All Episodes Talk: All Rise

And never believe anyone who says they'll repay the loan with their tax refund.

 

If any of you watch Mathis, he actually says "Oh lawd!" and laughs when he hears tax refund come up.

Good Antiguan Ganga Weed case was on last night's repeat. Brief summary, make up artist suing doctor-film maker for the cost of items taken from her make-up kit. Doctor's defense was the plaintiff was smoking a lot of that good Antiguan ganga weed, which was too strong for her, thus making up the allegations. I've always wondered if his films (one was in post-production and the Antiguan film was film was completed) ever ended up being shown in a place other than his house.

Dear Sweaty, Gape-mouthed Brother:

I have an idea how you could not sweat so much. It's called diet and exercise. Problem solved.

I feared Plaintiff Brother was going to keel over and die during testimony. Poor guy. Gets hauled into court with an oxygen hook up and barely even had to say a word.

And I'm pretty sure that wills can't contain instructions like, "If X dies, then the money goes to Y."

Well, actually they can and do--but probably not the way fat boy hoped.  To his credit, the executor brother seemed to understand what a turd fat boy was.

 

The instructions in wills and trusts usually contain a contingency for what should happen when the named beneficiary dies before the person who made out the will, e.g., sister dies before mother.  You have contingencies so mom doesn't have to go making out a new will every time something happens.

 

That did not happen here, and I'm sure that's not what the trust said.  Fat boy mentioned that the trust specified that if sister died, her share went to her children.  It probably said her children would inherit if she died before mother.  They can't cut out her estate now.  The share must go to sister's estate, and, if she had no will, most or all will go to the poor husband with the oxygen tank.  More full employment for lawyers!  Now someone must go to court and become an administrator for the estate of sister!

I'm waiting for the day when JJ asks for the Blue Book value, and Byrd pulls out a tablet from under his crosswords and looks it up on KBB instead. :)

 

 

And on the day that happens, JJ's head will promptly explode!

[BellaLugosi]

It's pretty silly. Why can't they at least print out the pages for those vehicles that morning before the taping? They don't keep it a secret that JJ knows what the case is about beforehand. They should be using the most recent information. 

[Taeolas]

It's probably for the image. Part of her image (for better or worse) is to effectively be a technology Luddite; so as far as she's concerned, if it isn't on paper or (at most) on DVD, it's too advanced for her to consider. 

 

JMM on People's Court on the other hand is much more technologically adept, and will look at things like Google Maps of the scene and taking Skype calls and so forth. 

 

Maybe they figure the low-tech approach on JJ makes her seem 'quaint' and 'grandmotherly' or something? I dunno. 

[ItsHelloPattiagain]

JJ looks like she's cleaning out all the annoying quick cases before her hiatus. Did anybody see the teensy black woman with the daughter who was supposed to be her "power of attorney" after Mama bought a car for her boyfriend?  The daughter's hands were shaking uncontrollably after JJ made her sit down and I thought her head was going to pop off. She had way too much Drama Queen going on and Teensy Mama had a wig that threatened to engulf her head during the case. (probably bought it from ET Lady's Wig Store) Did Teensy Mama seem to be a little bit "off" during the case? And at the end she looked really confused about where to go. 

[FairyDusted]

Cougar Deadbeat Octomom case was pretty good.  What was this amazon?  Eight kids, at least one drug addicted, a whole other bunch living with their dad, prowling for 20 yr olds, getting impregnated with them, cheating on them, ending up living with their grans and homeless shelter, then marrying some other dude she was having an affair with, dumping the latest child with his young father... and trying to dodge back child support payments while saving for a $9000 tummy tuck!  She owed back child support, her salary was already garnished, and she's putting herself in the hole for 9G?

 

Pfffffffffft

I know!!!! I was blown away at her sheer stupidity.

Hey Fuckerbitches! I was fairyinterested at TWOP and just started posting. Glad to see old faces and new! I get JJ 4x a day with a chance of one fresh episode. Sometimes I watch the evening old once twice because its's funny or more than likely a brilliant poster points out something I just must see for myself.

 

Quick stats: SAHW 20plus years in. 

[DoctorK]

Hello Patti! Yep, I think teensy Mom has challenges. That may be why her daughter is so domineering about her. It can be difficult to find the line between not providing needed assistance and totally dominating a person who just needs some help.

[AngelaHunter]

And of course was a health care provider, yet another incentive to stay healthy.

 

I see I'm not the only one to notice that almost without exception, all litigants involved in any way with health care are amoral, uneducated, dishonest and dumb.

 

Yep, I think teensy Mom has challenges.

 

You refer to "LaTasha's" mom? I just keep thinking that instead of buying old hoopties and wigs, someone should have thought about getting mom some teeth.

[momrn]

I know! I think there were 4 cases in half an hour, in at least half the defendant did not utter a word and JJ dismissed the case Edited June 6, 2014 by momrn

[FairyDusted]

Do you think the kids drew a tree on the wall because Dad wouldn't get them one? 

HAHAHAHA!!! I would not doubt it!

 

Sorry about the bump ups in old posts but I'm trying to catch up cuz damn, I don't want to miss a thing!

 

Oh and did we hear physicality uttered recently? I guess? it's a word. Apollo from TRHofATL uses that one frequently too!   

[AngelaHunter]

Something that always makes me laugh is when JJ dismisses a case and litigants are left yelling,  "What about my cell phone/pain and suffering/30 year old plaid sofa??" as the announcer is saying, "And now the next case."

[Milz]

Maybe it's just me, but the litigants in the West Virginia Miners ATV Case looked like they were nephew and uncle, not ex-nephew and uncle-in laws.

[zillabreeze]

 

"I even had to get a JOB to pay those bills!"

LOL!  Best line of the case!  It is really sad when all of your gumbmint freebies won't cover your Rent a Dick budget!

Don't know why, but I figure if he had stayed just a while longer, she would have scored another baby daddy.

 

Personally, I like it that JJ & MM are more often than not sending stupid women on their way without a dime.  Maybe they'll wake up when the tears & single mother schticks don't pay off anymore.

On the other hand, I hate like hell that their grifting scamming skanky BFs get away with it. 

[Ouisch]

I didn't get the Antiguan weed case either, had Miss Purple Lipstick with her $7,000 student loan "refund" (that she used to buy her cousin a car) instead. Out of curiosity I Googled this student loan refund of which we hear so often on JJ. It absolutely floors me to see how many students - of all ages - are whining on various message boards that they didn't know they'd have to pay back all that money, no one explained it to them at the time that there would be interest, and they didn't read the fine print when they signed and therefore it's not their fault! It's predatory lending! I mean, I'm no lawyer and math was never my best subject, but even I know that no one (other than a rich relative) just gives you money, and that any type of loan accrues interest and eventually you'll be expected to pay all of that back.

 

The snowmobile defendant was a hoot - he had no defense other than "I haven't driven a snowmobile in 20 years, and this one was more powerful than the last one I rode." Judging from the wreckage (ant the tree), he was lucky to be up and walking after that accident.

[Eliza422]

Ouisch, so what exactly are these "refunds"? Are they really loans that they mistook for refunds?

[EtheltoTillie]

I think the reason they call them refunds is that the school receives the money and maybe applies some of it for tuition and then "refunds" the remainder to the student.  Sure, students can borrow money for living expenses while they're in school, but these people are not understanding what they're getting into.  It is predatory lending.

The daughter in the way too young for her baby blue flouncy skirt with bolero jacket- if you love your Mom and "take care of her"; for the love of God buy that woman some teef! Forget the car! Did it say where these people were from?

[Milz]

Good Antiguan Weed is on youtube. The first time I saw that I thought it was faked. Watching it again, I still think it's faked.

They were from Los Angeles.

 

Did I hear the daughter correctly, did she say she had had her mother's power of attorney since she was 12?

I had to wonder about that woman named "Aaron" who can't work because she's on disability, but still apparently has enough money to get large swaths of her body covered in tattoos.

[Jamoche]

Oh, man, the "I don't know" shrug when JJ asked the car seller why he took the wannabe buyer's deposit - I wish we had her reaction shot because that was a case-losing moment if I've ever seen one.

[AngelaHunter]

Nicholas - little sadass twerp with 5 kids, makes tax free money under the table while collecting welfare and food stamps, and that "fiancee"(who really knows how to pick 'em) has the unmitgated gall to sue for money that other people earned. But maybe he's just a great citizen and wanted to refund the taxpayers? As JJ told him, "Get a job!" Frickin' loser...mutter grumble...

 

Loved the low-rent, scamming blue-haired Mama Cass who insisted the buyer of her car "Knew full-headedly", drawing a "WTF??" look from JJ.

I was wondering the same thing. Doesn't she have a bunch of kids too? I get confused with all these brokeass breeders we see. Was she preggo, or just droopy?  I wonder how much it cost to get tatted from head to toe. Her insolent, fugly, boyfriend/husband/whatever - I think that was the fastest anyone got their dumbass thrown out. Touched my heart to hear how she just loves him though.

 

BUT, after after watching this show I just feel so great about my life!

She said something like that at the beginning but I didn't catch it, but later when JJ sat her down, JJ said something about she had no standing in the case, she didn't have any power of attorney, and a couple of other things. Sounded to me like daughter sees herself as mom's caretaker and heard "power of attorney" somewhere and decided that was what she had.

I disagree in that I believe people who are considered adults and smart enough to attend college have to take some responsibility for the choices they make.I took out loans for college, and yes, I took the "refunds" but frankly I always knew I would have to pay the money back. I graduated in 1995 during a recession and I was student loan free by 2003 (and that included a grad degree) and for literally 25 years now I have heard constant incessant warnings to students about how loan debt will get you. I'm sorry but any 19 year old who attends college should have SOME idea what the word "loan" means and should have some idea, simply from watching tv, that student loans can ruin you.

[Lonesome Rhodes]

C'mon y'all.  

 

Whin da gubmint borrow me cash money, it's mine.   Y I gotsta giv any bak

[Mindymoo]

Did anyone think the bounce house case seemed like a scam? The plaintiffs knew that they were going to leave the gate open, and who else knows how to deflate one of those things and store them better than the business owners themselves? I think it's likely they stole it themselves, and scammed the defendants for the cost of the "stolen" item.

[ArcticWolfRS]

 

Sure, students can borrow money for living expenses while they're in school, but these people are not understanding what they're getting into.  It is predatory lending.

 

I completely disagree. It's not predatory. Predatory lending is payday loans with quadruple digit interest. Predatory lending is changing up the agreement without the borrower realizing. Student loans are so far from predatory it's ridiculous. It's reasonable interest (6.8% when I got my first one, and it's less now), every single disbursement they send you a statement that shows how much you've borrowed, the interest rate, your expected payments, and how much you'll have paid back if you make minimum payments. For staffords (the goverment loans) they'll even work out payment plans with you if you truly can't afford the minimums (as opposed to wasting your paycheck on Rent-a-Rims and Rent-A-Dick.) I had to sign 3! different forms that explained to me that YES I was obligated to repay the loans and how much all of it would cost me - before I ever even got approved to take them out in the first place. A financial "counseling" session is mandatory to accept Staffords - online, but it's still there. At every single point, someone can say "I don't want this much anymore." I know the big trend now is to call people "children" and "little boy/girl" until they are practically 30, but a 18 year old is an adult, in a real world, that has to make adult decisions. If they can't understand after ALL of that, that they have to repay the loan, then quite frankly the college should revoke their degree and/or admission because there is no way they got it/in honestly. They would be way too dumb.

 

So, I can't cry a river over these idiots on JJ that blow the money (which is legally to be used ONLY on school and school related expenses - and no, buying a car for some random person is not school related), and don't want to pay it back because ..... of whatever reason. Entitlement mostly. I promise you they understood when they were taking them out the loans would have to be repaid. They just don't want to, so they fall back on manipulation and crying "they didn't know."

 

(As an aside, I DO think that TUITION rates are predatory now, but that's a whole other discussion. I also don't think anyone should be able to get student loans for places like ITT Tech or Art Institute. Just my opinion.)

[AngelaHunter]

Did anyone think the bounce house case seemed like a scam?

 

It seemed that way to me, but I felt the defendants were the scammers who thought they could sell the bounce house and get away with it by saying they have no idea what happened to it. Neither of them bothered to read any of the contract, since they apparently thought it was a receipt, and didn't know they'd have to pay for the item.

[Patssy Stoned]

Neither of them bothered to read any of the contract,

 

I honestly thought the guy didn't read the contract because he couldn't read.

[designing1]

The woman acting as caretaker of her mother since she was 12 acknowledged at the beginning that she didn't have power of attorney, hence the quick sit-down from JJ.

 

Broke yet still heavily tatted woman probably got those tats from her rage-filled boyfriend or another friend, as the plaintiff said spilled tat ink was part of the damage done to her premises. Unless there's some sort of "tats at home" service that she somehow found money for.

[me5671]

I think JJ made the right call on the bounce house.  It doesn't make sense to me that the plaintiffs would steal their own bounce house and then sue the defendants for the replacement costs.  After all, the defendants were paying customers who had previously used the plaintiffs services in the past.  I'm sure the plaintiffs would rather have a loyal regularly paying customer over the long-term than losing a customer over a lost/stolen bounce house, which is what ended up happening.

[Angeltoes]

At least once a week my DVR throws a tantrum and refuses to tape JJ.  I wonder what would happen if I sued the cable company in her court.  Bet she'd award me $5000 without the cable company getting to say a word.

[BellaLugosi]

Depends, Angeltoes. Are you on disability or welfare. Because if JJ or Byrd's money paid for that cable, you aren't ah-getting a penny! Also you may have to present your entire job history so be prepared for that.

[Lonesome Rhodes]

The problem is, for damages, she'd probably make Byrd whip out the Blue Book for DVR's and tell her the amount for least-good condition.

[BellaLugosi]

JJ really ripped into those two assholes today. The aunt was still defending her. Of course she'd say she doesn't need her aunt anymore, she's used her & knows she won't get any money. 

 

Muh children! I was laughing when JJ was mocking her. I'd be willing to bet she quit her job so she could get welfare and they don't know daddy lives there. That eyeliner!! She had it caked in the inside corner of her eyes, I didn't know people did that past the 80's, 

 

Did that second couple say they stay together even though they fight, because they have a child together, who they gave up for adoption. Huh??

[Toaster Strudel]

I'm going to translate this one for you: "we have an unbreakable bond of drinking together that a child would have interfered with, so we gave away the child and continue to imbibe and argue - for this we stay together."

 

Kiss My Ass Case: That well-deserved smackdown was a thing of beauty.  JJ moved me to tears today.  Shameless scammers, "she didn't pat anythang in writang!" like her aunt had a penny to spare.  OF COURSE the scammer's name is Brandi, and OF COURSE she'd have a child she can't afford with double-digit IQ David Smith, kiss-my-ass performance artist, whose idea of wit is mooning an old lady and throwing rocks at her car.

 

The eyeliner was applied with a 2" paintbrush for that classic comic strip, Doonesbury look.  I thought it made her look appropriately evil, it's a bit like a warning to strangers to stay away.

 

Mark my words, the aunt will lend them money again, and they won't pay that back, either.  I have a hunch she likes to martyr herself.

Sure, students can borrow money for living expenses while they're in school, but these people are not understanding what they're getting into.  It is predatory lending.

Because we live in this society where everybody "feels" they "deserve" something for nothing? No WAY. I had two children who put themselves through college - kid #1 had scholarships and worked her butt off teaching preschool kids on the side for living expenses - kid #2 borrowed money from her sister to get started (which she paid back), then worked full time while going to school until she got smart and climbed aboard the scholarship train and started applying for everything she could (hey, those $500 and $250 awards from obscure places really add up). They both have degrees (and jobs) and no student debt. Of course they both worked and didn't feel the need to move into a crappy apartment with their friends so they could party or buy the latest cell phone or party like rockstars. And of course I rode them like ponies for the last few years of high school and into the beginning of college to do so. It can be done but it takes discipline which probably 99.8% of Judge Judy defendants don't have. 

[Rick Kitchen]

There was a rerun episode today where a woman was suing her ex-boyfriend for money she had loaned him.  She had the guy's ex-wife as her witness.  The guy had been in jail and he called his ex-wife for bail money and she turned him down, and then he told her to put up her house and she told him, "Are you out of your bleeping mind?"  JJ was very happy over those answers.  JJ wound up kicking the guy out for having a rotten attitude.

[Patrizio]

That guy was the scum of the earth but the woman suing him had a major screw loose. Who are these women who have such low self esteem to get caught up with these assholes? It boggles my mind. Lending money to guys they barely know or getting bitter when the guy dumps them after he's bled them dry? Is the sex that good? Really? Also, the couple who adopted out their child? Lowlifes like that don't seem the types to do something in the best interests of someone else, let alone a potential meal ticket like a child, without a payoff.

[califred]

Four cases and a Byrd smack down in one episode today. I'm getting the bail episode tomorrow.

Byrd smack down case:  Plaintiff with the big heart tattoo on her chest, had a piece of black (electrical?) tape covering up part of it. Makes me wonder what it says.
