First (2014)-

Marijuana Mayhem -Plaintiff/landlord Christine DerVartanian suing former tenant/defendant Naomi Lomksy and son Sam Lomsky for evicting him for smoking weed, but plaintiff claims he has a marijuana medical card.   Plaintiff also is suing for property damages, and smoking weed in the house.  Plaintiff mother wants her security deposit back.   The defendants lived in plaintiff’s guest cottage.   Defendant son says he had surgery three years ago, and has constant pain so has the medical marijuana card.

The first time plaintiff smelled Weed in the guest house, she told defendant mother that the lease said no smoking in the guest house.   Then, when plaintiff smelled Weed again, and there were multiple occasions of smelling Weed, plaintiff moved to evict defendants.    Plaintiff claims defendant mother told her that the son didn’t have a Weed card, but his friend who was there constantly did.

Defendant didn’t get pay rent for two months, and utilities for two months. Security deposit was $1550.  

Defendant son also used huge nails to hang all of his stuff on the walls, items like backpacks.   The nail holes are huge.   A screen was broken by son, the miniblinds were broken.  Defendant mother agreed to paint son’s room.  There was also pet damage, from two dogs and a cat. 

Plaintiff gets $556, but $944 for security deposit to defendant take out of the $1550 security. (Another case showing why landlords should never have come on this show). 

When Girlfriends Fight -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend Jessie Miller suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Brianna Giles for breaking their lease, and unpaid rent.     It was a one-bedroom apartment, and plaintiff still lives there.   Plaintiff would like to leave the apartment, but $2,000 is the lease break fee, plus $3,000 in unpaid rent.

Defendant claims she signed the lease, but only visited the apartment occasionally, and didn’t actually live there.    Defendant claims plaintiff only wanted to sue her for rent and lease break fee after defendant dumped plaintiff for someone else.

However, defendant left an Xbox, dishes, and a few shirts at the apartment, so that made her a tenant.

Defendant claims she lost both of her jobs, and plaintiff was aggressive to her.   Plaintiff says defendant simply moved, and claims she never assaulted her.  There’s no way to bring another roommate into a one bedroom apartment.

Plaintiff says defendant owes her for at least two months rent, plus half of the lease breaking fee.

Plaintiff gets $1,000 lease fee.    

Second (2013)-

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

The two were playing soccer, plaintiff claims ball was out of bounds, and defendant got mad, and plaintiff slapped defendant.  Defendant claims he was assigned to plaintiff, and plaintiff was angry.   Then, 90 minutes later plaintiff claims defendant followed him for his license plate number, and was going to call the police.   

A friend of plaintiff told him that defendant already had to hire an attorney, and would lose his coaching position if defendant pursued charges.    Defendant did pursue charges, so plaintiff filed this court case.  

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

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

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

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

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

First (2016)-

Jealous Baby Mama Cat Fight-Plaintiff Stacy Speller suing defendant Kelly Tennant (SSMOT Sainted Single Mother of Two with defense witness) over car vandalism by defendant on plaintiff’s car, and an assault.   Defendant has two kids with defendant's witness, Ryan Garcia, and then defendant and witness broke up.   Since he's the defendant's witness, I guess the witness and defendant are back together.  Plaintiff was rollerblading at her house with Ryan Garcia, then she saw defendant at the house, and Mr. Garcia told plaintiff to go in the back yard.   Plaintiff heard defendant and Ryan Garcia arguing. 

When plaintiff was parked at man's house, she alleges defendant ripped pieces off of her car.    Defendant claims plaintiff was the aggressor.   Police report says defendant witness said defendant did do the car damages.   

$2,000 to plaintiff.

Free Wheeling and Dealing-Plaintiff Blake Spencer suing defendant William Cornfeld for rims plaintiff never received, purchased for $1,000 (used rims from defendant's own car).   

Defendant claims he needed to re-chrome the rims, and over a year later they were resold by shifty defendant.   

$1,000 to plaintiff.    

Second (2016)-

Tree Huggers v. Tree Choppers-Plaintiff Christine Boiger suing trailer park neighbor/defendant Elizabeth Allen with mutual property line for the survey costs, and fence damage.    Plaintiff did survey because she said defendant's fence was on her property.  The women share a back fence.  

Fence was encroaching, and it was taken down, and another fence defendant built was encroaching on plaintiff's property again, and it impacted the plaintiff's fence posts.    They also cut the plaintiff's cable (someone should be shot for that.  I've had repeated cable cut issues from new builds, and it's freaking infuriating).     No one is getting survey costs.   

Sorry JJ, you don't put your fence on my property, not even an inch, or on the joint property line.   

Defendant got HOA permission to trim her trees, but buttinsky plaintiff told neighbors to leave the trees alone, and actually stood in the way of the tree cutters.   So, defendant's company could only cut half of the trees, and they were all on defendant's property.     

Cases dismissed.   

Mistaken Trailer Identity-  Plaintiff Gordon Lacey is suing defendant Scott Kulman,  for stealing his utility trailer (a flat open trailer, with short metal guard rails, utility trailer).     Trailer was stolen in August, plaintiff has police report.   

In October, defendant's employee, Jeff, was at a stop light, and plaintiff signaled him to pull over, and they stopped at a gas station.    Plaintiff accused defendant employee of having his stolen trailer.      Police were called, and trailer was confiscated, pending clarification of ownership.   

Defendant claims trailer was bought in 2012.   Plaintiff claims his trailer was homemade, not the manufactured trailer the defendant owns.   

Police confirmed the VIN number and license plate were correct with defendant's paperwork, matched the VIN number on the trailer, and police released the trailer to defendant.   

My guess is plaintiff will never give up calling defendant a thief, and the hall-terview interview with plaintiff reinforces that idea, he will never quit.  

Case dismissed.

First (2014)-

Baby Daddy Payback -Plaintiff/mother of child, Rachel and Barbara Fox, grandmother of child,  suing defendant/father of child Robert “Price” Ricketts over a credit card bill.   The litigants have a child together. Plaintiff won’t let defendant see the child anyway, and says that’s her right as mother of the child.   

The three litigants were living together in the same house, and charges were on Barbara Fox’s credit card, while everyone was living together.  There is no statement that defendant ever saw showing zero balance on card.   The only time defendant had the physical possession of the credit card was when he spent $352 at the dentist for a broken tooth.    Every other time, Rachel Fox had the physical possession of the credit card.   

JJ rules that there was no contract for defendant to pay the bills, and separate 15 months of credit card statements to see who charged what at Burger King.

Plaintiff Rachel won’t let defendant see their child until he pays the credit card bill.   JJ tells plaintiff Rachel to take defendant to court for child support, and that she’s not getting the credit card bill paid.

There is also a dispute over a car motor, so plaintiff bought the motor, and after defendant put the motor in the car, plaintiff wanted to return the motor.   There is no contract between the litigants over the car motor.   

Litigants never married, so there is no marital debt.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Car Mileage Fraud? -Plaintiff/car buyer Brittany Jenkins suing defendant/car seller and mechanic, Justin McFalls over a car sale.   Plaintiff says ‘as is’ car croaked a few days after purchase, and defendant says that he sold the car for a friend, Ryan.    Plaintiff also says mileage was fraud, and car had a lot more miles on it than the odometer showed.   Plaintiff says because of the mileage fraud she can’t even register the car.   Advertised mileage was 92,000 miles, but plaintiff claims the mileage is many times the advertised mileage.   Car is a 98 Honda Civic EX, the ad says 92k miles, for $2500.  

Plaintiff says Carfax shows 311k mileage.    I’m wondering if that is before an engine change?   Since when is Carfax accurate.

Plaintiff gets her $2500 back, and defendant gets the car back if he picks it up in five days.

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

Defendant wants 4 month’s rent from plaintiff for moving out early.

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

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

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

Plaintiff gets $2700.

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

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

Plaintiff receives $400.

5 p.m. reruns-

First (2016)-

Bad Babysitter Barter-Plaintiff Jamie Cox suing defendant Brian Richardson for defendant wanting a $400 loan repaid. Plaintiff claims she doesn't need to repay $400 loan to defendant, because she was supposed to get defendant's Jeep in return for babysitting his child, and taking child to and from school, and before and after school care.   She claims she worked many hours, paid off the Jeep, but defendant didn't pay her for more babysitting, and she got behind in her bills.   JJ figures out she didn't work for $1800 worth, but much less.   Defendant was only loaned to plaintiff for when she was babysitting.  Plaintiff wants $5,000.

The plaintiff claims defendant didn't pay her much, and repossessed. the Jeep.    Plaintiff also claims man lusted after her, but she obviously had another boyfriend (she's quite pregnant), and defendant says she watched the child every other week (custody issues).     

Funny note-defendant buries money in his back yard, and announced this to 10 million viewers.   JJ advises him to move the money.   

(I used to live in Colorado Springs, and why would plaintiff drive an hour each way from Pueblo to bar tend in snow country?   They have lots of bars in Pueblo, and this makes no sense).   Defendant claims a friend of plaintiff, and plaintiff's mom threatened him.  

Plaintiff wrote down “loan” on her list of money, for the $400.   

$400 to defendant, and nothing to plaintiff.  

Matching Tattoo Fail-Plaintiff Meghan Soncrant suing ex-boyfriend/defendant Tyler Nichols for cost of matching tattoos, and a bedroom set.    Defendant did not pay for bedroom set, $2350 (King size bed, frame, and TV), because he claims it's was a gift. 

Defendant's nasty emails are so bad that it can't be read on TV.  When JJ asks Officer Byrd to show defendant (who she calls Shakespeare) the emails where he admitted the loan, Officer Byrd is laughing the whole way at the Shakespeare remark.

Defendant's new girlfriend is his witness, and gets the Byrd boot.   She also had her hair dyed that awful neon red color.

$2235 to plaintiff (loser defendant actually made one payment already).

Second (2016)-

Squatter Denial-Plaintiff/landlord Romualda Ayon suing former tenants/defendants Patrick Valdivia-Minsel and  Rachel Bachakes (girlfriend)  for non-payment of rent, and a false arrest. Plaintiff is also suing defendant man’s father Francisco Valdivio.  There is a receipt for $600 to rent a bedroom at plaintiff's location.    Defendant man said they had no choice about squatting in the plaintiff's place.    Plaintiff wanted tenants out in September, and they were legally notified to leave the property (a 30-day notice to leave).   

Defendants claim they paid rent until September 2015, when they were told to leave by 15 October 2015.   Defendants paid rent in October, and November, (both very late in the month), and didn't pay for December, but still lived in the bedroom.   

In December, defendants didn't pay rent or utilities, or January either, and didn't move out until February.    Defendants claim the eviction notice was because they complained to the Housing Authority.     Again, we get to hear the "ate the steak" lecture.    Defendants claim the Housing Authority told them not to pay the 3 month’s rent.     Defendant's mother (witness) keeps telling woman defendant what to say.      Defendants refused to try to find a job, and move out of plaintiff's property.   

Defendant claims the plaintiff's property was a single-family dwelling, and was illegally split into three residences.     Defendant man claims he's working now, and woman is going to school.     Protective order application from defendants is ludicrous, and shouldn't have been granted, and was filed in January, three months after they were supposed to be out of the house.    Plaintiff was arrested for trespassing on her own property.   This is how the defendants treat a family friend?

$5,000 to plaintiff. 

Good Samaritan Bitten in the Face-Plaintiff Ryan Kotzen suing defendant Joyce Tung-Yea for medical bills, after her dog (Marshmallow) bit him in the face, when he found the dog wandering loose.   Defendant says her dog never left her garage, and never bit anyone.   (Descriptions say it's a poodle, but it looks like a Mini. Schnauzer).    Plaintiff saw dog wandering in the street, he pulled over, tried to look at the dog's collar, and the dog bit plaintiff's cheek.    Dog ran into garage, and when defendant opened the front door, and that's when she said the dog's name.      

Defendant claims the dog isn't hers, and then says it never left the garage.    Defendant told plaintiff she would pay his medical bills, but didn't.      Defendant says a contractor let the dog out, and defendant went to look for the dog, and couldn't find the dog.    Defendant says where she used to live the gardener would let the dog out, but dog would come back home.    

Defendant is angry that plaintiff contacted Animal Control, and she tried to say her dog was never outside.

Plaintiff receives $1000 for medical bills. Bill was actually $386, plus pain and suffering.

First (2014)-

Landlord Laundry List -Plaintiff/landlord Saeed Kanwar suing defendant/former tenant Amy Hansen for rent, and damages to the property.   Defendant counter claims for her security deposit, and quadruple security deposit, and any damages were normal wear and tear.    Defendant doesn’t want to pay for   November rent, $1546 with late fees for the month.    Defendant claims security was $2250, plaintiff says security was $1700.  Lease says $2250 security, so that will be considered paid. 

Pictures of house after ‘move out’, show a lot of trash.    Defendant lived in house for five years, with up to three other tenants.     Damages include carpet and paint that had to be done anyway.    Dented doors are shown, never changed furnace filters, broken garage doors.   JJ doesn’t shop for microwaves too often, you don’t get a microhood, or big microwave for $100.  

(JJ absolutely hates landlords).

Plaintiff gets $1546 for the month’s rent.  Damages and rent include $1731, and leaves $519 back to defendant from security deposit.   So, JJ screws over another landlord.  Counter claim for quadruple damages from the security is dismissed.

Ice Cream Shop Stalker -Plaintiff suing defendant /former friend for repayment of a loan.   Defendant says plaintiff threatened to kill her, and stalked her when she couldn’t repay the loan for $1,000.

Plaintiff gets her $1,000 loan, minus any payments defendant can prove.  Defendant claim dismissed. 

Second (2013)-

Collie Attacks Yorkie -Plaintiff/ Yorkie owner Renee Banks suing for vet bills, and human medical bills, after defendant’s/ Border Collie and Australian Shepherd mix, owned by defendant, Laurie Pearson attacking her dog, and causing injuries to plaintiff. (Note: this is a Border Collie, often black and white sheep herders, not the Lassie type of Collie).    Defendant dog was being walked by a pet sitter, when dog pulled out of collar and attacked.   Owner of B.C. was in Florida, so witnessed nothing.   Plaintiff’s Yorkie was leashed, plaintiff was walking down the street with her son in a wagon.   Then, plaintiff saw dog sitter with two big dogs, and some kids on the other side of the street, when one dog charged across the street, the dogs sniffed each other, and then the B.C. attacked.    When plaintiff pulled the dogs apart, she was bitten on the hand.    Plaintiff says dog sitter did nothing to help.   The other dog defendant owned was a 6-month-old Mastiff, and was also being walked.     Pet sitter claims dog never pulled out of collar before.

Defendant pet sitter, Toby, claims Yorkie barked and snapped at B.C., and so blaming the victim again.    Defendant dog owner’s sworn statement bears no resemblance to pet sitter’s story, and blames the Yorkie, and plaintiff’s son for the attack.    Defendant dog owner claims the animal control officer told her the attack story, but there is no report, and so it’s hearsay.  

Defendant claims plaintiff’s dog wasn’t injured, and actually claims plaintiff did the injuries to her own dog.   There are same day reports from emergency vet, and the following day to her regular vet.   Plaintiff Yorkie had drains, multiple puncture wounds, and shaved areas.   Plaintiff called police, and animal control.    Defendant dog sitter claims plaintiff dog was frolicking around, and had no visible injuries after the attack.     Dog sitter acted appropriately, except lying in court.

Plaintiff receives $400 for vet bills.

DUI Bailout -Plaintiff/aunt Erica Patterson suing nephew/defendant Cesar Witherow for bail after his third or fourth D.U.I.   (Apparently, defendant is arrested so often, he can’t keep count of his various arrests).  Defendant has been arrested for DUI, assault and has a long rap sheet of other offenses.   Defendant witness/girlfriend was also in jail at the time the loans, also for a D.U.I, so she couldn’t bail him out.

Defendant claims he never asked aunt for the bail out.   Defendant claims he never promised to pay back the money, but would pay her back with his student aid.   

Plaintiff is a social worker, and her wages were garnished to pay the bail money back. 

Plaintiff receives $3,500.

First (2016)-

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

Case dismissed, and plaintiff is banned from the store forever.   

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

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

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

Second (2016)-

Single Mom Settlement-Plaintiff (used car salesman) Shane Grant suing defendant Stacy McMahon over non-payment for car, after she gave him a bad check.   Defendant is Sainted Single Mother, owes $7,000 for a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, put $2500 down, and $600 a month for 9 months (costs $900 for interest, and taxes, etc.).    Check was for $2,000, from Farmers Insurance for injuries.   (Defendant's chest tattoo of giant red lips, and Take Note is tacky).    Plaintiff put check into his account, because SSMO didn't have a bank account.       So, defendant committed fraud, and grand larceny.  

However, defendant refused the settlement from Farmers insurance, so check was cancelled by company, but defendant kept the Jeep.    JJ will contact Farmers insurance about the check status.     Farmers Insurance says defendant didn't cash check knowing that accepting check would be accepting the settlement. 

 JJ's decision is:

1. Order that plaintiff can get car with Marshal, but his former company will have to do that (plaintiff works elsewhere now). 

2.  Charges for grand larceny and fraud will be pressed because defendant committed fraud.   Car will be returned to company in two days or charges will be pressed.    (JJ gives a copy of this case to the plaintiff to show police what defendant did, and that the larceny charges will be filed.   Defendant claims she’ll give car back to car dealer).

Defendant’s refusal to return Jeep is a mistake.  Why do I guess defendant didn’t give the car back to the dealer?

Plaintiff works elsewhere now, so he gets $2,000 judgment.   

Dog Bite, Huge Settlement-Plaintiff Timothy McNulty suing former neighbor/defendant Carly Jackson for kicking his car, after plaintiff's dog bit her in the face.   Defendant has sold and moved since.    The same dog bit the defendant's daughter 13 months before, and received a settlement from the insurance company $150,000 for defendant, and $160,000 pending for the defendant's daughter.    What kind of idiot is still friendly with the defendant and her family after they get sued for huge amounts?   

 In the middle of the night, defendant was apparently drunk, and on plaintiff's property, and defendant was pounding on the door.   Plaintiff wife went and answered the door (Yes, at 2 a.m.).   Defendant claims her dog ripped her lip off, the two women argued after drinking, and then defendant repeatedly kicked the plaintiff's car.    Defendant claims the plaintiff asked her to come over.   (Defendant thinks petting the neighbor's dog is 'politically correct').     I can't believe the insurance company covered two dog bites from the same dog, because my insurance always told me it's standard that they cover one bite, and then that dog is no longer covered.     Defendant sold house, and moved right before this case aired.

Why didn’t his homeowner’s insurance get cancelled after the first bite?  And the second bite?   And after the third bite?   All of this was the same dog, and I’ve never had an insurance company that would cover more than one dog bite, ever.

Plaintiff has $1,000 deductible on car insurance, which he didn't file claim for the car damage yet.  Plaintiff gets $1,000, and is still a spineless jelly fish.    I wonder what the real story is on this entire situation?   The damage happened two years ago, so I hope the insurance told him it's too late.

This case is bizarre.   After the first bite, why did the insurance company still insure the dog, and the home?   Then, to pay two major bite settlements is unheard of. 

Plaintiff gets his $1,000 car insurance deductible, and is told to file with his insurance company.

First (2014)-

Assault in the Workplace -Plaintiff Renaee Pattin suing defendant Crystal Gause for assault at work.    Plaintiff says defendant started touching her, stroking her, pulled her chair out from under her when she was sitting down.  Plaintiff says the defendant and eight other co-workers would touch, pat, and grope her.  Two years ago, defendant pulled plaintiff’s chair out from under her, and plaintiff was injured.  Plaintiff is suing the company, and trying to get disability.     This happened in Toledo, Ohio.

Plaintiff wants defendant to be responsible for the injuries on the job.  Plaintiff was working on her computer, and someone came up behind her, yanked the reclining back of the office chair back, let it go, and it slammed into plaintiff’s back, and it was the defendant.  

(Can you believe the defendant’s name, “Crystal Gause”?).

Plaintiff says she had no back issues before defendant’s ‘prank’, and her chiropractor says her back is out of alignment.  A year later plaintiff consulted an attorney about suing the company.   JJ wants to see doctor’s records for before and after the incident.    Plaintiff took a lie detector test, and claims she passed it, about the incident.   The first attorney is no longer her attorney.    After the chair incident, plaintiff claims other employees were groping, patting, touching, and she’s also suing about the hostile work environment, from a total of eight employees including defendant.

Defendant says incident is very different from what plaintiff described.   Defendant says aisle behind plaintiff’s chair is narrow, and she only tapped plaintiff on the shoulder. Three weeks later, HR sent an email to defendant outlining the incident.  

I bet plaintiff’s case was right about the time of some huge hostile work environment settlements, and she’s hoping for a bonanza.   Defendant says plaintiff complained about three employees, after the first incident.     Plaintiff claims the second incident was eight months later, and defendant backhanding her on her shoulder, not patting her.   This is when plaintiff says a total of eight other employees touched her inappropriately (rubbing her back and arms, etc.). 

Plaintiff claims she was constructively discharged from company, because she couldn't tolerate working there again. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, no witnesses, no medical records submitted, or police reports.  JJ sends case back to try in another court locally. 

A Family’s Feud-   Plaintiffs Dale and Isabelle Worrell suing son/defendant Pascal Worrell for non-payment of a car loan.  Plaintiffs co-signed for the loan, and father was primary.   Loan was for a $8,000 with Pascal paying $4,000 down, and car was titled in father and son's name.    Parents didn't like the son's schedule, and sent him to live with their pastor.   

Pascal says the father had full control of his bank account, and father was making all of the payments.   Father says he didn't let son take the car to the pastor's house, but had to call home to request the use of the car.    Father gave son $3500, that was part of what son put down, and then father sold the car.   Father is suing for the remainder of the loan from selling the car. 

Father deprived son of his car, his property.   and sold the car after having car for a year.  

Plaintiff case dismissed, and I hope Pascal has moved on, far away from these people. 

(This case reminded me of the equally religious parents who wanted their daughter arrested for getting her cat back that the mother kept, after they threw the daughter out.  That set of parents had a bunch of kids, and everyone was estranged from them)

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

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

Defendant blames plaintiff for the child walking down the road.

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

Everything dismissed.

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

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

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

Teen Child Support Woes-Plaintiff /ex-husband Garry Copeland suing defendant/ex-wife Denicia Copeland for child support (they have 2 kids, 17 and 14) and extra-curricular activities for the 17-year-old.   Defendant is now unemployed, but plaintiff claims defendant didn't pay when she had a job.   Plaintiff's witness is current wife.   

Plaintiff was divorced while he was incarcerated, and no child support order was in place, and each litigant had one kid living with them (plaintiff's child lived with grandmother during the unfortunate incarceration), and paid expenses for the child that lived with them, until last year. 

Defendant agreed to split dental bills, and extra curriculars, for the kids that both live with plaintiff now.    Plaintiff wants over $3,000.   

Defendant is unemployed, and she's getting paid to go back to school (phlebotomy), and for the four-month course will be unemployed.    Plaintiff  claims woman isn't unemployed, and hasn't been.     Defendant still has Kaiser and claims they paid for some of the braces, but there’s still money owing. 

There is no formal family court order for support, and JJ says they should go back to court.   JJ says court will award child support, and retroactively also.  Defendant says plaintiff is taking her to court for child support soon. 

Plaintiff gets $1133 for the kid's braces. 

Baby Car Seat Slip-Up  -Plaintiff Asia Berry suing defendant/former roommate Oniesha Russell (they were roommates for a few months) for traffic tickets she received, that plaintiff blames on defendant.  Defendant put her two-year-old in a high chair/booster seat, not a real car seat for the baby.  Plaintiff got a ticket for driving slowly in the high-speed lane, and her fines were $484, and another ticket was for plaintiff as the driver, for having a baby unsecured in the car.   

As the driver, both tickets were issued to the plaintiff.    Plaintiff had to pay late fees for the tickets, so she wants $900+ total.  As JJ says, plaintiff got a ticket for driving improperly, and allowed the defendant to use an improper car seat.   

Case dismissed. 

Second (2016)-

God's Gift to Women in the Hot Seat-Plaintiffs Delvon McDonald (loser ex-boyfriend), and his current fiance) Breanne Capeci suing defendant Vanessa Ray (his former girlfriend, and roommate, along with a cast of thousands) for false arrest, missed work, lost wages, and emotional distress.   

Defendant used to live with plaintiff man, they shared a bedroom for two years, and raised their three children together, in a one-bedroom apartment.    The three children slept in one bed, and the two litigants slept in another bed, with both beds in the same room.      New fiance has one on the way with loser plaintiff, and she has other kids too.   Defendant has two kids, and plaintiff man has one child.   Plaintiff fiance has two kids, and another on the way with plaintiff man.  

Plaintiff man moved out two years before the case.  Plaintiff man went from defendant's place, and right into his current fiance's place.         For the two years, plaintiff man, and defendant texted back and forth, and that stopped when defendant filed for restraining order.    

Plaintiff man says he only boinked defendant once, in his brother's truck.   How classy for both litigants.    Plaintiff claims he never keyed defendant's car, or slashed her tires.   Defendant claims there's security camera footage of man vandalizing car, but of course, there's no copy.   Plaintiff told defendant his current fiance isn't fat like defendant is (OK, he said his current, beautiful fiance is 'regular size' unlike the defendant). 

There was a kerfuffle at kid's school, on open house night, and where at least two of the kids go to school, and man was arrested, after defendant received restraining order against defendant man.  Defendant’s mother was at open house too, and saw plaintiff man and her daughter talking.   Plaintiff fiance has a 1-year protective order, after a hearing in court.   Defendant has a restraining order against plaintiff man, for 18 months.   Plaintiff man told to make a record, and video defendant stalking his house.    Defendant mother has a restraining order against plaintiff man.    However, the supposed assault at school was when defendant approached plaintiff man.  

Bar must be pretty low for that to happen in their jurisdiction, for the equivalent of 'he looked at me funny', and when the defendant never assaulted the plaintiffs.  

JJ tells plaintiff fiance that what plaintiff man did to defendant is in her future, but she obviously doesn’t believe it. 

Defendant case dismissed.    Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2014)-

Ex-lover Assault Story – Plaintiff Betty Harris is suing ex Joshua Floutin for breaking their apartment lease, and assault.  However, defendant says plaintiff was drunk, attacked him, and he was defending himself.   Defendant moved out of the apartment, with his daughter, after the assault.   Defendant paid his portion of the rent through October, even though he moved out three months before.   He told plaintiff she had three months to find another roommate, but she didn't and plaintiff is suing for rent for the last three months.

Plaintiff's Golden Retriever was sick, needed IV's and medication every hour, and she wanted the defendant to 'be there for her' with the dog.  

The police report plaintiff filed was only her story, because police witnessed nothing.   Plaintiff hit defendant, and then he pushed her away, and then she pushed him. and she claims he threw her on the bed, and punched her in the back.   Plaintiff also gets blackout drunk on occasion, and has had physical altercations too. 

Plaintiff case for rent dismissed, and assault also.  

Second (2014)-

Scooter Squabble -Plaintiff Kenny Boggs suing defendants Jody and Keith Gillespie for a scooter damaged by their daughter Abigail.   Plaintiff takes his son, Killan, to the bus stop every morning on his electric scooter every morning to meet the bus, and waits for the bus to arrive.   Plaintiff says Abigail wanted to ride the scooter, and only if she brought a note giving permission from her parents, and a helmet.   

Before she brought a note, she was sitting on the scooter, but the key was in it, and it was running.  Abigail gripped the handle bars, and it started to fall over, so she grabbed the throttle and the scooter surged forward.    The scooter was on the kick stand, when Abigail got on the scooter, and it fell over and was scratched.  As JJ says, plaintiff left the key in the scooter.  So, Abigail could have been injured or killed, and her parents would have owned everything plaintiff had.   Plaintiff was careless.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Spit in the Face -Plaintiff / brother Athan Anagonye suing defendant /sister Christina Anagonye who broke his TV, and tried to have him arrested when they were living in the same house on separate floors.     

Plaintiff says sister came to his basement apartment to see her brand new washer and dryer delivered to the basement that day.   Sister wanted to do laundry in the basement in the middle of the night, so brother turned the washer and dryer off.  Then defendant spit in plaintiff's face, and she smacked his TV and broke it.   So, plaintiff took defendant's TV until she replaced his TV.   Then defendant called the police, lied about the assault, and police didn't believe sister.  

After police left, defendant took her TV back, and that's when the plaintiff decided to move out.  Defendant is counter suing for rent, bills, and dryer damage.  Defendant claims she loaned $700 to plaintiff, and claims she has a text verifying that. There is no due amount on the text that JJ can find. 

Plaintiff receives $250 for TV.   Defendant gets zero.

First (2017)-

Mother Leaves Toddler in Car-Plaintiff A’Kalli Carter is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend and Baby Daddy Quinton Fitcheard over an assault, ramming her vehicle. and other garbage.     Plaintiff trespassed on defendant's property, found him with another woman, left her two- and six-year-old children in the car alone (Defendant is only father of the two-year-old).   Plaintiff was supposed to meet defendant at defendant's mother house, and she claims he would give her some money.     (Defendant is wearing the large, shirt, with fold marks, I'm suspecting nasty tattoos, or something inappropriate under it).    Defendant said they were going to meet at a neutral place, because he knew the plaintiff wouldn't be rational if she saw the new girlfriend.    New girlfriend of defendant is his witness in court.

There is no custody support order for the two-year-old.    She just would call the defendant, ask for money, and they would meet and he would pay her.     Defendant claims they didn't agree to meet, or come to his mother's house (he doesn't live there), when the defendant's new girlfriend was there.     Defendant said he told plaintiff not to drop in at his place, his mother's place or anywhere else.  

(Quinton Fitcheard has a cute posting on FB [it pops up when you search his name], saying "Love You, Mrs. Judy"-it's actually hidden now.  He looks really familiar to me.)

Plaintiff claims she called defendant, he didn't answer, and so at 8 p.m. she saw his car at his mother's house.   Plaintiff left her children alone in the car, she walked into the house without permission, and went to the family room where the defendant was (actually she said, Man Cave).   Plaintiff demands money from defendant, and he asked her why she was in his mother's house.     

He's counter suing for stalking, and car damages.    Plaintiff sat down in Quintin’s Man Cave, and refused to leave.     Plaintiff was sitting there chatting with defendant's sister about going to a strip club, meanwhile the two children were sitting alone in the car outside.   Plaintiff claims defendant grabbed her hair, dragged her outside, and threw her outside.   (I personally would like to do the same to her, her head shaking no is very irritating).

Police report claims defendant assaulted her.    Defendant says he told plaintiff to leave, several times, and claims she lunged at him, and he was fending her off.   Defendant claims plaintiff bit him, punched, and kicked him, and several others.    When defendant finally went outside, defendant claims she pulled her car in front of his, and wouldn't let him leave.   

JJ says plaintiff started all of the trouble, and defendant shouldn't have gone to his car until plaintiff left.   Plaintiff didn't file for a protective order, mostly because at the hearing there would have been eight witnesses against her.   

 JJ suggests child support with automatic deductions by the court, with fixed court ordered visitation, and have a neutral exchange place, after the court sets all of this up.    Why do I suspect the older child’s other parent probably has a similar story with plaintiff.

JJ tells plaintiff to leave the defendant alone.    Both cases dismissed.  

Second (2017)-

Family Movers and the Police Chase-Plaintiff LeAnn Watson suing defendants/ her former friends (father) James Millus and (daughter) Brittney Millus over a rental car that was impounded by police, she wants $5,000 for the rental car costs.    Plaintiff's hoarder father was being evicted from storage units, and his home, she wanted some stuff delivered to her home (huge mistake).   Defendants were family friends, and worked about 20 days moving stuff (defendants say 45 days), and were to be paid $10 an hour.   JJ will estimate 30 days of work, equals 240 hours, $2400 total wages (plaintiff didn't keep track of hours, or days worked).   Plaintiff gave them $1000 up front. still owing $1400.   

Defendant man says he was given the Jeep Cherokee, for a down payment of $2500, man was going to work off.    Then pay $200 a month to pay off.    JJ will call the Jeep paid.   Jeep is in Reno, NV, impounded by police, and title was never signed over to the defendant.   (On a shallow note, how much younger is the plaintiff's fiance than plaintiff?)

Plaintiff will have to get a copy of the title, and sign it over to defendant man, and call the payment for moving even.  Plaintiff will sign the title over to plaintiff.  

Plaintiff rented a car, (after her Mercedes was crashed by defendant man) it was used by defendants to travel to and from the moving venues.   Defendant daughter gave it to her boyfriend, who ended up arrested with daughter, by the police during a police chase.   

Plaintiff wants $5,000 for letting the defendants, and boyfriend to drive the Hertz car, and to get it out of impound.    Defendants weren't on the rental contract as drivers.   JJ looks at the rental contract.  (Officer Byrd would love to kick the plaintiff's fanny for her dithering, and not giving JJ what she asked for).   Title to impounded Jeep will be signed, and given to defendant man.   

Defendant daughter claims plaintiff gave the keys to the rental to the boyfriend.   Daughter claims they were arrested after a police chase, and boyfriend is still in prison.   Daughter denies she knows why boyfriend was arrested, after the police chase while eluding.   Daughter claims they lived with plaintiff for three weeks to move, and clean house.   

Defendant daughter claims plaintiff said they were going to open a thrift store.  Plaintiff claims her parents were hoarders with a full house, and yard, and multiple storage units.   

Everything for both sides dismissed, and defendant man gets title to Jeep signed over.  (All of the litigants, and witnesses are idiots).   (I really wish there was a video of the police chase and the arrest, I love a good police chase and  perp walk)

[parrotfeathers]

Twice this week I've seen JJ use the "you've got insurance he only has to pay the deductible."   It's okay if someone vandalizes your car and does $4,000 worth of damage to your vehicle and just because you have insurance all they pay is the deductible?  That's really not equitable in my opinion.

First (2014)-

Tummy Tuck Trials -Plaintiff Jesse Cornelius suing defendant/ex- Elizabeth Hicks, for non-payment of a loan for a tummy tuck for the mother of eight (only one child between the litigants), and for a false CPS report by defendant.   Her children arrange from 3 to 18.    Plaintiff had a child with defendant, he was just over 20, and she is almost 15 years older, when they had the child.   Defendant only had custody of the 18 and 15 year old, and the 2 to 3 year old kid, the other five children are with their father.     Plaintiff is a realtor, and his grandmother watches the baby when he does house showings.    Plaintiff agreed to loan the money to defendant, and would receive $250 a month from defendant.  (This happened in Elk River, MN).

Defendant pays child support for the five children to her child’s father who has custody.   Plaintiff has full time custody of the youngest child, and defendant is supposed to pay child support to the plaintiff.   When they broke up, defendant paid a partial payment.   After October’s partial payment on the loan, defendant stopped paying on the loan.    Defendant moved out from plaintiff’s place, and is now married to another man, and has two sons living with her.   

Defendant says she didn’t have money to pay the loan after her son went to rehab, and then moved home with her.   Defendant moved in with her mother (I think I got this wrong, defendant and son lived with someone), until the homeowner said it was too crowded in her house.  So, defendant Mother-of-the-Year candidate, moved out and dumped her 17-year-old son at a homeless shelter.

At the time of the surgery, defendant couldn’t get a Care Credit card because she had bad credit, because she owed back child support.  The entire cost of the surgery after deposit was $8,900.   Defendant only paid $500 deposit for the surgery.

Balance is $5,697.   

CPS charges by defendant were disproven, and he has full custody of the child.    Defendant claims the plaintiff is still in love with her, but yet she moved out and married another man two weeks after she broke up with the plaintiff. 

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Salvaged Motorcycle Woes -Plaintiff/motorcycle buyer Kevin Czyrny is suing defendant/motorcycle seller Kristen Carpentierii for a title to a motorcycle he bought from defendant for his girlfriend.   Defendant says motorcycle has a salvage title.   Plaintiff said the title needs to be signed and produced by defendant, then motorcycle can be inspected, and a title and registration.  

Salvage title is in New York state, and held by her insurance company.  

So, plaintiff gets a refund, and will return the motorcycle to defendant. Defendant told to get a good title before reselling the motorcycle.  JJ has to give the address of the defendant to plaintiff so he can return the motorcycle. 

Motorcycle back to defendant, money back to plaintiff.

Second (2014)-

Camper Trailer Battle! -Plaintiff Zena Lewis suing defendant Ray Stankewitz for the return of a trailer.   Defendant came into possession of a travel trailer that the plaintiff once owned.   Defendant claims he can’t return the trailer, because he sold it for $1,900.  JJ threatens to eviscerate the defendant.   Defendant says there was a storage lien on the trailer, and when the lien was cleared, he sold the trailer.  The trailer is a 24 year old travel trailer.    Trailer was parked in front of property, when plaintiff was incarcerated.   Person who owned the property (Bob Seavey, the defendant’s witness) got sick of the trailer being parked on his property, and he told defendant to get it off of his property.  Defendant fixed up trailer (bad axles, and other issues), it cost him over $500 for the axles, and a year after this defendant sold the trailer.  (This happened in Apple Valley, CA).

(Defendant is slurring his words so badly that they are subtitling his testimony).  

Defendant’s sworn answer to court bears no resemblance to his testimony in court. 

Defendant says the first time he came to JJ’s court, plaintiff didn’t show up.  Plaintiff thinks it’s funny she was incarcerated again, and that’s why she missed court the first time.    Bob the witness, said he financed everything while the plaintiff was in jail twice, including a $1500 kennel bill for her dog.   Plaintiff also had several trailers on her property.    

Plaintiff was release from jail the first time in December 2012, and got two trailers back.   Then a few months later she went to see defendant about the travel trailer.   Plaintiff showed up at defendant’s house at midnight to ask where the trailer was, after defense witness Robert told her where the trailer was.      

 Travel trailer is titled in plaintiff, and her husband Robert’s name, in Oregon.    Plaintiff claims defendant paid former landlord $500 for the trailer, and she told him the trailer was stolen.   Former landlord was stuck with plaintiff’s things when she went to jail.    Then, when plaintiff went to police about the travel trailer she was arrested and jailed again (probation violation).  

JJ calls defendant a thief, but plaintiff is pretty shady too.   JJ won’t give defendant storage fees either, no contract with the plaintiff.   Defendant says the registration papers weren’t with plaintiff when she came to his house.  How did trailer buyer get a title to the trailer without the title.

Plaintiff gets $1,900.

First (2017)-

Fraud and Forgery?!-Plaintiff/former employee Jermari Martin  and his grandmother, Brenda Gailliard, are suing defendant/former employer Brian Dougherty over unpaid wages, and forged checks for pay that employer forged, and cashed.    Defendant claims the plaintiff stole money from the business, and cashed forged checks.   Plaintiff worked for landscaping business for one summer, part time, and he pays in check and cash.   

 JJ sees the check copies, and signatures on cashed checks don't look like the same person signed them.    Even I can tell three of them are forged.   

Defendant doesn't know when two of the checks were signed, and cashed.   Defendant is very slippery.  Defendant fired plaintiff at the end of the summer.   Defendant has no proof of any loans or advances to plaintiff.    Defendant says he has text messages about loans on his phone (how miraculous, the phone still exists).   The texts prove nothing.  Defendant claims he deposited two checks for plaintiff, but has no proof. 

Plaintiff receives $1,700.

Contractor or Conman?  -  Plaintiff Karin Novy suing defendant/landscaping contractor Konrad Bishop for failing to complete a landscaping job she paid him $4,000 to do.   Contractor used to have his own landscaping, and tree trimming company (it's now gone).   He hasn't paid income taxes, or filed tax returns, since 2011. 

Defendant did a great job on trimming a huge oak tree for plaintiff.   She then wanted him to do a landscaping project, including a patio, planters, fire pit, etc.    Only one small pile of landscaping gravel was delivered (plaintiff already had pavers, and other landscaping items).

Defendant is blaming everything on the former partner, and he has several outstanding invoices for the work.

Plaintiff receives $4,000.

Second (2017)-

Dysfunctional Household  -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Sean Dailey and boyfriend’s  father Patrick Daily suing defendant /former girlfriend of son, Sherri Englent for a false restraining order, and attorney fees defending against the restraining order.     

Plaintiff /boyfriend lived with defendant for three years, with her two minor children.  Plaintiff father moved in when he had health issues.   Defendant filed a restraining order against the boyfriend, to get him out of the apartment to move her new boyfriend in.   

Litigants broke up, but lived together with their kids (2 are hers, 1 is his), for a while.    The new boyfriend wears an ankle monitor, for criminal reasons.    Defendants didn't want the boyfriend, and his ankle monitor around the kids.   (I bet it's a condition of him staying out of jail to never be with minor children). 

Defendant filed for a restraining order, to get rid of plaintiffs, and move in boyfriend (new boyfriend can't live (he's a registered sex offender with an ankle monitor).  New boyfriend was also convicted for drug offenses. 

 Defendant claims her 8-year-old was hit on the arm by plaintiff, and they didn't report to the police for over a week.   Then defendant filed for the protective order, so she could get the plaintiffs out, and she could keep the apartment.  Defendant did the restraining order and police report to avoid going to housing court, or moving to another location.    Defendant says they went to mediation on the restraining order, and they ‘agreed to live together’.    So, no restraining order was ever granted. 

Plaintiffs had to hire an attorney to defend against the protective order, because adult son carries a fire arm at his security guard job (convictions for domestic violence means no more license to carry fire arms).   

Plaintiff's get some property back from defendant, they also receive motel and moving fees, and $700 security deposit, and attorney fees.   

(Plaintiff father discusses the defendant's boyfriend with the ankle monitors record as a registered sex offender, and drug charges)

 $2300 for plaintiffs, defendant gets nothing.   

My Tenant, the Vandal  -Plaintiff/landlord Barbara Montoya is suing defendant/former tenant Katherine Crow for vandalizing her rental property.    Defendant moved out in (defendant is confused, and says she either moved out in June 2016, or August 2016).  Apparently, the actual move out was August 2016.    $550 was the security and pet deposit (they were supposed to total $850).   

Plaintiff/landlady found out multiple people not on lease, including defendant's husband, nephew, nephew's girlfriend, defendant's two brothers, and two other people, were living in apartment.      Original roommate moved out very quickly after signing the lease.     

One resident included defendant's husband, who she's trying to serve divorce paper on, she says he has 'anger issues' according to defendant, but defendant can't find him for divorce paper service.  Defendant did not take pictures of apartment condition, and didn't do a walk through, or notify the plaintiff when she was moving.   

I love the plaintiff, she has before, and after pictures of the apartment.    There are large holes punched in the wall, discarded cigarettes on the carpet, and lots of trash.   Plaintiff hired some outside repair people, and her husband and son to do the extensive repairs to the apartment.   

Defendant claims in hall-terview that someone else must have broken in, and damaged the apartment after she left.  

$5,000 to plaintiff.

Finally watched an episode where the two people were clearly lying about the case just to be on JJ. 

S21E169 the second case was two people that claimed to be friends with benefits and he said she owed him money for car payments,  it's not important because it was so fake.  First they color coordinated their outfits and they were never a couple it was very very clear. JJ said ok you both came LA, fine case dismissed.  Lol. They should just said they were friends, why the wanted to act  if they had a sexual relationship  was stupid. Judy even told him this isn't an audition  lol.

Repeat Offender Baby Daddy -Plaintiff Angela Fishe suing baby daddy/defendant Michael Cuffie for destroying her laptop, and repayment of money she sent him while he was in prison.  Cuffie was in jail for drug dealing. 

Plaintiff gets upset when JJ says plaintiff isn’t getting any money back.  

JJ bounces a man from the audience who looks totally stunned when she singles him out.

Plaintiff gets nothing, and as JJ says she feels sorry for the poor baby.

Pick of the Litter Liar -Plaintiff Cherie Guarino (sister) is suing defendant Donald Carley (brother) for money she loaned him for a divorce lawyer, $1500, and still owes her $500.   Defendant says he gave plaintiff a dog, and he was supposed to get pick of the litter, but says plaintiff didn’t give him a puppy. 

Plaintiff says she only took the dogs in 2012, because brother was going to put them all to sleep.

Plaintiff gets $500.

Second (2014)-

Punch Drunk Love -Plaintiff Hollie Dowdle suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Zachary Storrs for an assault, and return of belongings.  Plaintiff moved into defendant's apartment, and she wanted him to leave the apartment (it was a loft/apartment above defendant's grandmother's garage).   

On the night in question, woman was watching TV while defendant was trying to sleep.   Then, the plaintiff's phone rang, so defendant answered it, and instead of her female cousin, it was some guy.    Plaintiff claimed defendant was wrong, and defendant says this was the third time she was cheating.   Then defendant says plaintiff called her grandmother, and took everything with her.  

Defendant claims plaintiff took everything but a shirt, and a pair of jeans when she left his apartment.   Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted her, and she was bruised and bleeding, when she left the apartment.   Plaintiff claims defendant kicked her in the nose during the fight.   Plaintiff claims fight happened at 2:30 a.m., and grandmother came to pick her up at 10:30 a.m.    

 Plaintiff's mother wasn't involved in any of this, but did come on Officer Byrd's dime to come for a free trip to L.A.   The mother keeps trying to butt into the case.   

Plaintiff applied for a protective order, and received one. A Domestic Violence protective order, and both litigants testified at the trial.     The plaintiff doesn’t have the application for the protective order, or a police report.

Plaintiff claim dismissed. 

Pyramid Scheme – Plaintiff Jeanette and Michael Kelly suing defendants, David Kennedy and his mother, Deborah Kennedy for ripping them off on a pyramid scheme.  Typical pyramid scheme, where plaintiff earns money by bringing in other suckers, which is often MLM-Multi-level Marketing. 

Plaintiffs bought into the defendants’ scheme for $135, plus $80 for signs.   Then, plaintiffs had to bring people into the business, and the people they recruited would bring others in, and they were foolish. Defendant son calls the company a network marketing system, but he owns no businesses.

Defendant says plaintiff purchased a Bluehost domain name, not from him.

As JJ says, the defendants’ business is an illegal pyramid scheme, when Officer Byrd remarks that it’s the American way.

JJ will not help the plaintiffs, they were fools.   They're lucky, it only cost them $135 to find out it was a scheme. 

Case dismissed. In the hall-terview plaintiff woman says she’s lost money in every MLM scheme she’s been involved in, how stupid can you get.  The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over, and getting the same outcome.   The picture in the dictionary next to "stupidity" is of the plaintiffs.

First (2017)-

Man Suspects He's a Father-Plaintiff Kelsey Russell suing defendant/child's father Corey McNulty for vandalizing her vehicle, and keeping, then disposing of her property.     Plaintiff had child by defendant, she wanted them to be a family (for 4 months, September to December), and co-parent the baby.     For the first four months of the child's life, plaintiff said someone else was the father, then there was a paternity test at the defendant's request.   When paternity was confirmed, defendant invited plaintiff to move in with him, for the baby's sake.   

The litigants were living together, as co-parents, not romantic partners.     In November, plaintiff claims man broke her phone, assaulted her, vandalized her car, trashed her property.    Plaintiff claims man came home to his own house, drunk and with another woman.   Plaintiff claims when she told the woman to leave, that he assaulted her, broke her phone, and vandalized her car.   

Police officer told man to leave until he sobered up.    Defendant slept at his friend's home, down the street.   Plaintiff complains that man came back to his own home the next day.    Police report notes no evidence of injury or abuse.   When plaintiff went with the police to the man's house, her property was outside, and claims a dent in her car was his fault.    

Plaintiff claims her phone was gone, and man admitted denting her Jeep.   Of course, defendant denies that.     Plaintiff also wants a TV, and dining set, but defendant says he has nothing belonging to the plaintiff.     

(I believe nothing the plaintiff says.    She didn't even tell defendant he might have a child, until he saw a picture of the baby, and demanded a DNA test).   

 

$994 for plaintiff. 

Dog Custody Battle-Plaintiff Ola Hawks suing defendant/former friend Angela Laguerre-Camacho over custody of a dog, and emotional distress.     (Defendant's Bozo red hair, and tattoo are ugly, and what is that giant mole next to her lip?)     Plaintiff and boyfriend lived together, bought the dog (a Pit Bull, and they claim it's a pocket Pit-which doesn't exist), broke up, and couldn't take the dog to her mother's house where she lived.          Plaintiff asked defendant to take care of dog, and now claims her mother will let her keep the dog at her place (plaintiff lives with Mom now, but brought Godmother to court).   

When plaintiff went to defendant's house with the police to get the dog, she told police "she would figure it out" on where to take the dog.    Police refused to give the dog to plaintiff.   

Plaintiff came back again, and still had nowhere to take the dog. 

Plaintiff claims she has somewhere to keep the dog, and gets the dog back.    

Second (2017)-

Lying Teens False Imprisonment-Plaintiff Gianni Smith suing defendant/former boyfriend Joshua Rainone for assault, false imprisonment, and the cost of a new phone.    Plaintiff was staying over at the defendant's house, (she's 19, he's 21).    Plaintiff mother (Tracee Smith), claims daughter went to stay with her other sibling, but she really went to boyfriend's house instead.   Plaintiff arrived at 2 a.m. at defendant's home, and they were arguing.    Plaintiff says she wasn't drinking, because she was driving (doesn't mention she's underage).   

The next day, when plaintiff woke up, the argument continued.   Plaintiff didn't have her car, she came back to mother's house, and defendant picked her up at mother's house, and took her to his place.    Plaintiff's mother dislikes defendant, and so plaintiff was secretly staying at defendant's home.  (Plaintiff's mother certainly isn't looking happy with her daughter's court testimony).   

Plaintiff claims defendant kept her boots, and she started walking home in the snow, then defendant gave her the boots back.   Then she got in his car, and claims he took her to his apartment, and claims she jumped out of defendant's car.   Defendant says plaintiff must have left her phone somewhere, and he's going to pay for that.       Police report says nothing special, and defendant says plaintiff broke his phone.   

 Medical records say nothing about injuries.

Plaintiff gets $350 for her previous phone.     (As usual, it’s an iPhone).

Don't Be Late for Court-Plaintiff Trey Parks suing defendant/former friend Gabrielle Snider , for car payments, and car insurance costs.  

 (Defendant was late for court, can't figure out time changes from NY, to LA).     

Defendant had DUIs, and lost her license.   Plaintiff says defendant wanted him to drive her around, and she would pay car payments, and insurance, but didn't pay for two months.     

Plaintiff case is dismissed, since they were still involved when all of the car payments and insurance costs occurred.     (However, as others have posted, it’s obvious that both simply wanted to be on TV, and get the show money, and a free trip to L.A. How cute they have matching shirts. )

Repeat Offender Baby Daddy -Plaintiff Angela Fishe suing baby daddy/defendant Michael Cuffie for destroying her laptop, and repayment of money she sent him while he was in prison.  Cuffie was in jail for drug dealing. 

Plaintiff gets upset when JJ says plaintiff isn’t getting any money back.  

JJ bounces a man from the audience who looks totally stunned when she singles him out.

Plaintiff gets nothing, and as JJ says she feels sorry for the poor baby.

Pick of the Litter Liar -Plaintiff Cherie Guarino (sister) is suing defendant Donald Carley (brother) for money she loaned him for a divorce lawyer, $1500, and still owes her $500.   Defendant says he gave plaintiff a dog, and he was supposed to get pick of the litter, but says plaintiff didn’t give him a puppy. 

Plaintiff says she only took the dogs in 2012, because brother was going to put them all to sleep.

Plaintiff gets $500.

Second (2014)-

Punch Drunk Love -Plaintiff Hollie Dowdle suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Zachary Storrs for an assault, and return of belongings.  Plaintiff moved into defendant's apartment, and she wanted him to leave the apartment (it was a loft/apartment above defendant's grandmother's garage).   

On the night in question, woman was watching TV while defendant was trying to sleep.   Then, the plaintiff's phone rang, so defendant answered it, and instead of her female cousin, it was some guy.    Plaintiff claimed defendant was wrong, and defendant says this was the third time she was cheating.   Then defendant says plaintiff called her grandmother, and took everything with her.  

Defendant claims plaintiff took everything but a shirt, and a pair of jeans when she left his apartment.   Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted her, and she was bruised and bleeding, when she left the apartment.   Plaintiff claims defendant kicked her in the nose during the fight.   Plaintiff claims fight happened at 2:30 a.m., and grandmother came to pick her up at 10:30 a.m.    

 Plaintiff's mother wasn't involved in any of this, but did come on Officer Byrd's dime to come for a free trip to L.A.   The mother keeps trying to butt into the case.   

Plaintiff applied for a protective order, and received one. A Domestic Violence protective order, and both litigants testified at the trial.     The plaintiff doesn’t have the application for the protective order, or a police report.

Plaintiff claim dismissed. 

Pyramid Scheme – Plaintiff Jeanette and Michael Kelly suing defendants, David Kennedy and his mother, Deborah Kennedy for ripping them off on a pyramid scheme.  Typical pyramid scheme, where plaintiff earns money by bringing in other suckers, which is often MLM-Multi-level Marketing. 

Plaintiffs bought into the defendants’ scheme for $135, plus $80 for signs.   Then, plaintiffs had to bring people into the business, and the people they recruited would bring others in, and they were foolish. Defendant son calls the company a network marketing system, but he owns no businesses.

Defendant says plaintiff purchased a Bluehost domain name, not from him.

As JJ says, the defendants’ business is an illegal pyramid scheme, when Officer Byrd remarks that it’s the American way.

JJ will not help the plaintiffs, they were fools.   They're lucky, it only cost them $135 to find out it was a scheme. 

Case dismissed. In the hall-terview plaintiff woman says she’s lost money in every MLM scheme she’s been involved in, how stupid can you get.  The definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over, and getting the same outcome.   The picture in the dictionary next to "stupidity" is of the plaintiffs.

First (2017)-

Man Suspects He's a Father-Plaintiff Kelsey Russell suing defendant/child's father Corey McNulty for vandalizing her vehicle, and keeping, then disposing of her property.     Plaintiff had child by defendant, she wanted them to be a family (for 4 months, September to December), and co-parent the baby.     For the first four months of the child's life, plaintiff said someone else was the father, then there was a paternity test at the defendant's request.   When paternity was confirmed, defendant invited plaintiff to move in with him, for the baby's sake.   

The litigants were living together, as co-parents, not romantic partners.     In November, plaintiff claims man broke her phone, assaulted her, vandalized her car, trashed her property.    Plaintiff claims man came home to his own house, drunk and with another woman.   Plaintiff claims when she told the woman to leave, that he assaulted her, broke her phone, and vandalized her car.   

Police officer told man to leave until he sobered up.    Defendant slept at his friend's home, down the street.   Plaintiff complains that man came back to his own home the next day.    Police report notes no evidence of injury or abuse.   When plaintiff went with the police to the man's house, her property was outside, and claims a dent in her car was his fault.    

Plaintiff claims her phone was gone, and man admitted denting her Jeep.   Of course, defendant denies that.     Plaintiff also wants a TV, and dining set, but defendant says he has nothing belonging to the plaintiff.     

(I believe nothing the plaintiff says.    She didn't even tell defendant he might have a child, until he saw a picture of the baby, and demanded a DNA test).   

 

$994 for plaintiff. 

Dog Custody Battle-Plaintiff Ola Hawks suing defendant/former friend Angela Laguerre-Camacho over custody of a dog, and emotional distress.     (Defendant's Bozo red hair, and tattoo are ugly, and what is that giant mole next to her lip?)     Plaintiff and boyfriend lived together, bought the dog (a Pit Bull, and they claim it's a pocket Pit-which doesn't exist), broke up, and couldn't take the dog to her mother's house where she lived.          Plaintiff asked defendant to take care of dog, and now claims her mother will let her keep the dog at her place (plaintiff lives with Mom now, but brought Godmother to court).   

When plaintiff went to defendant's house with the police to get the dog, she told police "she would figure it out" on where to take the dog.    Police refused to give the dog to plaintiff.   

Plaintiff came back again, and still had nowhere to take the dog. 

Plaintiff claims she has somewhere to keep the dog, and gets the dog back.    

Second (2017)-

Lying Teens False Imprisonment-Plaintiff Gianni Smith suing defendant/former boyfriend Joshua Rainone for assault, false imprisonment, and the cost of a new phone.    Plaintiff was staying over at the defendant's house, (she's 19, he's 21).    Plaintiff mother (Tracee Smith), claims daughter went to stay with her other sibling, but she really went to boyfriend's house instead.   Plaintiff arrived at 2 a.m. at defendant's home, and they were arguing.    Plaintiff says she wasn't drinking, because she was driving (doesn't mention she's underage).   

The next day, when plaintiff woke up, the argument continued.   Plaintiff didn't have her car, she came back to mother's house, and defendant picked her up at mother's house, and took her to his place.    Plaintiff's mother dislikes defendant, and so plaintiff was secretly staying at defendant's home.  (Plaintiff's mother certainly isn't looking happy with her daughter's court testimony).   

Plaintiff claims defendant kept her boots, and she started walking home in the snow, then defendant gave her the boots back.   Then she got in his car, and claims he took her to his apartment, and claims she jumped out of defendant's car.   Defendant says plaintiff must have left her phone somewhere, and he's going to pay for that.       Police report says nothing special, and defendant says plaintiff broke his phone.   

 Medical records say nothing about injuries.

Plaintiff gets $350 for her previous phone.     (As usual, it’s an iPhone).

Don't Be Late for Court-Plaintiff Trey Parks suing defendant/former friend Gabrielle Snider , for car payments, and car insurance costs.  

 (Defendant was late for court, can't figure out time changes from NY, to LA).     

Defendant had DUIs, and lost her license.   Plaintiff says defendant wanted him to drive her around, and she would pay car payments, and insurance, but didn't pay for two months.     

Plaintiff case is dismissed, since they were still involved when all of the car payments and insurance costs occurred.     (However, as others have posted, it’s obvious that both simply wanted to be on TV, and get the show money, and a free trip to L.A. How cute they have matching shirts. )

The matching outfit was my first tell. When I saw her I thought what a great color on her, it was lovely.  Then I noticed his shirt, was the same color and thought, coincidence?  I don't think so. They both looked nice 😁

First (2014)-

Mysterious Motorists -Plaintiff Terry Bross suing defendants (driver) Christianna Castillo and (car owner) Megan Mulroy over damages from a car accident, plaintiff was rear ended while stopped at a red light.  Defendant Castillo was driving, and she rear ended plaintiff’s car.  Car owner Mulroy let plaintiff drive her car, but Castillo couldn’t find the insurance card at the accident, so the defendants had to go to court to prove car was insured.   Car damages were never claimed on defendant’s car policy. 

Defendant Mulroy says she didn’t claim the damages to her insurance because she wasn’t driving when it happened. 

I agree with JJ, why did defendant Mulroy agree to pay the damages to plaintiff instead of claiming on her insurance, and after agreeing to pay, didn’t?  

Plaintiff says before the police showed up at the accident, that two other cars came to the accident and removed a lot of stuff, and then fled the scene.   Defendant driver Castillo says she called Mulroy right after the accident, and her sister-in-law, and that’s when the other people showed up at the accident, grabbing a lot of objects out of the car.    The mystery drivers were defendant driver’s sister-in-law, and her boyfriend came to the accident.     

Plaintiff submits the estimate for his car damages.

Plaintiff gets money for car damages $4210.

Bitter Break Up -Plaintiff Jacob Thomas suing defendant / ex-girlfriend Aliicia Fox for the balance of a title loan and return of the Honda’s title,  on a 20-year-old Honda Civic.   Defendant claims the day they broke up, that he gave her the title to the Honda.    Plaintiff bought a used 2003 Subaru, before they broke up, and he was driving the Subaru and the Honda.    Plaintiff says they went 50/50 on the Honda, and defendant was supposed to pay him $100 a month until his half payment on the Honda was paid up. 

Defendant says when she got a new boyfriend, that the plaintiff was upset, and then plaintiff wanted money for the Honda. 

When plaintiff gave car to defendant to drive, he thinks the title was in the car.    Plaintiff says defendant forged his name on the title, and then got a title loan on the car.

Defendant says plaintiff only took car back when she was dating someone else.

Defendant and plaintiff each paid $600 when they bought the Honda.

Defendant only took the title loan after they split up, and he took the car.

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant will get the car back after contacting police.

Second (2014)-

Don’t Fence Me In! -Plaintiffs Jeffrey Irwin and Ron Berry are suing defendant Debbie Toga for non-payment for putting a fence up once, and having to move it again.  The first fence was put in where defendant told them to put it, and that was on a neighbor's property, and plaintiff paid for the first fence.    Plaintiff claims defendants ripped up the check and broke her door.    First bid was $1502, for a 42 foot Redwood fence.   Defendant paid $1450.    

Plaintiff says they put fence up once, and it was on neighbor's property, which isn't defendant's property.   The 'neighbor' is a 5-star hotel, and defendant told plaintiffs to put the fence on their property, ruining their landscaping, and trespassing, and also told plaintiffs hotel is a front for a drug cartel.   Bet the hotel owners were upset about hearing the drug cartel statement on national TV. 

 After a day's work on the fence, plaintiff says they put up fence, and defendant wanted them to put fence on the high-class hotel next door, destroying the landscaping and other items, on the hotel's property.    Then defendant told the plaintiffs to move the fence, and erect it on her property.   Plaintiffs had to work twice as long, and use a lot more supplies.  

Defendant claims she had permission from the hotel to put the fence on neighboring hotel's property, and destroying the hotel's property.    (I hope the hotel sued defendant for the cost of fixing their property, and the landscaping she destroyed.)

Plaintiffs receive $2700 for the double fence installation. 

Premeditated Theft? -Plaintiff Ann Klugherz suing defendant Alan Jones for breaking items while moving them, and stealing from her home.   Plaintiff hired son's friend, defendant Alan Jones, to move items out of her property that she was selling.   House sold and plaintiff told defendant's brother, that defendant could have a futon, recliner, and TV stand from her basement. 

Defendant says his brother told him that he could take anything out of the house basement he needed.   Brother of defendant is plaintiff's witness.    Plaintiff moved out, and was selling the couch, and brother told defendant he could have anything in the basement.  

If your late grandmother's china is so precious to you, why would you leave it behind in the basement after you sell the house, and move out?   Plaintiff is totally hysterical, claiming defendant deliberately smashed her late grandmother's china, and it can't be replaced.   

Basement had futon, TV and stand, and recliner, and couch was sold to someone else.   Plaintiff is suing defendant for taking the couch, but he returned it.   Plaintiff says defendant took a VCR, and vacuum from the basement, and microwave.   Defendant returned the microwave also.    Plaintiff is suing for house damages, what a bunch of ca-ca.  

Plaintiff's son gave code to get into house to defendant.    Son testifies that defendant told him that he had permission to take futon, but that's a lie.    

Everything dismissed.  (This case of the broken grandma’s china is a classic.   Plaintiff is one of the most out of control people on this show.)

First (2017)-

Outrageous Mother on a Rampage-Plaintiffs Katelyn Rose (woman), suing defendant /mother of plaintiff's fiance's child Paige Brasher for car and house vandalism by defendant at a custody exchange.  For plaintiff witness’s child with defendant.  Plaintiff witness is her fiance, William Bader  (who is ex of defendant), and father of child with defendant.

The plaintiff man and defendant lived together from 2010 to 2015, and had a custody agreement in 2016.   After plaintiff man and defendant separated, he went to court to get a custody arrangement.   Custody 50/50 has been rocky, she gets kid Monday-Tuesday, he gets kid Wednesday-Thursday, and they alternate Friday through Sunday.   

Defendant came to visit the child on Thursday evening at plaintiff house, for mother's weekend visit.   Child had tonsils out recently, and mother wanted kid during recovery, but defendant came to visit son at plaintiff's house.    Defendant called plaintiff man at work repeatedly, and defendant came to man's job to see where son was, and to see if plaintiff woman was watching the kid.   

Defendant also wanted to see if plaintiff father was working, or if plaintiff's fiance was home with the child alone.   Plaintiff man's supervisor called and told him the defendant was coming by the man's workplace.  

Plaintiff father takes off Wednesday and Thursday for his son's visitation.    Son had tonsils out on Monday, and then went to father's place on Wednesday and Thursday, and then defendant would get child for Friday as usual (it was her weekend).    But defendant demanded to have the son earlier, and was jealous that father's fiance would be alone with the child.    

Defendant dislikes plaintiff fiancee woman, and then came to the home, where the house and car vandalism happened.  Plaintiff woman says defendant came to house, beat the sides of house, and doors with a lawn chair, smashed two huge windows at the plaintiff house, and the car windows and windshields are gone.    I can tell defendant why child was crying inside the house, because she was beating on the house, yelling, and being a jerk.   

JJ says plaintiff man should take defendant back to family court, and get supervised visitation only.   JJ is not buying defendant's stupid tale that she didn't do the damage.   Pictures of house and car damage are horrible. 

There is an audio clip of the vandalism (sadly, they don't play it).     I feel sorry for the child, his mother will never let go of her jealousy that the plaintiff father has moved on to someone else, and will never come back to her.   

Plaintiff gets $1250.  (They should have asked for $5,000 in my opinion, for the damages, and to help fund the custody fight).  In the hall-terview plaintiff says he's going to sue for full custody, and supervised visitation for the mother, and I hope he gets it. 

Child Support Nightmare-Plaintiff Dr. Adnon Bader (Dr. is a Gastrointerologist) suing former employee/defendant John Fisher for misuse of credit cards.   Defendant was paying almost $1,000 a month for child support, via payroll deduction.    Then defendant fell behind in paying support, and the $1,025 was coming out of pay for seven months while employed by plaintiff.     After defendant left the plaintiff's employment, the child support still came out of the plaintiffs money for three months.     

Plaintiff wants the three months paid back.   Defendant says it was in his employment agreement that for the term of his contract the child support will be paid by plaintiff's medical practice.   The contract clearly states that Texas is an at-will employment state, and that the employment of defendant will follow that law.  

Work contract says defendant is an at will employee, for $50k a year.  Employee was terminated 3 months early, but child support continued to be taken out of plaintiff’s accounts.

Plaintiff gets $3500, and never had to say a word.  

Second (2017)-

Father and Son Jail Time-Plaintiff/son Tucker Leonard is suing defendant/father Ernest Leonard  for money owed for sale of vehicles, and lost wages, $4,000.   Plaintiff received a $25,000 legal settlement for something that occurred in juvenile hall, and the plaintiff received the money when he turned 18.     All but $10,000 was gone by the time plaintiff went to jail, again.   The litigants were estranged, reunited, and plaintiff's father stayed long enough to spend all of the plaintiff's money.   

Defendant's idea is to purchase a truck, plow vehicle, and a car, a pickup truck used for parts, only the car was running.     The plaintiff purchased the vehicles for $4,000, and only drove the car, and was rearrested for a DWI in the car.  Car crashed, and was totaled, and plaintiff went to jail for a year.   

Then when he was released from jail, son asked defendant where the other three vehicles were, (purchased for $3,000), and father had sold them back to the friend they bought them from for $1500.    Plaintiff is suing father for $4,000.   Father also went to jail for two years, again, as usual.     Son spent a lot of the money partying with father, and then spent the rest in jail, so the last of the money is gone.   

(Plaintiff is looking very ill, and has to leave court to toss his cookies). 

Plaintiff gets $1500.

Car Lot Bug-Plaintiff Melanie Riley wants money back for a car she wanted to purchase from defendants’ car lot Bob Saraceno and Thomas Wiler, for $6500 total price ($7200 with tax and tags).    Plaintiff wanted to purchase car on lay away, where defendant keeps the car on their sales lot, until car paid off.    The pay off date isn't in the original contract.   Additional note says plaintiff will pay off in 90 days.    Plaintiff claims the signature on the addendum is a forgery.    Plaintiff didn't pay off car, and complains car wasn't stored indoors, or covered with a tarp.    Defendants counter suing for unpaid balance ($4543).     

Plaintiff paid a total of $2800 over six months.    Then plaintiff says car was damaged by being outside on the lot, and she didn't want the car, and wants a refund.      (My guess, plaintiff has zero credit to buy a car). 

Plaintiff gets case dismissed, and will not get a refund.   Defendant keeps the $2800 plaintiff paid, and can resell the car.   Considering the Blue Book price, and the money they've already received, defendants can resell car, and make out at least even.

First (2014)-

Don’t Flirt with the Judge! -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Alethea Lamb suing defendant/former live-in  Benny Morales for lawyer fees for a DUI and a subsequent car accident.    Defendant thinks he not just a sponge (as JJ calls him), and keeps trying to flirt with JJ.   Plaintiff was supporting the defendant, and he was living with the plaintiff.   Defendant claims plaintiff knew that his financial position was precarious.  After the loans, he paid nothing to plaintiff.   Defendant has an 8-year-old, and 6-year-old from a previous relationship, and didn’t feel like paying the plaintiff back.

Plaintiff only dumped defendant after she discovered he was cheating.    

Plaintiff wants DUI fees for an incident where he was driving her car, with her as a passenger, and JJ will not pay this.

Then defendant had a car accident, in plaintiff’s car, and he claimed he wasn’t drinking.   

Defendant was still being a live-in sponge during both incidents.  (Sponge is not sponge worthy, like on Seinfeld).

(This all happened in L.A.)

Plaintiff claims dismissed for everything.

Crash on a Commune! -Plaintiff  Louise Chen suing defendant /former boyfriend, and fellow commune member Matthew ‘Mateo’ Kates, for wrecking her car during a driving lesson in her 1997 Nissan Pathfinder.  Plaintiff is sent outside to get her car registration, JJ has to tell her to get the registration three times, and then Officer Byrd has to tell plaintiff to get her ass outside, and bring the registration into court.   

JJ asks defendant if he was still being intimate with plaintiff, but not at the exact second they were discussing the driving lesson.   JJ agrees there may be a difference between intimate and romantic between Imogen (roommate), and defendant.

The two litigants are part of some 15 person commune, in California.  

Another roommate borrowed the car, and Imogen had an accident with the car.    Plaintiff says Imogen was getting a driving lesson from defendant, but defendant denies he was giving her a lesson on the day of the accident.   There is no police report, or accident report, and Imogen the car crasher is plaintiff’s witness.    Imogen Eddington gave plaintiff $700 of the $1200 accident damages. 

Plaintiff witness Imogen Eddington seems as confused, and dim as her two roommates.   Witness can only narrow the accident down to a month.   This was Imogen’s second driving lesson, she was driving, and close to the house, Imogen turned too close to a corner, and hit a tree.   Imogen claims this wasn’t her fault, so I guess the tree jumped in front of her.    Imogen says she shouldn’t have been in the car at all, so the accident wasn’t her fault. 

JJ is in despair at the state of people refusing to take responsibility.

Plaintiff gets $0 for car damages from Officer Byrd, and plaintiff is told to send the bill to plaintiff witness.   The two litigants and witness are  still in need of adult supervision.

Second (2014)-

Homeless and Happy -Plaintiff Barbara Borsodi 41 year-old plaintiff is knocked up by 20-year old defendant Harley Howell, and is suing defendant for half the cost of a washer and dryer, unpaid bills, and a broken lease.   Plaintiff claims she still has the washer / dryer, but defendant claims she returned the washer / dryer.    They met while homeless, slept rough, couch surfed.   Plaintiff says they were waiting for her to inherit her late father’s house, his 401k, and other money.   Plaintiff claims to have congestive heart failure, two back surgeries, a shoulder injury, and is on disability.    The other three of plaintiff’s children are the same age or older than defendant.

Plaintiff claims it was true love, they were going to be together forever.   She claims he came to her, said he would be her man, and they would be together forever.    Plaintiff claims defendant used her. 

The crocodile tears from plaintiff are despicable.   They were 40 and 19 when they first hooked up, and moved in together. 

Defendant is now working as a deli clerk.   Plaintiff also says defendant will never get to see their child.   What a B-word.

As JJ says, 10 million saw her acknowledge paternity to defendant.  

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Insurance Scam or Practical Joke? -Plaintiff Kevin Williams Jr suing defendants Rufus and Michelle Dixon for the remainder of his car note, on a car defendant wife wrecked.    JJ knows it’s all an insurance scam, and a scam on the court.

Plaintiff got out of his car to mail something, and two or three people jumped in his car, and sped off.  He left the car door open, and the keys in the car. Then plaintiff called the police, and then the defendants, so wife came to pick him up.    They returned to defendants’ home.    There is a police report about the ‘carjacking’, but that only tells what plaintiff told the police.   Then, the fairy tale continues.    Plaintiff was driving wife’s car that was loaned to him, Rufus was following in his car, and wife was driving her car.   The next day wife sent a text to plaintiff about missing car.  A week later police called and the plaintiff’s car was found wrecked.  Then defendant Rufus Dixon told plaintiff that the ‘carjacking’ was a prank, and he wrecked the plaintiff’s car.   However, plaintiff didn’t tell police or his insurance company about the ‘prank’, and who the real carjacker was.  

Defendant Rufus says they invited plaintiff to go to church and then BBQ with them.  Then, plaintiff went to get a propane grill from his uncle.

JJ dismisses everything, because it’s a scam.

First (2017)-

Teen Fighting, Lying and Pregnancy-Plaintiff Barbara David and Alexxis Sandoval 17-year-old granddaughter, are suing defendants/her cousin Irene Sandoval,, 16 years old, and Anita Morgan her grandmother for breaking her phone.   The litigants are teenage cousins, fighting over the same loser.  Defendant dated loser, and then plaintiff started dating loser, apparently there was some overlap, then plaintiff heard defendant was dating the loser again.  (Loser is named Blake).

A fight started with defendant and some other girl named Julia (she’s the sister of Blake the Loser’s other girlfriend), at Nicholas park, then the plaintiff got involved in the fight too.      Everyone went to defendant's place, but she was staying at her aunt's house.  Defendant claims loser knocked up plaintiff, and that she later miscarried.    Defendant says about midnight plaintiff, and her posse of 20 girls showed up at the defendant's house.   Included in the posse was the loser's new girlfriend.     

Defendant claims plaintiff and friends attacked the car that defendant, friend, and driven by friend's mother, were in.    Plaintiff claims defendant had 15 people at the fight too.    Nasty defendant has to bring up that plaintiff was pregnant, and miscarried.  

Plaintiff claims defendant broke her phone.    Police report says defendant admits tossing the phone in the trash, and it's in the police report.     The grandmother of defendant claims defendant didn't break the phone, but JJ points out she took the police to the exact trash can where broken phone was.    Of course, the phone was an iPhone.   

(I have to say the litigants have the worst micro bladed eyebrows I’ve ever seen).

Plaintiff gets $699 for the phone.  

Alabama Landlord Shakedown-Plaintiff Liya Gonzalez suing former landlord/defendant Jasmine Horton for return of security deposit.   Defendant/landlord says there was a lot of damage, and improper notice of move out was given (15 days written notice required by lease).    Plaintiff signed the lease, and she lived in the single-family home with husband, and five children.   

Plaintiff's move out text was 5-days-notice, not 15 and written, and she didn't pay for the days covered by the lease terms.   Written lease has tenant notice crossed out, and 30 days was on the lease for landlord notice to tenant to leave.  The litigants won’t admit who did the crossing out, and change to 30-days for notice.     

Plaintiff asked for a walk through on move out, but landlord didn't come to do the inspection, and landlady claims she found damages later.    JJ's theory is landlady spent the security deposit.     As JJ says, declining to do the walk through cancelled any right to damages, because she had no way to prove when the damages happened, and landlord waived her rights.   

 Landlord didn't even bring a copy of the lease to court.   Defendant wasn't the owner of home, and rented it with her ex-husband, and never owned the home.   I wonder if she had the right to legally lease the house?   Defendant claims she sent the letter to plaintiff, but there is no proof.   Plaintiff offered to have a walk through, but defendant didn’t want one. 

Under Alabama law, landlords have to document damages in 30 days, and this didn't happen, so former tenant gets double the security deposit.

I bet the owner defendant was leasing from passed the damages along to defendant too, since she was leasing the house from the owner.

Plaintiff receives $2400.   (Double her security deposit).

Second (2017)-

Trip to Italy Fail-Plaintiff Rebeca Navarrete suing defendant / ex-boyfriend Mohammed Javid over a failed trip to Italy that never actually happened.       Plaintiff paid the $4,000 for the trip, but defendant paid nothing.  They had travel insurance, and defendant applied for, and received the almost $1200 refund, and kept all of it.    The litigants’ mutual child got sick, so they cancelled.    Plaintiff brought no proof that she paid her credit card off for the trip (for tickets for both litigants, and their child).     The trip insurance is to pay off what they paid for the trip, so plaintiff has to get proof she paid the credit card off.    

Defendant says he would pay the car payments for plaintiff, in lieu of paying plaintiff for the trip, or giving her the trip refund.    (No, it doesn't make sense to me either).    Plaintiff submits the paid bill for the trip.    Plaintiff received a refund from Priceline for the airline. 

Brother of defendant pays him in cash, so defendant can't have his wages garnished.   JJ advised plaintiff to tell the IRS about brother paying defendant under the table, and not doing withholding.   Plaintiff receives no child support from loser deadbeat defendant. 

$1144 to plaintiff.  

Super Bowl Overtime Controversy-Plaintiffs  Kristina McLaren and boyfriend Gabriel Luera suing defendants, Linda Sipes  and Terry Kessenich her friend over non-payment of a Super Bowl pool, that plaintiff won at the end of the 4th quarter.   However, defendant says because it went into overtime, that she doesn't owe the plaintiff the money.     The way it works, each participant buys a possible score from a list, and the closest to that wins the pool.     The lottery receipt has the score for the end of 4th quarter, but, defendant wanted to pay for the overtime score.    Receipt for pool entry doesn't say 'final' score, just end of 4th quarter.   Each square was $100, and there were 100 squares, which equals $10,000.     Defendant's witness was the overtime score winner of $4,000.    There are payouts at the end of each quarter.   

Plaintiffs received $100 for the score at the end of the 4th quarter. 

$2,000 to plaintiff, because the pool rules said nothing about overtime (apparently this was the first overtime game in Super Bowl history).

Racial Profiling? -Plaintiff Don Coner suing defendants/cousin Frederick Coner and girlfriend  Rutjai “Sparkle” Sinerurat  for unpaid bail.   Plaintiff says he was pulled over, and it was racial profiling because his car has big rims.  However, his car radio was very loud according to cousin Frederick, and was driving erratically.   (I’m sorry, but “Sparkle” is the least sparkly person I’ve seen in a long time)

Defendant got arrested for a warrant he didn’t know anything about, claiming it was a bad check written by his ex-wife, and that was dismissed.   All of this happened in California.  Defendant Sparkle keeps interrupting, and gets told to sit down, she’s told one more interruption and she’s out.   

Plaintiff claims when Frederick got arrested that plaintiff should call Sparkle, and his aunt, Sparkle Western Unioned  $200 for bail, and so plaintiff bailed defendant out.

Defendant didn’t pay any of the bail, blames his arrest on the plaintiff drawing attention to them.  Defendant has been arrested, and bailed out before.  

$800 is left to pay the bondsman, so Frederick paid $200, and Sparkle paid $200.  

JJ is so funny in this case, she says plaintiff didn’t get any fun from defendant’s ex, so why should he pay her bills?    Plaintiff confirms he wasn't having any ‘pleasure’ from defendant cousin’s ex-wife. 

Plaintiff gets $1115.

Roommate Rebel (2014) -Plaintiff/former tenant Alek "A.J." Robbins suing defendant/former roommate Jessica  Haney for his rent back.   Plaintiff gave February rent to defendant to pay, they had a dust up over parking, and plaintiff wanted his rent back.  Plaintiff case dismissed.  Contract was $450 a month rent each, and 30 day-notice to move.     Plaintiff did not give 30 days notice, so he loses his case. 

Defendant is counter claiming for plaintiff holding her against her will.   Defendant says plaintiff forcibly took her to the bank, and tried to get his money back that way.  Defendant says when plaintiff was moving out, she wanted him to move the truck so she could get out of their way, and he wanted to follow defendant to the bank to get his $450 back. 

 Then, defendant was on her cell phone, while driving to the bank, and the police showed up.   Defendant said that plaintiff held her against her will, and intimidated her, and tried to force her to give him his money back.   Defendant’s story is she was blocked in by plaintiff and his brother, and she called the Sheriff from her car, and she was on the phone with Sheriff's officers all the way to the bank.   

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant case dismissed (no police report, or charges filed). 

Second (2014)-

Hiring and Firing in America -Plaintiff/motherRecbecca McDaniel Travis McDaniel is suing defendant/son for an unpaid loan to buy a car.  Defendant and wife have seven children.  Defendant claims mother wrongfully terminated him, so he’s counter claiming, and the car was gift.     Defendant witness is his wife Amy McDaniel.    Plaintiff started the bakery for her children to have jobs, and a future.   

Plaintiff says defendant threatened to burn the bakery, and her house to the ground, after she terminated him.   Son was given a $40 a week raise to help pay for the car loan, but it was not a gift according to the mother.   Check to son is marked “Loan”.    Son paid $20, one time, and two months later son refused to pay the loan.    There are 12 bakery employees including son, his wife, another relative, and mother, plus others.     At the end of August plaintiff fired the defendant, after he got mad at her, and he threatened to burn down the bakery, and her house, and broke her cane, and wouldn’t let her leave his home.  So, plaintiff fired him.

Defendant claims mother gave him $2,500 for a car.    Defendant claims his brother-in-law was given a Tahoe to get to and from work.   Defendant says his mother fired him after verbally, and physically abusing him, and without notice.   Pennsylvania is an at will state, so plaintiff didn’t have to even give him a reason to fire him.   

Defendant says plaintiff lost a previous case at the Labor Board.   He claims because the incident where he abused his mother happened at his house, that he couldn’t be fired.  So, when plaintiff told defendant he was fired, he threatened to burn down her house, and bakery, broke her cane she depends on for assistance. 

I believe everything the plaintiff said about her ungrateful son, and his despicable behavior, and threats.

Plaintiff gets $1,138 for the loan. 

Eviction Conviction -Plaintiff/former tenant Marques Johnson suing defendant/landlady Laurie Bershin, claims he paid her two month’s rent, security deposit, and he wants it rent, security, and property back.    Defendant was renting a house, and renting rooms out.    Defendant’s lease says only two adults could be in rental house, and plaintiff made a third roommate, and therefore, renting to him was illegal.   

Plaintiff was paying $400 for a bunk bed in the living room, and the other roommate had her own bedroom for $700 a month, defendant occupied the other bedroom.   House is only a 2 bedroom.

$200 was the security, $400 a month rent for two months, and all were paid by plaintiff.   

This was already heard by the housing court, and defendant lost.  JJ sees the eviction paperwork, for plaintiff’s case.   Defendant already evicted the other roommate for nonpayment, and lied that plaintiff hadn’t paid his rent, but he did.   So, defendant lied to housing court about plaintiff not paying rent, and security.

Defendant’s countersuit is dismissed for lying to the courts, JJ’s and housing court.

Plaintiff will get both month’s rent, and security back, $1,000.

First (2017)-

The Great Slot Machine Heist-Plaintiff Joshua Pritchard is suing his fiance's brother-in-Law/defendant Mathew Abrahamson for lost wages, harassment, and stalking.   

When JJ asks plaintiff's witness, Molly  , his fiance/girlfriend,  and sister of defendant’s wife, if she's sick, she starts crying in court.   Defendant assaulted plaintiff after he led sister-in-law (plaintiff's witness) down a bad path, and after defendant saw plaintiff on his home security camera stealing his slot machine money (plaintiff owns two slot machines).   

Plaintiff girlfriend lives off of food stamps/EBT, and other welfare.    Plaintiff is trying to get disability from a congenital back condition.   

JJ asks the plaintiff's fiance how she's doing, both fiances are unemployed, living with a family friend, get food stamps.     Plaintiff complains because of the defendant, that he can't work at the casino any longer.  (That claim is funny, because plaintiff got the restraining order first, and then got the casino job, and he knew that defendant came to the casino often).   

Defendant's wife Tasha Abrahamson,  (sister of plaintiff witness), and son Aiden Nolan are in court.  Son testifies that he saw plaintiff pull into the driveway at father's (defendant's) house.   Defendant son and witness Aiden Nolan, came home from school, climbed in the window (he didn't realize there was a spare key), and leaving home he saw plaintiff's car pull up to defendant's home.   Plaintiff was allowed to come in home to pick up food, and then slot machine money was gone too.  

Defendant called plaintiffs about his missing money.   Sister-in-law Molly, admitted fiance/plaintiff took the money.   Defendant broke a bathroom door in, and confronted plaintiff.  Plaintiff claims his fiance/witness took the money.    That's when defendant assaulted the plaintiff, who got an order of protection.     

Plaintiff claims defendant consistently violates the protective order by defendant going to the casino he worked at, so plaintiff quit working at the casino.      Plaintiff got the job working at the casino after the assault, knowing defendant would be coming in to gamble.   Plaintiff hasn't held a job more than two months at a time, only one job for four months.   (My guess, he works long enough to qualify for unemployment).  This all happened in Hinckley, MN.

Plaintiff claims PTSD from assault, and is applying for disability from a congenital back problem, and says he has difficulty leaving his home after the assault.  However, after this is when plaintiff got the job at the casino the defendant goes to at least twice a month.     I wonder if his PTSD extends to bathrooms, since that is where the assault happened?     

Plaintiff's claims of harassment boil down to "he looked at me funny" at the casino.    There is a police report, but the video is missing.    Plaintiff couldn’t get the video from the casino.  

Defendant got probation and a fine, and that’s all finished now. 

Plaintiff’s stupid case is dismissed. 

Second (2017)-

Don't Be a Selfish Parent-Plaintiff/mother Brittany Butler of child doesn't want defendant/father of child Brent Jubin around their child, so she denies visitation whenever she feels like it.  Plaintiff suing for the cost of tires, an alignment, and her belongings. $1081.   Litigants have a child together.   Plaintiff says the car costs that she's suing for were for defendant's car.   Defendant let plaintiff live in his home while he was in Army training, and plaintiff borrowed defendant's car.  Defendant filed a case for visitation, but no DNA test yet.    (The plaintiff's hair looked like I cut it, not a good look).   

Plaintiff doesn't work, but is a SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Two) to the baby, and her 3-year-old child.   Plaintiff thinks the custody, and visitation is up to her.    Defendant dropped the items plaintiff wants back, at her house on his way to PT (Army physical training), about 5 a.m.  (Sadly, I used to live near the base and city where this happened, and it's a very common story.)  

In the Hall-terview defendant says there is a photo of plaintiff crushing and using pills in his car, and claims she got the tires purchased by a friend in return for sexual favors. 

Case dismissed. 

Paint Job or Scam Job-Plaintiff Jalen Coats paid defendants Bradley McCulloch and wife Erin Cole to paint her house.   Agreement was pay $800, and also give defendant a Craftsman lawn tractor, and three attachments, and mow her lawn for six months.   Erin Cole was the business part of the operation, so only Bradley McCulloch is still a defendant. 

However, plaintiff only paid the $800, didn't give him the lawn tractor and attachments, and refused to pay more for extra paint.   Defendant needed more paint, and either had to buy more paint himself, because she wouldn't buy any paint, or quit.    Defendant walked when plaintiff told him to leave, after painting about half of walls on the house interior.     Plaintiff hired someone to finish the paint job.   

However, plaintiff claims work was substandard.   

Case is dismissed.

First (2014)-

Comatose Mother, Criminal Son  -Plaintiff /mother Sheila Lincoln suing defendant/son Andrew Webb for stealing her car, damaging her car, and claims he stole her money while she was in the hospital.   Son denies he ripped off his ailing mother, and son says he didn’t take her car, damage her car,  or steal her money.  (This happened in Rosamond, CA)

Son was living with mother before she went to the hospital. Son and mother also lived with his grandmother.      He was her paid caretaker before she went in the hospital, about $200 a month.   Mother had a settlement from a drug company, $6000, for her damages from taking their medication.   Mother is still getting arrearages from son’s father’s child support, she’s been on disability for 12 years.   Her bank statement was actually $2525, which was received after mother left hospital, and son had already moved out.     Son now lives with his uncle Mark McCarley.    When son moved to Uncle Mark’s he had to walk, because plaintiff’s witness had the car.   

Plaintiff’s withdrawals were all made after she went home from the hospital, when son had moved out. 

Brian Muro, is plaintiff’s witness, and neighbor.   He testifies that plaintiff’s car was junked, and blames it on son.  Plaintiff and witness say car damages were from defendant blowing the car engine.  However, witness picked up the car, and drove it to his house, so car was operational then. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, because it’s ridiculous.   

Fresh Mouth Take Down! – Plaintiff Jessica Reyes suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Andrew Gile for loans for car repairs, and parts.  Defendant is counter suing for return of property, including a limited-edition hookah pipe.    Defendant says she only paid for a couple of car parts, not the labor or other repairs.   Plaintiff has a lot of car repair shop costs, and says are all for the defendant’s car.

When JJ says defendant isn’t listening to her, he wises off and says she’s not listening to him either.

I have to say, defendant’s hairstyle is awful.

JJ boots defendant.

Plaintiff gets her money, and defendant gets the Officer Byrd boot.

Second (2014)-

Military Kick Out! – Plaintiff Janna Paris is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend and child’s father Antonio Jackson for half of a house down payment $3500, home improvement costs.   She says he used her $3500 for a down payments, and defendant bought a home with her money when she was away in military training. House was only in his name.    Purchase was in April 2012, when plaintiff was in Virginia in training.   Total house cost was $65,000, and down payment was 3% and all of the down payment came from plaintiff.

Then, after they argued, defendant tossed her out of the house, and kept the house. 

Plaintiff says house was supposed to be in both of their names, but it was only in defendant’s name. 

Defendant wants money for a TV plaintiff broke.  Plaintiff admits the TV broke, but claims it was from defendant throwing her against it.

JJ says the eviction of plaintiff was illegal. 

$3500 to plaintiff. 

Ex-Fiance Assault Charges -Plaintiff Krystal Ruggiero suing defendant/ex-fiance for an unpaid car loan, and for an assault six months ago, rupturing her eardrum. and she wants to be paid for a play station. (Queensbury, NY)

Car loan was for a car that was put in plaintiff’s name, and that car was sold, and second car was put in defendant’s name, and he put $400 down, and $250 a month.  First car was a trade-in for the second car, while they lived together, so that’s dismissed.

There was a burglary at their apartment, and plaintiff wants to be paid for her $1,000 insurance deductible.  

Plaintiff wants medical bills, and pain and suffering for assault by defendant.   Plaintiff claims the assault ruptured her eardrum. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2017)-

Anger Mismanagement-Plaintiff Rosalyn Jones (Sainted Single Mother of Five-SSMOF) suing defendant former friend Latona Lazard for vandalizing her car, tow fees, and the return of belongings.   From the case preview I can see the plaintiff witness is a smart aleck.   

Plaintiff met defendant at anger management, and mental health classes, and defendant allowed plaintiff and five kids to move into defendant's house.   On the day of move in, the plaintiff's five kids were taken away by CPS (The kids are with her sister).   Plaintiff’s witness is her best friend Aaron, he’s also accused of breaking into defendant’s home

Plaintiff claims even before move-in, defendant broke plaintiff's car window.  Plaintiff says she left the defendant's home, but wanted her clothes back.   Plaintiff claims defendant had roaches in her house, and plaintiff can't deal with that.   Plaintiff went to defendant's house at almost noon, after a funeral party, and the plaintiff witness broke into the defendant's house.   

Plaintiff says defendant only let her move in to get a full time babysitter, and take her kids to and from school.

Plaintiff witness says door wasn't locked, but stuck, and witness got into defendant's home.  You can imagine JJ's answer when witness says he loves her.    Defendant shows pictures of the screen door being ripped open, and the inside door is damaged (defendant rents the house), inside door frame is smashed, from being broken by plaintiff witness.     For some reason, plaintiff witness wasn't arrested for burglary, and breaking into the home.   

Plaintiff says defendant came out of the house naked, and carrying a stick.   Plaintiff says defendant broke her car windows, and they left.   This was when defendant was 9 months pregnant too, and carrying a knife.  This is defendant’s sixth child.

Defendant picks up the narrative at the start of the burglary, and JJ is hinting defendant should shut up.   As JJ says, conspiring to break in to someone's home is a crime, and next time she'll get jail time. 

JJ gives plaintiff five days to pick up her items with a police escort, or they will be trashed.   Plaintiff gets nothing for her car window.   

Defendant gets $300 for her screen door. 

Ex-Con Hook-Up Hijinx-Plaintiff Nicole Graham suing defendant/ex-con ex-boyfriend Matthew Rowe for unpaid loans.  (after looking at the defendant's hideous prison tattoos, I have to think the normal looking plaintiff is desperate, and not worried about ending up the subject of a ID channel story about her murder.   She was also endangering her two-year-old twins).    What the hell was the plaintiff thinking?    

Defendant's counter claim is dismissed, since his allegations that he lost his job because of plaintiff, and his parole officer was mean to him, can't be proven because the ex-boss, and parole officer aren't in court to testify.     

Defendant also says he was living with plaintiff, and that turns out to be that he stayed the night, and was told to be gone before plaintiff's parents came to her place.    Plaintiff has two-year-old twins, and her mother was coming over to baby sit.   

Defendant did give plaintiff $1400, but claims the loans were actually gifts.    Plaintiff claims she gave defendant $2100 for a Mercedes SUV, but he only repaid $1400, still owes $700.   Plaintiff paid $241 to the dentist.  (I bet the ever hunky and protective Officer Byrd wasn't playing a crossword puzzle during this case).   Plaintiff got an emergency restraining order, and permanent order case is pending.  

Plaintiff gets $1141 back, and that's it. 

Second (2017)-

Vacation Disaster-Plaintiff Mark Cremieux is suing defendants/ex-girlfriend Megan Crystal and her mother, Peggy Herbert for an unpaid loan to take a vacation, Plaintiff claims he loaned defendant $5,000 for the vacation, but defendant claims it was his part of a family vacation to Disney World.    Defendant says there was no talk of repayment.   Litigants, and her daughter lived in plaintiff's house. 

Plaintiff says defendant never worked, and her only income was food stamps.    Defendant says she was working at housekeeping, and babysitting during this time.    Disney World trip was defendant, her two adult daughters, a friend, and grandchildren, and plaintiff went too.    Trip was $13,000, and plaintiff gave her $5,000, or loaned her $5,000.     Defendant says she bought the plaintiff's air ticket, wardrobe, and other expenses from the $5,000, and spent almost $3,000 out of the money on him.     

Plaintiff is not getting the money back, because he went on the trip.      Defendant also not getting her counter claim paid.   

New Franchise Owner Upset-Plaintiff Tamara Williams suing cousin Josiah Johnson for the cost of a plane ticket to Utah.  Plaintiff purchased a franchise (tile, carpet cleaning business), and part of the requirement is franchise owner, and employees had to go to Utah (from Massachusetts) for training, and plaintiff paid for defendant's plane ticket.    Plaintiff has no employees, made no money so far.    (Defendant is a disabled war veteran, but only receives Social Security Disability, with a payee). 

Defendant claims he wasn't supposed to pay for his own airline ticket.   Defendant had a medical emergency, and cancelled the trip the day before the departure.  Defendant claims he went to the hospital.   

However, plaintiff claims defendant wasn't sick, and didn't go to the hospital.  Plaintiff claims defendant's sister said he didn't go to the hospital.   Plaintiff is told to provide proof that defendant agreed to go to the training in Utah, and pay for his own airline ticket.     

Defendant counter claim dismissed.  He wanted to be paid back for uniforms he bought for the business, but has no receipts, or other proof.  

Plaintiff receives $850 for the airline ticket, because defendant did say in text he will talk about payment.

First (2014)-

Jilted Lover or Loony Roommate? -Plaintiff /former roommate David Isgur suing defendant/former roommate Roya Radafshar over an assault by defendant, a false allegation against him of assault, and destroying plaintiff’s property.  The new apartment had three bedrooms.  The plan was the two women (Defendant and her sister Daria), would share a room, and then plaintiff would have one room, and rent the third bedroom out.    They were also lovers, but only for a few days, until the big, physical fight happened.  Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted him, destroyed his property, and filed false assault charges against him.   

Plaintiff paid $666 for his share of the rent, but after he moved in, they had a few days of a fling, five days later the bad stuff started.   A neighbor came to the door about a plumbing leak, plaintiff heard a thumping noise upstairs, and it was defendant slamming his phone against the wall.   Plaintiff claims defendant never let him unpack, but took over his room, and then she had the jealous rage involving the phone slamming, and assault.

JJ tells defendant she’s lying to JJ, and JJ believes the plaintiff’s story.    Defendant claims some ex sent a naughty text to the plaintiff.    Defense witness, Daria Radafshar (defendant’s sister and roommate),  gets booted by JJ, and escorted by Officer Byrd.   I think the booted witness was the third roommate that was buddies with defendant.

Plaintiff says he went to a friend’s house after the phone slamming, but defendant kept texting and calling him to come back.   After the assault against plaintiff, defendant then filed a report of assault against the plaintiff, but claims she never filed for a protective order.

Then plaintiff claims after this, he kept ignoring defendant’s calls and texts, but when he finally came back to their apartment to get his property out, she was naked on his bed.   Defendant claims to have one photo of her bruise.  This is when the assault on plaintiff by defendant happened.   Plaintiff says she destroyed a lot of his clothes, much was missing.  Plaintiff’s witness Austin Hughes, saw defendant and sister Daria taking plaintiff’s TV, burning plaintiff’s hat, stealing a coin collection, and other items that belonged to plaintiff.

(I was naughty and searched the defendant’s rather unique name.   I totally believe plaintiff and what he says after the search results). 

Plaintiff filed for a protective order, for three years, and after a hearing, and he received it.  

$1,000 to plaintiff.

Second (2014)-

Tijuana Crowbar Payback! -Plaintiff Abdiel Flores Torres Jr suing defendant Salomon Gomez for damaging his car with a crowbar, $1101.    Litigants just happened to show up at the same place, about a month before the crowbar incident.   The two men, and their various friends were in Tijuana at a club, and defendant got jumped by plaintiff’s friends.    Then, after the fight defendant and friends were going to leave the club, but defendant claims plaintiff and 15 friends jumped them.   Defendant claims plaintiff and his posse followed them to the car, and threw a rock that broke his car window.   They went to Mexico because legal drinking age there is 18.  Is JJ kidding?   She asked defendant why he didn’t file police charges against the others in Mexico?  

Then a month later, the litigants met up, and defendant says he doesn’t know how they ended up at the same place.   Plaintiff was selling a car on Facebook, someone set up an appointment about the car, and the fight that’s subject of the case happened.   Then, a girl called plaintiff to ask to see the car, and when plaintiff showed up for the meeting, defendant and his buddies were there instead, at the 7-Eleven.   Then, the confrontation starts, and someone took a crowbar to plaintiff’s car.

Defendant claims the plaintiff’s car damages were payback for the defendant’s assault before.

$350 to plaintiff for car damages.

Dog Eat Dog -Plaintiff Erin Wilson suing defendant/former soccer teammate  Kate Cashman over a dog attack, and wants vet bills paid.   Defendant claims it was mutual combat, and not her fault.  Defendant claims both dogs were leashed, but plaintiff says defendant was cited by animal control for an off-leash animal. 

The soccer game just ended, plaintiff’s dog was clipped to her soccer bag, when defendant’s Shiba Inu bit the plaintiff’s  Silky Terrier mix.   Plaintiff took her dog to the doggy ER, and she wants her vet bills paid.   Defendant claims her dog was leashed, but her boyfriend paid the off-leash citation.

Plaintiff says defendant paid part of the bill.

$230 remaining to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

Puppy Mill Advocacy Gone Wrong-Plaintiff photographer Jeri Larrow is suing defendants Amy Mahalko and mother Kathy Mahalko  for posting photos of defendant’s son without photographer’s permission.   Plaintiff did a photo shoot of defendant's grandson for free, so she could use the photos for promoting her photography business.  Then, defendant Amy Mahalko, had a cow over the fact that plaintiff did exactly what she said she would with the photo.    

 Then, defendant used the photos (copyright is the photographer/plaintiff's) herself for some anti-puppy mill campaign, with the photographer's logo on it, so people can assume that photographer is in line with the advocacy the grandmother put on it.    Then, grandmother posted the same advocacy statement, and picture without the logo on her own Facebook page. 

Defendant daughter claims that she never received any free photos, in return for the photo shoot. (On a rotten personal note, grandmother and daughter are both butt ugly, inside and out.   Also, daughter's dress had big purple beads on the neck and chest, and that's hideous too.  Grandmother has a bunch of beads too, how tacky.  Apparently love of dark purple everything is a family trait in defendant's family).   Daughter of defendant had a previous paid, family photo shoot with the photographer.  

At the time of the court case, the photo without the logo/watermark, and advocacy statement is still up all over the internet.  

Grandmother made a big boo-boo trying to school JJ on Illinois law on photography.   

Also, since the photos are all over the internet with the advocacy statement, then plaintiff can't use them for her business.  As JJ points out, the defendant daughter probably planned the photo theft all along.  The alterations the defendant made to the photo rendered it useless for the promotion.   

Defendants ridiculous counter claim is dismissed. 

Plaintiff receives $500 for defendants' transgressions, and $30 for the session. 

Then, the hall-terview is hysterically bizarre.   The defendant mother and grandmother say that not having the photos available will kill defendant's son, and grandson, who is autistic.   This is, because he won't be able to see the photographer, and grandson gets attached to people.   The hall-terview was the best part of the case. 

$530 to plaintiff.  

Say No to the Dress...and the Married Man-Plaintiff Jessica Rogers  suing her former fiance/defendant Glenn LaCourse, for the cost of a wedding dress, and a bounced check for $750.  He gave her a check, and it bounced.     I don’t see the charm of defendant.  

By the way, plaintiff is a SSMOF (Sainted Single Mother of Five), and her intended Prince Charming is still married to someone else.    Plaintiff is still making payments on her wedding dress, and what a desperate fool she is.   Plaintiff made loans to married defendant/fiance, and the one check defendant gave plaintiff bounced.  The check from defendant is one of those phony internet scam checks. 

JJ tells fool plaintiff to stop paying for wedding dress, because defendant is still married (by the way, no refunds on wedding dresses).    Defendant's check is an internet check, from someone he doesn't know, and he claims plaintiff volunteered to cash it.   (Nasty personal question, Does defendant have any teeth?   I don't think so).     Also, defendant claims plaintiff would visit him without an invitation.   

The ridiculous sobs from plaintiff over her lost loser married boyfriend are ridiculous.   (If I am ever this stupid and desperate, I expect one of you to come to my home, and slap some sense back into me)

$750 to plaintiff for the bounced check, and everything else dismissed.   (I've had it with the desperate people who throw money at some loser.   I wouldn't have given plaintiff a penny.)

Second (2017)-

Mean Girls Stage an Intervention-Plaintiffs Victoria Mesheimer, Stephanie Torres (assault victim) , and Lauren Caputo (three roommates) suing their former roommate/defendant Nikolette Manna for five month’s unpaid rent.   Defendant plead guilty to the assault, and one defendant has a restraining order against defendant.     This case ended in an assault, an arrest, and a plea bargain.   

The four litigants were apartment college roommates, and two months later the three plaintiffs did an 'intervention' on defendant who they said was drinking, drugging, and partying too much, and not cleaning apartment enough.         Plaintiffs say it was an intervention in their sworn statement to court, but now they say it was just a conversation.   

 The three loons did their 'intervention', and claim defendant shoved one plaintiff off of her chair, after plaintiff cursed at defendant.    Police were called, and two were arrested, and defendant took a plea deal, so defendant's counter claim for lawyer fees, etc., is dismissed.   (Defendant is not the brightest either). 

Defendant's mother Kim Manna says the plea deal, and guilty plea wasn't a guilty plea, and yes it is.   Plaintiff that was assaulted, received a restraining order against defendant after the guilty plea.    Defendant moved out, and didn't come back.   Plaintiff withdrew the protective order, so plaintiffs could get their five month’s rent (if the restraining order was in place, the defendant couldn't move back, and wouldn't owe rent).     So, plaintiff coven of b-$*%&$# want the five month’s rent, because technically defendant could have moved back in. As JJ says, nice try, but it won't work. 

Plaintiffs' and defendant's cases dismissed. (Defendant says "nice try" to three plaintiffs after the dismissal). 

TV Takes a Fall-Plaintiff Lia Stewart suing defendant/ former co-worker Michael Blanchard for a broken television, and damaged wall.    Defendant mounted the TV, and then plaintiff wanted TV moved, and defendant did that.  The first time the TV stayed on the wall, after the move, four days later the TV fell.   With the inadequate number and type of screws he used, (he's not a pro at this) I'm not surprised TV fell.    Actually, after seeing the number of screws used to mount the TV, I'm shocked the TV stayed on the wall at all.   If you want the TV to stay on the wall, get a professional.   Or get a TV stand with a mount attached, so you don't damage walls.    

Plaintiff has no proof that she bought TV, the price, or anything else.   Case recalled to see if plaintiff can get evidence.    Plaintiff's receipt says TV was $439, and totals $700 with the mount.     Defendant says TV stayed on wall for a year.   I wouldn’t have given plaintiff a dime, the TV supposedly stayed on the wall for a year.  That’s what you get for hiring an amateur to do a professional job.

Plaintiff gets $717 for TV, mount, repair of wall, and installation by defendant.

Also, since the photos are all over the internet with the advocacy statement, then plaintiff can't use them for her business.  As JJ points out, the defendant daughter probably planned the photo theft all along.  The alterations the defendant made to the photo rendered it useless for the promotion.   

Defendants ridiculous counter claim is dismissed. 

Plaintiff receives $500 for defendants' transgressions, and $30 for the session. 

Then, the hall-terview is hysterically bizarre.   The defendant mother and grandmother say that not having the photos available will kill defendant's son, and grandson, who is autistic.   This is, because he won't be able to see the photographer, and grandson gets attached to people.   

$530 to plaintiff.  

 

I missed the hall-tervview.  Those women were delusional!

Sick Child or Crash Scam? -Plaintiff Agnieska Jasak suing defendant Christopher Schuster for rear ending her car.    Plaintiff had a baby with a fever, and claims defendant hit her without warning.   However, defendant says she cut him off, says she swerved right in front of him, he had no way to avoid her, and then she didn’t want to call the police.    Plaintiff was picking her child up from the child’s grandfather’s house.   

Plaintiff is vague on timeline.   She wasn’t that worried, after grocery shopping she went dress shopping, leaving the groceries in the car, picked up the baby.  This happened on 12 Mile Road, near Detroit.  Plaintiff claims something hit her car, claims she saw the defendant pass her, and she followed him.  When he pulled over, she wanted his paperwork.   They called his mother, and she read the drivers license number, car didn’t have liability insurance. 

Estimates are $916 for her car repairs.     Plaintiff isn’t answering what JJ is asking, so it’s either bad editing or shifty plaintiff. 

Defendant says plaintiff was driving below 35 mph speed limit, and driving erratically, when he went to pass plaintiff, she hit her brakes, swerved in front of him, and cars collided. (Sounds remarkably like the swoop and squat accidents that were scams, often involving an accomplice in another car, but it can work with one car just like this one did.  I’m very suspicious)  

Breann Lehre, defendant’s witness and girlfriend, was a passenger.  Defendant stopped by the side of the highway, not on a side street.  

JJ believes the defendant and his witness, not plaintiff.

Plaintiff case dismissed.   Defendant actually says Thank You, to JJ.

Too Much Information! -Plaintiff Deborah Conway suing defendant Robin Varner for return of a security deposit for an apartment.    Plaintiff went to look at the apartment, claims it was damaged, and she still wrote an $850 check for the deposit the next day.    Plaintiff’s witness is a jerk, keeps claiming defendant’s apartment was illegal.    Plaintiff’s TMI is that she found the apartment through her boyfriend, when she was cheating on her husband.   So, affair partner, and apartment locator are the same person’s job description. 

Defendant says plaintiff wrote the deposit the day after she showed her the apartment, but then backed out, and wants her $850 back.   Plaintiff claims a relative died, she is very ill, needs surgeries, and other excuses why she shouldn’t be held to the apartment deposit.  

There was no written and signed lease yet, defendant accepted the $850 check, and eight days later plaintiff wanted her money back.   Defendant didn’t re-rent the apartment, is selling the furniture, and wants 12 months of lease payments.   Defendant made a common mistake with the receipt book, it’s an older style with carbon paper, or maybe carbonless, and didn’t put a shield between pages, so the receipts are out of order.

Defendant says plaintiff didn’t want the furnishings, and so she got rid of the furniture.  Plaintiff’s witness won’t shut up.   JJ tosses plaintiff witness, I guess he’s the boyfriend?  Plot twist, defendant says the plaintiff witness is the husband.    JJ says defendant should have given a deposit slip saying non-refundable on it.

Plaintiff gets her $850 security deposit back.

Second (2014)-

Man Held Hostage? -Plaintiff Jimmie Murphy suing defendants Todd and Darla Ducoing (neighbors) for damaging his fence, and falsely claiming he falsely imprisoned the defendant husband, and defamation and attorney costs.    The litigants live about a mile apart, plaintiff claims defendant husband damaged his fence, and falsely accused plaintiff of falsely imprisoning defendant husband.      Police report submitted.   Plaintiff says someone damaged his fence by mowing the HOA greenbelt section.    Plaintiff claims he saw defendant hit and take down some of his fence, but it’s not reported in the police report, or in the sworn statement to the court.     Plaintiff got the president of the HOA’s address, defendant wife is the HOA president.  Plaintiff went to the defendants’ house, told husband about the fence and mowing accident.    Defendant husband went into the back, latched gate to plaintiff’s back yard, and showed him the damages to his fence.  Plaintiff says defendant husband said he wouldn’t tell the wife about the damages, wouldn’t pay for the damages, and wanted to leave.  Plaintiff walked through the gate, latched the gate, and wouldn’t let defendant out, so police were called again.  This happened in Lockbuie, Colorado (it’s in Weld County).

Defendant’s statement says that gate latched, locking him in the back fence, and plaintiff refused to open the gate.   Plaintiff blames everything on ‘bumbling police actions’.     Police report says Todd the defendant had a red mark on his nose, and plaintiff was blocking the gate so defendant couldn’t open the gate and leave.

Plaintiff case dismissed because he’s a jerk.    Why do I suspect that the plaintiff will never leave the defendants alone? 

Defendants spent $1200 to defend themselves against plaintiff’s court case against the defendants.   Plaintiff sued the defendants personally, instead of the HOA, and that hasn’t gone to court yet. 

JJ tells the defendants to come back after the court case is settled, and get total attorney’s fees then.

Teenagers Gang-Up -Plaintiff Jackie Hanson (woman) suing defendant Cate Sheets for her portion of an apartment lease.    There were four roommates, the litigants, and two others.    However, plaintiff told defendant to leave, and then wants unpaid rent.   Plaintiff witnesses include her boyfriend, and the other two roommates.  Both litigants were on the lease.   Plaintiff still lived in the apartment with the two other roommates, and never replaced defendant.    

Plaintiff and her despicable roommates didn’t like the people defendant associated with.

JJ dismisses the plaintiff’s ridiculous case.

First (2017)-

Ex-Boyfriend's Attack Caught on Video?!-Plaintiff Daniel Guevara  alleges assault (one of the best examples of over-acting and flopping since the last World Cup) by ex-boyfriend/defendant George Scott, and wants money for a dispute over a horse trailer.    Plaintiff and defendant were in a relationship for several years, and both were involved with horse, and jointly purchased a trailer, and truck to pull it.   Both went in on the down payment, but plaintiff claims he made the monthly payments.   Someone took over the truck payments, so that's ended.    However, trailer was to be paid to defendant at $800 a month, and plaintiff wants his $5,000 back he paid, because of the interest rate the trailer originally cost $10k, and still has $9k left on the note.  

The litigants never married.    Trailer is in defendant's name, so JJ suggests they sell the trailer, and if they make anything over $9k, they split it.  Plaintiff will not get $5,000 in payments back.    This is where the video of the 'assault' is submitted, to support plaintiff's claims about assault.   Plaintiff bought another trailer, and his payments will be considered as rent.    

The two litigants had a horse business, and both still are involved in horse training and showing.     

Plaintiff filed for a restraining order, supported by the pathetic video.   Restraining order application is submitted by the defendant.    Plaintiff is such a liar.    Plaintiff never received an order of protection from judge, it was dismissed with prejudice, after testimony, and a hearing.   Plaintiff says ‘assault’ resulted in a torn bicep muscle, and a cadaver implant will have to happen.

JJ says the video is a set up, and I agree.  

Defendant wants money for attorney’s fees, a false restraining order application, and other garbage.

Case is dismissed for both litigants. 

Don't Act Like a Baby!-Plaintiff Nathaniel Turner suing ex-roommate/defendant Elizabeth Hovey for unpaid rent. Litigants rented a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, and plaintiff still lives in the apartment with another roommate.

Defendant didn't pay for October $275, and $475 full rent for September.   Defendant also moved her boyfriend in, and boyfriend wasn't on the lease, and never paid rent either.   Plaintiff wants his $750 rent back.   

Defendant claims she was forced to move into the apartment, and sign a lease.  Defendant claims the plaintiff moved in a day early, and it surprised her.   She also claims plaintiff paid the rent without telling her.   Defendant signed the lease.   

How adorable (yes, it’s sarcastic) defendant and boyfriend have matching outfits, hair styles, and neither pays their bills apparently.

Plaintiff receives $775 for the rent. 

Failed Engagement Fallout-Plaintiff Matthew Angelich suing defendant/ex-fiance Sondra Johnson for return of money paid for a car, and a wedding ring.   Each litigant put down half on the car, $1600 each, and they broke up a year later, and defendant kept the car.      Each person bought a wedding band, and each still has their own, and JJ said to sell them.    

The two litigants paid $1600 each for the 17-year-old car, drove it for a year, and JJ says to sell it, and split the proceeds.

Second (2017)-

Beer Pong Gone Wrong-Plaintiff Amanda Filbrandt suing defendants/former roommates, April Huddleston, and Diana Clement, both 18, for damaged property, unpaid bills, and return of rent (living in a rented house).    Plaintiff was on lease, when boyfriend moved out, he was removed from the lease, and both defendants were added to the lease.   

Plaintiff saw defendants' video of a party of underage people playing beer pong, brought home a Pit Bull, that was not house trained.  Dog was brought to the home without plaintiff's consent.    Lease had all three roommates on it, each paid $217 a month.    Over Christmas holidays, plaintiff was out of town for two weeks, plaintiff saw video of beer pong party, beer cans, and cigarette butts in the house, and lawn.   (JJ refused to go to her college kids' homes, or apartments because of the filth, and germs).     

There was a roommate agreement forbidding the dog, and parties without all roommates’ agreement.   Plaintiff says her dining room table finish was ruined by water damage, and table is cracked.    Defendants had a Yorkie with everyone's consent, but the incontinent Pit Bull was moved in without plaintiff's consent.   

Plaintiff had a right to move out because of defendants' breaking the roommate agreement.   Plaintiff receives her $217 security deposit back.  Table top is absolutely ruined.  Pit Bull chewed up plaintiff's coffee table. 

In mid-January plaintiff was moving out, and when she came back to get her stuff, she saw the total damage to her table.      Defendants gave dog back to the original owners in mid-January.    

Plaintiff receives $1,029.    

Woman Attacked During Beauty Treatment-Plaintiff Catrina Kaihe suing her hairdresser's roommate Kellie Hunter for medical bills, and lost wages from a dog attack.  Plaintiff went to defendant's house (her name is Aguilar) house for hair services,  and defendant's dog bit plaintiff.     (On a personal note, never go to a hairdresser that can't even do their own roots for court). 

Plaintiff says she was having foils put on, and dog ran into the room, and bit her twice on the hand.    Dog is a Rhodesian Ridgeback.   This was the first time plaintiff went to hairdresser's place for hair services, instead of defendant coming to the plaintiff's home.

Defendant witness doesn't want to mention that dog was let in by defendant, while she was helping get foils ready for plaintiff, and that's when the dog bite happened.   Defendant claims the plaintiff let the dog into the room herself, and was playing with the dog.  

Defendant witness was previously homeless, and still lives with defendant (the dog owner, and hairdresser).   Defense witness doesn't want to speak in court, because she's afraid of being kicked out by defendant.   

Plaintiff submits doctor's report, and medical bills.   Plaintiff received six stitches in her hand, and missed work for a week.   Plaintiff needs a better hairdresser too.  

$1,000 for plaintiff for medical bills, and lost wages.

Domestic Violence or Victimized Father? -Plaintiff/ex-boyfriend Jonathan Plasky suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Lori Gabb  for obtaining a false restraining order, and falsely claimed domestic violence and had him arrested.  Plaintiff was arrested for domestic violence.   The two litigants have a child together.    The litigants lived together, with her mother, plus defendant’s two older children by someone else.   Plaintiff and defendant’s mother argued, and plaintiff went to stay with a friend, and defendant told him she was breaking up with plaintiff.  

Defendant and mother put a chair under the front doorknob, so she claims she thought it was a burglar, and plaintiff broke in.  Defendant says plaintiff went back to their bedroom, and they slept until the next morning, he was packing up to move out, and defendant called police and claimed domestic violence against plaintiff, and filed for a protective order.   This was to keep the mutual infant from plaintiff’s custody.  

JJ asks defendant if she ever filed against the other two fathers of her older children, for restraining orders to get self-help to get exclusive possession of the residence, and sole custody of the children. 

Plaintiff doesn’t even need to testify. Plaintiff was a legal resident of the house.  Plaintiff can only see his son with supervised visitation after this all happened.

Plaintiff receives $1500 for attorney’s fees, JJ would have given him more.    

Pedestrian Meets Hood of Car -Plaintiff/injured pedestrian April Hart suing defendant /driver Teandre Cooksie-Jackson over a him hitting her with his car in a crosswalk.  Plaintiff had substantial hospital bills.  Defendant claims the plaintiff was at fault, and wants car damages.    Defendant didn’t have insurance at the time of the accident.

Police report says it was raining, but plaintiff says it started to rain after she was hit.  Defendant claims plaintiff stepped into traffic, and darted in front of him.   Plaintiff says she was in the crosswalk, and was in the middle when defendant hit her.   Plaintiff ended up on the hood of defendant’s car, and he wants $2,000 for the damages. 

If defendant had insurance, the plaintiff’s medical bills would have been paid for.   Defendant claims he can’t drive now, JJ doesn’t believe him, and I don’t either.

$5,000 to plaintiff.  Defendant’s ridiculous claim dismissed, and he still says it’s plaintiff’s fault.

Second (2014)-

Ditched Car -Plaintiffs car owner Stephanie Ferrari and driver Tyler Ferrai are suing defendants /former friends, (boyfriend) Timothy Reid and his girlfriend,  Nacasia Gullingsrud for taking plaintiff’s car without permission, and claim defendant girlfriend wrecked the car.    Plaintiffs sold car after accident for $1500, and car was a gift from plaintiff’s grandmother, a 12-year-old Toyota Corolla.    Plaintiff Tyler and the two defendants took plaintiff’s friend Matthew to his Army base.  

Defendant Tim says Tyler gave him the keys, weather was bad, and he claims Tyler crawled into the front seat, hit his elbow, and car went out of control and went off the road.   (This happened near Hibbing, MN). 

Defendant Nacasia claims Tyler was in the car, but Tyler says she wasn’t in the car.   She says she knew nothing about the accident until Tim gave her the tow ticket after the accident.   Tyler claims the defendants were going to drive Nacasia’s car.

Nacasia claims Tyler initially told her mother she was driving, and only claimed Tim was driving when mother wanted to fix the Corolla. 

The plaintiffs bought a Nissan Altima a week later.   Plaintiffs want more money, even though the didn’t fix the Corolla, but sold it for $1500.  A text from defendant Nacasia says she knows about the damages, but can’t afford to pay, so she assumed responsibility.   Nacasia now claims Tyler wasn’t in the car.

Plaintiff case dismissed, defendant case dismissed.   The TV and tires cancel each other out.

Mother/Son Feud -Plaintiff/mother Leslie Valente suing defendant/son Jeremy Ferguson for the cost of tires, and unpaid rent when he lived with her for six months.    Rent claim is dismissed, they had no contract, and she never tried to evict him.  Defendant says tires weren’t a loan, but from his grandmother’s trust, and he never agreed to pay her back.  (This happened in Utah)

Defendant says plaintiff stole his TV, and sold it for $600.   Defendant claims plaintiff told him to move out, and if he took the TV she would call the police, and claim he stole the TV from her. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, she had no expectation of rent or repayment.   

Race Car RIP Tribute -Plaintiff Mary Harward suing defendant   Justin Goodman for payment for the shell of a car she gave to her late boyfriend Anthony.   Anthony wanted to turn car into a race car, but he died first.   After Anthony was killed, plaintiff sold the car shell to defendant.

When Anthony died, his next of kin were his parents, not plaintiff, and she had no right of inheritance.   So, getting rid of the shell was up to the parents.    

After Anthony died, plaintiff sold shell to defendant for $350, but it wasn’t her property.  Since Anthony’s relatives aren’t in court to testify, car wasn’t plaintiff’s to sell.   Defendant says he paid plaintiff $100.  Plaintiff brought her new boyfriend to court with her, how tacky.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Spaniel Mixed Blessings-Plaintiff  Christine Galvan is suing defendants/former friend, Trina Cruse and daughter, Jamaica Cruse, for the return of their dog, or some amount of money from defendants and daughter. Defendants have had the dog for ten months.  

Plaintiffs Christine Galvan, husband Jamie Galvan, and five children, and dog, were evicted by the previous landlord (It says evicted in the sworn statement by plaintiff wife).    Defendants had the dog for a weekend before the eviction.  Plaintiff boarded the dog (for 6 weeks, at $15 a day, and boarding bill was paid), and then dog went to defendants.   Defendants took the dog after the kennel, and say dog was matted, nails over grown, and needed a lot of vet care after the boarding kennel.   Plaintiffs only had the dog for a month before the eviction, and dog boarding.        

Defendant mother (Trina Cruse) asked if she could borrow the dog for a little while for experience for her daughter (Jamaica Cruse) studying animal behavior.    After plaintiffs were evicted, and dog boarded, then defendants took care of the dog for months.   

Defendant says boarding kennel was just an older lady who kept the dog at her home for six weeks.     Then plaintiffs came to the defendant's block party, never even visited with the dog, and left the dog at defendant's home.   

Months later, plaintiff then claimed she wanted the dog, but never even came to visit or pick up dog, this happened over many months.   Plaintiffs moved into a new townhouse, and claims the homeless shelter they were in before the town house allowed pets.  Does any homeless shelter actually allow dogs?

 JJ tells plaintiffs to get another dog, and leave the dog with the defendants.    Plaintiff wife keeps laughing.    JJ tells plaintiffs to get another dog, and I hope they didn't.   

Dodger, the adorable dog never even glances at the plaintiffs.    Plaintiffs had the dog for about a month, but defendants have had the dog for 10 months now.

The plaintiff husband keeps blasting JJ in the hall, saying she has no heart.  Sorry, plaintiff jerk, JJ has more heart than the plaintiffs.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  (My guess is the plaintiffs wanted the money, not the dog.)  Defendants keep the dog.  

Choking Scare at Day Care-Plaintiff Jennifer Westfield suing defendant/day care provider Christina Tinzley-Williams for medical bills, expenses, and punitive damages.   Plaintiff's child had a sticker in his mouth, and then, plaintiff came to day care, saw the sticker situation, and took child for medical care. 

Baby went to ER on the first day, and says baby had fever five days after the sticker removal.  Nothing on the medical report links the sticker removal to the fever five days later.     

Plaintiff gets $200 for the ER visit.  

Second (2017)-

Family Living in Car Seeks Driveway Rental-Plaintiff Jinky Montiel is suing defendant homeowner Kimberly Neal for illegal eviction, damaged property, and harassment.    Plaintiff was homeless, wanted to rent the driveway at defendant's home, for her, and her three children to live in plaintiff's car in the defendant's driveway.   Defendant instead rented a bedroom to plaintiff and her two daughters, and the son.   JJ has Officer Byrd escort plaintiff's 16-year-old daughter out of the court, however, well rehearsed witness daughter still spouts what Mommy Jinky taught her to say on her way out of court.     Plaintiff says the son lived elsewhere, and she lived with the two daughters in defendant's home.  

Plaintiff says she was unlawfully evicted, claims defendant vandalized her property, and harassed her.   Defendant says the argument leading to eviction was that she refused to allow plaintiff's married boyfriend to come to defendant's home.   

Plaintiff wanted to rent the driveway to live in with kids, in her car.     $4400 a month was plaintiff's worker's comp.   Plaintiff says she was homeless because she had to pay for the two cars, and couldn't afford the rent on top of that.   Plus, plaintiff was paying for the two cars (her car and the son’s), cell phones, etc.  Plaintiff had two cars, so college son could drive two daughters to school.  Plaintiff, and two children lived with defendant.    Plaintiff moved from Arizona, to California a few years ago.  

Room was rented for $700 a month (price was $600 plus utilities).    Plaintiff claimed she paid for the third month's rent, and defendant started sending her mean texts.    Defendant claims plaintiff didn't pay for the third month's rent, and when she asked for the rent, plaintiff got mad, and moved out.   

Defendant says plaintiff was upset that she wouldn't let her married boyfriend come in the house.   So, calling plaintiff an adulterer is accurate by the defendant.   Then plaintiff and two kids moved out.   

Plaintiff gets nothing for unlawful eviction, because she left voluntarily, owing rent (plaintiff claims she paid $700 rent for the third month).    She's suing for damaged property she moved out of the defendant's home, and claims defendant broke her valuable property.     

This is the case where the plaintiff rented a U-Haul trailer, and loaded her stuff, but gave it to the mover who loaded the trailer for her.  Plaintiff claims she had no room left in her storage unit.    There is a video of the move out, with plaintiff and defendant arguing over proof of rent payments.   Plaintiff broke her own daughter's phone, when the girl wouldn't answer her as fast as she wanted her to.  

How much stuff did that woman cram into one bedroom with her two daughters?     

Mover cost $300, and gave him everything he loaded in the U-Haul for her. 

(Jinky Montiel, plaintiff, reminds me so much of a former co-worker, everything was a conspiracy with her too.     The caption says she's a registered nurse).  

I think the video of the move out, with defendant asking 'where's your receipt' is why JJ gave the $700 rent back to plaintiff.  However, who video tapes, and photographs someone loading her U-Haul, and then gives everything to the mover?   Plaintiff claims defendant broke her lamp, and claims plaintiff kept the broken lamp.     Plaintiff and daughters went to hotel, and kept switching hotels for a month.   Plaintiff claims her son still lived at defendant's house, but defendant says the son never lived with her.    

Defendant said plaintiff was a bad mother from leaving the two daughters alone for days, while plaintiff went to Vegas with her married boyfriend.    To me it sounds like plaintiff moved out, after paying the rent very late the last month. 

JJ dismisses the plaintiff's property damage claim.     JJ does give $700 to plaintiff, for the last month's rent. 

 I wouldn’t have given plaintiff a penny.   She was there part of the month, had several people living with her, and claims her son lived in the house (defendant denies the son ever lived there).   I think JJ just felt sorry for the kids, so she gave the money back to plaintiff.

Homeless and Happy -Plaintiff Barbara Borsodi 41 year-old plaintiff is knocked up by 20-year old defendant Harley Howell, and is suing defendant for half the cost of a washer and dryer, unpaid bills, and a broken lease.   Plaintiff claims she still has the washer / dryer, but defendant claims she returned the washer / dryer.    They met while homeless, slept rough, couch surfed.   Plaintiff says they were waiting for her to inherit her late father’s house, his 401k, and other money.   Plaintiff claims to have congestive heart failure, two back surgeries, a shoulder injury, and is on disability.    The other three of plaintiff’s children are the same age or older than defendant.

Plaintiff claims it was true love, they were going to be together forever.   She claims he came to her, said he would be her man, and they would be together forever.    Plaintiff claims defendant used her. 

The crocodile tears from plaintiff are despicable.   They were 40 and 19 when they first hooked up, and moved in together. 

Defendant is now working as a deli clerk.   Plaintiff also says defendant will never get to see their child.   What a B-word.

As JJ says, 10 million saw her acknowledge paternity to defendant.  

I had absolutely No SYMPATHY for that woman--getting knocked up by a kid her 18yr. old son is.  Did she REALLY think this teenager would step up from the sandbox and become a father?  Maybe when his acne cleared up and he gets a job at the local WaWa

Car Fraud? -Plaintiff Gloria Magana suing defendant/car seller Faris Tayeb for trying to give her a phony smog certificate for the car she bought from him. Defendant bought car from some online source, and two weeks later resold it to plaintiff.  Plaintiff wants a refund, but car was ‘as is .

Who pays $3,000 for a 1998 Corolla? It was 16-years-old.   Defendant bought an Avalon, and sold Corolla to plaintiff.   Defendant didn’t even try to register the car, but resold it shortly after buying the car.  Defendant claims car smogged, and passed.

Plaintiff claims engine blew, and also claims the smog certificate was a phony. 

Smog certificate is valid, car was ‘as is’, and plaintiff loses her case.

Party Bus: Party Foul! -Plaintiff/party bus owner Christopher Staggs suing defendant /bus renter Ricardo Buffington for damages to party bus rented by defendant, after a night of heavy drinking.    Defendant is only 20 years-old, not old enough to legally drink.  Defendant and his mother also demanded that a party goer needed to be  ejected from the bus about midnight.  

Defendant claims the out-of-control guest brought her own alcohol.   Drunk guest was underage, girl was a friend of a friend, but she was invited by the defendant, and she was ejected from the bus at 2:30 a.m., and left to walk home.   Defendant mother sees nothing wrong with that.  Defendant claims everyone but him was over 21.  

Bus driver says drunk girl threw a bottle on the bus, at the direction of defendant mother told driver to eject the girl in the street.  Defendant mother Athena Rivera, who was also drinking, sees nothing wrong with throwing the girl off of the bus, far from home, drunk, and with no way to get home. 

Drunk girl left the bus, and witness Travis Negler (bus driver) says she threw a bottle that hit the back window and shattered it.

Plaintiff receives $1,540.   Defendant called stupid, care

Grand Theft Gamers! -Plaintiff Reginald Scott and Daija Logan suing defendant Carlos Lopez want money for a video game console, a PS4.   Plaintiffs paid $420 to get a PS4 from defendant, and claim they never received the system. Defendant says he stayed out all night to get a PS4 for plaintiff, found one, and claims plaintiff never contacted him, and so he finally sold the PS4.

Landlord Scammed? -Plaintiff/former tenants Whitney Turnbull and Samuel Robles are suing defendant/former landlord Fred Kaczmarek for the return of their security deposit.  $1645 was security, and defendant wants $864 to pay for damages.   

The pictures at move out aren’t bad damages, minor stuff.   Defendant denies their dog chewed anything.   Previous minor dog damages were fixed before signing the third lease, and defendant agreed they were done properly after a mutual walk through.   There are texts from defendant saying the damage repairs between lease year 2 and year 3, that damage repair was acceptable.

When JJ tells defendant not to use “basically”, he agrees, and then uses “basically” in every single sentence, multiple times.   I hate the defendant for that.

Defendant claims the walk through was not to resign the year 3 lease, but a move out walk-through, and then plaintiff woman changed her mind and they decided to stay and resign the lease.

Text messages say defendant let plaintiffs out of the lease, and defendant claims there was domestic violence.  Right after resigning the lease for year 3, defendant let plaintiffs leave early.

Security back to plaintiffs $1650, defendant case dismissed.  

Injured Pleasure Horse -Plaintiff/buyer Lori Harl and daughter Jessica Hickman suing defendant/seller Ladonna Hulsey over the health of a horse plaintiff bought for the mother.  

Horse was purchased in Tehachapi, CA. and defendant had three horses.   Plaintiff claims horse was lame and wants her money back.   Before purchase, plaintiff daughter rode horse in the round pen for a while, never has a vet check on any horse she’s purchased. 

 Judith Harniman, plaintiff’s witness, was another boarder at the boarding stable defendant keeps her horses at.   Plaintiff witness rode horse before the sale, because she was planning to buy the same horse.   Plaintiff witness arranged for a vet check on the horse, and pre-purchase exam (PPE), and after vet said horse had a failed exam on one leg, plaintiff witness passed. Plaintiff witness says she talked to vet who explained the horse’s conditions.  

 As always, buyer says horse is unsuitable, and seller says horse was fine until after the sale to plaintiff.

Defendant had three other horses, but sold the horse the case is about the quickest.   (This isn’t uncommon, you may buy a horse to get it away from a bad owner, or because you think it might work out for a specific mode of riding, but for a variety of reasons, horse isn’t a match for you, and you don’t develop a working relationship, so you sell the horse to someone else).  

JJ thinks defendant knew horse was defective, and still sold it, but plaintiffs didn’t have a vet check the horse.  Plaintiffs claims horse trips, but have they had his hooves redone?  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Stay Out of Big Limos Lady!-Plaintiff/limo company owner John Mosby suing former limo drivers Lalo and Kay Lynn Landres for damages to his limo.  Plaintiff has a limo company, and owns 14 limousines.    Plaintiff claims defendant had three separate accidents that were her fault.   JJ doesn't like the employment contract where limo drivers are responsible for the insurance deductible, if the accident is the driver's fault. 

Defendant wife damaged three limos, so she owed $3,000 in deductibles (two were on the same day).    Plaintiff tried to deduct the $3,000 from husband plaintiff's salary, after he fired the wife, and that's not legal.      I absolutely believe the wife had all three accidents, and they were all her fault.     

Defendant husband is counter suing for wrongful termination.  If this is California, it's an At Will state, so you can fire at any time, for any reason.  Many states are at will employment also.   Defendant was also counter claiming for future wages, didn't get that either. 

Plaintiff receives $ 612

Second (2017)-

Yorkie Struck and Killed-Plaintiffs Isaias and Ashley Sanchez, suing driver/defendant Brad Underwood, for hitting and killing their Yorkie.   Plaintiff brother Geronimo Sanchez was walking three dogs (plaintiff's Yorkie, and Boxer, and his own Jack Russell Terrier), and it is alleged that he was also on his cell phone.     Yorkie was on a retractable / flexy leash.    One other dog was on a leash, and the Jack Russell was on a flexy too.   Plaintiff claims Boxer was also hit, but not injured.   Plaintiff was walking the three dogs, and claims he waited on the sidewalk, then when he went into the street when the defendant hit the two dogs.    Plaintiff dog walker says he was barely off the left side curb, so he's claiming the defendant was on the wrong side of the street, and turning left.   

Defendant was pulling out of his driveway, and hadn't reached the stop sign yet, and was going to turn left after stopping.   Defendant's car hit the plaintiff walking across the corner, from behind the neighbor's parked car,  on the left side of the street corner, across the intersection.    Defendant's pictures show the neighbor's car parked on the corner where plaintiff crossed.    However, defendant didn't see the dogs coming out from behind the parked car.  Defendant claims plaintiff/dog walker was on his cell phone too.    The only vet bills are for the dog's cremation, and defendant paid the $159.    

Plaintiffs want the money to buy another Yorkie.   My question is how far out in the road was the Yorkie?    The defendant was on the right side of the road, and the dog walker crossed from the left side.   Plaintiff dog walker did admit he saw the defendant backing out of his driveway.  

(I bet the dog walker was walking diagonally across the street, from the SW corner, to the NE corner, and came out from behind the badly parked SUV of the neighbor.      

In my opinion, it was the plaintiff brother's fault, he was jaywalking, on his cell phone, and not paying attention.  They should have been buying their own replacement dog.   

Plaintiff receives $1200.

Playing House Nightmare-Plaintiff Noretha Martin, suing ex-fiance Eric Epps for car payments.    Litigants lived together for five years.   (What the hell is that fugly furry vest on the plaintiff?   It looks like she made her own out of road kill pelts).    Both litigants owned two cars, and both were bought on plaintiff's credit.    Defendant was supposed to make the payments, and he paid his own car off.   

Litigants had a big fight, after man was 'caught' doing something, but still lived together for one more month when defendant moved in with his next girlfriend.   Plaintiff started making payments on defendant's car, after car finance people threatened to repo defendant's car, which was on plaintiff's credit.   Defendant didn't pay for three months, and plaintiff called police, and she went to get the car, and took the plates.   Next day plaintiff had the key, and she drove it home.   

Plaintiff paid one month of payments, tried to refi the car ($14,000 owed), and couldn't.   (Defendant says plaintiff didn't want his new girlfriend in the car that was in her name).  Sorry, but plaintiff took the car back, so why should the defendant pay anything on the car?  Plaintiff also is whining because defendant didn't marry her.  

$5,000 to plaintiff, but her $14,000 car payment still is garnished from her wages, and she's still going to pay $8,000 plus interest.   Plaintiff didn't really win.

Rock-Throwing Child Testifies -Plaintiff/driver Richard Delgado Jr suing defendant Tammieka Jacobs for damages from defendant’s 8 year-old son Zakkai Jones (one of twins) for damaging his car throwing rocks.  Zakkai gets to sit in the witness chair of Justice, and talk to JJ.   Zakkai’s twin sister told him not to throw rocks.    (This happened Ocala, FL)

The twins were in the road, and Zakkai and cousin, also 8 years-old, were throwing rocks, sister told them to stop.   

Plaintiff was driving down the street, sees the twins by the road, but not the cousin.   Plaintiff says defendant mother denies it happened, denies her son did it.     Defendant mother says plaintiff was screaming and yelling at the twins, because the kids told her.  Defendant mother claims she was working and came to the door after a couple of minutes.   Defendant claims a piece of gravel must have been tossed up, and done the damages. 

JJ explains due to lack of adequate supervision of the children, the damage happened.   Since this happened in 2013, I guess the twins are 16 or 17 now.

$467to plaintiff.    

Porched Possessions -Plaintiff Sonya Lovejoy suing defendant /ex-boyfriend Randy Ward for loss of possessions, due to plaintiff putting items out on the covered porch.    When the two lived together, in the trailer, but when they broke up, they both moved, and items were stored in the trailer owned by defendant.   Plaintiff had already moved to Idaho, and defendant was selling the trailer, and he texted her to pick up her possessions by the following Monday.    Defendant put plaintiff’s stuff out on the back porch, and plaintiff says it was all ruined or gone.   This happened six months after they broke up.

JJ is so inconsistent about property that is left behind and someone is stuck with it being there for months at a time.   Stuff was there for six months, about 7 or 8 boxes, according to defendant.

Plaintiff says table and chairs were already outside.   She also claims a compound bow, bicycle, TV, jewelry collection, and boxes.     Plaintiff hired movers, and all of the stuff was gone.   JJ thinks the stuff was long gone before defendant claims he put it outside. 

I wouldn’t have given her a penny.  Who would leave all of that stuff behind for six months?  

Plaintiff gets $2000 for her stuff that she left behind for over six months. 

Second (2014)-

Taxing Friendship- Plaintiff Natoria Parks suing defendant Amber Hicks over unpaid tax preparation fees, and bank fees for a bounced check.   Plaintiff says defendant wrote her a check that was returned for insufficient funds.    Plaintiff is a tax preparer, and defendant was her client.  Counter claim is by defendant, who claims plaintiff used the routing number on the bounced check to pay plaintiff's credit card bill, and that was reversed.   Defendant wrote the check to plaintiff, and wanted plaintiff to wait 7 to 10 business days to cash the check.  

Plaintiff received the check on the 8th, and deposited the check on the 13th, only four business days.  Since plaintiff deposited the check after four days, the check bounced.  Then plaintiff used the routing number on the returned check to pay her tax preparation charges.   However, the bank reversed the credit charges. 

Plaintiff receives $240 for defendant's tax payment.     

Exes Fight Over Child’s Bed – Plaintiff Eric Smith suing defendant/ex-wife Charlotte Smith over the cost of a child's bed that he purchased for their son.   They are divorced, have 50/50 custody.   Plaintiff has another girlfriend now, but defendant claims when the litigants were shopping for the son's bed, that plaintiff wanted to reconcile with her.   Plaintiff put the bed cost $1450 on his credit card, and the defendant agreed to repay him.  

When defendant says that the litigants were reconciling, plaintiff is shaking his head.  (Plaintiff has a girlfriend, and has never wanted to reconcile with the defendant).   Plaintiff has a signed promissory note for the bed.    Defendant paid $350.

$1200 to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

Vandalized Office, Mudslinging Business Partner-Plaintiff Sharon Dent suing former business partner Angel Canady-Larry, at Global Tax & Business Solutions, for vandalizing her office, and stealing her employee files.  They were in business for five years.   Litigants were in a tax business together, and each want $5k from each other.     

The defendant was in charge of check writing for the business, and paid herself $13,025.   The checks were to cover rent for a property she owned with her husband.  Instead of paying the office assistant (a plaintiff witness), the defendant paid the assistant's rent from the business accounts.   

Plaintiff fired defendant after defendant's husband was accused of sexual harassment in the business office, victim is plaintiff's witness, and defendant was told her husband wasn't to come into the office.   

Graffiti in office reads "Angel" in several places, and that's the first name of the defendant (Angel Canady-Larry).   I do not believe there is any way that defendant and her husband weren't behind the graffiti.       Office had been cleared out, because plaintiff took the furniture out before the vandalism.   

Defendant is suing for her TIme-Warner Cable modem, and slander.    Defendant has a witness that says after defendant was fired, witness was called to meet with the plaintiff, and defendant, and told defendant was out of the office.    Defendant witness says she did her taxes with defendant, and then plaintiff called and said she needed to sign her taxes.   Witness said she had already filed, and didn't authorize the plaintiff to do her taxes.   The IRS should take away the authority of plaintiff's company to act as an agent for taxes.   

So, defendant and husband owned the apartment that plaintiff's witness lived in, and was paid for out of company funds, and she's also the one who claims defendant's husband harassed her.  

Both cases dismissed. 

Don't Believe Everything You Read Online-Plaintiff Travis Evans suing Christin Heath, mechanic for damaging his car, and return of his deposit.  Plaintiff bought a 2007 Saturn, that needed a new engine, and was towed to the defendant's shop.    Plaintiff found defendant through an ad on Facebook, and a recommendation from his aunt.    The deposit to the mechanic was $1200 in December, and car was picked up six weeks later, and had to be towed home.  Defendant also lost his mechanic's shop during January.     Plaintiff claims nothing was done to his vehicle over the six weeks, except many parts were disconnected, and placed inside the car.  Why didn't plaintiff get a mobile detailer to clean his car seats? 

Plaintiff has unhelpful estimates.  Plaintiff receives $1200 deposit back.

Second (2017)-

Harley Handshake Deal-Plaintiff Scott Coates suing motorcycle sellers, Preston Clay and his wife Denise Robinson Clay, for return of his deposit on a Harley, and the cost to get bike running again.   $14,500 was the purchase price, and the price was $2000 down, and a kitchen remodel for the defendants.   JJ says verbal contract was completed, with an offer, an acceptance, and exchange of property, however contract wasn't finished.   Plaintiff did do some work on planning the kitchen, with elevations, and prints of cabinets that were prepared for the defendant's kitchen.   

Plaintiff wanted to borrow bike for a weekend trip, had the bike for three days after changing the starter.       Plaintiff returned bike, and defendant backed out of kitchen deal, and plaintiff claims defendant said he would give the deposit back.   Plaintiff says defendants didn't want to redo their kitchen, because they were going to move.    Defendant says he lives in the same house, and was never going to redo the kitchen.   Defendant says plaintiff wanted too much to redo the kitchen.

Plaintiff receives $2,000 deposit back.         Plaintiff gets nothing for the parts he put on the bike, because he used the bike for the 3 day trip. 

Rottweiler Puppy Death Drama-Plaintiff Yasnaya Lorick suing defendant/puppy breeder Elia Gomez for return of money paid for a Rottweiler puppy.   Plaintiff selected a puppy from photos.    Plaintiff put down money on the puppy (she put down 1/2, $600), but puppy died.     Defendant had 9 puppies, and 3 died, and she sold the other six puppies.    The defendant took the puppies to the vet in August, but three more died in October, and no vet care for the three that died.   Defendant claims she offered another puppy, but plaintiff didn't want that puppy.    Defendant claims the five puppies she sold were all fine, but there is no proof of that.   

The only "contract" was the text message exchanges between the litigants.   Defendant claims deposit wasn't refundable.     Defendant claims the deposit was only $200, not $600, then plaintiff husband gave her $392.    A week after tail docking, the puppy died.   I'm wondering who did the tail docking?  My guess it wasn't the vet, in spite of the fact defendant claims she has paperwork.     I wonder what killed the three puppies?   Defendant says infection, plaintiff says she suspects parvo. 

Plaintiff receives her $592 deposit back.

First (2014)-

Ugly Split/Smashed Truck -Plaintiff/soon-to-be ex-husband of defendant Cody Lowry suing defendant/soon-to-be ex-wife Brigitte Lowry for smashing his truck windows, and truck lights.    Divorce got worse when plaintiff Cody was found to be cohabiting with defendant’s sister.    After defendant and her three kids moved out, (one kid with Cody) she claims he trashed her truck.   It took plaintiff nine months to file for the truck damages.   

First assault by defendant resulted in a guilty plea, and conviction.    Second assault was an Alford plea, with 3-years probation for plaintiff. The second assault was after plaintiff was asked by defendant to come to the former family home to do yard work.   Home is owned by plaintiff, and plaintiff agreed to let the ex-wife and kids to stay in the house, which he owns.   Plaintiff claims the second assault was by defendant on him, and claims she hit him with a glass coffee pot.   Plaintiff says he had seven charges against him, so doing the Alford plea was a way to get everything to go away. 

Plaintiff claims the defendant asked him to come to the house, but defendant claims she didn’t call him.  JJ believes the defendant this time.

Plaintiff witness defendant’s her sister, who is shacking up with plaintiff, and sister throws defendant under the bus, and runs over her a few more times.   Chanel White, defendant’s sister, and plaintiff’s girlfriend, claims the defendant told her she did the truck damages, and claims her sister uses drugs, is mean, abusive, etc. 

JJ doesn’t believe the testimony of plaintiff’s witnesses.  Defendant says her sister is a liar, has drug charges pending, stole from their parents. But plaintiff has a text message from defendant the night before the truck was vandalized.

Plaintiff receives $2,100 for truck damages.

Second (2014)-

Babysitting Debacle -Plaintiff/babysitter Sierra Booth suing defendant Adam Hageman for unpaid babysitting fees, and emotional distress.   

This case was supposed to be heard the week before, but had to wait until plaintiff got out of jail for lying to a police officer about her identity.  Plaintiff was arrested for using an I.D. from someone else, to visit her boyfriend in jail.

Defendant says plaintiff violated his house rules while she was babysitting his children in his home, claims her boyfriend stole from the house, and she damaged his truck.

Defendant submits the police report about plaintiff’s boyfriend.   Missing items an iPod, cell phone,  Xbox, controllers, clothing, piggy bank money from kids, and other items. Defendant’s witness is his girlfriend, and went to the house to watch the kids, and make a list.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

Unwed Parents’ Bitter Breakup! -Plaintiff David Brown suing defendant Michelle Marek for a computer, and false arrest and restraining order, and return of property.   Litigants have a 14-year-old together.  They had an on and off again relationship for about 20 years total.

When plaintiff moved out, he claims defendant agreed to store his property, but says defendant won’t give his property back. 

This was two years ago he moved out, and that means his furniture and property case is dismissed.

Restraining order wasn’t served on plaintiff, but when he went to their daughter’s middle school graduation police escorted him out, but he was released after it was discovered that the restraining order was never served on plaintiff.

Defendant gave plaintiff a check for the daughter’s computer, did a stop payment, and so check bounced.

Plaintiff gets $366 for the check for the computer. Defendant’s ridiculous counter claim is dismissed.

Shoplifting Among Friends -Plaintiff Stephanie Razo suing defendant Taylor Peavy after both women were arrested for shoplifting.    Plaintiff blames the defendant for her arrest, but plaintiff took a plea, and paid a fine.  Plaintiff wants the defendant to pay her fines.   Then, plaintiff claims she bought a cell phone for defendant, after the shoplifting arrest, and JJ dismisses that (I’m so glad, I hate cell phone cases).

Plaintiff claims while defendant was holding her satchel for her, while plaintiff was in the fitting room, that defendant put stolen items in the purse.    Defendant says they both shoplifted. JJ is right, why would plaintiff still buy a cell phone for defendant and be friends if defendant did frame her for shoplifting?

Everything dismissed.

First (2017)-

Cousin Helping Cousin Catastrophe-Plaintiff/cousin Erica Vasquez moved in with defendant/cousin Ronnie Martinez. and is demanding her furniture back.   Plaintiff moved into cousin's place with her furniture, and she claims defendant won't give it back.  She claims she left a domestic violence situation.   Plaintiff suing for stealing her belongings, and filing a false police report against her. 

Cousin's witness (his girlfriend) says plaintiff didn't move in before her furniture was moved in. 

 Defendant says plaintiff moved a lot more furniture into his house than he agreed to.  Plaintiff moved in items from her storage unit, into the plaintiff's empty apartment.     Plaintiff wants bed, and couch back, car parts and rims, and defendant claims plaintiff gave him the couch.  Car parts are for remote controlled cars.    

Defendant says plaintiff moved her furniture in, and never slept there.  

Defendant says plaintiff never moved in, she just put her furniture in an empty apartment he either owned, or rented.   Plaintiff has five days to pick up bed and couch from defendant with a marshal's help.    

Plaintiff doesn't want her bed back, and wants the money instead, and she's not getting that.   

Plaintiff will get her couch back if she retrieves it in five days.   Restraining order case thrown out.  

Don't Run Away if You Did Nothing Wrong-Plaintiff /car owner Veronica Castillo (her daughter was driving) suing defendants/ car owner Berniceka Ellis, and driver Christopher Owens, over an automobile accident.   Plaintiff's daughter was driving, plaintiff's car.   Defendant's friend was driving defendant's car, and he fled the scene after the accident.   

Defendant driver says he went to get help, because he had no cell phone, and he was distraught.    Plus, he forgot his cell phone at home (no one in the audience with a cell phone, left it at home today, after JJ asks.   I'm not that cell phone dependent, but a month or so ago I went to the store without my phone, and felt lost).   Defendant was over a mile away when he contacted the car owner/defendant.  

Car owner defendant claims insurance company contacted defendant car owner.   However, police report says they contacted the defendant car owner, who claimed to the police that she sold the car to a stranger, and she had no way to contact him.  (Does defendant driver even have a valid license?  His eyes point two different directions, and I wonder if he can even focus). 

Defendant driver claims plaintiff ran a stop sign, but if that happened, plaintiff daughter/driver should have been cited by police.     Why would driver flee if it wasn't his fault?    Defendant car owner still has the title to the car.   Defendant car owner claims she was going to meet defendant, and exchange money, and the title.   Defendant used to date the defendant driver.

Plaintiff driver claims she stopped at stop sign, but plaintiff says defendant driver was driving at 9:30 p.m. with his headlights off.  Defendant driver hit the plaintiff car, knocked her off the road, and into someone's yard.    Then, when plaintiff driver and passenger went to check on other driver, he fled the scene at high speed.    Defendant driver was never contacted by police, because defendant car owner lied to them.   If the man stole her car, then why didn't she file a police report?   Defendants are such liars.    Defendant car owner used to date defendant driver, so her stories to police were a lie.

JJ doesn't believe plaintiff didn't run the stop sign.  Defendant claims he had automatic headlights.   Plaintiff car hit the defendant's passenger door.   (I hope the police saw this tape, and charged him with leaving the scene of an accident, no insurance, and anything else.   I hope they charged the plaintiff driver with running a stop sign too). 

Case dismissed.  

Second (2017)-

 Neighbor Nastiness Caught on Video-Plaintiff John Hefler suing defendant Michael Shorey over a dog bite.    Plaintiff saw, and videoed his neighbor walking his dog in the common area, and taking a German Shepherd size dump right next to the "clean up after your dog" sign.   When plaintiff was handing him a bag to clean up the poop, dog bit the plaintiff.     Plaintiff has seen the defendant leaving dog piles behind repeatedly, on the complex common area.   Defendant also grooms his GSD, leaves the giant mounds of hair to mess up the common area.  

Plaintiff and his daughter video, or take pictures of pet owners that abuse the common area of the condo complex.    The plaintiff's daughter took a video of the incident with the dog, and plaintiff.    Defendant didn't have a poop bag, and didn't care about the mess his dog leaves.  As JJ says, defendant is disrespecting his condo complex, and being a bad neighbor. 

Plaintiff is in law enforcement, and JJ tells him not to embroider his story.  (It says engineer under his name on the screen, so I wonder where the law enforcement part came from?  Or do they let people change professions on the show, for privacy?).    

Plaintiff receives $1000 for the medical bills.

First (2014)-

Texas Exes -Plaintiff Delaney Bannon suing defendant Katherine Ellington for a vet bill and vandalizing his car.  He’s suing for $2500 for a vet bill, and car damages, but this happened 9 months ago.   Defendant is giggling about the vet bill, and car damages.     Defendant’s dog ate rib bones, and defendant said she couldn’t afford the vet bills, and she was talking about putting the dog down, then plaintiff paid the bills.    

JJ asks defendant why her employers (she was nanny for five kids) didn’t pay the bill.   Then, plaintiff was assaulted by defendant, he was drunk, and he then went the next day to pick defendant up, she ripped the keys out of his ignition.   Then, JJ says plaintiff waited too long to come to court.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Drunk and Abusive -Plaintiff Antwone Williams suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Johanna Elton for not returning his belongings after she served him with a restraining order to get him out of the mutual home, and he wants his property back.   Defendant was only name on the lease, after plaintiff’s unfortunate incarceration.    Defendant has had three restraining orders against plaintiff, and the fourth one was after the argument when plaintiff left, and an order excluding him from the house.  

Defendant wants lock changing fees, unpaid rent (he’s not on the lease, so I bet she can forget that), and unpaid bills.

When defendant called police, she claims her convicted felon boyfriend left the home to avoid the police, and the police did nothing to help her.   (I doubt the police wouldn’t pursue an assault charge against a convicted felon).

Plaintiff gets some playstation thing back, $200 for the TV, and weights with the marshal’s help.   Defendant told to stuff her stupid claim.    

Repeat Offender Drug Bailout -Plaintiff Kailynn Messier suing defendant Molly Show for repayment of bail after defendant was busted for possession of Methamphetamines.    Defendant has been in jail twice in Vegas for traffic infractions.  Plaintiff paid $1015, and defendant only paid back $200. 

So, plaintiff is owed $815, and receives that.  (Personal note, defendant’s hair or wig or whatever it is, is hideous).

Second (2014)-

Drinking and Driving House Sitter -Plaintiff Deon Dionne suing defendant/former house sitter Paulino Cervantes   for car damages, house and furniture damages, and drank a lot of her wine.   Defendant claims he only drank two bottles of cheap wine, didn’t damage the house or furniture, and car wasn’t damaged by him.    Defendant claims since he was given keys to move car from one side of street to another, and he claims that was the same as permission to use the car.    Defendant claims he didn’t cause the car damages to bottom of door, right side of car, or bumper.   Plaintiff claims defendant told her the damages happened driving to and from Pomona.   

Estimate for car damages are $1401, but estimate was $2011, and that defendant paid her $700.  She wants money for a week’s car rental also.

Plaintiff says she had six to eight bottles of wine gone, and wine was spilled on the couch.  

Traffic Ticket Pile-Up! -Plaintiff Jaymi Algeo suing defendant Veronica Grimes for traffic tickets, and other damages from a car plaintiff was selling to a third party, who resold vehicle to defendant’s boyfriend, and then defendant was driving.   Plaintiff sold her car to another man, who didn’t reregister the car, and sold it to defendant’s boyfriend, and defendant was buying it.    Then, the notices from the traffic tickets started, and nine months later car still wasn’t registered in defendant’s name, and no insurance.   

Plaintiff couldn’t renew her own car registration because of the outstanding tickets.  Defendant is counter suing because plaintiff stole her car. 

Plaintiff was arrested for stealing her own car, when she took her car back from defendant.  Defendant had been driving car for 10 months, without insurance or registration.   Defendant says car was impounded as stolen and unregistered, and wants impound and damage fees, dismissed.   When defendant saw car was gone, she called police and reported it stolen, so plaintiff was arrested for stealing her own car. 

Tickets are up to $100 each. 

Plaintiff can’t get the car registered, $2500 to her.

Three’s a Crowd- Plaintiff Caroline Kindred suing defendants/ former roommates Jessica Ruth and Kayla McCarter for return of her entire security deposit.   Only the defendants signed the lease, but plaintiff’s father was on the lease as co-signer.    Plaintiff claims she never moved in, but some of her stuff was there, so she’s not getting her entire security deposit back.   There were 2 ½ bathrooms, and agreement was plaintiff would have her own bathroom, and when she found someone else’s stuff in the bathroom, plaintiff left after two days, but some of her stuff was at the apartment.  

Plaintiff paid $1050, $687 was her portion of the rent.   

$363 for her security only to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

Defibrillator Pawn Shop Shocker-Plaintiff/pawn shop owner Daniel Risis suing defendant Joseph Frazier for pawning stolen property.  Defendant took a plea on the theft charges too.   Defendant pawned 20 aviation headsets, and 9 defibrillators (theft of portable defibrillators is a big issue, endangering lives).  Defendant made restitution to the airport for the thefts.   

Police confiscated 4 defibrillators, and 20 head sets, and pawn broker wants his money back, but has no proof of the numbers confiscated.   (Interesting note, Daniel Risis owns 11 pawnshops, called Perfect Pawn in NJ, so I can imagine it is hard to keep up with the number of items taken by the police.   I bet the police don't keep up with their paperwork back to the pawn shop owner). 

Defendant claims the pawn shop called the police.  Plaintiff claims the police came by the stores, and confiscated the items.    Items weren't pawned, but bought out right by the pawn shops.    JJ is ticked the pawn shop didn't call police.  However, calling the police only works when a theft report was filed, and no one said that happened.   

However, I bet the police caught the thieving defendant, and he told them where he sold the property, then the police visited, and confiscated the items.   Defendant's witness just interrupted, and got the glare of death.  Plaintiff claims defendant said his late grandfather had airplanes, and that's where everything came from.   

(I don't like the pawn shop owner, but I doubt he bought anything from defendant himself, he owns way too many pawn shops for that to happen, but the defendant is a thief, and a jerk.    Why did I suspect the plea bargain was a real deal for the defendant, and he learned nothing about stealing). 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Mercedes-Benz Deal of the Century-Plaintiff Gerald Washington Jr is suing defendant Anthony Widner over the purchase of a 2008 Mercedes C300, plaintiff wants his money back.    Byrd's Blue Book 2011 says $11.200, but plaintiff paid $18,000 for the car.   Plaintiff paid the asking price of $18000 in 2011, and it was repossessed in 2018.    Defendant brought his own old Blue Book, saying the car value was $28000 in 2011.   

Plaintiff says the car title is fake.  Defendant claims it was $18k down, and plaintiff would make the payments remaining on the car ($6,000 plus interest up to now).    In 2011 plaintiff still owed $6,000, plus interest.  This would have given the plaintiff a $28k car, for $24k.  

Plaintiff claims the $18,000 car payment was complete, and that he didn't know about $6,000 remaining on the car loan.    The car title has the lien company misspelled on the title, and it has the defendant's home address as the car lien company.

JJ sends them back to local court, which since they live in separate states, mean plaintiff is SOL unless they want to file and pursue this in the other state.  

Second (2017)-

Frantic 911 Call or Frenzied Fight-Plaintiff Gina Nash suing defendant/ex-fiance Allen Mimes over a cancelled wedding, for $1100 for emotional distress.   Plaintiff claims emotional distress, moving costs, storage fees, and that defendant vandalized her car, which is memorialized on video.    Litigants were engaged, lived together, and when they split plaintiff moved to a smaller apartment, and wants moving expenses (not happening).    Plaintiff had defendant's stuff in her apartment, then put items in storage and gave defendant the key.   Storage for the month was $60, and is dismissed. 

Litigants had two vehicles, and plaintiff's car was in both names, and she claims defendant ripped the mirror off of her car.   This was because plaintiff claims On Star was locating her for the defendant, and when she had his name taken off of On Star, then the mirror ripping happened. 

What they should have done, was each car should have been signed over to one or the other litigant.    Defendant claims plaintiff damaged her own car.   Video of fight is shown, plaintiff looks like the aggressor to me, it wasn't just her car, but both litigant’s car.   The video does show hands reaching toward the mirror.    Defendant claims plaintiff lied about the damage, and they are both ridiculous.     

JJ tells defendant to sell the car.  Good luck getting full price to pay the loan off on defendant's car.    The next issue is the engagement ring, plaintiff claims defendant had it, and defendant claims plaintiff still has it.   Counter claim dismissed on engagement ring.

Defendant wants a bed frame, and office chair, but plaintiff has the receipts.    Claim dismissed.     Plaintiff claims for emotional distress is gone.  Moving costs, and storage fees are dismissed.    Engagement ring is dismissed.    Furniture and property damage dismissed.

Plaintiff says the counter claim was Fravulous, meaning frivolous.   

Everything dismissed.

Mutual Combat or Teen Bullying? – Plaintiff Cynthia and Tommy Haitcoat Jr (son Brody Haithcoat) suing defendants/ Michelle Sallens and Christopher Rogers(son Devyn Rogers) There is a video of the start of the argument that escalated into a fistfight.  Both litigants call each other bullies.   The parents are told to sit down, and sons testify.     Plaintiff claims defendant was in a group of boys who were talking about plaintiff.    Defendant claims it was mutual combat. 

On the first argument, a teacher intervened before punches were thrown. 

Second argument is a few days later, and that’s the one on video. Video shows the argument, and escalates to fistfight.   Another fight that started over taking plaintiff’s hat off.  Defendant claims the hat incident was a joke.   Defendant wearing the hat, then plaintiff grabbed his hat back and slapped defendant with the hat.   Defendant says he couldn’t fight, because defendant was on football team and would get kicked off the team for fighting.   They started shoving each other, and they agreed to meet later.  

Defendant and parents are counter suing for false charges, and harassment.

Plaintiff threw the first punch, and then it got messy.   Plaintiff’s eye damage looks horrible.   Plaintiff mother leaves the courtroom, she can’t watch the fight video. 

JJ doesn’t believe defendant is a bully, because he asked plaintiff if he was going to stop.   

The juvenile authorities got involved, both stories differed.   Defendant showed the probation officer the video, and so probation, after case was dismissed.   Both litigants were suspended.   This all happened two years before. 

JJ says it’s mutual combat, so both cases dismissed.   

The outcome of this case doesn’t matter.   My sympathies to Devyn’s family and friends.

Kid-to-Kid Combat! – Plaintiff/parents of 10-year-old, are David and Jolene Brown (son Aaron, 10-years-old) suing defendant/parent Eric Vara of 13-year-old (Ryan Vara) accused of attacking 10-year-old, and breaking the child’s arm.  Plaintiff, and two nine year olds, and an 8-year-old, were playing football in the front yard.   Defendant claims a kid about his size called him a wimp for riding too slow on his scooter, with friend Marquis.   So, defendant claims the kid that called him a wimp, threatened him with a weight, and told him to leave.    Then, defendant claims same kid grabbed a Swiffer mop handle. Defendant claims plaintiff jumped on defendant’s back, and throwing him off was how the plaintiff broke his arm.   Sorry, defendant is 13, and plaintiff was the oldest in the yard at 10, and much smaller than defendant son.  

Plaintiff had to have two surgeries on his arm.   His story is he was playing football with the three smaller kids, when defendant and friend were going up and down the street, put the scooters down, and walked onto plaintiff’s yard.   Cousin missed the catch, so defendant started insulting the plaintiff, and little kids.   Plaintiff claims the defendant and friend pushed two little kids down, and then defendant flipped the plaintiff over, and that’s when he broke his arm.   Plaintiff has to testify in the witness chair of Justice, and so does his little cousin.   (This happened in Round Rock, TX).

Defendant claims the kids were playing with sticks, but they were playing football.  

JJ says plaintiff little brother is too rehearsed.  Now defendant gets to lie to JJ from the chair of Justice, he’s lucky he wasn’t struck by lightning. Defendant is absolutely lying about how this happened. Defendant parents believe their lying son.

After the plaintiff 10-year-old’s arm was broken, the police were called.   Defendant ran away right after this happened.  Police report gives defendant’s ridiculous story, and his father still blames the little kid who was injured.   Defendant told police that 10-year-old threw the football at him, and attacked them with the mop handle and weight, and then all four kids attacked him. 

Plaintiff gets $5,000 for medical bills and pain and suffering.  Defendant father will never believe his rotten son lied.

Child Deprived of Food on Dad Day-Plaintiff Ronald Aragon suing his child's mother, defendant Alexandra Rosado, over her limits on visitation, for a false restraining order, and defamation.      Plaintiff claims a false restraining order petition filed by defendant was just to harass him.    Daughter was 18 months old when defendant moved in with her father.   Defendant lived with her father for one year, and no visitation with child's father happened. 

 Defendant claims to fear plaintiff, but never called police, or filed for a restraining order.   The only time plaintiff saw his daughter after almost a year, defendant says she 'let him' see his child, and that was the only time in a year plaintiff saw his child.     Plaintiff hasn't seen his daughter since the one meeting, and it was over a year before the child custody hearing, which resulted in joint custody. Judge's order was agreed on during mediation, and there was visitation on weekends for the father. 

Plaintiff went back to mediation to get more time for visitation with his child.  About a year later, defendant claims the baby came back from visitation and claimed no one fed her.   Daughter is now eight years old.    Defendant claims she tried to go to family court, but instead defendant filed for an emergency restraining order, and plaintiff hasn't seen child since.      Defendant never went for modified visitation.    Defendant claims plaintiff reported her to CPS.   At hearing judge took testimony, and defendant's case was dismissed. 

Application for protective order says plaintiff assaulted defendant, but there are no police reports, medical proof, or anything else to back that up.     Plaintiff gets child from school on Thursday, but he says defendant doesn't send the child to school on Thursdays.   Judge dismissed order of protection because the only testimony was defendant's claims, and that judge went back to the same visitation schedule (plaintiff is supposed to get daughter from Thursday afternoon, to Sunday afternoon).   

 Police would not take the child from mother for visitation.   Unfortunately, plaintiff made a mistake on when child wasn't in school, it was a different month.  (To make this shorter, the litigants lived together for 1 1/2 years, then defendant disappeared with child for a year, and has been fighting legal visitation ever since.   Then she tried to get a false protective order, instead of dealing with custody.   My guess, the 50/50 visitation means the defendant doesn't get child support, and that’s what she wants).  (My guess is this child has heard their whole life what a deadbeat her father is, and probably will never have a relationship with him). 

Plaintiff receives $2500 for the false protective order. 

Second (2017)-

What's a Broken Finger Between Brothers? -Plaintiff Wyatt Guzman suing his brother, Trevor Guzman over a broken finger.   They exchanged punches, and defendant broke plaintiff's finger, and plaintiff wants his medical bills paid.   What started this was the plaintiff was loaned some workout DVDs to defendant, and the DVDs would stay at parent's house.   For two months plaintiff claims defendant took the DVDs, instead of keeping them in parent's basement.   

Then in the middle of the night defendant came into plaintiff's room at night, punched the plaintiff.    Then the fight began again.   Plaintiff claims defendant spit in his face, defendant was kicked out of the house, and plaintiff realized his finger was broken, and displaced.  Apparently, plaintiff broke his finger punching defendant in the face.   (I'm sick of the two whiners, and would like to punch both of them in the face). 

JJ starts lightly hitting Officer Byrd's arm, but Byrd just ignores it.   Apparently, JJ has no future in the boxing ring.   

Plaintiff gets $1200 (half of the medical bills).  

Car Theft or Goodwill Donation-Plaintiff Kimberly Senate's mother died, and left a 2002 Chevy Cavalier (worth $625, in poor condition).   Plaintiff gave car to defendant Carolyn Frisk to donate to charity (P. lives in Alaska, and D. lives in Washington state, where mother lived).    Instead, of donating the car, defendant registered the car, and then was in an accident, and totaled the car.   Defendant received $3,000 from insurance for the car.   

Plaintiff claims defendant was driving the car without insurance.  However, JJ points out liability only on an old car is normal.  

Plaintiff receives $650 for the car value to donate

Calling the Cops on a Cop! -Plaintiff/former tenant and police officer Francine Briscoe suing defendant/former landlady Millie Huntley for filing false charges against plaintiff with internal affairs, and it was defamation.    Plaintiff says the investigations took a year, and everything was dismissed.    Tenant police officer says landlord filed false charges and defamed her character after she moved out of the house, in a ploy to get more money out of plaintiff.   Landlord only reported police officer to her boss after defendant wanted more money, and thought she could get more money to leave plaintiff alone.  Defendant wants $4900, in damages, but not until six months after plaintiff moved out.

After three years, plaintiff notified defendant that she wasn’t going to renew her lease, and move out.  Defendant claims plaintiff fraudulently transferred power bill back to landlady’s name a month before the end of the lease.    However, plaintiff’s brother also lived in the house, so it could have been brother, or anyone else that changed the address on the power bill.

Defendant gives JJ a letter from the police, but it doesn’t say plaintiff changed the account, but plaintiff paid the $98 to defendant to get the charge to go away.   $2100 was security deposit, and landlady didn’t use that for the power bill.   Defendant also claims two bounced rent checks, but she only complained over the phone, not in writing.    However, plaintiff paid the checks to the defendant, and landlady still took rent, but not personal checks.  

JJ has defendant’s email, she’s alleging all kinds of damages, but six months after plaintiff left the property.     The captions are wrong, defendant complained to internal affairs, not just plaintiff’s supervisor.   Defendant also threatened to file a complaint about worker’s comp about plaintiff’s bunion surgery.    Defendant also threatened to notify the national news shows, newspapers, etc.  about plaintiff’s issues.

Instead of suing for damages, defendant went to Internal Affairs.    Defendant made a lot of unfounded allegations, and JJ says it was to get $4900 from plaintiff, months after tenant moved out.  Then, defendant claims plaintiff’s girlfriend called her complaining, so I’m suspecting another reason to make false allegations.    Defendant made no allegations while plaintiff was a tenant, but only six months after plaintiff moved out.   

Plaintiff receives $5000.      Defendant case dismissed.

Second (2014)-

Teens in Tight Quarters! -Plaintiff/former roommate Jesse Waite suing defendants/former roommates Brianna Zumbrum and Daniel Ramirez, both side demanding property damages.  Plaintiff wants all remaining rent.       All three litigants are former high school friends, who moved in together, and are fighting over pets, girlfriends, and property damage.   Plaintiff moved his girlfriend and a Labrador in, and defendant Ramirez says both were irritating, and so he left.   There was one bathroom, attached to the bedroom, so everyone had to go through the bedroom to the bathroom. .   Defendants were sleeping in a bed in the living room.    Defendant woman moved out after plaintiff tried to fix defendant boyfriend up with some woman.  (This was in California).   

When defendant Brianna moved out, the two men decided to live there together, and up their rent payments by $200 each.   Plaintiff’s girlfriend moved in at least two full days a week.    Defendant Daniel says plaintiff’s girlfriend stayed over every week, for several days, and the dog moved in full time.   Then, plaintiff moved in a couch in the living room, and kept locking the bedroom door, so no bathroom access for defendant.   Case against defendant Brianna dismissed.   

Plaintiff wants the $1480 a month rent for the remaining months on the lease.  Defendant Ramirez has to pay half of rent for four months, the rest is on plaintiff.  Defendant paid pet deposit, one-third each $750 each.    

$2150 to plaintiff, for four months from defendant Ramirez.  

Tattooed Lip Infection! -Plaintiff/lip tattoo client  Elina Khutinaeva is suing defendant/cosmetologist               Kelli Ho, over a serious infection after a lip tattoo by defendant.   

A twist is that the plaintiff wanted her lip tattoo from a defendant who does eyelash extensions, not lip tattoos.      Plaintiff claims the defendant was injecting Novocaine, and that requires a nursing license, or other certification.   However, JJ says that’s hearsay.  

Plaintiff claims a few days after the procedure, she woke up with infected lips, but didn’t go to the doctor until 15 days after the procedure.    Doctor’s report says mild possible infection, and cold sores, and prescribed a mild ointment to help the problem. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

The Joy of Music...Murdered-Plaintiff/violin buyer Badra Saljooghi suing defendant/ violin teacher and seller Armen Movsessian over the cost of a violin, and violin classes.   Plaintiff bought a violin for $700 from defendant, and she says that it was over-priced, and she also wants teacher to refund money for lessons.  The teacher credited her for one lesson, and actually taught the second lesson until plaintiff got mad at defendant.   

Defendant bought the violin for $500 from a violin maker who sells on Ebay, and replaced the strings, and sold it to plaintiff for $700.   Plaintiff wants $700 back.  The plaintiff's case is ridiculous. 

 I don't know, but I'm guessing replacing a full set of strings, and the labor involved is probably close to $200.    (Why do I suspect that plaintiff found another violin, and it was cheaper, and she either wanted to get the full refund, and save money buying the cheaper one, or just give up the violin because she wasn't an instant expert). 

(The violin teacher appeared as a performer at several years of Yanni concerts and tours, and has been teaching for years.    He's very accomplished in his field apparently).

JJ gives the plaintiff the violin, and dismisses her case.

It Was Not an Engagement Ring-Plaintiff Terri Furgison suing ex-boyfriend Jerry Egger (yes, they were Terri and Jerry) for unpaid rent ($1600), money owed for other loans, and money for car repairs.  Plaintiff also wants engagement ring back from defendant, but she says it wasn't a proposal or engagement, because she's never getting married again. 

Ring cost $9,000, but woman claims it wasn't an engagement ring.  Plaintiff paid for defendant's truck repairs, in return for her driving the truck, but he moved out first, and truck went with him.      If it wasn't an engagement ring, then why is plaintiff suing her "ex-fiance". 

Defendant put $2700 down on the ring, and is still paying for it, even though he sold it (apparently still short on the payments remaining).  Defendant wants property back from plaintiff's home.    

Other loans, and the ring dismissed.   Defendant is still out of work, lost his job due to 'his stupidity', and is living in his truck, or sometimes with his mother's boyfriend.

Plaintiff will get the $1600 for rent, and defendant will get his property back if he picks it up in five days, with an escort. 

Second (2017)-

I Don’t Have the Rent…Take My Car! -Plaintiff Jacob Knott suing defendant/former roommate Jax Underwood for return of security deposit, first month’s rent, return of property, and breaking the lease.  Both signed the lease, but only plaintiff paid first month’s rent, and security deposit.    Defendant says he paid the plaintiff back for the rent and security by letting plaintiff using his car.   Plaintiff stayed to the end of the lease, and did receive part of the security deposit back, but says he doesn’t owe the defendant anything.

Plaintiff doesn’t have a list of damages from the landlord, and is told to go back to Missouri and file for the security there from the landlord ($600).  Plaintiff blames the landlord keeping security on defendant’s room damages, but has no proof.

Defendant owes for one month $300.   After defendant moved out, plaintiff was unable to replace him.  Plaintiff keeps complaining about the dog nailing the floor, but the dog was plaintiff’s dog.  (This happened in Missouri).   Also, defendant heard from friends that plaintiff had someone move into his old room.    Defendant also heard that plaintiff was making fun of him being transgender.

$300 to plaintiff for the one month’s rent.   

Defendant wants his couch and ottoman back, but waited too long, and his case was dismissed.

Who Stalked Who?!-Plaintiff Blyth Butler-Lopez and defendant Daniel Gaeta met online, never in person until the JJ case was taped, she’s suing him for stalking and harassment.   Plaintiff claims that defendant was stalking her, because he's facebook friends with her ex-husband,   Plaintiff says defendant was advertising for a law firm for clients, and plaintiff contacted the defendant online.   

Plaintiff claims she has proof of the stalking, and friendship between defendant, and plaintiff's ex-husband.   Plaintiff claims the defendant was friends of friends on FB, and claims her ex-husband, ex-brother-in-law, and some woman. was a friend of a FB friend.   Defendant counterclaims for plaintiff filing for a false restraining order against him, attorney fees, and then defendant had to drive seven hours each way to appear in court, but plaintiff didn’t show up.

Plaintiff claims she has a ten-year restraining order against the ex-husband, then claims it’s a three-year restraining order.   Plaintiff claims defendant admitted the friendship over the phone, but defendant denies that.  

Plaintiff filed for a restraining order, and defendant had to drive seven hours each way to the restraining order hearing, and plaintiff didn't even show up in court.   Defendant is counter suing for a false restraining order, attorney fees, and travel expenses to go to the restraining order hearing.  

Plaintiff's proof of stalking is that defendant received a speeding ticket a few blocks from her home. (No, I'm not kidding about any of this).

Plaintiff claims because ex-husband, ex-brother-in-law, and defendant are all facebook friends, and on the defendant's legal office web page, that defendant is stalking her. .   Dustin Gaeta had to take two days off of work, and drive seven hours each way to go to the hearing in San Francisco (that's where she lives), hire an attorney, and plaintiff never showed up in court.   

$5000 to defendant, and plaintiff gets nothing.  Plaintiff doubles down in the hall-terview, and defendant says he never contacted her.

First (2014)-

Brawling Brothers -Plaintiff/brother Derrick Clarke  suing defendant/brother Melvin Jackson for medical bills and lost wages after an assault. (We are not talking about teens, but middle aged men).    Both litigants claim the other was the aggressor, and this all happened at their mother’s house.   I love that both litigants are well dressed, not raving (not yet, but will be soon), but still sad it came to this.   Plaintiff was separated from wife, staying part time at girlfriend’s house, and mother’s house.   Plaintiff has two sons, not with wife or girlfriend.     This happened on Friday the 13th.  

The brothers have spats from time-to-time.   Now plaintiff is spouting off and interrupting.   In the previous fight 4 or 5 years ago, they got into a physical fight, and defendant claims plaintiff lost a few teeth, and had to go to the hospital, plaintiff denies this.      However, plaintiff says he was treated a year ago for the tooth issues, at the hospital, which defendant denies. 

Plaintiff broke up with girlfriend too, was rummaging in mother’s garage, and says brother was irritating him, and spitting, and trash talking, and fist fight began.    Plaintiff pushed defendant, and the fight was on.  Plaintiff is out of control in court now.   Plaintiff claims defendant punched him in the mouth.

Plaintiff case dismissed. I believe what defendant said about plaintiff, plaintiff is totally out of control.

Younger Lover Bailout -Plaintiff John Barycki suing defendant Rebecca Garibay  for unpaid loan to pay her rent, and emotional distress.   Much older plaintiff works in a refinery, and met defendant at a bar.  They became romantic, and he made a few loans that she paid back.    Defendant has a 2-year-old, and 7-year-old and plaintiff never stayed at her place with her kids.   Story for rent was defendant was in a dispute with her then landlord, she had to move, and he loaned her $2000, via money order, so she could pass the credit check for her next apartment.    JJ isn’t believing the plaintiff’s story.  I do, as P.T. Barnum said, “There’s a sucker born every minute”, and plaintiff is one of those suckers.

Plaintiff has texts about security deposit, and first month’s rent too.  Plaintiff actually kept records, and did all of this through money orders.

Defendant never repaid the plaintiff, but they were having a sexual relationship, and she was never paying him anything.

Plaintiff case dismissed.  My guess is the usual, after a breakup the gift was called a loan.

Second (2014)-

Stolen Heart Medication? -Plaintiff /former renter Justin Whiting suing defendants/landlords  Defendants Kevin and Karen Fieseler evicted tenant, but plaintiff claims they had no reason to evict him, and kept his property.    Defendants said they did evict him, they told him to pickup his property, but he never did, after the legally required period, the property was considered abandoned, and they trashed it.   There is a written lease through 30 June, and plaintiff paid through June, but refused to leave in July, and didn’t pay rent.   Plaintiff claims he was forced by Mr. Fieseler to move out, and was harassed at work by him also.  

Plaintiff claims the day he was leaving, after the end of the lease into July, that Karen F. was videoing him, and a gang of people rushed him, and harassed him to leave.   Plaintiff took his piano (electronic keyboard), TVs, pictures, in plaintiff’s two vehicles, but left behind items like his heart medication. Plaintiff’s witness helped plaintiff load his vehicles in four hours.   This case is in April, move out was previous July, so I guess he didn’t need his heart medication he left behind.   I really hate the professional tenants, like this man. 

JJ asks plaintiff why the landlords would want to get rid of a paying tenant?   JJ says defendants claim they had many complaints about constant visits, and other issues.

Defendant stored left behind property for 28 days, notified plaintiff to pick up items, and he never did.   Lease said no pets, and there were three pets there (two cats and a dog).   Plaintiff claims the pets were only there for a few days, and are his parents.  The pictures on move in, and move out are so awful.    Plaintiff says the mess in the move out pictures is from defendants throwing his stuff in the basement corner.   However, the move out picture has a cat that was left behind too.    Plaintiff is whining that when defendants mowed his yard, the decimated his garden.

House was a mess on moveout.   

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Online Love Gone Wrong -Plaintiff Alicia Young suing defendant/former boyfriend, and current deadbeat, Ramon King for repayment of a loan to get his car fixed.     Plaintiff is a single mother, made less than $12k when this case was filmed, and took out a bank loan to finance the car repair.    They met in August, and she took out the loan a month later.   Loan was $1400, and he only repaid $100.

Defendant claims he never asked plaintiff for the money, and so he shouldn’t have to repay anything. 

How despicable, defendant took money from a woman who makes $12k a year. 

Plaintiff gets $1300.

Landlord Lock Out-Plaintiff/former Harold Barnes, kind of a tenant, suing former landlady Peggy Howell for illegal eviction, loss of property.  Plaintiff's witness is his estranged wife, also named Dusty (I'll call her Dusty Sr., and her daughter is Dusty Jr.) and wife was the legal tenant.  Dusty Jr. is defendant’s witness and helped moved the property out.    However, landlady knew plaintiff was living there on and off with estranged wife, Dusty Sr.      Landlady is counter suing for shed materials, back rent, and that's tossed,  

Landlady claims man was an illegal tenant, and she had every right to lock him out.  Landlady claims she didn't know plaintiff moved back, but she sometimes employed him as a handyman to build the shed for her.   Defendant's counter claim about the shed is tossed.  Plaintiff witness/estranged wife, was moving out as of a certain date, and two days later the defendant changed the locks.   

Landlady claims the plaintiff changed the house locks, not her. Plaintiff claims he changed the door knob, but not the locks.      Plaintiff witness/ex-wife complains in text that locks were changed, but then says that plaintiff changed the locks.   Plaintiff witness could still get into the house. 

Defendant is not getting back rent, and accepted rent from both plaintiffs, even though man was never on lease.  Legal tenant (plaintiff witness) gave 30 days-notice to landlady, and she says plaintiff also said he was moving out.   

 Plaintiff estranged wife's daughter (Dusty Jr is defendant’s witness) claims she helped move man's property out, with the plaintiff's wife's help, and put them in the shed at the house.  Plaintiff witness claims the landlady's husband, and maintenance man moved plaintiff's property to the shed.  

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

Plaintiff seems shocked to find out his estranged wife Dusty Sr., is the mother of Dusty Jr., the defendant's witness, and so is JJ.   Plaintiff witness/mother keeps weeping through the whole case.    

$5,000 to plaintiff for illegal eviction.   

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

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

Photos show the defendant's car front hit the back passenger side of plaintiff's car.   Plaintiff is suing because his car only had the bare minimum insurance coverage, and he didn't get anything for his car.    Defendant actually claims the plaintiff slid sideways into his car.   The only place you see a maneuver like the defendant described is at a demo derby. 

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

Plaintiff receives $250, and defendant is still deluded.   

Second (2017)-

Damages from Police Invasion-Plaintiff Demetra Dunbar rented the front of her house (for the first and last time) to defendants, Marquie and Kenisha Jackson.  Plaintiff suing defendants for damages from the police raid, utilities, unpaid rent. Police had a warrant on defendant, and broke down the front door.   Defendant couple and their child, plus a few other people were living in the home.   

They had a month-to-month verbal agreement, for $1200 a month rent, and half of the utilities.    In January, after the police raid she gave them a 30-day notice to quit, and defendants moved out in February.   

The warrant on Marquise Jackson was served by the police, on October 2016, for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, an enhancement charge of endangering safety, and the case is still going on (this was filmed in 2017).  The three defendants were on a cash $1 million dollar bond each, and defendant was on a domestic violence strangulation allegation already.    Defendant husband was held in jail for two months.   January rent was never paid. and on 2 January the 30-day notice was issued.    Plaintiff will get $1200 rent (no security deposit existed).    

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

Plaintiff receives $1695 for one month’s rent, and door damages.   Defendant's counter claim is for loss of dog (he had to give the dog away when they moved), defamation of character, and motel costs, everything for defendants is dismissed.   I love a defendant with a case for assault with a deadly weapon still going on in court is claiming plaintiff defamed him. 

Dog was not allowed to be there, and guests not on lease, then the police raid happened.  Defendant claims the visiting relatives were babysitting the 14-year-old daughter, but plaintiff claims the daughter was left alone a lot.  Defendant's ridiculous claim dismissed. 

$1695 to plaintiff. 

Teens' Camaro Clash-Plaintiff Romarin Bell suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Briana Woodson for the value of a 2002 Camaro, purchased for $900.   Plaintiff said he loaned the girlfriend the Camaro.   He also had a 2003 Camaro, and a 1999 Hyundai.    Camaro is in impound, and it will cost almost $2000 to get car out of car jail.         (What is wrong with plaintiff's speech?   New braces, or what?).     

Car ran out of gas, and Camaro was pushed to curb by defendant's house, Camaro was taken to mechanic, and it needed a blown head gasket replaced.    Defendant claims she gave plaintiff $500 to plaintiff for 2002 Camaro.     

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

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

Pit Bull Attack or Pit Bull Victim? -Plaintiff Melissa Stanhope suing defendant Christopher Buttner for car detailing, and vet bills.   Plaintiff says defendant’s Pit Bull jumped in her car, and was attacking her small dog.    Defendant is making ridiculous excuses for his dog.  Defendant is swilling the Water That May Not be Drunk.   Defendant is a renter, so I hope he no longer lives there.    Defendant’s dogs (Pit Bull, and Chihuahua mix), stay in his garage.     Plaintiff’s small dog is very cute and tiny, it’s a shaved down Pomeranian.   Plaintiff was unloading groceries from her car in the garage, was holding her baby, and plaintiff’s dog followed her from the garage.   Plaintiff saw the Chi and Pit chasing her dog, her dog jumped in the car, and Pit Bull jumped into car and was mauling plaintiff’s tiny dog.    A neighbor came and looked, said it wasn’t his dog, and left.   Then, plaintiff’s husband came out, told her to get their kids in the house, the other kids went home at husband’s direction, and he came back with a shovel.   

Defendant blames the dog attack on plaintiff’s dog, in her own garage, on her property.    Then defendant took his dog out of the car.   I remember this case, I wish animal control had done something about defendant, and his dogs.    Defendant’s renter’s insurance doesn’t cover the Pit Bull, and I hope they cancelled his policy after this.   Defendant claims he never lost sight of his dogs, that’s a total lie.   Defendant blames the blood on his dog on plaintiff’s dog.  

 JJ calls defendant a moron, and I agree with her, Officer Byrd agrees with her, the audience agrees with her, and millions of viewers.   Then defendant says the usual stupid remarks about how nice his Pit is to his kids, pulls up the stupid Nanny Dog story (it’s a lie by the way).   Poor Bella (the plaintiff’s 8 lb. dog) had much bruising, a hernia, and it was from a dog attack.

Plaintiff receives $2500 (I would have given plaintiff $5,000).

Ex-Lover Craziness -Plaintiff Evelyne Franzua suing defendant/ex boyfriend Darryl Kizer for unpaid car loan, and harassment.    Another desperate woman, was full time with him right after meeting him, then she thought she was pregnant (lost the baby), then moved out, found another boyfriend.    Then defendant needed $525 for his transmission repair, and never repaid it.  

Defendant says plaintiff is a nut, and money was a gift.   Even though she had a key to his apartment, he claims they were never together, like dating, they just boinked, and it was just a booty call relationship.

$525 to plaintiff for the transmission.  

Second (2014)-

Sober Living Strife -Plaintiff Ruby Blum  suing defendant /former landlord Melanie Stielow over illegal eviction, and property lost.    The two met when plaintiff was in a sober living house managed by defendant, then defendant stopped being a sober living manager, and plaintiff lived in defendant’s house as a renter.    Then, plaintiff claims she moved in a very expensive bed, that was lost in the eviction.    Plaintiff claims she paid $257 to defendant, pay $400 a month for sleeping on the couch, until a room was available, then rent was $450, and plaintiff bought the bed.   Everyone claims to be sober during the issues in question.

The other roommate plaintiff was to share with is Leslie Benjamin, who is defendant’s witness, but remembers nothing.  Defendant says she didn’t evict plaintiff, but called for a civil standby for the plaintiff’s move out, and then got an eviction order.  Defendant claims plaintiff relapsed on drugs, paid her very little for rent.   However, there is proof plaintiff paid by check and cash, but defendant says the check never cashed by the bank.   And defendant claims plaintiff stole checks, deposit tickets, from her house.

The bed issue is the bed plaintiff bought was left in the defendant’s house, after plaintiff was tossed out (apparently a Tempurpedic).    Witness Leslie claims plaintiff left voluntarily, to plant trees or something, and left a lot behind, including the bed.  Plaintiff had a long time to pick up the bed, but never did.

Defendant is counter suing for storage fees, pain and suffering, punitive damages.  Defendant case dismissed.

Plaintiff gets $400 rent back, but not the bed.      

Who Ran the Red Light?! -Plaintiff Grace Babashoff suing defendant Maxwell Scherer for running a red light and damaging her car.   Plaintiff claims she had a green light, was going to turn left, and defendant ran into her car.  

Defendant had no insurance. Defendant says he had a green light, and plaintiff was in the middle of the intersection, and it was too late to stop, so he hit the plaintiff’s car.  Defendant claims he broke his collarbone, couldn’t afford to pay the insurance, and it only lapsed a couple of days before he slammed into plaintiff.  Defendant also lies and say he’s not driving until he gets insurance, but we all know that’s a lie.

 There is a plaintiff witness, Jason May, who saw defendant’s car run into the side of plaintiff’s car.   After he saw the accident, he went to see if everyone was OK, and the witness and body shop owner both know the plaintiff, after the accident.  This happened in Big Bear Lake, CA, and there are only two body shops in town, and she drove to the nearest one, which is owned by the plaintiff witness, and other plaintiff witness works there.   Almost everyone knows everyone else of the year-round residents.    Defendant’s witness is his girlfriend, so JJ tells her to sit down.  

Plaintiff claims defendant was high when he hit her car.

Plaintiff gets $2841.

First (2017)-

Couch-Surfing Son Sued by Mother-Plaintiff/mother Tela Morton suing defendant/son Michael Whitmore, for damage to her car, impound fees, and lost wages, and for wrecking her car.   Defendant plead guilty to 'failing to maintain a lane'. Defendant was living with mother for about a year before the wreck, accident happened in the middle of the night.   Plaintiff claims son stole her car, total bull pucky on her part.

Plaintiff claims car was insured on the date of the accident, but son says car wasn't insured.   Defendant was cited for failure to have insurance Defendant didn't have a license on him at the time of the accident, and didn't have one, and went to jail on an alias.    Defendant was charged with removing tags from car, and had expired registration.   

Car was registered in Missouri, but accident happened in Georgia, and plaintiff and son, didn't register car in Georgia (she lived there 10 months).   You have to get insurance to the address you live at, and it has to be a company that operates in that state.  Insurance didn't fix plaintiff's car, because defendant wasn't on her insurance.  Plaintiff claims she only lived in Georgia for a month before the accident, and son lived with her, but they actually lived there for ten months before the accident.    Plaintiff claims she was insured in Missouri, and would reregister her car, and get changed to Georgia when the Missouri registration ran out.  

Plaintiff did not have valid insurance when the accident happened, according to American Family Insurance.    American Family operated in Georgia since 2009, but after this case, I’m sure plaintiff’s insurance wasn’t renewed.   American Family coverage lapsed before the accident anyway, and it was for Missouri addresses, not Georgia.   

Plaintiff is raising son's child (child is 10 now, and grandmother has raised him since he was 2), and only gets food stamps (from Missouri. at least until this case aired).    I guess she didn’t change her address with states for the child's benefits either.  JJ advises the mother to have authorities in Georgia garnish the son's wages for his child support.   Tags on vehicle didn’t match the registration, which is from Missouri.

$1500 to plaintiff.   (JJ only did that for the grandchild, not the grandmother). 

Retaliatory Freeway Brake Tapping-Plaintiff Matthew Kemmerle suing defendant Christinel  Ungureanu for an accident on the freeway, defendant is countersuing for his deductible.    Accident was deemed 60% plaintiff's fault.   

Plaintiff say defendant was tail-gating him at high speed, and plaintiff tapped his brakes, and defendant went all of the way right.  However, plaintiff pulled in front of defendant in the high-speed lane.   Instead of getting out of defendant's way, plaintiff tapped his brakes, and defendant pulled back in front of plaintiff's car.    Then defendant tapped on his brakes, causing plaintiff to swerve, and the accident to happen.  

Another case where people let someone irritate them, and then react.  Great way to end up dead.   You never know who is in the other car, and if they're armed, and will go after you.  Defendant didn't have to say anything in court. 

Case dismissed.  

Second (2017)-

Great Childhood Friends, Lousy Roommates-Plaintiff Tierra Bunkley moved in with defendant, Christian Butler, and mother Vonda Butler, rent free, but was supposed to pay utilities.   Then, plaintiff moved her boyfriend in for three or four days a week, and then when plaintiff was asked to leave, and claims it was an illegal lockout.   Plaintiff wants $5k for moving costs, illegal lockout, and other garbage.   

Defendant inherited a house from her father, and she invited plaintiff to move in, but pay expenses (utilities, taxes) but pay no rent.  Plaintiff was saving at least $400 a month by living with the defendant.     Plaintiff financed everything off of her student loans, bad idea.   Defendant wanted plaintiff's boyfriend to pay one-third, plaintiff one-third, and defendant one third of house taxes, and utilities. 

Plaintiff gets $6k for one semester, and $3k for the second semester, and that's how she paid the utilities.   Plaintiff was saving a bundle by not paying rent, but just utilities.    Plaintiff claims when she received the $6k check, she loaned defendant $500.   However, defendant says the $6k was deposited in her account, and plaintiff took all of the money out immediately.    Money was all from FAFSA, and other federal student loans.   Loan is actually a parent loan, and plaintiff's mother is on the hook for the loans.   

Plaintiff boyfriend stayed in home 4 or more days a week, and was never a paying tenant, and when defendant said boyfriend had to help pay the bills, the argument via text messages started.   Defendant wanted plaintiff's boyfriend to pay one-third of the bills, and instead plaintiff and loser boyfriend left.     

JJ says she won't pay motel and moving costs, or pain and suffering, and plaintiff says "she won't allow it".   I hope JJ takes the money back.   The $500 was for half of the house taxes, not a loan.   Defendants are suing for unpaid bills, and lock changing fees.  

Plaintiff gets $500 for the loan, which was actually, from her student loans.  $150 for her TV.   Plaintiff gets $650, minus $92 for utilities, equaling $558.  No pain and suffering for plaintiff, or for me either. 

Short Temper, Long Rap Sheet-Plaintiff Chanel Karnes suing ex-boyfriend Joshua Walker, for vandalizing her home and car.  After the break up, the plaintiff claims the defendant showed up at her house, and plaintiff wouldn't let him into her home (apparently next boyfriend was there). Plaintiff says defendant damaged her house door, bashed her windshield, and damaged a tire.  Defendant was arrested, and pled out the case, and took a plea for the windshield damages.    

Defendant was sent to anger management, which didn't work.  Defendant had other domestic violence, and gun cases before this case.   

Plaintiff gets $1,036 for the front door.

First (2014)-

Clash of the Cousins -Plaintiff/ cousin  Randall Gerringer, and his wife, Cindy Nason, are suing defendant /cousin Madalyn Walleshauser for the unpaid balance on a car they sold her.   Car is being hidden at a mechanic’s shop by defendant, so plaintiffs can’t find it.   Defendant says car was taken to some unknown mechanic by her witness, who is sent out of court to get the mechanic’s address.  Defendant was supposed to pay $125 a month, and only paid $100 (or so she says) one time.   Car payments weren’t paid for 2 full months, and part of another month, so plaintiff will get the car back according to the contract.  (this happened in Haw River, NC).

Part of the car issue is defendant was letting her boyfriend Rico drive the car, which was not allowed by the contract.  Defendant claims she wants to keep the car, and catch up on payments.

Plaintiffs now have an order to repo the car, and are to contact the police at Haw River, NC, and get their car back, and since plaintiffs have the title, defendant will sign the title over to plaintiffs, and they can re-register it, and sell it or whatever they want to do with it (I always suggest that even though it’s expensive, change the ignition, and door locks, or the car will go bye-bye with Cindy, and boyfriend Rico.

JJ makes defendant sign the title back to plaintiffs, and they will report it stolen.   Boyfriend Rico never comes back to court.    Plaintiff says defendant hasn’t had the car for months, some random guy has it.

Plaintiffs get car back, title is signed back, and they will contact the police to get it back, or report it stolen.  Plaintiff says he's going to get the car, and crush it, and send the photo to defendant. 

Dog Breeding Brawl -Plaintiff Jessica Navarro and Alice Fiala (mother) suing defendant Dee Godin over the value of two Yorkshire terrier puppies.   Plaintiffs have a breeding female, one has been bred for five litters (one litter per year), and the other female has had three litters (one per year), they get an outside stud, in return for pick of litter for stud owner, or a stud fee.

Defendant has four females, and five males, two are breeding.   She has one male champion, and two with points.      

Plaintiff says they bred their two females to defendant’s stud.    Defendant is counter claiming because she claims the plaintiffs withheld medical information from defendant.    There is a contract for a breeding, in 2011.    Contract is the usual arrangement for breeding.  If the litter produces more than one puppy, defendant would get to select and keep a puppy.  If there was only one puppy, then defendant would get $500 instead of the puppy.  Contract says the name of another stud, not defendant’s stud dog, but this was for a 2011 breeding. 

The 2013 breedings were without a contract.    The females were bred a few days apart, and there were a total of eight puppies, first litter defendant took one puppy.  With the second litter, defendant kept three puppies.   

Plaintiff says deal was for one puppy, not three puppies that defendant wanted, and defendant said had control of them (plaintiff took the litters separately to defendant’s house), and she was keeping them, and not going to pay for the extra two puppies. 

Defendant sold one puppy, kept another one, and gave one away.   I guess she kept or sold the first puppy from the first litter.    Puppies in the second litter sold for $1300 and $1500 each.

Police said it was a civil matter, and they weren’t getting involved.  

Plaintiffs should get $2800, and get $4,000.   Defendant yells that JJ didn’t listen to her side, why should she? 

Second (2014)-        

Funeral & Family Fight – Plaintiff Kerry Magee suing defendant Patrick Bailey, for a loan to defendant for defendant's father's funeral costs, and an assault.     Litigants are half-brothers (share the same mother). Vernon, defendant's witness gives a lot of entertaining testimony.   Defendant says his father's funeral was paid for by union insurance, but plaintiff did give him $1300 for bills.   Plaintiff claims he invited the defendant to go to the Las Vegas NASCAR race.   Vernon the witness, was going along on the trip to Vegas, and claims plaintiff was going to pay everyone's way to the race in Vegas.  

Vernon the witness called hotel security, and claims it took two security guards to get plaintiff off of defendant.   The photos of defendant's injuries are bad.  

Defendant gets $2700, and that is $4000 minus the $1300 loan from plaintiff.  

Bulldog Stud was a Dud! – Plaintiff Dominique Urtecho suing defendant/family friend Miguel Aceves over an English Bulldog breeding.   As the title says "the Stud was a Dud!"  Plaintiff has stud, and they wanted to breed defendant's female, to get puppy.   Stud fee was $500.   Male was taken to female's location, a friend of defendant was to help with the breeding (not defendant's witness).   There was no litter resulting from the breeding, and therefore, no stud fee is owed.   

The breeding was by artificial insemination, by a co-worker of defendant.   Male is stimulated to produce semen, and then female is inseminated.  

Contract submitted by plaintiff, it says return service, but that didn't happen either. No puppies, so no pick of litter.  Plaintiff has bred her male twelve times, always at the vet's office, except this time. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

First (2017)-

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

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

Then plaintiff moves back to the home city, and wanted the second Pom back from the defendant, and defendant still has the dog as of the court case.   

Plaintiff gets the second Pom back, per Judge Judy.    Mother/defendant says in court that she's not giving the dog back to daughter. 

Here's one case I wish there was an update about what happened to the dog. 

Day Care Serial Conman-Plaintiff Diane Gillett suing defendant/former day care customer Johnell Parker for non-payment.    Defendant has full physical custody, and joint custody with the child's mother.   JJ wants to know former child care provider, and he was terminated as a customer, for non-payment.  JJ decides that defendant is a deadbeat child care customer.  Plaintiff wants $25 a day for watching defendant's child for 10 days total.   Fatima was the previous child care provider, and defendant claims he wasn't behind on child care services (he's lying). 

Defendant said that he was enrolling his child in a Crystal Stairs program, and claimed to be a single father, but child's mother went with him.   (Crystal Stairs is a non-profit that gives low income families on public assistance, attending job training, or job hunting, child care assistance.    If the person has not been on public assistance, then they can get on a list for child care, but that list is really long, so no way defendant would qualify).    

Plaintiff receives $250 for the two weeks of child care services she provided. 

Second (2017)-

Remodel Fail in Old Hickory, Tennessee-Plaintiffs Alton Billings, and wife Roshell Smith hired defendant, Kyle Gibson, to do remodeling work, and they're suing for breach of contract.   Defendant was paid $3,000.   Another $1,000 defendant was paid by check, that plaintiffs paid him, and then stopped the check/money order.  Defendant, and plaintiff witness tried to help settle this matter, but not after suit was filed.   Defendant's counter suit is for unpaid money.   

According to contract, the work had to be substantially completed, but no specific deadline was mentioned.    JJ mentions that the $4,000 that was going to be paid to contractor for a long list of remodeling work.   Total price was supposed to be $7500, but only $3,000 was paid (minus the $1000 money order defendant revoked). 

 It also cost plaintiffs $14,000 to finish the remodeling job.  Defendant had a signed initial contract with plaintiffs, but their change orders were not written down, and signed by all parties.  

Plaintiff gets nothing.    $1,000 to defendant.

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

Defendant says plaintiff gave her plaintiff's part of the rent money for gas.     The audience giggles, and JJ and Officer Byrd don't shush anyone.   JJ's glare at defendant is epic.  

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

$810 to plaintiff.

First (2014)-

Marijuana Growing Property Fight! -Plaintiff Jay Fox (he’s an animation director or something) suing defendant/former tenant and Weed grower Harlan Pankau for damaging his rental property after defendant was told his lease wasn’t being renewed.    Plaintiff and father bought the 7 acres, and a mobile home at a foreclosure auction, fixed the trailer up, and rented it to defendant.    There are move-in pictures of a clean property.    Defendant claims to be a single father, and student, and supports his children from government benefits.  Defendant has two kids in the U.S. in the trailer, and two in Mexico with the ex-wife.

Move out pictures of the trailer are disgusting. Including a sort of Christmas tree painted on the wall, obviously by his two kids, possibly the defendant too.

 Defendant calls the filth and vandalism in the rental house done by his children “Art Work”, believe me it’s not art work.  Defendant’s mother is his witness, and denies the dirt, garbage, vandalism, and the rest of the damages to the trailer aren’t how her son and his children live.

Defendant says every time he went to Mexico to see his ex-wife and two kids, who can’t come to the U.S., he claims ex-wife called plaintiff, and plaintiff vandalized the trailer.   Defendant has two kids in the U.S. at the trailer, and two with the ex in Mexico, and the ones in Mexico can’t come to the U.S.    The trailer is right next to the Mexico border, so defendant claims he could visit with his kids over the border fence.    Nice place to have kids hanging out, next to the border fence, which an area full of crime, smuggling, and dangerous. Defendant hasn’t filed taxes for year. 

Defendant used to have blackout seizures, and grows his own Weed for medicinal reasons, and claims to have a legal license to do so.   He was growing on plaintiff and father’s property. Convenient he’s next to the border, easy to get product over I’m guessing.

City/county had an issue with the water quality at the trailer, and the allegation is they hooked up to the neighbor’s waterline, and were stealing water.   My guess is the grow op needed a lot of water, so I think I know who needed a lot of water free.    Defendant’s ex-wife was living with plaintiff’s father, after defendant booted her out, with her two kids.   Not sure which ex-wife this is, the U.S. ex, or the Mexico ex.   Plaintiff said defendant locked a chicken in the bedroom, and let it starve to death.   (My question is, why would two women marry, and have kids with the defendant?).

Plaintiff says the neighboring property was owned by the man who owned both pieces of property, with one well shared by both properties.  When the plaintiff bought the property, the other owner refused to sign a water agreement, so plaintiffs had to get another well.  

Plaintiff’s father is a contractor, but that doesn’t make up for $20k in damages, just for labor.

Plaintiff gets $2,500. ($850 was security deposit, total damages add up $20,000)

Second (2014)-

Broken Relationship -Plaintiff Timothy Bassett suing defendant/ex-girlfriend and mother of his child Lianna Letourneau for damaging his computer, and assaulting him with a flashlight.  Defendant’s wig is from the dollar store collection of disguises.

Defendant claims she was terrified of plaintiff, and had to call her brothers to come and rescue her.   Plaintiff claims he didn’t see defendant from the first incident over five months.   Defendant claims she went over to plaintiff’s without the child, and was intimate with plaintiff.   Plaintiff still claims he didn’t see the defendant between the assault in September, and through February.   

This gets worse, plaintiff is suing for full custody of his child.   Defendant has two children, only one with plaintiff, but has a Chips (Child in Need of Protective Services, in Minnesota) case pending, so children and defendant live with her mother.    Technically, defendant’s mother has custody of the children, but defendant is allowed to live there.

Then, in February defendant took baby to plaintiff’s home, even though she claims to be terrified of plaintiff.    Defendant doesn’t remember anything about the February visit to plaintiff’s home, with the baby.    Defendant and child spent two and a half days at plaintiff’s home.    There’s sadly something wrong with plaintiff.

Then, defendant took the computer home.

JJ asks defendant brother if defendant can take the baby to stay with plaintiff for almost three days, and he says she can.    JJ had the tape of this case sent to the presiding Family Court judge over defendant’s case.    What a sad case, for the two children involved. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Tenant Take Down -Plaintiff/landlord Jennifer Jabo suing defendants /former tenants Jim and Kimberly Kelly over damages to plaintiff’s rental home.   There are pictures after the renovation, but not move-in pictures before the Kellys moved in.   Plaintiff filed and received a formal eviction, and the Kellys were evicted by the court. 

 Defendants are counter suing for harassment, claiming they had to move out in 24 hours, which is a crock.   You have a lot of notice of a pending eviction, hearings, etc.      Defendants’ case dismissed.

Plaintiff wants $680 for back rent, and $4320 for damages to the property.   The eviction was heard, but the damages couldn’t be claimed until after defendants’ moved out, in small claims.   There is a video, plus photos of damages.    The big window is smashed.   The 5 gallon drums in the drive way were sealant, but left behind by defendant.    This took place in Florida, and I’m amazed the plaintiff could get the tenants evicted, it’s a very tenant friendly state.

The video of damages is horrible.  I hate to break it to the plaintiff, but what she calls Roach droppings, is Mouse, or bigger damages.

$5,000 to plaintiff and she keeps the $300 in security deposit.

First (2017)-

Go Find Yourself Another Harlequin Great Dane-Plaintiff Billee Hirsch suing former neighbor, Kara Pedroni for the return or value of a Great Dane, and punitive damages for having the dog spayed.   Counter claim if dog is awarded back to plaintiff is board for taking care of the dog.    Plaintiff paid $1200 for the two month old dog, in 2014.   Plaintiff had a Staffordshire Terrier, and Great Dane for a few months.    Then plaintiff moved in with her boyfriend six weeks after she bought the dog (2015), and his Pit Bull didn't like the puppy, and plaintiff gave dog to defendant to dog sit.   Defendant had the dog spayed, because she wasn't going to have a 110 lb dog in heat in her house.

After two years, defendant still has the dog,  Plaintiff claimed she paid defendant for dog food.    Defendant says plaintiff paid no bills for the dog.   Over two years, plaintiff claims she visited dog every two weeks.   Plaintiff says she was waiting for a settlement for her father's estate, and then would get her own home, and get the dog back.    However, plaintiff had her own place when dog was 10 months old or so, but never got the dog.    Defendant has taken the dog to the vet for shots, treatment, and spaying.    Defendant said plaintiff's cell phone was disconnected, and that's the only way she could contact plaintiff. 

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

Defendant keeps the dog.    Plaintiff told to get another dog.  She only had the dog for six weeks, and almost never visited, or brought food.     I'm betting she only wanted the value of the dog, because she wanted a breeding animal, and defendant spayed the dog. 

Plaintiff gets nothing. 

Judge Judy Shares Her Husband's Approach to Telemarketers-Plaintiff Judy Dietzler suing former business partners John Toth and Carolyn Leonard (Carolyn Leonard is a retired psychotherapist), for the return of money, and jewelry.    Plaintiff received a phone call from the male defendant, promoting a telemarketing investment business, and she was dumb enough to do that.   On a bizarre note, plaintiff actually works for Idaho, as a Consumer Advocate.  

 (JJ's husband tells the telemarketers where to go, and how to get there, I really like Judge Jerry)).    Defendants talked plaintiff into joining their pyramid scheme, where the idiot makes money by conning other people into joining the pyramid scheme.   Plaintiff whines because she was never paid for cheating other people that she recruited into the scheme.  Plaintiff's first and only sale was for $15,000.  Defendants want training costs, and making false allegations.     

Plaintiff didn't have enough cash, and some jewelry for collateral.  Plaintiff paid $4,000 cash, and the jewelry.   The product was digital downloads teaching you to make money online, by getting people into the business (pyramid scheme).   Defendant says they sell digital licensing franchises.    

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

As JJ says, plaintiff was stupid, and is lucky to get her money back.  The two defendants split the $3500, and never paid the commissions to the plaintiff for recruiting other suckers.   

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

(My telemarketer story is I was at my last job, and we had a lot of international students.   Then some telemarketer called from India, probably Mumbai (maybe Sumit from 90 Day Fiance?), and I asked him to wait a second, and told the officer from India about the situation.    He took the phone, and started talking to the man in Hindi or one dialect, and you could tell the officer was not happy.    The telemarketer hung up, and the officer said the man wouldn't be calling back again, ever.    I've been known to tell others that called my office (I worked for the federal government) that a Predator drone with a Hellfire missile was in their future.  However, I really couldn’t send an armed drome after them).   

Second (2017)-

Pregnant Ex-Lover Anger-Plaintiff Ericka Bobalek suing former live-in boyfriend Trace Fisher, for return of rent, moving costs, and security deposit.     They were shacking up, and three months later it ended.    Plaintiff took out a personal loan for $4,000 for moving, security deposit, and rent.    Security was $1450, and rent was $950.    As usual, defendant has no proof he paid security, and first month's rent. 

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

Plaintiff gets $1450 security back, but no moving costs.   Plaintiff also bought almost $1,000 of appliances, and defendant paid her $800 for those, and she'll get $156 more.  Defendant says on move out day, either plaintiff or a helper took his king sized bed, and smashed his TV (good for them). 

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

Attending a Funeral or Arrested-Plaintiff In He Lee suing former tenant John Jhun for unpaid rent and damages.  Plaintiff rented a 2-story home to defendant, and defendant paid $1100 security deposit.   Plaintiff claims defendant didn't pay from July to September (defendant claims he paid cash, and has no receipts).     Defendant owes $3300 for three month’s rent (July to September).   Plaintiff claims damages, but no proof of damages, so that's dismissed. 

Plaintiff has no proof of damages.    Defendant was out of town in September at a family funeral, however plaintiff claims man was in jail.    Counter claim by defendant is for property landlady took when he was at the funeral (or jail).  Defendant has no proof of the funeral he went to.   

Defendant also left his girlfriend behind at the plaintiff's house, and she was told to leave also (apparently not on lease).  So, girlfriend didn't need to go to the funeral?   

 Plaintiff gets today's award for hysterical faces, during the defendant's testimony. 

 Plaintiff gets $3300 for rent.

First (2013)-

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

Plaintiff witness confirms what plaintiff said.  The plaintiff pulled over for a fire truck, when defendant hit her car, and defendant fled.   Plaintiff witness, and plaintiff say they followed the defendant to her home, when defendant and five or six others climbed out of the defendant vehicle.  Defendant claims her car was stolen from the nightclub parking lot, but no police report was made.  Isn't it amazing that defendant went to the club, with five or six people as passengers, and when it was stolen it was left in front of her home, with five or six people crawling out of it. 

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

Plaintiff receives $4,500 

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

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

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

Plaintiff gets $450

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

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

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

Second (2013)-

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

Plaintiff's son Bryon looks really out of it in court.     They were drinking Smirnoff and Sprite.  

There is a recording from jail by defendant, and the transcript in the police report says defendant admits car owner didn’t know he drove car.  However, defendant told police that plaintiff's son gave him permission to drive the car. 

$854 to plaintiff.

Brother-Sister Squabble -Brother/plaintiff Nabil Haddad suing sister/defendant Gail Haddad for several loans to help her get a divorce.  Defendant claims she owes brother nothing, and claims money only became loans after defendant recently came into money, and she claims plaintiff/brother is broke, and only wants her money she came into.   $3,000 was the first loan in November 2010, for her divorce attorney.     

Plaintiff tosses in comment that this was sister’s second divorce from the same husband.  Defendant says brother never gave her any money loans or gifts.  Plaintiff claims he borrowed the money from a cousin, but has no proof

Defendant says brother never gave her $3,000.   The only thing they can prove is that they don’t like each other.  

(I actually knew a couple who married and divorced each other at least four times, before he finally moved far away, and the relationship was permantly ended., I wonder if the sister remarried the ex-husband for the third time?)

Plaintiff case dismissed.

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

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

First (2017)-

HOA President Accused of Leaks, and Lies-Plaintiff Sam Salemnia suing HOA President Stuart Schlig for lying about damage to plaintiff's condo (first floor apartment) from upstairs neighbor's (third floor apartment) plumbing issues.  Mr. Schlig owns the third floor condo.    Plaintiff has two videos showing proof of the leaks from the third floor, passing through the second floor unit, and the plaintiff's first floor unit.   

Defendant is not only the condo owner, but is the HOA president, and also owns the management company, so it's a total conflict of interest.    Plaintiff's apartment was repaired by insurance, there were added items that defendant would pay out of pocket for.   Then, an additional leak happened from the defendant's apartment (washing machine drain line leaked, again).   

This apartment/condo building is about 45 years old, there was asbestos, and the pipes with leaks look like galvanized.    Part of the additional work was asbestos removal in the common area (hallway).     Defendant still says plaintiff is a liar and a crook. 

In the hall-terview, defendant still claims plaintiff is a liar, and a crook, and claims his condo pipes don't leak.   Defendant keeps saying the leak isn't in his condo.   

Plaintiff receives $2800.

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

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

Second (2017)-

 The Smell of 14 Cats in the Morning-Plaintiff Taymoor Pilehvar (is also operating out of Florida now) bought a condo, in Stillwater, OK, and later rented it to the defendants, Kevin Mensink and Tiffany Armstrong, who had 14 cats, and 7 kittens, and the results were horrible to live with.  (I can almost smell the ammonia from just hearing 21 cats in one home).   Plaintiff was in college, when he moved to Norman, OK for law school, and now practices law Norman, OK in Oklahoma, and he rented the condo to defendant.    Defendants lived in condo for three years, and payments were often late, but paid, except they still owe partial rent for the last month.    (Plaintiff now intends to rehab the condo, and sell it). 

Neighbors started calling plaintiff about the cat stench from the condo.   Defendants claim the maximum number of cats was 14, including kittens, and found homes for them (now the strange singing/meowing, voice of the defendant man starts).   Defendants had 4 cats when they moved out.   Lease says 3 cats maximum.   

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

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

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

$5,000 to plaintiff.  

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

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

Madonna Homes, the complex this happened in is only for elderly, and disabled people.     I want to know how plaintiff, and his fiance qualified to move into a building for elderly, and disabled?   

Defendant is getting evicted from apartment complex because of plaintiff's harassment, and that means to me that management of the apartments is fine with plaintiff running his store in the building, and allowing someone who doesn't even qualify to live there have two apartments, and use the day room.

Case is recalled, and the attorney doesn't know the plaintiff, and his receipt isn't from his office. (On another strange note, plaintiff's witness/fiance is barefoot in court). 

Plaintiff case dismissed.        Counter claim dismissed.

First (2013)-

Mom Got My Car Repoed! -Plaintiff /car buyer Charron Anderson suing defendant/car dealer Katherine Monahan for stolen property, and car payment return.   Car was in mother’s name, until it was paid off, and plaintiff would pay for car payments, and insurance.   Car was repoed after plaintiff’s mother and co-signer called dealer and told them to repo car.    Car down payments and down payment came from plaintiff’s financial aid.   Plaintiff claims insurance was up to date when it was taken back.    Plaintiff paid $3800 from student loan money, and then a few months later she stopped making payments, and insurance fees.   

Defendant was told by mother, since car was in her name, to repo the car because there was no insurance on the car.   Another case of ‘the car broke down, so I’m not paying on it”   Car was taken back on July 18, which plaintiff says was May or June.    Theresa Brown, plaintiff’s mother, is defense witness.  Plaintiff called defendant over a month later, to get her property out of the car, which were only school papers.  It turns out that the car that was repossessed in July, that plaintiff didn’t go to pick up her property until November.

Defendant wants money for wheel falling off of the car when it was picked up, but no witnesses. Defendant claim dismissed.

Plaintiff’s claim is dismissed. 

Lawn Mower Mayhem -Plaintiff /car owner Joan Jauss suing defendant Kenn Roberts for defendant’s lawn mower kicking up a rock and breaking the plaintiff’s windshield.    Plaintiff was driving, heard something hit the car windshield, and there were no other possibilities for the rock.    Defendant says he told her that the crack wasn’t there that morning, not that it just happened.  

Defendant was mowing the front yard, and then was in the back yard.     JJ thinks he was hiding from plaintiff.   However, I’ve known a lot of people who have spontaneous cracks develop, others who had a chip that suddenly became a crack.   Defendant claims he mowed the entire backyard before plaintiff came back to talk to him.   Defendant also says plaintiff has had multiple broken windshields.  

Plaintiff gets her windshield money, $259. 

Second (2013)-

Knife Attack? -Plaintiffs Caesar Menendez suing defendant Jarvis Braboy for medical bills after defendant attacked him with a knife.    The two used to be friends, went out to eat, and were sitting on the porch eating, when defendant slashed plaintiff’s hand.   The cut on plaintiff’s hand looks very bad, there is a police report, but only two medical bills, not records.    Plaintiff witness says he saw defendant’s hand move, and then saw plaintiff bleeding, and took plaintiff to the hospital.

Defendant claims plaintiff was arguing with him for no reason.   Plaintiff says he wasn’t arguing, when suddenly defendant attacked.

Plaintiff submits texts from defendant, talking about hurting him. 

$1400 for plaintiff, because of the texts admitting defendant cut plaintiff.

Uninsured Teen Trouble -Plaintiff Steven Marchand suing defendant /teen driver Christopher Clayton and his mother Joelle Mathiasen for an accident blamed on defendant.   As usual, insurance on defendant’s car lapsed a couple of weeks before the accident.   However, plaintiff has a letter from defendant’s insurance company denying coverage for the accident, saying no coverage for months before the accident.  Defendant mother has to do the walk of shame to get Progressive to confirm when her insurance coverage lapsed.

Defendant mother comes back to court with the insurance letter, saying policy lapsed in June, over six months before the accident.  

Plaintiff says he was driving with Kristine Kepple, his witness, was the front seat passenger, claims defendant swerved into plaintiff’s lane, when defendant hit the side at the driver’s door.   Witness says defendant didn’t stop for at least two blocks after the collision.

Defendant son actually claims the plaintiff slid sideways, came into defendant’s lane, and hit the front of defendant’s car.    That explanation is ridiculous.    Defendant’s car had bumper damage on the front, which means he hit plaintiff’s car on the driver’s side.   If they had hit head-on, there would have been dead people, not crunched doors, and bumpers.

Both cars went to the plaintiff’s nearby house, where police were called, but police declined to do a report.

Then, the defendant’s witness, girlfriend Ashley (I’m betting soon-to-be ex-girlfriend) testifies that defendant crossed the center line, and hit plaintiff.    Why do I suspect girlfriend Ashley was the former girlfriend, shortly after this court case was filmed?     

Car pictures of plaintiff’s car are bad.  2002 Chevy Monte Carlo was plaintiff’s car.

$2500 to plaintiff.

First (2017)-

All Expense Paid Trip to Trinidad?! -Plaintiff /desperate, delusional ex-girlfriend Mariah Allen suing defendant/ex Lorenzo Jodhan for unpaid loans.    Plaintiff and defendant were in a relationship for a total of seven years.   However, there were several loans, $256, $100, $100, $1700, and nothing was repaid.     However, there was also an all expense paid trip to Trinidad, paid for by plaintiff.

Defendant says the loans only became loans after they broke up, and were made when they were in a relationship. Car loan was $750 according to defendant, not the $1700 claimed by plaintiff.

The car was a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, so 20 years old.  Defendant proudly exclaims the car was used. 

Plaintiff brother drove the car home after they paid for it, from a private buyer, but knows nothing, literally nothing.  Defendant says they had to rebuild the transmission, and the seller knew his cousin, so that’s why he got a deal on the car. 

Trip to Trinidad and back was paid for by defendant’s mother, for plaintiff.    So, that’s worth $700, and it was a birthday gift for plaintiff from defendant’s mother.    

$1700 to plaintiff.  She’s lucky JJ gave her anything.  

Handicapped Senior Accused of Raging Vandalism-Plaintiff /caregiver Ebony Marshall is suing defendant/her client Denise Neal for damaging plaintiff's car when she was pitching a fit, and lost wages.

Defendant’s adult grandsons were caring for her, and then when more care was required,  plaintiff was hired as one of the providers for care for plaintiff.    One grandson was a volunteer, and two state paid caregivers were plaintiff and another person.    Defendant’s daughter is now doing part of the caregiving. 

Plaintiff says she was taking defendant on an errand, and then defendant got mad about something, pounded on the dashboard, while screaming all kinds of nasty things.   

Defendant threatened to not certify plaintiff's hours, so she wouldn't get paid. 

$836 to plaintiff.

Second (2017)-

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

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

Ex Gets Short End of the Lizard Stick-Plaintiff Darlene Lobato suing her ex-boyfriend /defendant Michael Velez for lizard support, a false restraining order, and expenses for a mutual vehicle.    They lived together at his mother's house, he moved out two years ago, and left their two dogs, and the six lizards behind, but visits the animals occasionally.    Plaintiff took care of the defendant's mother, and all of the animals.   

Plaintiff pays the rent since defendant moved out.   JJ has plaintiff sign over title to defendant's old vehicle (to get her liability for the vehicle canceled).     Plaintiff will keep the dogs, and if defendant doesn't pick up his lizards in the number of days JJ specified, they will be going to lizard jail.   There is no contract for pet care.   

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

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

Cases dismissed.

First (2014)-

Used Car Disaster? -Plaintiff /car sellers  Julie Misukanis and nephew David suing defendant/ John Teske for the unpaid balance on the car, and an unpaid insurance bill.  Nephew says his brother-in-law originally wanted to buy the car from plaintiff, changed his mind, and then plaintiff nephew found defendant to buy car.       Defendant paid 1000 for car, when plaintiff only paid $650.    Then plaintiffs claim defendant bought the car.   However, defendant says it was a test drive, and right after he got in the car the brake pads fell out, so he left it by the side of the road.

Plaintiff woman paid $650 for car, one month later they wanted to sell the car to defendant for $1500, but plaintiff nephew agreed to $1000 or $1200, on a missing contract.

Defendant had car for a month when it totally croaked and was left on the side of the road.   Officer Byrd’s 1995 Subaru KBR price is $800.

$1000 to plaintiffs.  Then plaintiff wants insurance money, not happening.

Ex-Girlfriends and Vandalism -Plaintiff Tatiana Luckett suing defendant /ex-girlfriendTanisha David for cellphone disconnection fee, and for damaging her car in a parking lot scuffle.   The two were romantic, they broke up, and plaintiff cancelled defendant’s cell phone from her plan, and then defendant vandalized plaintiff’s car.    Plaintiff claims defendant stopped paying her portion of the cell phone bill, then defendant’s phone line was cancelled.  

No disconnect fee for plaintiff, because the bill doesn’t show that. End of cell phone case.  

Parking lot fight is ridiculous.

Plaintiff cases dismissed.

Second (2013)-

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

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

Who the hell does JJ think shot the arrow that hit the pool side? I guess JJ thinks people with above ground pools deserve damages from neighbors with bad aim.     Unless she thinks plaintiffs pulled the arrows out of the fence, or tree, and blamed the neighbor.   It’s obvious it’s only defendant and his friends doing the damages. 

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

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

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

Plaintiff will get $35, for not paying rent, from what is left of her security deposit.    Since, no proof of one month’s rent payment, and defendant’s counter claim, then  landlords will keep security deposit.   Landlords say plaintiff would also leave her 15-year-old son alone for days at a time.  Defendant claims plumber couldn’t get access on multiple occasions, because plaintiff wouldn’t let him in.  

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

JJ again proves that she thinks no one should earn money on an investment property.

Everything dismissed.   Plaintiff just wouldn’t shut up.

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2016)-

Outrageous Business Practices-Plaintiff /landlord Floyd Skor suing defendants/former tenants Danny Koerner and wife Shantel Hero for breaking their lease, unpaid rent, and property damage.   Former tenants claim they paid in cash, and security in money orders, and have no receipts.  Money orders have a copy you keep, so no receipt means no payment.   Like all professional squatters, the defendant went to housing court.  The housing court talks mostly about the defendants' dogs, not rent.     

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

Plaintiff says defendants used false names on the applications.  Defendants filed a claim with plaintiff's insurance company under the fake names, after they moved out too.   This was a claim for injury the wife received on the falling apart staircase, and it’s still pending.    Hope the insurance company investigators found the phony names the defendants filed under.

Again, JJ proved how much she hates landlords.

Plaintiff receives $1200 rent.  

Chickens Rule the Roost-Plaintiffs Scott and Tracy Kimple suing defendant/ former tenant Janette Gortz  for property damage, and rent.   Plaintiff claims the tenant of four years owes for utilities, rent, and damages caused by her multitude of chickens.     Defendant cut the garage window screen out, to let the chickens go from the inside of the garage, where the coop was, and out to the yard.   (I agree with the plaintiffs, chicken poop stinks a lot, and the damages from them is not a joke, except to JJ).   I still fail to understand why landlords ever came on this show.   The worst part of landlord cases are the smirking tenants who know they won’t lose anything. 

Plaintiff receives $584.   

Second (2016)-

Elder Abuse?!-Plaintiff Bobby Ketcherside sold a parcel of land to defendant Ronald Teachenor (they're both neighbors) to add to the defendant's property.   Plaintiff wants money for a fence, restraining order, and an assault.   Property was $3,000 and they would split privacy fence dividing the property ($700) more.  Plaintiff didn't put the fence issue in his case in JJ's court, just in the local court case.       

After fence was built, the defendant wanted to paint it red to match defendant's house.     Plaintiff wanted a neutral color, and they were going to discuss it.   The next day defendant painted his side of the fence red, but did not paint the plaintiff's side.   

 The fence was built entirely on plaintiff's property, and defendant trespassed to paint the fence. 

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

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

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

First (2014)-

Roommate Mayhem -Plaintiffs  Amber Walters and boyfriend Joe Russell suing defendant/former roommate Will Wood  for stealing and selling their property. Two plaintiffs and their witness (witness is wife of defendant) were living together, defendant got a protective order, and when plaintiffs move back in after protective order expired, plaintiffs claims defendant sold their furniture while plaintiffs and witness were out of the house.   

Only working plaintiff was Amber Walters, Joe Russell is on Worker’s Comp.   The apartment complex was under B.M.H.A. (Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority), for $99 a month, plus utilities.   Defendant makes t-shirts he sells online on eBay, trade shows, and still does that.    Defendant now lives with his handicapped father.

After restraining order was denied, plaintiff woman claims her former bedroom in the 3 bedroom apartment was empty.   However, defendant moved out three days before the hearing, and turned in his keys.   Plaintiff Amber claims plaintiff witness (former wife of defendant), made the 8-year-old clean, and the plaintiff witness too.

Everything dismissed.

Brother-in-Law Blowup -Plaintiff Christian Silva suing defendant Juan Corona (brother-in-law) for ruining the engine of plaintiff’s car when defendant was borrowing the car.

Plaintiff was in ICE custody, plaintiff’s wife loaned car to defendant, and car engine blew up. 

There is no proof defendant did anything to the car, so plaintiff case dismissed.  Car was a 2006 BMW.

Plaintiff’s wife had a ‘misunderstanding’ with authorities at the airport, so she couldn’t appear in court. Now, that's the interesting part of this stupid case.  

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Ex-Lover Payback -Plaintiff Michelle Lassiter-Vering suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Jeff Strasser for a loan ($2100) during their brief relationship, while she was separated from her husband, and then returned to husband.

Plaintiff claims she never lived with defendant, but defendant claims they lived together for a month.  The money is claimed to be borrowed by defendant, to pay his rent.   Defendant says he never asked for a loan.

Unfortunately, defendant paid seven payments, a total of  $580 to plaintiff, so it’s clearly a loan. Plus cash advance fees, and late fees. 

$1900 to plaintiff for the loan.

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

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

$1500 to plaintiff.

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

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

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

Case dismissed.

Dangerous Football League?-Plaintiff Dale Illingworth coaches a team in youth football, entered a tournament, and found his kids weren't as experienced as the other teams were.  Plaintiff is suing for return of entry fees, gate, and attorney's fees, and defendant Mike Garrett, tournament organizer refused the refund.    Plaintiff claims the other teams that beat his kids were a huge mismatch, same ages, but plaintiff claims the other teams were more seasoned.   Plaintiff's team lost twice, including one kid getting a concussion.  Two kids on plaintiff's team needed head injury clearance, and they couldn't play.    Plaintiff claims his team was guaranteed a three game tournament.  (If the plaintiff was that worried about his kids, then he would have pulled out of the tournament, and not had his team participate).    

Are the plaintiff's red shirts, the team colors or something?    

(Obviously JJ doesn't know that some kids play football the second they can stand up.   Disgusting, but true).

Case dismissed. 

Property Brothers They are Not!-Plaintiffs Scott and Robertson Kunz, suing former tenant/defendant Anthony Sorey, for stealing appliances from their rental home. Plaintiffs wanted to get into real estate investments, and this was their first house, and they now have two houses. The house was three bedrooms, and three baths.        Plaintiffs bought the house with the defendant, Anthony Sorey,  and three other tenants already in place.   They four tenants were renting the house together, the defendant, his nephew, and two more.     Then plaintiffs found out that they could get $1800 a month rent, instead of the current $1200 a month.   

They sent a notice that new lease would be $1800, then after not paying that for even one month, the plaintiffs moved to evict tenants for non-payment.   Housing court mediation gave the tenants 20 more days to move out, and 10 months later the squatters were still there.  

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

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

    Defendant and nephew stayed 10 days after the last month move out date, but still paid nothing, and plaintiffs had to go back to housing court again to get rid of them.   (Defendant seems a bit stoned in court, and needs a good dentist immediately).  On his way out of court, the defendant is swilling the Water That Must Not be Drunk like he's dying of thirst.

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

Second (2017)-

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

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

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

Case dismissed

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

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

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

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

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed. 

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

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

Plaintiff receives $561.

I wasn't sure what was going to happen.  Clearly JJ didn't believe it was a collision, but the defendant certainly appeared to think it was (over appearing to lie).

4 p.m. episodes-

First (2014)-(this is a rare four case episode). 

Used Car Calamity -Plaintiff/car buyer Sarah Lambourne Marilyn Taylor (wife) and Verone Taylor (husband)suing defendant/car seller over a used ‘as is’ car claiming that the $2 repair cost a lot more to fix, and wants repair and transportation costs, $2958 total.     The car was ‘as is’ but defendant signed a paper stating that if she had issues with the car, her $2,000 would be returned.  

Cost to fix oil leak on car was more than $2.     There is no proof that plaintiff called defendant within the 30 days and wanted her money back.       Plaintiff dropped her phone in the toilet, and so her message history is gone, but defendant didn’t keep the message that he claims was more than six weeks after purchase.

Plaintiff has no proof of the call about the guarantee, case dismissed.

Collateral Ex-Girlfriend Damage -Plaintiff/ex-girlfriend  Shanequa Brown suing defendant/ex-girlfriend  Re’Anna Wilson for kicking in her door during an argument.   They only lived together for two weeks. Defendant claims the door was loose, and it didn’t take much force to kick the door down. 

$300 to plaintiff to fix the door.    

Abandoned or Stolen? -Plaintiff Charles Tilotta suing defendant/sister-in-law Angela Tilotta for a truck he left parked at defendant’s house.   Defendant has the truck that’s titled in plaintiff’s name.  Defendant claims the truck was given to her to settle an old debt from plaintiff, and she has the promissory note signed by plaintiff, saying the truck is in payment of the debt.   Truck was parked on defendant’s property for 14 months.  

Unfortunately, promissory note pertains to a 98 truck, not the 96 truck in question.    Defendant has the title to the truck. 

Plaintiff picks up his truck.  Everything else dismissed.

Co-Workers All Fired Up! -Plaintiff Rae Tacie Richards is suing defendant/ Jesus ‘Jesse’ Arriagae for an unpaid loan to pay his bills, loan was $1500.

$1500 to plaintiff.

Second (2013)-

Return My Chihuahua -Plaintiff Barbara Callahan suing defendant/estranged daughter-in-law Angelique Callahan for the return of her Chihuahua, unpaid veterinary bills, and pawning a diamond ring.  After she split up with the husband, defendant moved out, and left dog with mother-in-law because daughter-in-law was homeless.    Almost ex-husband is mother’s witness.   

 Litigants, plus husband/son lived in plaintiff’s home until plaintiff evicted the couple.    Then, two months later couple returned to plaintiff’s home, until they split in August, leaving the dog with plaintiff.   The adoption papers have plaintiff’s name on it, and vet receipts have plaintiff’s name on it.    If plaintiff loses custody of dog, then she wants vet bills paid by defendant.    (This is in Strasburg, VA, near Winchester, VA. In the Shenandoah Valley).  However, married couple/defendant used another vet.   

Barbara Callahan adopted the dog, took dog to vet, but plaintiff wants the dog back.  Defendant claims Barbara Callahan had a driver's license in the county the shelter is in, so she had to sign the contract    Contract is with SPCA of Winchester, VA, and defendant claims plaintiff breached the contract, but defendant has no standing to challenge the contract.   Plaintiff has six dogs, and defendant only has Rock Star, the Chi in question.  

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

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

$45 for vet bills to plaintiff. Defendant keeps the dog.  (In hall-terview, plaintiff claims her son will never give defendant a divorce.   Since divorce can be finalized with or without the other party agreeing, plaintiff and sonny can stuff it.   Apparently, plaintiff thinks the divorce laws in Virginia never changed from the old days, needing permission from both spouses to get a divorce. ) (Barbara Callahan died in November 2018). 

Doberman Dachshund Attack  -Plaintiff Valerie Iovino-Cox, is suing defendant /animal rescue operator Joseph Panzarella over the  Doberman, Dillinger, she adopted from him.  Plaintiff wants vet bills, and her adoption donation back. Doberman attacked a plaintiff's Dachshund.  Defendant is an animal rescue operator, and Doberman was in the process of being adopted by plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims after the attack, she was afraid of Dillinger, the Doberman.  After Hurricane Sandy, defendant had about 60 abandoned animals, and adopted them out. 

Plaintiff adopted Dillinger, gave the required donation, and took Dillinger home.  Then, Dillinger attacked the Dachshund on the same day.  Plaintiff didn't supervise the dogs.   Plaintiff claims dog was only at her home for a trial weekend, the attack happened, and plaintiff claims in the three days until defendant picked up the Doberman, she was afraid for her life.   As JJ points out, if the plaintiff was really terrified for her life, why didn't she call animal control to pick the dog up?

Plaintiff's ridiculous case dismissed.   It wasn't plaintiff's first Doberman either.  

5 p.m. episodes-

First (2016)-

Horse Tragedy in Unsafe Stables-Plaintiff/horse owner Janice Tickle suing defendant /boarding barn owner Sarah Joynt over injury to a horse at her boarding stable, plus boarding fees, ransom for the horse.   Defendant runs a boarding stable, and plaintiff now claims defendant didn't have a license to run a boarding stable.  (you need a business license, or zoning, but no one gets a license to run a boarding barn)

Defendant told plaintiff about the injury, called a vet, but plaintiff owed the vet money for over six months past due, and vet would only come out to see horse if plaintiff paid the money.     Plaintiff says she owed vet $248, and it was over six months past due, and defendant says it was owed for over a year, and was $980.   

 Defendant says plaintiff was supposed to move her horse, but didn't move horse on time, and didn't pay the last month ($325) before the injury (horse had been at the barn since 2013).    The barn owner said that the horse owner barely paid for board, sometimes didn't pay, never visited the horse, and stiffed the vet on a $1000, so she was a bad horse owner. I bet whoever boards the horse now watched this and cried, knowing they're going to get ripped off too.

Defendant couldn't get a hold of plaintiff, and per contract she called the vet of record, who refused to come out without the past due payment being paid.  When she picked up horse plaintiff had to pay $1584 for past due bills to defendant.   

Plaintiff has a nasty smirk every time JJ knocks something off the bill, but sorry it says in the contract what the defendant will charge for.  $1141 to plaintiff (wrong JJ.  Horses need ongoing vet care, farrier care, hoof trims, etc. and boarding bills for proper care are expensive, and defendant paid nothing.  When someone doesn’t pay board, the defendant still had to care for the horse, feed him, and everything else).  

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

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

Plaintiffs sold truck to man, and gave him the title, and cash payment was supposed to be $1200, with defendant doing work for them, for $4700 more.       Defendant performed some work, but didn't finish.    

Plaintiffs get $3400.

Second (2016)-

 Felon Gets Hustled-Plaintiff Shawn “Chris” Boykin loaned $4800 to defendant/ex-girlfriend Myesha Simms, so she could move into a house.  Plaintiff is suing for loan, lost wages, and some other stuff.   Plaintiff took a loan out with horribly high interest rates, so original loan was $2600 or so, and with interest is now almost $4,000 (If paid in total the interest plus loan will be $12539-usurious interest, at 137% interest rate).      This was from Speedy Loan, and loan is in collections.

Defendant took the loan, never paid anything back, and her excuse is she had bad credit from a divorce, and couldn't get a loan.   Defendant was trying to buy a house, and needed $4800, with her $2,000 in savings on a lease to buy.   Defendant never bought the house, and is still renting the home for $1400 a month.  $4800 was first and last month’s rent, and a security deposit.   This house in L.A., so how can you start to buy anything in L.A. for $4800?  Defendant also says she found out plaintiff is a convicted felon, so she didn't pay him back.     

JJ sends defendant to get copy of her lease.  Defendant lied about when she needed the money for the rental, the amount needed, and never paid back the money.   

 Plaintiff says the relationship with defendant wasn't intimate, but it was just a booty call situation.  

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

Plaintiff receives $0.

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

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

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

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

First (2014)-

Mother-Daughter Rift –Plaintiff /mother Debra Brown suing defendant/daughter Amber Wynn  over a car sale.  The litigants lived together at mother’s home, defendant suddenly moved out, and kept the car.   Defendant didn’t pay for the car for the seven months she lived with her mother, but car suddenly became a loan after daughter moved out.   Car was already paid for, and mother sold car to daughter for $5,000, but daughter says car was a gift.    

Plaintiff claims daughter suddenly moved out, but daughter says mother told her to get out. 

Before this, daughter was in an accident, her car was totaled, and she sued for injuries, and mother thought daughter would pay for the car when she received the settlement, minus attorney fees.

There was no sales contract for the mother’s car.  (This happened in Alpharetta, GA).

Daughter only received $1000 for the accident settlement, and JJ will either give the mother $1,000, or daughter can give $1,000.

JJ sends the litigants to go out of court and settle this.

Raccoon and Pit Bull Attack -Plaintiff/dog owner Robert Cherry and (husband) John Berge suing defendant/Pit Bull owner Patricia Pasco for vet bills.  Defendant says Pit Bull was having a bad day, he was attacked by a raccoon under her house that morning.    Then, hours later, both dogs were being walked on leashes.    Defendant says the two dogs were on the same sidewalk, going opposite directions, when defendant claims plaintiff Robert had the Chi on such a loose leash that the Chi was barking and charged defendant’s leashed Pit Bull (Boxer mix also), and so everything was plaintiff Robert’s fault.  Nice try of defendant to claim her dog was so sweet, and calm, and rolling around on the UPS store floor.

Plaintiff Robert says he did have a retractable leash, but never has it longer than long enough to have the Chi comfortable.     Then, Robert says the Pit Bull lunged across in front of other pedestrians, and picked the Chi up in it’s mouth.   Defendant seems upset that to rescue his dog, plaintiff was kicking and punching the Pit Bull.  

Vet bills were $6990, minus $500 defendant paid.

Defendant is still delusional in the hall-terview.

$5,000 to plaintiffs.

Pawned Albums -Plaintiff Michael Robles suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Tara Beougher for selling his album collection to pay the bills for his animals while plaintiff was in jail for a DUI. There were about 500 albums, and she sold them to a record store for $600.   Defendant also says his ‘short time’ in jail was about four months.  

Defendant claims plaintiff told her to do what she had to do to keep the animals safe.

Plaintiff went back to record store after his unfortunate incarceration ended, but he went back to jail after this.  Record store would only sell the records back to him at retail.

$600 to plaintiff.

Second (2013)-

Housemate Harassment -Plaintiff /landlord Robert Diller suing defendant/former room renter Tarara Wilson for rent and stolen property.   Plaintiff claims defendant took some of his property when she left, and left owing rent.     Defendant claims plaintiff wanted sex from her, and she was harassed.   Plaintiff wife starts laughing at defendant’s allegations.   Plaintiff claims defendant only paid $200 the last month.   Defendant claims when another tenant moved out, he stole a lot of her property, but she didn’t make a police report.    Then, in July defendant claims demands for sex started from plaintiff husband.   Defendant paid half rent in June, nothing in July, and moved back into the home in August. 

Then, plaintiff and wife married, and then went to Minnesota for a honeymoon.  He filed for eviction after defendant went to the women’s center claiming he was harassing her, demanding sex, and threatened her with a gun.   Police actually handcuffed plaintiff and searched for a gun, and didn’t find one.    Then, when they came back from the honeymoon, stepson’s room was broken into, and Xbox, Blackberry, and other items were missing from the house.    Defendant claims she knew nothing about the room burglary.

Plaintiff was filed unlawful detainer, and defendant was evicted, but not before she took everything she could.  This is the case where defendant claims stepson had strangers over, smoked in his room, and his mother says “he just arrived in town, he has no friends”.   Bet the kid is still teasing his mother about that.  

Plaintiff, wife and stepson moved out for a couple of weeks because of defendant’s thefts, and bizarre behavior

$2500 for plaintiff.  $1,000 rent, and $1500 property theft.

Child Support Fight  - Plaintiff Sirenade Navaez is suing defendant Jose Martinez (ex-boyfriend) for a motorcycle loan, and child support arrest bail, on two occasions.   Plaintiff claims she bought motorcycle, and defendant has it at his house, and has the title.  Defendant says he's never had a motorcycle, and doesn't have one, or the title.    Plaintiff says previous owner's name is still on the title.   

Defendant was bailed out by plaintiff for $500, for a child support bill of almost $10k.    Then defendant was bailed again for $1,000 for the second child support arrest.  Baby's mother, defendant's  ex-girlfriend, also changed the baby's name, because defendant was 'trouble' twice, and she didn't want the baby to have his name.    Defendant gave up his parental rights, after the second arrest and future child support is no longer his problem).     Defendant still owes the $10,000 arrears on the child support to the ex, but does not have to pay child support after the date he signed to give up his parental rights.    (The $1500 bail money went to the ex for the child support, so he only owes $8500). 

JJ tells plaintiff to go find the motorcycle, and sell it.  Defendant still swears that he doesn't have a motorcycle, and doesn't know where it is. 

Plaintiff receives $1500 bail money back.

First (2017)-

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

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

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

Plaintiff receives $220.   

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

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

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

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

$3800 to plaintiff.  

Second (2017)-

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

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

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

JJ dismisses plaintiff case, because she can't even get the man to answer simple questions about payments for rent, etc.   (This happened in Grand Island, NY and Niagara Falls, NY)

Plaintiff case dismissed, counter claim dismissed. 

(Hallterview is hysterical, plaintiff claims defendant is still married to someone else.  Plaintiff says defendant belongs on the Lifetime channel, and he appreciates she didn't kill him when the relationship ended.)  (I don’t like JJ hammering on plaintiff, he’s obviously not up to this).

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

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

$3540 for plaintiff

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

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

The plaintiff from the HOA case on 26 May on here was on The People's Court today, 2 June, suing a neighbor over a water leak from the second floor this time.

First (2013)-

When Childhood Friends Fight -Plaintiff Cieara Rogers suing defendant/former friend Shatan Hayes for the balance on Infiniti A5.  Plaintiff sold car to defendant, for taking over the payments, and plaintiff claims she loaned money to defendant, $1825.   Plaintiff repo’d the car.   Defendant claims both litigants, and the boyfriend drove the car, and defendant says she was supposed to pay expenses for when she drove the car, not take over payments.

Plaintiff repaired dents, mechanical stuff to car, and she wants defendant to pay registration, taxes, tickets, etc.  

Car was originally $1800.

Plaintiff went to sea (Merchant Marine), for several months, and defendant and boyfriend both drove the car.   Plaintiff repo’d car one time, and eventually let defendant have car again.  Then, defendant repo’d the car again, and is selling it on Craigslist.   Defendant says when plaintiff went to sea, that defendant was supposed to pick up cash from someone else, and pay the car note.   However, other person only had $150, but car note was $328, and defendant put money in plaintiff’s bank account.  However, plaintiff claims she couldn’t write a check for her car note. 

Defendant claims plaintiff gave her text messages with her account information, so defendant could make the deposit.  Plaintiff could have done a check and had it mailed to the car payment bank.  Plaintiff claims she loaned $1100 to defendant, and defendant was supposed to pay it back and make the mortgage payment.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Sci-Fi Costume Battle -Plaintiff Tristan Moriuchi suing defendant  Zach Kinnard over Star Wars mold maker for unreturned helmets, and costumes.   Both litigants are Star Wars fans.  Both have extensive Star Wars art and memorabilia collections.  Each litigant says the other has some of their properties, and defendant claims plaintiff owes him for making molds.    Because of trademark and copyright, no photos and memorabilia can be shown in court or on TV.   

JJ sends the two litigants outside for five minutes to try to come to a solution to their problems.   The litigants can’t come to an agreement, and JJ suggests they should talk to a mediator. 

Defendant claims he dropped the plaintiff’s property off in plaintiff’s carport.   There is no proof that defendant dropped the items off in plaintiff’s carport.  Defendant dropped off two helmet props.

There is no contract for the mold making.

JJ dismisses the case to go back to small claims locally, or a mediator.

Second (2013)-

Handcuffed! -Plaintiffs/former tenants Inshallah Muhammad (boyfriend) and Nicole Anderson (girlfriend) suing defendants/former landlords Shaynna Anderson-Brown and husband Gary Brown for property plaintiff claims landlord kept, false arrest or restraining order, and illegal eviction.  Defendants bought a house, a duplex, and rented part to plaintiffs and children.    The two women litigants are sisters.  

Then, 60 days before the second year of the lease, plaintiffs gave notice of move out.   However, new place wasn’t ready to move in, so plaintiff girlfriend went to pay the rent for another month, but defendants refused the rent.   Then plaintiff man, and defendants argued on the phone. So, the next day defendant husband applied for a restraining order.    Plaintiff girlfriend says defendants only offered her another lease for herself, and the kids, not the boyfriend.    

After the argument on the phone, defendant husband applied for a restraining order. Defendant husband claims plaintiff boyfriend alleges that plaintiff woman’s child was fathered by defendant husband.   

There was a new lease with plaintiff girlfriend, and boyfriend took off in the middle of the night.  So, at this point when the new lease with plaintiff girlfriend took effect.   Plaintiff boyfriend was not on the lease, so plaintiff boyfriend’s eviction wasn’t illegal.

Defendants claim for house damages.   However, the eviction was heard in court, and JJ won’t adjudicate that again.   Defendants should have claimed in housing court for the damages, but they didn’t.   Plaintiff boyfriend claims his father’s stuff was in an old car on the lawn, and defendants just threw his stuff on the trailer, and destroyed it.   Plaintiffs were back together, but apparently they break up and reconcile a lot.  

Plaintiff woman says she called the police when boyfriend took off with the 2-year-old.  

Plaintiff case dismissed for eviction, restraining order/false arrest, and property damages.    Defendants say that move out was in March, and plaintiff man didn’t come to see about his property until May.

This case was heard in housing court, and again the landlords got screwed over. Settlement in housing court was defendant would let plaintiff get his things, and pay plaintiff $1,000 to move out.  

Defendants didn’t address damages with housing court, and didn’t, so that’s dismissed too. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and plaintiff told to sue the defendant in local small claims for the $1,000 collection. 

Bad Brother? -Plaintiff/car owner Danielle Jones and sister of defendant suing defendant/brother of plaintiff Dennis Jones for wrecking her car he borrowed, and was driving in bad weather, and damaging her furniture when he helped her move.    Defendant claims he said the weather is bad, and he asked his sister if her car was insured.   Surprise!  Car wasn’t insured, and nobody ever asked about car being insured either. 

Broken furniture during move is dismissed, they call it an accident, and as her brother said, “she should have hired movers to do the move if she wanted perfection.”

Car was a lease, and there was no insurance, which is a big no-no. She did not come to court with clean hands.  Brother was driving, fell asleep at the wheel, and he hit another car.   Defendant paid the other driver off already.   Damages for plaintiff’s car was just under $3400.

Plaintiff gets $3,000.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Second (2017)-

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

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

Plaintiff says he told male defendant it was for a grow op., and it was going to be on a friend's property (in Paris, California), friend told plaintiff to get off his property.   (Plaintiff was going to grow pot for his own use, so he didn't have to buy it.   He obviously used way too much of everything.   Plaintiff hasn't blinked yet, very odd).   Plaintiff says trailer didn't have valid registration.  Defendants’ moved trailer to friend of plaintiff’s property, but the friend told plaintiff he couldn’t keep the trailer there.  

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

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

Horrible Tenant-Plaintiff Danita Anderson landlady suing former tenant/defendant Lavelle Trammell (yes, his first and last name rhyme) for unpaid rent, and damages, after she evicted him.    There is a signed lease.   Defendant paid some months in full, but some months less, and claims he has a seasonal job, and didn’t have to pay his full rent to plaintiff.    Defendant keeps swaying, and he's making me sick, but worse, JJ is getting sea sick too.     

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

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

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

Intersection Collision-Plaintiff Michael Tucker suing defendant Anna Gonzalez Dudareva for a car accident.  Defendant did not have insurance on the day of the accident.  Plaintiff was at stop sign, saw defendant in the lefthand lane, but when he turned right onto the road, defendant switched lanes in the middle of the intersection, and nailed his car.     

JJ isn't getting the point, the woman didn't signal, and changed lanes in an intersection, and then swooped right hitting plaintiff's car, and defendant didn’t have insurance.    JJ says plaintiff should have waited for defendant to go past.   (Bad decision by JJ.   Switching lanes in the middle of intersection, or without signaling is wrong).

Case dismissed.

First (2014)-

Wedding Tragedy -Plaintiffs Ait Hakimi (wife) and (husband) Ali Ranjbar suing DJ/defendant Farzad Khorshidian over cancelling their wedding after a miscarriage.   Plaintiffs want their money back, $600.    The plaintiffs cancelled five days before the wedding/reception.  Plaintiff’s say entire fee was $1800, but are suing for $2500.   How sad, miscarriage was at 5 months.  

Defendant wants the remainder of his fee, $1200 more.  

Plaintiff wife says they postponed the wedding, but they actually had a courthouse wedding civil ceremony because the Persian ceremony isn’t legal.     They already had the civil ceremony, and scheduled the Persian ceremony, and reception for two months later.

There is nothing in the contract about Act of God, or other emergencies.    Plaintiff wife says the other vendors worked with them and gave extensions, but DJ didn’t.   However, six months later, wife wanted to reschedule the Persian wedding and reception.   The wedding was rescheduled a year later, but defendant wasn’t available. 

JJ enforces the contract, no refund.   Plaintiff case dismissed.

Payback Time for Ex-Girlfriends -Plaintiff Katie Niman suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Heather Smith over thousands of dollars in unauthorized credit card charges.   The litigants lived together in defendant’s cousin’s home, and plaintiff paid part of the bills.  

Plaintiff gave credit card with a zero balance to defendant, but had to repay the money to plaintiff.  Plaintiff confronted defendant when the first bill arrived for $1288, defendant only repaid $300. 

Second month $900, and no payment.   So, total was $2108, after the $300 payment by defendant.

Plaintiff gets $2100.     

Second (2013)-

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

Owners told groomer to keep the dog cool, and told her again on drop off, at 8 a.m.     This was in Holbrook, MA, and the air conditioner was not on, defendant claims it was only 73 degrees that day, and a/c wasn’t needed.     Defendant didn’t do the work, her employees did.  The two employees that worked on the dog aren’t in court.    

Defendant claims dog was bathed with cool water, and never overheated.   Then, in the tub Sammy was unhappy, and on the table for the blow-dry, Sammy was in distress.     Then, plaintiff called to see how the dog grooming was progressing, and groomer told him dog was fine, and would be ready soon. 

Defendant blames the collapse on a preexisting condition.   

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

Plaintiffs get paid for vet bills, $1681 

(This is so sad, Mr. Fantasia has died, but JJ appearance is mentioned in the obituary

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

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

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

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

Boss Steals Worker's Car-Plaintiff Ellamae Perez suing former boss/car seller Larry McDonald for the car he repo'd.   She paid $2500 down, and was to make bi-weekly payments of $100 until car paid off.   Plaintiff skipped six payments, defendant repo'd car.    JJ say repo was legit.   

However, defendant didn't tell the plaintiff car was repo'd by him, so she reported it stolen, and police impounded the car.    JJ will not give impound, since defendant didn't tell plaintiff he had car.   Defendant also knew plaintiff was going to be fired soon.   Defendant says plaintiff had her insurance cancelled four times while she had the Jeep. 

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

Gimme Back My Camera-Plaintiff Nadine Englund, and defendant/ex-fiance, Jonathan Kingsmore,  were shacking up, and she gave him an older camera in August 2016.  They were actually engaged for a while.     He moved in a month after they met, and he was still married, but separated from the wife.   Then they had a fight, and plaintiff went to drop him off at ex-wife and kid's place for Christmas.   Defendant asked to borrowed the new professional camera owned by professional photographer plaintiff, to take family pictures.    Defendant reconciled with ex-wife, and kept the professional camera.    The stereo and surround sound he had since 2014, was installed in plaintiff's home.  Defendant decides he doesn't need the counter claim property. 

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

Second (2017)-

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

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

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

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

Agree with everything JJ said about him.  Interesting other people have gotten 5,000 just for false restraining orders and she only got attorney fees.

I was thinking about this, I suspect that a bank (especially if submitting the check through an ATM) would accept and not notice, and if the defendant is as much of a jerk as I think, then he could raise a stink about the invalid check. Even better, telling his mother to just "change" the check date from "9/31" to "8/31" because it would be so easy would set up his ex wife for an accusation that she had deliberately altered his check in a fraudelent way. Maybe a bit far fetched, but I wouldn't put this type of deviousness past him. Then again, I am not sure he is smart enough to have come up with this scheme.

First (2014)-

Motocross Bulldog Attack -Plaintiff Shannon Miller suing defendants/bulldog owners, Jennifer and Michael McPherson over vet bills after an attack by defendant’s English Bulldog on plaintiff’s dog.  Plaintiff’s dog Casey, is a tiny Maltese-Poodle cross.  They were all at a motocross event, and plaintiff’s dog was at her camper.       Defendant’s Old English Bulldog got loose and attacked little, defenseless Casey.  Motocross viewers go from their campsites, about 100 yards to watch the kids’ motocross events.    Plaintiff started grilling, then some commotion started, then some woman was hitting a dog over the head with a folded umbrella.  Casey was tied to the trailer staircase, when the attack happened Casey was gripped in defendants’ dog’s mouth, and Casey broke his collar when he was attacked, until the Good Samaritan hit the defendants’ dog to get Casey loose. 

Defendants’ car was across the pathway from plaintiff’s parking site with her trailer.   After plaintiff’s dog escaped and collapsed next to plaintiff, defendant’s dog was in their Yukon.    (My question is defendants’ dog an American or other Bulldog called a Bully, or is it an Old English?     Defendant’s witness (a friend of defendants for many years) says plaintiff’s dog was running around loose with another loose small dog.    Witness is the one who hit the defendants’ dog to get him to let the little dog go.     

So, JJ is believing the defendants’ long term friend’s allegations that the little dogs were running loose, and ran right into the Bully?   Of course, after the attack plaintiff’s dog was off leash.  I disagree with JJ’s decision.     Plaintiff’s dog’s jaw is now gone.

Case dismissed. 

Odd Man Out -Plaintiff  Michael Tennant, Joseph Scott Stebner, and  Garrett Rice suing defendant/former roommate Alex Elandsen over a broken lease, security deposit, and an electric bill.   Defendant moved with less than 60-day’s notice.  There were three and later four roommates.    Defendant signed a 1 year lease, and moved out shortly after that.    The other three roommates want defendant to pay his share of the rent, for November and December, stopping in January when the  replacement roommate moved in.

Defendant’s portion of the rent was $446 a month for 2 months, minus the security deposit paid by defendant.   Defendant gave notice on September 13th, and moved on October 2th, so notice was 19 days.   

$900 minus $300 security, so $600 to plaintiffs for rent. 

Second (2013)-

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

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

$1700 to plaintiff.

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

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

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

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

First (2017)-

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

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

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

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

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

Case dismissed. 

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

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

Plaintiff says after defendant wrecked the car

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

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

$450 for defendant, nothing for plaintiff.

Second (2017)-

Dad Left in the Dark-Plaintiffs Annie Lindekugel (mother) and Austin Coppleman (son) are, suing defendant sister's ex-husband David Chakua, and Kiara Davis (plaintiff’s sister) for child care costs, and travel costs for the kids.   Plaintiffs had custody of sister's kids, and lived in Minnesota.   Defendant ex-husband lives in North Dakota, and defendant woman now lives in Texas.   Defendant sister, is mother of the kids, and lived in Texas, and CPS was involved.   Sister /plaintiff took custody of children, and paid for the air fare for the kids (ages 11, 9, and 7).   

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

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

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

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

$700 to plaintiff for the airfare. 

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

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

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

$5000 to plaintiff.

[Jaded]

I was watching old episodes from the first few years of JJ on the Courtroom channel through the Pluto TV app. There was one episode where an adult film actress named Kylie Ireland sued the company she signed a contract with which never followed up afterwards to book any movies. Except in one case where she was called the day before one was about to start filming where she found out she would have been replacing an actress who dropped out.

Kylie ended up winning her case which was the max amount that could be awarded. JJ was nice and respectful towards her too. It was nice to see that there was no big deal made about the industry that was the core subject of the case. At the end of the episode during the hallway commentary Kylie made sure to point out that adult actresses weren't dumb and stupid. The guy representing the film company which at that time was called Sin City and his name was Mel Blank was mostly respective towards Kylie in his testimony and hallway commentary. The part where he really annoyed me though was how he went on about how it was outside marketing like club appearances and whatnot was how adult stars made their money like it was enough to excuse his company for breaching their contract. 

During the same viewing time there was a whole episode about a guy suing Devine Brown (the sex worker who was caught with Hugh Grant) claiming to be her manager. 

I'm watching now since I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep. There was a case involving a drummer named Robert Williams who sued Johnny Rotten's (John Lydon) for lost wages and assault.

Family Fight Over Will -Plaintiff Todd Biggs suing defendant Michael Proctor (his late sister’s widower) over a car inherited from their plaintiff’s late mother.    After the death of a mother and her daughter, family members fight over their car.   Defendant is living in the late mother’s homebut paying no rent, he should be paying 1/3 of going rate to the older brother, and the widower.   Plaintiff ‘s mother died, and left the sister and plaintiff the car.    Plaintiff turned car over to his sister, and she drove it for 18 months, then sister died.  

Car was registered in late sister’s name, and the defendant brother-in-law.   Everything was divided in thirds by late mother’s trust, excluding the car.    Oldest brother was the executor and trustee, but not the car.   There were three siblings, the older brother (executor), plaintiff, and the late sister.    Plaintiff witness older brother relinquished his third of the car to plaintiff and sister.  

JJ thinks sister’s share should pass to defendant/sister’s widower, so plaintiff gets nothing.   

Motorcycle Mistake! -Plaintiff Anette Messinger suing defendant Dustin Altom over a loan taken out to buy a motorcycle, but loan is not repaid.   Plaintiff took out a personal loan for $5,000, claims defendant never paid anything on the loan, but defendant claims he paid her back.

Defendant claims he never saw the title, and can’t register the motorcycle.    JJ tells plaintiff to sell the motorcycle, and then plaintiff can sue for the shortfall.    

Single Mom Breakdown -Plaintiff Francine Woodford suing defendant Shawn Olson for a $4,010 loan to start his business.   Single mom sues former friend over a loan to start his business. Plaintiff kept buying more things for defendant, but he never repaid anything.

Case dismissed.

Second (2013)-

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

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

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

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

JJ dismisses everything.

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

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

Defendant wanted the money for a car loan.   JJ wants a copy of the check that plaintiff gave to defendant for $4700, bank records say nothing but the amount.   Plaintiff gave two checks $3,000, plus $2,300, and defendant paid $600 back, leaving $4,700.  Plaintiff couldn’t get copies of the checks (it’s a school “bank”, and they closed today).

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

First (2017)-

Salon Thievery?! -Plaintiff Valarie Fails suing defendants Erica Taniehill and Larissa Lampkin over a failed partnership, possession of property and lost wages.   When plaintiff showed up at work, doors were locked.    The three litigants went into a salon business.    Plaintiff once was employer of the two defendants.   Then, the three decided to go into partnership in a larger location, and Ms. Taniehill was the only one on the lease.    Taniehill was there at the shop the most hours, but Ms. Fails claims she was at the salon all of the time.   Ms. Fails left after a few months.   The two defendants are still in business at the salon.

One day plaintiff came to work, the lights were off, then a couple of weeks later the plumbing was messed up, and the defendants didn’t tell her until she found out the problems by herself.

Plaintiff says everything in the salon was hers, except the sofa.   

Defendants are counter claiming for breach of contract, but there was no signed contract to breach.  Defendants want almost $5000, for pedicure spas, and other items that they claim, and get the chairs back from plaintiff’s back yard.  

JJ will prepare an order for plaintiff to pick up her salon furnishings with in five days, with a police standby.   Plaintiff gets bar stools, various other furnishings.  Plaintiff gets $ for a couple of furnishings.

You’re an Idiot! -Plaintiff Alison Williams-Palmer suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Jordan Gilliam over an unpaid loan, $800.   Defendant says he did say he would pay the loan back, but lied about it, and never was going to pay.

Second (2016)-

Engagement Ring Confusion-Plaintiff Sherman Hawthorne suing defendant Lucille Sampe for return of his engagement ring.  Engagement was broken, and defendant claims she gave the rings back to plaintiff.  Plaintiff gave defendant eviction paperwork, and defendant finally left.   Plaintiff's daughter filed elder abuse paperwork against defendant.    Defendant claims she was escorted out of the home, after police came after reports defendant was threatening the plaintiff with a knife.  (I love the plaintiff's suit, and the matching accessories).   

 Defendant says she went to dinner with plaintiff (3 to 6 months after the eviction), but they weren't engaged, so the ring was just a gift.   Then, plaintiff claims defendant blocked his phone number, and he wanted ring back again.     Plaintiff said defendant only could keep the rings if they married. 

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

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

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

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

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