Little Dog vs. Little Brat?  -Plaintiff Ease Owyeung is suing dog owner/defendant for his son's  Joseph Braff injuries, plus pain and suffering.  This is the precocious kid (Wyld Blue Owyeung) who was bitten by a Bichon Frise .  .    The defendant father is a model shop supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic, some kind of movie industry person, as I recall from previous airings of this.   This happened in San Rafael, CA. 

Kid was riding his bike at the off leash dog park, and the defendant and his witness claim the kid constantly harassed the dogs in the park.    The defendant has a transcript from the dangerous dog hearing, and brought one witness. However, JJ won't admit the transcript with eyewitness testimony.  I don't see why not, because it was sworn testimony.  

Defense witness  Larry Goldberg, testifies that he's seen the child running wild, and poking, and teasing dogs, but didn't witness the dog bite incident.    Unfortunately, the witness saw other teasing by the kid, and of the dogs on other occasions, so he has nothing relevant to say.     The defendant says the kid actually rode very close to the dog with his bike, and almost hit the dog. 

The plaintiff father's smirking about JJ's rulings are infuriating.    

 Even though the plaintiff will get his out-of-pocket fees, I think the kid is as big a problem as the defendant says.     

 JJ rules dog was not under owner control, and owner has to pay $250.  Defendant says kid has poked dogs in the eyes, and other acts, unsupervised by the father at the dog park.  

My question is why dog park isn't fenced off?  And why the kid is running around a dog park?   

$250 in medical bills to plaintiff.  

DJ Disappearing Act-Plaintiff Luke Baja suing defendant/DJ Jason Williams for not showing up at his wedding.   DJ costs $600, and was paid in advance.   DJ has a ton of excuses for not showing up at the wedding, but they're all pathetic.    

Plaintiff gets $600.

Collision Caught on Tape-Plaintiff Heath Baron suing defendant  Lacey Tyler for car damages, and medical bills.  Plaintiff  was making a left turn, and defendant was going straight, but getting ready to go into the right turn lane.   When plaintiff made a left turn, defendant hit plaintiff’s car.   

Insurance companies said it was 50% fault by both sides.    There is a video of the accident, that shows the impact.    (Plaintiff's pony tail is fluffier than JJ's).    JJ says the plaintiff was more at fault, than defendant. because he didn't make sure his way was clear before he turned.    Plaintiff only was paid 50% of his damages, so couldn't fix his car to the pre-accident condition. Plus, plaintiff didn't have medical insurance, so wants his medical bills paid.  

Plaintiff turned left in front of defendant.  I don't see how the accident was defendant's fault since he was turning left.  But plaintiff claims defendant was driving over the bike lane, and speeding.    I agree that defendant was driving in a non-driving lane, it actually was a bike lane.   Police report (CHP officer on a motorcycle, so Jon and Ponch from Chips), says defendant was driving too fast, and in an illegal lane for driving.   

Plaintiff couldn't see the defendant, because of cars next to her blocking his view.    

Plaintiff case dismissed.  He can pay for his own car. 

Show Car Craziness -Plaintiff/car owner Jason Rice suing defendant Kileigh Carson for damages to his Delorean show car at a car show.   Defendant was drunk, riding on a motorized scooter, and hit plaintiff's DeLorean at a car show. 

(the hall-terview with plaintiff is hysterical, with lots of Back to the Future comments)

Plaintiff gets $813 in damages.

Child Abusing Animals?!-Plaintiff suing defendant for injuries to her dog, when the defendant dumped her kid on plaintiff, and plaintiff claims the boy hurt her dog.   Defendant claims her son was thrilled to see the plaintiff's four year old daughter, and the little boy is nine years old .     Since when does a nine year old care about a four year old.     When plaintiff was taking her four year old to the potty, the little boy claims the dog got hurt, and had several stories, plaintiff claims the boy kicked her dog in the head.    

I think they should change Anthony's name to Damien (from the Omen), I wouldn't allow little Anthony near a little kid, or animals.    I don't trust Anthony or his mother as far as I can throw him.

Plaintiff found out from the defendant, at the vet's office that Anthony threw a cat out of an upstairs window, and the defendant follows this with the statement "But the cat didn't die".     I agree with the plaintiff, if she had been told about the cat incident before little Anthony wanted to come to her house, he wouldn't have been allowed in her house near her dog, or her daughter.

Anthony's mother has 2 pit bulls, and 3 cats, and fortunately they're apparently big enough to get away from Anthony.

Anthony's mother also needs a double process on her hair if she wants to go blonde, not single process leaving her orange.

Plaintiff gets vet bills paid.

Family Fiasco!-Plaintiff claims the defendant, her older son got upset when she raised the rent from $300 a month to $450.    Younger brother got upset, and anxious, so plaintiff wanted to take younger son away in car.    Plaintiff claims the defendant stuck his head through the open window in younger son's face, plaintiff told him to stop it, she backed up, and he threw a water bottle, and shattered the windshield.    Also, defendant and his girlfriend lived together at the plaintiff's house, and she didn't pay rent until she got a job, because "no one asked her to pay rent".    Plaintiff mom claims defendant damaged TV, and house, and there is a police report for criminal mischief.    

Defendant claims when the mother backed up it was over his foot.   Defendant claims the plaintiffs swiped the family food, instead of supplying their own food to get reduced rent.  I bet the neighbors love living next to this family.

Plaintiff gets $218 for windshield.

Native American Reunion Fail!; Chihuahua Amputee

5 p.m. episodes-

Pool Feud- Plaintiffs/home buyers are suing defendant / home seller Buffie Diebler for replacement of a pool liner for $2200.   Defendant from Ponca City, OK sold a house as is, that turned out to have a defective above ground pool lining.    It sold during the winter, and when the new owners uncovered the pool it turned out the liner had a big tear, and needed to be replaced.   

However, the defendant’s husband had called a pool company in 2015 about a new liner, but did not replace it, lied on the disclosure form, and her husband actually got an estimate on a new liner.     The new owners win the pool liner money, but since the show pays for it, the idiot defendant just gets embarrassed on TV a little, which was fine with Buffie Diebler, who is a total jerk.     The idiot defendant is such a liar.        The defendant's husband got a written estimate after they listed the house, and before they lied on the disclosure, and the husband signed that the pool was in fine working condition.     

Plaintiff gets $2500 for the pool liner.

Raise Your Hand If You Were Drinking-A stupid car wreck that the one driver swears happened in a way that would require stunt drivers from a movie.  Everyone involved in the accident, except one plaintiff had been drinking.  However, the defendant wife says the plaintiff woman was drinking a lot.  Plaintiff pulled into her driveway, and claims defendant pulled next to her truck and hit it.   The defendant drive has such a stupid explanation for the accident that no one would ever believe it.    Defendant also lied about how the accident happened to insurance company, so claim was disallowed. 

Plaintiff didn't put through her insurance because of her $1,000 deductible, and she receives $1,000 to pay that.

This whole situation was appalling. The mother (who is a school counselor of all things!) makes excuses for her son even though animal cruelty in young children is a significant indicator of potentially serious mental issues. While being careful to remember that correlation is not the same causation, history of childhood animal cruelty shows up in many if not most violent psychopaths. Rather than get her son some help, she is enabling him by making excuses. I feel sorry for the son and more so for the people who will be around him as he grows up.

To me the first red flag was when 9-year-old Anthony was interested in playing with the 4-year-old child.  That was bizarre to me.    I'm glad plaintiff/mother won't ever have Anthony around her kid again.    

Since this show is an older rerun, probably filmed in 2014 or 2015, little Anthony should be 18 or older by now, I'm worried for all of us.

4 p.m. episodes-   

Females, Filth and Liquor?!  -Plaintiffs/former tenants Sofia Palmer and Madeleine Toll  suing former landlord/defendant Dai Leon for their security deposit back, $2500, and landlord actually wants over $3,745 more for damages.    Defendant rented only to college students, since 2009, and a month later house was for sale.      Defendant rented for five years to college students in groups, and had to renovate for sale.     Tenants before plaintiffs rented the house, was a group of five students, which is the normal number of tenants for the house.  House was empty for three years, remodeled in 2009, and then rented continuously as student housing for 8 years.  House was bought for $660,000 in 2009, and sold for $750,000 or so in 2014.

Landlady has zero proof of when damage happened, and when yard was trashed.   The only receipt is one with number written in later.    Plaintiff's mother took photos on move in, but landlady has no photos of move in condition, or move out.  

JJ wants to see improvements and repairs done from 2009 to when plaintiffs moved out, only one receipt that is suspicious looking.   House rented for just under $3900 a month.

$2000 for plaintiffs. 

Trucker's Sin of Omission! -Plaintiff Stephanie Sias suing defendant/ ex-boyfriend Javier “Jose” Lopez (married to someone else) for repayment of the loan that sent him to trucking school.  Plus, defendant was supposed to be living with a cousin, and apparently that was really his wife.   Defendant borrowed $1400 for rent, and repaid very little. Next loan was $600 for his daughter, and other family.  He owes $1000.  Plaintiff put a title loan on her car, $1100 for his truck driving school.   Money came from defendant's student loans, and later a title loan on her car.   So, he still owes $2100.

Defendant claims they were only friends, not romantic, and the loans were gifts. 

Case dismissed, because plaintiff had no expectation of being repaid.

Front Porch from Hell ; Unfit for Each Other Roommates 

5 p.m. episodes-     

Bad Teen Driver Crashes into School! -Plaintiff/mother and truck owner Amy Thompson  is suing defendants/parents of unlicensed driver Lynn Burlison and ex-wife Tiffany Burlison, parents of  Haley Burlison for damages to a school that defendant hit with plaintiff’s truck, suing for court maximum of $5,000.    The unlicensed driver took a $10,000 chunk out of her school when she crashes a friend's truck into it.       

The video is horrific, and I wonder how fast the driver was going when she hit the overhang posts at the school?  Haley is lucky to be alive.  Another factor is we all found it hard to believe that the plaintiff son/truck driver is really all that clueless about the defendant teen driving his truck.   

 He let her drive it before, and his mother said that she wasn't to drive it again.    I remember the defendant's parents were not letting her near their cars, or get a license, so I suspect she had more than one occasion of bad driving illegally.     I think the defendant teen let his friend drive.  

Plaintiffs (parents, and teen pickup truck driver) claim defendant teen (Haley) took the truck without permission, was speeding, and the video shows the high-speed collision between the truck and the support pillars for the school porch overhang.    It's a miracle no one was killed.  

The school damage was just under $10k.    Plus, the truck was $7500, and totaled.   I don't believe the defendant son and friend that Haley  was only supposed to get her backpack out of the truck, and not drive it.   The plaintiff mom is a fool.  Haley claims the plaintiff teen said she could drive, but not go fast.   I believe Haley, and not the plaintiff teen. 

"I wouldn't believe any of the teens involved, on either side, if their tongues were notarized", quote from Judge Marilyn.

Defendant's counter suit is for the $5k to apply to the $10k school damages.     The accident video is horrific.  The plaintiff believes everything her son says.  The plaintiff's witness is also a poor liar, and absolutely is trying to get his friend out of trouble.   

No one gets any money, and they deserve nothing.   Both sets of parents are really ticked, tough.  I bet that the plaintiff son has another equally huge pickup too.   (Some places I've lived a lot of the teens have pickup trucks, and I bet the giant front bumper helped save the driver too).

4 p.m. episodes-

Fight of the Goonies' Fanatics   -Plaintiff/ sister (lived in room, paid rent)  Brianna Witbeck is suing defendant/ sister(homeowner) Megan Bucholz for plaintiff's property, and loss of her backpack, lost at a Goonies' festival.   

 Defendant put the plaintiff's  backpack at the parking area at the Goonies' festival.   When they had a dust up at the festival, defendant dumped plaintiff's knapsack next to the car, and defendant left sister behind, .    By the time plaintiff got back home, her property was outside the house.    Sister had  come home and had her witness/friend move the plaintif sister's stuff outside on the covered, gated patio.

Plaintiff was a tenant, not a guest.  

Defendant claims damages from sister living there.  

 Plaintiff gets $320 in rent back, plus $150, equals $470.  Defendant's ridiculous claim dismissed. 

 

Teen Flies Off the Handle-Plaintiff Kamal Fleming suing defendant Vonteris Mitchell for ripping his car door handle off, and throwing it in his face.   I believe every word the plaintiff said.   

Plaintiff gets $302.

Dog Mauling Caught on Tape-Plaintiff /small dog owner Stephanie Rosenquist suing defendants/ neighbors (father)  Eldred and (daughter) Liedenschel (I didn't get the names) for vet bills, pain and suffering, and harassment after plaintiff dog escaped their fence, and defendant's dog  mauled plaintiff's Jack Russell terrier.    There is video of the attack.   Jeff Hamilton is plaintiff witness, and plaintiff's boyfriend.  He's the one with eight surveillance cameras around his trailer. 

Video shows plaintiff's dog escaping the fence, wandering on the road, going around the defendant's trailer, back onto the road, where the attacking dog attacked the plaintiff's dog.      This is the trailer park case where the plaintiffs had eight security cameras.  Plaintiff and witness claim defendant daughter stepped outside of her trailer, looked at the fight and went right back inside her trailer. 

 Plaintiff's dog was euthanized from injuries the same day.    Defendant dog was going to be quarantined for 14 days, and was put down later, because the defendants couldn't afford the fines, and bills.     Defendant's are counter suing for having to euthanize their dog.   

Case dismissed.   

Cruising Online Crush -Plaintiff Phillip Hubbard III suing former girlfriend/defendant Patricia Marumbio for payment for her part of a cruise.  Plaintiff and defendant met on Plenty of Fish, and booked a cruise together.   

Plaintiff is suing for cruise expenses, because after the refund/cancellation period, they broke up, and defendant never paid for the cruise.  Defendant claims she thought they should be exclusive, but was upset that plaintiff didn't want to be exclusive.  Defendant claims they never discussed her paying her way. 

Plaintiff gets nothing.   He had no expectation of repayment. 

5 p.m. episodes-

Cheated Out of $20K?!-  Plaintiff Starlina Todd suing defendant Brandon Walbridge for for damaging her home, costing her money when she sold the house when the lease-to-own fell through. Plaintiff was selling home to defendant on a rent to own arrangement for $135,000.     Two years later plaintiff inspected the house.  Plaintiff discovered that defendant made changes  to house, (new sliders in garage, all yard grass was gone, added a fire pit, damaged hot tub, three trees gone).   

 So, plaintiff was going to raise rent/purchase to $1200 a month, and raising the price to $175,000.     This is a total contract violation, by the plaintiff.   Plaintiff claims defendant's agreement expired in June, the purchase of the house was put off until August of that year.   

Instead of buying the plaintiff's house, with the price increase, the defendants went out house hunting, put in an offer two weeks later, for $235,000 on another house. 

House was put up for sale for $135,000, plaintiff blames the price on the former renters.   However, no listing available saying that.  Plaintiff's house sold for $135,500.   

Plaintiff gets nothing, and sold house for $500 more than original price.   Plaintiff is glaring at JJ, and yelling at her.  Defendant's counter claim dismissed too. 

 

Cyclists Don't Own the Road!-Plaintiff/driver Jeff Helke suing defendant/bike rider for damages from defendant Timothy Robert-Fitzgerald hitting his car with a bicycle.    Defendant claims plaintiff threatened him, and stole his lunch. 

Plaintiff suing bicyclist for car hit by bike in parking lot.   Plaintiff can barely walk or breathe, so I doubt he was that scary after the accident.     

Bicyclist didn't really stop after accident (bike ran into plaintiff's car), left the accident, and went home.   After the accident defendant ran home, locked the door, and claims plaintiff tried to break into his house.   Then, defendant called the police.     

Unless the plaintiff deteriorated a lot after the accident, he is barely able to walk or breathe.     Narrator is really having fun with defendant's introduction, about how the plaintiff stole the defendant's lunch.   

Defendant tried to charge the bench, and Byrd was not amused.   

$10 for plaintiff for damage.    Defendant told to stuff his counter claim, and I am interested in the "he stole my lunch" incident, but it never came up after the defendant's counter claim.

4 p.m. episodes-     

Restraining Order Scam?-Plaintiff Mark Plombon suing defendant Donna Anderson for return or value of property left behind when plaintiff moved out, and the value of a Crown Victoria.    Plaintiff hit hard times, and gave his Crown Vic title to girlfriend/defendant.   Defendant bought car, and moved in with plaintiff, leaving daughter at defendant's old house.     

Plaintiff only lived with defendant for one month, and he turned over the Crown Vic title to defendant, because he was liquidating assets, and wanted to sell car.    Plaintiff gave the title to defendant in return for five month’s rent at the defendant's rental house they were living in.    Defendant gave car to her brother.    The two litigants were shacked up while all of this happened, and previously.   After a month, she booted him out.  

Plaintiff moved out, and defendant got restraining order, so plaintiff couldn't get any of his belongings, log bed, 42" TV, and other stuff.  Defendant claims plaintiff and witness were allowed to get all of his stuff even after the restraining order. Defendant also says that she would drop the restraining order application against plaintiff, but didn't until later.     

Defendant wanted a permanent protection order against the plaintiff, but it's actually an Emergency order, and the permanent order was granted, but defendant dropped the order two months later.   Counter claim by defendant is because plaintiff bad mouthing her business ruined it, because he was saying mean things about her and her business.   Counterclaim dismissed. 

Defendant claims plaintiff and his witness picked everything up.   

$2,000 for car value to plaintiff.     

 

Cologne Loan or Theft?!-Plaintiff Clinton Hill suing defendant Kyle King for theft of personal property.     Though they didn't live together plaintiff claims defendant stole his cologne, and watches, among other stuff.     Plaintiff claims defendant stole two watches from plaintiff's apartment.     

Plaintiff claims defendant has a past criminal history.

Plaintiff receives $65 for one watch. 

Teenage Attention Span Fail!-Plaintiff (missed the name) is suing defendants/ neighbors Angela Torres (mother), and Alyssa Harris her 20-year-old daughter, when she rear-ended him at a stop sign.    Defendant driver was uninsured, and claims the plaintiff stopped right in the street, and backed up into her. 

The plaintiff has a huge old Jeep truck, bigger than a F-350, military vehicle, and was stopped at a stop sign when he was hit from behind by the defendant.

$1,500 to the plaintiff.   Bills were $2912, plus storage and towing. I think he should have received the entire $3k.

5 p.m. episodes-

Bitter About Boy Toy!?-Plaintiff Cynthia Busch suing defendant/ex bought Matthew Humphrey a camper, and an ATV, but wants them back after the breakup, to be paid for a trip to the Ozarks. 

The defendant is so far from a boy toy, that the title of this episode is ridiculous.  However, defendant refers to himself as a boy toy.  When JJ tells defendant that he's nothing resembling a boy toy, and a man behind him in the audience is stiffling laughs.     Another desperate foolish woman.   

Plaintiff received an accident settlement, and spent it on camper for love muffin, and an ATV.    Defendant claims he sold the ATV to a friend, and JJ doesn't believe him, and says she wants the name and number of the 'buyer', or love muffin is walking back to Missouri.   

Plaintiff gets camper and ATV, but no money.  

Handsome Lawyer Remodel Fail!- Plaintiff/lawyer Paul Overett suing defendant/designer Benjamin Bourque for $2750 for a wood feature wall that was never installed.    

Lawyer hired unqualified designer to do expensive remodel to his office.    (By the way, lawyer was OK, but not as handsome as he thinks.   I believe he was a personal injury lawyer).   They met while defendant worked at coffee shop, and furniture retail.    There's a lot that was unsaid in this case too.   Lawyer was paying $39 an hour for design services, and paid $3000 plus.   

$2750 is a deposit for a wood feature wall (materials), defendant claims he bought materials,   Wood was never delivered or installed, and lawyer claims the invoice is phony, and JJ is going to call.     The invoice has the company name misspelled on the stationary, so it's obviously a total fake.    JJ's call results in a fictitious company, (Demiter v. Demeter), with no record of his transaction.   

$2750 for lawyer/plaintiff.

4 p.m. episodes-   

Siberian Husky Custody Fight!-Plaintiffs / ex wife Anna Smith suing defendant/father Henry Hammond for sole custody of a dog their teen bought.  Plaintiff son paid $500 for a Husky puppy.   

Mother (ex-wife of defendant) is suing ex husband for the puppy, and punitive damages.   Puppy went with the son, when he moved between the two houses.    Then, son wanted to stay with Mom full time, and Dad kept the dog.  Son Henry Hammond is 13.  Son earned money starting when he was 11, mowing lawns, helping neighbors at garage sales, and other chores.  

Plaintiff's witness is her current husband, defendant witness is his fiance. 

Defendant claims ex wife reneged on deal to pay for dog, son paid $500, and parents paid $100 each to equal the $700 total cost for the puppy.   Dog was bought from a breeder, for $700, with $500 from son, and $100 from each parent.  Henry says he went with father four or five times to visit the puppy, and make payments to breeder.   

When the son moved in with Mom full time, Dad kept the dog.   The dog spent most of his time at the father's house, but a little time at Mom's.     Ex wife plaintiff wants $5k, for a puppy that only cost $700. 

 I think the father is ticked that his ex-wife remarried, and son moved back with mom full time.  

Plaintiff wants $5,000 because of emotional distress, and because she had the breeder and some trainer come to her house a few times to teach her how to work with the dog.    

Father keeps the dog that has been in his home virtually full time.    Plaintiff son gets $1,000 to get another puppy.    Ex-wife looks really ticked about the verdict.  Son trashes father in the hall-terview, just like mom does.   

Jail Time Payback!- Plaintiff Buddy Green suing defendant Jim McKenna for unpaid rent and utilities for the six months defendant was in jail.   Defendant convict's roommate sueing for payback of rent money, utilities,  damages from plaintiff's dog and stolen property.   

Plaintiff was not the leasor, but the defendant was.     Plaintiff says he was going to move to an RV, but instead stayed in the apartment for six months, but had no obligation to pay the rent because he wasn't on the lease. 

Defendant wants the full rent for the last two months, when plaintiff moved out.    Defendant claims plaintiff stole TV, and a blanket.       

Nothing for anyone.

Get Out--You're a Squatter-Plaintiff/ tenant Wallace Bass suing defendant /landlord Richard Sotelo for moving expenses, threats, breach of contract, and harassment, so they can afford to move, $5,000.   However,  plaintiff, five kids, and wife don't pay rent, $1375 a month, and did pay security deposit.  Plaintiff and family are still living in the home.  They paid through July, part of August, and nothing after that.   

$4975 is unpaid for rent, and tenant stopped paying rent because promised pool wasn't in back yard.     

Plaintiff claims defendant threatened his children's lives, said landlord cut off utilities, and claims landlord said he was going to burn house down after locking it with the children inside   Plaintiff claims defendant padlocked the kids in the house, and he lost his job because he had to stay home to protect his kids.  Another woman, not the wife,  lived there for three months, then wife moved in, with the five kids.     When plaintiff rented the house, he lived there with Mikayla, and one child.   Landlord only saw three people, not seven people after wife and kids moved in.  

Case dismissed, plaintiff told to move out using the unpaid rent to relocate (apparently house has major deficiencies).          

 

Maserati Madness-Plaintiff Coolidge Howard suing defendant Chase Ginkel for a bad matte vinyl wrapping job on his car.   Wrapping job does look bad from the photos.   

Plaintiff bought a shiny used Maserati, and wanted it changed to matte black.  The job is absolutely awful, and looks totally amateur.   The wrap is horrible, it also messed up two doors from defendant making holes to put the wrap on. 

I would be a happy camper if the defendant brushed his messy hair, he looks like he just rolled out of bed, and ran to court.   

Plaintiff gets $ 2500 (he actually wanted both doors replaced)

12 January (Monday, 15 January JJ gets bumped by bowling on my local channel) (Sorry, my cable went down again, for hours, so no TV because no internet, so you’re getting the no name listings from old showings for the first 4 p.m. episode.  It all came back just before 5 p.m. The downside of having everything through internet).

4 p.m. episodes-

Mama Drama! - Woman accuses defendants/ her son and his wife of sealing her vehicle, suing for $2000.  Plaintiff mom gave defendant $2k to purchase car for her, and I'm betting he spent it on one of his numerous tattoos.    Plaintiff mom says she gave son $2k for a used Blazer to purchase from a friend of his,   plaintiff picked car up from defendant about a month later, but since plaintiff couldn't register it, she couldn't get insurance.   

Title was in defendant's wife's name, and he wanted to get a title loan against the Blazer, to open a tattoo shop of his own.    Plaintiff says defendant's only income was under the table tattoo job money, and his wife's son's SSI payments.       

Plaintiff mom got mad at defendant son when he again borrowed money from grandma.     Money went to plaintiff's account, and she wouldn't give it to him right then.   So, they had a huge fight, and since Blazer was in his wife's name, defendant son got the police to seize the car.    Plaintiff had the car about six months, when the son took the car.      Defendants already had a title loan on the car for almost $400, and then repo'd the car.  

Defendant says the $2k was a gift from the mother's income tax, and not for the car. 

Plaintiff gets $2k.   

Ex-Lover Left in the Dust?!-Plaintiff suing former girlfriend/defendant for lease breaking fees.   Plaintiff claims former girlfriend stuck him with the lease on an apartment, when she took her two kids and moved back in with her estranged husband.    The litigants didn't move into her previous apartment because her husband lived there.      

Defendant says that plaintiff should pay everything himself, because she doesn't want to pay.  Defendant also refuses to find roommates to cover her side of the rent.        The apartment was a four bedroom.    What did that man ever see in her, especially dragging two kids with her, and paying almost nothing on the bills?  

Defendant only paid for September, and October rent, and then said no more money.     Plaintiff didn't look very hard for roommates.    Plaintiff worked extra hours to pay the rent, with six months left on the lease, and paid two months, then quit with four months left.     

 Plaintiff will get two month’s rent from JJ and Byrd, $600.    Where can you get a 4-bedroom apartment for $600 a month?

World's Worst Healthcare Aid?! ; Hostile, Loud and Annoying?

5 p.m. episodes-   

A Dingo Mauled My Shepherd  -Plaintiff Janet Heston  suing neighboring rancher/ defendant William Large for his part Dingo mix for mauling her miniature Shepherd.    The plaintiff's dog was on her driveway, front yard area (this is a rural area, and they are large properties), and this is where the attack happened.  This is alleged to be the second attack on her property by the man's dingo mix on her dogs, first dog belonged to plaintiff's daughter.   Plaintiff didn't pursue charges on the first attack, this was because of fear of reprisal, since daughter/witness says defendant threatened to kill her family.   

Sadly, many places in the country, there are no leash laws, and no animal control.  Plaintiff's daughter says defendant threatened to kill her family, so she didn't want more confrontations with the defendant over the first dog attack.  

Defendant is whining because plaintiff said the next time defendant's aggressive dog is on her property, it's going to be shot.   JJ says because plaintiffs dog aren't fenced in, and to fence defendant's dogs out, then it's plaintiff's fault that her animals were attacked.   

JJ simply doesn't understand working dogs, rural areas, or anything but her mansions.   She simply isn't listening to the plaintiff.  

Plaintiff shows where her dog was, on her own property, when the attack happened.  Defendant's fence doesn't keep his dog in.   Unfortunately, plaintiff's daughter/witness lives right across the road from defendant.   Defendant claims (actually lies) about the attack happening on the road, and plaintiff's dog was to blame.  

In the U.S. Australian Dingoes are only able to be owned by zoos, or with a wildlife permit, including dingo crosses.   I suspect the dog is actually a American Carolina Dingo, pretty equivalent to the Dingo, but an American feral dog.    In Australia you have to have a permit to own a dingo, or cross, and that's only in two states there. 

 Defendant claims the dingo mix was targeted by the plaintiff and she tried to run it over on the public road.    Defendant claims he has secure fence, and it was open (I suspect it's no climb, or hog fencing).   Defendant is a big jerk, and I suspect he enjoys his animal wandering, and destroying other animals. 

Defendant's disgusting smirk about the attack on plaintiff's dogs show me that defendant is enjoying this.     

Plaintiff gets $514 for vet bills.

Customized Nightmare -Plaintiff David King suing defendant Jeffrey Beltz for not restoring his classic non-drivable car properly, for the $6500 he paid to get the car fixed.   

Then, plaintiff had the vehicle towed to another shop, and wants money for more repairs.   Plaintiff had the car towed, and didn't say a word to the defendant for seven months.

Faulty Fiance?! – Plaintiff Malonda McNair is suing defendant Kevin Fish for car damages to her 2003 Lexus 300 after he totaled her car while running a red light.    Police report says plaintiff driver claims to have green light, and the defendant claims a green arrow.    Plaintiff suing for damages to her car.   

Car was being driven by her fiance, Brandon Watson, with no insurance.  As usual plaintiff was going to get insurance reinstated that afternoon, and it had lapsed for three days at most.   Defendant was driving a rental car, but his own insurance covered the accident. 

This accident was over a year ago, plaintiff has his insurance information, and plaintiff submitted a claim, and insurance company denied it.    Denied because plaintiff claims defendant gave mis-information to GEICO, and the police.  Defendant lied and said plaintiff's fiance / driver ran a red light. 

Defendant was making a left turn with a green arrow, but plaintiff claims he had a green light, and but it's an arrow left turn.  Plaintiff claims light was turning yellow, and my guess is defendant jumped the red light.   

 Plaintiff  claims she has a letter from the police officer saying that defendant was charged with running a red light, but it was an email, and nothing official.    Defendant was given a citation for running a red light, and he got a prayer for judgment (a North Carolina plea), and paid nothing.  

Prayer for Judgement is unique to North Carolina, for traffic charges or misdemeanors, it is a guilty plea, but guilty driver then can ask for the Prayer for Judgement, and there will be no penalty, or license points, and each household can only do this twice every five years.      On defendant's police report there is a Code 19, which is running a red light.  

Defendant claims he was found not guilty, but that isn't what happened.  He had the Prayer for Judgment, which is a forgiveness of a guilty plea. JJ has to go to her Computer of Justice to search what a Prayer for Judgment is.  

Plaintiff gets $5k , because the defendant was a wise ass.  Plaintiff still owed $9k on car.

 

Lovers' Playpen Party Pooper-Plaintiff Eddie Murdoch claims he loaned $580 to defendant/ girlfriend Karen Bostic for items he bought for her grandchildren.  A whole lot of nothing, from both litigants.   Defendant gave plaintiff her credit card. 

Plaintiff told to resell playpen, and receives $200.  By the way JJ, he won't get $100 for a very used playpen.   Plaintiff had no expectation of repayment from defendant.

Car Flipper Backfire!!  -Plaintiff/mechanic Lawrence Pearl took car to defendants to repair defendants/mechanic Ed Blum and son Jeff Blum for repairs, to flip the car.    Plaintiff claims there was car damage during the fight when he came to pick up the car, and claims he was assaulted with a metal pipe during the melee.   

 Plaintiff has used the defendant's shop for four or five other car restorations with the same mechanic (the mechanic was with this shop for a while, and was with his own shop before, then mechanic left).   The old car was taken to the mechanic's shop, and then he went to work for the defendants.    

Plaintiff says the arrangement was that the mechanic would fix the car for free, in return for the mechanic's girlfriend using another car the plaintiff owned while the car was being repaired, for about four months.     

By the time the plaintiff went to get his car, that the mechanic had left or been fired, and wanted his car for free.      Plaintiff swears the son of the garage owner assaulted him, and another employee, pushed him down, and he hit the fence on the way down.     Then plaintiff claims when he got into his car the son kicked the car door into his knee.     The son/defendant says the car door closed on the man's leg, but he didn't touch it.    

The Mercedes had a lot of damage, and very little was fixed by the mechanic (it had been in a wreck).     The plaintiff simply won't shut up.     Plaintiff is whining about having to sell the car to the mechanic, and lost money on the deal.    

After a trip to the doctor, the plaintiff consulted an attorney about an injury lawsuit.     

Plaintiff's case is dismissed, and he a total jerk.

Plaintiff bought a truck at auction for former friend /defendant    Defendant never paid, and the plaintiff resold it through the auction at a great loss.  Defendant agreed to the vehicle purchase, and then backed out.  There was also a $200 fee to attend the auction.     Plaintiff offered another vehicle, but that was refused also.   

Plaintiff sold the truck for $1700.

Party Disaster or Cover-Up?-Plaintiff /home renter Janaya Geiger is suing defendant/cousin Jamar Ockimey for damages to her home when the cousin threw one Hell of a party when plaintiff was out of town.   Defendant denies trashing the plaintiff's house (his cousin) while she was away.   Plaintiff SSMOT (Sainted Single Mother of Two) was out of town , with her two kids.   

Cousin defendant's birthday was coming, and his friend wanted to give a big party, and since his apartment is tiny, then he asked to use the plaintiff's house.   All of the guests were related to both litigants, a total of eight guests. 

There are a lot of damages alleged, including a trashed sofa (stained with puke), a giant hole in the living room wall, smaller holes in the wall (smaller compared to a foot across).     

Plaintiff got home Sunday afternoon, and after getting over the shock of her trashed house, took pictures.      Cousin/defendant denied anything happened.  Landlord is threatening to evict plaintiff and her two kids, over damages. He says he had a dinner party, not a brawl, and he has no idea how the damages happened.  

Plaintiff gets $4,000, and I hope says bye-bye to her cousin, and his lies.

Muzzle Confusion and Attack!-Plaintiff Chyloe Frey suing defendant/dog owner Evelyn Homsi for vet bills, medical bills, and punitive damages for defendant filing a false police report after a violent attack on plaintiff’s 15 lb. Puggle by defendant’s 80 lb. Boxer. The defendant’s dog was required to be muzzled at all times because of previous attack history.     This all happened at the animal control vaccination clinic (clinic only does vaccinations, and license renewals)

 Defendant claims the plaintiff's dog (a 15 lb Puggle) attacked her 80 lb Boxer cross viciously first.    Defendant does not look like a Boxer mix at all.      Defendant claims her dog was expelled from the clinic after the bites.  (I think defendant's dog looks like a Pit crossed with something bigger.  There is no Boxer in that dog). 

Plaintiff had her little dog, and her 3-year-old child, was at the animal control vaccination clinic, when the defendant's dog came up to her dog, and knocked plaintiff over and started attacking the little dog, and kept attacking the small dog.     

Defendant's dog has a prior history of violent behavior, and is required to be muzzled at all times when off the property.     Defendant claims the muzzle was on the dog, but defendant’s dog was still was able to savagely rip up the plaintiff's dog.     Defendant adopted a dog that had to be muzzled, but lies and claims the decision to muzzle the dog was 'just in case', and not required.  JJ calls defendant statement 'baloney'.  

The previous incident was an unprovoked attack on a neighbor's leashed animal, when the defendant owned the dog.  Defendant claims there was in incident before the dog was adopted by her, but the report is after defendant owned the dog.    Now the defendant remembers the attack.    

$3,000 to plaintiff, and defendant is a freaking liar.    

 

Swamp-Hunting Dog Meets Pit Bull!-Plaintiff Michael Moore suing former friend /defendant Randee Rooks for vet bills, medical bills, and lost wages after the defendant's pit bull attacked his dog. 

 Plaintiff was staying overnight at a friend's house, and the next morning the pit bull attacked a Catahoulla owned by the plaintiff, when the defendant tied her dog out on a 30- foot lead.     As usual, defendant claims plaintiff harassed her, and says if her dog bit him or his dog, it was his fault.  

Plaintiff gets $5000,  vet bills were paid by the landowner, so no vet bill money, and no medical bills, except out-of-pocket.

Handyman Squatter?-Plaintiff Roy Lowe is suing former landlord/defendant (rented room) Julayne Rowley for stolen property, and a damaged car.    Plaintiff says he stopped paying rent, because defendant didn't pay him for minor water repairs.     July, August, September, October, November, and December weren't paid either.     

After the plaintiff signed another one-year lease, in June, and there was an eviction notice on his door, then he decided to stay anyway.  Plaintiff was laid off, but claimed he still had money, and had another job.     The landlady/defendant is enjoying every word that Judge Judy is saying.     

Defendant/landlady was rearranging the garage, so she put tenant's excess storage stuff out on 31 August, after plaintiff didn't pay rent for three full months by then.    JJ invokes the arbitration rules of her court, and says the man who paid nothing for three months, eventually seven months, deserved to be put out.   Plaintiff was eventually evicted. 

 $2962 to defendant.  

Hazardous Waste of Space?-Plaintiff/mechanic Mmichael Langley is suing ex-landlord/defendant  (owner of business property), Mohammad Faraj for  damages, return of rent.  Defendant is counter claiming the cost to remove hazardous waste.    Plaintiff was a tenant of a car dealership, and  defendant denied access to plaintiff to the auto shop.    Defendant /landlord bought out the lease on the dealership in June.   

Plaintiff is alleged to have written rubber check for June's rent, and claims he paid in cash, and defendant says plaintiff did pay.    In June, defendant says the check bounced, but plaintiff paid in cash.   The defendant changed the locks on the rented mechanics shop used by the plaintiff, but right after this plaintiff paid the office manager in cash. Defendant says plaintiff claimed to be moving out the end of June, but he stayed until the end of August.         Plaintiff paid for June with cash, paid July with a car lift barter, and didn't pay in August.   

Defendant is countersuing for unpaid rent,

Both cases dismissed, plaintiff because he was full of stuff, and defendant because he wouldn't shut up.

When Faulty Drivers Collide! -Plaintiff/car driver Quila Crawford suing bicycle riding defendant Chad Winebarger for damage to plaintiff's car, while she was turning right, and claims bicycle severely damaged her car.   Defendant counter suing for bicycle damage.   Plaintiff tried to turn right after stopping for red light, and then she went forward, and hit the bicycle. 

Both litigants are trying to blame the other, I think this is just an accident, and both should pay their own damages.    I also think the car driver blew the stop light.   This was a light with a curving right turn, and defendant crossed in a crosswalk.  His bicycle ended up under the car tire.  BIcycle riders are allowed to ride on the sidewalk in Idaho.  

JJ even says if defendant saw plaintiff looking over her left shoulder that she was getting ready to merge after the turn, and didn't stop at the red light.  I believe the defendant's story. 

$842 for plaintiff.    I think they should have paid for their own damages, but I think the accident was plaintiff's fault.  

Kitty Litter Misstep-Plaintiff Joan Guernsey is suing defendant/consignment shop owner Rhona Heyl for full retail value of items plaintiff consigned to defendant.  Plaintiff consigned items, mostly doll clothing and dog clothes, to defendant's shop for resale.  Plaintiff is suing for full retail on the items, over $1900, that she claims were ruined by cats at defendant's shop.   

Plaintiff consigned two bins of clothing.   Defendant claims the clothes were misrepresented, and were leftovers from when plaintiff closed her own shop.   Defendant says the clothes were stinky to begin with, and that's what attracted her cats to them.  

Plaintiff gets $1,000.

A History of Violence?-Plaintiff/a homeless felon Tadd Miller says defendant/his ex-landlord Lawrence Hutera had him arrested unjustly and he's suing for false arrest, property damage, property defendant kept, bail money, and unpaid wages.    Defendant owned the house, and plaintiff and brother shared a room in the house for 3 1/2 years.  

Plaintiff and his brother paid $500 a month.  Defendant/landlord says plaintiff was horrible to live with, and threw him down the stairs.   

The argument started over the internet being cut off by the plaintiff (he was paying for internet), when he caught the defendant looking at naughty stuff.    The plaintiff was worried that defendant's nasty internet habits would be pinned on him.   

Defendant said the next day that he was evicting the plaintiff, and brother.    The day after that defendant said plaintiff assaulted him, and plaintiff was arrested for assault.   Plaintiff and brother moved in to defendant's home after plaintiff's last felony stint, in 2011.  

Defendant says property of plaintiff and brother was in a Pod container, and the Sheriff's deputy supervised the pick up five months later, and they took everything.   

Defendant has a 2 year Order of Protection against the plaintiff, and it was granted by the courts while the plaintiff was in jail, so exparte.   Assault charges were later dropped.   Plaintiff has chronic headaches, and a bad ankle so he gets Social Security, disability.   

Plaintiff and his brother seem a bit touched, sadly.      In the hall-terview defendant says plaintiff and brother were assaulted twice, once for plaintiff strangling defendant and pushing him down the stairs, and the second time for harassment and stalking.  

Plaintiff's case is dismissed, and so is defendant counter claim.  

 

Bad Check Bailout!-  Plaintiffs (husband) Douglas Day and (wife)Kandellyn Monroe-Day suing defendant Dia Mitchell for an unpaid loan.    Plaintiffs claim defendant/convict flirted with plaintiff's Good Samaritan husband, are suing for a loan from plaintiffs so she could buy a home, and get out of their lives.    Defendant says the loan, was a gift.   

Defendant and male plaintiff met through a mutual friend.   Defendant wrote a bad check, and received 16 months in jail.   Plaintiffs invited defendant to live with them when she got out of jail.  Plaintiff wife was not happy about defendant moving in with them.   

Plaintiff's both seem a little naive, and wife then was ticked about defendant's flirting with husband right in front of the wife.   (What the hell did defendant do to her hair? )

The plaintiffs loaned her $1500 for a house down payment, and to get her out of their lives.   Defendant claims the plaintiff's house was messy, and has zero gratitude.

Plaintiff's get $1500 for the loan.

Woman Kicked Out of Courtroom! -Plaintiffs/home buyers (wife) Sheleen Clark and (husband) Thomas DiFusco are  suing defendant/home seller David and Kathleen Baptista for breach of contract.  Plaintiffs bought home from defendants, with a tenant in place.   The tenant is the witness, Jennifer Lemme, when she signed a lease with defendants in 2014, JJ wants to know if she paid defendants $1,000.    Witness says she didn't pay defendants in  cash or check. 

In the lease with defendants, there is a statement that says plaintiff witness/tenant would do $1,000 in work on things in the house in lieu of $1,000. 

The house contract says defendants would pay plaintiffs $1,000 at closing.  JJ wants to see the closing documents.  The closing document doesn't mention the $1,000, so it doesn't exist.  

Plaintiff witness won't stop interrupting and whining,  Witness has some piece of paper that she wants JJ to see. So, JJ has her kicked out of court.  She whines all of the way out of the courtroom, and Officer Byrd walks her all of the way out.  

The defendants never received $1,000 cash or check from tenant, so the plaintiffs are not getting $1000.   Tenant is still in the home.   

Defendants are counter claiming for conversion of personal property.   They allowed property to stay behind in the house, and are suing plaintiffs for not giving the property back.   David Baptista is an attorney, but didn't get the property out of the house, and has no written agreement to get property back.

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

Deceitful Divorcee?! -Plaintiff/ Samantha Garcia suing defendant/tenant Carrie Stechlein for unpaid rent, and a stolen camper.   

Plaintiff managed the property for her father Property was supposed to be sold, according to the divorce.  House was either lived in by father, or rented out, the final tenant is Stechline.   

Court gave consent to sell the house, at the ex-wife's request, because ex-husband  was renting the house and keeping the money. 

 Daughter admits her father didn’t share the profits with ex-wife, her mother.  Plaintiff claims the verbage in the divorce decree was wrong.  Father/ex moved out of state to another residence, and ex-wife got permission to sell house.  Tenant/defendant signed a new lease with the new owner.   

Plaintiff claims defendant owes two months rent.  However, she has no proof.  Camper was on property after house sale, so it conveyed with the property to the new owner.  Camper case dismissed, no witness in court.

Sneaky Kickback Party! -Plaintiff  Alishia Flowers  claims defendant/homeless friend Jonnica Miller threw a party in her house when plaintiff was out of town, she's suing for stolen and damaged property.  Property damage includes a stolen stripper pole.   

Defendant is suing for illegal eviction, but she never paid rent, so that's out.      Defendant(a Sainted Single Mother of Two) moved into the plaintiff's house after fighting with her mother.

Defendant has huge party while plaintiff was out of town, and claims it was actually the plaintiff's party.    Defendant had a huge party while plaintiff was out of town, and trashed the place.    Plaintiff's stripper pole in the basement disappeared during the party too.    Party was planned same day party was held, and it was a small kickback (small party, apparently when you steal a stripper pole).   

Defendant claims plaintiff knew about the party in advance, and her written statement says it was the plaintiff's party, not defendant's party, but planned by plaintiff while she was out of town with her daughter.   You can see where the pole was ripped down from the basement ceiling mount, and clothes were stolen, and TV was broken. 

Plaintiff claims she went on a trip, and left her laptop to behind, and it was stolen, but JJ doesn’t believe her  Plaintiff says defendant and her two kids stayed free, because defendant was expecting a car accident settlement, and was going to pay plaintiff when she received the money.      JJ only gives money for the TV $279 to plaintiff.

$279 for TV plaintiff claims was broken. (I agree most people don't leave a laptop at home to disappear)

Fraud and the Smelly Cat -Plaintiff Allegra Kennedy   is suing former landlord/defendant Sharon Bruestle for security deposit, and last month’s rent prorated.    Defendant says deposit was kept because of damages, cat damage, and one month of unpaid rent.   

Plaintiff claims it wasn't her cat, but was in her house, and plaintiff abandoned the cat in the house when she moved out.   New tenants and landlord found cat in basement of house, and tenant adopted the cat.    Water bill still owed, cat left behind, and other damages.   $1200 was the security deposit.    Plaintiff would feed the stray cat, but it was in the house all of the time, and landlady/defendant says the cat was left behind in the house.   Plaintiff's explanation to landlady was 'cat started as a stray, and it can go back to being a stray'-another plaintiff I totally hate, and hope she gets nothing, and an animal cruelty charge from where ever she lives.    The plaintiff dumped the cat outside when she moved, and left cat for the new tenant.   

Hope the plaintiff's new landlord is watching this episode.      

The landlady also furnished a fraudulent letter to some organization saying tenant paid October’s rent, and it was so tenant could qualify for some organization money.

Tenant/plaintiff gets prorated rent back.     Landlady has no bills from the tenant's move out, so tenant gets $1580, because landlady is a liar as proven by the letter to organization.   Landlady says, "she'll never do this again", but it must mean write phony letters to get money from organizations, because she already re-rented the house.    Though I swear the landlady said 1 November is when she re-rented, it.    Maybe the new tenant moved in early in October?

Landlady gave tenant a false statement that she paid October's rent to give to some subsidy, or charity group so they would help her pay rent, so that's thrown out (unclean hands, and party to fraud).    Plaintiff moved on the 11th of October, and new tenant started moving in on 15 October, so she gets rent back for half of the month.   

 $1200, plus 380 = $1580 to the plaintiff.

Homeless Squatter on the Hot Seat?!   -Plaintiff/tenant Ramon Johnson suing defendant (another tenant, and landlord) Alejandro Duverglas for illegal eviction, and loss of property.      Defendant signed an agreement with a roommate referral service, but had no lease with plaintiff.     

Defendant is counter claiming for unpaid rent.  Defendant filed this because plaintiff filed with housing court for $12,000, when he owed more than that in unpaid rent. 

Plaintiff paid rent for May, and nothing through November.     Plaintiff claims he signed a lease with defendant, but it was thrown out.   Defendant says he only signed a lease with a property management company, and nothing with plaintiff. 

Plaintiff was fired by his employer, so he stopped paying rent.   Plaintiff was fired after an incident with his employer.   Plaintiff also claims he actually paid rent through October.   

Plaintiff claims he was evicted because of an argument between girlfriend, and defendant, (girlfriend lived there at least two nights a week, sometimes more).  

Defendant says he was going for a law enforcement job, so he couldn't have domestic issues, and he figured plaintiff would file a false claim of domestic violence against him if he tried to evict plaintiff. 

Sadly, tenant court said the plaintiff had rights, and could move back in.     

Defendant claims he gave the property to the plaintiff, on the day the plaintiff was removed by police.     

 Nothing for anyone.    

 

Runaway Cow Collision?-(Each state has different rules when a livestock animal wanders, there are fence in states, and fence out states.   When I lived out West if you hit a cow, you paid for your own damage, and paid for the cow.  In an Open Range state, the driver pays for the cow. Cow owners are not responsible for damages). 

Plaintiff/driver Jon Carter  is suing defendant/cow owner Richard Harwood for the damages on a 1997 Dodge Dakota, unpaid wages, impound costs, value of the car, and other garbage.   Plaintiff was going to the casino, hit the cow, (the cow lived), and plaintiff couldn't afford to get his car out of impound, and wants lost wages.     The defendant says it's Open Range in his state, as long as the animals are outside the city limits.   Defendant's insurance company denied any payments to plaintiff also.  

(JJ is totally wrong, if someone hits a livestock animal then they pay for the animal, in a fence out, or open range state.   In a fence-in state it would be the owner of the livestock that is sued by the driver.    However, this only applies to livestock.  For domestic animals, if your dog is on the street, and someone hits dog and has car damages, dog owner is liable for the car damages. )

$875 for the plaintiff.

Illegal Power Rip-Off  -Plaintiff/landlady Donna Moeller claims former tenants/defendants  Jessica Pitzer and Scott Day owe over $5k for electricity.   However, previous tenant did the illegal hook up, and that tenant was the plaintiff’s/ landlady grown son.     The plaintiff evicted her son.     

Defendants say they never paid for electricity for the two years, because they never got a bill.  Tenants paid other bills, and had everything set up.   

Defendants want to be reimbursed for having to stay in a motel, and three freezers full of food that spoiled when electric company found out about the illegal hookup, and turned off the power.     The tenants/defendants also have a signed lease that says utilities are included in the rent, but plaintiff claims her  signature is forged.   Previous leases have same signature for plaintiff. 

Tenant claims landlady wanted them to sign another lease that says they'll pay the past electric bill, and give her their tax refund.    JJ points out that defendants saved a lot on electricity over the length of their tenancy, so the hotel bill claim by defendants is dismissed.  

(Landlady's son is lucky, someone around here tried to hook their electricity back up a few months ago, they died). 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and defendant case dismissed. 

Wage Garnishment Travesty  -Plaintiff Kevin Bean claims defendant/ex-business partner Kyle Pompey failed to pay rent, for a place they both rented for a photography studio.    Plaintiff also had his wages garnished for the unpaid rent, and he’s suing for repayment of the garnished wages. 

The two litigants were business partners, and the plaintiff dropped out of the business after two months, then he was notified of the judgment.    His wages were garnished after a default judgment was entered by the court.   Loser defendant paid nothing on the rent either, and he was actually in the photography business with plaintiff.    Plaintiff claims the garnishment ruined him, but actually trusting his ex-friend and partner did.     

Defendant stayed in the studio for four years, and he paid nothing, so the garnishment is his.   $5,000 to plaintiff.

Plaintiff's witness is a neighbor, Shahara Biles, who saw the defendant at 2:30 p.m. near the plaintiff's car, and saw the defendant getting out of plaintiff's car.    

There are also text messages from defendant to plaintiff saying that getting her car vandalized was what she deserved. 

Defense witness is the boyfriend, 

After the vandalism was discovered, a police report was made, but there is no proof who did it.   Plaintiff brought mechanic to court, Melvin Washington, and says plaintiff's 16-year-old car needed a new engine, etc.   Car is worth $2150, and mechanic estimate is $3800 (plaintiff bought it for $3600, didn't check blue book I guess).     

 $2150 to plaintiff, the blue book value of the car.  

Hit and Run?- Plaintiff Matthew Dowgwillo suing defendants (driver) Dontray Neimeyer and defendant's mommy (title holder of car) Locinda Neimeyer, for hitting his parked car, and leaving the scene.   Defendants have totally different story.    Plaintiff's witness is neighbor who saw the accident.     Witness says defendant whacked parked pickup truck, and left the scene.         Witness got the license plate, and police report says mother (car owner) said son used the car without permission, and had no insurance.     

However, defendant mother says in court son had her permission to use the car.    The plaintiff's pickup truck was knocked crooked, and badly damaged.    Truck is worth $12k or so, and plaintiff gets $5k to fix it.   Defendant's car is damaged, and parked in her garage, and I hope it's still there (this was 2015).  Defendant claimed the plaintiff was pulling out from the curb, but no one was in the vehicle at the time. 

Defendant son says he had permission to drive the uninsured car to work.     Why do I have the suspicion the car is one of the insured while the registration is renewed, and then cancelled ?    

(the plaintiff and witness names in this case are so interesting) 

Plaintiff gets $5,000, leaving him $7,000 short of what it cost to repair.

Vengeful Ninja Brick Thrower?! -Plaintiff /ex-girlfriend Veronica Jones suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Sherrad Bennard for having her arrested for vandalizing his car.  Defendant says plaintiff threw a brick through the windshield.    Defendant agreed not to prosecute her if he was reimbursed for the windshield. 

Defendant claims the police report, and prosecution were mixed in with another case against him, and those files were lost.  

Plaintiff claims she didn't trash his car, or smash the windshield.   Defendant has been plaintiff's 'friend' for two years, and he recognizes her car.   He says she called him many times in the days before the windshield incident.   He didn't see plaintiff toss the brick, but he heard a loud noise, and saw someone dressed all in black running away from his car.  He says he saw her driving away from his house. 

Right after the incident, plaintiff stopped calling him.   He made the police report, and two days later plaintiff was arrested.   Case was ultimately dismissed, but that doesn't mean plaintiff was innocent. 

JJ says just because defendant only showed in court once and the charges were dropped, doesn't mean plaintiff didn't do the crime she was charged with.   Defendant says two incidents happened, and no police reports were available.   JJ mentions that you don't show up in court in shorts.  

First time brick didn't go all of the way through his windshield.  The second night he's not sure who did it, because he didn't see anyone running or driving away.   However, the first night is when defendant saw plaintiff running and then driving away. 

The recordings plaintiff submits to the court are bizarre, and prove nothing. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.  

 Lies, Lawyers and Landlords -Plaintiffs/former tenants Cory Capone and girlfriend Kelsey Swanson suing defendant/former landlord (he was another tenant, renting the house) Michael Hernton for unlawful eviction after landlord broke the lease, htey're suing for return of property, and rent after an illegal eviction.

Plaintiffs rented the Main bedroom from defendant.  Defendant and his ex-wife rented two bedrooms, were the leasors of the house.  When ex moved out, they moved another tenant in to take her place.   Defendant claims he told plaintiffs that it wasn't legal for him to sublease to them, so they had certain conditions on renting from him. .   House was rented by defendant and ex-wife, and it had four bedrooms.  

Defendant's counter claim dismissed because he was illegally subletting the bedrooms. Defendant doesn't come to court with clean hands.  

Plaintiff man talks about the altercation he had with defendant, claiming defendant barged into their room when they were half-naked.    Defendant says there were a lot of drugs being used by plaintiffs.  I believe what the defendant said, after the reaction of the plaintiffs to the drug allegations. 

They paid rent of $600 the last month, then moved in with his parents at their house. Defendant said he reminded plaintiffs about a real estate agent coming to view the house, and reminding them to clean up, but claims he knocked and waited to talk to them, and didn't just barge in. 

Police report is submitted, which is only what plaintiffs say happened.

Plaintiffs receive $300 back from their month's rent. 

In the hall-terview plaintiff woman says defendant wouldn't have seen the note on the whiteboard about drugs if he wouldn't have barged into their room.  

5 p.m. episodes-     

50th Birthday Party Grand Entrance Upset!-Plaintiff Thaddeus Jackson suing defendant/ex Cassaundra Johnson for an unpaid loan for $4900, for her birthday party, credit card bills, and impound fees he paid for her car.  A $9,000 birthday party, and she threw it for herself.   (This was in Houston, TX.) 

Plaintiff suing for $4900 for loans, and credit bills, and the party.    Defendant also paid to get car out of impound.   Plaintiff shows at party, but vendors hadn't been paid by loser defendant, so plaintiff loaned the money for vendor/party payments.      Defendant has no proof she paid over $4k for her party.    Caterer was $1800, Bartender $175, her dress is not being paid for, and other party items were a loan, according to the plaintiff, and he expected money back.   

Defendant only got $2400 or so in tax refund, and never paid anything to plaintiff.    Plaintiff's mommy was calling deadbeat ex-gf for money, because plaintiff borrowed the money from his mom for the party to loan to the girlfriend.  Venue was owed $2700 on the day of the party, because the deadbeat party woman paid nothing.         Defendant even stuck her son with some of the bill too.   

Plaintiff gets his money, $4900.

Shoddy Work or Slanderous Words!?-Plaintiff Maria Sorenson suing defendant/former contractor Daniel Strand for a garage she hired defendant to build for her.  Plaintiff paid for garage to be built, for $28000, and $2200 extra, and totals, $30,200.     

That total doesn't include door installation, but insulation of the garage door was included.      Plaintiff sounds like a PITA, and I already don't like her.     

Another complaint is water pools from vehicles in garage, but that's happened in every garage I've had in the past 20 years, and a level floor is much better if you convert the garage to a workshop, or living space.     

Plaintiff claims to correct water flow to the floor drain, and other issues will cost almost $3k.   JJ says the repair estimate is ridiculous, a laundry list of items that have very little to do with the floor drain. 

Defendant has no proof of her slandering him on facebook. 

Plaintiff receives $0

Man Claws Own Face?-Plaintiff Casey Massacre (Yes, her real name) suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Daniel Peralta for assault, and having her falsely arrested.    This is the one where the female plaintiff was arrested for domestic violence by the police.   Her ex-boyfriend had marks all over him, and plaintiff admits to biting the defendant also.  (Maybe we should fix her up with the man who had the $50k bail for almost killing his ex, and her kid, and had current and another ex in the courtroom).     

Plaintiff called police, and then was shocked to be arrested for domestic violence.     Plaintiff may be dressed like a very conservative, and proper person, but she assaults domestic partners.     There was a previous police call, but no one was arrested.     

 Plaintiff ex-girlfriend says there was no physical contact during the fight in question, and claims the man created his own injuries.   Casey Massacre (yes, an appropriate name isn't it?) is a voice over artist, and claims she's disabled, and doesn't drive. She claims she was just defending herself against the defendant.      Plaintiff claims the defendant was clawing his own face right before the police got there.   

Police report says plaintiff threw an apple at Peralta, and used a lamp to separate them. Peralta had visible scratches, and a bite mark.  Massacre was arrested for domestic violence. 

Plaintiff claims defendant scratched his own face.  

Plaintiff is getting no joy from JJ, and is obviously a totally out of control.      Thank heavens for Officer Byrd, who could take out psycho plaintiff with one hand, because the plaintiff is obviously violent, and has no control.   Plaintiff keeps talking over JJ even after her case is dismissed. 

Plaintiff case dismissed, and for once defendant says he has nothing to do with her, and never will again.      

Susan Ragan-TRouten

Do-it-yourself Puppy Delivery! (Not for the faint of heart, I remember this one)-Plaintiff Susan Ragan-Trouten suing defendant Brandon Conrad, for pick of the litter, stud fee, and travel fees.   

Plaintiff Susan Ragan-Trouten, had a male boxer she had for two years, and son gave dog away, but plaintiff still walked the dog.   Son gave dog away because it wasn't being treated well, I guess by the plaintiff.     Except she used the dog as a stud, when she didn't even own the dog then.     

 Susan the plaintiff wanted pick of litter, so she could train the puppy as a service dog (probably one of the $50 online Service Dog phony papers, and vest).      Susan the plaintiff took dog to defendant, and offered to breed dog to his female in return for necessary vet bills, and pick of litter.     

Defendant (Brandon Conrad, of Michigan) apparently has no idea how dog breeding works, and let his dog labor for three days, and two puppies died, because defendant had no money for vet.  After two days in labor, defendant took female to emergency vet, and found out dog needed a c-section, plaintiff refused to pay for vet bills, so a-hole defendant took dog home, and started reading online how to deliver puppies.   

Defendant claims he took dog to emergency vet twice, but has no proof.       Defendant still has some puppies at his house, some actually survived this jerk's online puppy delivery, and apparently the emergency vet.     My question is how can idiot plaintiff get pick of litter, or stud fee when she didn't own the male dog?  

Defendant 'wasn't interested' in neutering or spaying his dog.     

Plaintiff gets pick of litter (apparently six puppies survived this).      I wish JJ had rescued the puppies, and found homes for them instead of letting either one of these two idiots have them.  

I couldn't hate either litigant today more.

Newlywed Rings Ripped Off?!-Plaintiff /former tenant Michael Allen suing defendant /landlord Lawrence Neu for the theft of rings, and invasion of privacy.   

Plaintiff tenant put in notice to move out, went on vacation, and didn't pay the last month because he claims the landlord/defendant let a handyman into his apartment, for no reason, and rings disappeared.    His security deposit was only $99, and rent was $459.  

Last month tenant didn't pay his rent.    On 15 April, since the tenant was over two weeks late, the landlord had his handyman change the locks.   Handyman swears he knew nothing about the rings.    Motorcycle, 2 TVs, X Box 360, and a ton of property were in the apartment, and the rings.  Tenant also owed rent for that month.   Landlord said if he was out on a certain date, and paid $300, he would be square.    

Sadly, Judge Judy gave the plaintiff $1162 for rings.  JJ says the mistake the landlord made was that he didn't watch the handyman change the locks.   

 

Fire Rescue Heroics?-Plaintiff Anthony Amos suing neighbor/defendant Richard Wallace for property damage due to a fire.   Defendant is a non-paying tenant, who pays nothing to the girlfriend, Sara Murray, who is the owner of the house.     

Plaintiff says that defendant started fire that spread to his house, burning his trailer tires.      Defendant claims leaves were piled up very high on a windy day, a frayed electric wire hit the metal fence, sparked a fire in the leaves, and he claims he risked his life to put the fire out.  

JJ says plaintiff should sue the defendant girlfriend's homeowner's insurance. 

Since defendant isn't the owner of the house, then plaintiff can't sue him.   (I disagree.  Plaintiff was suing the person who stated the fire, the fact he's a non-tenant isn't relevant to me, or that his girlfriend owns the house)

Zip for the plaintiff.

Extravagant Beach Wedding Fail! ; Brother-Sister Skirmish!

5 p.m. episodes-    

Pigs Leave a House Like This!-Plaintiffs/landlords Jamie and Heather Graber are suing defendants/former roommates Rico Ford, and Anthony Bennett for unpaid rent and damages.  Dumb and Dumber defendants flunked out of school, and leave everyone on the hook for rent and damages.     

Rico has a subsidized apartment, and will go back to school.   

Rico paid $345, and the partial payment constitutes the end of the debt, because the plaintiffs accepted it, and Rico leaves the court.   Anthony, soon to be a daddy, moved back in with (his father) grandpa-to-be, and his preggo girlfriend.     JJ tells plaintiffs to sue co-signer Dad, but the plaintiffs couldn't find Dad, to sue him, I guess Googling is beyond their skills.   

The plaintiffs have a picture of a BB gun being used in the house.  Female plaintiff needs a huge amount of conditioner on that haystack of hair, or else it's a wig that is really cheap.     

Rico Ford is brought back to talk about the damage in the house, and admits the pictures of the before are good.     Plaintiffs have before and after pictures, of a house destroyed by a BB gun.   

Anthony, the village idiot, didn't clean rotten food out of the fridge, because in the words of the village idiot "the trash was full, and I can't overfill the garbage can".    The house is trashed, and BB damage everywhere. 

$1500, plus $700 security deposit equals $2200 for the plaintiffs.

 

Toxic Ex-Roommate?!-Plaintiff Christina Kotick is suing defendant Daniel Prouix for loss of personal property. Plaintiff was living with his witness,  Patrick Ryan for a few weeks, and then moved in with defendant.    Plaintiff paid defendant nothing, and then got arrested.    Defendant is being sued for loss of personal property, after a fight in the apartment, and a no contact order was given to the defendant.   

After 30 August plaintiff was out of jail, and homeless.     Plaintiff left all of his stuff behind, and contacted defendant on 6 October about his stuff.   At the end of September everything was given to Goodwill.    In spite of the fact that defendant has a man bun, and I hate those things, I like him.   

Nothing for plaintiff.

4 p.m. episodes-               

Exposed Gun Goof!-Plaintiff Phil West Sr  suing defendant/his former gun instructor Howard Smith for not doing the paperwork, renewal, and firing range training to renew his gun license, so plaintiff couldn't work as a security officer.   Plaintiff is a security officer who needs a current gun license, and certification, and says the defendant is a licensed instructor who failed to schedule his paperwork, and shooting test.   

It cost  $120 for the paperwork, and $98 renewal fee, and included a trip to the firing range.  Plaintiff says that defendant never took him to the firing range, or did the paperwork, so his license expired, and he lost wages because he couldn't work.     

Defendant says the plaintiff didn't schedule anything when the plaintiff could work with him.   Plaintiff could have hired another instructor to do the testing, and paperwork, but failed to complete his required testing, and so the license lapsed.      Plaintiff is also complaining that it cost $30 more for the other instructor.   

 Plaintiff will get the $218, for the paperwork and testing that was paid for, and never happened.   Plaintiff will not get lost wages, or the extra amount for another instructor.  

 

Secret Love Affair Exposed!-Plaintiff Donna Walker  suing defendant (her ex-boyfriend) Stanley Curtis for first month's rent, and security deposit for his apartment when he was separating from his wife.     Defendant says it was a gift, not a loan.    Defendant's counterclaim is because she ratted him out to his soon to be ex-wife (ex isn't in the court), so he wants attorney fees.     Defendant claims ex went through his phone, called the plaintiff, and she said what was going on.   

Defendant was loaned $1600, and he paid $50, and two smaller amounts, but no proof, and JJ says she suspects the plaintiff made this up so the money would be considered a loan, not a gift.   Defendant sent text saying he would pay her back, so he's toast.      

$1600 to plaintiff.

Hotel Room Destruction! ; Rent-A-Church

5 p.m. episodes-

Huge Ego on Display!-Plaintiff/company owner Greg Krahenbuhl suing defendant/former employee Kenny Hull for transmission repair, and down payment on a car.     Defendant claims plaintiff/boss paid for his transmission because he's "such a good employee" (he's an alarm technician and did installations on alarm systems).     Defendant says he made less than $20k, but ex-boss says over twice that.    They work seasonally, I guess summer?   In Tulsa.  It was around $3k to fix the transmission, and boss paid for it.      

Plaintiff says defendant was going to pay him back $250 per paycheck.    Defendant never paid anything back.     Agreement changed to back-end check for repayment, but no repayment happened.  Defendant still says he only got $3k, but plaintiff says a lot more than that.      JJ is sounding a little like Yoda today, and equally as wise.     

Plaintiff wanted to keep working for company, but that didn't work out.    Plaintiff calls, and tells plaintiff his car croaked again, and needed a down payment on a new car.  He was selling old car ‘as is’ (next week's case I bet), and plaintiff was going to pay defendant out of the back-end check again.   

Plaintiff paid back $1450, but still owed for the transmission, and the rest of the down payment.   

Plaintiff gets $4216.

Masseuse on the Loose-Plaintiff Richard Hardie is suing defendant/masseuse  Anita Denney for an unpaid business loan.   Masseuse was supposed to pay back plaintiff at $80 per massage, and did 30, so $2400 (I think).    Richard Hardy, plaintiff is suing massage therapist for loan to start business, $6k.    She repaid $2512, and still owes $3488.   Defendant and plaintiff had signed contract, and some paid back by $80 an hour, and 30 massages.   

 $2912 left ($6k was the actual loan amount, but $1k outside the contract).    JJ told sad sack defendant to get a job.   $2912 to plaintiff.

Human Trafficking?! (This is the bizarre case where the estranged mother keeps calling police and filing false reports to harass her daughter, claiming the daughter is a captive and being trafficked.  I can’t believe JJ listened to the mother. 

Mother is suing defendant attorney for not getting a restraining order dismissed, and making false statements charges against her dropped.  However, mother dropped the case before the hearing, so who showed up to represent her wasn’t an issue either.   Also, attorney had a junior associate making the court appearances, so JJ doesn’t like that either. ).

Roaches, Maggots, and Clutter?!  Plaintiff /former tenant Sheila Cromwell suing defendant/former landlord Patel for moving costs.   She claims her inoperable vehicle was illegally towed after city inspectors told defendant that her vehicle, and others behind the apartment house had to be towed.  Defendant has pest control records and photos proving he had pest eradication done after plaintiff’s complaints.    Car that was unregistered for 10 years, and undrivable is dismissed.   Everything dismissed, JJ says the $1500 plaintiff saved from two months of unpaid rent should be enough to move.

Plaintiff case dismissed.

 Teenage Car Slam! Plaintiff Caleb Rogers suing defendant Christopher Hicks for car damages after defendant smashed into his parked car.   Defendant hit plaintiff’s parked car, which bounced into the parked car, and then into another parked car.   As usual, defendant was uninsured.

Plaintiff says insurance company sent him a letter that the defendant didn’t have insurance.  Second truck owner will be paid in cash by defendant, and so will the third vehicle’s owner.

JJ refuses to give plaintiff the $3,000 he wants, since he only paid $600 for it.  Plaintiff gets $600.

Harrowing Dog Attack Drama! ; Jealous Rock-Throwing Rage!

5 p.m. episodes

Hotel Heist or Gold-digger Guest?- Plaintiff  Debbie Beresford is suing defendant/hotel partner owner Vimal Jariwala for theft of $1200 from her hotel room, makeup, and other items, and she wants $5,000.  The woman with the hotel case was another person who thinks they don’t need proof for anything.  As JJ points out If you don't use the safe, this will happen to your belongings, and my guess is the money was long gone. However, I agree with JJ, no one leaves $1200 sitting out in a motel room.     

Cute that husband (former fiance) of plaintiff didn't have her stay in his house because his 16-year-old daughter doesn't like the woman?       The hotel comped the woman for four nights, and changed her to a jacuzzi suite, so what the heck else are they supposed to do for her?    They made a mistake, and made up for it. 

I wonder how $1200 cash transforms into a claim for $5,000?   The woman stayed in the hotel, where cleaning people come in, and maintenance people, and left money laying out?    I find it amazing that the stuff that's missing was all high end, name brands.    I did love the $1 for makeup.   

Another staff member took plaintiff to the room to meet with the other patrons who were accidentally put into the room, and she said nothing was missing.  

Plaintiff gets nothing, and deserves less.     I wouldn't hesitate to stay at that hotel.   

 

West Nile Virus Threat?!-Plaintiff / landlord Iryna Nelson suing defendants/former tenants Uriel Gallegos and wife Marisol Pena for unpaid rent, and damages. Another case of deadbeat defendants/tenants making any excuse to get out of paying their legal rent, and for damages.    They went month-to-month and didn't pay $2072, the rent for September.     Tenant was unemployed after August, and ran like a bunny home to relatives in September.   They lived in the apartment for a year, and a few months later he lost his job, and they disappeared after that.      

Damages  include a lot of crayon on the walls.       I agree with JJ, what was the kid still doing with crayons?   The man claims they were new parents, but they had a toddler, and a baby, so JJ says not new parents.    I also agree with JJ that they only tolerated the damages because it wasn't the tenant's house.    They had a dog also, and with a $500 non-refundable deposit.    Puppy was very naughty with screens.  Making their own doggy door through the slider screen.          Plus, that homemade screen doggy door wasn't made by a Chihuahua either, so I wonder if they were supposed to have a dog that big?   

Plaintiff gets $1,025.  

Sexual Assault Allegations -Plaintiff Elena Menz  suing former employer/defendant Bartholomew Ben Israel for sexual assault, and unpaid wages.   It is the plaintiff's burden of proof, but the defendant needs to bring proof that she's lying about payments.    $1036 owed, because defendant has no proof of payment.     

JJ says claiming you have to put out to keep your job, when it's a total lie is disgusting, and though the plaintiff should be ashamed, I bet she's proud of it.  

 Grabbing fairly generic photos showing off his mostly dressed body off of his Instagram, and claiming they were harassment is ludicrous.    The plaintiff should be ashamed, and if she made a police report, should be charged with making false reports.    It's despicable to make false charges like this.   Every time false charges are made it makes it harder for people who are harassed to come forward, and be believed.    I hate the plaintiff's head bobbing, and I can't stand her, and her big mouth.      

I love that JJ read the plaintiff the riot act, and did take the charges seriously.    Isn't it amazing that the liars always erased the messages and texts that prove their allegations?     

I love JJ's ruling that posting that garbage, and sexual harassment allegations cancel her work payments, so the decision is nothing for plaintiff.

4 p.m. episodes-

Birthday Boy's Bottom Bitten!-(A pit bull's owners say their pet bit a neighbor because it was provoked-so much for not human aggressive. My guess is another Pit cross with a bigger, human aggressive breed of dog)-Plaintiffs Monique and Arthur Sanchez suing defendant/Pit Bull owners Phillip and Laticia  Davis for medical bills from a dog attack on their son, and for the spoiled birthday party of the birthday boy who was bitten.

Plaintiff kid claims the defendant told the dog to attack him, and defendants claim the plaintiff kids were shooting BB guns near their kids.    The previous incident was the defendant woman passed out in the plaintiff's living room (from pills).     

Defendant daughter was walking the dog, and the plaintiff son was having his birthday party in the garage, and the two families live across from each other in a facing row of townhouses.      Plaintiff son, David was sitting down out in the desert , while defendant daughter, Shayla,  was walking the dog, everyone sat down, and the dog lunged and the other kids laughed at her, the daughter said Sic 'em, and dog bit him in the butt.      

Defendant daughter claims the boys were swearing at her, and throwing candy at the dog, and the dog bit the boy.   The defendant's claim the dog never bit before, and JJ believes the defendant's daughter's story, which sounds more logical to me, and the boy was bitten, but not $4k worth.       Defendants called the police when the older son (14) of plaintiffs was shooting pellet guns at kids, and police did find the pellet gun.    Defendants claim the plaintiffs are harassing them, and are out of control, but it's the parents, not the kids.   

Defendants have a counter claim for harassment by plaintiffs.  Defendant says the harassment started after she called police because the older son was shooting at defendant’s children with a pellet gun.  Defendant claims the plaintiffs came to her door, with Mrs. Sanchez carrying a baseball bat, with her older son and husband, who was carrying a big stick.  They were banging on the door, and screaming she was going to get them for calling the police on her kid.   Defendant Phillip says the mother of Mrs. Sanchez confronted him at a gas station, and that the Sanchez family has called CPS with false complaints repeatedly claiming the Davis’s were abusing their children.

JJ believes the defendant daughter’s story more than the plaintiff’s son’s story.

Plaintiff gets $500 for the dog bite.     I agree with JJ, these people need to move.

 

Van Love Gone Wrong-Plaintiff Craig Cullen suing defendant /ex-girlfriend Deborah Darling for filing a false restraining order, and a loan for car payments.   Defendant claims she had a physical address, but  lived in the van with plaintiff.    

They were also engaged, but never married.   

Plaintiff gets his $1500 loan back.

Troubled Teens, Computer Fiends? ; 40-Year Age Difference!

5 p.m. episodes-   

Anxious Toy Spaniel Tug of War-Plaintiff Cynthia Smith wants defendant/puppy seller Sheila Carpenter to refund her $500 deposit after she returned the puppy.     Plaintiff bought Papillon from defendant for $1500, wanted her money back, returned the dog, received a refund, then changed her mind again and wanted the dog back.      I wish the woman behind the plaintiff's left shoulder could stop shaking her head like a bobble doll. 

 The second time there was a $500 non-refundable deposit on the dog, she picked up the dog, and was upset the dog wasn't perfect, and didn't adjust instantly.    Plaintiff has another Papillon puppy now, poor doggy.    My guess, she found another puppy that matched her furniture better, or was cheaper, and bought it.     

The plaintiff is trying to claim the contract was signed, but it wasn't.    Breeder resold the puppy to a good home, for payments, and cheaper.   

Note to plaintiff, dog is not a tea cup, that’s a poodle, Papillons are tiny dogs.    Defendant says the dog was 14 months old, not a puppy, and was sold to a good home for $1000. 

 $0 to everyone.

Courts Don't Care About You-Plaintiff Kenneth Clark suing defendant /ex-live in, Bonnie Hayes, for two iPhones she purchased on his account.   Except they were purchased after the break up, but plaintiff has no receipt for purchase of the phones.  (I already can't stand either litigant.  Come to court with proof).

Plaintiff now has the receipts, and defendant still has no real defense to stealing the phones.     Nothing for anyone while they were shacking up, just the phones after.   $743 to plaintiff.

Creepy Gardening - (A wonderful description on the cable guide for this episode: "A landlord says he evicted his tenants due to nighttime tree trimming, vegetable vandalism, and loud fighting".) Plaintiff / landlord  Casey  Russell suing defendants/former tenants Jake Larson  and (girlfriend) Mandy Belille           for unpaid rent, and property damages, and landscape damages, and filing false restraining orders.    Smart aleck landlord rented the basement downstairs for man, woman, and two kids. (at first he said it was his trailer basement, JJ was not amused) 

Plaintiff /landlord says the tenants were constantly fighting, left the children at home alone, damaged his property, and filed a false restraining order.     Defendant man moved out, but left junk behind.      No security deposit was given.    Rent was $1200 a month, paid $600 for the first two weeks, and owed last month's for security.     

Plaintiff doesn't have a clue about anything financial.   Landlord says woman leaves the two kids alone constantly, woman trimmed the trees in the middle of the night, pulled his garden out, claims woman stole his mail.     

Defendant man left the home, and took his two kids with him.   However, the woman defendant stayed in the house after man left.      In her sworn court statement woman says she stayed behind because she's stubborn, and wanted to stick it to the landlord, and she also moved her mother and an older son into the house.     

Woman defendant filed for a restraining order after boyfriend, and kids left.    She wanted a restraining order with all kinds of nasty allegations, and never showed up in court for the extension of the temporary order.    She claims landlord locked her out, broke a window banging on it, claims landlord cut off electricity, claims landlord broke her Xbox, put bleach on clothes.    Woman also claims landlord has an entire shed of their children's mementos.    

I hear banjos playing all through this case.      Landlord gets $0.   That's why you should have contracts, receipts, records, move in and move out pictures.  

 

Ex-Fiancee Fight! – Plaintiff Falesha Crawford suing defendant/ex-fiance Daniel Lanno for unpaid tickets, stalking, and damages to her car.   

Plaintiff says she paid defendant’s parking and driving violations to keep his license from being suspended.

Defendant claims the payments for his tickets were a gift.

Plaintiff claims the defendant followed her to a relative’s house, and rammed her car. Woman had a restraining order against her ex, but claims she was too afraid of her ex to go to the police after he rammed her car, so she’s now suing him on national TV.  

Defendant’s sister/witness keeps trying to make excuses for her brother.   JJ tells her off.  

What did plaintiff ever see in this man?

Restraining order was made permanent, after defendant failed to appear.

I’m so glad Officer Byrd and the security team were close by for this one.  Defendant is getting flushed, and very angry. 

Plaintiff receives $2500.

5 p.m. episodes-     

Misguided Binge Shopping-Plaintiff/former boss Rebecca, Spalding suing  defendant/former employee Angela Richmond for repayment of plaintiff's purchase of $600 in school clothes for defendant's daughter, Meredith.     

Defendant says she never agreed to repay boss for school clothes, and she never would have spent $600 for school clothes.     Defendant was only asked for the school clothes money the day after the plaintiff fired her.      

 JJ calls the school clothes a gift, and plaintiff gets nothing

Jet Ski Stupidity-Plaintiff/ jet ski owner  Wendy Stein is suing defendant /guest Dylan Jensen for hurting her used jet skis.   The skis are 20 years old, and have full insurance coverage.    Plaintiff paid $3,500 for the trailer, two jet skis, lift for the skis, a few years ago.    The insurance company wrote her a check for $1406 after a wreck in 2016, and the skis were used after that, until the 2018 wreck.    Defendant was at plaintiff's lake house, that’s when defendant was riding the jet skis (he's a rank beginner).   Defendant actually thought you could steer from the back seat of the jet ski.   Plaintiff is lucky the inexperienced defendant wasn’t hurt, if he had suffered injuries, she would have been sued.   As JJ wisely points out, grandmother/plaintiff already came out ahead financially. 

 Plaintiff grandson claims the accident damage to his jet ski is underneath the front, because he saw the accident was going to happen, and lifted up the jet ski.   Sounds like garbage to me.   My guess is that plaintiff's grandson ran up on the defendant's jet ski.   Case is dismissed.

4 p.m. episodes- Pepper Spray, the Police and Road Rage?! This is Part 1 (Part 2 is first episode tomorrow) --    Plaintiff Christina Shepard is suing the defendant Tyrone White because she claims he threw a rock at her car. Plaintiff is the daughter of a Sheriff's department employee, who pepper sprayed defendant neighbor.      Defendant says over the last year the plaintiff has been harassing him, pepper sprayed him, and brags that her father works for the Cook County Sheriff's office.      Plaintiff claims defendant’s family has been harassing her for over a year. 

Plaintiff claims both parties arrived at the back porch at the same time, claims defendant hit her then-boyfriend, and boyfriend was arrested, and found not guilty.     Defendant says woman was arrested also, but no charges filed (what a shock that no charges were filed, after defendant was knocked unconscious).     Defendant claims the bad blood started with the plaintiff's family over them interfering with workers trying to improve the co-op building.

Months later, defendant was again on apartment back porch, and plaintiff claims he went after her.       Sheriff daddy couldn't come to court, but plaintiff has a transcript of the previous trial.      No JJ will not call plaintiff's father. 

A week before the next incident the defendant's wife claims the plaintiff, and her adult brother were intimidating his wife.     Defendant's wife is a co-op board representative, and the plaintiff dislikes her. 

Defendant is at the CVS drugstore, and plaintiff is standing by entrance to drugstore, when plaintiff pepper sprayed him.     When the man gets home, he's calling 911, and the police and EMTs don't show up, and his wife goes outside and sees Sheriff's officer outside chatting with the officers, and EMTs.    Plaintiff claims defendant attacked her too, and she had to go to the doctor.   

Plaintiff claims defendant assaulted her, and she pepper sprayed him in self- defense.    Plaintiff before and during the assault she was talking to a friend on the phone,  claims she has known the person she was talking to on the phone for years, but didn't mention anything about the previous assaults, arrests and trial, or issues with defendant and wife, or the assault and pepper spray that happened when plaintiff was on the phone with her.   

Defendant is saying plaintiff and her relatives have harassed, attacked, and stalked his family for over two years, and due to plaintiff’s relative working for the Cook County Sheriff’s office, he can’t even get the police to take a report when he’s attacked.

 JJ is going to call the friend plaintiff was talking to about the incident.    Plaintiff claims she was talking to the friend, and said she had to hang up, and call 911, and didn't call plaintiff back until 2 a.m. the next morning/night.     (Continued on tomorrow’s episode)

Dramatic Pit Bull Beatdown!  -Plaintiff/dog owner Lorette Medalgio  suing defendant / Pit Bull owner Marissa Pacheco and (daughter) Pacheco for vet bills and medical bills from a dog attack.   This happened in Alamogordo, NM, at the corner of Lovers Lane and Cuba St.   It’s many miles from Las Cruces where the plaintiff Marissa was shopping with her other daughter.    Plaintiff had two small dogs on a twin leash.   Pit Bull got under the chain link fence, and shredded plaintiff’s tiny dog.   Then, the Pit Bull (obviously a Pit Cross with something bigger, and more vicious) attacked the plaintiff’s one dog.   Plaintiff lifted the giant Pit off the ground by his huge chain collar No one came to help until driver of passing car stopped, and the passersby took the plaintiff’s other dog into their car,  and then while plaintiff was blocking the Pit. Another neighbor came over and was ringing the bell of the Pacheco’s home, no one was home.   Mrs. Pacheco’s daughter is co-owner of her mother’s property.   Then the Pit got the little dog again, dropped the tiny dog, and the Good Samaritan tossed her other dog in the car.

It took the police and animal control over 20 minutes to show up, and AC took the dog into the truck, and released the dog to defendant and her daughter.     No citation, and I’m not surprised that this all happened this way.

(I lived in that area, since plaintiff is an outsider, and the defendants are local.   Locals always get preferential treatment.)  

Defendant’s  hall-terview explanation of what she claims happened is ludicrous. 

$5,000 to plaintiff.

The Rat Trap?  -Plaintiff/ landlady Lisa Isaacson accuses the defendant/deadbeat ex-tenant Maria Gonzalez of destroying her rental unit.   Plaintiff says there is unpaid rent of $1,100, for six months.    Defendant husband and dog were living in the home, and claim they didn’t pay rent for months,  because of an on-going rat infestation, and plumbing problems.   

Defendant’s sworn statement is that they didn’t have money for an exterminator, so her husband took a hammer to the walls, trying to kill the rats.  Defense witness is her husband, who tells JJ testimony that’s simply nonsense. 

Plaintiff finally evicted the defendants, and will be suing for the unpaid rent in another court.   Plaintiff is suing only for the damages to the house in JJ’s court.  Damages include huge holes in walls,  JJ dismisses the four-year-old carpet claim.  Plaintiff suing for rekeying of mailbox and doors.   Plaintiff says the first mention of rats happened in JJ’s court.  

 $2325 for damages to plaintiff.

 

5 p.m. episodes-

 

Race Card Played in Reckless Driver Drama -Plaintiff /grandmother Ronnell Hector suing defendant   /granddaughter DeJene Hector for wrecking the grandmother’s car on the freeway.  Grandmother had rules, no driving the car outside of their state, no hauling others in the car, no reckless driving.    Defendant was driving a friend to Kentucky for an interview, when she lost control, after hitting another car.   Police were called by the other driver, and defendant claims the police were mean to her because they wouldn’t wait for AAA to tow it.  Car was towed to Silver Grove, and is totaled.  Police report has witness statement saying defendant was traveling at high speed, crossed several lanes of traffic, and hit another car after cutting the other driver off.  She went from the far left lane, cut across the other lanes, to the exit, and abruptly  cut in front of the other car, and caused the accident. 

Defendant claims everyone was prejudiced against her, and  claims the witness was lying.   

The audience really enjoys JJ’s smackdown of the defendant.

$1250 to plaintiff, half of the damages, because she let the granddaughter drive the car.

Next case skipped.

Death Threat Caught on Tape -Two women who had a common boyfriend (now everyone's ex).  Plaintiff (most recent ex) Jennifer Bremer suing defendant (previous ex) Cassie Mann  for vandalism to her car, harassment, and stalking.     Fortunately, we don’t see Joey, everyone’s ex, and I don’t believe he’s all that wonderful.

There were two incidents, second incident police report says defendant was on the plaintiff's property, when car was keyed.     Plaintiff had a temporary order of protection, and that was extended to two years.   

Car was keyed for the third time, six months later, with a recorded voice mail threatening plaintiff.    After a two-year protective order was issued, the defendant lost her job as a paralegal. 

$5000 to plaintiff. Defendant counter claim dismissed.

Mother/Daughter Debt Duel-Plaintiff /mother Evelyn Bailey suing defendant/ daughter Dawn Burkholder  for the loss on a repossessed car that mother co-signed for.    After daughter had car for a year, she dropped it at mother's house, and said she didn't want it any more.   There were no missed payments by daughter.   There was a dispute over son-in-law driving, and not being on the insurance.   

Daughter/defendant wanted a restraining order against mother for harassment, coming to her office and badmouthing son-in-law/husband.   Plaintiff consented to the first restraining order, instead of going through a trial.   Daughter/defendant was arrested (she claims it has nothing to do with the case today).     I missed the arrest information. 

Shortfall on car is $5030, so plaintiff gets $5,000.  Defendant's ridiculous countersuit is dismissed.

4 p.m. episodes-

Pepper Spray, the Police and Road Rage?! Part 2 –(Part 1 was yesterday) -Part 2 of this episode-(Plaintiff wants $4,999 for car damages, and harassment).

Plaintiff Christina Shepard suing defendant Tyrone White for throwing a rock at her car.

In the testimony from the pepper spray incident, plaintiff says she was talking to her friend on the cell, and she will back up what the plaintiff says.   Friend Sheree Anderson gets a call from JJ, and says, plaintiff said something about having to hang up and call the police.    However, friend says plaintiff never called her back talking about injuries.   

There were no arrests, or anything else done at the time of the report, but plaintiff received a summons to court in the mail, and claims she was found not guilty.    The next incident, plaintiff was sitting in her car, and claims the defendant was saying mean things to her.    When she drove away, she alleges that defendant threw a rock at her car.   

Defendant says he was walking, and backed her car up and tried to run over him, so he tossed the rock, and evaded her.     Defendant also says plaintiff got stuck in the mud, so he took off for home.     

There was a hearing after this, plaintiff was granted a protective order against defendant, and it's a mutual no contact order, for 10 months.       

Plaintiff gets $10.    The look on her face is so stunned.   I believe the defendant.  

Live Free or Die!  -Plaintiffs Scott Mainella (car owner and father) and (son and driver) Tim Mainella suing defendants / Diane Henriques (mother and car owner) and Tiffany Mears (daughter and driver) over a car accident with their teen drivers.   Plaintiffs suing for $1934. 

Defendant mother is partially correct, drivers are not required to have car insurance, if they have a bond of a certain amount to self-insure.  It’s crazy but true,  Florida used to have a similar law I think (from show testimony on other cases).   Defendant driver claims plaintiff son was on his cell phone, son denies that.

Plaintiff was driving straight through a green light, defendant was turning left, and collided with plaintiff driver.   Defendant was cited with failure to yield. 

Plaintiffs receive $1,394.  (Note when you have an at fault car accident in NH and are self-insured, you have to pay for the damages, and then file a form with the state to show you paid.  If you don’t do that, you have to get insurance.  I wonder if that’s why the defendant mother now has insurance?)

 

Motorcycle Gift of Gratitude? -Plaintiff Amanda Lefever suing defendants/ motorcycle buyers Jennifer and Sebastian Groom  for the remaining payments on a motorcycle.    The defendants claim the  friend gave them a motorcycle as a gift.

Plaintiffs moved in with the Groomes for about six weeks, and were going to move into another trailer in the trailer park.     Plaintiffs went to buy a used motorcycle, then the fiance’s favorite motorcycle was available, so they bought both bikes, financing the second bike for the defendants, and the defendants were supposed to pay the plaintiffs for the bike.

Defendant woman is complaining that plaintiff woman moved in with an infant, and a cat, and left the cat behind.   Defendant claims she paid the vet bill for the cat, and JJ says it’s now defendant’s cat, counter claim dismissed.

Defendant man still has the motorcycle, and JJ says to give it back.  Defendant man refuses to give it back, and JJ sets him straight.  Plaintiff gets $650 for the motorcycle defendant pay for.  Defendant claims plaintiff had a young puppy, and wants damages for that too.

Plaintiff receives $650 for the motorcycle.

 

5 p.m. episodes-

Case ignored.

How to Tell if You're a Crazy Cat Lady- Plaintiff Jeffrey Noleen is suing defendant/self-described Crazy Cat lady, Anne Bossert  for fence damages, prevention installations,  all from defendant’s roaming cats.    Defendant has six cats she lets run loose, and they do the usual cat things, off the defendant's property.    Defendant thinks it's funny that neighbors have issues with her six cats, and she refuses to keep the cats from roaming.   

Plaintiff is a loon too. He’s not losing, and keeps trying to tell JJ about the cat prevention issues.  Defendant refuses to keep her cats in her house, and wants the neighbors to pay to repair her fence.   This has nothing to do with the cats roaming.    JJ tells defendant to keep cats on her property, and in her house or get rid of them.     Defendant's witness is just as irritating as the defendant.   

Defendant keeps whining that neighbors should repair the wooden privacy fences, that won't stop the cats from easily going over.    Defendant witness keeps telling JJ that keeping the cats inside is only her opinion, and I hope they throw her out soon.  

JJ tells that she used to be a Crazy Cat Lady, so she knows how to tell someone is a crazy cat lady, and JJ says having six cats is Crazy Cat Lady territory.   

Plaintiff gets money for the clean-up, $2,500. 

Raymond Robinson

Diamond-Encrusted Pawn Star -Plaintiff Lashaun Perkins had a medallion that needed to be fixed, and she’s suing defendant/Raymond Robinson for the value of the medallion.  Defendant wanted $200 to get the medallion fixed, then he lost, and found the medallion, and pawned it.   

Medallion is gone, and defendant claims plaintiff threatened him and his family, so says he was forced to pawn it.   Sadly, the plaintiff's receipt is dated four days before case was heard.     Plaintiff claims it cost $3,000, and will cost more to make now.   

$2500 to plaintiff.

 

Illegal Tenant Trouble -Plaintiff ex-tenant was unhappy renting property from defendants/landlords, and wants her rent back.     Plaintiff saw the place before she rented, and still stayed there for six months.     Security deposit was $450, and paid rent every month.   Security was not returned, because tenant left without notice.   

Property was not legal to occupy, and there was no damage, so security of $450 is given to plaintiff.

4 p.m. episodes- 

Crazed Road Rage Incident  -Plaintiff  Michael Dunne Sr says defendant (son) Nick Shaw (stepdad is vehicle owner) Scott Smith was harassing him after a road rage accident, and claim defendant son kicked the car.    Defendant (stepdad) is car owner, and son, are both full of it.     

Defendant father claims he saw the plaintiff driving past his house, and leaving stepson's yard, before the date of the incident.     Defendant son lives on high speed road, and claims plaintiff was driving slow past his house, and when defendant son went to pass the plaintiff, that plaintiff tried to drive him off the road.    

Defendant step dad says step son told him a few days after accident it happened, and no police report was ever made about this.      

Plaintiff was leaving a parking lot, (his mother lives about 20 houses from defendant stepson), and stepson jumps out of car, screaming and yelling about plaintiff driving past his house, kicks the plaintiff's car.  Plaintiff goes to turn down his mom's street and stepfather, and stepson pull behind tail of plaintiff's car.  Stepson/defendant claims plaintiff was driving 5 mph down his street which is 65 mph.  

 Plaintiff says stepdad, and stepson confronted the plaintiff, and plaintiff called the police, and has an incident report.    Stepson keeps giggling, and acting very inappropriately.   

Police talked to stepdad, and he agreed to pay for damages to plaintiff's car.     

Plaintiff gets $1403.07 for car damages, and harassment.     

Misplaced Grief?-Plaintiff George Irby says former friend /defendant  Brittany Shaffer for money to bail her out of jail, and money in her jail account.   

Plaintiff says defendant was a 'friend',  and wanted to get a housekeeping job to pay for breast implants.   Defendant claims she never asked plaintiff for money, and wanted bail after getting switched to another jail for another charge.     

Plaintiff claims defendant was going to pay him back, but letters from defendant only talked about the breast implants, and how she'll pay the plaintiff back, and it wasn't in cash, but apparently favors.     

Plaintiff was acting out of grief for his daughter, but taking up with this woman was a mistake.       When defendant got out of jail, plaintiff took her shopping at Walmart.     

I feel so sorry for the plaintiff, he's just a lonely man. Grief can do terrible things to a person. 

Plaintiff had no expectation of payment.   Plaintiff case dismissed. 

 

Busted for Pull-Ups-    Plaintiff step father Scott Butler, and mother  Butler suing defendant /stepson Justin Bustamonte and girlfriend  Marisol Duronfor bail costs $4,000, and attorney fees.  Defendant says he was arrested and threatened with jail time for doing pull-ups at a bus stop (actually for a DUI).   Girlfriend of defendant contacted the plaintiff/mother about bail, and asked for money so he wouldn't have to stay in jail for two weeks.    Defendant's son was visiting for the summer,  and staying with the defendant girlfriend, while man was in pokey. 

Grandson would have to go back to his mother, if man wasn't bailed out, and it could affect future visitation.   Plaintiff mother bailed defendant out , and want their money back.  Probation fees were $2700, but defendant claims he didn't want to be bailed out.  

(Defendant Justin claims it's illegal to do a pull up at a bus stop)

Nothing for plaintiffs.     No expectation of repayment, and son never asked for money.  Defendants gets nothing either.

 

Moral Judgment From a Thief-Plaintiff Crystal Peoples suing ex boyfriend /defendant (JJ calls man an idiot) Anthony Conner for cashing a check on her account that man received for a side job.   The check was bad, and plaintiff wants check amount, and fees.  $3438 was check amount, and fees for bad check.   Plaintiff gave money to defendant.    Defendant claims he barely knew the plaintiff, and she was foolish for trusting the check he gave her.   

$3600 to plaintiff.   

5 p.m. episodes-

 

Stabbing, Slashing and Kidnapping?! - -Plaintiff Brooke Anderson suing defendant/ex Manuel Castro for false CPS report, harassment, and a bunch of garbage.   Defendant says ex-girlfriend, and her new boyfriend ganged up on him over money, stabbing him repeatedly, in the head and face, and slashed his tires.  Defendant was later assaulted, and stabbed, but was arrested by the police.   

Plaintiff is scary.    Woman claims she was assaulted by the defendant, but that's when defendant was stabbed and assaulted, and arrested and held for three days.     Plaintiff claims three months before defendant slashed her tires.  Plaintiff claims she was short on her rent, and needed car repairs.   

Plaintiff claims man texted, and called her, and she went outside to meet him at 2 a.m., outside the gated apartment.     Plaintiff of course no longer has the phone or text records.   Plaintiff claims defendant grabbed her, two passerby got defendant off of her, she escaped to her apartment, called 911 (no 911 call or police report).   There is nothing but a incident report for stalking 90 minutes after her 'assault' happened.   Woman didn't even go to the hospital, or do a police report.   Woman claims she didn't know she was stabbed (Sorry, if I get stabbed I'll know it, and I'll go to the hospital, and file criminal charges).     Defendant claims plaintiff called and texted him to come over to her house.   

Plaintiff filed for a restraining order, but didn't go to court, and it was dismissed.         Defendant had multiple stab wounds to his head and face.   

 JJ gives plaintiff nothing, and tells her to show the tape the police, with her zero evidence.   

 

$44,000 Child Support Bill-  Plaintiff Stacy Fox is suing defendant/ex-husband Joseph Valenzuela him for his part of annual pass to Disneyland for 16 year old daughter, and car parts for car for daughter's birthday.  His wages aren't garnished because he works under the table, and he has three little kids (11, 7, and 1) with another woman now.  Defendant deadbeat father is $44k behind in child support (monthly cost is only $400). 

 Defendant wants to do annual Disneyworld passes for himself, current squeeze, and three kids.   Father agreed to buy parts for car ex-wife bought for their daughter, and gave $300 for the car. 

JJ gets enough information for court to go after child support from deadbeat ex.  Is the defendant still claiming that a welder can't find a job?   

Cases dismissed.

 

Drug Addiction Duo-Plaintiff /landlord Deborah Clarks uing former tenant/defendant Keith Riavez for all kinds of damages, and an unpaid loan.  I remember this one, it's the one where the former tenant/ defendant was evicted by plaintiff, claiming all kinds of damage.      The poor defendant is obviously very fragile, and I hope he found a better situation after this.   

The plaintiff claims the Sleep Number bed, and speakers that were collateral for a car loan disappeared.   The loan was for $1800  There was an agreement that no drugs were to be brought into the house, and defendant claims plaintiff brought the drugs into the house.  Plaintiff gets nothing, and deserves exactly that.   

Plaintiff gets $1800 for the loan.   

The defendant says he has four months clean, and I wish him continued success.  I'm hoping all of the time since this aired has been better for the defendant.

4 p.m. episodes-   

Pit Bull Attacks Man's Face! –Plaintiff Roger Crawford suing defendants/Pit Bull owners Daniel Mickey and (wife) Tabitha King for medical bills after an dog attack that resulted in plaintiff getting part of his lower lip ripped off.   Crawford and Mickey used to work together, Crawford quit his job to get away from Mickey after the attack.   

Plaintiff was invited to go to defendants' home, and their Rottweiler/Pit cross attacked him.   The litigants were going camping together, when the attack happened.  Defendants claim they told plaintiff to stay away from the dog.   

It could have been worse, since plaintiff's two kids were at the house, and going camping too. Defendants are counter claiming for trespassing, harassment,and other garbage. 

Defendant wanted to take the dog camping too, and defendant says dog has anxiety issues and doesn't like strangers is around the defendants' three kids.  

After the attack, plaintiff realized his lower lip was hanging loose.   Defendant wife claims the dog is safe around her kids. 

When plaintiff heard the dog barking, he told defendant he wasn't comfortable having his kids near the dog.   So, plaintiff had his kids in the house and yard, and defendant wanted to introduce the dog to plaintiff.  Defendant chained the dog in the back yard.   Planitiff's kids were in the front yard during the attack. Defendant gave plaintiff pepperoni to feed the dog, and that's when the dog impacted with his face.   

Defendants claim they have a statement where plaintiff took the blame for the attack.  No they don't. 

$5,000 to plaintiff. 

 

 

Trespassing Landlord? -Plaintiff/former landlords John and Wendy Gladwin suing defendant former / tenant Lance Franklin for unpaid rent and damages. The defendant was renting a guest house from the plaintiffs.  

Defendant is counter claiming because he claims landlord trespassed, and stole his property, and wants his security deposit back.   Defendant claims his rent for the last month should have been taken out of the security deposit, that depends on the rules of the specific jurisdiction. 

Plaintiffs claim the defendant didn't pay two months rent, and there are also damages.  Rent was $3500 for two months.  Plaintiffs only have one photograph of damage, but claim they'll give defendant his security deposit after he pays the two months rent he owes.  

Defendant claims when he came home, the landlord was in defendant's apartment, had tossed his dog in the bathroom, and stolen his property.  

$1500 for defendant, rent was deducted from this. 

 

Toxic Negligence-Plaintiff/former tenant and real estate broker Esmiralda Moreno is suing defendant/landlord Mary Ann Quinones for moving and storage fees, hotel costs and the cost of a mold inspection and for illegal eviction.   

Defendant says plaintiff was running an illegal business out of the rented house, and violated other lease terms.  Defendant claims the eviction was because after a home inspection, and plaintiff/tenant claimed the house was had mold, then testing was conducted.   Plaintiff did a home test from Home Depot, and was being paid as property manager also, and the mold issue was part of the property management contract.   

Plaintiff claims she notified defendant about mold issue, but nothing was done by defendant.   Plaintiff ran an Illegal business, a security and alarm business  out of the house.   One living area was full of file cabinets, and computers, and was operated as an office.   

Defendant evicted plaintiff after inspecting the house, after plaintiff claimed her home test showed mold.   Defendant says she gave reduced rent to plaintiff, in return for taking care of the house and doing whatever needed to be done.  

Mold wasn't remediated before the house was re-rented.    However, when I rented, it was expressly prohibited to operate a business out of the house, and in the lease.  Since the owner didn’t know about the mold results until after the eviction was in progress, then I think the lease and eviction should rule the case.   

Having multiple businesses in a home in a residential neighborhood is illegal.  Plaintiff also installed a security system in the house, without defendant's consent. 

$2500 to plaintiff for illegal eviction.  

 

Stake Out Neighbor-Plaintiff Marlisa Nelson suing homeowner / defendant George Szucs for putting metal stakes on his lawn to prevent illegal parking that damaged her car.   The stakes are clearly at least a foot or more from the edge of the lawn/street, and plaintiff claims she was on the street when her car damage happened.   

The rebar stakes aren't pointing towards the street, but are angled back towards the yard, but are on the grassy area on the street side.  (He doesn't own the part between sidewalk and street, but does have to maintain it).   

Defendant didn't put the rebars back after this.   (I wouldn’t have given the plaintiff a penny, she parked on someone’s lawn, so she had to park pretty far on someone else’s property, so no money from my wallet).

The rebar is clearly far back from the street, so there is no way the plaintiff's car was touched by the rebar.   

Plaintiff gets $786 for her bumper.

I agree with you.  You don't get much reselling jewelry, or pawning it either.  Small electronics, or cash laying around would be a likely target, compared to some wedding bands that might not even be real.

Broken Neck DUI ?-  Plaintiff / mom Debra Shock and (daughter)Spring Cavanaugh is suing defendant/her daughter’s boyfriend Matthew Bracey for wrecking her car while he was drunk.   Mom took in daughter's boyfriend into her house, and now she claims the boyfriend got drunk, stole her car, and wrecked it, and broke his neck.       

The defendant is 19, girlfriend is 20, and defendant claims the booze was the mother's.      Plaintiff Mom says the only time the defendant's father saw him was when he picked him up to get him to score pot for Dad.   

The daughter, and defendant were shacking up in the plaintiff's house for almost two months (49 days to be exact).    Defendant claims the daughter, a friend, and the defendant were playing Beer Pong, and the beer came from a friend, but then claims the plaintiff Mom gave them the booze money.     

Defendant says the daughter asked the mother for money, and Spring (the daughter) gave the money to the defendant to buy cigarettes, and he took the car and wrecked it.   Spring now claims they were drinking hard liquor, not beer.   

Matthew's answer in court doesn't have any correlation with his sworn statements.    Defendant's witness is his mother.  Matthew is counterclaiming for his injuries, and reckless endangerment.  

Nothing for anyone $0.   

Communal Craziness?-Plaintiff Jessica Wilhelm is suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Matthew Fries for unpaid bills, and her furniture. Apparently, it was some kind of communal relationship.     Plaintiff moved out, and wanted her furniture.  Defendant says he actually moved out first, and doesn't have the plaintiff's furniture.    Plaintiff didn't even have the means to pick the furniture up anyway.  

The plaintiff claims the woman who owned the house wouldn't let her come back either.  Plaintiff says the other woman, house owner, has the furniture, and defendant doesn't.  However, defendant only moved out for a couple of weeks, until the plaintiff was gone, and then he moved back in.   He now lives with some other woman for a couple of months at the time of the case.      Plaintiff didn't try to get a police escort to get her furniture, and so she gets nothing.    Plaintiff was unemployed, and defendant paid $900 a month rent, and plaintiff wants $800+ for utility bills, so she can now pay her own bills. 

Defendant claims plaintiff changed the passwords on all of his accounts.   Also, in the hall-terview, she says she would have had his baby!   Thank heavens that didn't happen.  (This was in Greeley, CO)

Nothing for either side. 

 

Did the Drug Addict Do It-Plaintiff (ex-apartment room tenant) Karin Lyon is suing defendant/former apartment landlady Claudia Monroy for $5k, for security deposit, rent, and stolen property.     Plaintiff claims her personal property went missing out of her room, and says she was told to leave in four days, instead of 30 days.   She also claims the defendant made false allegations about her behavior, and how she was raising her son. Plaintiff only had weekend visits with her son, at the request of CPS.  She's now back with the child's father. 

Landlady claims nothing was left behind, police checked for property left behind during the week of the eviction.    Landlady testifies that she advised tenant to put a lock on her door, because her own older son had a drug problem, and landlady had a lock on her door too.   Plaintiff says the allegations of the landlady were not connected with the custody issues or CPS complaint. 

Plaintiff finally says she took everything, including furniture, from the room.  

Everything is dismissed.  

 

Love or Obsession- Plaintiff Robert Moreno is suing for a false restraining order attempt by defendant Francisca Mayorga, and he claims she was trying to ban him from his favorite restaurant she works at.   Plaintiff is suing for the restraining order, lost wages from having to go to court about the restraining order, and babysitting fees for his kids while he went to court.  

Defendant dated him a few times, and found out his house was filled with pictures of her.   Defendant also let man baby sit her son, and pay many of her bills.  Restraining order was dismissed.   

Case dismissed. 

 

5 p.m. episodes-     

Dad's Therapy Dog Scam-Plaintiff Hany Isaac suing defendant/dog sitter Ashlie LaFrance for his 8-year-old son's service dog back, except it's a therapy dog, or emotional support dog.    Plaintiff was traveling overseas, defendant had the dog during the travel period, and for months before, over half of the dog's life since two years ago when he bought the puppy.   

Defendant's ex-husband agreed to watch the dog for a week or so.   Then, husband and defendant divorced, and she kept the dogs, and the kids, and unloaded approximately 200 lbs. of idiot.      

Plaintiff claims basic obedience training is 'specialized service dog training', but it was basic dog obedience at a park.     The defendant had the dog for four months before the plaintiff left the country, and had possession for almost a year.   

Plaintiff left the dog with defendant and ex-husband when he was living in a dog free apartment building, and needed a certified service dog to qualify to move into the next apartment with the dog.  Plaintiff paid nothing for dog boarding, just one bag of dog food, and a container of pet treats.   

Dog never even glances at the plaintiff.   

Plaintiff get the boot, and defendant keeps the dog.  

 

The First Lady of Hats-Plaintiff Anthony Brown suing defendant Kyle Butler for $735 refund for custom hats for his grandmother for church, and the hat that he received is not pretty, or worth what he was charged.   

One hat needed to be resized, and was mailed back to defendant, and was resized.   Plaintiff also ordered another hat, both were shipped back by defendant in one box, and only insured for $100, and plaintiff never received them.   It would have costs $7.00 to insure the hats.   

$735 to plaintiff (he already received $100 in insurance from the Post Office).

4 p.m. episodes-

Pregnant Mom Photo Bust! -Plaintiff Briana Mayhew claims  photographers/defendants Mary and Eric Davis cancelled after she paid hundreds for a pregnancy photo shoot.   

There is a dueling list of complaints from both sides, and  defendant is suing for slander, (complaining to the Better Business Bureau, is not slander), and wrote mean things on Facebook.   

  JJ gives plaintiff $400.       There was no written contract saying no refunds, I bet there's now a written contract, and "No Refunds" in big letters.  

With Friends Like This... -Plaintiff Shaleigha Robinson rented a car for defendant/sister-in-law Joyce Bullock(never ends well, does it?) and is suing for unauthorized rental car charges with her debit card.    Defendant was in a car accident, and her car was totaled.   Plaintiff was stupid enough to rent a car for defendant, and sister-in-law claimed she would pay cash.  Defendant claims she picked up plaintiff's kids from school a couple of times a week, and did other errands.      However, plaintiff says her kid's daycare is right behind the school, and they walk there, and don't need to be picked up, and defendant never picked her kids up.    

 Defendant claims she was going to  stay off work until insurance fixed or paid for her car.    The litigants went together to rent it, and defendant was a listed driver.     Plaintiff claims the car was only rented for a week, and then Avis notified her that the car was overdue.    Plaintiff claims defendant wanted her to extend the rental agreement, and wanted her debit card information, and plaintiff said no.         

Plaintiff says the defendant kept the car for 30 days, instead of one week.    Plaintiff picked up her own kids, ran her own errands, and didn't ever need the defendant's help. 

$1341.16 for the plaintiff.

 

Ex-Lover to the Rescue-Plaintiff Rocky Fernandes suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Sherry Hall-Gangloff for a loan to pay her property taxes, to stop foreclosure proceedings.  Defendant refuses to repay ex-boyfriend for a $6000+ loan   

Case paused to get proof of deposit plaintiff made into defendant's account, and the proof is submitted.    Plaintiff got a loan for the amount, won a little in the lottery, and repaid all but $1600 on the loan. 

 $5000 to plaintiff.  

Homeless Daughter-Plaintiff Dana Weaver (mother) suing defendant Shartrice Ricketts (daughter)over a car rental.    Plaintiff rented a car for daughter so she could get her kids, bring the kids to grandma /plaintiff for the summer, went back to Connecticut, and failed to return the rental car.   

Daughter says she didn't return the car because she's homeless, and she was living in car with boyfriend.  Defendant would rather live in her car, then room with her mother.  Daughter now lives with grandmother, with her kids.  Rental car total cost is about $3500. 

I'm surprised the rental company didn't report the car as stolen, which it was. 

Plaintiff gets $3438.   

5 p.m. episodes-

 

Windshield Smack Down-(This is a truly bizarre case)-Plaintiff Takwana Warr Cook is suing defendant Brandon Owens for smacking her windshield with his hand.    This is the strange case of four people driving around, and defendant claims plaintiff tried to run him over.   

Defendant claims he can't remember much, but a bunch of various and assorted people were all just riding around in the plaintiff's car.     Defendant claims he got out of the car when plaintiff hit another car, and he went to a nearby park, and that's when the attempted run over, or the windshield damage happened.     

Everyone in this case is out of control.   I wonder what the real story is?   

Plaintiff gets $798.

 

Show Me the Proof! -Plaintiff Joan Bernstein suing ex-landlord/defendant Eric Smilay for moving expenses, and pet deposit.    Plaintiff had two big dogs, and moved out using the security deposit for last month's rent.   Defendant has no proof of damages, or trash in the house and yard.   

I don't understand the ruling, every pet deposit I've ever heard of was non-refundable.   

Plaintiff gets pet deposit back, $650. 

 

Advocate Against Horse Slaughter-(I saw the blog in question several years ago)-Plaintiff/an award winning Racing, and Equestrian writer Margaret Ransom says she was slandered by the  defendant's blog/Jennifer Marek.  Plaintiff claims blog said she knew about race horses being sent to Mexico for slaughter, says that was a lie, and sues for bullying by the blogger.    

Plaintiff thinks the blog posting was actually written by the defendant, and not another writer on the blog.   Plaintiff hired a private investigator, who found out the blog, and the posting were both from the same IP address.   

However, my guess is that a posting would have to be from the same IP address, no matter who wrote it, because the blog is probably posted from the same computer, no matter the original source.       Defendant claims she didn't write the article in question, but refuses to name who is, so she loses.   

 (There are no legal slaughter houses in the U.S., and horses are sent to Mexico or Canada for slaughter for human consumption.    In the racing industry, anyone who funnels race horses for slaughter is in big trouble.   The blog saying the plaintiff was involved in horse slaughter could be career ending).   Just being hinted about being linked to sending racehorses to slaughter is the kiss of death for a horse industry person, so I can see why she was willing to pay for the investigator, and sue in court.  

Plaintiff was researching a specific San Diego TB rescue (rescue was shut down, and there was an on-going investigation into its operations, and animal cruelty allegations).     

Defendant refuses to name the blog posting writer, so she loses her case. 

Plaintiff awarded $5,000.

Family Drama Fallout!-Plaintiffs Ricky Bradford  (husband, brother of Tammy Gilmore) and Tammy Gilmore (girlfriend) suing defendant/his sister Saganda Bradford (sister of Ricky Bradford) and (husband) Darren Burley for repayment of rent, and defendants filing a false CPS complaint.  Defendants are counter claiming for utility bills. 

Plaintiff and girlfriend, and one kid moved in with his sister, everything went bad, and defendants wanted them out on 1 October.     Plaintiffs claim they paid rent, and were waiting for SSI to start.   

Defendants paid part of rent for September (the two couples were alternating paying rent each month).      Defendant gave plaintiff rent money for July and August, for plaintiff to give the rent to the landlord.    Defendant also claims the plaintiffs moved in during June.    

Plaintiff brother works for Directv now, but before that he and girlfriend ran a non-emergency medical transport service.   Defendant called CPS, in October because plaintiffs were living in a van in the parking lot, with their child.     Plaintiff Ricky said CPS never came out to see them, but they claim the girlfriend Tammy got a call from CPS saying someone complained.     Since when does CPS investigate a complaint with a phone call? 

JJ will not give the defendants utility bills, or money for an iPad loaned to the nephew.   

 Nothing for anyone, and that's exactly what they deserve. 

 Taxi-Company Start-Up Mom- Plaintiff  Lakisha Johnson  suing defendant/her children's father (two daughters) Dawyne Spivey(man has two other, younger kids) for reneging on an offer to invest in her Taxi Company business.   

Plaintiff proposed to start a taxi company, and a company wanted to invest in her, and claimed she needed $1,000, and wanted him to co-sign on car.     The plan was for the two daughters wanted to drive for the taxi, according to plaintiff. 

 Defendant claims the daughters were going to school, and didn't want to join mom in the taxi company.    Defendant didn't give plaintiff the $1k downpayment, refused to co-sign on car.   

Twist is plaintiff has seizures, and that's why she wanted daughters to do the taxi service (I think it's more like Uber or Lyft, since it's a regular car), and daughters are still in high school (they're 18 and 19).   Plaintiff also claims she can't work, because she has to take care of her adult daughters (18 and 19).    

My guess is mommy would have been driving a lot, and didn't they say seizures?    Plaintiff claims she would be working for three companies, $35 an hour, plus have her own taxi company.     Plaintiff doesn't have a car.   

Plaintiff has SSI and SSDI, but still is going to do medical non-emergency transport, back to school (drop offs for after school or something?) or day cares, and all kinds of pie in the sky plans.    Plaintiff mentions that she supported the defendant through almost 10 years of prison.  Defendant claims his family took care of the daughters when he was in prison, not plaintiff.  

Nothing for the plaintiff, and I really hope this taxi business with her behind the wheel never happened.  

 

EBay Transmission Fail-Plaintiff/car owner Rondelle Moore suing defendant/ mechanic Jimmy Baker for cheating her on a transmission replacement, suing for $5,000.     Plaintiff paid $2100 to have her transmission replaced, with a transmission mechanic bought off of EBay, mechanic claims transmission was defective, and that she got scammed.  After plaintiff was going to be evicted, she told defendant, and he gave her $250 back.  So, $1850 still owed by defendant, and the Lincoln that was sold for $600.    

Do people really buy a transmission off of EBay?    Defendant loaned plaintiff an old Lincoln to drive around, she titled in her name, and then she sold it, for $800.  Plaintiff claims on day two, the tire exploded and wheel fell off and other life-threatening events.  She only owned the Lincoln for 29 days.    

As JJ says, woman took Lincoln in satisfaction of the debt, and that ends the debt to the mechanic.    Woman financed everything from her school loans.  Defendant had the original car towed to plaintiff's home, she took it to another mechanic to get an estimate, and it still isn't fixed.  

JJ tells plaintiff to sell the Audi (her original car) for junk. 

$1,000 for plaintiff. 

Fashion Road Trip-Plaintiff Arnetta Robinson suing defendant Jacquay Hosey for the cost of rental car they drove for a trip from Pittsburgh to Atlanta for a BET Mixer, around Atlanta, the purpose was to network, and get exposure to important people.   Plaintiff claims defendant knew the car would cost over $1,000, but he says it would have cost $300 to $400 from Enterprise.  

Plaintiff claims defendant was supposed to pay everything, instead of splitting the expenses three ways.  Also, they used a Zip Car, which charges by the mile, and if defendant knew about that, then he would have rented from Enterprise with unlimited daily mileage. 

 $251 is the ruling for defendant. 

Football Meets Windshield-Plaintiff Jennifer Duncan suing defendants  Nila Edwards (grandmother) and (daughter) Selena Edwards for tossing football that cracked her car windshield. Football tossing defendant Craig Vaughn is 14.  Defendant admits he was tossing football with friend, and claims it's all friend's fault.

Defendant he was throwing football with his friend, and  says football hit plaintiff's car, plaintiff got out of car yelling at them, and the friend started crying, went to get his Mommy.   Defendant claims woman's windshield was already broken, and she was driving around that way. 

Plaintiff gets $179, and defendant learns nothing.  

5 p.m. episodes-

Sex, Drugs and Surveillance-Plaintiff Teri Taddia suing defendant/next door sleazy jerk neighbor Mark Paytas for putting up surveillance cameras, one of which is aimed directly at her back yard pool, and covers virtually none of his property.   

So, plaintiff put up a floodlight to interfere with defendant's spy camera.   I'm so glad I don't live near these people.    Defendant claims a daughter of plaintiff and her boyfriend were throwing used condoms on his property, and they were selling drugs in the street, and that's why defendant installed security camers.  There is no police report.     I loathe both sides of this case.   

$1,000 to plaintiff, and defendant told to move the backyard camera.  

Barn Wedding Fail-Plaintiffs/ entitled bridezilla snow flake Challis Hopwood,  and daddy Steven Clelland suing defendants/barn owners Daniel and Katie Baez  for a barn wedding gone wrong.    Plaintiff bride wanted a dream wedding at a bargain price.  There were 150 guests.  

Venue and barn owners had no permit, did a bad job, and are going to get yelled at by JJ.   Plaintiffs are suing for $4220, including new invitations. 

Plaintiff gets $1350, but nothing for the changed invitations, because they didn't bring any to show the change.  

 

Stroke Victim's Frivolous Family Fight-Plaintiff/adult sister Belinda Tillotsonsuing her defendant/ brother Leo Martinez, and his daughter Krystyl Martinez for a 26 year old car that belonged to mother who had stroke.  Plaintiff is suing for elder abuse, and payment for the car.      Plaintiff is mother's guardian, and mother is in assisted living.   (This was in Reno)

Car was transferred to defendant before mother had stroke, or had a guardian.    My view is this transfer happened before the mother's dementia diagnosis, or had a guardian, it could be a legal gift. 

JJ doesn't see car as a gift, so defendant will have to purchase it from the mother's estate when it comes to that.     Plaintiff won't shut up, and keeps refusing to admit the car sale should be split 3 ways, when the mother passes on.    there were originally four siblings, but a brother died. leaving three siblings.      Defendant claims that he will pay for the Aerostar van.     

Since the van wasn't a gift, or sale, according to JJ, then it goes back to the mother's possession.   Plaintiff wants half of the money, in spite of the fact there is another sibling, and she doesn't want that sibling to get anything.     (Welcome to a preview of when the mother dies).

Case dismissed. 

 

Photo Cookie Bust-Plaintiff /Andre Samoel suing defendant/ Katie Lovell advertising that she would do photo cookies for his work event, but did nothing, partly because she had a cold.   The cookies were for a Christmas party for the business, and would have photos of the three business partners to be given out at the party.      It was $110 for three dozen cookies.  Also, defendant isn't the producer of the cookies, but buys them from someone else, and advertises them as her product.  

Defendant  is whining about plaintiff posting nasty things about her cookies, and service.   Plaintiff proves that the photo on her company web page advertising cookies uses the image from someone else's cookies online, that she took from Pinterest.   

The plaintiff's witnesses are having hysterics sitting in the witness chairs, and are the best part of the case.   

 (The defendant should have repaid the money to avoid the exposure of her cookie business, and how she conducts it on national TV.  All of this fighting over $110.)

Plaintiff gets $110 back.

4 p.m. episodes-    

Shot in the Knee?-Plaintiff Michelle Bryant went camping, and alleges that defendant Branden Nehls shot her in the back of her left knee with a pellet gun, or BB gun., she wants medical bills, and pain and suffering.     Defendant claims the woman is exaggerating her injuries, and her suffering.   

There are text messages from the defendant saying he's the one who shot the plaintiff.    There is a witness, Tara Cook,  who saw defendant shoot the plaintiff, and defendant starts trying to lie his way out of this.    

Defendant claims the woman wasn't carried to her car, and is claiming she wasn't hurt that much.    $2755 was the hospital bill.  Her insurance didn't cover emergency room for some reason.

Plaintiff gets $4,000.

Save My Business! -Plaintiff Sarah "Nicole" Earp sues former friend/defendant Emilie Williams for repayment of a loan for $5,500, to save defendant's business.    Plaintiff has proof of the loan, and check was deposited by defendant.      There are texts between the litigants acknowledging that the loan was made.  Loan was actually for $5,500, over the court maximum. 

Defendant was selling her business, and needed to get up to date on building lease to transfer the loan, $5455.    They never did a promissory note.    Defendant admits she received the money, and repaid nothing.   Defendant doesn't seem all that repentant about not paying the loan either. Defendant says she actually closed the business instead of selling it, and claims she doesn't make much working as a pet groomer for someone else's business.  Defendant seems to have zero shame about taking the money from plaintiff. Defendant never repaid a penny, and actually was the one who cut off the plaintiff. 

$5,000 to plaintiff. 

 

Father and Son Squatters-Plaintiffs (father)  Byron Polin and (son) Alexander Polin suing defendant/landlord Dennis Valdezfor return of his Marijuana plants, return of rent,  and unlawful eviction. Plaintiff man and adult son disobed a housing court judge, and refused to leave their rental home, were told to leave in October, and are still in the house.   

Plaintiffs are suing for $10,000, and have to go by the court maximum of $5,000.  Byron keeps claiming he worked the rent off for landlord.  Defedant claims the father was going to work on his pool electrical work.  Byron isn't the tenant, Alexander is the tenant.  Son claims he didn't have to pay rent, because the father did work for the landlord.   Cute that plaintiff didn't pay rent, but wants rent returned. 

Defendant landlord says at the time of housing court the back rent was $6800. Plaintiffs have a property maintenance building.  Plaintiff says he was put back in home by property court judge, and aren't paying rent for months, but that's not what the paperwork says.

Second housing court ruled property owner was supposed to get his property back, but tenants are still living there.  Defendant says the housing court won't let you ask for money on the first hearing, but he he would have to sue again for the rent.  The second judge gave defendant the property back, but squatters are still living there.   The father claims two MJ plants were worth $10,000.  

 Case is dismissed.

 

Parking Violation Shakedown-Plaintiff/car buyer Sandy Barragan is suing defendants/car sellers Tyrone Corbray and (girlfriend) Theresa Armstongfor return of the car, repair costs, and the signed title. Plaintiff claims she was afraid of defendants who repossessed the car they sold her. 

Plaintiff claims she didn't get the title, and didn't register the car, and that's when she received the tickets.   Corbary has the title with him.    Plaintiff also received a bunch of tickets on the car, including red light tickets, and parking tickets, didn't pay them, and since car was still in defendant's name they were on the hook for them.  Plaintiff says she needed the title to register the car, but she  had the bill of sale, and still didn't register the car.  

Defendant's witness says both sides did meet, defendants showed plaintiff the tickets, and claims plaintiff's boyfriend attacked two people during the meeting. That's when plaintiff gave the car back to the defendants. Plaintiff didn't have the money to pay the tickets.  Plaintiff's father told her to return the car to defendants because she didn't have the money to pay the tickets. Tickets were $241 each, so $482, and are in collections.  

 Plaintiff has to pay the tickets, register the car (she has the signed title now), and gets car back.   

5 p.m. episodes-

 

Beverly Hills Nightmare!- Plaintiff Craig Weinstein is suing defendant/landlady Ellen Schneiderman for return of rent. Plaintiff rented Beverly Hills VRBO for six nights, plus various fees.  Rooms per night were $254 a night, plus $65 cleaning fee per stay.      He only stayed one night, instead of six nights because mansion was so awful.      Plaintiff and wife stayed one night, and spent the next day looking for a hotel room.   Defendant refunded almost $900 to plaintiff, but he wants the amount he paid for the hotel rooms for the other nights.  

The room was not tiny, and for just under $300, it was a night a bargain for that area.    The plaintiff claims the room was very different from the defendant's picture with duffel bags on the floor, and it was dirty.   She also went to law school but never practiced, and that sound you hear is every judge in California thanking their deity that they don't have to listen to her.    Defendant just tried to charge the bench, and Byrd stuck his manly, burly presence in front of the woman, stopping her in her tracks.   

The defendant's picture of the room is much nicer than the plaintiff's picture.   JJ just said the defendant is the most annoying person she's ever met, and I totally agree with her.    Plus, the plaintiff won't shut up either.     

They should give Byrd a couple of Tasers, so we can all enjoy both litigants flopping like fish on the court room floor.   

The defendant is also flipping her hair constantly. (I really hate it when people twist or flip their hair constantly).     No money for anyone.    Plaintiff claims the room is a converted pantry.    After looking online, I think I saw the same room, and pool, and it's lovely.     The defendant may have been over the top nervous at being on TV, but the plaintiff should have gone to a commercial hotel if he wanted hotel services.   

I wonder what the hotels in Beverly Hills cost?  I bet $274 a night is cheaper.  Defendant already refunded a lot of money to plaintiff.   He was suing for the extra costs for the hotel. 

Everything dismissed.   

 

Horse Riding Jeans Rule-Plaintiffs (mother) Candy Tauzier and (daughter) Meghan Tauzier suing defendant/ex-boyfriend Gage Minick  for return of riding jeans, part of the security deposit.    The met online, and Meghan claims defendant was going to get a job, and support them, while girlfriend went to school.    Mom put down $500 security deposit for couple for apartment, while boyfriend was supposed to support both of them.  Girlfriend paid nothing on the lease breaking fee, but boyfriend paid almost $2k for the entire fee. 

The mother/daughter want riding jeans back, the girl's part of the security deposit, but daughter never paid for anything.    Defendant couldn't pay for the other apartment, broke the lease, and moved in with mommy (with boyfriend) for a while.     Ex-boyfriend doesn't have the stupid jeans.     

Plaintiff paid nothing on the lease breaking fee, but ex paid all of it by himself.  

Plaintiffs get zero.

 

Vandal Trapped by Bad Spelling- Plaintiff Ayorinde Ogunfalajimi "Jimmy"   is suing former friend/ defendant Chellarise Mendoza for car damage, false restraining order, and harassment.   

They had a minor verbal/text disagreement, and she was blowing up his phone with all kinds of nasty texts.     Then, plaintiff's roommate went outside, and defendant was screaming and yelling.   Defendant is obviously another desperate person.       

When plaintiff went outside he saw his car had been keyed, and defendant claimed her boyfriend scratched the car, and they both had been outside his house every night surveilling his house.     

Defendant wrote "Liar" spelled "Lier" on the car, and in she spelled the word that way in her text messages to him.   Defendant now says she didn't send all of the text messages either, but she certainly left that nasty voice mail message too.   Keyed car has misspelled word, and defendant has same misspelling in her text, and the word was "Liar" spelled Lier.

Plaintiff says when his roommate left their house, that's when defendant came into the house, and the argument started. 

Defendant claims she was working both days plaintiff says she was at his house (White Castle warehouse).    JJ is going to call supervisor at her job about the two days defendant claims she was working.   The defendant claims no one has a charger for her phone to get the boss's phone number, so JJ asks the audience if anyone has a Samsung charger on them, and a bunch of people volunteer.  

 

Case resumes (everyone is having fun precisely pronouncing the very long name of the plaintiff).   After JJ's phone call she reports the  person that defendant claims was her supervisor never worked at the White Castle warehouse, says defendant worked briefly at the business months before the day of the vandalism, and the defendant got fired anyway, so she wasn't at work.    

Plaintiff gets the over $1k car damage, and defendant needs a lot of help.  

 

Lonely Puppy Damage-Plaintiffs/Danielle Abra and girlfriend Jose Hernandez suing defendants/ Joseph Herrera and girlfriend Kia Espenda for damages to their apartment for damages from their dogs.  Two plaintiffs and two defendants moved in together, and both had dogs, the dogs were left alone all day.  Both of the plaintiffs, and defendants have dog damage videos.    Both sides blame the other for their dog's damaging the apartment.   

I hate these idiots that get animals, and cage them up for endless hours every day, and then blame the dog when it damages things.    Much of the damage is in the bedroom shared by the defendants and their dog.  

Plaintiff gets $201 for damage.  Plaintiff actually says "Bye Felicia" in the Hallterview.

Love or Obsession- Plaintiff Robert Moreno is suing for a false restraining order attempt by defendant Francisca Mayorga, and he claims she was trying to ban him from his favorite restaurant she works at.   Plaintiff is suing for the restraining order, lost wages from having to go to court about the restraining order, and babysitting fees for his kids while he went to court.  

Defendant dated him a few times, and found out his house was filled with pictures of her.   Defendant also let man baby sit her son, and pay many of her bills.  Restraining order was dismissed.   

Case dismissed. 

 

This was so creepy on so many levels--the level of obsession was scary--yet she leaves her son with him?  

Has the whole country taken stupidity pills?

Also, I would like to see earlier shows, I am getting tired of recent {2018 onward} reruns.

4 p.m. episodes-    

The Pit Bull and the Burglar!-Plaintiff Michelle Lemieux is suing defendant/Pit Bull owner Cassie Heney for vet and medical bills.   Plaintiff is suing for vet bills, and medical bills after her son, Donovan Lemieux, and her dog were attacked.   

When a pit bull attacks a boy and his pet, its owner blames a burglar for letting it out.   No police report of a burglary, but just the dog being let out, and that was from the defendant's lying lips.     Plaintiff's dog is a 50 lb Lab/German Shepherd mix, and on a leash, when the pit approached, off leash, and attacked the plaintiff's dog.    Kid's hand was bitten by the pit trying to break up the attack.     

The attack happened at the bus stop, and the police and animal control were called.    Plaintiff dropped the dog off at the vet hospital, and then took son to the people hospital.   Vet bills are $3204, and son's bills were nothing, because of medical insurance.   

Defendant's dog is a pit from a rescue, and claims he's his only previous attack was a dog fight with a neighbor's dog.   

Plaintiff has three reports from animal control about previous bites by the same dog, and most were off leash.    One report is Pit mauling a small dog, then there's another one with a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix, and at least one other.    Defendant's idiot boyfriend, Jeffrey Barr, let the dog out, off leash to go potty, and that's how the first fight happened.    

Burglary report is hysterical.   The dog was inside the house when defendant got home, and claims the burglar struck then, let the dog out, then the dog fight happened, and nothing was taken in the burglary.   Defendant claims a neighbor closed the front door, before the police got there.   This is the only recorded incident of a burglar breaking into a home, just to let the dog out. 

To quote Judge Marilyn "I wouldn't believe the defendants if their tongues were notarized".     

Plaintiff gets $5,000.     Pit Bull was rehomed to a  “loving home".    

 

Chicken Massacre?-Plaintiffs Catherine and David Stuckey  suing neighbor /defendant Cynthia Martinez for her dog killing their chickens, and punitive damages.   

 It's  a rural, unincorporated area, where chickens are allowed.    There is a quarter acre, and a fenced yard (90% fenced, but 100% now).     First incident was when the plaintiff got home, there were two chickens dead, ripped apart and the defendant's dog was right there.     (Chickens are named, Katniss, Buffy, Leia, etc., so obviously pets not dinner).     Defendant's dog got out through the gate, and she wrote the plaintiffs a check, $461 for vet bills.    The plaintiffs lost five out of eight chickens.  

Second incident, 16 days later, plaintiff wife heard a noise, and the same dog (she got a picture) of the dog standing over a dead chicken.   It was a repeat of the first incident, dead and dying chickens, and one dog standing in the yard.    Plaintiff has seen the same dog out repeatedly in the following months too.    

Chickens are $35 each, one chicken got stitched up, and the day she was put back in the yard she was slaughtered by the same dog.  Plaintiffs didn't have additional vet bills, because they couldn't afford it, and euthanized the two seriously injured chickens. 

First check for $461 from defendant bounced, because she forged her father's name on the check, and it bounced.     Defendant needs a retouch on her hair, and her lying daughter needs dye work too (yes, I really can't stand the defendant and her daughter).   

Defendant daughter is totally out of control, and gets sent back to her chair by JJ.   Daughter was saying some garbage about the plaintiffs.  

Plaintiffs get $750 for damages, and money for the bounced check, so a total of $1223 for the bounced check, dead chickens, and damages.  (The defendant and her daughter are laughing over the whole case). 

 

Ex-Girlfriend vs. the Truck-Plaintiff/ truck owner Scott Sutton suing defendant/ex-girlfriend Peggy Michael for truck damage when she borrowed his truck to move.   Plaintiff lets woman borrow truck, and there is damage on both sides of his truck that evening.   He thinks she jackknifed, and hit the trailer with his truck.    He trespasses in her back yard to photograph the trailer.   

Plaintiff offered to pay for movers, but defendant decided she wanted to use the plaintiff's truck to move. 

Defendant claims she's the only one who drove the truck, and didn't hit anything.   I hate to break it to JJ, a truck should last for many years, and a ten year old truck is not old in truck years.   I absolutely believe motor mouth defendant did this, and  her brain also seems to be going very fast here in court.   

$2600 to plaintiff.   

Nightmare Tenant-Plaintiff Jaron Osborn suing defendant/ former roommate Lily Dart for illegal eviction, lost work, and property damages.   Plaintiff was renting a room from defendant.  Defendant says room renter was a nightmare tenant.   Plaintiff left his dog alone in his room for over two days.  Defendant is the named leaser of the apartment.   

Plaintiff moved in with dog and cat.  Something is very wrong with the plaintiff's story.   Defendant claims plaintiff left his animals alone for three days one time, and would frequently leave his animals alone on other occasions.   He claims he now lives in his car, and can't live with his sister who is in court. 

Defendant couldn't lock the plaintiff out.   

Plaintiff gets his security deposit back, $525.   

 

5 p.m. episodes-

Gender Reveal Party Pooper!-Plaintiff/mom Jennifer Saveoeun suing defendant/daughter and fiance Angelina Stuart and Fernando Gallegos for $350 for vet bills for defendants’ dog. Defendant daughter and fiance owe plaintiff mom $395 (original vet bill was $1,500) the balance of a loan for vet bills for their dog.   

The other issue is plaintiff allegedly posted mean video and pictures online of daughter and son-in-law (almost son-in-law), and defendants were embarrassed.    So, when Mom refused to stop posting this stuff, everyone got mad, and defendants stopped paying the loan back. Plaintiff Mom is still storing the baby things the defendants bought themselves, and won't give the baby stuff back.   JJ takes this chance to say the Mother is forever, and the fiance may not be around very long.    

JJ's right, the fiance needs to shut up, and butt out.   However, it doesn't sound like the mother and daughter ever had a great relationship.    Mother gives back the baby stuff.  Daughter/defendant claims the vet bill money was a loan.    JJ would have taken the pictures down, and mother didn't like the daughter's tone.     I suspect the mother and daughter won't be best buddies ever. 

$395 for plaintiff, and gifts were returned. 

Judge Judy's Joy for $500 Alex -Plaintiff Taqiyyah Williams suing former roommate/defendant Jasmine Brown for traffic tickets, and getting her car impounded and junked.  Car was impounded and junked after plaintiff couldn't afford to get it out of impound, after defendant had a wreck with plaintiff's car.   (I never heard of a junking in less than 30 days, and many are much longer depending on the jurisdiction).  Wonder if the plaintiff just went out of town, or was in jail or prison?    Defendant was left with the plaintiff's tiny kids, but someone else was supposed to watch the kids.     Defendant is counter-suing for illegal eviction.

JJ has already branded the defendant a liar, and probably the plaintiff, so my guess is she thinks they're both trying to get paid for a car by the show, and are lying and scamming.     

Defendant doesn't have a regular driver's license (at 27), because it was suspended at least twice (speeding, etc.), and claims to have a hardship license.   Hardship license only included going to and from work, grocery store, hospitals, and not visits to relatives, or boyfriends.    Defendant claims to have been going to the emergency room at the time of the accident, and when JJ wants the number of the ER, the defendant changes her lies again.   

Defendant claims she went to the ER at University Hospital with pregnancy issues, and then on the way home she had the wreck, which is a lie.  Defendant went to some friend's house, and had the wreck after that

Defendant has a counter claim, which is hysterical. that plaintiff threw the defendant out after the accident, and car junking.    Defendant's claim is for the usual TV, and clothes, and is  $3000.    Plaintiff says she gave defendant 48 hours to get her stuff, and she didn't so plaintiff claims she threw it out by the curb.   

The plaintiff's vertical stripe black and white top is making me dizzy.

Plaintiff gets $1400 for her car. 

 

Halfway House Fail! - Plaintiff Larry Avis suing defendant/contractor Duane Mathes for not finishing contracted work, and theft.Contractor defendant had no contractor's license, or insurance.    Defendant hired his workers from the halfway house.      Plaintiff was having defendant do drywall work.     Plaintiff hired defendant after seeing pictures of 'his' work on Facebook.     

Plaintiff was downsizing, and work was on a smaller house he bought.      When plaintiff went to check on progress furnace, and appliances weren't in the garage, but were outside, and destroyed by a worker.     Plaintiff hired another company to put in the drywall.    Defendant was fired for theft.       

Defendant was in a halfway house at one time, and hired others from there too.     Defendant was working on another job, so was never there supervising. 

Plaintiff gets $3,000 back, minus the drywall defendant bought for job, which leaves $1525.

 

Son Paid to Care for Sick Mother-Plaintiff/ caretaker Jackleen Husein suing defendant/patient’s son Ronald Mendoza for non-payment for taking care of defendant's mother for a month.   

Plaintiff worked 5 days a week for 5 hours a day.    Defendant applied to state for pay to take care of his mother.   Defendant was paid by the state to take care of his mother in the evening, and he had lived in her house for a long time before that, for free.   

Plaintiff claims the defendant shorted her wages.  The reason the man didn't pay the caretaker was the state would only pay for 2 1/2 hours, not 5, so he didn't pay the rest.  Before the health aide, the mother was alone for up to 12 hours a day, on the defendant's work days.        

Plaintiff was paid $125, and gets the money the state paid  defendant for caring for his mother which was $800, adding up to $925.

(They just showed the E.L.F. cosmetics commercial with JJ starring in it.  It's cute.)

Repossessed or Stolen- Plaintiff Danielle Myrick Barrer suing defendant Kaelin Hedrick for repossessing the car that was in defendant's name, purchased in defendant's name because of plaintiff's bad credit, and plaintiff owed DMV fines, $1,000.    Plaintiff never had a driver's license for the entire year she had the car. Defendant was a friend of plaintiff's daughter, and lived in plaintiff's home for a while.   That's when the car was purchases.      

The defendant claims she only found out the plaintiff didn't have a driver's license when defendant started dating plaintiff's husband, not ex-husband but current husband. 

However, payment records show many late payments over the year.  JJ brings up a good point, that if there had been an accident, the insurance company would have disclaimed. Plaintiff claims car was insured, but she was an unnamed driver.    Plaintiff also owes for a toll violation $103.50.   Defendant is suing for $103.50 for toll violation, defamation, and false CPS reports.   Car was repossessed by the finance company, and sold.  

Defendant gets $103.50 and keeps the car, and plaintiff gets nothing. 

 

Wedding Date Disaster-Plaintiff Chanin Holdt (current wife) and (husband) Loundell Holdt suing defendant/husband's step daughter (daughter of his ex-wife) Crystal Burris and husband  Jason Burris for wedding costs, wedding supplies,  a puppy purchase, and the haggard looking defendant sort of son-in-law DUI fines from 10-years ago.

They paid so his salary wouldn't get his wages garnished.  I really can't stand any of the litigants.    The plaintiffs raise dogs for money, this puppy is from litter number 3, so I officially can't stand the plaintiff's either.  Puppy was $700, and defendant did a stop payment for the check.   

Why would the plaintiffs sell deadbeat stepson-in-law a dog when he owed them so much already?  A text acknowledges that defendants owe for the dog. 

Plaintiffs get $2,978.  

 

Mean Girl Ninjas-Plaintiff Marva Alexander (mother and car owner) and  Michele Ammons (daughter) suing defendants /daughter's former friends Jessica Ali, Tajane Brown, and Briana Johnsonfor car vandallism.  Plaintiff claims when she stopped being friends with the defendants, that they dressed as Ninjas, and vandalized her car.   Plaintiff's witness Alia Thomas, was never mentioned on police reports, and is plaintiff mother's son's girlfriend.   

Defendant was underage, drunk, and plaintiff drove her home.   Then, plaintiff cut off the three underage drinkers, and partiers.   Defendant underage drunk claims plaintiff was drunk too, and drove home drunk.   

Defendants claim plaintiff used an app to spoof her cell phone number, and prank the other defendant.    The license plate number belongs to the car that belongs to the aunt of one of the defendants, the only one of the three that has a driver's license.   Defendant's witness is the mother, who is the sister of the aunt, or the only driver of the defendants.   Jessica Ali, says that she couldn't drive aunt's car, because the license plate was suspended, which never stopped a litigant on this show from driving.   Defendants Johnson and Brown cases are dismissed, judgment is against Ali. 

Plaintiff car was keyed. $750 to the plaintiffs.

My Co-Worker is a Slob-Plaintiff/landlady Wanda Lyon suing defendant/former tenant David Ridgewell for unpaid rent, and cleaning fees.   Defendant’s suing for property he left behind, an antique knife, and wants the value of the property.  Plaintiff rented room to co-worker in a cottage at her house, and she claims he moved out owing a month's rent.     Rent was $300 a month. 

She had to have cottage cleaned beyond normal filth, and he suing for property left behind, that he wants to be paid for.   Defendant claims he left valuables behind, and claims plaintiff told other co-workers he was a slob and owed her money.   

$400 to plaintiff for back rent, and cleaning fees, nothing to defendant for property, and defamation.

5 p.m. episodes-

The Duped Duo-  Plaintiff Erin Shusterich is suing defendant Brian Bolton for the value of a car she claims she bought from defendant, and car disappeared from in front of her house. Plaintiff claims defendant is the seller, and as a scam he resells and steals the car back.   

Plaintiff claims she bought car from defendant, and paid cash, $7,000,  but she admits she never saw the defendant before.  Defendant paid $5,000 for the car, and it disappeared, but that was before plaintiff bought the car.    Plaintiff saw a copy of the car of the supposed seller to defendant, who looks like the man who sold the car to the plaintiff.   

Plaintiff saw ad for car right after theft, and plaintiff bought the car for cash, and couldn't title it because of the title, lien's, etc.     Plaintiff claims defendant conspired with the repeat seller of car, and there is no proof, and defendant is actually a victim also.   Defendant claims he saw another ad for the car he bought, for sale in Tijuana.   

Original theft from defendant was November 2, and plaintiff bought the car on November 5.   There is a copy of the defendant's wife's drivers license, but that was given to the scammer to put the car in defendant's wife's name. 

Apparently, seller used the defendant's name, obtained from when he sold and stole the car back, but defendant is not involved.    Plaintiff and boyfriend just don't get that they were ripped off, and the bill of sale is a forgery.       Plaintiff doesn't realize that a gate community doesn't keep the scammer from stealing the car back with a key fob, and driving out of the gate. 

(I want to congratulate the defendant.  He made mistakes 32 years before this case, and has been sober since.)

Plaintiff has no case.     

 

Co-Worker Hang Up-Plaintiff Chatavia Taylor suing defendant Emmanuel Milton for breaking her flat screen TV. He put it one the wall for her, and it fell off. 

Co-worker/defendant was not a pro at hanging TVs, and it's not his fault.  They both work at Capitol One, which probably doesn't teach you to hang a TV on the wall.  

Case dismissed. 

 

(Warning: This next case is a good case to skip, the video of the attack is horrific, except for the valiant actions of Cody Lucas).   

 

Don't Let Children Watch This-Plaintiff Rayna Magana is suing heartless shrew of a neighbor Lola Rhodes for her two Mastiff/Bull Dogs coming into plaintiff's yard, and savaging her tiny poodle.   

The heroic neighbor, Cody Lucas, waded into the fight, picked up the pits, tossed them back over the fence. The most aggressive male jumped back over the fence, and went after the poodle again, and tossed it back over the fence.  This is all caught on video. 

If you watch carefully, the owner of the vicious dogs is watching from the far side of her back yard.   I think the dog owner actually gets off on watching her animals attack others.   Defendant claims she didn't know about attack, and was inside her house during the attack, and she's a liar.    Plaintiff claims the defendant's dogs jump the common fence into her yard frequently. 

Cody Lucas, my hero. says the dogs look like Pits, not Mastiffs, and he's right.  Defendant says she only has two savage dogs, but plaintiff, and Cody Lucas say there are three Pits.   Animal control was called immediately, and defendant says she would cover the vet bills.     The poor poodle is limping away on three legs.  

Defendant admits she's mentally unbalanced, and truer words were never spoken on this show.  Defendant's son is just as unbalanced as his mother. 

 $5000 to plaintiff.  (That way defendant doesn't get a penny)

Go Back to Where You Came From-Plaintiff Rhiannon Flint (with neon pink hair, it was a fad even this long ago) suing defendant/ex boyfriend Steven Carrell for posting pictures of her online.   

Case dismissed for lack of proof, sent back to small claims court.

Was She High-Plaintiff Kemeico McCrary suing defendant Joshua Fuller  for assault, and breaking her phone during a car ride.  Defendant claims plaintiff assaulted him. 

You know your goose is cooked, when JJ asks the defendant if the plaintiff was high, and everyone says she was, and probably still is. 

Case is dismissed.

4 p.m. episodes-     

Bowling Alley Boutique Bust!-Plaintiff/jewelry seller Kerri Kelley-Chilcoat is suing defendant/vendor space leasor Monica Gutierrez for event space rent back, plus lost revenue $2,000.

Plaintiff booked a vendor space at a bowling alley, claims the space wasn't ready, and there were no other vendors at the space. She    The contract says no refunds.   Defendant uses the foyer at the bowling alley for vendor space.   Defendant pays $200 an day for the bowling alley foyer space.   When defendant books people, then she calls the landlord of the bowling alley and books that day with him. 

Plaintiff/jewelry seller, says she prepaid for 9 events, for $298.     Defendant booked dates that didn't have large parties coming to the alley. So, defendant called plaintiff, told her the dates she booked would have low attendance, and she asked if plaintiff wanted to change dates. So, the defendant wanted to change the dates, and plaintiff did that.    Plaintiff said the first event date had no attendance.   

Defendant said plaintiff could switch to fall, and plaintiff said yes.  but she had no dates compatible with large attendance events.   

JJ says the defendant breached the contract, by not scheduling the other dates.  But the contract said no refunds or reschedules.  Defendant returned $105 to plaintiff. 

Plaintiff wanted a $298 refund, but gets $193, minus $40 for the one event plaintiff came to, so $153.  She also sued for lost revenue for almost $2,000 but didn't get that amount. Defendant counter claim dismissed. 

Housekeeping Bandit?!- Plaintiff Anthony Raimey suing defendant Evetta Pickens for return of rent paid for by defendant from plaintiff’s bank account.   Defendant is accused of stealing from housekeeping client, but claims she stole nothing.   

Plaintiff was having defendant paying his rent from his debit card, and she was paying other bills too.      Plaintiff says woman stole his money, and didn't pay his rent, so he was being evicted.    Plaintiff said landlord served him with an eviction notice for non-payment of rent, and that's when he discovered that defendant was stealing the rent amount, and not paying the landlord for him. 

Landlord is plaintiff's witness, and says defendant paid plaintiff's rent except for the last three months.  

Defendant lies through her teeth, and plaintiff gets $2500.  

Great Oak Bites the Dust-Plaintiffs Richard and Joy Stambaugh are suing defendant/tree removal expert Michael Lovejoy for not hauling the wood away, and stacking the wood plaintiff wanted to keep. Plaintiff had a huge oak tree on his property, wanted it cut down, and wanted some wood from that.    There were also 2 or 3 smaller trees, and haul the wood away.   

At first, plaintiff said the wood cutter was supposed to keep the smaller trees, and haul the half of the oak tree.  Plaintiff says the defendant, tree cutter, didn't complete the job.    The plaintiff is so confusing to listen too. 

Defendant was supposed to leave half of the red oak wood, and stack it.   He didn't stack anything, or remove the other half of the wood.    Plaintiff had to get another person to haul the wood from the oak.     

$300 for plaintiff, but he's a total pain.  

 

The Judge Talks Roofing!-Plaintiffs Chaz and Jenice Knight suing defendant/former roofer Ralph Salinas for bad work, plus re-roofing costs, and enclosing or building a garage on their house, allowing water damage to happen. 

Defendant roofer claims re-roof didn't include removing old roofing materials, before re-roofing.   Roofer claims plaintiffs, and a former employee of his that plaintiffs hired did the roof removal themselves, and water leaks were their problem.   I'm so glad the places I've lived in for the past 20 years don't allow two layers of roofing.   Roofer claims tearing off old roof, is called a tear off, then putting new shingles on is different from re-roofing, which is only shingling over the existing shingles. 

Roofer just sassed JJ, and I'm hoping Byrd chases him out of the court with the Fly Swatter of Death.   Re-roof vs tear off is not in the contract, and the additional $2800 for more work was not in a written contract.   Roofing job went on for weeks, and never got finished, and there were multiple water leaks and damage to the house.  Witness for plaintiffs is the ex-employee of the roofer.   Total job was $26,000 for the garage, and the house roof. 

$5,000 to plaintiff.  

 

5 p.m. episodes-    

 

Never Pepper Spray a Cop's Kid-Plaintiffs Robin and Scott Gildenare suing defendant/Doberman owner Travis Ogle over vet bills after a dog attack.  Unleashed defendant dog (while untangling the leash, the dog escaped), and plaintiff's leashed dog fought, plaintiff sprayed the dogs with pepper spray, and nailed the defendant's  little girl too.   

Defendant paid some of the vet bills ($510), plaintiff's dog also needed a consultation and root canal.  Root canal bills amounted to $3,000.  

Defendant counter suing for the assault on the child (dismissed), and then plaintiffs came to his police station to harass him.   It would be a cold day in hell when I paid the plaintiffs for doggy cosmetic dental work, like a root canal. 

 There is no expert witness saying the root canal is directly a result of the fight.   JJ will not pay the plaintiffs for cosmetic dentistry.

Harassment charges stem from plaintiff getting aggressive with her status as an attorney, even after defendant paid the $510 vet bill.    Plaintiff husband actually threatened he would file an official complaint against defendant police officer.  

Cases dismissed.  (I would have given defendant some money for the plaintiffs harassing him at his job). 

Vandal's Apology Caught on Text!-Plaintiff Jerry Moye III suing defendant Jarri Fowler for car damages.  Defendant claims he didn't vandalize the plaintiff's car at a night club, however defendant sent texts apologizing for the damage.   Defendant says plaintiff hit his car while parallel parking, and so he broke all of the windows in the plaintiff's car in retaliation. 

Defendant's ridiculous story is that he damaged his own car.  Defendant also claims his tire was slashed. 

Plaintiff gets $1,540 (Plaintiff claims he tapped the defendant's bumper, but there was no damage to defendant's car, only to plaintiff's car).

 

Divorcees Fight Over Son's Assault-(I disagree with JJ, I think if private lawyer wasn't agreed to by both parents, then the father isn't committed to paying for the attorney fees, however, JJ disagreed with me.) 

Plaintiff Laurie Bibby suing defendant/her ex, and child’s father Michael Negrifor half of the cost of a private attorney for their son (son was 17 at the time of the assault), after son was charged with assault.      JJ called attorney fees necessary.   However, if the son wasn't assaulting other people, then he wouldn't have needed an attorney.     

I see no reason why son gets a private attorney, and JJ calls it a requirement that defendant pay half.   Public defenders are fine for criminals. 

Plaintiff gets $2500.   

 

House Flipping Flop-Plaintiff contractor/first time house flipper Sean Graffam suing defendant David Dicentfor $5k, for damaging a work truck, and extra work he had to perform after defendant performed bad work.     

Real estate broker/flipper paid for supplies, and defendant was paid $1500 for labor only.   Defendant claims the bad 'paint' was actually bad drywall by plaintiff.   Plaintiff pays everyone in cash, no benefits.   

 Case dismissed, no proof.

Evidence Showdown ; Independence Day Attack (This is the case where the defendant says in the hall-terview that it's negligence to walk your dog on the Fourth of July.)

 

Texas Hot Eviction-Plaintiff/former tenant Altiha Boyd suing defendant/former landlady Michelle Sims for return of rent, and return of property. Plaintiff was tenant of the Wicked Witch of Texas landlady.  There is nothing minor about loss of air conditioning in the summer in Texas for over a month.   (This was in Desoto TX). 

I hope Section 8 bans the mother and daughter from ever leasing to anyone on public assistance.     Landlady also claims tenant moved her mother and grandmother in, but tenant says they were there for her graduation.  Landlady claims they had air conditioning, but that was only a small window unit in the bedroom.  The 30-day notice was issued in retaliation for the complaints to the housing authority.  

 Plaintiff moves in under Section 8, and air conditioning fails a few days later.   The landlady didn't even get anyone to look at the AC for almost a week, and there was no AC, except finally one window unit.   After a complaint to Section 8, the daughter (who managed the property) evicted the tenant.   

$2150 to  plaintiff, and applause from the audience.   

Teen Robbed by Mother-Plaintiff /daughter Amber Fleece suing defendant/mother Cynthia Fleece for identity theft for utility accounts.  Daughter  found her mother stole her identity for a utility account when the girl was a 15 or 16, but didn't find out about the identity theft until she was 19, had two kids of her own, and full-time jobs. 

Mother basically (sorry JJ for using that word) excuses everything because she was a Sainted SIngle Mother of Two (SSMOT), and had two foster children for seven years.   Mother of the year says it was either steal the identity, or work the streets.     SSMOT didn't pay the bill either.    JJ puts in a little ad for birth control until you are established.   

Daughter found out about the utility bill, and the delayed payment, and she later found out there were other utility accounts owing from the mother.   

$1600 to daughter.   

5 p.m. episodes-

Dirty Politics in a Union Election?!-Two plaintiffs / Ericka and Gerard Tcheumani claim that AFGE union for nurses candidates for officers /defendants Phil Oliva,  Eugenia WIliamson, Diane  Howell, and Betty Terry sent out fliers that defamed them.   

The three defendants were elected, and one woman is organizer and past officer.  Eight hundred fliers were sent out to members, and only a few people have the membership list, or so the plaintiffs claim, but the mailing list would be accessible to any past or current officer, or anyone who sent out mailers.   

Plaintiffs are husband and wife, and you get a bonus for recruiting members, and wife authorized many checks for husband for recruiting.  Flyers give qualifications of candidates, and claim that there are financial irregularities in checks issued.  The two plaintiffs, and witness all received $1200 each for recruiting 12 new members each (the number sounds fishy to me).   

I really wonder how any of these people, on either side, can work together after this election, and this case?   This local union is separate from the union the woman plaintiff was a member of during the recruits the payments cover.   

How can plaintiff wife work at one location, and belong to the local for a location that she doesn't work at?    I suspect that the defendants are right, but will never be able to prove it.   The former president never should have been able to approve payments to his wife, that's simply a bad business practice.  

Everything dismissed. (At least I think that's what happened).  (The good part is three of the defendants won in the election, and plaintiff is no longer an officer).

 

Sub-Lease Deadbeat-Plaintiffs/ landlords Tahira Bellot and Alelia Munroe (mother of Bellot) suing defendant /sub lease tenant Dennis Byron for non-payment of rent, and late fees.     Defendant paid nothing for the first six days in May, other months he was late, so late fees applied.   

Six months later he didn't pay the rent, and plaintiff's mother paid it, and defendant repaid her.   Then the next month he didn't pay, but he was still there.   The plaintiff evicted him.   The mother paid the rent, so her daughter wouldn't have an eviction on her record.  

(Defendant currently lives "In an undisclosed location", so his counter claim was dismissed) 

Plaintiff receives $1357. =$183 = $1540

 

Neighbor Survey Changes Everything-Plaintiff Kendrick Hardaway suing defendant Dorsey Rembert for damage to his property by defendant's dogs, and costs for surveys.   Defendant says he believed the area he put yard trash, and where dogs were was on his property.   

After plaintiff's survey proved the opposite, man cleared up yard trash, put up a fence on his side, and dogs were only on his property.    (The defendant is misunderstanding how surveying works).    Plaintiff has no proof of survey payment, so that's gone.   

Case dismissed without prejudice, so he can get proof and go back to court.

19 February (Due to the NASCAR race, no JJ episodes aired, so here's the old recap).

4 p.m. episodes-

Narcotics, Divorce and Debt-Plaintiff grandmother suing defendant/ her son's ex-wife for childcare costs for her own grandchildren, and an unpaid loan.   Ex-husband borrowed money from his mother for another family vehicle, while they were married.   Marital debt, I know how this will come out.      During the divorce the $10k shortfall on repossession of minivan they bought was not listed as a marital debt on the divorce paperwork.   Plaintiff ex-husband pays no child support, and is often unemployed.   JJ gives the Byrd boot to the plaintiff ex-husband, and deadbeat father. 

Note to litigants, when JJ asks you when you went to jail, don't ask her which time? If you want any sympathy from JJ or Byrd.   

JJ dismisses loan case, and says plaintiff should get it from her deadbeat son.   Grandmother also wants to be paid for taking care of, and supervising visitation with her own grandchildren, also dismissed. In hall-terview druggie deadbeat father says his solution will be to sue for full custody.  

Break a Leg-Plaintiff suing defendant/ ex-boyfriend for harassment, unpaid loan.   Loan was for medical costs for defendant's child, $400, and promising repayment within two weeks.   Defendant wanted more money from plaintiff and she said no.  Defendant seems totally out of control, and is vague on a lot of dates, and loan details. 

 $400 to plaintiff. 

Booty Call or Dognap Call? -Plaintiff is suing ex-girlfriend for stealing his dog, and for vet bills.   However, defendant claims she can prove she bought the dog, and he said she could only see the dog if she slept with him. 

 So, she agreed, came over, and when he was out of the room, she grabbed the dog and ran.   

Plaintiff gets $1,000, for the dog, but no legal fees.  Defendant keeps the dog.

5 p.m. episodes-

Arrested for Mysterious Thigh-Kick?! -Plaintiff suing defendant/ex- and mother of some of his kids for bail he had to post after her false police report resulted in his arrest.

Plaintiff/ ex-boyfriend,  and defendant /ex-girlfriend live in the same place, it's a multi-family apartment house (she has 8 children, 4 with plaintiff).    She lives upstairs, he lives downstairs, and there is a tenant between them who actually pays $900 a month.   

Defendant has lived there for 22 years, and paid no rent.   Defendant claims the house is hers, but she's never paid a penny on it.    Her job is 5 p.m. to midnight, she works in "sports events".     Plaintiff is a driver for a company, and he owns the house.   

Defendant has assigned parking, and tenant of middle unit has the driveway exclusively for his use.    Defendant parked in driveway, blocking tenant out of his driveway, and she had her useless fanny inside the car, and was studying.    Tenant was obviously ticked about her blocking the driveway, and he started taking his property inside the house, and kept moving past her.    Then when she wanted to leave, he had her blocked inside the driveway, and he refused to move.    When she got mad, and demanded that the tenant move his truck, he told her that he would leave when he got good and ready.       

When plaintiff came home, he saw where she parked, and started videoing her, and caught her making a false police report.   Later that night police officers showed at his house, and said defendant claimed he kicked her on the thigh.    Defendant claims plaintiff won't let her move out, abuses her, accuses her of kidnapping the children, and it's all lies.   I hope the plaintiff had her evicted after this. 

When plaintiff was arrested he had to post a $50k bond, and it cost him $5k, and JJ gives him $5k. 

Recess for a New Generation!-Plaintiff suing defendant Carmen for value of a laptop destroyed by the defendant’s daughter.    Teenager re-enacts a YouTube laptop throwing stunt, and grabbed plaintiff's bag with the laptop in it, and threw it.  Plaintiff mother suing for cost of laptop.   

 Defendant mother, claims there is a school rule that nothing that happens to a laptop at school that there is no responsibility to anyone but the owner, however she has nothing to prove that.  Defendant daughter admits she took the laptop bag, and threw it, breaking the laptop.      Carmen the defendant is not smart, and  a total fool. 

$327 to plaintiff for the smashed laptop, and says if the fictional teen who threw it first can be found (Joaquin), then defendant can sue the other parent for half of $327.   Joaquin doesn't exist.  

Bag of Rice Cellphone Trick!-Plaintiffs suing defendant for ruining two iPhones when he pushed defendant into a pool.  

Fool defendant sends a picture of himself flipping a bird with his text messages.   JJ says she doesn't understand people sending nasty pictures that they would be ashamed to have their grandmother see, and defendant fool says JJ reminds him of his grandmother.    JJ says she doesn't give a damn who she reminds him of.     Plaintiffs upgraded phones, but only want value of original phones.   

Value of the phones to plaintiffs

Mother of the year says it was either steal the identity, or work the streets.

And from the looks of her she wouldn't get much business... .wasn't she dramatic when she said she "wouldn't put a mattress on her back"?

I may be a hard hearted beyatch but I wouldn't forgive the mother so easily.

4 p.m. episodes-    

A Dog, a Snake, a Fish and My Son-Plaintiff mother Angel Kelley claims the two young defendants, TraShaune Jimmerson and Jeffrey Sullivan, lost her snake, her dog was injured, and the fish was dead, by her second visit back to her house. 

Who thinks a 19- and 20- year-old are going to be responsible adults? She's suing for vet bills, house damages, and return of personal belongings.     Plaintiff got a job in another state, so left her 20-year-old son,   in the house, with his 19-year-old buddy.   

Plaintiff kicked out one roommate, and the other defendant moved in.  On the second trip back the house was trashed, and many items missing from house.   Items were advertised on social media by second roommate, including the snake.         

Plaintiff claims house is now unlivable.    Plaintiff is suing the two roommates, but not her own son.    Defendants only paid one month's rent from August until December, so they were squatters.   Plaintiff wanted to have the dog flown, but would have to come back home to pick up and take her snake, because in the immortal words of Samuel L. Jackson, "Snakes on a plane", doesn't work for airlines.    

Defendant TraShaune says everything plaintiff claims was stolen from the house is in the house.  

Defendants also claim house was being foreclosed on, so they didn't need to pay rent. Bet that was one interesting house to live next to, I'm sorry for the neighbors, but not the homeowner.   Defendants are counter suing for return of rent, return of property, and illegal eviction, dismissed. 

Case dismissed, plaintiff is losing house anyway, and hasn't paid mortgage in months.  Plaintiff should have sued for unpaid rent, but didn't.  

Counterfeit Designer Watch -Plaintiff Hale Benton, suing defendant/pawn shop owner  Rick Rudisill for selling him a fake Rolex.      

There is a Rolex expert that confirms the watch is a counterfeit. JJ says plaintiff should have had the watch appraised before buying.  Since the pawnshop receipt says “Lady’s Rolex, $800” it’s an open-and-shut case.

JJ’s decision was $800 to plaintiff.

 

Pilfered Belongings-Plaintiff /former roommate Danielle Pomeroy is suing defendants/ former roommate Rick Graham, Erin Feltmeyer, Rebecca Smith, and another roommate, for stolen personal property, cost of a hotel room, etc.  Two defendants lived in the apartment before, and after the plaintiff lived in the apartment, so they have no responsibility, just Graham and Feltmeyer. 

 Plaintiff witness is another roommate, Billy, who helped plaintiff leave after the confrontation. Plaintiff claims she left in fear of her life, claims defendant drilled holes in walls, and her belongings went missing.   When plaintiff went back to the home to get her property, she took her father, and Billy, with police presence to oversee the move, and she found everything she owned was gone. 

 $1175 for plaintiff, and I hope to never be near any of the litigants, ever.     

Baby Daddy Drama-Plaintiff/ child’s mother Veronica De Nova suing defendant/ father of her child Tommy Herrera for daycare costs, for two months that defendant was out of town, equaling $800.   

Defendant does the outfield padding in outfields for Major League Baseball.   

Plaintiff gets $800.  

Raging Party, Missing Laptop- Plaintiff Thomas Gannon suing defendant/former roommate Joshua Curl for a missing laptop, and book bag that disappeared during the defendant's party, while plaintiff was out of town. 

Plaintiff's witness (current girlfriend)  Claire Babala claims she saw the defendant with the back pack.   

There is not enough proof for JJ, and no money is awarded.  I would have given the plaintiff money for his laptop and backpack. 

5 p.m. episodes-

 Mother's Mortgage Mishap-Plaintiff/former roommate Elena Coyne suing defendant / (condo owner mother) Denise Pinnone and (son) Alex Vincent tenant for return of unpaid rent and security deposit, and internet costs.  Plaintiff was tenant of defendant's condo, owned by his mother.      Son took the condo over, and rented the room to the tenant.   

Condo was in foreclosure before owner moved to Florida, leaving son in condo.    Son was supposed to take care of mortgage, but didn't.    There was a foreclosure settlement, after tenant moved in, when defendant used tenant's money to pay.   

Plaintiff gets $3100, but could have sued for $4226.

Company and Fish Start to Stink-Plaintiff Marquan Dean suing defendant/former friend Amber Pawlak for cost to reupholster couch, after defendant's son slashed her couch with a knife.   

Plaintiff stayed at defendant's house for six months rent free.   Couch and other furniture was stored in defendant's garage, and when deadbeat finally moved out she found the damage to the couch, and blamed the little boy.   

Cases dismissed.  

Woman Assaults Father of Her Child-Plaintiff Tiffny Jones suing defendant (father of her child) Remmi Wallace for totaling her Toyota Yaris.   Woman moved from California to Florida, and left car in Florida.   

Defendant was driving, had an accident, and the car was totaled.  Plaintiff had the car shipped to California, and wants the car repaired.    Car is only worth $1800, but plaintiff wants $4,000 for car. 

Case dismissed, plaintiff gets zero.

4 p.m. episodes-    and Galili Ivanova

Miniature Dachshund Mayhem!  -Plaintiff (Mini Dachshund owner) George Steenkilk suing defendants Yulia Ivanova (dog walker) walking dog owned by Ms. Galili and husband (I couldn't get the names) for injuries from a dog fight.  Brian Stratton is the plaintiff's dog walker, and testifies about the Both dogs were leashed, and walked on leashes, defendant dog was a Boxer mix.   

Walkers were meeting in alley, with leashed dogs, and then Boxer mix attacked, dog walker plaintiff punched, and kicked Boxer to get it to let go of the dog, then Boxer was on leash, but dragging leash on the ground and approached plaintiff's dog again.   

Defendant dog walker claims she told plaintiff walker to stay away from her dog.  Defendant blames everything on the plaintiff’s mini Dachshund.   I blame the plaintiff dog walker letting the doxie walk on a long leash, and let it get in the Boxer's face.   Plaintiff had flexi leash, and JJ believes what defendant says about warning given.    Plaintiff case dismissed for vet and medical bills.   

$110 for medical bills to defendant.   

Madman Money?! -Plaintiff David Komor suing defendant /ex-girlfriend Mikela Conley for unpaid loan to pay off her car.  Plaintiff claims it was a loan, but defendant claims it was a payment to her for damage to her car.   

Plaintiff figured defendant wouldn't repay him, after a month he retitled car in his name, and a few days later the defendant's new boyfriend somehow retitled car in his name, and later sold the car.  

$2,000 to plaintiff.  

Kyell and Stacy KaioskyMcClosky Rodrigues and Taylor 

Floating Wedding Gift-Plaintiffs Kyell and Stacy McCrosky suing former friends /defendants Gabriel  Rodrigues and  Jana Taylor fighting over payment for a boat, and trailer. Boat was a wedding gift to the plaintiffs, and they only used the boat once, and were selling the boat to defendants.  Defendants agreed to $2,000 payment, with $1,000 down. 

Defendants bought boat, didn't even see if it floated, and now don't want to pay for it.    Defendants took boat out a month later, and it didn't start.   Then defendant checked the boat out with a mechanic.   Defendants actually paid another $300 after they knew the boat needed work, and wasn't sea worthy.   I do not believe anyone who says "altercation" instead of argument or fight, the way defendant did.    Defendants were buying the boat, then wanted the plaintiffs to take the boat back and refund their money. 

$700 to plaintiffs, title to defendants.   Plaintiff claims the defendant Rodriguez damaged the boat. 

Illegal Lockout-Plaintiff Macknora Smith admits to changing locks because ex-boyfriend Christopher Jenkings was sneaking in after being kicked out.   Plaintiff wants lock changing fees, and unpaid rent.  They only lasted a month together.   

Plaintiff lived in apartment for the rest of the year, and only sued after lease period ended.   She claims ex would let himself in, and hang out in the apartment all day, while she was out.   Plaintiff never notified defendant of rent owing.   

Case dismissed. 

5 p.m. episodes-

 

Kidnapping and Assault-Plaintiff Evette Pratt suing defendant/grandmother Merceda Jones of her children because she claims that she had to break into grandmother’s house to retrieve her children, she wants return of property, filing of false CPS charges.   

Plaintiff is having the world's longest U.S. divorce going on since 2012, from estranged husband. Two kids are his, one is a step kid to him. Iinitial divorce filing was in 2012, but plaintiff left Texas, and so husband couldn't file there. So defendant ex husband had to file in 2017 again.   

Plaintiff left kids at grandmother, defendant is the mother of estranged husband.         Defendant wanted them picked up Saturday morning, so defendant could go to a family birthday party,  and plaintiff refused.  (Plaintiff is wearing a very cheap ugly wig, is there a wig store right outside the courtroom?).     

Plaintiff never picked the kids up on Saturday, and left children with grandma until the next Thursday.    As usual, plaintiff's call log is unavailable, but grandma has 21 calls to plaintiff to pick up her kids, but she never answered. 

Plaintiff wants what she left at grandma's when the police fetched her children.   Plaintiff also decided she wanted her kids now, so she broke down the door at the grandmother's.     Plaintiff left no money with the grandmother to take care of her kids for a week.   

Plaintiff gets $200 for the property left behind at the grandmother's place, but that's gone from the lack of payment to defendant for the care of the three children for over a week.  

$425 to defendant to replace door.  This is minus the $200 to plaintiff. 

 

Define “Restitution” Your Honor-Plaintiff Karen Watkins suing defendant/former friend and roommate Shirley Jackson Jr  for property kept in the garage at defendant's during plaintiff's incarceration.   

Plaintiff thinks Nolo Contendre isn't a guilty plea. (I'm a graduate of the Law & Order, LA Law school of law, and it is pleading guilty), for burglary from defendant, and plaintiff didn't pay the restitution. 

 Then, plaintiff's witness starts chiming in, and gets the Byrd boot.   Defendant is counter suing for unpaid rent.   

Plaintiff case dismissed, since plaintiff is suing victim of her crime, and not paying restitution.  JJ tells defendant to see the district attorney about her restitution. JJ will wait for the resolution of the case against plaintiff. 

 

War Waged over "Gucci" the Yorkie! -Plaintiff Janine Mincy suing defendant (had dog for a while) Vernelle Sebastian and (his sister, and current owner of the dog) Danielle Dennis for the value of Yorkie repaid to her, or the dog back. 

Defendant has had the dog for two full years.   Plaintiff was living with the mother, and it was a no dogs apartment, so plaintiff had to move.    How did plaintiff "lose" her apartment?  

Plaintiff asked defendant witness to take care of Yorkie, and never gave him any money for the dog care.    Plaintiff did the defendant Sebastian's hair, and he brought the dog over at the same time.    Several months later the plaintiff got an apartment, and she discovered that defendant man had given the dog to his sister, the other defendant.     Dog has been with defendant sister for almost two years.   

This is when the plaintiff stomps out, and yells she's calling the police when she gets home.   I'm sure this will be handled by the Major Crimes squad, and involve a SWAT team breaking down the door to get Gucci back for plaintiff.  Mommy follows plaintiff daughter out too. 

Defendants have a counterclaim for man's car having windows broken out by plaintiff.   Defendant was granted a  Protective Order against the plaintiff, in January of 2019, order good until 2020.       There were also threats posted on social media, including a picture of a gun sent by plaintiff.    Defendant has proof she's had the dog over two full years, and the photos of Gucci are adorable.   

Plaintiffs get $2000.

4 p.m. episodes-    

False Arrest by Angry Neighbor!-Plaintiff Dale Faux (pronounced Fox) suing neighbor/defendant John Yates for having him falsely arrested.  Plaintiff was irritated about defendant's dog coming on the his property, and the dog attacked plaintiff twice.  Defendant refused to keep dog confined, and animal control was called.  (Defendant moved before this case is even heard, and I'm glad) 

Defendant was piling trash against fence on plaintiff's property, and plaintiff removed the trash.   Defendant piled up more trash, plaintiff removed that pile of trash, then defendant filled the area by the fence again. Then, defendant filed a police complaint, and had plaintiff arrested for stealing that property.   However, defendant admits he knew the fence was on the plaintiff's property. (this was in Dover Florida)

Defendant's wife, Norma Halverson, says the 'trash' was paint they were using, and other household items.   Wife also claims the fence was their fence, but the junk is all on the plaintiff's property.     The survey showed fence was well on plaintiff's property.   Defendant's ridiculous counter claims dismissed, he wanted lawyer fees.   

$500 to plaintiff for harassment.   

Shih Tzu Hostage Crisis-Plaintiff Courtney Jones sues defendant/ex Brian Cooper for veterinary bills, and the return of "her" dog.   They bought the dog from some backyard breeder off of craigslist.  

Defendant bought puppy for $400, and dog is in court, adorable, and very quiet.  It is obvious plaintiff doesn't want the dog, just wants to infuriate the defendant.   

Plaintiff told to sell the TV, and buy her own puppy.   Defendant keeps adorable puppy.  

 

Crazy Crash Caught on Tape! -Plaintiff Alysha Reed suing defendant Phillip Hayes for hitting her parked car (and two other cars), and then fleeing the scene.   Defendant was speeding through a parking lot, almost hit a woman walking in the parking lot, hitting three cars, and then fled the scene.   Meghan Bloomfield is plaintiff's witness, heard a bang, looked outside, saw the car collision, and called Alysha (her upstairs neighbor).   Police couldn't do anything because parking lot is private property. 

There is video, and a weak explanation for speeding, hit and run, and being a jerk.    Plaintiff has a video of the parking lot collision, and a witness who saw the hit-and-run.  Defendant claims he swerved to avoid plaintiff, and claims he talked to her after the accident.  Defendant wasn't in the parking lot, but her witness was.    (This happened in Ypsilanti, MI).  JJ watches the video, sees the accident, and calls the defendant an idiot. 

Plaintiff gets $3200 , since defendant, as usual, had no insurance.

Drunk Video Confession-Plaintiffs Laquita Normil and (boyfriend) Damien Boyd suing defendant/ Solomon Wright Jr and his cousin Nancy Johnson for stealing her cell phone.   Plaintiff claims they met defendant at bar, there was a fight, and her cell phone ended up with defendant.   

Phone Find Me GPS showed it at defendant Wright's house.    Defendant looks virtually asleep.   

Phone was $336, and that's what plaintiff receives.

Boy Band Payback-Plaintiff Tiffany Reynolds wants defendant Taylar Adair to repay the cost for boy band tickets (One Direction is the band).   

Arrangement was to pay $50 a week for four weeks.    Plaintiff was owed $200 for tickets, and received nothing.   

 $200 to plaintiff. 

5 p.m. episodes-

My Pit Bull Is Like Scooby Doo!-Plaintiff Dolores Hernandez (driver and dog owner) and (daughter/ paid the vet bill) Christina Hernandez suing defendant /Pit Bull owner John Hopton for a vet bills.   

Defendant claims his dog is the Pit Bull equivalent of Scooby Doo, and that is just wrong.     Plaintiff mother was backing out, defendant man was backing out, and they collided, and insurance paid for it.   

After the collision defendant's wife came out of the house, and the pit bull came with her, off leash.    Pit bull ran across the street, and attacked the plaintiff's dog on the plaintiff's property.   Plaintiff's chihuahua mix was attacked by pit bull on the front lawn of the plaintiff's house. Chihuahua was not on a leash, but was on the front lawn of the plaintiffs' home.  The Pit attacked the plaintiffs' dog, then ran back across to the defendant.  

Defendant claims the Pit and Chihuahua mauling was almost in the street.  And he's absolutely lying. Mrs. Hopson is chiming in constantly. 

Homeowner's insurance refused to cover the Pit Bull.   (Please, not the Grandfather's Pit Bull ripped off my Grandson's face letter again!).   

Defendant objects to paying for anesthesia for the Chihuahua, what a heartless and cruel person defendant and wife are.     Letter says homeowner's insurance will not cover Pit Bulls, or mixes. I hope AAA cancelled defendant's insurance.    Defendant is a jerk, and his wife is just as bad.  WIfe gets the Byrd boot.     Description of Pit sounds like one of the massive Pit crosses with something bigger and even more aggressive.  AAA is the insurance company, and they don't cover pit bulls. 

Vet bills to plaintiff, $2,300.     

 

Car Slammed Into Newspaper Stand-  Plaintiffs Rosanne Fanning (mother and car driver) and (daughter and car owner) Megan Fanning was wrecked by defendant Harutayun Kokanyan for pain and suffering for losing her car. Plaintiff's insurance covered her car damages, but defendant's company covered nothing for plaintiff.    Plaintiff driver was coming out of parking lot onto the street, and defendant was coming down the street, and hit the front wheel of her car. 

Police report states that defendant was having a seizure when he hit plaintiff's car, and three other cars, and defendant has a history of seizures.    Plaintiff daughter (car owner, not at accident) wants pain and suffering for her car being damaged.   Plaintiff daughter gets the boot, and is still telling mother what to say on her way out of court.  

Defendant remembers virtually nothing of the accident, and I think he's lying about not having seizures.    The other three cars that were hit by defendant were parked on the street. 

Case is dismissed.  Plaintiff driver partially in the street, and that's why she was hit.  She didn't have right of way.  However, I believe what plaintiff says about defendant's actions before and after the accident. 

Condemned!-   Plaintiff Nina Walsh rented an office space for storage, claims defendant /landlord Chris Atterberry was renting it as a studio apartment, and is suing for return of rent, security deposit, and utilities, plus relocation assistance.   

However, the ad, and lease clearly state it's storage space, and not living space.  By an amazing coincidence, code enforcement dropped by just in time to inspect to see that plaintiff was living there.   Plaintiff denies she was living there.   

Plaintiff wants all of her rent back, and a bunch of other stuff.    Plaintiff claims she was living with her boyfriend's mother, and wanted to store three storage units worth of property in the rented space.    Plaintiff gives rent receipts that are obvious forgeries, at least JJ says they're obvious forgeries.   Plaintiff talked to code enforcement in August, but stayed until September, even though she says the building was condemned. 

Defendant says plaintiff and her dog were living in the building. 

 $175 to plaintiff, and she really didn't deserve that.  I wouldn't give her any rent back. 

 

Dating Inventors Butt Heads! -Plaintiff Paulette Clapp suing defendant Christopher Curry for unpaid loan, and unauthorized credit card charges.  Plaintiff says she was paying defendant for patent advice for her shoe invention, and for him looking at the application papers, and it costs $7500, including over $2500 on her credit cards.   

Defendant claims money was payment for his advice, but plaintiff claims it was a loan against her life insurance, and because his bank account was compromised.   Plaintiff gave man $5,000, plus he charged $2500 on her credit card.   

Plaintiff gets $5,000. 

(They keep showing the Judge Beauty commercial  with JJ starring in it for E.L.F. cosmetics, it's kind of cute).

4 p.m. episodes-

Flirting Turned Fighting-Plaintiff  Sioban Huggins suing defendant/ ex-boyfriend Sheldon Henderson for assaulting her, and damaging her car after she gave him a ride home from the club, and she claims it was because he was jealous.   

Plaintiff drove to police station, and defendant walked to the police station, and then officers chased after defendant (why can't we have a video of this one?), and a week later defendant was arrested.   I hate defendant saying "You understand what I'm saying" in every other sentence.  Case is still pending.   

Because of the pending case, JJ wants an estimate for the one car door, and won't rule on anything else.  $450 to plaintiff.   

Child Support and the 65-Inch TV-Plaintiff LaToya Sherrod suing baby daddy/ defendant Jamar Harris for TV set, $300, she was buying from defendant, also suing him  harassment, and filing a false restraining order,.  Price of TV was $500, she paid defendant $300 deposit, and then $240 later.   

Then, there was a burglary at his apartment, and the TV was stolen.     JJ has to remind plaintiff that a 5-year-old doesn't need a 65-inch TV.  Defendant does have a police report.   Defendant filed for a restraining order, but dropped it before the TV deal.   

Case dismissed.

Shih Tzu Saved from Euthanization! ; Stiff Back, Stiffed Doctor

5 p.m. episodes-

Alimony Hell-Plaintiff Jennifer Doane suing ex-husband John Doane for over payment of alimony (she's been paying him alimony for 8 1/2 years, at $1400 a month), and apparently an autopay for his cell phone plan was included on her bank account.  The litigants go outside to see what the divorce decree says. 

They were married for 9 years, and she has had to pay 8 years of alimony to defendant.   

$3,337 for cell phone bill, was auto pay on ex-wife's account, and plaintiff gets that money.    

 

Police Witness Vandalism!- Plaintiff Dwayne Hall suing ex Angela Grabble for the SUV back that she has now.  Plaintiff Dwayne admits he slashed his ex-girlfriend's tires in front of police officers.   

SUV was retitled in current wife's name, instead of plaintiff, and instead of ex-girlfriend.   Ex-girlfriend claims she used her financial aid to get his SUV out of the repair shop, but plaintiff claims his friend paid for the car repairs, and because plaintiff's license was suspended.   Defendant was "and" on the title, but she sold the car anyway. 

 How stupid does the plaintiff have to be to slash the ex's tires in front of police officers?   Turn on the TV, and you'll see.   He brought the wife as a witness to confront the ex-girlfriend?    Bet there was a lot of overlap there.    I wonder if the new side piece is in court too?   The defendant's hairdo is something else. 

Defendant is another one who never brings receipts, and is paying for everything from her financial aid (student loans I guess?).  What a shock, plaintiff titled SUV in question in his name, and girlfriend, because he had a DUI, and can't get a license.   Dwayne / plaintiff lost his temper, and flattened the SUV tires, in front of police officers he called to claim she stole his car.   Dwayne is about to get the JJ stomp, and deserves it.     

Nothing for the plaintiff, and defendant is so clueless she doesn't realize she won, and keeps the car.       

 

It's Not My Fault You're a Bad Driver! (aka Driveway Dust Up)-Plaintiff Janra Powell suing contractor / defendant Andrew Sims for the driveway/garage she hired him to construct.   She wanted brick third garage added to her house, and driveway.   HOA, and probably Code Enforcement wouldn't let you add to the sidewalk, and driveway curb cuts (they're expensive, and most places don't allow add-ons unless homeowner wants to pay for it).   

Homeowner/plaintiff approved architect's plans, and contractor/defendant says it was according to budget, and codes.    Because of the permit issue, the driveway to the add-on is curved to the original driveway per code there.   

 I see nothing wrong with the architect's plans, and I can only imagine how much the HOA, and city would charge for a new curb cut, meters moved, or whatever else it would entail. 

The straight third section of driveway would dominate the front yard, and could interfere with utility lines.   JJ is wrong the curved driveway uses less concrete than going straight down to the street.  It's obviously more concrete, labor, rebar, etc. to do the third section of driveway from the house to the street. 

My view is plaintiff approved and signed off on everything, but thought defendant could do what she wanted, but HOA and code enforcement rules beat plaintiff's demands. 

Plaintiff case dismissed. 

 

Tyrannical Roommate?! ( aka Roommate Kerfuffle)-Plaintiff K. Michelle Schwarz suing for rent, and return or value of property from defendant/former roommate Ryan Norris.   Defendant gave notice in December that he was leaving by 1 February, but left the end of December.  Since defendant left before January, landlady didn't have time to advertise room for rent, so he loses that month.   Plaintiff also wants damage to furniture, and property theft, but former roommate (tenant before defendant moved in) claims 'missing' furniture was his , and he left it behind.   

Then, the landlady says the tenant took a desk, chair, and lingerie (did I hear that right?).  Supposedly the former roommate met the defendant, and the former roommate gave him the furniture, man owes $550 for the January rent, and has to return the desk and chair.     There is a bad vibe coming off of plaintiff, and defendant, and the plaintiff witness looks like he's going to fall on the floor at any second.     

No receipt by landlady for 'damages", so she gets $550 for lost rent, minus security.

Shocking Teen Assault Video! -Plaintiffs/(mother) Annette Talbert and (daughter) Davia Cochrane suing defendants/ (mother) Pathrine Hewitt and (son) Nicardo Blake  for son’s vicious assault on plaintiff's daughter for medical bills.  Nicardo has only been in U.S. schools for two full years, and he's been in several schools in that time.    

Nicardo says one of his friends, Xavier, posted Davia's yearbook photo online, saying she looked like a bullfrog.  Nicardo, the Terrible says Davia said mean things about his mother. 

Then, outside the school Nicardo slammed her face into the metal railing, slapped, and was beating and kicking her, all captured on video.      Defendant teen shows no remorse at brutally assaulting a female classmate.    The video is very graphic, and shows the defendant beating the stuffing out of the teen plaintiff, including throwing her to the ground, slapping and kicking her.   

The video is horrifying.  My opinion, and I think JJ's opinion is Nicardo should have been charged as an adult, and sent to prison, or deported back to Jamaica. 

Defendant’s mother show absolutely no concern either, and blames the attack on plaintiff's mother.  Despicable mother blames everything on the U.S., and his friends in the U.S.   Defendant mother claims plaintiff mother told her she refused to come to the school or hospital to get her daughter.  Defendant's despicable mother says plaintiff daughter asked for it.  Texts from defendant mother to plaintiff mother are very conciliatory. 

Westchester County did not prosecute because he was 14.  JJ says business as usual for that county, in spite of the video evidence, and witness statements.   Police report, and photos of injuries are submitted.   

Nicardo's defense is that if he had kicked Davia in the eye it wouldn't look only swollen.  

(Nicardo was a track and field athlete, another explanation for why nothing was done about him.)

$5,000 to plaintiffs.   (Defendants get zero because the plaintiff received every penny)

 

Kung Fu Kickin' Landlord?! – Plaintiff /tenant Maximilian Evans suing defendant/ landlady Jing Zhangfor assault, and return of rent.   Defendant/landlady admits she kicked tenant in the stomach, after she broke down his door.     

Defendant certainly is amused by admitting she assaulted the man.   Plaintiff claims a violent physical assault, and wants rent back.     The confrontation with the defendant was because she was moving multiple other roommates into the apartment, and everything went downhill from there.   

 The two current tenants (including deadbeat plaintiff), are being evicted by the apartment complex.    That apartment sounds like an interesting place to live, full of drama and assaults, and packed with people.   

Nothing for defendant, plaintiff gets $500 for the assault.  

 

5 p.m. episodes-     

Your Deceased Mother Would Be Ashamed of You! -Plaintiff Barbara Ham-Brown suing the surviving family of deceased friend, defendant Joseph Archambault for refund of trip paid for and placed for plaintiff by his late mother.

Defendant son refuses to give plaintiff her part of a trip that plaintiff, and his late mother were supposed to take together, and plaintiff had pre-paid.  Deceased mother did all of the planning, and reservations, and took payments.   JJ really yells at the defendant about not paying the money owed.      

Plaintiff claims she paid woman $4k.  Defendant claims payments weren't clear, and plaintiff won't explain (apparently there was a past history of loans, and payments from deceased mother to plaintiff over the years).   

Defendant claims that there were five different amounts plaintiff wanted over the months.   Plaintiff claims she paid $4k, but only told her daughter $1200.  There were also some refunds too.  Not everything was refunded.   Defendant and his brother, and another sibling refused to pay the plaintiff what was owed.    Defendant says plaintiff approached him the day after his mother died, at the funeral home, very inappropriate.  

Plaintiff says she told her daughter the $1,200 amount, because she didn't want her daughter to hear how much she was actually out on the trip. 

Plaintiff gets $4,000.    

 

Clueless Tenant-Plaintiff James Huard suing former landlord Donald Glascock for moving costs, illegal eviction, and the usual.    Landlord counter suing for damages to the house.   

Landlord sent letter saying that he was not renewing the lease at the end of the year lease period.    Plaintiff maintains that landlord has to renew his lease as long as plaintiff wants to live there.    Landlord says tenant was a total nightmare, and I see what he means. 

Plaintiff's case dismissed.   Landlord returned security deposit, and check was cashed, but he maintains he found more damage, too late, so case dismissed.

4 p.m. episodes-   

Sleep Number Mattress Thief-Plaintiff (SSMO? Sainted Single Mother of Who Knows How Many kids) Jessica Hodges suing defendant/father of one of her kids Christopher Linares over a sleep number mattress.   

SSMO lost custody to defendant, because there is an ongoing CPS investigation against plaintiff.    Custody is pending because of the investigation into plaintiff.  Plaintiff says she started the investigation herself.  JJ is not a fan of plaintiff, or her current fiance.   SSMO also has a newborn with new boyfriend.    Defendant has the mattress, and he's paid all of the mattress payments. 

 $1028 to plaintiff for the mattress.   

Caregiver Rip-Off-Plaintiff care giver Jennifer Cotton suing defendant care company owner Charlotte Streetfor unpaid wages.   

Defendant is paid by private clients, not by government sources.   Defendant makes $24 an hour, and pays others $8 or less to do the actual care giving.  Defendant needed a substitute because of a family emergency, and hired plaintiff to substitute for her.  

When there is an overnight scheduled, there's a flat fee instead of hourly.  24 hours rate defendant paid $170 to the plaintiff.  

$1,000 to plaintiff.   

Dueling Couples-Plaintiffs Savannah Diaz and  Loren Meador suing defendants Toni Jackson and Brady Bedell for unpaid rent, etc.    The two couples shared an apartment, and the split was as rotten as it usually is.    Defendants are counter claiming for hotel bills because they claim plaintiffs illegally evicted them. 

Defendants owe $119 to plaintiffs, and that's all the plaintiffs get.    Defendant claim dismissed.   Then, they start again, on utilities, which defendants owe plaintiffs. 

$119 to plaintiffs.  Everything else dismissed.  

 

Gotcha Video-Plaintiff  Bridget Walton is suing motorist/ defendant William Hayes for hitting her parked car at a gas station, and fleeing the scene.   There is video of defendant hitting the car, and he still denies he did the hit and run.

JJ asks the defendant what he was on the night of the accident.  Defendant says his eyesight is 20/60.   Then, JJ finds out defendant didn't have insurance at the time of the accident. 

$1168 for plaintiff.     

Factory Worker Steals Judge's Heart-Plaintiff Demetrius King suing defendant/ brother DeAngelo King for totaling his car, when he drove it without permission.   Plaintiff came to mother's house where brother lives, and his brother took the car. Brother/defendant had a suspended license, and was arrested at the accident scene. 

Plaintiff claims his tie rod was broken, and that's why he wasn't driving his own car.  Defendant claims he swerved to avoid Raccoon in the road, and that's how he wrecked the car.  Car was not insured, since it was not driveable.  Defendant witness says defendant picked the keys up off of the table, witness is the factory worker JJ loves, because he works..  

Case dismissed, because no one on Earth believes the plaintiff didn't let defendant drive the car.      

The Last Straw-Plaintiff Anson Baker suing defendant/former roommate Shaquinn Grigsby for illegal lockout/eviction.   Only defendant was on the lease (plaintiff owed money to previous landlord).   Defendant had the locks changed. 

Plaintiff gets $560 in returned rent for the illegal lockout. 

5 p.m. episodes-

Repossession Roulette! - Plaintiff car buyer Robert Silas suing defendant/seller Adrian Hite for repair costs, payments he made on car, and damages.  A car travels between buyer and seller multiple times, after it is reportedly repossessed before one final payment can be made. 

Car was $950, minus $550 down, and $200 for plaintiff's junked car.   Plaintiff called the defendant to arrange to drop off the last payment ($200) in the night drop box (it's a dealership of some kind), plaintiff didn't do the drop box.    Plaintiff didn't pay the $200, and car was repossessed by defendant,   Even though the plaintiff picked up the car next to the car dealer, he claims he didn't know where to take the money.   Plaintiff's phone does show longer calls. 

Defendant also wants $5300+ for repossessing car, impound fees, and towing.    Car title still with defendant.   Impound fees were $255, plus $200 for car payment.    Plaintiff had the car for two months, and used it for a delivery service.   

Nothing for either side, and defendant keeps the car.

28 February (My cable was cut at 5:00, so I'll post this when I can. Back for now.)

4 p.m. episodes- 

Man Bites Dog! -Plaintiff Travis Lights suing defendant Kamaria King because he broke his tooth biting the defendant's pit bull to stop it from killing his pet, a Labrador/Pit mix.  Defendant had two Pit Bulls at the time, but only has one now.  He bit the dog on the nose. 

Plaintiff and defendant share a common back yard, and because plaintiff's lab pit mix, and defendant's two pits, are aggressive, they agreed to never turn the dogs out at the same time.  Defendant let her two dogs out, when plaintiff's dog was out, and a fight ensued.   Plaintiff bit the defendant's dog on the nose,  to get it off of his dog, and he lost a tooth (he will need a bone graft, and implant).   

Defendant is counter claiming for harassment from plaintiff (bull pucky), such as telling her to leash her dog when he saw she let it out in the common yard without a leash.   Plaintiff sent pictures of his dog's injuries to defendant, and that's not harassment.   Defendant claim dismissed. 

Plaintiff gets $5,000 for tooth repairs.  

Drunken Leg Drop! -Plaintiff Angela Jaboor suing defendant Christopher Brady for breaking her son's bed, when he was drunk.  The two men were underage, and the plaintiff's sister bought the liquor.   Everyone was drunk, and defendant was kicked out by plaintiff mother.      JJ is right, if anything had happened to someone who left drunk, then homeowner/plaintiff and sister would have been sued.    

Plaintiff wants $380 for the bed (defendant paid $20 for it), liquor buying for minors sister of plaintiff will pay $190, and defendant pays $190.   

18 Cop Calls in a Month  -Plaintiff./ former tenant Gena Hollister was renting two rooms at house from former landlord/defendant Jerome Hollingsworth suing defendant for moving costs, harassment, and all kinds of stuff.   

This was the first time defendant rented rooms in his home, and hasn't since the plaintiff moved out.  

Plaintiff was evicted by defendant, her second eviction in one year.  The police were called 18 times in one month on the plaintiff.    Plaintiff wants $2500 for moving costs, storage, etc.    Everyone on plaintiff's side looks stoned.   

Defendant is counter suing for lost wages, and property damages.  He says CPS came to his home, from an anonymous source, and that threatened the safety of his family.  However, since plaintiff wouldn't talk to CPS that put her and her daughter (who lived in the other bedroom) on the radar with CPS.   He says she brought all kinds of sketchy people into his house. 

No one gets any money. 

 

Car Fight-Plaintiff  Renee Clark suing defendant Lakeisha Battle over fight with their cars, fight was also over an incarcerated person, Jamal, who was involved with both women.    JJ keeps reminding plaintiff to get her bangs out of her face.   Defendant was going to pick money up from boyfriend (before his recent incarceration), and he was sitting in the plaintiff's car.   (Defendant has three kids, two with the incarcerated boyfriend). 

Boyfriend is in the slammer on federal charges, and defendant doesn't know what for, but not his first prison sentence.   Plaintiff claimed to have started yelling, and defendant claims plaintiff ran by her car, then claims plaintiff whacked her car window with her cell phone.   Defendant claims plaintiff had false car insurance claims before.  

No police report or photos are available to show damage to defendant's car, but plaintiff has photos, and a police report for her car damages. 

$3k to plaintiff. (another estimate is $7k for the same car, but Blue Book is only $3,000).      

Child Support Goes to College-Plaintiff Reginald Johnson suing ex-girlfriend/ defendant Kimberly Porter for overpaid child support payments for daughter's college.   He had to continue child support from 18 to 21 if Akila  was in college full time.   

Daughter Akila dropped out for a semester, and went back one class at a time, so as JJ puts it, that's not college, but playing.  Plaintiff says daughter also had failing grades during her college career.   

$2631 back to plaintiff.     

 

Dangerous Pumpkin Prank-Plaintiff/driver Gacianne Israel  suing defendant/(mother) Jennifer Naraine and (son) John Naraine for putting a bunch of large pumpkins in the road, and damaged plaintiff's car badly.   

Plaintiff says the other two delinquents, Cale and Aubrey,  reimbursed her  for damage, but defendant delinquent has a bunch of ridiculous excuses for how he's innocent.    The two others got caught chunking pumpkins in front of cars later that night.   

Police report doesn't say Eddie Haskell Jr. was involved (defendant teen reminds me of Eddie Haskell, from Leave It To Beaver who never did anything wrong according to him).   

Plaintiff has no witness that defendant teen was involved, or the police report. 

Plaintiff case dismissed.

Woman Whacks Husband's Ex in Head with a Gun?! ; My Arm Was Almost Torn Off!

 

Grieving Sisters Try to Keep It Friendly-Plaintiff and defendant are half-sisters, and after the death of their mother are fighting over the car mother left.  Plaintiff took the 1999 car her sister was driving, and was supposed to pay insurance, and didn't register the car.  Defendant took the mother's car.   Defendant took car back when plaintiffs were pulled over by the police, and caught a possession charge.   

Two sisters, and plaintiff son were living together, and then police were called when they had a huge fight.   After a cruise, defendant and her witness came back to see both vehicles wrecked, and that's the possession charge too.   Escort was sold by defendant, and the Impala (mother's car).   

$1,000 to plaintiff.    

Vanishing Carpenter-Plaintiff suing defendant/carpenter for return of fee to fix leaking back door.   Carpenter blames leak on lack of canopy, and custom lock set that owner wanted.  (Without a storm door or some other shield the door won't stop leaking.  Plus, doors need be sealed around the outside trim, or it will leak). 

Plaintiff says carpenter never came back, and carpenter swears he came back twice with helpers.    Door was $900, but carpenter says it was defective.   Defendant received $2400 total, including fixing flooring from water damage to floor before door was replaced.   

Plaintiff gets $2000 to replace door.
