Too Much Money Too Soon-Plaintiff Micaela Barajas suing her boyfriend's mother/defendant Maranee Forsyth for a loan to pay rent.   Plaintiff gets tribal money, received $50K when she turned 18, and every penny is gone.   (Defendant mother has hideous makeup, and looks stoned).   

Plaintiff, defendant mother, boyfriend, defendant's ex-husband, two more siblings of boyfriend, all live together with plaintiff paying the bills.    Plaintiff thinks ex-husband of defendant will actually start paying the rent the next month (no he won't).   

 Plaintiff's boyfriend, and his useless relatives certainly knew who to target, didn't they?    The only good thing is the plaintiff and boyfriend threw mommy out.  (Plaintiff was going to school, and isn't even doing that any longer.   I hope she moved out and has a little place of her own, and went back to school). 

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

It's the second or third time I've seen this one & every time I see it my hard cold heart breaks for the girl and for some reason it reminds me of the final scene and voice over of Ginger (Sharon Stone) in the movie Casino.

First (2014)-

Deal with the Deceased -Plaintiff/former in-law Chad Tate suing defendant Thomas Seabolt (uncle of plaintiff’s ex-wife) over the unpaid balance on defendant’s his late brother’s four wheeler, $3922 he was buying from plaintiff.  Plaintiff’s sold a four wheeler to defendant’s brother, and defendant, then when defendant’s brother died, the defendant and brother were making payments.   Then, the defendant and brother stopped paying, and said because the brother died they don’t have to pay now.   The sale was end of 2011. 

Defendant claims he never had an obligation to pay for the four-wheeler. Defendant says his brother was going to pay for the four-wheeler, and defendant said the payments would be made to plaintiff, and defendant accidentally made himself a guarantor of the loan.

Payments were made directly to the bank.  Defendant claims he only made $100 for one partial payment.    ATV is at defendant’s sister’s house, for repairs.    Brother burned up the engine, and it’s been sitting for two years waiting for enough money to repair the ATV.   Plaintiff kept the loan, and title still owes $3799, and JJ tells plaintiff to sell the ATV.

Case dismissed, plaintiff told to pick up the ATV, fix or don’t fix, and sell it. 

Souped-Up Snowmobile Crash!   -Plaintiff/snowmobile owner Charles Cummings suing defendants Maurice Eull (rider) and Leah Eull (wife) for crashing and damaging his snowmobile.     Defendant admits he crashed the plaintiff's snowmobile into a tree, but blames the friend for having such a powerful vehicle, and didn't tell him it was supercharged.    Defendant borrowed snowmobile from plaintiff, crashed it into a tree.    Defendant says supercharged snowmobile, and crash was all plaintiff's fault. 

Estimate for snowmobile damages $ 11,500 is repair estimate, new price in 2012 was $10,000+

Plaintiff says he's suing wife of defendant also, because defendant husband was willing to pay him, but defendant wife refused to let husband pay. 

Plaintiff has picture of snowmobile, and the innocent victim in this case, the poor tree.   The snowmobile is trashed, and the tree looks very bad too. 

Plaintiff receives $5,000.  (Snowmobile cost $10,500 plus taxes and fees two years ago, and cost $11,500 to repair).

Whose Lying? -Plaintiff Shirley Barron (mother) and (daughter) Latasha Barron suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Guy Cross for stealing the mother’s car.   Daughter handles mother’s affairs, and has for years. Car was paid for by plaintiff mother, but title was in defendant’s name. 

Defendant claims the car was a gift from the girlfriend.    Plaintiff mother received a settlement from her son’s death, and bought the car, and put it in defendant’s name because she doesn’t have a license. I know JJ said the plaintiff mother hasn’t been declared incompetent, but there’s something wrong with plaintiff woman.   

JJ is going to let plaintiff daughter testify.  JJ says it’s defendant’s car, it’s in his name.

In the hall-terview plaintiff daughter is upset, and defendant claims plaintiff daughter is controlling, and he’s keeping the car.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

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

$900 to plaintiff, and now we can stop hearing about plaintiff working 7 days a week, and defendant’s bizarre financial and romantic life. 

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

Plaintiff refuses to admit that the bills on her credit card are hers to pay, since defendant wasn’t an account holder.   How is JJ supposed to split seven years of bills up?  Defendant was not the primary card holder on any credit card.   When JJ says not common debt, and plaintiff won’t be paid, she talks back to JJ. 

Plaintiff case dismissed with extreme prejudice.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2017)-

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, defendant says her daughter has a drug problem, and daughter’s boyfriend is supposed to be clean and sober.   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. 

   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”. (I now agree with JJ, having a unique name makes it hard to hide your past deeds)    Plaintiff took interior pictures during the week that defendant was out of the house, then when she moved back in after the stay, and landlord 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. Why is JJ giving defendant money for vehicles that weren’t impounded?  

$5,000 to defendant for her bogus claims, and nothing to plaintiff. (I now think everything should have been dismissed.)

Second (2017)-

Don’t Defame Your Contractor! -Plaintiff /homeowner Karen Broshears suing defendant/contractor Joseph “Jody” Dick for work she claims she paid him for work on her home, breach of contract.   Defendant claims defamation by social media.  Initial contract was for $6750, and totaled $9000+.   Defendant was paid $14000 in cash, and plaintiff claims he didn’t perform $1335.  Then plaintiff claims defendant didn’t deliver materials she paid for.  

However, if my understanding is correct, plaintiff didn’t pay in full for the work she received either

Plaintiff posted a lot of bad stuff about defendant’s business.

Defendant claim dismissed.   Plaintiff gets $1335.

Deadbeat Dad?! -Plaintiff Carmelina Anistasio suing defendant Jerry Nolte (he’s father of plaintiff’s 9-year-old child) for unpaid rent and property damage.   Defendant was between places, and plaintiff’s guest house was vacant, so she let defendant move in, the defendant was actually living in a bedroom in the main house.   Plaintiff is trying to say defendant lived in the guest house and didn’t pay rent and damaged it, but he lived in the main house.  

Plaintiff’s ridiculous case sent back to Indiana small claims court.

First (2014)-

Outrageous Landlord?! -Plaintiff/former tenant Nicholas Ivon Sr suing defendant/former landlord Steven Carney for property damage, theft, and harassment, $5,000. Plaintiff, his five children, and two dogs, and stayed in defendant’s rental property on the first floor, defendant lived on the upper floor.  Plaintiff works on the side for mechanic work, but lives off of public assistance, food stamps, etc.    Plaintiff lived there for a year, and welfare sent the 9 months of rent to defendant.   Then on the last 3 months, defendant received the check directly from the welfare office (Buffalo, NY).  

Plaintiff was there for 15 months, and only paid directly for the last three months (actually Officer Byrd paid the last three months).   Landlord claims he issued repeated 30-day and 3-day notices, but claims it was too expensive to file for and follow through evictions in NY.   

Landlord signed a letter to the housing assistance office saying plaintiff was a decent, paying tenant, so he could get the housing assistance rent check directly.    (This case is reason  #52899 why I will never be a landlord, along with the proposals in many cities where non-payment is not a legal reason for eviction).    Plaintiff claims house was disgusting, in disrepair, moved out, and then moved back in.     What a great father, who moved his kids back into a house he says was uninhabitable.

The property plaintiff is suing for was when he wasn’t paying rent, and moved out for two months, and moved back in.  The plaintiff’s witness is the mother of three of the children, and is plaintiff’s “fiance”, but she was living with her mother, so I bet plaintiff was getting more benefits.

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed.

 Missing Title! –Plaintiff Casey Richesin suing defendant Jessica Crooker (Yes, that’s the right last name, how appropriate) over a car title. For $900 (for the $500 he paid for car, and storage).  Plaintiff bought car from defendant for a total of $600, but only paid $500 to her.   Title was in previous owner’s name, not defendant’s name.   Plaintiff is suing for a letter from defendant saying she lost the title, but she never had a title or registration in her name.  

He can’t register the car, because of the title issue, and wants his $500 back.    Defendant lives in Washington, plaintiff in Oregon, and he needs a notarized letter from owner saying title was lost.  Legal owner is in Kansas, along with Dorothy and Toto. 

Defendant says plaintiff knew “full headedly”, that ridiculous.  

Plaintiff says defendant promised him a title, and said it was in her camper.   Defendant has a bill of sale, but is playing stupid about the title, only saying ‘as is’.

JJ gives plaintiff $300, tells him to take everything to the Washington state DMV, and if they won’t give him a title, then JJ says to find someone to junk the car without a title, and he should get about $200.  

 Party Jumper Jacked? -Plaintiffs Luis Espinosa and wife Jennifer Roberts are suing defendants Ernest Bladen and Shirley Diaz for stealing the party jumper defendants rented for their son’s birthday (party jumper must be a bouncy house? Sorry, I have no kids, and don’t speak parent or kiddy birthday party).  Defendants have rented from plaintiffs before.

Plaintiff dropped off bouncy house on the 3rd, with a contract signed by Ernest Bladen, and when plaintiff came to pick up the bouncy house (party jumper) the item was missing.    The contract clearly states that defendants are responsible for repair or replacement of bouncy house if it’s damaged, or not returned.

Defendants have no explanation about where party jumper/bouncy house went. 

Plaintiffs receive $2175.

Second (2013)-

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

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

Defendant Brumfield was supposed to pay $750, and claims she was late on three months, and claim her dad paid $1950 for the 3 months.   So, $975 charged against defendant Martin, his half of the rent for three months.   So, $975 charged against defendant Brumfield.   

Brumfield step daughter is a former nanny, and Martin is a laborer.  Electric utility payment was a month behind, and water bill.    Defendant Brumfield has three children with defendant Martin, and she has two more children by someone else.   Defendant Brumfield gets disability for Bipolar, and children get child support.  The two kids by some other man live with the father, so no more child support.

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

$3,030 to plaintiff.

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

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

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

$0 to plaintiff.

5 p.m. episodes-

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)-

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

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

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

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

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

Spray Gun Mist Mess-Plaintiff car collector Brady Larkin suing defendant/fellow storage unit owner James Nelson for damages to his vehicles from paint over spray.   Plaintiff has a bunch of 70’s El Caminos, and other vehicles in his storage unit.  The storage unit isn't sealed between units (big holes at the top of the common wall), and over the winter the plaintiff's vehicles were damaged by paint on them from a spray gun.   

Plaintiff's witness is a 40-year auto paint pro.   Defendant sprayed primer, black paint, etc. over the winter in his storage unit.   Plaintiff claims defendant was told not to spray paint in his unit (they're more workshop areas, than actual storage units) a year before this by the fire department. 

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

First (2014)-

Unwed Parents’ Plight or Flight? -Plaintiff /aunt Rosialee Shelton (aunt of defendant woman)suing planitiff’s niece Brandi Spence and boyfriend David Smith for an unpaid loan to buy a car, and for vandalizing her car with rocks.  Defendant woman is a SMOTT (Sainted Single Mother of Two, younger one is defendant man) stays home with her kids, and defendant man works with roofing business owned by niece’s relatives. 

Defendant woman quit her cashier job right after borrowing $1600 from aunt.   Text messages say defendant woman would repay aunt after she got her tax refund. 

Aunt is on disability for her back issues.  She only makes $959 after taxes a month.

Niece keeps saying the aunt gave her a gift, and she never signed a contract or promissory note.

Plaintiff/aunt says defendant man vandalized her car with rocks, and mooned her.   I hope there isn’t a video of the defendant man’s rear end.

Aunt says defendant Smith came out swearing and screaming, mooned her, and threw rocks at her car.

Defendant Smith looks like he has his hair styled at Jiffy Lube.

Plaintiff gets $1600 for the loan.  

Phone or Fist at Fault for Crash? -Plaintiffs Alyssa Lees (SSMOO Sainted Single Mother of One with her boyfriend/witness) suing defendant Michael Sanders (her stepfather) for taking her car without permission, to take plaintiff’s boyfriend home, and defendant crashed the car into a ditch, totaling the car.   Since car owner/plaintiff woman was drunk, she couldn’t give consent to stepfather to drive her car.  Plaintiff’s witness is also the father of their child,  Franklin Allen.

Plaintiff woman says the two only stay together because of their child, but child is adopted out to others.  No, that makes zero sense to me either. 

Plaintiff and boyfriend / witness were drinking and arguing, plaintiff passed out, and stepfather went to drive plaintiff boyfriend home.   Defendant says boyfriend slammed his fist into the console, knocking shifter out of gear,  startling defendant, and he went into the ditch.    Plaintiff witness says defendant was talking on his phone, went in the ditch.

$1600 to plaintiff for car.

Second (2013)-

Mobile Home Manipulation? -Plaintiff Therese Harrison suing defendant David O’Neill for unpaid work on his mobile home, and for furniture for the mobile home plaintiff wants back.   Plaintiff spent money to remodel defendant’s mobile home.    Defendant inherited the mobile home from his late father, plaintiff offered to remodel the mobile home.     Defendant split his time between Arizona, and the mobile home in Florida.  Then plaintiff offered to do minimal remodels to the mobile home, mostly paint. 

JJ suspects the remodeling was a way for plaintiff to get closer.   Plaintiff said some people were coming to visit her, and she wanted her furniture safe from kid damage, so moved the furniture to defendant’s mobile home.    

Defendant was in Arizona for five weeks, plaintiff got rid of all of defendant’s furniture, and moved in furniture that defendant’s witness/contractor says plaintiff bought from someone else. 

Defendant witness says he picked up a couch from another home, not plaintiff’s home, and took the couch to defendant’s home while he was out of town.  

Plaintiff paid for remodeling the bathroom, and witness Joe did the work.  Plaintiff claims she spent $2220 on the remodel expenses, not including the $100 for the couch.   Defendant does executive protection.    Defendant says he didn’t agree to the level of remodeling plaintiff did, or wanted the furniture except the couch.

Defendant thought he only agreed to painting.   Defendant thinks plaintiff wanted something more than just a friendship.

Plaintiff gets $100 for the couch.  

$1500 to plaintiff, including the couch.  

Car Crash! -Plaintiff Jeanette Wolfarth suing defendant/former friends Joanna Teixerra  and Tiffany Janny for the unpaid balance for a Kia Sportage.    Down payment was $500, with a total of $6,500.  Payoff arrangement of $400 a month, but defendant Teixerra had financial issues, only paid $500, and nothing more.   Plaintiff says she gave the pink slip and possession of car to Teixerra after the $500 down payment.   However, title is still in plaintiff’s name.

Then Teixerra let defendant Janny drive the car, and claims she was forced into it.   Teixerra claims plaintiff let Janny drive the car.    Janny and boyfriend were driving the car to a Lakers game.  Teixerra says Janny was too drunk to remember the litigants talking about the car loan.

Janny/defendant says she was driving to pickup booze, when stopped at a light, someone tried to squeeze through for a right turn and didn’t make it.

KBR is almost $700 less than the sale price.

Plaintiff case dismissed, because the entire story is garbage.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2017)-

Section 8 Housing Upset-Plaintiff /landlord  John Janet suing defendant/former tenant Katea Henderson for damage to rental home, and stolen property.     Defendant was Section 8 (where state pays almost all of the rent, and tenant pays some).      Defendant claims she replaced the blinds, stove knobs, faucets, and left them behind, however plaintiff says she's a liar. 

Defendant submits an old inspection by the Section 8 people, it’s 2 years old, and nothing more current.   Plaintiff says the housing people took pictures of the condition on move out.    Defendant claims Section 8 wouldn't have let her move on to the next place, if she trashed the plaintiff's unit.     

Plaintiff claims defendant took all of the furniture that he put in the home, but defendant claims she paid him $1800 for it (home was rented furnished).    Defendant claims she bought furniture from plaintiff for $1850, and has some fake receipt for it.   Defendant claims she replaced the beds, because the furnished beds had bed bugs, and were trashed.   

There is a 2016 inspection.   Move in pictures are lovely.    Defendant says she paid the property management office, but the receipt is fake.    Apartment was rented furnished by plaintiff, and defendant took everything with her. 

Defendant claims she paid $1850 for four dining chairs, some small appliances, and all of the kitchen silverware, and everything else. Moveout pictures are disgusting, major damages, carpet is revolting.       

JJ goes to make the phone call of doom, to the Section 8 housing inspector, who declines to talk to her.    

Then, JJ wants to know why defendant chopped up the kitchen counter tops?  There is no answer to this question.

Comparing the move in pictures, and move out pictures, this apartment is disgusting after defendant moved out.     Defendant is counter suing for return of rent, and security deposit.    

$5,000 to plaintiff, nothing for defendant.   (My sympathies to her landlords after this case was filmed).

Junkyard or Legit Auto Business?-Plaintiff Debra Vogel suing defendant/former tenant Clara Williams-Morris, for two months unpaid rent, and property damages.     Plaintiff had defendant evicted for code violations.   Defendant and four children, and later husband moved in.    Plaintiff says the worst damage was that defendant left cars behind in the back yard, one on a trailer, some without tires.   Defendant claims she told plaintiff that her husband would be moving in, but plaintiff denies that.

Plaintiff, and codes enforcement allege that defendant was running a junk yard, with cars on the lawn, on the street, in the back yard, with photos from the City of Sacramento codes enforcement.   The codes enforcement photos are appalling.    Apparently, neighbors told plaintiff about the property, and she drove by, and called codes enforcement, and started eviction proceedings.     

Defendant blames trash on neighborhood dogs.  I guess she claims the dogs put the cars there too.     Defendant husband buys, fixes up, and sells the cars (illegal in a rental, and residential neighborhood).    Security deposit was $1500, outside photos were awful, but landlady didn't take inside photos. 

I’m shocked the plaintiff could get the eviction that quickly.  

Plaintiff gets two month’s rent, keeps security deposit of $1500, and gets $2,550 more.   She would have received $5k if she would have had pictures of the damages inside the house, and more of the back yard.

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

Plaintiff gets $2500.  

Divorce Debit Drama-Plaintiff father Joseph Young suing defendant/ex-wife Debbara Gipson for fraudulent use of his health care debit card for one of their common children.  (They have four kids, only one under 18). The debit card was tied to an HSA for medical, dental etc., but used only for medical expenses.     Plaintiff says defendant used the HSA debit card for the 27-year-old daughter, not the 17-year-old child.   Dominique Young testifies for her mother, and she was 27 at the time of the debit card use.  

27-year-old daughter is defendant's witness, and says father said she could use the card for over $561 in lab tests, plaintiff denies this.    JJ insists that the 27-year-old daughter is who the plaintiff should sue, and I sadly agree, or else he should pay the bill himself if he refuses to sue the daughter.     

However, I suspect the mother (defendant) did give the information to the older daughter.    I think the older daughter is lying, and took the information to use for her expenses, after she was too old to be on the father's insurance.   

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

Case dismissed. 

(I know someone who tried to use a family member's insurance like this for a surgery.   The two hadn’t yet legally married, and not only were all claims denied, but because of the health care fraud, and they had to pay the bills for everything for the surgery they tried to get paid for by the insurance.   After they married, the person wasn't allowed to get on the company plan with her significant other for a year as a penalty, and had to wait for open season to sign up).    

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

I have seen vintage tile like this, and it sold for over $200 a tile.

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

40th Birthday Party Fiasco -Plaintiff/party planner Kelly Goodwin is suing former friends/defendants Donna and Thomas James Mullen  for failure to pay for the party planning and costs.  The birthday party was for defendant wife.  Defendants claim there was no contract, so they owe plaintiff nothing.

Plaintiff claims she wanted a party for 50, however, 65 or more people showed up.  Defendant claims she thought the party services were free, out of friendship.   Party had a budget of $1500, defendant offered $300, but plaintiff sent an invoice for $4

Plaintiff receives $485.

Ex-Lovers’ Car Clash -Plaintiff Wade Simons (son and car owner) and (mother) Barbara Garde  suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Cherise Milburn for stealing plaintiff son’s car.   The plaintiff and defendant were in a relationship, plaintiff son couldn’t register the car in his name, either because of license or warrant issues, so car was registered and titled in defendant’s name. Plaintiff says his DMV issue was over a previous repossession.    Defendant says the issue was he needed proper I.D., and didn’t have it, so defendant registered the car in her name.

Plaintiff had a Pennsylvania drivers license, and so he couldn’t register the car in Maryland.   However, defendant’s driver’s license was the same state and address as plaintiff’s.

JJ assumes plaintiff was trying to defraud the government.

Plaintiff paid for the car, defendant claims she paid all of the insurance bills, but both drove the car.

Plaintiff gets the car back. 

Used Car Hustle? -Plaintiff/car buyer Rebecca Kelly suing defendant/car seller Michael Robinson because the car he sold her couldn’t be registered.   At least two of defendant’s witnesses couldn’t register the car either.

Plaintiff bought the car, and it didn’t have a valid title, and she couldn’t register the car.  Plaintiff wants her money back. The car was bought for $900, a 1996 Saturn,.   Defendant says he doesn’t know the owner on the title, so between defendant, his two witnesses, none could register the car because of the bad title.

$900 to plaintiff.  Plaintiff gets the refund, and is to return the car to defendant. 

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$405 to plaintiff.

First (2016)-

Social Security Fraud?-Plaintiff Jeffrey Turner suing defendant Marcus Montgomery for failing to build a website for his business (sports wear alley was the website), to sell shirts, and other items for sports teams.  It took five months to get the team jerseys loaded, but the payment method and prices were never given by the plaintiff.   Defendant says plaintiff wanted the business to be low key, so it wouldn't interfere with his Social Security Disability.   

Defendant also says web site for Jersey business needed information that plaintiff refused to give him.    Plaintiff wants almost $4k.  Deposit was $1800 to defendant, second payment was $1695.   

Plaintiff has been on disability for 25 years and he’s only 53.    Plaintiff also didn't get a payment method, corporate filing with the state, tax numbers, jersey descriptions, and didn't register the company name, and buy a domain.   (By the way the website is for sale ever since this case aired in 2016, and still is, so I guess this never was resolved).   

Plaintiff swears defendant was going to negotiate with suppliers in China for NFL jerseys, and that’s not legal, Jerseys in China are not legit, and are counterfeit.  The Jersey’s are for the team, and certain popular players.  If these Jerseys with ‘official’ NFL and other pro sports logos had been imported, they wouldn’t have made it through customs in the U.S.  Defendant says he never said anything about getting jerseys for the plaintiff. 

Case dismissed, filed too early pending plaintiff actions

Ex-Lovers Break It Down-Plaintiff Doreese Simpson is suing defendant/ ex-live-in Ulysses Mullins for tablet, unpaid rent, and hotel costs.   Defendant says plaintiff and child moved in with him at his place, and she barely paid rent.  He got sick of this, and asked woman and her child (apparently more than one child now) to leave.    Plaintiff wants her rent back, but there's no proof she paid rent.   Defendant claims woman lived there for three or four months, and didn't pay her $200 a month rent. 

Case dismissed, no contract.  

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

$973 to plaintiff.

[Carolina Girl]

In the halterview, notice that defendant's wife says "they'll be leaving in 30 days" - sounds like they are constantly on the move to avoid service of process.  I can only hope that after this aired the first time, they brought a tape to the D.A. and shamed him into finally charging these two con artists.

Not to mention the out and out lies the defendants told about the plaintiff in the hallway.  Yeah, sure bitch, he hit you.  And the mother-in-law is the caregiver.  Yeah, okay.  Another grifter.  I'll bet he wasn't even in the hospital - just hiding in the back bedroom when plaintiff came over.

First (2014)-

Teenager Steals from Her Mother? -Plaintiff/ mother Dawn Carmichael suing defendant/ daughter Megan Carmichael for stealing $5000, from her house.  Mother shows the receipts for a $1600 dog, and other fripperies that daughter spent the $5,000 on.   Plaintiff is an Army Reserves, and a nurse in civilian life, and received an overpayment by the military.    Daughter’s counterclaim is for the dog mother sold, lottery winnings, and the rest of the $5,000 she blew on stuff, even though daughter and boyfriend were unemployed (he sometimes packs fruit).

Plaintiff took the check, cashed it, and kept it at the house.   However, the overpayment was a mistake by the military, and there were two checks, and she would have to repay it.  JJ doesn’t believe the mother’s story about the overpayment, and why she had the money at her house.   Mother says the daughter is unemployed, and boyfriend makes very little, but yet the two had a big savings account.   There is an email from daughter to mother saying she will repay the $5,000.   JJ believes nothing about the mother’s story.   Sorry JJ, you repay overpayments, or other debts to the govern

Plaintiff   case dismissed.

Daycare Drama -Plaintiff/daycare provider Encarnacion “Nani” Martinez suing defendant/former client Karen Betsill for unpaid daycare charges after defendant didn’t tell plaintiff her state aid for care ran out.  Supposedly the defendant mother’s one kid won some kind of child care lottery for state aid, and the other child was supposed to be paid for by the defendant.

JJ disregards the application, says it isn’t a contract, and dismisses the plaintiff’s case.

Reckless Driving Mishap -Plaintiff/car owner Joseph Williams Jr suing defendant/car owner Tiffany Reed   after defendant backed into plaintiff’s car.  Plaintiff was driving on the street, when defendant backed into him out of a driveway.   Plaintiff also slipped on the ice after the accident.  Plaintiff was driving past the defendant’s driveway, slowing to turn into his daughter’s driveway, when defendant backed into the road and clipped his car just in front of the driver’s side rear wheel well.

Defendant claims it was all a set-up by plaintiff, says plaintiff was driving on the wrong side of the road, and claims his daughter ran out of her nearby home with a gun and threatened her.   Plaintiff had right of way.   This was in Detroit, in the winter.  

I love the plaintiff’s tie and shirt

Plaintiff receives $1600.

Officer Byrd Takes Charge! -Plaintiffs Kristy Reighard for unpaid suing defendant Binnie Thompson for unpaid rent, and cable, and for punching huge holes in the walls.   Mr. Thompson doesn’t know his rent, when he moved in and out, or anything else.  Plaintiff’s witness is her boyfriend, and saw the defendant punching the walls.   Plaintiff witness says defendant was trying to punch him, and missed, and damaged the wall.  

 Then Mr. Thompson interrupts again.  Officer Byrd has to step in after defendant mouths off in court, and tell him to shut up, stop interrupting, and shouting out.

Defendant in the hall-terview says everyone can kiss his a$$ (ass is bleeped).  

$2485 for rent to plaintiff, and $0 for damages, a total of $2485.

Second (2013)-

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

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

Shellee Cannon actually calls JJ’s remark Crap, without being bleeped.  

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

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

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

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

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

$895 to plaintiff.

First (2016)-

Squatter Extortionist-Plaintiff Tiara Kelly suing ex-landlord/defendant Marvin Augustus for return of rent, property, illegal eviction.   She lived in room in man's house for over two years, but claims she should get her rent back, be paid for her lost property, was illegally evicted, and still lived there while taking the defendant to housing court.    Plaintiff claimed she was over charged for rent, (It started at $300, and went to $500) and her rent should have been rent controlled.  (Plaintiff is a bottle server at events or a club, I don't drink, so I don't have a clue about this job). 

Defendant says renting rooms in a private house is not subject to rent control (L.A. Housing Authority), plaintiff disagrees, and L.A. Housing later said not rent controlled.    So, plaintiff claims the house was disgusting, but she couldn't find another place in L.A. to rent. 

Plaintiff stayed for five months, after she was issued a three-day notice to leave, but never paid rent during those months at all.  I love the defendant's happy smile when he realizes he has won the case.   

No return of any payments will happen after the Housing Authority ruling.  Housing also said they don't have jurisdiction over single family homes, so squatter plaintiff arguing with JJ is despicable.   And if the plaintiff rolls her eyes at JJ again, I want Byrd to boot her (I’m not talking show her the door, but boot her out of the door).  

Plaintiff case is dismissed by JJ, after the “ate the steak” lecture.

There is a counter claim for five month’s rent.    $3,000 to defendant, and nothing to the plaintiff.   (Defendant's daughter says plaintiff is upset she had to move, didn't win, and can no longer dance naked in the defendant's back yard, fortunately, no video of this). 

Plaintiff received $3,000 for back rent.

Entrepreneur on the Hot Seat-Plaintiff/car buyer Jennifer Latin suing defendant/car seller David Tanzi for selling her a Prius with a lien (title loan) on it. (Defendant told to button his shirt, thanks JJ, but next time send Byrd to do it with duct tape).    Plaintiffs were told there was a title loan, but they claim the defendant was going to pay off the title loan, and went to the bank with him, and he gave plaintiffs a receipt for the payment of the title loan.    (The plaintiff looks so much like a lady I used to work with, she could be her twin). 

Plaintiffs went to DMV to register car, told lien was still on it, wait a couple of days for it to clear, but it never did.   Defendant had a few bounced checks owed to the bank, so the bank took the loan payment to cover the checks.  Plaintiff paid off the title loan, because they wanted the Prius ($9,000+), and defendant claims he would repay the money within 30 days.  Defendant never paid a penny to plaintiffs on the Title Loan pay off.   

No one on set admits to ever getting a title loan. 

Plaintiffs gets $1401.

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

Plaintiff in this case was in her driveway, and hurt her leg trying to get the one-year-old out of the way, and also wants money for the one-year-old's injuries when plaintiff threw her 1-year-old child out of the way.     Defendant witness is the defendant's younger daughter, who wasn't the witness that day.  Defendant's older daughter was the witness, but she didn't come to court.   (Defendant needs to get rid of that mustache, and get a better wig). 

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

I find it interesting that plaintiff has animal control reports, but can't open them, so has no proof.     JJ talks to the daughter of defendant, who claims the dog was never outside of the fence.  (I'm guessing that if plaintiff had a case, that some personal injury lawyer would have gone after the defendant, but there is no proof).

(Note to JJ, if you have a settled dog bite in your past, then no insurance company will ever give insurance coverage for any animal you own ever again. So, even if defendant gets homeowner’s insurance, that will exclude any animals she owns.)  (JJ has no idea of the characteristics of a Rhodesian Ridgeback, and calling a Rhodesian Ridgeback a ‘medium-sized dog’ is ridiculous, and a four-foot fence wouldn’t hold that dog.  I’ve known people who had Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and a 10-foot fence was the only type that kept them inside the yard).

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

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

First (2014)-

When Divorcees Fight! -Plaintiff/ex-wife Teresa Winey suing defendant/ex -husband Rudy Cardoza for destroying a home that she owns.      Litigants decided to go into rehabbing, and flipping a house, defendant would live in it, and they would sell and split the profits.   Then, defendant married wife #2, and potential third wife is defendant’s witness.    

 When defendant remarried to wife #2, that wife was a full-time worker, and so plaintiff stopped paying the mortgage.  Defendant adds the tacky statement that he’s still married to wife #2, but is dating potential wife #3. 

Defendant gave plaintiff a quit claim deed, and plaintiff gave defendant $4800 for his portion of the house, and took the house back.     Defendant doesn’t work, so how does he pay the $900 a month mortgage?   Wife #2 was only there for 9 months. He claims he paid the mortgage from his 401k, and checking account.   Plaintiff was paying the mortgage payment, to avoid foreclosure by defendant stopping payments. 

Defendant refused to move out, even after the quit claim, and plaintiff paid him to take the house back.

Defendant keeps interrupting, and yelling at JJ.   I really wish Officer Byrd would go over and kick defendant’s butt out of court.    Defendant says he does take medication, and says JJ does too.

Plaintiff finally got him out of the house, and found a lot of damages.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Repair Nightmare! -Plaintiff/ Lee Kostolsky  is suing defendant/mechanic Matt Kowalski for wrecking his car after picking it up for service.   Defendant finished the car, on the way to test drive it, and take it back to plaintiff, when car slid on ice, and was totaled.   Defendant hit a utility pole, and now plaintiff says utility pole has to be replaced.    Defendant claims totaled car was drivable.

Plaintiff gets $1675 for the car.   And the utility pole?   The real innocent victim here, that was savagely attacked by defendant and plaintiff’s car?

Dog Custody Battle! -Plaintiff Ms. Graham (yes, she’s going by Ms. Graham) suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Sean Bray for costs after he had surgery, and dog custody, and money she advanced him for his surgery.  Defendant says plaintiff had his dog, refused to return the dog, never went to court about the dog until today, never made a police report about the dog.

Plaintiff keeps the dog.  After surgery costs are dismissed.   Plaintiff says she loaned him $1483 for the surgery.     Defendant wants $300 for a refrigerator he sold to her, and she never paid for.

Defendant admits the $1483 was a loan from plaintiff.  

$1483 to plaintiff. Defendant claim dismissed.

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

$ 1,683 to plaintiff.

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

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

Plaintiff claims defendant illegally did fund raising for her horse.    Plaintiff will pay vet bills, but there was only one visit, $185.00.    There were $60 in farrier bills, and feed/hay costs.   However, daily feed and care of the horse was not in writing, and plaintiff claims she wasn’t allowed on the property by defendant.  

Plaintiff called animal control about return of the horse.  JJ has to threaten both litigants about talking to each other, interrupting JJ, and being jerks.  

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

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

Plaintiff and defendant will have to go back to Ocala, and keep their feud going with animal control.

First (2017)-

Hair Salon Rip-Off-Plaintiff/salon landlord, and building owner John Thorpe is suing defendant/former hair salon tenant LaTanya Rice, who 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, can be 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). 

I agree with plaintiff’s wife, the first month of late rent should have resulted in eviction.  

Plaintiff gets $2200 in unpaid rent, not furniture. 

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.   

Case was dismissed.  

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Metal Pipe Slam-Plaintiff Kyle Kovac suing former friend and co-worker/defendant James Goolsby for damaging his car with a metal pipe.   Plaintiff was living as a tenant with defendant and wife, and plaintiff stayed after defendant and wife split up.   

Plaintiff drove soon-to-be ex-wife to defendant's place of business, to serve defendant with divorce papers, that's when plaintiff claims defendant hit his car with a wrench or pipe.   Defendant was totally responsible. 

 $2,383 to plaintiff.

Freak Accident Move Out! -Plaintiffs Gina and James Jones are suing defendant /landlord because after a car came crashing through the bedroom of the rental house, defendant refused to fix the house, and won’t return their security deposit.   Car crashed into the plaintiffs’ son’s room, no one was injured.   Driver was no one the litigants knew.   Security was $1550, rent was $1550.   Plaintiffs paid their rent every month.    The car hit caused structural damages inside the bedroom, but defendant denies the damage was structural, or a reason to move out. (This was in Los Angeles).  

Defendant/landlord didn’t take pictures, and repairs took from 31 December, and finished in April.   There was no way the plaintiffs could live in that house, so they had to leave.   Defendant calls the damage “just a crack in the wall”.   The car didn’t come all the way through the wall, but there are cracks above and below the window, and the wall is obviously damaged.

$1550 to plaintiffs. Defendant is delusional.

False Arrest and Harassment? -Plaintiff Donna Williams suing defendant /former roommate for false arrest, moving expenses, and the return of property.      Defendant lives in a 50 and up age restricted community.  Plaintiff rented a room from defendant, and lived there for two months, and one or two weeks.

Defendant claims roommate situation wasn’t working out, he asked her to leave, and she didn’t.  So, defendant went to police, and filed for a restraining order instead of filing for eviction.   There were actually two applications for restraining orders.

As JJ says, you go to housing court to evict tenants, you don’t file for a restraining order. Defendant claim dismissed.   Plaintiff moved out, and two years later she was arrested for a warrant charging she violated the protective order, and she had to pay $1200 for an attorney.

$1200 to plaintiff for attorney fees. 

Stepdad's Good Deed Gone Wrong -Plaintiff /stepdad Norman Lewis  suing defendant Rogers Clark over the unpaid balance on a truck that plaintiff financed for defendant and defendant’s wife (now divorced) wife is plaintiff’s step daughter.  Truck was just over $5000.   Defendant still has the truck, and stopped paying for truck.      Truck is in defendant, and ex-wife’s name.   

However, since defendant isn’t the sole owner of the truck, he won’t pay for it. 

JJ wants plaintiff to sign title over to defendant, but this was already done.  

Plaintiff step-daughter signs title over to defendant.  Plaintiff gets $3600 for the truck loan.

Second (2013)-

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

Defendant husband has two or three different child support cases with two different women, besides the wife.    The loans were for husband’s non-payment of child support $3000, and bail.  

Defendant husband doesn’t know about child support, or anything.  Yes, defendant husband is stupid, and doesn’t really know how old his kids are, and doesn’t see them.   Defendant husband had a heart attack, two or so years ago, and doesn’t work, at least standing up.   Defendant wife is a CNA, and 2 kids with husband, and two others.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Plaintiff case dismissed

First (2016)-

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

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

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

Plaintiff $4,300, defendant zip. 

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Case dismissed for both sides.  

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

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

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

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

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, or I would have parked by fanny with her hollared "Sit 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.  (Actually, as a long time watcher of Parking Wars, a vehicle operated on the road by an unlicensed driver, or uninsured, or lapsed registration, leads to an F-stop, which is a mandatory tow and impound).

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

Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant case dismissed. 

Second (2014)-

Sister Fight  -Plaintiff /sister Laura Ruiz suing 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.  Defendant 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.

First (2016)-

Winning Lottery Ticket Thief-Plaintiffs David and Kathleen Pursel purchased winning lottery ticket, and are suing defendant Shawn Linwood for stealing their ticket, and cashing it in, with the help of his father-in-law (defense witness).   Plaintiffs sent claim ticket in, and sent it to the lottery, never received the money ($1750).   They found out it had been cashed in, and found from the lottery that defendant cashed it in at the lottery office.   (This is for the Oregon Lottery).   Plaintiffs sent their ticket to Lottery headquarters in Salem Oregon, ticket was cashed, and they filed an FOIA request, and it had defendant’s information on it.  

Defendant Shawn Linwood, says father-in-law Richard called him, said he found the unsigned winning ticket (at the bar where the ticket was bought by the plaintiffs), and wanted defendant to claim the ticket (to avoid FIL's back child support orders).     

The defendant, FIL, and then wife lived together at the time, but def. claims FIL called him on a cell that mysteriously croaked before court.   Defendant witness claims it was a gift, then he bought it off of some guy outside the bar, and then plaintiffs caught up with defendant thief, and threatened legal action.   

$1750 to plaintiffs.   

Read What You Sign-Plaintiff Trudy Brady work at used car lot, and sold car to defendant, Marasha Lindsey, a 2006 Toyota Avalon for $11,950 (commission to plaintiff $560).   The defendant didn't have the down payment, so plaintiff loaned the defendant $2700+ for the down payment, still owes $1030 on the down payment.   Defendant totaled the car, and never paid down payment off.   

Defendant signed a promissory note for the down payment.   Defendant claims she didn't know what she signed, what she owed, and doesn't think she owes anything.   Insurance covered the cost of the car, but defendant never paid the debt to plaintiff.

$1030 to plaintiff.  (Yes, a 10% interest rate on the down payment is legal, when you have bad credit).    

Second (2016)-

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

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

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

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

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

Case dismissed. 

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

 Everything dismissed, because it was all ridiculous.

What I can't figure out is if they (the plaintiffs) sent in the winning ticket with the form to the lottery office - how did that defendant get the ticket to present in person?  Did I miss how he pulled it off?

First (2014)-

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. 

Plaintiffs do admit that sometimes they redeem the pawn and get their item back, and sometimes they don't.   

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 plaintiff’s property.   Defendant says "Maybe".    Items were pawned in 2012, and 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'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, 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). 

(If I was the defendant, I would ban the plaintiffs from the pawnshop). 

Second (2014)-

Widower Waiter’s Bailout -Plaintiff Minerva Spurlock suing defendant Darrell Abascal for loan for bail that wasn’t repaid.  Defendant was on probation for petty theft, for two years.   $1060 was the bail amount.

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.

$600 to plaintiff. 

Colliding Bike Boy -Plaintiff Paul Mancini suing defendant/ mother Shawn Maynard (father), and Melina Herrick (mother) for their son Devin Maynard (age 12) hitting plaintiff’s car with his bicycle.    

Devon was going west, turned left when traffic was stopped, and hit plaintiff’s car (Devin says he T-boned the car, but damages are on the driver’s side of the car).   Devin claims plaintiff hit him, but JJ says that Devon hit the center of plaintiff’s driver side.   Defendant father calls plaintiff greedy.

Plaintiff receives $600.

Jealousy Turns to Violence?! -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Sheila  Rodgers suing defendant/ex-boyfriend David Dobbs over a drunken brawl at a hotel room in Las Vegas, for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and an assault.

 The part that proves plaintiff was the aggressor was the video.  Plaintiff claims a friend of defendant was calling her for a date, but how did the friend get her phone number if she didn’t give him the number.

Defendant was in town for business and fun, and told plaintiff he was coming to town, and where he was staying.   Plaintiff went to the hotel to visit defendant. Defendant purchased a double shot of Hennessey for plaintiff, and he drank another double shot too. They returned to the room, and defendant was claimed to be drinking from his big bottle of Captain Morgan rum.   

Plaintiff claims they argued over the man calling plaintiff, and plaintiff claims defendant was drunk by this time.   Plaintiff claims defendant tossed her into a desk in the room, and then claims defendant threw her into the wall and fell over the suitcase on the luggage rack.    Plaintiff says defendant threw her on the bed, defendant went into the bathroom, she grabbed her phone, but didn’t leave the room. Then, plaintiff called the police the first time, but plaintiff didn’t leave.   When police arrived, plaintiff was arrested for an outstanding warrant for unemployment theft, and fraud.  

Plaintiff claims the assault tore a ligament in her knee.   Defendant claims they were both drinking, went up to his room, and that’s when plaintiff told defendant his friend was hitting on her, via phone call. The question is how defendant’s friend got plaintiff’s cell phone number.   Defendant says both of them were drinking and drunk, then he claims plaintiff hit him in the face.   Defendant says after the slap to the face, he told her to leave the room.   Defendant recorded a video of plaintiff following him into the bathroom, and defendant telling her to keep her hands off of him, and to leave.   Then, the video shows defendant reacting to plaintiff pushing him.   

JJ says plaintiff looked a lot more drunk than the defendant on the video, and sounded like that to me on the video soundtrack.   Plaintiff keeps asking him “Why are you acting like this?”.  Then, plaintiff claims she’s going to leave, but she’s calling the police, and that’s when she got arrested for the outstanding warrant.   Her adult daughter bailed her out.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2017)-

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 if a big liar, he's been arrested for two assaults on children, getting him on the sex offender registry, assault cases, evictions, and trespass, false imprisonment).    

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 claims 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).

$3,000 to plaintiff.

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 (he claims he interned for over 800 hours with the police).    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. Defendant still denies he head butted the plaintiff, and is such a liar.

$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 (2014)-

Girl Fight -Plaintiff/former roommate Isabel Christensen suing defendant/former roommate Amanda Bahr for property damages (inherited property), filing false charges, and medical bills from an assault.  Harold Maxwell III is defendant’s fiance, and another roommate, and defendant’s witness.  Plaintiff and defendant are on the lease, but defendant witness was never on the lease. 

Plaintiff says defendant destroyed her property inherited from her deceased parents, and JJ doesn’t care.  JJ tells plaintiff to take a marshal to pick her items up from defendant, even if they’re in defendant’s room. 

Plaintiff has been signed off the lease, defendant is still on the lease, and her witness/boyfriend will be on the lease.  

Everything dismissed.

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.   JJ will not pay appearance money, or plane tickets to defendant until he returns the subwoofer.  

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

Car Blow Up!  – 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.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Handyman Shows Off Gunshot Wounds-Plaintiff Cynthia Martinelli hired handyman /defendant Matthew Lewis for a bargain price, and is suing him for work she paid him for, lock change fees, and to replace the broken vanity top, she's suing for $1049.    Defendant is suing for a false restraining order.

Plaintiff saw man working on neighbor's home, and hired him for $60, and he completed that project.   Then plaintiff hired him for $100, to install a vanity that she had purchased.      Handyman says he opened the vanity box, and opened it in front of the plaintiff, and vanity top was cracked.   Defendant testifies that the vanity and top were rattling in the box when he carried it in.    Plaintiff claims defendant broke the vanity top.   Plaintiff took it back to Home Depot, and had a replacement vanity top.   Handyman disconnected old vanity, took it outside, put vanity cabinet in place, put vanity top on it, and handyman left for the day.  Plaintiff paid him the $100.   

However, handyman says plaintiff needed the connectors for the supply lines for the faucet, so plaintiff had to pick them up.   Plaintiff picked up the plumbing connectors that handyman needed.  She also claims he showed her daughter his bullet scars.  However, this was after daughter showed him her knee surgery scar, and said it was awful, so defendant showed her his gunshot scar to make daughter feel better about her tiny scar.    My guess is that the previous vanity was attached to wall with glue, and it ripped the wall board.    No expert witnesses, or repair bills.   

Plaintiff also tried to get a restraining order against defendant, and defendant claims plaintiff trashed him all over the internet.    Plaintiff's restraining order application is ridiculous, and she didn't show in court and it was dismissed.   

Nothing for plaintiff, and it's exactly what she deserves.   (My opinion is the plaintiff always hires whoever she can get cheap, then tries to cheat them).  

Defendant gets $800. 

Second (2017)-

Unbelievable Lawsuit-Plaintiff /uninsured driver Velvet Polk is suing the driver she crashed into.    Defendant Jeanette Wilson  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. 

Funny!   Plaintiff claims she missed the police the day after the vandalism, because she was driving her kid to school, apparently driving 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).    Plaintiff claims he paid the defendant for the laptop.  Defendant claims he was cheating on her. 

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 (the people I know that went to Virginia College did pay for whatever they needed for work tools, and laptops as a part of their tuition).  Defendant can't keep any of her dates or times right.     

$400 to plaintiff for the laptop.

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)-

Ladies’ Night Out Limo Disaster -Plaintiffs  Sheena Wells and Tamera McPherson suing defendant/limo company owner James Alston for their party bus rental from Detroit to NYC.    The trip was for a “Ladies Night Out”, for $1300 total.   Plaintiffs also tipped driver $200.   Plaintiffs contracted for 14 people in a party bus, 18 showed for the trip, and a Lincoln Navigator is what was sent, the Navigator was 30 minutes late, and way too small. The plaintiffs claim their trip was horrible, no air conditioning, late, vehicle too small.

Driver of car, Mr. Couch, says he was early, at 12:02 a.m., not 12:30 a.m. agreed on, plaintiffs say the driver was 30 minutes late.   Car took passengers to meet the party bus at another casino.    Bus showed up at 1:00, and passengers switched to the bus, and went to NYC.   Plaintiffs claim no air conditioning, defendant claims air conditioning was fine.  

Then, plaintiff witness tells what bus driver told owner’s son, about the failing air conditioner, and a bus window falling out on the highway.       Plaintiffs had used defendant’s services since 2009, and this is the only refund they’ve ever asked for.  

Defendant is counter suing for damaging and trashing his bus.  Driver keeps $200 tip.

Plaintiffs get $1300 for the party bus.

Harassing Car Deal? -Plaintiff /car buyer Belinda Brown suing defendants/car sellers Courtney Williams Jermaine Johnson for repossessing the car, car repair bills, harassment, return of property and wants to be repaid for her property that was in the car ($1,000).   Down payment was $1900, paid by plaintiff, but it needed some work, so plaintiff stopped payment on the check, and never paid anything else for the car.

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

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Defendants get $542 they spent on repo paperwork, can resell the car.

 Bring Back My Child-Plaintiff Holly Leftwich left Florida, suddenly moved to Virginia, and took the baby she had with the defendant Casey Fand with her without notice, and is suing him for the return of her belongings, and her cat.   Defendant has custody of the 18-month-old child.   In 2016 Florida awarded 50/50 custody, but child lived in Florida, and then plaintiff moved to Virginia.    What's does she want the man to do, ship the kid UPS?   

In April 2016 plaintiff moved to Virginia, and filed for a protective order against defendant, after receiving notice of the return to Florida court action.    She had to come back to Florida in May for court, to get child back to Florida.   (Plaintiff has to put in a comment about defendant being in prison for five years, it was for drugs). (Another case where you wonder what the hell the litigants were thinking when they got together, and why birth control, and safe sex seems to be a bizarre concept to the litigants). 

The protective order was to block man from contact with the child, and with plaintiff's cat. (Cat was not a typo).   TPO was granted in Virginia, however, judge in Virginia wasn't told there was a Florida court ruling prohibiting Holly Leftwich from taking the child out of Florida.    TPO was dismissed because plaintiff went back to Florida.   

Holly Leftwich. left her cat behind in the apartment, and made no arrangements, (she was gone for three months) and keeps telling JJ she wants her cat back.  Counter claim was served too late to be heard in court today.  JJ said to refile in Palm Beach County, FL.   Plaintiff didn't pay rent in Florida after she left, and so landlord evicted her.   

Plaintiff claims she only left cat for two weeks, but left for three months instead, and still wants the cat she abandoned back.   What kind of person says she left a cat for three months, and laughs?

 Landlord wanted the possession of the property after the eviction, and wanted Ms. Leftwich's stuff out.  (On a personal, tacky note, I hate her awful bleached hair).   

Case dismissed.    I hope the cat got a good home, and the child is fine, and not being yanked around. 

Second (2017)-

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?

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)-

Chrysler Custody Battle -Plaintiff/ex Robert Sager suing defendant/ex Donna Jahimiak for the return of a car, and a loan.   Plaintiff let ex drive his car, but no insurance, so plaintiff wanted the car back.   Ex took car with her, and isn’t driving the car, because her license is suspended for no insurance.    Car was in both litigant’s names, and loan had no expectation of repayment.

Plaintiff gets booted.

Ex-Fiance Fight -Plaintiff Jose Zamudio suing defendant /ex-girlfriend Sheni Gonzalez for the return of gifts, and an engagement ring.    Gifts are tossed from court.   They were engaged, broke up three weeks later, and then got back together.     Then, plaintiff upgraded to a bigger ring for the second engagement, and when they broke up, defendant kept the ring.  

Defendant claims she lost 90 lbs. and the ring slipped off her finger.

Plaintiff receives $0

Cousin’s Bail Money -Plaintiff Steven Tucker suing defendant/cousin Sherry Johnson over bail money for an arrest for possession of stolen property.

Plaintiff gets his bail money back, $.

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 nonrefundable 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 (2017)-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Case dismissed, because plaintiff is ridiculous.

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 children’s 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 (2014)-

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 Pacific 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.   

Defendant claims plaintiff told her that he was trying to get his name out there.   However, costume was purchased for $700, and costume is returned to plaintiff.   

Everything dismissed, costume returned to plaintiff.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Plaintiff and defendant claims dismissed.

Second (2017)-

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) is 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.

First (2014)-

Mutual Custody Combat? -Plaintiffs Ianiesha Williams and Denzell Glen suing defendants Dominique Adams SSMOT(Sainted Single Mother of Two with plaintiff man), and her mother.    The defendant SSMOT never left the children with plaintiff when they were in relationship.   Then defendant SSMOT moved to Texas, and then moved back.   Defendant SSMOT claims the litigants lived together.

There was a custody exchange, and when defendant SSMOT went to drop the kids in apartment parking lot where defendant and her mother live with the kids.  Defendant claims the plaintiff's  new girlfriend said something about "here's my baby", so defendant SSMOT attacked plaintiff woman, and cracked some teeth.    This was a court mandated custody visit, and when defendant SSMOT saw the new woman, she walked back to her apartment, and told her mother that she wasn't letting that B**** have her kids.    Then Defendant's mother went to the car, and started confronting the plaintiff woman.  And defendant woman said that she wasn't going to allow visitation.   Plaintiff woman claims the defendant and her mother both attacked her. 

Defendant woman also claims since there wasn't a court order for visitation in place, that taking the children to Texas was her right, and claims she gets to decide custody and visitation.  

(Incidents like that are why so many custody exchanges happen at McDonald's or other places with surveillance cameras inside, and in the parking lot).  Plaintiff woman is suing for medical bills from the assault.    Plaintiff man claims his dashboard was kicked, and put a hole in it.   Plaintiff man hasn't seen his children since this incident, in October.    JJ advises that the plaintiff man should sue for full custody, because defendant is ignoring the visitation order.   

There is an order from November that the parents must arrange visitation.     Both defendants have a rotten attitude, and I hope the plaintiff did get full custody.   (This has been six years, so the little boy would be 10 now, and the baby would be in elementary school by now). 

Plaintiff receives $5,000. 

Second (2014)-

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-day’s 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.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2016)-

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

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

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

Plaintiff gets $4317 for car damages.

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

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

$1789 to plaintiffs.   

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

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

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

 $500 for plaintiff.

Second (2017)-

Bitter Custody Battle-Plaintiff mother Janette Ward and new boyfriend Travis Galloway fighting 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. 

$1250 to plaintiff.

First (2014)-

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 (2014)-

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.

$250 for plaintiff, nothing for defendant.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2016)-

Bad Attitude Ex-Boyfriend-Plaintiff Sarah Wenzel suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Kristopher Wood for unpaid loan she took out for defendant $8,500 to buy a motorcycle.   Defendant simply won't stop making remarks to his ex, and mouthing off to JJ. Hopefully a Byrd boot is in his future (and his various tattoos are ridiculous looking). 

Litigants were neighbors, and briefly romantic, she loaned him money for the motorcycle, and as usual, defendant denies it was a loan.    Defendant wanted $7,500, and $1,000 for tax, license and registration.   Plaintiff took out a personal loan for $8,500, and claims defendant said he would repay the loan within a few months, and plaintiff has text messages.   

Defendant has a tattoo artist job, and a couple of other cash jobs.  

Plaintiff claims defendant smashed her phone after the loan, and before court.  Defendant's witness is his long-time roommate, and sometimes romantic partner (my guess is she's not his romantic partner when he's trying to get some other woman to give him money).   Plaintiff was so foolish to have this person around her young child.

Defendant is counter claiming for window tinting, and something else.   Officer Byrd has to tell defendant to shut up.   JJ questions the defense witness about how long she’s been his roommate, the answer is almost nine years.   Defense witness says she didn’t pick up motorcycle with defendant, and plaintiff is lying.  Defendant's witness is a total liar, and she's absolutely doing the nasty with the defendant. 

Defendant made the first few payments to plaintiff, and she put it in the bank, and he paid $2800 total.  Defendant keeps making remarks about plaintiff sending him naked pictures of herself.   Defendant owes $5700 or about that, and claims plaintiff owes him $877 for window tinting and something else.  Defendant makes a smart a$$ remark again, and JJ rules.  

Plaintiff gets $5,000, and for mouthing off defendant gets nothing. 

Second (2017)-

Professional Driver Crash-Plaintiff Blake Macalus suing defendant Adam Owens for car insurance deductible, over a car accident, when defendant made a U turn in front of him.         Plaintiff was going straight, defendant was behind the plaintiff, defendant went to turn right, realized that he missed a turn, then made a U-turn instead, crossed in front of plaintiff, and the defendant's car was hit.       Both litigants were insured on the date of the accident.  

Defendant was a school bus driver at the time.   Defendant witness (passenger with defendant) swears she saw the cell phone light on plaintiff's phone reflecting on his face.   She testifies she could see him looking down at his phone while he was driving.    Plaintiff's insurance declined to pay his deductible, because he was on the phone.  JJ thinks plaintiff was looking at his phone, and hit the defendant.  (I hope I wrote down the accident details correctly, but I'm not sure of anything).  Photos submitted by defendant show damages don’t match plaintiff’s statement.   

Case dismissed.   

The Ultimate Sister Betrayal-(Another inspiring relationship case of familial love.)-Plaintiff  Corie Kolthoff suing sister/defendant Carissa Kilthoff for unpaid dental work charges (another Care Credit case).   Plaintiff opened a dental care charge card, to pay for defendant sister's dental work, and defendant refuses to pay.   

Defendant says the extra dental work was the plaintiff's fault.   The care credit bill is $7,013.    Defendant admits that the bills are hers.  Defendant claims she paid $550, but left the proof at home.    Defendant's defense for not paying the dental charges is that sister punched her in an argument over defendant boinking plaintiff's guy.   

The argument with plaintiff was when defendant was in the hospital having the plaintiff's boyfriend's baby (this is defendant's second kid with the same man).  After the dental work, defendant refused to pay after she found out plaintiff was seeing their mutual, sleazy boyfriend again.   Plaintiff is still seeing the father of defendant's kids.   

Plaintiff receives $5,000, leaving her still $2000 in the hole.

I was also sorry that the defendant couldn't prove the plaintiff did this (I am not sure how anyone could prove it in this type of situation). However, especially after listening to the crazed plaintiff in the hallterview, I think it is clear that she is a real bunny boiler nutcase.

4 p.m. episodes-

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 $1100 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)-

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

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

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

JJ agrees that the awful text messages from plaintiff to defendant justify the restraining order against plaintiff .  I’m just glad plaintiff moved out, and hasn’t been back.

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

Plaintiff case dismissed.  Plaintiff already retrieved his property from the storage unit, and was paid his $500 security deposit on the evening he was evicted, and the restraining order was in effect.

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

$875 to plaintiff.  Defendant is a total jerk.   

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2016)-

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

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

Plaintiff witness did not know either litigant before the accident.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Second (2017)-

Miniature Schnauzer Return Policy Problem-Plaintiff Celeste Adams suing defendant/dog breeder and seller Jason Veach because the puppy she bought from him (for $850) was sick.  Plaintiff wants money for vet bills, travel costs, and fraud.    Defendant's contract says no cash refunds.   Defendant is counter claiming for boarding the plaintiff's puppy.     Plaintiff paid a total of $850, for a seven-week-old puppy.    Puppy was brought back three days later, with Coccidiosis, which is an intestinal disease, spread by infected animals.   There is a vet health certificate from two weeks before the sale.    Contract says puppy is in good health, and there are a few reasons for a refund included.    Plaintiff took puppy to the vet.   (Note to defendant, Coccidiosis isn't from stress, but an infection).  

$850 to plaintiff, and defendant keeps the puppy. 

Irritating Landlord or Lease Breaking Tenant-Plaintiff Jessica Tompkins suing defendant/former landlord Eduardo Bolorin for return of security deposit, and harassment.     Plaintiff signed a lease, and was a tenant for 15 months.   Plaintiff says she moved out after three months in the apartment, on the second year of the lease, by mutual agreement with the landlord/defendant.   Plaintiff called police about landlord.   Plaintiff claims landlord was constantly texting about noise from tenant's 17-year-old sister, and plaintiff's two young kids.   Plaintiff signed a 1-year lease, and then a six-month lease after that.   If landlord was so horrible, why did the tenant renew the lease?  

Landlord sent a letter to tenant saying that her rent was going from $947, to $1500 a month if she wasn't out by March.    Plaintiff signed the lease amendment.    Defendant has to prove that the $1300 in security deposit was withheld for good reasons, and have proof.   I believe the defendant, not the plaintiff.   I didn’t appreciate JJ saying plaintiff’s 17-year-old sister wouldn’t make much noise, and the 2 and 5-year-old kids could make plenty of noise.

Landlord has no pictures or other proof, plaintiff gets $1371.  

Caught in the Act-Plaintiff Haretha Silas suing defendants/ former friend Michar Harrison, and his boyfriend Don Dyner for damaging her car, 40" TV, and smashing her phone.   However, apparently defendant gave the phone to plaintiff.   

Plaintiff is a Sainted Single Mother of One (SSMOO), and rented a room, and later a back cottage, to defendants, for a month, and three days.    Plaintiff claims she loaned the two men a table, and they left it outside in the rain to be ruined.   Plaintiff has no receipt for the TV either.   

Plaintiff claims the TV damage happened after the defendants moved out, and had a police escort for the move out.    Plaintiff did not legally evict the defendants.  

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it's garbage.

Loved how the Plaintiff mom was like "Well, this is the first time I've heard the whole story." Lady, blindly believing whatever wild ass story your kid told you isn't parenting. It's enabling them to be an a-hole.

Newbie here....but I am *desperately* searching for an episode, or honestly just a case, in full. Y'all talked about it here, so maybe you know where one can find an archive? It seems to be missing from most streaming platforms.

Season 22 Episode 59--specifically, the Toni Meadows case. Feel free to delete...I won't be offended. If anyone could recommend a general chit chat group instead that'd be great. :) Reddit groups were no help. haha!

[CrazyInAlabama]

Until the episode hits a streaming site, or reruns on TV, there is no source.   I keep wondering why they haven't put the entire run of shows on a streaming channel, but they haven't.    There is an owner for the entire JJ library, so that might happen someday. 

 If it's called "Domestic Abuse or Working the System?", since it's from 2017, it might rerun in the markets where JJ still airs in the afternoons.    The reruns where I live are 2013 and 2014, and 2016 and 2017, since I have 2 hours on weeksdays. 

  The 2016 and 2017 reruns are the ones most people see if they still have JJ on locally.   Since it's a 2017 episode, it might turn up again on the reruns one day, until then it's gone.

First (2014)-

Busted Windows -Plaintiff Jessica Glover suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Ryan Hayes for an unpaid 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.  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 (2014)-

Sober-Living Knife Attack? -Plaintiff Cowell Hayes suing defendant /former sober living roommate Allan Parks over an attack at a sober-living home, plaintiff claims he had to move out, claims a false arrest of plaintiff from allegations to police made by defendant, and for medical bills.   Plaintiff got arrested. Defendant is counter claiming for $1,000 for medical bills, claiming plaintiff attacked him and slashed his face and hand.    The sober living building has a cafeteria, where the men ate together, and then went to plaintiff’s apartment/room, where the fight happened.   

Plaintiff’s case was dismissed by the court.  Defendant testified before the grand jury, but the case was not voted to be heard in court by the grand jury (a No Bill).  Plaintiff was in jail for four days. 

 I love the defendant witness’s, fantastic pink patterned bow tie.  Defendant witness is Mark McClain, a substance abuse counselor

Ruth Carruthers, another resident, testifies for the plaintiff, and saw the fight, and called the defendant witness for help. 

Both cases dismissed.

Table Thief? -Plaintiff Amanda Maltese defendant /ex-boyfriend Jorge Medina over a dining room table plaintiff asked defendant to store for her.  Eventually, defendant gave the table away after plaintiff didn’t pick it up.  Plaintiff bought another table, so she’s not getting any money.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Truck or Cash! -Plaintiff Patricia Coronado suing defendant Ben Aguilera over a loan for defendant to buy a truck.   Plaintiff is now a SAHM of two children 17 and 5, and lives off of child support.   

Defendant left plaintiff, and is now back living with his ex-wife, and their two children.   As usual, defendant claims the truck was a gift from plaintiff, and was from the wages plaintiff earned working at Walmart. 

However, litigants were living together, paid $600 of their $650 rent, and other bills. 

Defendant told to sign the title over to plaintiff, or pay her $2000, and he chooses to keep the truck and have the show pay the money.

First (2017)-

Bed Bug Battle-Plaintiffs / trailer park owners, Roger and Beverly Anderson suing defendant/former tenant Kenneth Groff over social media postings about bed bugs throughout the plaintiff's trailer park.  Plaintiffs want to be paid for harassment.  Defendant was living at the park, and helping to manage the park.   He claims he stopped paying lot rent because the park was infested with bed bugs, and signed trailer over to park owners in lieu of lot rent.   Plaintiff says they fired the defendant, and defendant says he quit.  (This happened in Bakersfield, CA).  

Plaintiffs say only the defendant, and his friend's trailers were infested, because they picked up junked furniture from the side of the road.   Defendant and his witness both claim they told the plaintiffs about the vermin, but plaintiffs deny that.  

Plaintiff's park manager Kathy Murphy says that no one ever told her about bed bugs.  Defendant and his witness both used the same pest control company to treat their trailers.     (My guess is both defendant and witness picked up infested furniture, and didn't want the park to know that they brought this infestation to the park, so they didn't tell the manager). 

Sorry, but just because a pest control person claims there were bedbugs, doesn’t mean it was legit.  I wonder if JJ comfirmed the pest control company exists?     

I hope defendant and witness realize that bed bug treatments aren’t just a one time event, and anything they took with them probably carried all of their various infestations with them.  

Plaintiffs get nothing, since they accepted the trailer in lieu of rent, $1200, and spent $1200 fixing it up, and sold it for $2000.  Both defendant and witness moved out.  

Small Business Fail-Plaintiff Leticia DeLeon suing defendant / business owner Amie Lapada (business is gone now) over nonpayment of a loan for her care giving business.   Defendant claims it wasn't a loan, but an investment, and that money is gone.   However, defendant closed the first business, and reopened the same business under another name immediately after that.    Defendant is still running the subsequent business, but claims she's the only employee.       

Defendant's witness is a former marketing employee.   He claims the first business shut down, and defendant still owes him.    The defendant claims the old business phone number is gone with the business.   Plaintiff claims that when JJ calls the number that the care provider company defendant claims is shut down, will answer the phone.     The phone number is disconnected. 

There are online Yelp reviews of the second, and maybe third care giving business owned by defendant.   All except one review is awful.   I agree this was a bad investment, but I suspect there are a lot of other 'investors' out there with the same complaint.  

Plaintiff receives nothing since it was a bad investment, not a loan.

Second (2016)-

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

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

Defendant says plaintiff wanted $1700 in vet bills. 

Defendant claims puppy had shots (breeder did these), and was wormed.    There is no contract or guarantee, stating shot history, health records, etc.       Defendant also claims plaintiff wanted almost $2,000 for vet bills.   

Defendant says her 4-year-old Boxer didn’t get along with puppy, so she sold it to another home.    Plaintiff claims puppy had parvo, but defendant’s older Boxer, and her witness’s dog were together with puppy, and didn’t get sick, and Parvo is really contagious. 

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

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

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

Case dismissed.  

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

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

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

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

First (2014)-

Gay Dating Drama -Plaintiff Christopher Starnes, 47 years-old,  suing defendant /ex Aaron Murphy, 23 years-old,  for unpaid loans to pay defendant’s bills.   The two litigants met on an online dating site, Grindr.  Plaintiff gave defendant money, as usual, defendant says it was a gift, and only became a loan when defendant rejected plaintiff’s advances.   (This was in Greensboro, NC).  Defendant claims he was on Grindr to make friends, but JJ doesn’t believe that.

Loans were $300, $60, and $40, and supposedly defendant lied about going to rehab, but didn’t. 

Plaintiff claims in three months money added up to just under $2500. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, no expectation of repayment. 

Bicycle Thief? -Plaintiff Steven Wilson suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Abigail Vaughan for rent, bills, and a flowered purple bicycle.  After an argument, things turned physical, the two litigants broke up, and he wants rent for defendant moving out, and bills, and the bicycle.

Rent dismissed, bicycle staying with the defendant.  Defendant’s share of the three months of bills $142.

Plaintiff case dismissed, except for the bills $142. 

Fire Pit Problem! -Plaintiff Desiree King suing defendant Robert Wiese because his fire ruined her trees. Both properties are 2 ½ acres, and six of plaintiff’s trees were damaged by fire.   There was a fire on defendant’s property, from a trash burning on defendant’s property, and it spread to plaintiff’s property.   Defendant claims burn pit is 500 to 600 feet from plaintiff’s property line.   Two days later defendant heard crackling, saw a fire halfway between the fire pit, and plaintiff’s property.     Defendant says he has no idea how a fire that was thoroughly out two days before spread.    JJ is blaming defendant’s 15 and 16 year-old children, who were home.

Defendant claims the fire pit wasn’t active, except for two days before.   However, plaintiff claims she saw the fire in the fire pit on defendant’s property the day her trees were burned.

Plaintiff claims there was a burn ban at that time.  Plaintiff submits pictures of the trees right after the fire, and one year later.

$4,177 to plaintiff for her trees, removal and stump grinding, and replacement with small trees, so $5,000 including installing the new trees. 

Second (2014)-

Saudi Arabia Housesitting Snafu -Plaintiff Sylvia Erickson is suing defendant Andrew Berger for theft of property, and other damages when he was house sitting.  Plaintiff hired defendant to house sit her dog, two cats, birds, first time for a month, and the second time for three months.   Plaintiff claims jewelry, tools and other items disappeared while she was away, and Berger was in charge of the house.   Plaintiff hired Berger to watch the animals and house for a month, and she was happy with his job.   The second time plaintiff hired him she claims he left the house filthy, and a lot of things were missing.     Plaintiff’s husband works for ARAMCO, in Saudi Arabia, and plaintiff visits him there a couple of times a year.  

JJ is trying to figure out who lives locally, and had access to her house.   Plaintiff has two adult children living in the same town as the house, and several grandchildren.    When plaintiff returned the second time, she says house was trashed, and many things had been stolen.  Missing items are earrings, the 5’ long closet mirror was gone, many tools, and she finally got ahold of defendant, and he denied knowing where anything went, and if anyone was in the house.    One bedroom closet was destroyed by one of the cats.  Defendant admits his girlfriend stayed at the house sometimes.   

Plaintiff says one neighbor has a key, but no alarm access.   JJ claims the adult children, and their teen grandchildren had access, and there is no proof the defendant stole items, or trashed the house. 

My view, I bet the defendant's girlfriend or others took the items.   I would bet that the girlfriend wasn't the only visitor during the plaintiff’s absence.  

JJ will not return the house sitter’s fee to plaintiff, or any damages, or stolen property.Plaintiff case dismissed.

Life Insurance Vacation Spree -Plaintiff Kasie Smith (Kasie is pronounced Casey) suing defendant Hailie Sullivan for defendant’s part of two vacations plaintiff financed, after plaintiff’s husband died.     Plaintiff received insurance proceeds and took two vacations with defendant to Sea World, and Coachella (the music festival if I misspelled it).   Plaintiff claims defendant told her that she would repay the vacation money for her part of the trip. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.   I’m wondering if the $150,000 insurance proceeds are gone, and she’s broke?

First (2017)-

 Outlandish Landlord Demands-Plaintiff / landlord Kim Bach is suing former tenant for property and emotional damage, after she rented him a room in her home.    Defendant Martin Runningwolf moved in April of one year, and moved out the next August.   Plaintiff claims tenant changed the locks to her house, on her.   

Defendant says he did, but only on his private entrance to his room, because plaintiff kept coming in his room.   Plaintiff gave defendant a lease to sign, but he never signed.    Defendant has since moved out, and took the outside door lock with him, so he will have to pay for the new lock.  However, plaintiff didn't put the new lock in yet, and defendant moved out seven months ago.  Lock was $30, and her husband installed it (no, Byrd isn't paying for the labor for the lock).   

Plaintiff submits before and after pictures of the room.   There was an old fridge on the after pictures of the courtyard, but defendant says he didn't own it or leave it.    $725 was the deposit, and plaintiff kept that money.    Plaintiff wants to be paid for repairs to the room, including labor by her husband.    JJ wants receipts for the repair work.   Only one receipt was from Lowe's, the rest were handmade by plaintiff.    

Plaintiff case dismissed.     Security will cover the rent owed, and the tiny amount she paid for damages. 

Mushy Agreements and Alleged Child Abuse-Plaintiffs Justin and Samantha Pellegrino want to be repaid for the loan made to defendants Mark Coonradt and wife Nicole Coonradt.   Plaintiffs said the agreement was that $300 was to be paid in cash (defendant didn't pay it), and do the rest of the loan in work around their house.    Plaintiffs claim defendants called CPS repeatedly with false claims.  Defendants claims they never called CPS on plaintiffs.     Plaintiff Samantha Pellegrino is sister to Mark Coonradt.    Defendant says he completed all but a small part of the work at the house.  Plaintiff Samantha says they loaned $1500, $180 for a DBA license, and $180 cable bill. 

Plaintiffs want $1900, and they're not getting that because defendant worked the loan off.     There is no proof the defendants called CPS, so nothing for that.   Plaintiffs will receive $300 for the loan cash owed. 

Defendants are counter claiming for his tools, but plaintiffs still have them.   

JJ doesn’t like “mushy” agreements.     Is JJ serious, that plaintiffs could possibly have proof of who called CPS?   

Plaintiffs get their $300 when defendant gets all of his tools back. 

Second (2017)-

Mega Landlord Fail-Plaintiff / former tenant Brandy Gist suing defendant/landlord Erik Bauer because he wasn't present when the inspector from Section 8 came to inspect his property.    Plaintiff wants her security deposit returned by defendant.    Defendant has 44 rental properties, and is owner/ manager, and is experienced with Section 8 housing, and plaintiff paid her own $500 security deposit.    Defendant said it would be $1500 security with plaintiff's bad credit, and after Section 8 inspected landlord was given 5 days to make a few corrections.   

On the appointed return date and time the plaintiff, and the inspector showed, but defendant didn't show up for the inspection.    The Section 8 voucher ran out on the 26th, but the re-inspection was the 28th, and she was given a 30-day extension by Section 8.    Defendant's property failed the second inspection, on the 28th, because defendant didn't show up.    

Defendant says his wife died during the month in question, so he was a little distracted.  

Plaintiff had to find another property that accepted Section 8, and passed a Section 8 inspection.  Defendant didn't return her deposit.   I think defendant dodged a bullet by not having plaintiff move in.

Plaintiff gets her $500 deposit back. 

On Again, Off Again Home-Plaintiffs John and Cynthia Stenz were renting out a rental property to defendant Donna Garrison while they were trying to sell it.   They bought the house for an investment, fixed it up, and rented to the defendant.    When defendant moved out she took an older TV, some other furniture, and other items from the house, and didn't pay her last two month’s rent (defendant claims she didn't owe the last two month’s rent), two months utilities.    Defendant claims she only paid rent while house was off sale market, and it was put back on in January, so she didn't pay December and January.    Lease is only month-to-month, and 30 days-notice of non-renewal was given.    It's hard to tell what security deposit was received. 

Defendant owes $2,000 for rent.  Plaintiffs want to be paid for a futon, dresser, bed, etc. that came with the rental house, and defendant took them.   

Defendant says as long as house was off the market, she had to pay rent, and when it went back on the market she didn’t have to pay rent. (This was Palmyra, VA).

Plaintiffs get $2,000 unpaid rent back, and $448 for unpaid utilities, totaling $2,448, and get their furniture and appliances back if they pick the furniture up within five days.  

Mother Daughter Feud-Plaintiff/mother Maria Vaughan suing her daughter/defendant Aleshia Williams for unpaid loans, property damages, and lease fees, and slander.   Defendant wanted small loans (that's gone).   Plaintiff made the huge mistake of co-signing on daughter's apartment, then daughter stopped paying rent, and moved out early.      Rent was $389, lease went to August, but defendant moved out in June.    So, plaintiff had to pay for June, and July.     Apartment was 4 bedrooms, and three other young women lived there, and landlord rented the rooms individually.    

Plaintiff says defendant moved out to be with her boyfriend (not the father of defendant's seven month old baby), in Richmond, and plaintiff didn't know until landlord sent her bills for rent.    JJ tells to offer landlord a settlement. 

$778 to plaintiff.

And daughter kept saying what a bad mom she had because (paraphrasing) she should be helping her out instead of mom having her own life.  Good for mom for suing daughter.  Daughter needs to grow up (although in reality she'll have another kid within the year).  Why is she continually grabbing the hair on that side of her head?

First (2014)-

Bottle Assault -Plaintiff Nickolas Rotta suing defendant Gianluca Rossato for 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 claims 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.

Second (2014)-

Dog Breeding Beginners -Plaintiff  Trina Dorrier suing defendant /ex-boyfriend Michael Jehn for vet bills, the value of a dog, and an assault.       Plaintiff claims a puppy that Michael Jehn’s dog, a Jack Russell and Mutt mix produced, is her property and she wants the puppy back.   Plaintiff claims the dogs are a purebred Jack Russell Terrier, and Chow mix.    There were seven puppies in the litter, two males are with defendant, one is with plaintiff, four were given away by defendant.

All of the puppies went to the plaintiff’s sister’s house.   Defendant didn’t take the puppies when he moved out of the sister’s house, after four days.   Defendant didn’t see the puppies for almost four months, because the friend he stayed with couldn’t have dogs there.     Defendant says the two dogs he had ‘mysteriously disappeared’.

The only puppy that was left was T.J., and two dogs had disappeared.    Plaintiff let the dogs run loose.  Only one dog was left, and defendant got the dog.   When plaintiff went to the area where defendant lived, about an hour away, and she would take the dog with her to visit.     Then, plaintiff went to her son’s house, he lives near defendant, and dog was with defendant for the weekend.    Then, litigants spent the next week together at his house, then they had an argument, and police were called.  

JJ asks plaintiff if she was sober when the police visited, plaintiff says she was drinking.    The defendant was drinking, and defendant says his landlady called police.   Then, plaintiff’s sister came to get plaintiff, and took plaintiff back to house where plaintiff and sister live, and defendant kept the dog that the custody fight is over in the case.      Unfortunately, plaintiff doesn’t seem to be a good dog owner, she lets the dogs run the neighborhood, and at least two were run over or disappeared. 

Defendant is counter suing for the value of two puppies that disappeared when plaintiff had them.  Defendant case dismissed.

Defendant keeps T.J. the dog, which is a better home for T.J.

JJ points out that most of the puppies were given away so no value.

Plaintiff gets $500 for the value of the dog, and defendant keeps the dog.

Evicted Sisters -Plaintiff/older sister Lee Payne suing defendant/younger sister Aliyah Hensley for fees from their eviction from an apartment they leased together.   Both litigants signed the lease.  However, the lease copy is only plaintiff’s name signed on it, but defendant’s name isn’t on the lease, and the landlord’s signature isn’t on it.

The litigants moved in together, defendant lost her job, and the litigants were evicted for non-payment.  Plaintiff wants return of rent, and eviction fees.   JJ wants plaintiff’s checks to landlord, but she used a prepaid debit card, and has no proof of payment.

There is also no proof that plaintiff paid the eviction fees of $1300.  (Note to plaintiff, when you can’t pay your rent, but can pay for a big ass tattoo of lips on the upper boobular area, JJ doesn’t care about your stupid case, and neither do I).

Plaintiff case dismissed.

You Made Me Lose My House! -Plaintiff /landlord Angel Pleva suing defendant /former tenant Tamara Zaragoza for causing massive damages to her rental home.   Plaintiff wants $2500 for damages.  Plaintiff bought the home, lived in it for three months, then rented it out to defendant.   Plaintiff wanted to keep the home for her retirement home, but house was damaged by defendant.   House was turn key, and after tenant moved in, garage door and openers were damaged.   Plaintiff is selling the home after defendant moved out, and after plaintiff had  house repaired.  Lease was for tenant, her husband/boyfriend, and three minor children (ages 8, 11, 13).

Defendant was evicted after multiple complaints from neighbors, non-payment for additional tenant, additional tenant turned out to be daughter, boyfriend, baby.    However, plaintiff says there was no proof the daughter was related to defendant.   Plaintiff claims landscapers were offered drugs by defendant, and her relatives.  Defendant claims daughter was only in home two weeks, but over a month later defendant wanted daughter authorized as a tenant.    Plaintiff submits a receipt for huge amounts of garbage removal, landscapers to remove three foot deep grass and weeds. 

JJ will consider a bill for trash removal.   I believe the plaintiff, and nothing the defendant says.   The grass in the back yard is so high that the lawn mower is buried in weeds.

Plaintiff gets $250, and $250 for windows and screens, total $500.   Security deposit is forfeited, for last month’s non payment of rent.

Disgusting Dog Mess?! -Plaintiff /landlord Timothy Anderson suing defendant/former tenant Carrie Wagner for unpaid rent and property damages, including damages from defendant’s four dogs in his rental house.    Defendant is counter suing for property.   Plaintiff remodeled in 2008, lived there for 13 years, and moved out, then rented to defendant.   Lease allowed two small pets.

Plaintiff says home stunk from wet dog smell, dog stains in every room on the carpet.   Defendant had four dogs, but only a pet deposit for two dogs.     However, right after move in defendant added another big dog, and another one after that. 

Plaintiff’s before move in pictures are lovely, and were for rental.       After pictures from plaintiff are hideous, you can see the rugs are ruined, yard is bare, trash everywhere.      

Defendant and husband/boyfriend and children moved in, husband died, and the rest of the family,  did nothing to keep up the yard, which was beautiful before they neglected it.     JJ is actually nice to the plaintiff.

JJ blasts the defendant for her lack of housekeeping, the yard trashed.   Defendant claims she had the bedroom cleaned, but that does nothing to get rid of pet smell.     Defendant is full of excuses, but nothing that makes sense.

$4800 to plaintiff, exactly what he asked for.  Defendant’s stupid claim dismissed.   

Second (2017)-

Sneaky Boyfriend Discovery-Plaintiff John Hall III suing his former live-in boyfriend, Saverio Franciosa over laptop damage, and an unpaid loan ($200).   However, the video of defendant destroying the laptop, right after he got up, is a total sham.     I agree with JJ, they're a couple of scammers that just wanted a free trip to L.A., and TV money.        Months after they moved in together, plaintiff looked at defendant's phone, and found defendant was cheating, and sexting other men.    Plaintiff has a video of defendant smashing the laptop, but the defendant doesn't look like he's just out of bed, he's fully dressed including sneakers and a ball cap.      

Laptop wasn't replaced by plaintiff.   Defendant claims his phone insurance replaced the phone.   

Cases dismissed, because the litigants are liars.   

Mommy Dearest Debt-Plaintiff Jane Kelly suing former friend Elizabeth Henke, for damage to a rental home, caused by defendant's daughter.  Residents of the house were the defendant's daughter, and a 16 year old granddaughter.   Plaintiff rented home to defendant for her daughter, and was the guarantor on the lease, and for damages.   There is actually a signed lease, and defendant signed as guarantor of her daughter's rental.   

Plaintiff says the damages were almost $1000 more than the $1550 security deposit.   Defendant claims landlord said she could have a dog, as long as it wasn't a certain breed.   Plaintiff/ landlord denies that a dog was allowed without tenant going through the property manager/real estate office, and paying a pet deposit.   Plaintiff said the defendant had to go through the realty company, and do a pet deposit for the dog, but she never did.  Plaintiff says there were no pets allowed in the lease, and carpets were five years old. Defendant admits she had at least one cat that wasn't allowed also.     Defendant's daughter had a Shepherd/Husky mix, and a cat.  Defendant daughter claims all the damage was there when she moved in.     Plaintiff also says the bedroom had damages from smoke too. 

Plaintiff's realtor did a walk through with defendant daughter on move in, and plaintiff did a walk through with defendant daughter on move out.    The damages include destroyed window screen, a spa cover the dog destroyed, back yard is full of big holes, smoke damage in the bedroom, scratched doors from dog.     

(After five years, replacing the carpet is a good idea, to get top dollar from another renter, or if you're going to sell the property.  Especially since the defendant's daughter had a big dog, and the cat, and who knows how many other animals).  $1550 was the security deposit, plus additional damages, and plaintiff wants $852 more for damages

Defendant daughter apparently had a bad history, according to the remark that plaintiff slipped in to her testimony.     

$500 to plaintiff, and she keeps the security deposit.  (I think the damages paid to plaintiff should have been $1,000).

Pit Bull Attacks Child – Plaintiff/landlord Sa'de Lablanc is suing defendant/tenants Colin Felch, and Blanca Harper  over attack on her child by defendant’s Pit Bull.   Little girl testifies about the attack.  Defendants are still tenants, and plaintiff wants them out of her property.   Plaintiff's daughter, and defendant's children were playing, when 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 kid, and the defendant's 6 year old girl were wearing play boxing gloves. 

Plaintiff says when she signed lease with tenants they were going to put up a fence around their yard, and 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 receives $1 (No unreimburse medical bills, nothing else that plaintiff is out).  

Is Ex a Thief? – Plaintiff Stephanie Endres suing defendant/ex-boyfriend  EJ 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. 

Second (2014)-

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.

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 Dorsey suing 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 is 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).     

Everything dismissed.

Second (2017)-

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.    

$1800 for plaintiff.

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 is a full time student, and her peace and quiet was important.   Plaintiff claims house was too noisy to sleep in peacefully, and 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 litigants 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 (2014)-

Dog Rescue, Robbery and Assault -Plaintiff Ben Stern suing defendant/former friend Saffia Elhuraibi for repayment of bail, $3655 and for assaulting him with a knife.      Defendant claims she was arrested for stopping a man from beating a dog, and she was arrested for second-degree strong-arm robbery, total bail was $25,000.  

Defendant spent about a week in jail, before she was bailed out.  Plaintiff says he agreed to bail her out, and defendant said she would pay him back.  Defendant says she never agreed to repay him.

Case was plea bargained for second degree theft.

Then, plaintiff claims defendant slapped him twice, went after him with a knife, and plaintiff and brother wrestled knife away from defendant.   Then, plaintiff claims defendant punched him in the face twice, and then threatened him with the knife. After all of this violence, plaintiff’s brother is still dating the defendant.

JJ doesn’t see a real agreement to repay plaintiff by defendant.

Plaintiff case dismissed.    

Damage Denial -Plaintiff John Gelina suing defendant Samantha Allen for unpaid tickets, and damage to a car in his name.   Plaintiff bought the truck, kept it for about six months, and then ‘sold’ it to defendant for her taking over the payments, but she returned it instead of paying for it.  Then, plaintiff had a bad turn in his finances, and advertised on craigslist to have defendant take over the payments.   So, plaintiff needed a cheaper car.

When car was returned, the tickets were in the glove box.   Defendant claims she knows nothing about the tickets.   There was also an Easy Pass violation, and a Toll violation.    

Plaintiff says there are damages to the passenger side of the car.   Defendant claims car was damaged when she got the car.   Defendant claims there was no damage on the car when she got it, and none when she returned it. 

Konopka, defendant’s witness claims there was no damage on the car when it was picked up or returned.

$124 to plaintiff.

Wedding Banquet Foreclosure -Plaintiff/bride Dawn Flynn suing defendant/banquet hall owner John Vaughn for her cancelled wedding reception, and not returning the money she paid him, after the facility was foreclosed on.   It was the Camelot banquet hall.

 Plaintiff heard the venue was out of business on the local news. 

Deposit was $500.

After the case, defendant says they were in foreclosure for two years before the bank pulled the plug.

$500 to plaintiff.

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 (2017)-

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.

Until the episode hits a streaming site, or reruns on TV, there is no source.   I keep wondering why they haven't put the entire run of shows on a streaming channel, but they haven't.    There is an owner for the entire JJ library, so that might happen someday. 

 If it's called "Domestic Abuse or Working the System?", since it's from 2017, it might rerun in the markets where JJ still airs in the afternoons.    The reruns where I live are 2013 and 2014, and 2016 and 2017, since I have 2 hours on weeksdays. 

  The 2016 and 2017 reruns are the ones most people see if they still have JJ on locally.   Since it's a 2017 episode, it might turn up again on the reruns one day, until then it's gone.    

Yep, that's the one. Thanks for the tip....I'll add it to my dvr and hope for the best, I guess!

First (2014)-

Friendship Fiasco -Plaintiff Andrew Beckerman suing defendant /former friend Humberto Munguia for a mortgage loan, and the cost of a vacation.  Defendant claims plaintiff drinks too much, and because of that he has memory issues.   Plaintiff was in a roll over accident in 2008, and he’s been on 100% disability since, and received a settlement for bad payments for $35,000, and that’s where the $4485 to loan defendant came from.

Defendant and sons did move the plaintiff.

Plaintiff has multiple bandages, and uses a cane.

Plaintiff case dismissed, no proof of loans.

Car Custody Triangle -Plaintiff/son Barton Miller suing defendants/his mother Christina Grigolla and her boyfriend Dana Ballard for his personal belongings, and the return of car payments.    Son was purchasing car, worth $22,000 at repo time, and it was put in mother’s name almost three years ago when it was purchased.   Plaintiff claims the interest rate would have been 12 or 13%, because of his bad credit.    Plaintiff has four kids with his ex, his current girlfriend popped out another one, and she’s his witness in court.  

I suspect some kind of fraud by putting car in mother’s name, and so does JJ.    Plaintiff made it evident to loan company that it was mother’s car and insurance was in plaintiff’s name.  How can you have a car insured in plaintiff’s name, but car is registered in mother’s name, and so is car loan.  Car loan interest rate was much lower on mother’s credit.   Officer Byrd is ticked at plaintiff.    Insurance was in plaintiff and ex wife’s name.   After ex wife had insurance in her name, and plaintiff, then the divorce, and plaintiff ex told him she was cancelling the car he had.   Then, plaintiff got a AAA insurance policy on the car, in his late father’s name.    How can you get insurance on a car that you don’t own, and registration and loan is in mother’s name? (This was in Upland, CA).

Plaintiff divorced wife, his mother took ex wife’s side, and then mother repo’d her car from plaintiff.  

Plaintiff wants car payments (not happening, JJ will treat it as a leased car), and his property that was in the car is gone.     Defendant wants payment for damages to car by plaintiff.

Defendant mother says son was renting car as a part of Relay Rides, placing mother’s car at risk, and it wasn’t insured for commercial purposes.   Plaintiff rented car out three or four times (multiply that a lot, I don’t believe him.  Defendant repo’d car because son wouldn’t refi the car loan, and wouldn’t stop renting car out.

I still don’t see how car was insured in plaintiff’s name, he had no insurable interest in it.   However, mother was stupid to do this.   Defendant keeps the car, unless plaintiff refinances the car in his name.  However, plaintiff bought another car.    If defendant can refi the car, then he can get it back and sell it.  Mother had car towed in the middle of the night.  Mother says plaintiff drinks and drives, and with his children in the car.   Plaintiff says in the custody case, defendant filed an affidavit tell of son’s issues. 

Plaintiff case dismissed about his property in the car.     If plaintiff doesn’t refinance car in his name in 30 days, then mother keeps the car, and can sell it.

Second (2014)-

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, or 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 had passed.   

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 lost $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 tree trimmers with the orange trucks) 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).

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 for all of that over bleached hair?).     

Case dismissed.   

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

$500 down on the car (remaining due on car was $3200) , 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 (2017)-

Home Not So Sweet Home- Plaintiff / mother Terri Sohn suing defendant/ son Michael Stocke over rental home damages, and unpaid rent. When he and his wife/girlfriend , moved into her rental home for a short time.   Defendant and his witness,  are not married now, but were married before, and divorced, but now live together.   (This happened in Sparks, NV).

Defendants moved in right after Christmas into plaintiff's condo.   Plaintiff had to file eviction on defendants, who lived in condo from mid-February, to mid-June.   Defendants moved into another house they were buying.    

Defendant claims he paid $700 a month directly into his mother's bank account.  $1,050 is owed for son's unpaid rent. 

Photo of damages to condo are submitted by plaintiff.   

$1,090 to plaintiff for back rent, and two damaged blinds. 

Teen Custody Fight for Pit Bull-Plaintiff Eric Stockstill suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Elzy Segura for the return or value of a purebred Pit Bull.   Plaintiff says he wants dog back from the girlfriend, he bought dog from a rapper.    Puppy was six months old when plaintiff bought the dog.   (Sorry, Pit Bull is a UKC, or Continental Kennel Club registration, which would register a Gerbil if you paid the fee).     Plaintiff asked the defendant to baby sit the dog for him, while he was working, and defendant kept the dog, and refused to return it.  Dog is now a year old, and has no papers.     

Plaintiff is now homeless, and unemployed, and wants dog back to breed, and sell.    

Defendant says in May she received a text from plaintiff saying he couldn't keep the dog, and she said she was trying to find the dog a home.  Defendant says the day plaintiff gave her the dog, the dog got away, and was hit by a bicycle, and vet charged $223 to treat the dog. 

Plaintiff visited the dog, and then defendant gave the dog to a friend, and she's no longer in contact with the current dog owner.    Plaintiff had already bred the dog to his cousin's Australian Mastiff to start a dog breeding business.  And breeding a Pit to larger aggressive breed is how you end up with Pit mixes that are well over 100 lbs. and aggressive to animals and humans. 

Case dismissed. 

Party Profit Dispute-Plaintiff Patrice Deising suing defendant Jomar Haines over an unpaid loan for defendant to throw a party.   Defendant wanted to give a celebrity event to make money, but needed a loan from plaintiff (defendant is her daughter's friend).     Defendant successfully had events before.   Plaintiff invested $7,000 in the event with defendant.     Defendant didn't make any money on event, so he didn't pay the plaintiff anything.  

Defendant says he invested $10k of his own money, and plaintiff invested about $10k also.    

Event did not go well, made no money, and there were no profits to split.   JJ rules it was an investment, not a loan.  So, did they actually have a celebrity at the failed party or not?

Case dismissed.

 Sex for Dental Work? -Plaintiff James Matya suing defendant Meredythe Hoffman for repayment of money he paid for her dental work, $1650.   Defendant claims plaintiff wasn’t paying for dental work, he gave her money for sex.   Defendant offers to give the teeth back to plaintiff.

They met at church, instead of online.     Defendant was in a car accident, had her two front teeth knocked out (I think they were chipped, and had caps put on), and wanted cosmetic dental surgery.   Plaintiff took defendant to his dentist, and they charged $1650 for the two teeth replacements. 

Defendant claims she paid plaintiff $700 of the $1900 dental bill.

Plaintiff claims he figured out defendant was scamming him, after she claimed the person that hit her with a car was her probation officer, so she couldn’t sue them.  

$1460 to plaintiff.

Roommate Rift – Plaintiff Andrew Youngblom suing defendant Ryan Festag after defendant moved out of a house he shared with seven others, and the others had to cover defendant’s portion of the rent.   (This happened at South Dakota State University).  JJ says she doesn’t understand how eight college students stayed in that home off campus without getting bacterial infections.   

Plaintiff says defendant and six others signed the lease in April for the next school year, and then defendant changed his mind.   So, plaintiff and others had to cover defendant’s portion of the rent.  (Plaintiff is doing very well after this case).  

Defendant also had a DUI during the summer before class started again, and the $1,000 fine ruined his finances. 

Plaintiff found a replacement for three months (May to July), and then in August defendant had the DUI, and announced he wasn’t coming back to school and wouldn’t be paying rent until the end of the lease in April.    In September plaintiff asked around to find another roommate, but defendant has a text he claims says they found another roommate.    However, that roommate didn’t work out, and defendant never paid the rent.    

I find it hysterical that the litigants look like brothers, with the same hair color, similar facial hair, etc.  

$1500 to plaintiff.  Defendant is a sore loser too. 

Second (2014)-

Mobile Home Scam? -Plaintiff Liz Lester suing for property damage, back payments, land fees for a mobile home plaintiff was selling defendant Kristi Holinger.   Mobile home was in a fixed location, lived in the mobile in the park for almost two years before she was evicted by the mobile park.  Plaintiff sold the mobile home to defendant, and when defendant stop paying, plaintiff repo’d the mobile home.  Plaintiff can’t resell the mobile, until the back land rent and storage fees are paid to the mobile park. 

Plaintiff held the sales contract, and claims defendant was supposed to pay for seven years, but never paid a full month’s payment.   Defendant is alleged to have stripped the interior of the mobile home, taking appliances, bathroom and kitchen sinks, etc.     Defendant claims plaintiff signed the sales document for the mobile home to avoid disability limits on assets owned by plaintiff.     Defendant claims she paid the mobile park lot rent fees for the full two years she lived in the mobile, except for two months.    Defendant claims she told plaintiff she couldn’t pay for the mobile home, but plaintiff claims defendant never contacted her.

Mobile homes, in some states, are actually titled under motor vehicle rules, not titled until the full payment is made.   Plaintiff was the lien holder on the mobile home.   When I lived in New Mexico, over 20 years ago, a friend had an annual car license type plate for each half of her mobile home.  So, you don’t give a title over until the last payment, just like with houses, cars, and other time payments.    

Plaintiff says defendant was eight months behind on payments to her, and at least two months behind to the mobile park.   Land fees for two months, late fees, $1880 total, but JJ will only give plaintiff two months lot rent, less than $1600.

Plaintiff gets $2660, and that’s all.   Plaintiff got royally screwed, and I bet she has to sell the mobile ‘as is’ to either the park or another buyer, and lose a lot of money.   She will probably be paying on this mobile home for years. 

Pawn Shop Scam -Plaintiffs Tim and Terri Kelter suing defendant/former friend David Emerson for selling their belonging to get money back they stored at defendant’s.   Defendant says plaintiff Tim owed defendant for a loan. They are suing for theft of property.  

Defendant claims he sold the property to the pawn shop, but left the receipts at home.  Apparently, defendant thought he was going to the beach today, or a tea dance, and not to court.  Plaintiff Tim admits he owed defendant money, and says he was storing stuff at the defendant’s place.

Defendant says property was left over 30 days at his place, so it was abandoned (no it wasn’t).

Defendant says he sent a text to plaintiff Tim, to repay the $300 loan, or defendant would sell his stuff, and it was sold to a pawnshop in Spokane, Washington. 

Plaintiff wife claims defendant’s ex-girlfriend bought the TV from the pawnshop for $150.  Defendant says he traded the play station, and a shotgun for a motorcycle.   Defendant claims the motorcycle was cheaper on gas.  Defendant didn’t file a counter claim, so no $300 back for him.

Plaintiffs receive $600

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. 

$3600 to plaintiff

Second (2017)-

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, all paid for by the girl's family and friends, and for weddings 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.

Dogs, Drinking and Death Threats -Dog, Drinking and Death Threats -Plaintiff Dr. Burt Broussard is suing defendants Nancy Rivera, her husband Arnaldo Rivera, and Rigoberto Lemus (her father) for false arrest, threats, and an assault.    Defendant takes care of goats, horses, and dogs, but doesn’t live on the property.   (This happened in Oakley CA). Plaintiff says he’s had a lot of trouble with defendants.     Plaintiff claims defendant killed his dog.   This happened in a rural area, plaintiff only has two dogs, and defendants have farm animals, but don’t live on the property.    Plaintiff claims defendant’s two Italian Maremmas (livestock guard dogs), wander at night and keeps the plaintiffs, and neighbors awake, because when defendant’s dogs come to his gate, or neighbors, their dogs react, start barking, and neighbors have to take their dogs in.    (Dr. Broussard is a chiropractor).

Defendant through his court interpreter, claims there was a note about keeping his dogs inside.    Plaintiff claims the first incident was defendant Mr. Lemus pounding on Plaintiff’s ex-wife who lives in plaintiff’s attached apartment, is his witness. Plaintiff witness claims Mr. Lemus was screaming and harassing a neighbor.    Then plaintiff witness says exactly the threat, and Mrs. Rivera claims witness shouldn’t imitate what Mr. Lemus said.    Plaintiff witness says defendant Mr. Lemus actually threatened her, and that’s when she called 911, about her situation, and the neighbors.   

After an incident a while later, plaintiff went to back out of his driveway, he saw defendant Mr. Leumus, and asked to talk to defendant.     Then, plaintiff claims defendant Mr. Lemus flipped him the bird.   Mrs. Rivera was with father, and her younger sister, she claims plaintiff threatened them, but she was too busy comforting her minor sister, to call police.    Police report says that plaintiff was drunk when the police arrived.  Defendant Lemus claims plaintiff trespassed on his property, and shortly after that plaintiff’s dog disappeared.    No proof what happened to the plaintiff’s dog.

What is JJ’s problem with plaintiff drinking on his own property, in his own home?   Plaintiff took a plea in the case, to making too much noise.    Therefore, false arrest is dismissed.  (I believe the plaintiff and his witness, and think the defendants are liars).

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Defendants are suing for harassment.    Mrs. Rivera claims plaintiff yells nasty things at her father, and her daughter.

Defendant case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Teen Vandal? -Plaintiff/landlord and cousin Travis Needham suing defendant/former tenant, and his cousin, Marsha Tucker for stolen property and vandalism to plaintiff’s rental property.  Defendant says house was trashed when she left, and blames it on her teenage son Russell.  Defendant paid for the last month’s rent.  Defendant lived in house with her husband, and teenage son Russell.   (This happened in Kansas, and defendant moved back to Indiana).   Defendant and her crew of vandals left to go back to Indiana early.    Defendant is counter suing for plaintiff posting pictures of the damages online, saying her family did this, and pictures embarrassed her. 

There are pictures from plaintiff of the move out, with Facebook messages from defendant saying sorry things didn’t work out, and she apologizes for damages, and she says she will work out a payment plan with plaintiff.     

Plaintiff’s photos and messages outline the damages, blamed on son Russell Tucker, including big holes in walls, wrote nasty stuff in the carpet, and they also abandoned their cat behind for plaintiff to deal with.    Defendant delinquent son left drug paraphernalia left behind, tile grout dumped in the toilet in son’s toilet, nasty words written in large letters in the carpet upstairs and downstairs.   Defendant claims she knows nothing about the damages, except a bag of trash.    Defendant claims her son must have done all of the damages when she was sitting in the car.   Delinquent Russell Tucker was 15 when this case aired.

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Children Lost to Foster Care -Plaintiff /landlord Joyce Hengl suing defendant/former tenant Peter Braun for house damages.   Defendant was hired by plaintiff to remodel the house, the defendant, girlfriend and two kids rented the house.  

Defendant claims he couldn’t have trashed the house, because he wouldn’t hurt something he spent so much time remodeling, and besides, he was in jail when the damage happened.

July of 2012, defendant moved in, and in April 2013 defendant was arrested at a friend’s house.    Defendant says he wasn’t at the house after 2 April.   In February 6 to April 2 defendant was in house alone.   Children were put in foster care since February, and girlfriend was separated from him. After defendant had children taken away, he is accused of trashing the house.

Defendant claims he was in jail from 3 April, to 20 April, 2013, and on 30 April plaintiff had the property released to her, and she photographed the damages.     So, from February 6 to 2 April, defendant wasn’t employed, and was home all of that time.  

JJ says defendant did the damages.    Plaintiff says she went into the house with her boyfriend, when house was supposed to be empty, but boyfriend saw defendant in the house, hiding under a mattress.  So, boyfriend told  plaintiff the man was in the house, and she  saw defendant hiding under the mattress.  

Plaintiff has a month-to-month, signed lease, for $750 a month, and paid except in March, and April.  

Plaintiff gets $5,000.

First (2017)-

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)-

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.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2014)-

Roommate Revolt -Plaintiffs Hayden Collins and girlfriend Jessica O’Mahoney are suing defendant/former roommate Anthony Ghera for unpaid rent.     The three lived in a previous apartment together, then had a couple of month’s gap, and then the three found the new apartment.

Defendant is claimed by Hayden to want to move into the apartment, to be paying a third of the rent, because there are three roommates.   Defendant says plaintiffs wanted him to pay half of the rent, with plaintiffs paying the other half.     All three signed the lease.   Defendant signed the lease starting in June, but didn’t intend to move into the apartment until August.  

Defendant says the plaintiffs had other roommates in June and July, but there’s no proof.   Plaintiff Hayden says the end of August, defendant told him that he wasn’t moving into the apartment.   There were other roommates in the summer.  

10 days later, defendant signed a roommate release on the apartment.   A new roommate didn’t move in until the end of November.   Plaintiff still wants six month’s back rent.    Defendant says before he moved in the plaintiffs said that defendant would have to pay half of the rent.  

Plaintiff will get one-third rent for September, $400.   However, defendant was to have one bedroom, and plaintiffs shared another bedroom.  Defendant claims on the previous apartment that they were evicted because a friend of plaintiff’s was involved in a shooting, but wasn’t a roommate.   Defendant had to pay over $2000 in damages and eviction fees, because defendant was the only person who was on the lease. 

Plaintiff gets $400 for September’s rent. 

Puppy Payment! -Plaintiff Kyle Worden suing defendants Bryan Glad and girlfriend Kimberly Grahl over a dachshund puppy, and wants his deposit back.     Plaintiff only wanted a specific female puppy, a silver dapple Dachshund, AKC registered, on a contract $100 deposit non-refundable, and $500 left to pay.   Plaintiff says defendant Bryan sold the puppy to someone else.   Defendant says since plaintiff couldn’t pick up the puppy in two days, and wanted to wait a week to pick her up, the defendant sold the puppy.    

Defendant said plaintiff wanted to get a male dapple stud, and breed with the female dapple, resulting in Double Dapples.   This is a horrible idea, since breeding double dapples leads to horrible birth defects (no eyes, and other genetic issues).

(From the Alphapaw dot com website:   Double Dapple Awareness – Unsafe Breeding In the Dachshund Community - Alpha Paw (Dapples are acceptable on CKC, and AKC, but not double dapples). 

 What are the Risks? There are lethal genes commonly associated with Double Dapple. The problems associated with the lethal genes in Double Dapples are varying degrees of vision and hearing loss, including missing eyes or “micro eyes”. Blindness and/or deafness can be caused by the Double Dapple gene combination.)

Plaintiff currently has 2 females and 1 male Dachshund, and wanted the dapple female for breeding.    The plaintiff would be getting an outside stud for the female he wanted to buy and breed.

Defendant says the plaintiff didn’t know about AKC, but had CKC (Continental Kennel Club, not like AKC registration). Defendant says plaintiff wanted to breed the female to a dapple stud, leading to the horrible conditions discussed above.  

Plaintiff receives his deposit back $100. Plaintiff claims he won’t breed double dapples, and has a consultant, and I have no doubt this will be a disaster for the dogs.    Defendant says “Rock on Judy” in the hall-terview.

Second (2014)-

Parole Model -Plaintiff /father of child Michael Mast suing defendant/mother of child Katrina Strand for selling his property when he was in jail.    Litigants lived together for about 2 years, and then he went to jail for a parole violation, for Burglary One, from 1987.   Also, plaintiff was 1993 convicted and incarcerated for two counts of sex abuse.  

Defendant says she had to sell his property while he was in jail for the parole violation to survive and support her child.   Defendant was unemployed for a great majority of her time living with plaintiff.  Defendant’s new roommate is defendant’s witness, and plaintiff claims it’s her new boyfriend. Plaintiff’s visits are at the DHS building for 90 minutes once a week.   Defendant visits child who lives with her stepmother’s sister, visits are under DHS supervision for an hour a week.    Plaintiff is filing for whereabouts of child.   

How does defendant think she can put her kid up for adoption, by the stepmother’s sister?.  Or step-aunt of defendant or whatever she’s called.  However, plaintiff is not going to consent.  I wonder if his sex abuse convictions will affect custody?   

  Baby is current in state custody, and defendant is trying to give up her parental rights.   Child was removed from defendant for neglect by DHS/CPS, with aunt getting kinship benefits, and money.  JJ's guess is that the 'adoption' in only so the step aunt can get a lot of payments. 

Plaintiff gets $4347.

Green Pool, Angry People! -Plaintiff Erica Luna suing defendant/former tenant Jonathan Simms for damages to plaintiff’s rental home.    Plaintiff rented to defendant for five years, she was going to move back into the house, and she alleges damages when plaintiff moved out.   Defendant wants moving costs, and that’s dismissed.   Defendant tries to tell JJ that under California code he was supposed to get 60-days-notice to move out. 

Defendant always paid the rent, usually late, went down from $1900 for 18 months, and then down to $1500 for defendant’s hardship, but she never moved to evict him.

The pictures of damages to the rental house are disgusting.   Schmutz everywhere (hope I spelled that right), the stove is ripped apart, the pool looks like a swamp (shocking will cost at least $1000, and cleaning and repairs will be on top of that, if it can actually be repaired).    

Carpet is destroyed.   Plaintiff didn’t bring move in pictures.   The kitchen cabinets are full of junk.  

Plaintiff kept the $1800 security deposit.   Residents were defendant, his wife, his children, and the live-in maid.   So, defendant had a live-in maid,  so why did defendant need a price reduction?  Another, professional tenant.    Plaintiff also says defendant had other roommates, not on lease.

Plaintiff already kept the security deposit. $1800, I think.

JJ as usual, dismissed the carpeting.

Plaintiff gets $0 from JJ, who again proves she hates landlords.

First (2017)-

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).  (I hate how the designer dog breeders claim their mixed breed pubblies are purebreds.  They aren't). 

Plaintiff receives $500. 

Second (2017)-

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 Clark for 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).

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Stalking and Assault? -Plaintiff Donna Wright suing defendant/former roommate George Lytle over abandoned property at her home, she wants storage fees for his stuff in her basement.    Defendant wants money for the property, and for harassment and stalking.   Defendant filed for a protective order, a hearing before a judge, and defendant was granted a protective order for one year.   A year ago, when the protective order was granted, JJ wants to know if defendant told the judge he wanted his property back with an escort, and defendant claims personal effects can be returned by civil standby.  

JJ tells defendant to file for a civil violation of the protective order for not returning defendant’s stuff in her basement, dead TVs, a giant tire, and JJ tells defendant to go get his stuff with a police officer escort.   If defendant doesn’t come with a police escort within 5 days to retrieve his stuff, then plaintff will junk it. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant has a time to pick up his stuff or else plaintiff can junk it. 

Co-Signing Cousin -Plaintiff/cousin Kimberly Taylor suing defendant/cousin Ashley Sullivan for the return of a car defendant repossessed.   Plaintiff had bad credit, and so defendant got the loan as a co-signer, for a Hyundai Elantra, but plaintiff had a suspended license, for a parking ticket (bull pucky).

Plaintiff had no license, her car insurance was suspended because of the license suspension, and fell behind in payments on the car.   Plaintiff had the car for 2 ½ years, and wants her payments back after defendant repo’d the car after the car was in default.    Plaintiff wants her payments back.

Defendant’s mother, is driving the car, has a valid driver’s license, and insurance, and is making the payments.  

Plaintiff wants her name off of the loan, and her payments back.   Plaintiff told to stuff it, and get over it.  Plaintiff just has to hope defendant’s mother keeps making the payments, and won’t get the car back either.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Logo Liability -Plaintiff Lisa Vicenti suing defendant/graphic designer Karen Bauermeister for the return of her fee for a logo, and wants the payments for the logo and brand back, $700.   There is a written, signed contract for $700, with a delivery date for a logo, preliminary design.   The preliminary logo was received, and the final presentation was given to the plaintiff by defendant.   However, plaintiff found someone else’s work she liked better, so wants her money back from defendant.

Defendant did provide the logo, and the branding materials, and the marketing strategy.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Dirty Drug Test? -Plaintiff /former sober Shameka Wilson suing defendant/sober living house owner Michael Ray for trespass, and illegal eviction.       Plaintiff/woman with drug issue who flunked drug test is trying to regain custody of her child, but after failing a drug test she was evicted from the sober living facility.    Defendant also says plaintiff had drugs in her room.  Plaintiff claims she voluntarily went to drug rehab, and then sober living, after having her child removed by DCFS. 

Panorama City, CA is where this happened.     After plaintiff left the program, she voluntarily went to defendant’s sober living facility, and was evicted for violating the rules of the house.   The rules, and what drugs are allowed by prescription are on the intake form.    After two months, plaintiff was evicted for rule violations.    Plaintiff had tickets to go to “The Price is Right”, missing the Sunday house meeting at the sober house.  Apparently, the TV show shot on Sunday.     When plaintiff came home about 3 p.m., staff wanted a urinalysis, and plaintiff claims she wasn’t allowed to watch staff member test the urine.  

JJ is upset the cup (the cup tests the urine for 25 or more substances), wasn’t kept, when plaintiff flunked the test.   The bottles aren’t kept, because there are hundreds of them.  Then, staff searched plaintiff’s room, and defendant says the drugs were found in plaintiff’s room.  

JJ is upset that the staff member, who since left town, can’t testify.   So, JJ thinks employees are required to stay in a job when they get a better opportunity?   

Linda, the former manager showed defense witness the Norco bottle Linda says she found in plaintiff’s room.  (Norco contains a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. Hydrocodone is an opioid pain medication).

Plaintiff claims she had arguments with two staff members on the day of the Price is Right filming, and claims the drug test was faked, and she was illegally evicted.  I can't believe JJ fell for the plaintiff's ridiculous story.  

DCFS wants random tests, and plaintiff claims she passed them, and has her child back in her custody.

Plaintiff will get her May rent back $175, because defendant has no witnesses to confirm the drug test fail.

Pink Boot Scuffle -Plaintiff Elizabeth Minardi suing defendant Emily Borden (her sister-in-law’s former personal care aide) for defendant throwing snow and gravel, and ruining plaintiff’s pink boots by drenching them in snow.  

Plaintiff chased defendant outside ruining her special, beloved, and spectacular pink boots.   Plaintiff claims defendant was stealing from the sister-in-law, and chased her when defendant ran out of the house, and when defendant left the drive way the car threw snow and gravel and dirt on the boots.  

The plaintiff says defendant grabbed money off of the table, on her way out the door, and plaintiff was talking to the detective handling the theft case.    The boots are a Breast Cancer commemorative product.  

Defendant has a pending criminal case, so JJ can’t discuss it.   Defendant counter claim for lost wages, is dismissed.

Plaintiff case dismissed.   JJ says plaintiff needed to stay inside, and let the police handle the case.  Plaintiff and police had the defendant’s address, phone number, and knew where to find her.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2017)-

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 (2017)-

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.     

$647 to plaintiff.

Casual Gambler Demands Payback-Plaintiff Candance Principe is suing former son-in-law /defendant James Hawley for unpaid loan to pay his bills.     Candance Principe, plaintiff has all visitation with her grandchildren through defendant, not her own daughter (kids are 16, 14, 13).    JJ would like to know where plaintiff had $3,000 to loan to defendant.     Defendant needed money because he was off of work, due to a non-work injury, and didn't get disability approved, so he needed money.    

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.

Disgusting Dog Mess?! -Plaintiff /landlord Timothy Anderson suing defendant/former tenant Carrie Wagner for unpaid rent and property damages, including damages from defendant’s four dogs in his rental house.    Defendant is counter suing for property.   Plaintiff remodeled in 2008, lived there for 13 years, and moved out, then rented to defendant.   Lease allowed two small pets.

Plaintiff says home stunk from wet dog smell, dog stains in every room on the carpet.   Defendant had four dogs, but only a pet deposit for two dogs.     However, right after move in defendant added another big dog, and another one after that. 

Plaintiff’s before move in pictures are lovely, and were for rental.       After pictures from plaintiff are hideous, you can see the rugs are ruined, yard is bare, trash everywhere.      

Defendant and husband/boyfriend and children moved in, husband died, and the rest of the family,  did nothing to keep up the yard, which was beautiful before they neglected it.     JJ is actually nice to the plaintiff.

JJ blasts the defendant for her lack of housekeeping, the yard trashed.   Defendant claims she had the bedroom cleaned, but that does nothing to get rid of pet smell.     Defendant is full of excuses, but nothing that makes sense.

$4800 to plaintiff, exactly what he asked for.  Defendant’s stupid claim dismissed.   

Darn. You beat me to the punch on reviewing this episode. I just saw it yesterday and the validation process for me to open an account on here was pretty lengthy. 

I just wanted to say that I love your review on this. That Carrie lady was absolutely disgusting. She had every excuse under the sun; talking about how her husband died and she wasn't physically able to care for the house and this and that. Then her Peter Griffin lookin son (who was obviously way too old to be living with momma) was talking about how they didn't have the resources to take care of the house. JJ rightly asked him a rhetorical question about them not having the resources to water the lawn? 

Those pictures made me physically ill with what looked like spaghetti sauce all on the range that nobody ever cleaned up, so it couglated on the stove, it looked like carpet had been ripped up, cigarette butts were all over the place. That house was disgusting. 

The sad thing is that the house was absolutely gorgeous before the Wagner clan had moved in. Tim should have sold the house after he remodeled it and would have made off way better than leasing it to those disgusting people. I hope all landlords are on notice about Carrie and her disgusting family. Carrie was trying to lie and got caught lying about the amount of dogs she had. Then she had the nerve to claim that the guide-dog puppy had a few "accidents" on the carpet. The way that place looked, that puppy (and probably the other dogs) messed all over the carpet and then Carrie and them just left it. Talking about she shampooed the carpets. You can't get the smell of urine and dog feces from carpet, especially since she left it there. She obviously didn't clean up that spaghetti sauce or whatever it was from the stove top, so I doubt she cleaned up the dog mess that was left on the carpet. 

Shame on Carrie Wagner for keeping that house looking like that, with her nasty self.

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Mom to the Rescue -Plaintiff/mother Dawn Deoraj suing defendant/former landlord David Warren for return of rent and security deposit for locking her son, Ryan Deoraj,  out after three days of tenancy.  Plaintiff mother rented a room for her 23-year-old son in defendant’s house.  Plaintiff won’t let son stay at her own home.  Defendant’s home is only a mile from plaintiff mother’s home.   Plaintiff son used to live with his girlfriend, and baby, then lived with the mother for a few months, and mother rented him a room in defendant’s home for where he stayed for either three days, or five days. 

Plaintiff says son needs to learn responsibility, and live on his own.   Defendant says son didn’t follow house rules, breached the contract.    Plaintiff paid defendant $1,000.   There was no written lease, just a handshake between litigants.   Mother paid $500 for first month’s rent, and $500 security deposit (rent was $500 a month).  

Defendant will not get to keep security, because tenant did no damages, and defendant kicked son out. Has JJ ever priced how much it costs to get smoke smell out of a room?   It’s about $300.     

$500 security back to plaintiff.  Defendant says they don’t allow sleep overs, and he says plaintiff son had some underage girl in his house, smoking indoors, etc. In either three or five days there were multiple women staying the night.  A lot of JJ’s issues with defendant seemed to be connected to defendant’s paying some of his employees under the table. 

Did JJ really read the defendant’s statement?   He claims plaintiff’s son had an underage girl in his room.  

$1,000 to plaintiff mother.

Cousin Complaints -Plaintiff/cousin Coreyann Henry suing defendant/cousin Mario Godines for unpaid rent, and bills.  Plaintiff wants $3,450 for their mutual apartment.    The residents in the original two bedroom house were plaintiff, and her daughter, later added defendant and his girlfriend, and their two kids, with a third on the way, so the litigants decided they would rent a bigger place.     

Defendant is counter suing for storage fees.    They all moved into a larger rental, and both litigants signed the lease.   Then, plaintiff and his cast of thousands moved into the rental, and after a month defendant took off.   Defendant’s statement says ‘he never pays rent’.    The 2-bedroom rent was $463, the new place was $950, more than double to accommodate the defendant’s family.   (This happened in Chicago).  

What was plaintiff thinking moving 5 more people into her home?  And renting a bigger place at twice the rent?     

Defendant says they were fighting over money missing from plaintiff’s wallet.   Defendant claims plaintiff was lying about the money being missing, and he claims plaintiff spent the money, then blaming other people for stealing from her.     Defendant also wasn’t paying rent, but his girlfriend sometimes baby sat for plaintiff’s daughter.  

Litigants lived in the rentals for six months between the 2 bedroom (3 months), and the larger rental (3 months).   Defendant only paid one month’s rent, on the larger place, after she kicked him out.

After the kickout, the defendant, girlfriend, and the kids moved in with his mother. Defendant’s claims for storage fees are dismissed.  

Plaintiff had to pay for two more months at the bigger rental, and then moved out after an agreement with the leasing company.

$950 for plaintiff for one months rent.

Second (2014)-

Skin Cancer Scare -Plaintiff/mother Shirley Wagner suing defendant/adult son John Fellabaum for paying off motorcycle loans and $500 in medical bills for defendant.   Plaintiff says she bought a rental property for both of her adult sons, the sons were paying $350 each, and defendant was living there with his brother.   Defendant says mother offered to pay off the motorcycle loan, and never mentioned repayment for the motorcycle, and the same with the medical bill.

Son has a bandage over his entire left ear, so that explains the skin cancer and medical bills.   Mother says she was trying to finance son’s business, and she paid off the motorcycle bills because son needed the debt cleared, and the medical bills.   Son was paying $350 rent for his part of the house payment, and so was the other brother.   Mother claims she started a business with the son.  

Son says he was never asked to pay off the motorcycle loan, or the medical bills.   JJ starts the ‘are you on medications’ to the son.   The business croaked 6 or 10 months after starting, according to which litigant you listen to.   Mother says credit card was in her name, and only for business costs, and that paid off the motorcycle. Mother says she scrutinized every penny her son spent, for his own good. 

Son turned out to have skin cancer, and his medical deductible was $1,000, so he was making monthly payments for the biopsies, but still owed $515, and mother paid that.

Truck was son’s and his father’s, and plaintiff bought it from the ex-husband/father, for $15,000.    Plaintiff has the truck, and is trying to sell it.

Plaintiff gets $2400 for motorcycle payments, and son is told to pay his mother the $515 for the medical bills, so plaintiff gets $2915.

Computer Cash Out -Plaintiff Terry Morton suing defendant Casey Bethea over $500 for a computer for their business that failed.  Plaintiff claims the loan to defendant was $500, and they would split the profits.   Plaintiff sold $900 worth of merchandise, but didn’t pay the defendant the $500.   Defendant is counter suing for $500.    The business was buying cheap used computers, refurbish them, and sell them.   Plaintiff wants money for storage fees for the business at Melvin’s.  

JJ doesn’t believe the receipts that plaintiff submits from the storage company, they’re months apart, and only twenty or so numbers apart.   Plaintiff was given $500 by defendant for the computers. 

Plaintiff needed money to finance the computer purchases at auction.    Plaintiff sold 15 computers, and made $900, but didn’t repay defendant.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.    Defendant receives $500.

First (2017)-

Playing House with a Baby-   Plaintiff/ cousin Linda Brotherton 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 to plaintiff) Zach Walters, couldn't rent an apartment, so after their baby was six months old the nephew/cousin and defendant wanted to move to an apartment, and the plaintiff co-signed for the .   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 worked detailing cars, and then did landscaping, and part time detailing.      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, plaintiff is told since nephew/cousin what ever he is stayed in the apartment, then she should sue him for the rent.     

Bad Tempered Landlord-    Plaintiff/former tenant Gabriel Blanchett leased a room from defendants Thomas O’Shea and (wife) Mrs. O’Shea.  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, and are not the owners.) 

$150 to plaintiff for pro-rated rent.   

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 paraffin on his jeans, while softening his hands with a paraffin 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.

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.

Okay. Okay. I know that CrazyInAlabama is the resident reviewer in here and I am not trying to step on ANY toes here (as CrazyInAlabama does an AMAZING job on recapping these JJ eps). I just wanted to try my hand at reviewing JJ episodes and see if you guys are into it or not. If you guys are, then that's cool, I'll post more. If not, then that's cool, too. 

*DISCLAIMER* I must give fair warning, I'm a bit more harsh than CrazyInAlabama; insomuch that I will make fun of the litigants liberally while also giving out the facts on the case and my opinions on the litigants and the ruling. CrazyInAlabama does give out the facts on the case and his/her opinion (and I respect that tremendously), but I do it to the nth degree that some may find extremely off-putting. You'll see. You may like it, you may get turned off by it. It's cool either way.  

So are you guys with me? I'm only doing one segment on the episode and depending on the response I get from this posting, I'll start doing more (including finishing the episode because the second case was ridiculous af).  If the response is negative, then I'll stop recapping the eps altogether and leave it to the professionals (CrazyInAlabama).

I am pretty sure CrazyInAlabama covered this ep, but this is what I had on my DVR that came on between 3am-4am this morning and the freshest one I could sink my teeth into.  

Murder and Medical Malpractice (2013)- 

Plaintiff: DeJuana Covington from somewhere (it never stated where they were from. I am assuming either St. Louis or Little Rock judging by their accents). She comes into court wearing a cute salmon colored sleeveless type top, coupled with a gigantic ass belt in the middle,  with what looks like a grey or brown skirt and some wedge heel sandals. She looks credible (and kinda cute), rocking the shoulder length semi-bob. 

Defendant: Ashanta Byrd-Arnold from somewhere. She is DeJuana's cousin. Ashanta has her hair up in a very tight bun that sits on top of her head. She's wearing a pale yellow top and black dress pants. Ashanta also has a lot of gold chains around her neck and an eyebrow piercing. She looks like she's stern, assertive, and takes no crap from anyone. Ashanta is also married to a deadbeat dad who caused a lot of the issues these cousins currently have. 

The Complaint: DeJuana is suing her cousin for loans to buy a car and bailing Ashanta's husband (the aforementioned deadbeat dad who caused a lot of drama between these two cousins) out of jail for failure to pay child support. 

What Does He/She want: DeJuana wants $5000 for the two unpaid loans. 

Countersuit?: YES

Puppy Multiplier: N/A

What Went Down:  DeJuana claims that she is suing her cousin, Ashanta for unpaid loans to buy a car and then bailing the deadbeat out of jail after he didn't pay child support. DeJuana is a property manager at S&L and also spent time in the mental health field, which I can tell by her demeanor. She comes across as an LPN or something like that. She seems very open, very approachable, somewhat nurturing in a way. 

Wait...was that The Right to Censor in the front corner I saw during that sweeping shot in beginning of the court case? 

DeJuana has three children, a 24 year old son, a 21 year old daughter, and a 19 year old son. The two youngest children are still at the house living with her. 

The first loan came about on May 9th, 2012, where Ashanta and deadbeat dad Ronald Arnold had called DeJuana stating that they needed money to get him out of jail. 

Deadbeat Rodney stands up and addresses the court. Ronald is rocking what I think is a Burberry button up and (also what I think) are Couture Versace jeans. Rodney Arnold steps up to the microphone when JJ asks him "What were you in jail for?". His immediate answer is "Child support". JJ then corrects him and states "NON-PAYMENT of child support". 

This is why I don't have kids. Kids cost a goddamn fortune and if you and the mother (speaking from a man's point of view) ever split, you may as well get two jobs to support the child, especially if there is more than one child. Woe be unto you if you do not pay these, as, you see in Rodney's case, they'll suspend your license, garnish your wages, throw you in jail, and maybe a whole other bevy of things. I'm not in that situation myself, so I don't know. I can just go by what I have seen from friends and heard from friends. 

Anyway, Rodney is very stoic and has a rather flat affect. Zero personality, so I don't know what Ashanta saw in him, but that's just me. I'm a man, so....LOL. I mean...

Rodney confesses that he needed $3000 or else he would "sit in jail until the next court date". He claims he never knew about "child support" Uhhhh....stupid ass. It works like this....pay your child support that the judge actually ordered in a court of law, or severe financial penalties will befall upon you.  Rodney was NEVER disrespectful to the Judge, but he was sort of an idiot. 

Simple as that. 

JJ is kinda screwing with Rodney at this point, asking him questions like "Did you know you had a child?" "Were you supporting your child?" I think she was having fun with him. Apparently, Rodney's kids are 4 and 2, a boy and a girl respectively. Rodney is a deadbeat. I know I keep "beating" a dead horse, but I can't believe how much he just doesn't care enough to take care of his children. 

JJ makes Rodney sit down after she makes him look like the idiot he is and then focuses her attention back on Ashanta. Ashanta claims that DeJuana "knew" that Ashanta was upset. JJ interrupts Ashanta with the whole "Don't tell me what she knew!" Ashanta denies asking for money, but then comes around and admits that there was a conversation of money. Rodney denies paying DeJuana back. 

Rodney and Ashanta are pieces of work, man. 

Ashanta apparently gave DeJuana's daughter $150 bucks out of the $3000 that she owed her for her deadbeat husband. We then find out that Rodney doesn't work. LOL. 

I think Rodney doesn't work because he knows that the state of wherever the hell they live would come after his paychecks. Ashanta and Rodney both claim up and down that he is on disability because of a heart attack. He's currently on medication like most people in the world. LOL. 

Ashanta is a CNA and works full time, and she reveals that Rodney has a 7 year old and 4 month old child with her. Rodney has had a heart attack 2 years ago, but had enough strength to wrangle Ashanta into bed and cream in her,  post-heart attack.  

Anyway, DeJuana went with her son and her daughter to the car lot a few days after she bailed Rodney out of jail for his deadbeat ways. Ashanta decided to tag along. DeJuana figured out that the man who was attempting to sell her son a car was trying to sell her a lemon. DeJuana wasn't having that and took her children and attempted to leave. Ashanta saw a "bigger" SUV and immediately fell in love with it. 

DeJuana claims that she and Ashanta were like "sisters" and JJ demands proof that DeJuana lent Ashanta the $3k to get her deadbeat husband out of jail along with the car purchase. DeJuana has her stuff together, possessing her bank statements, the court documents, and the car purchase. Rodney again stands up. 

Rodney has two different children with two different women. Rodney admits that he has two or three different child support cases going on. The gallery laughs. 

DeJuana has pictures of the car. JJ asks DeJuana how did she expect the money to get back to her. DeJuana flat out admits that Rodney was going to sell the rims off of his car.  Rodney claims that he doesn't drive the car and Ashanta interjects that her father, her brother, and her cousin all caught a "murder case" over the car. That there is a "history" with the car and it is something "special" to her. Ashanta admits that her "daddy is still locked up" over the car to this very day (and by this very day, we mean 2013. Maybe Daddy is now paroled?). I kinda wish JJ pulled a Judge Mathis and wanted to go down that tributary about how the father, the brother, and the cousin all "caught a murder case" over a car and why she still wants to have anything to do with it. 

DeJuana claims that Ashanta had $2000 on her anyway, so why she asked DeJuana for more cash was weird. She must have a very low credit score. And if I were DeJuana, I wouldn't have given Ashanta a red cent.  Rodney makes a statement where he is just mumbling and JJ makes him sit down. She asks DeJuana to interpret what Rodney just said, but DeJuana uses that as an opportunity to make fun of the him. 

JJ then again asks Ashanta if she asked for the money or not. Ashanta really doesn't give an answer, but attempts to deflect the original question, which sort of irritates JJ. JJ, slightly annoyed at this point, almost loses her temper with Ashanta. 

The resulting entangle was something like this: 

JJ: "Why would she-" 

Ashanta (confidently): "Because she came into some money." 

JJ: "Just a sec- She- She came into some money from what?" 

Ashanta: "She was doing birth control and she got sick and the birth control got her sick" 

Then Ashanta turned around and stuck back to her original story and claimed she never asked for the money. But JJ tricked Ashanta into giving JJ the answer she wanted. 

Then we go to the countersuit. The 19 year old son (who was in court) supposedly took things out of her house. The countersuit was promptly dismissed. 

Verdict: $5000 case. Finish your ENTIRE drink. 

The hall-ter-View (which I call the "Confessional" because people just try to tell the whole story during that and it's a part of the story that only Judge Mathis would entertain) was full of hilarity with Ashanta claiming that DeJuana just "gave" her the money. 

Let me know if I should post more of it should retire lol. Even if I do retire, CrazyInAlabama has everything covered VERY well.

Okay. Okay. I know that CrazyInAlabama is the resident reviewer in here and I am not trying to step on ANY toes here (as CrazyInAlabama does an AMAZING job on recapping these JJ eps). I just wanted to try my hand at reviewing JJ episodes and see if you guys are into it or not. If you guys are, then that's cool, I'll post more. If not, then that's cool, too. 

*DISCLAIMER* I must give fair warning, I'm a bit more harsh than CrazyInAlabama; insomuch that I will make fun of the litigants liberally while also giving out the facts on the case and my opinions on the litigants and the ruling. CrazyInAlabama does give out the facts on the case and his/her opinion (and I respect that tremendously), but I do it to the nth degree that some may find extremely off-putting. You'll see. You may like it, you may get turned off by it. It's cool either way.  

So are you guys with me? I'm only doing one segment on the episode and depending on the response I get from this posting, I'll start doing more (including finishing the episode because the second case was ridiculous af).  If the response is negative, then I'll stop recapping the eps altogether and leave it to the professionals (CrazyInAlabama).

I am pretty sure CrazyInAlabama covered this ep, but this is what I had on my DVR that came on between 3am-4am this morning and the freshest one I could sink my teeth into.  

Murder and Medical Malpractice (2013)- 

Plaintiff: DeJuana Covington from somewhere (it never stated where they were from. I am assuming either St. Louis or Little Rock judging by their accents). She comes into court wearing a cute salmon colored sleeveless type top, coupled with a gigantic ass belt in the middle,  with what looks like a grey or brown skirt and some wedge heel sandals. She looks credible (and kinda cute), rocking the shoulder length semi-bob. 

Defendant: Ashanta Byrd-Arnold from somewhere. She is DeJuana's cousin. Ashanta has her hair up in a very tight bun that sits on top of her head. She's wearing a pale yellow top and black dress pants. Ashanta also has a lot of gold chains around her neck and a eyebrow piercing. She looks like she's stern, assertive, and takes no crap from anyone. Ashanta is also married to a deadbeat dad who caused a lot of the issues these cousins currently have. 

The Complaint: DeJuana is suing her cousin for loans to buy a car and bailing Ashanta's husband (the aforementioned deadbeat dad who caused a lot of drama between these two cousins) out of jail for failure to pay child support. 

What Does He/She want: DeJuana wants $5000 for the two unpaid loans. 

Countersuit?: YES

Puppy Multiplier: N/A

What Went Down:  DeJuana claims that she is suing her cousin, Ashanta for unpaid loans to buy a car and then bailing the deadbeat out of jail after he didn't pay child support. DeJuana is a property manager at S&L and also spent time in the mental health field, which I can tell by her demeanor. She comes across as an LPN or something like that. She seems very open, very approachable, somewhat nurturing in a way. 

Wait...was that The Right to Censor in the front corner I saw during that sweeping shot in beginning of the court case? 

DeJuana has three children, a 24 year old son, a 21 year old daughter, and a 19 year old son. The two youngest children are still at the house living with her. 

The first loan came about on May 9th, 2012, where Ashanta and deadbeat dad Ronald Arnold had called DeJuana stating that they needed money to get him out of jail. 

Deadbeat Rodney stands up and addresses the court. Ronald is rocking what I think is a Burberry button up and (also what I think) are Couture Versace jeans. Rodney Arnold steps up to the microphone when JJ asks him "What were you in jail for?". His immediate answer is "Child support". JJ then corrects him and states "NON-PAYMENT of child support". 

This is why I don't have kids. Kids cost a goddamn fortune and if you and the mother (speaking from a man's point of view) ever split, you may as well get two jobs to support the child, especially if there is more than one child. Woe be unto you if you do not pay these, as, you see in Rodney's case, they'll suspend your license, garnish your wages, throw you in jail, and maybe a whole other bevy of things. I'm not in that situation myself, so I don't know. I can just go by what I have seen from friends and heard from friends. 

Anyway, Rodney is very stoic and has a rather flat affect. Zero personality, so I don't know what Ashanta saw in him, but that's just me. I'm a man, so....LOL. I mean...

Rodney confesses that he needed $3000 or else he would "sit in jail until the next court date". He claims he never knew about "child support" Uhhhh....stupid ass. It works like this....pay your child support that the judge actually ordered in a court of law, or severe financial penalties will befall upon you.  Rodney was NEVER disrespectful to the Judge, but he was sort of an idiot. 

Simple as that. 

JJ is kinda screwing with Rodney at this point, asking him questions like "Did you know you had a child?" "Were you supporting your child?" I think she was having fun with him. Apparently, Rodney's kids are 4 and 2, a boy and a girl respectively. Rodney is a deadbeat. I know I keep "beating" a dead horse, but I can't believe how much he just doesn't care enough to take care of his children. 

JJ makes Rodney sit down after she makes him look like the idiot he is and then focuses her attention back on Ashanta. Ashanta claims that DeJuana "knew" that Ashanta was upset. JJ interrupts Ashanta with the whole "Don't tell me what she knew!" Ashanta denies asking for money, but then comes around and admits that there was a conversation of money. Rodney denies paying DeJuana back. 

Rodney and Ashanta are pieces of work, man. 

Ashanta apparently gave DeJuana's daughter $150 bucks out of the $3000 that she owed her for her deadbeat husband. We then find out that Rodney doesn't work. LOL. 

I think Rodney doesn't work because he knows that the state of wherever the hell they live would come after his paychecks. Ashanta and Rodney both claim up and down that he is on disability because of a heart attack. He's currently on medication like most people in the world. LOL. 

Ashanta is a CNA and works full time, and she reveals that Rodney has a 7 year old and 4 month old child with Rodney. Rodney has had a heart attack 2 years ago, but had enough strength to wrangle Ashanta into bed and cream in her post-heart attack.  

Anyway, DeJuana went with her son and her daughter to the car lot a few days after she bailed Rodney out of jail for his deadbeat ways. Ashanta decided to tag along. DeJuana figured out that the man who was attempting to sell her son a car was trying to sell her a lemon. DeJuana wasn't having that and took her children and attempted to leave. Ashanta saw a "bigger" SUV and immediately fell in love with it. 

DeJuana claims that she and Ashanta were like "sisters" and JJ demands proof that DeJuana lent Ashanta the $3k to get her deadbeat husband out of jail along with the car purchase. DeJuana has her stuff together, possessing  her bank statements, the court documents, and the car purchase. Rodney again stands up. 

Rodney has two different children with two different women. Rodney admits that he has two or three different child support cases going on. The gallery laughs. 

DeJuana has pictures of the car. JJ asks DeJuana how did she expect the money to get back to her. DeJuana flat out admits that Rodney was going to sell the rims off of his car.  Rodney claims that he doesn't drive the car and Ashanta interjects that her father, her brother, and her cousin all caught a "murder case" over the car. That there is a "history" with the car and it is something "special" to her. Ashanta admits that he "daddy is still locked up" over the car to this very day (and by day, we mean 2013. Maybe Daddy is now paroled?). I kinda wish JJ pulled a Judge Mathis and wanted to go down that tributary about how the father, the brother, and the cousin all "caught a murder case" over a car and why she still wants to have anything to do with that car. 

DeJuana claims that Ashanta had $2000 on her anyway, so why she asked DeJuana for more cash was weird. She must have a very low credit score. And if I were DeJuana, I wouldn't have gave Ashanta a red cent.  Rodney makes a statement where he is just mumbling and JJ makes him sit down. She asks DeJuana to interpret what Rodney just said, but DeJuana uses that as an opportunity to make fun of the him. 

JJ then again asks Ashanta if she asked for the money or not. Ashanta really doesn't give an answer, but attempts to deflect the original question, which sort of irritates JJ. JJ, slightly annoyed at this point, almost loses her temper with Ashanta. 

The resulting entangle was something like this: 

JJ: "Why would she-" 

Ashanta (confidently): "Because she came into some money." 

JJ: "Just a sec- She- She came into some money from what?" 

Ashanta: "She was doing birth control and she got sick and the birth control got her sick" 

Then Ashanta turned around and stuck back to her original story and claimed she never asked for the money. But JJ tricked Ashanta into giving JJ the answer she wanted. 

Then we go to the countersuit. The 19 year old son (who was in court) supposedly took things out of her house. The countersuit was promptly dismissed. 

Verdict: $5000 case. Finish your ENTIRE drink. 

The hall-ter-View (which I call the "Confessional" because people just try to tell the whole story during that and it's a part of the story that only Judge Mathis would entertain) was full of hilarity with Ashanta claiming that DeJuana just "gave" her the money.

I really enjoyed what you wrote, and appreciate the humor!  I would love to read more😀.

[CrazyInAlabama]

Djamillasman-Welcome to the party.   I love what you wrote.    

I'm wondering if all of us will have JJ access starting in September when the syndicated contracts usually change?   In addition to 2 hours of JJ, there are 2 hours of Maury, and at least one of those is being replaced by another talk show.    So, it will be interesting to see what happens to the schedules in September.   

My favorite case today is the Legal Beatdown, with the Attorney-in-Fact.    I agree with the audience and applauded when JJ stomped on Attorney-in-Fact. 

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-

Angry Fathers Mutual Combat -Plaintiff Urbano Carlos suing defendant  Janelle Chavez (17-year-old) and her father Oliver Chavez for car damages, and an assault.   Both litigants blame the accident on the other driver, and claim the other father assaulted them.   Defendant says she was turning left with a green arrow, and says plaintiff ran the red light and hit her car.   Plaintiff swears he had a green light, and defendant daughter failed to yield.   No one was cited by the police.    Plaintiff says defendant turned left in front of him, after they collided defendant took off, and went home.   

Defendant went home, and plaintiff followed her, and her father came out of his home, and the fist fight was on.    Alexis Carlos, 13, was a passenger with her two siblings in plaintiff’s car.    After the accident both drivers got out of their cars at defendant’s house in the driveway, and plaintiff wanted the defendant’s information, and claims defendant father hit first, and sucker punched the plaintiff in the back of the head.  

Plaintiff was driving his three kids to school, and says defendant daughter hit, and ran.    Defendant and plaintiff both look like they got some good punches in.   

Defendant daughter swears plaintiff was late to get kids to school, and has no reckless driving history, will not run a red light with three kids in the car.   I can’t believe the police didn’t charge defendant daughter with hit-and-run.   I agree with JJ, accident was defendant daughter’s fault, and it was hit-and-run. 

Plaintiff receives $2,000 for car damages.

Boyfriend Assault -Plaintiff/mother Susan Sutter suing defendant/plaintiff’s daughter’s ex-boyfriend Josh Auger for rent, property damages for a laptop defendant broke,  and assault.      Defendant is an unemployed musician who seldom has a job.    Plaintiff mother let daughter move back in, with the loser unemployed boyfriend.  The damage plaintiff is suing for in a laptop that defendant demanded to take with him, and they were doing tug of war over it.  

Plaintiff daughter was also unemployed, along with the boyfriend.  

JJ won’t pay back rent.    Daughter still is ‘looking for a job’ and lives with plaintiff.   When plaintiff told defendant to move out, he was taking the laptop along with his stuff.   It’s plaintiff’s laptop.   Defendant decided the laptop was a gift from plaintiff.

Plaintiff did not call police about the assault, or seek medical care.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Legal Beatdown -Plaintiff David Wertheimer, Attorney-in-Fact, is suing defendants Ian Johnston and Doug Barnett over a truck.      Truck is titled to Johnston, a laptop was traded to Barnett for the truck by plaintiff, and after five years the truck was considered abandoned by plaintiff, and defendant Barnett.

The Attorney-in-fact challenges JJ, and he’s going to lose too. (An attorney in fact is an agent authorized to act on behalf of another person, but not necessarily authorized to practice law, e.g. a person authorized to act by a power of attorney, definition thanks to Google). Plaintiff Wertheimer apparently has a practice of being attorney-in-fact, and claims his only income is from being a power-of-attorney, he does paralegal work, gives legal advice, and in my opinion, is practicing law without a license.   He claims under California Probate Code, and Uniform Commercial Code give him the right to act as an attorney, but he is not a licensed attorney.    The audience applauds when plaintiff gets stomped down by JJ. 

Plaintiff’s case is that defendants left a truck on Mr. Barnett’s property for five years, and Mr. Barnett traded Mr. Johnston’s truck to plaintiff for a laptop.  Plaintiff tows the truck, and spends $1300 on repairs, and tried to title the truck.  DMV won’t title the truck for plaintiff because it’s legally still Johnston’s, so plaintiff parked the truck in a church parking lot illegally, then it was towed and impounded, and can’t get it out of impound.   So, defendant got truck out of impound because he’s the titled owner.   Plaintiff is suing for repairs on the truck, or the value of the laptop, or the title to the truck.

Defendant Johnston keeps the truck, defendant Barnett keeps the laptop, and plaintiff is kicked in the nuts by JJ again.   

Boat Bailout -Plaintiff/ Joseph McKenzie suing defendant/boat builders Joe and Sandra (wife) Crawford for the return of the deposit on a custom boat that was never finished.  Defendants had a work order, serving as contract, for the boat order by plaintiff, with $5,000 deposit paid by plaintiff.

There is no date of completion on the work order.

Defendant says boat is 80% complete, and because of the enclosed pilot house, can’t be sold to anyone else, and it’s a self-bailing boat, that feature costs $4,000.   However, defendant didn’t bring finished photos of the boat.   I guess defendant didn’t think evidence was needed for court.  There were also other custom features ordered, but the photos don’t show it. 

Pictures were taken eight months ago, not before court.  Defendant stopped working after plaintiff pulled his order, but that was only three months ago, because the boat wasn’t close to finished. 

The business practice of the defendant is horrible.   Defendant claims boat is 80% finished, but it isn’t. The boat buyer is from Kodiak, AK and builder is in Oregon.  

$5,000 to plaintiff.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2017)-

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.  

Second (2017)-

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 paid 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, the second check bounced, 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.
