousin Aliciea Davis, for repossessing her car.   Defendant let her sister-in-law drive her car, no license, and car was impounded.   Plaintiff would get car out of impound , and plaintiff would drive the car until defendant paid the impound fees off, but never did.   

Defendant took her car back, without paying the impound fees.  Defendant says plaintiff sugared her gas tank that night.   Plaintiff says car was impounded, and repo'd at the same time, because plaintiff says defendant was behind on car payments.   Impound fees, and two payments equaled $1198.

Defendant says because she argued with plaintiff the night before, that plaintiff put the sugar in the gas tank.    Defendant's witness is such a liar, and was the accomplice to stealing the car back.  

$1198 to plaintiff.  For the impound and car payments.

Second (2014)-

Dog Training Disaster -Plaintiffs/Chinese Crested dog owners Matthew Coons and fiance Nicole De Graan suing defendant/trainer Dane Lightfoot for failing to train their dogs, and want their fees back.   Plaintiff claims the dogs are 6-year-old Chinese Crested longhair dogs.    Dogs have ongoing bad behavior that are getting worse.    Dogs are around plaintiff’s two daughters, 9 and 11, and Mr. Coons, and around other people fairly often.    Plaintiff woman paid $1100 to defendant, to take one dog one week, and the second dog the other week, to try to retrain the dogs.

Plaintiffs say dogs are just as bad as they ever were.  Defendant’s flyer about training has no guarantees dogs will permanently change.  There is a video of the dogs’ bad behavior.   JJ mentions that if you don’t house train a dog by a year of age, they’ll probably never be reliably trained.  

Plaintiffs wanted dogs to stop jumping on visitors, would be able to be walked calmly by the two daughters, and stop whining and barking constantly.     Plaintiffs say defendant guaranteed that dogs would meet the three goals of plaintiff, but it says if they find a non-shock collar trainer who can retrain the dogs, for under $1500 he will refund their money.   After six years, the plaintiff thinks the dogs will still be trainable?  

Plaintiff case dismissed.   

Family Damages -Plaintiff/home owner Beverly Utley suing defendant/niece Kendra Ogletree for unpaid rent, and trashed the house.   Plaintiff rented the home to her niece, and really regrets it.   (This case is reason #5978 why I would never be a landlord, especially renting to a relative).   Plaintiff claims niece owes her rent, because after defendant moved, she left a lot of stuff in the house garage, so she’s still occupying the house technically. 

Plaintiff agree to dismiss an unlawful detainer against niece if she would leave.   Defendant claims she left nothing at the house, but the garage is full of defendant’s stuff, and she has to pick it up.  Plaintiff gave a rent receipt for each month’s rent.   Defendant claims she got tired of waiting for aunt to do house repairs, and took that off of the July and August rent.   The ‘repairs’ include putting up curtains, doing gardening, etc.    

Photos of damages when defendant moved out include a giant hole in the drywall, that I bet is at least 2’ x 4’.   Photos show a lot of stuff left in the house by niece, including stacks of cardboard boxes.   There are pictures of niece’s stuff in the garage that niece left, the garage is at least half full with stuff. 

Plaintiff gets $4500 for the stuff being in the house for three months. (in hall-terview defendant says she

Child Support Feud! -Plaintiff/ grandmother Debra Hartzel suing defendant/grandchild's mother and defendant’s ex wife Mandy Hansel (former daughter in law, with two of her grandchildren), and her husband Shawn Hansel (they have three children) for an unpaid loan.   

Defendant and wife were behind in a mortgage from plaintiff's son, and defendant man wanted to use child support for the mortgage.  Plaintiff's son gave defendant $400, and was going to pay him $1100, but didn't do the $1100.   Defendant wife and plaintiff talked, and they borrowed it from the plaintiff, $1000, and $1100 the next day.   

On the way to pick up the money, the defendant was told there was an issue in the house purchase, but the deposits were made anyway.   Defendant claims the $2100 was for back child support for plaintiff's son.  Repayment was supposed to be from defendant's tax refund, that would be credited to the son's money owed for child support.   (Defendant and son's ex-wife have two kids together, and one more on the way).

Latest dust up was grandson wanted to live with the father, over Christmas vacation, but son didn't return to his home.   Defendant took police to get grandson from father and grandmother's house.    When grandson was picked up at father's house, son was high as a kite, and so was the father.   Grandmother lies about trying to sign that same grandson out of school illegally.     

Plaintiff case is not going to get cash, but defendant will send $2100 through the child support office, to pay back the loan, and reduce the plaintiff's son's child support bills.   With the $2100 paid off, the plaintiff’s son is still $5,000 behind on child support for his two children.

Everything dismissed.   

Don't Prey on My Daughter-Plaintiff Diana Cruz suing defendant/former neighbor LaDonna Lathon for a damaged storage shed, and property inside the shed.   Plaintiff's late mother owned two properties, one was bought by the defendant.     When mother went into rest home, and later died, plaintiff moved out and rented a room.   (This was in Clarksburg, WV).

Plaintiff says the neighbor talked the druggie daughter , Natasha into selling neighbor the wrecked shed, and contents for $75.   Plaintiff claims she could have lived in mother's house, after mother died, except the city of Clarksburg condemned the house.   Neighbor/defendant who bought house, bought shed from plaintiff's daughter, and shed was on condemned the property.

Plaintiff wanted shed back, so defendant returned it, it was in bad shape, and didn't survive the move.    Plaintiff wants $4,000 for the shed and contents.     

 Plaintiff mother is a real jerk.  The only one who is preying on the daughter is her own mother.   Plaintiff just wouldn't stop talking about the daughter's drug issues.  (My guess is the plaintiff's daughter is only in court because the mother doesn't trust her home alone). 

Plaintiff claim dismissed, because it's garbage. Defendant didn't even get the $75, and JJ gives that back to defendant. 

Second (2017)-

Exotic Fish Mass Funeral-Plaintiff/fish buyer Tracie Vestall suing tropical fish seller /defendant Thomas Meador (Rain Forest Farms) over a dozen diseased tropical fish she purchased from him.   In a matter of days, plaintiff's fish were decimated by the disease from the sick fish.   Agreement says that any fish that arrives dead, then they will replace the fish by sending a replacement fish.  They only replace fish that arrive dead.   

The agreement also says new fish should be quarantined for at least 10 days, and gradually acclimate the fish to the new tank.   Plaintiff did not quarantine the new fish.    The fish guarantee only says they replace fish that defendant sells them, and arrive dead. 

 The only issue are the nine new fish purchased from defendant, so either they get replacements or $270 back (bet defendant changed the contract FAQs about guarantees since this case).   

$270 to plaintiff.

That's No Excuse for Driving Drunk-Plaintiff Rita Kirven suing ex-boyfriend /defendant Milton Cosby for stealing money from her purse, and car damages (defendant is plaintiff's on/off boyfriend, who is also married to someone else).  After the drinking at the club, defendant drove the plaintiff's car to his home, and plaintiff claims some money was stolen from her purse, which was in the trunk of the car.   

Defendant didn't want to drink any more, but drove plaintiff's car home after the accident.  The next morning, plaintiff went to pick up her car, and caused a scene, and claims he damaged her car, and stole her money.     

Plaintiff receives $575 for car damages, and that's it.

Handshake Deal Gone Bad -Plaintiffs /former roommates Bradley VanBindsburger and Alexandra Baker-Murray suing defendants/former roommates Matthew Boles and McKenna Pettyjohn for identity theft, unpaid utilities.    Plaintiff owned a house, defendant male rented a room, then the girlfriends moved in, so defendants moved to the back house.     Defendants were supposed to pay utilities for the back house, defendants claim they paid, and plaintiff man says they didn’t and owe, $4365.

Utilities when defendant moved into the back house, $1600 past due owed.  (I don’t know if back house is separate from plaintiff Bradley’s house, or a guest house arrangement). 

Plaintiffs Bradley, and defendant Matthew were roommates for years, then in May Bradley bought the house, and in November defendants moved out.   Baker-Murray says Pettyjohn stole her identity, and she received a letter that she took to police, and with a video, against Pettyjohn, so JJ can’t try this part of the case.   There is a pending investigation, so plaintiff Baker-Murray will have to come back after case is dismissed, or Pettyjohn is convicted.   

Bradley’s mother keeps chiming in.  

I’m glad Officer Byrd is close by, and security, when plaintiff Bradley starts losing, he is very angry, and glaring at JJ.  

Baker-Murray’s case is dismissed until after a legal decision is made.  

$406 for plaintiff.

Disability Debit Card Craziness  -Plaintiff Shannondoah Baker suing former friend/ defendant Cynthia Wagner for stealing money from her, kicking her out, and refused to return her belongings.   This was after plaintiff was in jail for possession of stolen property, and violating probation.  Plaintiff claims a man she was dating put the items in her home.    Plaintiff took a plea, so pled guilty.   Plaintiff claims multiple disabilities, and diagnoses, and gets disability. 

Plaintiff was supposed to pay $300 a month rent to defendant, and gave her disability debit card to defendant.    Instead of $300, plaintiff claims defendant charged over $900 on the debit card.  Plaintiff mother/witness chimes in and claims she took care of incarcerated daughter's Rottweiler/Pit cross.   Defendant is counter suing for rent, dog sitting, utilities, etc.    

Defendant says the sweater plaintiff is wearing in court, actually belongs to the defendant.  I love this, I wish the defendant retrieved her sweater right in court.  

Defendant submits a signed, witnessed contract with plaintiff. Plaintiff denies signing the contract.  Plaintiff claims defendant kept her art supplies, clothes, and kitchen supplies. Plaintiff’s mother has a son and his family living with her, but not the disabled daughter.  I don’t think that because plaintiff has issues, that it means she doesn’t owe defendant anything.

Plaintiff claims dismissed.   Defendant counter claim dismissed. 

Second (2014)-

War of the Roommates -Plaintiff Stacy Halvorsen suing defendants/former roommates Tammie Renee (mother) and Samantha Bennett (daughter) for destroying her property after they evicted her, and claims they kept other property of hers, gas money, and moving costs.  Plaintiff now lives with her 24-year-old boyfriend and part time with his 2 and 4 year-old children.   (This happened in Oregon).    Plaintiff says defendant offered to let her move in to their apartment, and only spent 4 nights in the apartment.   Defendants said that plaintiff never moved in, just her stuff was there.

The plaintiff claims the defendants put her stuff outside, dresser, mattress/box spring, clothing, and it was ruined by rain, but she took it anyway.    Plaintiff claims defendants have her sofa, but defendants say that and a lot of other things were stored or in the apartment, but they took it outside with plaintiff’s boyfriend after they told plaintiff to leave.   

There are no texts from defendant about the sofa.    Plaintiff says defendants have the sectional sofa, a 42” TV, and other items, plaintiff’s schoolbooks.    Because defendant mother keeps chiming in, her counter claim is dismissed.    Plaintiff claims her sister’s sentimental lamp (don’t ask, it was ridiculous).  Defendant claims the TV was smaller than 42”.  

Plaintiff told defendants don’t have any of her stuff.  Plaintiff has notarized witness statements, and JJ doesn’t accept those. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant case dismissed.    

Granny or Nanny?  -Plaintiff/grandmother Lynnmarie Johnson suing defendant/daughter Elesia Howard, for child care fees, and lost wages.   Plaintiff was babysitting her daughter's children.  Grandmother says daughter didn't pay for childcare, claiming daughter said she was broke, but still bought weaves, and wigs, and other luxury items.  Daughter has one child. 

Plaintiff says she babysat for the one granddaughter, and says daughter was to fill out paperwork to get state babysitting payment.  Since daughter didn't fill out paperwork correctly, it was rejected, so plaintiff was never paid.   Plaintiff is suing for $5,000.  Plaintiff says this is the third time this daughter did this to her, and she's not babysitting again. 

JJ says this isn't a lawsuit, and plaintiff case is dismissed.

Playing House with a Baby-   Plaintiff/ cousin Linda Bretherton is suing her third cousin's ex-girlfriend, and baby mama Destyni Roseberry (yes, this is just how the first name is spelled) for unpaid rent.    Plaintiff’s sort of cousin/nephew is plaintiff’s witness.     The plaintiff’s cousin/sort of nephew (third cousin we think), couldn't rent an apartment, after their baby was six months old, and plaintiff co-signed.   Six months or so later the defendant moved home with her mother, and plaintiff wants two full months, and part of another month's rent.   

Baby daddy has never paid child support, but like all deadbeats, brings diapers sometimes.   Plaintiff witness cousin/baby daddy works sometimes, while defendant is a bartender.   Defendant says she paid more than half of the rent every month, and plaintiff baby daddy lied about working.  

Plaintiff baby daddy gets paid under the table, so no wage garnishment for him.  There is a 50/50 custody arrangement, so I doubt any child support will be happening for the mother. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.    

Bad Tempered Landlord-    Plaintiff/former tenant Gabriel Blanchett leased a room from defendants Thomas O’Shea and (wife)  O’Shea , and plaintiff moved out during the last month and wants pro-rated rent back for his last month, and moving costs.  Police were called by plaintiff several times to come to the house, over defendant’s behavior.   Plaintiff contends that defendant landlord had a bad temper, and defendant wife says only with plaintiff.   Defendant says plaintiff called police after plaintiff complained about his monthly rent shortfall.   

 (Defendant landlord sounds like a total jerk).  Defendant and wife are leasing the house, not the owners. 

$150 to plaintiff for pro-rated rent.

Muzzle Your Pit Bull- Plaintiffs Amanda Alleman and boyfriend John Kidd suing neighbor defendant/Pit Bull owner Bobbie Nickell over an attack on one of plaintiff's Pit Bulls (they have 1 year old, and 2 year old), for vet bills, punitive damages over the attack.    There was a minor dust up on day one. 

The next day, plaintiff's roommate was walking one dog (plaintiff girlfriend was walking the other dog too), when defendant's dog (being walked by defendant’s roommate)  attacked the Pit walked by the plaintiff's roommate.         

Defendant is getting the grieving grandfather letter telling the sad story about the grandchild being in the hospital after the dog attacked the 3-year-old grandson, after he warned the parents that the dog was a danger to the baby.     

Defendant dog attacked the plaintiff's dog two days in a row, and claims she muzzles her dog, and still keeps the animal, because "it's her best friend".     Day two, roommate was walking the plaintiff's dog on leash, the defendant's dog attacked the plaintiff's dog.   Defendant claims her dog was in her apartment, and plaintiff’s dog attacked her dog inside her apartment.   

Defendant wants her medical bills, and boarding for her dog until her lease runs out. Defendant wants $3300 for boarding her vicious animal until she could move out.

(A landlord that has guts! Apparently, the attacking dog's owner was told to move out).  

$422 for vet bills, to plaintiff.

Rebellious Grandson Rent Control-Plaintiff Janice Branscum suing defendants, step-granddaughter, Audrey White, and boyfriend Chrisofer Estorga (Apparently he’s step granddaughter’s boyfriend)  /defendants for rent, and return of property.    Plaintiff grandson (plaintiff’s witness, and grandmother is payee for him) went to live with his step sister (the defendant), and her boyfriend.   Plaintiff is payee for grandson's Social Security payments, and she gave the step-granddaughter some money, but kept the rest.   

 Grandson was an issue at defendant's apartment, and was told to leave, and the rent refund is gone.    Defendant has already packed up grandson's stuff, ready for pick up.  Plaintiff / grandmother lies about threats from defendant step-granddaughter.   Defendant told grandma she was not welcome on her property, and that's her right.   

I wonder if any of the grandson's money is left?   I bet it's all gone right in grandma's pocket.   As soon as grandmother sends a $575 money order to defendant, she will mail the grandson's stuff back, including the TV.   If the money order isn't received in 15 days, the matter is over and defendants can trash the grandson's stuff.       

Plaintiff has to send $575 to defendants, or property is trashed. 

I Should Have Let My Wife Speak-Plaintiff Dale Smith suing defendants April Pearson and husband Jack Pearson for a $1,000 loan to move, after they were fired from job at mobile home park.    About 10 days before the defendants were fired, they were looking for a place to live.   

Defendants had two days left to move, and borrowed the money from plaintiff.   Defendants claim that plaintiff engineered their firing, because he wanted defendant's job.     

$1,000 to plaintiff, and defendants’ absurd counter claim is dismissed.

Mother & Daughter Gang up on Ex -Plaintiffs Mariah Russom (23 years old) suing defendant/her mother's ex-boyfriend, Jason Kirkland, for unpaid loans, and return of property.    Plaintiff and her 40-year-old mother Danae Russom (plaintiff witness) were having issues with another sister, so they moved in with defendant.   

Plaintiffs didn't pay any rent for the two months they lived there.    Plaintiff witness mother, claims she paid rent, but defendant says he paid mother/girlfriend's mortgage one month (1800), and she paid his much lower rent ($800 or so).    Plaintiff bought defendant's son a bed, a lawn mower for the house, and says she has receipts for $346.   Mariah says the bed cost almost $1,000.     

When plaintiff and mother moved in, defendant did not get rid of any furniture.    Plaintiff says defendant sent his couches to plaintiff's sister, and plaintiff and mother put their couches in defendant's house.   When plaintiff and witness moved out they took their couches, but didn't return the couches defendant loaned to the plaintiff's sister.    Defendant has the text on his phone about the furniture, when he asked for his couches back, and witness says she would return them with a police escort, which never happened.     

 After the big argument, plaintiffs moved out, and took all of their furniture with them.   Defendant says his son offered to move into the smaller bedroom, so plaintiffs could have a bigger room.   Defendant says TV in question that plaintiff claims she paid for, was free with her furniture purchase.   

The defendant doesn't dispute owing for the lawn mower.   Defendant is countersuing for car damages, by plaintiff, and furniture.    

Plaintiff also claims defendant stole her grandmother's ring.   Plaintiff mother moved in with boyfriend, before divorcing her previous husband.   Plaintiff also added an extra cell phone line for defendant’s son, and claim son used over $800 worth of data, but defendant says the 12-year-old son hasn’t had that phone for months. 

Defendant keeps the son's bedroom furniture, and loses the older couches.    Defendant says plaintiff ran his truck into a pole, and plaintiff denies this, and she's a liar.   Plaintiff tries to submit some list of aliases of defendant.     Mother/witness moved out in September, but Mariah lived there for two weeks without her mother, into October, so I guess she wasn’t afraid of defendant.  Estimate to fix defendant's truck is $1880.    

(I’m totally on defendant’s side.  Plaintiff playing stupid is getting on my last nerve. JJ tells plaintiff she has a problem with plaintiff’s lack of veracity, maybe JJ should explain to plaintiff what ‘lack of veracity’ means)

Ruling is $346 for lawn mower to plaintiff, but defendant gets $1880, so $1534 to defendant. 

Second (2014)-

Diseased Puppy or Misdiagnosis? -Plaintiff Kathleen O'Connor suing defendants Kimberly and John Pearson over a King Charles Spaniel puppy she bought from defendant.  Puppy was purchased 18 months ago.   Puppy had a return guarantee for another puppy if the dog had a congenital defect.  Syringomyelia (or something like that) was the diagnosis, and puppy was returned to defendants.   (This disease is similar to Chiari Malformation in humans.).   

The vet report says an MRI would be required to diagnose the disease, but plaintiff chose not to do the MRI.  Instead, plaintiff put the dog on several anti-seizure medications.  Vet found no pain, no seizures, just what the plaintiff says were seizures. 

Dog has been at the defendants' home for eight months, was taken off of the medication plaintiff had dog on.    Defendants say the dog has zero issues over the eight months they've had her back.    

Defendant says dog has zero issues in her home, but plaintiff claims the dog has a congenital neurological condition.   Defendant says dog is not on any medication, and doesn’t need any. 

Plaintiff claims puppy is either sedated, or another dog.   The plaintiff's video is very sad, bizarre behavior by the puppy.   Plaintiff claims because dog is thrilled to see her again, that it’s either not the same dog, or dog is drugged.  

Defendant said she tried not to get attached to the dog, because if she was in pain, then defendant would put the dog down.     Defendant says the puppy came out of her shell, is off medication, and dog is fine.   Defendants don't want to return a puppy to plaintiff.  Defendants had the puppy back for 8 months at the time of the court case filming.  

Defendants say the puppy is doing the equivalent of chasing her tail, and they’re not seizures.

(The dog on the video is a dog with very itchy feet, not a seizure.   To me the puppy looks like a dog with very itchy feet, allergies maybe?  I bet from food, or contact with something on the floors, or yard.  I had a dog with similar foot chewing, and when the dog chew bones were changed for another brand, the chewing and itching stopped.) 

Plaintiff claims puppy is drugged, and being neglected by defendants.   JJ asks defendant if she would sell another puppy to plaintiff, and defendant says no.   (I wouldn’t give or sell an animal to plaintiff either.   You spend this much to buy a puppy, but you won’t pay for an MRI, and instead do several anti-seizure medications instead because they’re cheaper). 

Plaintiff receives $1500 for the puppy purchase, and vet bills. (I would have just given plaintiff the purchase price, $1,000, and no vet bills or other money).

Bookkeeper Caught Stealing-Plaintiff Dan Batson suing defendants/ former bookkeeper, Vicki Smalley (embezzler) and Ted Smalley (husband), Plaintiff says he loaned $2800 to defendant, but thieving defendant says it was only $1200.   Vicki Smalley was convicted of stealing from plaintiff's business.   

 Defendant wrote plaintiff a check for $2000, that says 'partial payment', and check bounced.     Defendant claims plaintiff made frequent loans to employees.    Defendant was supposed to make restitution as a part of her sentence, and claims restitution covers the amount of her loan.   

Criminal court restitution was either $1200, or 658.00, not sure which.   Defendant's husband is making a lot of excuses, and is lying.   Plaintiff says they still owe him $1300.    

Defendants made nasty comments about plaintiff in the hall-terviews.  

(The worst part of embezzlement, is that they virtually never get jail time, and restitution is a total joke).

Plaintiff receives $1300.    

Friend Bailout Bummer-Plaintiff Bill Jones suing defendant Ethan Locks for an unpaid loan to pay legal fees ($5,000).   Plaintiff claims defendant wanted money for legal fees, and defendant says he hasn't needed legal fees for many years.    A year after the loan, defendant paid plaintiff with two checks totaling $5,000, but defendant put a stop payment on one check, and there wasn't enough in the account to cover either check.   Defendant says he owes nothing, that plaintiff was going to do work for him, and didn’t.

Defendant can’t even recall exactly what he was arrested for, and blames everything on others, the charge was possession of Marijuana.

Defendant's checking account statement does not show any account balance.  So, defendant is sent out to get proof that he has $5,000 in the checking account.   The day defendant wrote check, defendant had a balance of less than $500, and the replacement check was written when account had about $300.   

$5,000 to plaintiff. 

Second (2017)-

Good Samaritan or Stalking Friend-Plaintiff Troyana Rodriguez suing defendant/ former friend N’Shaia Swindeman for the return of a TV (5 years old), a broken phone, and gas money ($550).    Defendant claims plaintiff stalked her. (Defendant's beige underlay material on her lace dress makes it look like she's not wearing anything under it.  At least, I hope that’s a beige underlay).   Plaintiff loaned defendant a TV.  Defendant says TV wasn't a loan, but a gift.    TV is still at defendant's former home, when she moved out to avoid an abusive ex.      Plaintiff gets nothing for TV.   

Plaintiff claims defendant broke her phone, while defendant was pushing plaintiff out of the apartment she was in then.   Plaintiff claims they were in a relationship, but defendant says they were just drinking buddies.  Plaintiff came to defendant's new apartment, defendant told plaintiff to leave, and pushed her outside.    Plaintiff claims defendant threw her phone out.     (I hate plaintiff saying “I tried to peacefully resolve” repeatedly.)

Case dismissed.  

Blindside Collision-Plaintiff Kassandra Hiebert (car owner) suing defendant/motorist Nina Kraai (car owner) for car damages from a car accident.    Defendant was driving her witness' car, which was fully insured.    Plaintiff loaned her witness her car, (her live in boyfriend).   

Plaintiff was in left lane, driving straight, and a truck was in right lane by plaintiff, defendant claims she was waved out from a side street to make a left in front of plaintiff.   Plaintiff says truck next to him in the right lane was turning right into the street, that the defendant was coming out of.     Defendant pulled out to make left turn, and plaintiff hit her.     

Defendant swears the plaintiff was behind the truck, swerved around it, and hit her.  Plaintiff was in the left lane, and truck was in the right lane, turning right into street defendant was coming out of.     Either way plaintiff had right of way.   Both cars were insured.

Domestic Violence Victim? – Plaintiff Otis Mays Jr suing defendant Frances Howard, for falsely accusing him of domestic assault, and for return of his property.  Defendant said she saw ex-rated pictures of other women on plaintiff's computer.   Litigants had lived together for five years, the daughter’s entire life.   After the argument, defendant saw that plaintiff had taken their daughter, so she called the police and reported daughter kidnapped.    Child is five years old. 

Litigants have been living together for five years, with only plaintiff working.    During their living together, plaintiff called police twice in 2013 (when the argument happened).   On one occasion they both got physical, and defendant called the police, and she assaulted him first.   A couple of months later was the argument where she saw the computer photos, had an argument, and that was when she made the false kidnapping report.  

Defendant is getting welfare, and she was on the lease, but plaintiff wasn’t on the lease, because she didn’t want the government to know plaintiff was living there.   So, daughter went with dad, and defendant told police he kidnapped her daughter. 

Because of the lie about kidnapping, plaintiff was arrested, and lost his job.  The argument and arrest happened in December, the day after Christmas.  Plaintiff says the argument and arrest was four months earlier, the police report corrects this.   Defendant also claimed aggravated domestic assault.  Defendant tried to get a TRO, but it didn’t get approved.   JJ advises plaintiff to go to court and get a custody order. JJ also reprimands the plaintiff for living together with only defendant’s name on the lease for five years, to qualify for benefits.  

Plaintiff receives $5,000. 

Brother Sister War – Plaintiff Skyler Shadrick-Wehrman suing defendant Christopher Wehrman and wife Catherine Wehrman, for moving costs.   Defendant and wife,  (4 years 16 months, and 2 months) had three children under four (my worst nightmare).   Defendant was using plaintiff's truck to go to and from work.   Plaintiff (age 19) was living with brother and wife, and helping around the house.    JJ points out to defendant that claiming to be poor, and having another baby are incompatible. 

Plaintiff gets student loans and grants, and loaned $2300 to defendant to fix his truck.  Defendant claims he only borrowed $800 and it wasn't a loan, but a gift, and claims he repaid $600.    Plaintiff shows the $2300 that was loaned to defendant, out of two loans plaintiff took out.     Defendant says the money went to support the household, and he was using plaintiff/sister's truck.    

Plaintiff receives $2350

Second (2014)-

Boyfriend was bailed out of jail by his mother.   

Plaintiff gets $500.

Daycare Drama – Plaintiff Brandie Wallace suing defendant Kristopher Hammon for unpaid babysitting fees.   Defendants, husband and wife, both work.   However, defendant Kristopher is a job-hopper, and the defendant and wife used to coordinate schedules to cover their own child care needs.    They only hired plaintiff when both started working the same schedules.  

Plaintiff was canned by defendant Kristopher the day after he was fired from his dot com day job.  What an amazing coincidence.   Agreement was to pay $600 a week, for full day daycare for two children.

Defendant says he heard from relatives that Brandie was sleeping on the job, neglecting the children, and other issues. 

Plaintiff receives $2400. 

Ex-Lover Vacation Spat -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Brittany Bass suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Sean Minney for a trip to Salt Lake City, a stolen debit card, and other stuff.   This happened after defendant quit or left his job.    This became a loan after they broke up.   

The litigants never lived together, and were on-and-off according to plaintiff.   

However, defendant claims plaintiff came to his place at 5:30 a.m., forced her way into his place, assaulted him, kicked his dog, walked over his roommate's daughter, and she admits she hit defendant. 

$421 for trip, but defendant gets $421 for assault, so money is zeroed out.

Off-Road Vehicle Swindle-Plaintiff David Matsko suing an ATV buyer/defendant Zachary Bergeron for stopping payment on the check, after "As Is" vehicle stopped working.   Plaintiff advertised an ATV, for $3400, and defendant wrote a check, for the entire amount, and then defendant stopped payment on the check.  Fortunately, plaintiff held title until after check clears, and still has it.   Plaintiff tried to cash check, but his credit union wouldn't cash it.   

So, plaintiff talked to defendant, who agreed to bring cash in exchange for the title.   There is a text saying defendant has cash, and will swap for the check, title, and bill of sale.    Defendant brought the ATV back, and plaintiff will have to pay $2500 to rebuild the engine.  A dealer would charge $4800 to rebuild the ATV engine.

Plaintiff receives $2500, will rebuild, and sell the ATV.   

Uninsured, and Driving Drunk-Plaintiff Nevin Donovan suing defendant Jared Ayres  for crashing into plaintiff's parked car while defendant was driving drunk.    While plaintiff was looking at an apartment  to rent with his brother, he heard a crash, and defendant had crashed into his parked car.   Defendant is counter claiming for medical bills, and is claiming plaintiff was backing out, not parked.   

Defendant only tries to submit medical bills, because as JJ says, medical reports will say if loser defendant was drunk or stoned.    Police report is submitted, and confirms plaintiff's story.     As usual, defendant had no insurance, and his license was suspended.   Defendant told police he swerved to avoid a deer, and hit a parked car.   Police officer says defendant was drunk, and refused blood or breathalyzer tests.

Pictures of plaintiff’s Mustang are bad.     

$3,000 to plaintiff.  I would have given the plaintiff $5,000.

Grinning idiot daughter won’t stop smiling. 

Car deficit was $10978 after the auction, so mother gets $5,000, so she’s still on the hook for almost $6,000.

Botched Wig Order-Plaintiff Abidemi Glasgow suing defendant/salon owner Toika Troutman-Walker and wig maker, Kaiin Spooner for non-delivery of a custom wig order.    Defendant Spooner admits she didn’t measure plantiff with a tape measure.    The stylist just put a wig cap on plaintiff, but didn’t measure the plaintiff. 

The defendants had the wig constructed by the end of November, the plaintiff wasn’t happy, and says the adjustments hadn’t been done.    The second time the defendants had the wig from 25 November, through 9 January when plaintiff was called to get the wig.   Plaintiff went to the shop, found on second try the wig was still screwed up.    Part was on the wrong side, and defendant wig maker list told plaintiff to tilt wig to side.

Plaintiff admits she gambles and loses constantly, and doesn't work.   Plaintiff says she relies on her husband/fiance for gambling money.   Plaintiff's fiance gave her the money to loan to defendant. 

$3,000 to plaintiff, so she can gamble it away.

Vicious Assault, Broken Jaw -Plaintiff Cory Peer suing defendant  Jonathan Attebury over a broken jaw inflicted by defendant at a bachelor party. Plaintiff claims everyone was drunk that night.   

Defendant claims plaintiff shoved him twice, wouldn't leave him alone, and so he punched the plaintiff, breaking his jaw.  

Case was delayed from two weeks ago, because there was an outstanding warrant in Tennessee against the defendant over this case, but defendant lives in Indiana.    Plaintiff dropped the charges between two weeks ago, and court.   Plaintiff claims the local D.A. wouldn't pay to extradition on defendant, and he can get money from JJ and Officer Byrd.    Defendant claims they didn't leave the plaintiff behind at the bar, and plaintiff was in the limo, crying and wanted to go home (That would cost $100 more, so they said no).  Defendant’s defense is that plaintiff touched or shoved him twice, and he barely hit the plaintiff.  (Defendant was previously arrested for aggravated DUI).

Plaintiff says defendant didn’t punch him, but put him in a headlock and broke his jaw in two places that way.  

$5,000 to plaintiff for medical bills, and suffering.  

Who Wrecked My Truck -Plaintiff/car owner Giavanni Giacalone suing defendant/driver Cheyenne Pratt, over a car wreck of a car driven by defendant, that was owned by plaintiff.   Defendant claims his ex-girlfriend grabbed his steering wheel, and caused the accident.   Defendant is the nephew of plaintiff's ex-girlfriend Jamaala  Karim.  Plaintiff didn't have collision insurance on car.   

Plaintiff witness Jamaala Karim, was a passenger with defendant in plaintiff's car, and defendant's ex-girlfriend.   She claims she told defendant to wait for another car, and defendant went anyway, causing the accident.   Defendant claims his then ex-girlfriend grabbed the steering wheel, causing the accident.

Plaintiff was suing for $4,000, KBB is $1100.

Second (2014)-

Dehydrated Defendant -Plaintiff Pearline Williams-White suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Tommy Hughes for return of their two cars, that are both in her name.   The litigants are now split up, and fighting over two cars.  Cars were put in plaintiff’s name, and she wants both cars, but defendant paid for both cars, and plaintiff has the title and tags to both cars.   Defendant wants the titles to register the cars in his name, and defendant has the two cars.   2006 GMC Envoy, and a Honda Accord are the vehicles in question.  Defendant keeps chugging the “Water that Should not be Drunk”.

Defendant says he already has three cars in his name, but still wants the other two cars.

JJ tells the defendant which of the two cars each one wants.

Plaintiff wants the Mercedes, not the Honda, but she’s getting the Honda, and defendant gets the Envoy, if plaintiff gives the signed title to defendant.

Plaintiff gets the 1999 Honda, and $1500.   Defendant will put plaintiff and her daughter’s clothes in the Honda when he turns it over.  (A complication is plaintiff lives in Virginia, and defendant lives in Alabama, so defendant will figure out how to get the car to her).

Lethal Lemon -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Jessica Tidwell suing defendant/ex-husband Ed Sprague and his former employer Kenneth Schoeff over a lemon car they sold her.   Car was defendant Schoeff’s car, and 13 years old, and had 147,000 miles with a rebuilt engine in it.    Ex-husband isn’t really a proper defendant, just Schoeff.    

Plaintiff thinks a 13-year-old car will never have an issue.    JJ is upset that Schoeff doesn’t work, but he has kidney disease, heart disease, and a few other things.   There is no written guarantee on the car. Plaintiff doesn’t have a bill of sale for the car, and didn’t have the car evaluated by a mechanic before buying the car.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

If You Love Your Child…Don’t Do This! -Plaintiff/child’s father Joel Knutson suing defendant /child’s mother Katherine Harrison for damaging his guitar on the way out after a custody exchange.    There is a custody arrangement, father 45% custody, and mother has 55% custody, plaintiff pays about $260 a month child support.    

Plaintiff is a professional musician, and sometimes his work schedule interferes with his custody schedule.   Defendant is an IT consultant, and claims she survives on $20k a year, plus child support.  JJ wonders why defendant caused this huge scene, and damage, in front of the child, over $200 defendant wanted.  

Defendant went to plaintiff’s home to drop off the 9-year-old child, pushed her way into the house, demanded the $200 she wanted, and when plaintiff said he wouldn’t pay her, she grabbed one of his guitars by the entrance, tossed it onto her shoulder, and said he’d get his guitar back when he paid her, and she walked out of the house.    So, she trespassed, forced entry, stole a guitar. 

Plaintiff is suing for his guitar damages, and defendant still wants the $200 daycare fee.  Plaintiff called police, and filed charges for a broken door, and guitar damages.  Door has a bent hinge, and injured the doorknob.   Guitar damages are demonstrated in extensive, boring detail.  After police arrived, defendant slammed the guitar down, cracking the internals, and other parts in three places.   Plaintiff has a music store, and his certified technicians couldn’t repair the guitar.  Guitar was only partially fixable, and took five months to be partially repaired. 

JJ tells defendant she’s making her son’s life worse because of her lack of control.   I also doubt she only makes $20,000 a year. 

$1945 to plaintiff, from $2145, so minus the $200 defendant wanted for day care. 

Second (2017)-

Gun Play and a Knife Fight-Plaintiff Adam Yomtov suing defendant/former roommate Jeff Koester for damages resulting from a false arrest.    Defendant purchased a car from a friend of the plaintiff, and plaintiff wanted a commission of $250 over the car sale.    That started the disputes between the two litigants.   

On the date of the argument, plaintiff was in the kitchen, girlfriend was napping after work, and defendant says plaintiff threatened him with a gun he pulled from his left pocket (plaintiff is a gun licensed security guard, who is right-handed, and legally carries a gun).    Defendant called police, claims the plaintiff threatened to shoot him, and plaintiff was arrested, spent two days in jail, and his gun was confiscated.  

Plaintiff admits he asked the defendant to stop using his personal kitchen utensils, not cleaning them after, and the fight was on.   Defendant now claims the plaintiff pulled the trigger on the gun.   I think the defendant is more than a few sandwiches short of a picnic.   He's embellishing in court, from what he told the police.   I don't believe the defendant at all, but I don't like the plaintiff either. 

JJ believes the defendant, claims the girl friend of plaintiff covered for him.  

JJ believes the defendant, and awards him $1500.   Plaintiff case dismissed.

Most Respectful Bad Driver Award-Plaintiff/car driver Matthew Gutierrez is suing defendant/bicycle rider Jeffrey Smith for hitting his car while the plaintiff was turning right.   However, the very polite plaintiff is full of poo-poo, because there is a big sign saying "No Right Turn".   

When plaintiff turned right, illegally, he crossed the bicycle lane, and hit the defendant.     Plaintiff claims the ‘No Right Turn’ was only when the construction people were present, but nothing on the sign says anything about conditions.    Defendant is lucky he wasn't killed.   It looks like plaintiff hit defendant near or in the crosswalk.    

Plaintiff case dismissed.
