St Paul my cousin came to pick you up yes how long did you stay there I was there for like 3 days from when to when 

Saturday and I I don't know what date it was cuz December 10th never happened at 

Walmart and the 10th would have been M I just asked you what day you were visiting with your cousin I didn't ask 

you December 10th did in fact happen it was a day yeah I went over there before December 10th and it was that weekend so 

it was a Saturday what I'm saying is December 10th I don't know the date but it was days before that who went with 

you my sister and my daughter she was suspended that day so that's also why she was she was suspended how old is 

your daughter no my sister oh your sister together cuz it was a weekday and she was suspended from school so we were

Miss crumb can you tell me whether this was a trip that you had planned to make to Walmart yes indeed it was I was going 

to go to Walmart to go shopping for Christmas shopping for my kids yes and 

as I was on my way there I saw Ivan car following me just a second you have the 

phone number yes ma'am and the name of your supervisor J just hand it to me 

thank you so you were on your way to Walmart 

and you passed the defendant's car yes go ahead that's when I seen her make a 

really quick um right turn behind me so I kept going and at the time I'm on the phone with my mom too saying like oh I 

see your sister and she's following me and she's like just keep going to where you're going and I drove to Walmart 

which was probably about a couple blocks from there and um once I got there I noticed they were still behind me so 

then I hurry up and park over there look at me so I hurry up and parked and once I parked they parked only about I say a 

few cars from me who was in the car it was Yvonne jela and Jalisa go ahead so 

anyhow I parked and they were still behind me and my mom is on the phone so I'm like okay they still here why are 

they here so she said just go into the Walmart and before I get out of my car I can hear them yelling oh I'm gonna f 

this be up if she don't get out the car we'll break the windows and get her out 

and um if she just act funnier say something F we're going to beat her up so miss crumb there is no question in 

your mind that the defendants were at the Walmart parking lot on December 10th 

correct that she was not at work at December 10th at 9:30 in the morning 

correct and these two were not in I don't know visiting a cousin for a 

couple of days they were with mother correct and I don't really have to get into what this family dispute was all 

about I don't want to know suffices to say I assume that at one time you were a 

close family and because of something you're not a close family anymore right and nobody knows how to just not be a 

close family without being destructive exactly or I don't care that's not my 

problem I don't want to put this family back together I don't care if you're not back together all I care about is your 

key car me too exactly did you go into the Walmart I did I actually ran and uh 

afraid of being assaulted by them three so I ran into Walmart and when you came out is when you noticed your car was key 

I noticed the damages on my car and you did not see any of them key your car no but I'm pretty sure they did it because 

they were say it's very easy to determine can I see pictures of your car please 

would you show me where it was keyed are you talking about this these Marks here I don't know it's very hard when you do 

these blowup pictures to see what you're talking 

about circle with a damage yes please did you take those pictures with your phone I did I'd like to see it in your 

phone rather than blown up so that I can't see a thing 

and you can just move your finger towards the left and it to keep 

going got it now I got it yeah much easier to see thank you mhm okay so far 

there is no proof other than your statement that they were in fact there you didn't see them do it but certainly 

she said she was at work they were in some other place so if they were lying to me about her being at work on that 

day that's easy right mhm yvon right if you were lying to me about not being at 

work I have no reason to lie man great and this supervisor would know whether or not you were at work on December 10th 

at 9:30 in the morning yes correct

versus row step forward 20-year-old Chan Lewis is suing former friend 20-year-old 

Briana Ro for keying her car Chan claims Briana admitted to the crime on Facebook 

Miss Lewis it is your claim that the defendant keyed your car caused damage in the amount of about $2500 Miss Rose 

says she didn't do it how do you know each other I know Briana because we were friends in high school we hang out with 

the same people and went to the same party so we all right so that's how you know each other correct when was your 

car vandalized um in the summer around July 201 do you mean around July July 

2010 I don't know the exact date did you report it to the police no I did not do 

you remember where your car was yes I do where was your car it was parked at a mutual Friend's parking spot in 

apartment where in Citrus Heights California what's the address I do not 

know the name of the apartment I didn't ask you the name what's the address I do not know the address what 

do you know I know that my car was parked in a covered parking spot that was allowed by the owner of the 

apartment well you can't tell me it was allowed by the owner of the apartment cuz that's hearsay okay well my car was 

parked in a covered parking spot and and it was keyed and and I have proof that 

Bano did it I'd like to see your proof well we were at a um a mutual friend listen to me yes I want to see you proof 

okay I have documents of the pictures of my car to me I want to see the proof okay here's the proof of my car I don't 

have to see the keys car you don't even know when it happened I want to see proof that the defendant K okay well she 

admitted on Facebook to doing it let me see it this is the conversation right here and it's highlighted right 

there bird you have younger children would it be possible for you to 

interpret this gibberish that is highlighted for me I give it a 

[Applause] shot okay laugh out loud I can care less 

for you I key your car because my best friend didn't like you but I'm too grown 

to go bad on you on Facebook I'll leave being ignorant to you I guess anyway 

have a nice day it's almost like reading Sans script 

yes I I don't dig text speak but I know it could you show that to the defender 

yes take a look at that is that your thesis oh I have one of these too well 

I'm asking you is that yours mhm did I write it yeah yeah so why did you tell 

her you keep her car because she had made a post that said up Granddad is getting my car detailed that said what 

she was getting her car detailed and fixed after after them raggedy bees keed 

and I knew she was directing towards us because she accused us of keing her car the Raggedy bees were the two of you 

yeah well she accused her I just want to know the Raggedy people that you was talking about were the two of you you 

knew that yourself without having been named is that what you're saying mhm because she had already accused us doing 

it so even though you weren't named you decided to tell her that she was right 

that you did in fact key her car car and if officer bird read it right you told 

her why you keyed her car I wrote it to make her mad well why would you think if 

she already knew that you and your raggedy friend were the ones that keed her car why did you think it would make 

her mad if you admitted it no she thought Elena had keed her car no no no 

she talked about two raggedy people she didn't say how many no she just she said 

after them yes well and Raggedy and she uses the word with an S mhm plural that 

would be two two but it was three of us at the house three of you well how many 

of you keed the car none of us none of well then why would you admit to keying her car because she accused us of it 

after her car got keyed she came in the house threw papers at Elena and told us we ke her car there's something wrong 

with you honestly there's something wrong with you I've been like can't get myself overly exercised about this case quite 

frankly Miss Lewis because you don't even remember what date it happened how many how many times has your car been keyed none well one well 

once can I ask you a question yes this is your Facebook page yes and this is 

you with this bathing suit yes if that is a bathing suit I just I just want to know yes that is me on up there is there 

any reason why you think that this is an appropriate picture just to send around 

the internet I did Mo modeling and that was a picture that I like and I feel that I wanted to post 

it I need to take deep breaths I need to take deep breaths it's 

only going to get worse your honor me and the defendant had been friends 

before this happened the defendant and I had been the and I were friends before 

this happened and the reason why I believe the motive that they had I don't care what their motive was she admitted 

it it's it's irrelevant to me what her motive was okay I assumed that you had some sort of a falling out is that 

right yes yes now I'll see the pictures of your car 

okay when did you take these pictures of your car I took them when it happened and then I took some more before I came 

and since you don't know exactly when this happened sometime last summer I assume you've been driving around with 

your car exactly the way it is is yes do you have an estimate to have it fixed yes I do I'd like to 

see no they're not repairing any dents she didn't Dent the car he she ke it 

there's dent marks scratch marks on very good that okay could you explain to me 

why you filed this lawsuit for 25 $500 and the estimate that you have was 15 

because I am suing for I believe that for the scratches and for punitive 

damages for punitive damages for what because every time that I have to drive around my car and have the word written 

on it that's embarrassing for me to have to ride around and be disrespected like that I have a newborn son and I don't 

want that portrayed for me I'm not how old are you I'm 20 years old what do you have a newborn son for I thought you 

went to school I do go to school who takes care if you newn my grandmother your grandmother yes great yeah spend 

$500 get your C painted judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $500 that's all is excuse 

Meep yes is case number 112 on the calendar in a matter of Fong versus Chong P have been sworn and judge you

tried to get out of the car she wouldn't let you out of the car according to you you were so frightened of the way she 

was driving erratically that you pulled the emergency break on the car according to you is that right yes the police came

late at night at midnight and midnight and very cold and really really cold and you don't live with her no then why 

don't you go home um because no look at me why don't you go home 

because um I was angry and I heard she told the police I'm making trouble on her and I was angry I just wanted to go

told the police just don't know me something like that just like her just like friend are you telling me sir that 

you didn't put your hands on her oh I never put my hand on her no no he's lying real cases real people Judge 

Judy manessa Fong says ex-boyfriend Albert Chung injured her during a sexual 

assault manessa says Albert terrorized her over the course of 24 hours how long 

did you stay there that evening on the all night did she ask you to leave oh she never asked me to leave that's a lot 

of balone sir that's baloney you because even if you were only arguing with her verbally she would have asked you to 

leave she didn't ask me to leave she let me sleep in her her living rooms at the 

four she told me because I legally blind I'm visually impair I cannot drive and 

it was laid around like 2:00 and this she let me sleep in her leaving room and 

next morning she woke me up and then she and I left but we were argue for a long 

time right right why do you believe that Miss Fong would have made two police report reports if you had not threatened 

her uh because when when the argument by the time uh my language was very strong 

and insulting her and she was angry and I just want to make sure you understand 

um I didn't do anything physically I don't believe that sir I believe that you did something physically T I believe 

that you did I believe that you went there that night and you were very very angry right and when you are very very 

angry based upon something that you did earlier that evening you for whatever 

reason wanted her to stop the car and you pull the emergency break up you 

could see good enough to pull up the emergency break I don't need to see I can it just like you can feel her face 

you pulled up the emergency break which means Mr Chung that you have a temper and what she did later on that evening 

which was according to you felt sorry for you and let you sleep on the floor 

of her apartment that doesn't sound like the kind of woman who would not let you 

out of a car if you wanted to get out of the car so you got a temper you've got a 

temper and I believe that you punched the windshield on the car didn't break it but I believe that you punched it mhm 

I did sure cuz you have a temper and that was before you were standing outside for an hour and a half in the 

cold at 1:00 in the morning that was before after you were really mad because she 

was ignoring you in the ballroom right mhm good you better stay away from her 

because you see this judge you may get some very nice judge if you go near her 

again you may get somebody who will be very sympathetic with the fact that you tell them that you can't see you're 

legally blind you're a poor soul all right you can't put your hands on 

anybody never in anger and get away with it and I'm just very sorry that she 

didn't follow through but I tell you something else if you ever go near her again ever it is very possible that 

you're going to get unlucky and get somebody just like me do you understand 

and if you get somebody just like me you're going to go to jail and they don't care what your handicaps are do 

you understand yes keep your hands to yourself and stay far away from her 

judge for the plain for the amount of $5,000 as requested stay away from her thank you excuse you may step 

out I tery uh the defendant was threatening me if I uh arrest him and 

put him in jail he would kill me and my family that didn't do it and if I did it 

after the police did the full investigation I already been in the jail and now the next case all parties in the 

matter of Mcall versus willham step forward please 70 1-year-old bbon mcll 

is suing his former friend 32-year-old student Sandra wilham for unpaid loans on the cost of a car Sandra says Bin's 

lawsuit is an attempt to keep her in his life Mr mcco it is your claim in this 

complaint that you were romantically involved with the defendant and made a series of loans to her including a car 

yes ma'am then she broke it off and you want your money back yes your honor when and where did you meet Mr mcco 

I met Sandra at uh a local pub that we both frequented okay when sometime in 

March your honor and when did you make this first loan well the first thing that happened I had bought a computer 

and Sandra agreed to come over and download it for me then she had had an 

accident and she had picked up a DUI and her car was wrecked so I then called her 

and asked her if I could be of any help to her she said well my mother's got a car at 8 ate Crown Victoria her mother 

was asking $2,300 for the car I gave Sandra $2,300 we went in she gave us the 

title we then proceeded to go down and get it plated and titled did you expect 

Miss Wilhelm to pay you back the money yes I did your armor did you ever tell her that yes I did your armor sh quiet 

when did you tell her that I told her that before we bought the car I said what did you say I said if we buy a car 

I'll help you get a car but I said I want title to that car she said well how am I going to get plates and insurance 

and the rest of it why don't we just purchase a vehicle you'll have the first lean on on the vehicle so that I'm 

protected well the truth of the matter is you really are not terribly protected 

all you are if you have title to the cars you're exposed in case she has an accident in case she doesn't get 

insurance well she did that I know but that's a problem Miss Wilhelm first of 

all how old are you 32 how old are you sir 71 okay Miss Wilhelm this whatever 

kind of relationship you had with the plaintiff was of relatively short duration I read your answer very clearly 

and your answer says that he clearly wanted more from the relationship than you were prepared to give him absolutely 

absolutely can I see the title to the car please yes title certificate of title I'd like to see it please the copy 

of the title and I'd like to see the certificate of exhibit B and C showing 

the registration and the application I just want the title to the car he has the title this is a copy who has the 

original I have the original at home I just made a copy of it your honor well that wasn't very smart sir well I that 

wasn't very smart because I read the defendant's answer very clearly she says 

Bin's goal was to control me when I didn't respond to his advances he became increasingly hostile is that true that 

is correct not true event sh eventually I told him that he could have the car back because it's not worth the 

harassment that's what you wrote is that what you wrote yes good sign the title over to 

him sign it over now he has the title you're going 

to sign the copy we'll conform it show where to sign bird would you please getting good at that 

where he told me he didn't want the car your honor sign the title overt 

him signature seller impr print your 

name now give it to him please thank you bir perfect now let's get to the second 

part of your lawsuit is you made a series of loans to the defendant when did they start started after we had 

purchased the uh automobile she just needed money time after time and I just I felt like we were committed enough we' 

already committed that we would go to Texas once she got through her ordeal and that she would move with me take the 

kids she wanted out of Indiana so did I she's 40 years your Junior yes I know you're onor very foolish yes you're onor 

very foolish do you have a promisory note sir no you're her you gave her money for a 

lawyer yes how much money did you give her for a lawyer $500 that's not true you gave her money to pay her mortgage 

$500 did you ever get a note from her for any of those things no you're honor I I was too involved well you were too 

involved and that's what you get when you're too involved you don't get paid for that that's right that's stupidity 

no I said that myself to myself well if you said it to yourself unfortunately you got to listen to me say it to you 

again that's okay so this was a lesson that cost you 

perhaps a couple of thousand dollar Miss wihelm says that you never gave her any money I assume is that right that's 

correct never gave gave you any money no I don't know whether I believe you that he never gave you any money I sort 

of think he probably did in any event you knew each other for a total of maybe eight weeks and the eight weeks the 

plaintiff was out a substantial amount of money I can't get you back all the money that you were out sir because I 

really feel as if you didn't have a contract with her with regard to these cash loans that you made to her cash 

gifts that you made to her but clearly it was your intention to have have a 

hold on the car which was the largest amount of money that you turned over to the plaintiff by having your name placed 

as a lean holder on the car that is some evidence of a debt that is why you got 

your car back do you understand yes ma'am rest of your claim is dismissed that's all parties are excused you may 

close order all 

[Music] rise now this is case number 83 in a matter of Grande versus Matson P up in 

morning in judge you may be seated Miss Grande you and the defendant uh live together for a period of time MH and you 

have a child together right and is your claim that when you separated Mr Matson 

kept some property that belonged to you and your daughter right when did you 

commence living with Mr Matson we were apart my whole pregnancy 3 days before 

my daughter was born she was born on this the 12th I moved back in with him the 12th of what the 12th of February 

was the day my daughter was born 3 days prior that is when I moved in 12th of February yeah okay so you moved back in 

a week before mhm and how long did that last it lasted 2 months and what 

happened well he was driving me to work I get in the car I noticed on the the 

dashboard of his car my child's sock we us always keep it in there cuz we thought it was cute to just have a 

little you know baby sock on the dashboard this particular day I found marijuana on the sock and I got very 

very angry and I said is this the kind of father you want to be and he had told me over five times since my daughter was 

born that he was no longer going to use drugs but that was not the case Okay so the fight was over that and what 

happened he got all mad at me told me I don't help out around the house I don't do anything he ended up calling the 

police asking them to watch and escort me out of the house I had less than 20 

minutes to pack my things and basically everything I was trying to gather up I 

couldn't even do I was holding my baby crying and begging please don't don't do this I had less than 20 minutes I left 

okay and then what happened I moved to a friend's house and I came back like 

probably two and a half three weeks later to retrieve my belongings and I noticed where was the baby during that 

time and the baby was with me okay and you came back to get your property had you make made an 

arrangement with him to get your property yes he said come and get your things and I came and then I noticed 

everything was gone all of the stuff that I had laid out he didn't pack he 

told me he would pack my property and my daughter's what property um clothes baby 

bottles um whose clothes my clothes and my daughter's clothes all everything all 

my grooming products I had to leave with not even my toothbrush because I had less than 20 I left with the clothes on 

my back I would always take my toothbrush if I had 20 minutes so you must have taken something 

in 20 minutes you no I left with my child's diaper bag and clothed for her 

and a stroller I didn't even have a car so you're talking about personal effects on your daughter's clothes mhm and mine 

well what clothes of yours I mean this is not a very easy thing to do you can't speculate as to what clothes there are 

you say clothes what clothes he stole my sexy clothes probably cuz he doesn't want me to have them I had this gown 

that was the $800 gown I no longer have that he stole CDs of mine and um my 

labor and delivery tape my ultrasound video things to me that are Priceless 

that the value of money cannot you know replace okay yes Mr Matson how you doing today 

don't ask me questions I ask questions what happened we had a disagreement it wasn't over what she's saying but she's 

got a really volatile just what was it over it was about her working well tell me about it she 

doesn't like to and she uh she just gets really mad when she has to go do 

something that pertains to work and I'd given her a ride to work she was late 

the guy told her to go home because she wore the wrong shoes after i' already left she called me and told me to come 

back and pick her up and she was just out of her mind then so this argument 

happened on your way after you had dropped her off she called you to come back and pick her up does that sound 

familiar to you no he I do work just a second okay 

the day of this incident who were you working for I worked for this promotional company 

called go ahead Mr Matson well on my first way I'd like to add on my first way out after I dropped her off she'd 

said said I hope you get in the car crash and die um but but was that over the marijuana cigarettes it was no it 

was about another fight okay but did she find the remnants of drugs in the car no 

she did not and I have a clean drug test here to prove everything okay what prompted you to take a drug test because 

she alleged that in our child custody case so the second she did that I went and took a I took a test did you take a 

hair follicle test or a urine test a urine and blood okay the issue over a Clos I'm sorry yeah is I I we we 

together put all of her clothes in this trailer that was on the side of my house and I give her permission to to retrieve 

them out of there um I have pictures of her clothes boxed I have her things 

hanging up in the trailer I have pictures of all of her things in boxes that she helped put in 

there and we and I helped her load them into a minivan when she came over to uh 

retrieve them did you take those things yes I did fine so you took the things that he had put in boxes now things that 

you're talking about here my baby's first Footprints the birth certificate Etc what's the ETC all of her clothes 

okay who purchased the clothes the clothes I was the number one person at who purchased my friends and myself 

where did you purchase the clothes from if you told me you weren't working this is during my pregnancy where were you 

working during your pregnancy I worked at um in Associates it's a promotional 

company your honor um she the day we I loaded her van for her I videotaped that 

and um she didn't inventory any of the boxes and she went directly to the police station from there just claiming 

that I had stolen everything and filed this report from there and also there was a nine dresser drawer that we had 

dedicated just to the baby things from that I kept two drawers worth of clothes 

and I also o have partial custody of the child and I need some clothes for the child absolutely you're absolutely right sir you should absolutely have some of 

the baby's things and to prove her character here's a ransom note for the child proving says number one I want 

$10,000 before we get back together type of person she is I had to file a 

restraining order because I'd given her $1,200 over the weekend to fix her car to get the baby around while we were not 

together and she was living with somebody else let me see Pap on Monday she called me to tell me she was taking 

the baby she' got in a fight with her next guy and she was going to take the baby to Nebraska so I filed the restraining order to keep the baby here 

in the states and I assume that that was granted that she is prohibited from removing the child from the jurisdiction 

without your consent what actually that's not what happened he kidnapped my 

child for me Judge Judy continues in a moment this person lives in a $500,000 

home is that the home you were living in with him mhm was it comfortable not really and later today 

the initial problem was created by you you personally not her real cases real people Judge 

Judy fra Grande claims the father of her child Mark Matson stole her baby's 

belongings and her clothes how can he kidnap his child well what happened was 

I told him if you don't help me find a home after you just left me I have no choice but to move moved to Nebraska 

with my family where they're going to support me he just kicked me out the week before of course I didn't trust him 

I asked him to watch my child for me while I went to a computer class and looked for an apartment when I came to 

pick her up that's when he petitioned for the restraining order and everything he had her for 4 days I have right here 

on his own from a letter from my attorneys stating that he returned my 

daughter to me this is when she's 2 months so what you're both parents you each have equal right to custody and 

Court says otherwise he can't kidnap his own child he was gone just as just as you can't kidnap cuz you each claim that 

the other I'm speaking he can't kidnap his own child nor can you kidnap your 

own child unless there is a prior custody order you H if and as far as 

this case is over the things that she's missing if you wanted to call the next guy who lives at the beach that she ran 

off with he has a garage full of things he's called me he and I have become friends since because she ousted herself 

from his house he and I have become friends since then and I'm supposed from the defendant's house did

person lives in a $500,000 home has three companies is that the home you were living in with him mhm was it 

comfortable not really he always he's living in a 500 just a second he's living in a $500,000 home Madam it must 

be either a very luxurious two room $500,000 home or else there was room for 

the baby's furniture that you bought that is it Mr house he would he refused to turn the 

office into a Nursery we had no he wouldn't make room for the baby's room

it's our baby and she keeps saying my baby so you know everything should be 

shared and now the next case all parties on Valen Court versus O'Reilly step 

forward please 23-year-old preschool teacher Lisa Valen cour ising 

22-year-old bar manager Brendan O'Reilly for her German Shepherd's broken 

teeth Miss Valen Court this is your dog I assume according to your complaint you 

dropped your dog off at a friend's house for your dog to play with her dog yes 

and the defendant came in and decided to take both dogs for a walk correct take 

them to the dog park or the dog park did had anyone asked you to take her dog to the dog park no ma' what happened with 

her dog well there's a gentleman playing with a tennis racket and the tennis ball that the uh dog park supplies he threw 

the tennis ball up to hit it and as he he threw it and swung Jack jumped for the ball so the tennis racket and Jack 

met the ball at the same time so this gentleman hit the dog in the snout yes 

ma'am with the tennis racket but what happened to the dog after he was hit uh 

Jack ran over laid down and whimpered a little bit I ran over to Jack uh saw 

what had happened talked to the gentleman for a minute and what do you mean you talked to him for a minute I 

just I I said that it was unfortunate that it happened and uh asked him his name and that's about it and I left did 

you see the dog's mouth yes ma'am dog was injured yes it was so this lawsuit 

is about pay attention the medical bills that you incurred for the dog yes now Mr 

O'Reilly you asked the gentleman his name did you ask him where he lived no ma' didn't you feel as if he was 

responsible for the injury to the dog I did but many times I hit tennis balls to 

park myself and I thought that if a dog had jumped while I was swinging the Racket and hit it that it would simply 

be an accident and uh those things happen and is that what you told the plaintiff when she told you she wanted 

you to pay the bills yes no he didn't he said you better get a lawyer then cuz I'm not going to hand you the 

money Judge Judy continues in a moment you treated this all very cavalierly 

okay apparently you've never been to a dog park they run no I've been to a dog park sir I have had dogs all my life and 

I know exactly what it's like real cases real people Judge 

Judy Lisa Valen cour claims former friend Brendan O'Reilly is responsible 

for her German Shepherd's broken teeth how much were your vet bills for Jack 

the total was $1,921 and they are currently broken 

again what did they have to do to his it was his front teeth that were broken big K9 teeth he does bite work he's a shiten 

dog which is like police dog training and I train him that's what I bought him for um and they had to do two root 

canals and they recapped them or bonded them it's like a special thing that the doctor does and one of them broke he 

doesn't like his muzzle um and one of them just actually broke two weeks ago when we were doing bite work okay but 

right now your vet bills is what $1,921 originally I was asked to pay 900 

well it got worse I assume you have the bills I have all of them yes let me please stay right 

there they're all circled the 

totals now the initial problem was created by you because you without 

anyone asking you to took her dog I'd have to disagree who who asked you to 

take dog initial problems with her leaving the dog at my house no no you had other options if she left the dog at 

your house were you living there with your girlfriend at the time I was living there okay so you were living there with your girlfriend yes okay you weren't 

complaining that the dog was there because then you could have made a phone call and said get your dog out of my house you decided to take her dog out 

along I assum with the other dog that was there yeah so you made that decision unilaterally so between the two of you 

if the dog is injured let's say the dog is injured by you know a flying meteor not by somebody else's 

negligence you would be responsible because you placed the dog in a position of being in that particular place and 

time okay what if I wasn't there when the dog was left there I had no say in it it doesn't make any difference Mr O'Reilly your recourse is not to take 

the dog to the park your recourse is to pick up a phone and call her and say come get your dog I don't want it here 

Judge Judy continues in a moment what I don't understand even further Mr O'Reilly is this man was 

negligent if you're going to use a tennis racket to hit balls to a dog then you have to make sure that the field is 

clear so that you're not going to hit either another person or a dog that's 

your responsibility if you're using a tennis racket so that you cavalierly walk up to him and say yeah you know it 

happens okay apparently you've never been to a dog Park they run no I've been to a dog park sir I have had dogs all my 

life and I know exactly what it's like but if somebody used a tennis racket and 

in using a tennis racket wasn't careful enough so that my dog was injured I would say not only get his name but get 

his address and find out if he had homeowners insurance that may cover the problem if there were vet bills you 

treated this all very cavalierly bottom line somebody is out $1,921 

and if you had the name of the person and the address of the person for her to 

proceed against they already have it where did she get the name and address of the person as far as I know her sister tracked the person down and got 

the name and address and talked to the gentleman why didn't you I didn't simply because if I was in his shoes I wouldn't 

I would feel the same I wouldn't want to be held responsible I suggest that since you didn't bother to track down this 

gentleman initially that you track him down now because you have a lawsuit 

against him for $1,921 you personally not her you go get 

the money from him judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $1,921 that's all thank you I 

36-year-old home care provider Melody burquest for repossessing her car Melody 

says her daughter wasn't making the [Music] payments come to order all rise 

[Music] yeah this is case number 58 on the calendar in the matter of burquest 

versus burquest parties have been sworn in judge may be seated folks have seats Miss Buras the defendant is your mother 

correct how old are you 19 according to your complaint you needed some help in 

purchasing a car correct and your mother agreed to help you with the purchase of 

the car she was the co-signer correct when was that when did you you purchase 

the car um December 9th 1999 so you were over 18 at that point correct and the 

car is in your name it's in me and my mom's name yes who put down the down payment I did and how much was the down 

payment um I traded in my car that I had they gave me $1,500 for it and then I put $200 cash so far is that correct 

yeah that's pretty much correct and then according to what you've written here your mother took back the car 

correct and you don't have the car anymore more no my sister's driving it you took back the car and gave it to 

your other daughter she thought that she could make the payments on it and you took back the car and gave it to your 

other daughter yes okay when did you do that and why Tasha was late with her 

first payment um she quit her job that she had two about 2 days after she'd got 

the car and she didn't show me that she was going to be able to make the payment 

she got ill she had to go in for emergency surgery and um she left the keys on the counter 

in the kitchen when she went to the hospital I took the keys and had them with me I went to work and I worked 10 

hours I'm gone 10 hours of the day she came when I was at work and took all of 

her belongings she lied to her grandmother cuz she wanted to borrow $25 there was a window broken out of the car 

already when I found this out when I got home and she' moved out I decided to 

hide the car over at my Brothers tyanne then said that she thought that my other daughter she thought that she could make 

the payments and together we made the first one it was about a month overdue before we could make the first payment 

after a month you took the car and you gave it to your other daughter is that right yes do you have the car now yes I 

do are you making the payments on the car I'm behind right now well how much 

behind are you a month and what about the insurance I don't have any 

I asked tyan to at the very least put a four cell sign in the window if she's not going to bring it back to me so that 

we could try to sell it you know because if I you're absolutely right but you can't take her car away without giving 

her her back or down payment do you understand if you took the car after a month she's out her 

$1,700 it didn't go exactly like that okay um Tasha I tried to communicate 

with her if she was going to be able to make the payment and our she started a new job and then she' gotten sick and I 

didn't know if she'd made any money she was working at the car lot that she actually bought the car from she did not communicate that with me at all that 

weekend she showed up at her work with her paycheck flaunting it she never came 

to me and said mom I've got the money or anything I was just protecting my interests in where is the car now you 

have it she's got are you living with your sister yeah mhm I know just a second oh this is very 

easy you have a job now um not right now no well how could you make the payments if you don't have a job um the reason I 

don't have a job is because I'm takeing there I'm going to Colorado at the end of this month and I'm going to be gone 

for two weeks so I can't really start a new job and then just leave so I was going to get a job once I came back well who's supposed to make the car payments 

my sister she's been making them and um how many car payments did you make all together two of them you made two and 

you've had the car since when the end of February and I made the rest I'm going to resolve this case very 

easily she doesn't have a job so she can't make the car payments right right well I can get the money that's not a 

problem to do it where are you going to get the money from as boyfriend no my 

boyfriend what I I was willing to make the car payment for her as a matter of and she made the car payment on my my 

other car so that I could use I had a car to drive I was making you're the boyfriend yes right you're the boyfriend 

fine so you have good credit um it it got bad in October that's an whole 

another issue okay I'm going to resolve this for your mother because your mother did a very very foolish thing yes 

because she co-signed for you the car is titled in your name the car is titled in her name the loan they would come after 

her clearly in the event that the car right no I I actually talked to them asked them if I could get off the loan 

and everything and I said now as far as coming after the payment they said they're going to come after me first 

yeah but you don't have any money so then they're going to come after your mother everything everything is in my name only I mean she is on it but papers 

that show that I sign doesn't make any difference let's say that you co-signed for the loan so they come after you and 

they say give us our money you say I don't have any no I could get the money that's that's not a problem I'm I'm getting a 

job at the of month I had all the money to pay for this car so this is your boyfriend you're driving his car right 

right and I've been paying on that car but you didn't make the first pay right because I didn't have a chance to 

I got real sick here I understand that the bank doesn't care whether you have a chance to I know Miss burus the bank 

doesn't care Judge Judy continues in a moment 

you don't have a car you don't have a car and you don't have a loan cuz you don't have money and you don't have a job and you got the loan do you 

understand and later today you paid the bills in November yeah in October yeah 

in December yes so you you decided to stick it to him for January that would sum it up very well 

then real cases real people Judge Judy Tasha Bist says her mother Melody 

burquest illegally repossessed her car Miss Bist this is what we're going to do 

you're going to give the car back to your mother today you are going to sell the car 

thank you if you don't get enough from the sale of the car to cover the lawn 

okay you can come back okay that way you don't have a car you don't have a car 

and you don't have a loan cuz you don't have money and you don't have a job and you got the loan do you understand so 

the car is to be turned over to your mother today you got it I got it you 

understand you sell it I will that was my plan perfect that's all thank you 

excuse you may step out I this I'm not pleased of course I didn't 

even get to get all my stuff I feel bad I love my kids you know that's why I did 

it and now the next case all parties on Graham versus Graham step forward please 

47-year-old contractor Brian Graham is suing his ex-wife 47-year-old registered 

nurse Cheryl Graham for unpaid bills and the deposit on a car Cheryl is countersuing for pain and suffering and 

harassment Mr Graham you and the defendant were married for 12 years according to your complaint are you currently divorced or 

are you still married legally we are divorced okay and what year was your divorce it was Final about two months 

ago when did you separate uh september/october 1999 and you got an order for spousal 

support is that right yes ma'am and you say Mr Graham that you had an arrangement with your now former wife 

that she would be responsible for certain bills and when she did not pay those bills you deducted that because 

you paid the bills from the spousal support that is correct and then you 

went back to court and the judge told you that since it was an order for spousal support you could not deduct the 

amounts that you claimed because judges don't like it when anybody else fools around with their 

orders that would sum it up very well judge right so the judge told you that 

if you felt you had a claim against her you could sue her in civil court that is correct therefore you're here now you 

see what I managed to glean out of these five pages of papers that you wrote you are so good the only thing that was not 

clear to me Mr Graham is what specific items you are claiming you had an 

agreement over with your former wife so first let me ask a couple of basic 

questions what was the order for spousal support the order that I was to pay 

after paying for the car would be a cash payment of um 

$330 20 cents per month plus an amount for uh making up on a cash out for the 

house and that was honor about September of 1999 the order began as of March 1st 

of this year 2000 so there was no order prior to March 1st that is correct is that right according to the settlement 

it was February 12th when I moved out when he was to start paying support can I see that 

please did you both have attorneys yes yes we did don't know the magic words of keeping it simple husband shall pay to 

the wife ask him for spouse will support $625 a month commencing on the day that the wife moves out of the residence 

she's supposed to vacate the residence March 1st 2000 did you move out of the residence on March 1st 2000 I moved out 

on February 12th okay did you make payments of spousal 

support sir no I did not why we had a Dodge that was coming up to the end of 

its lease in December I knew that a car would be needed for transporting the children and and these were your 

children yes correct these were your children that he raised over the 12 years with you yes so I agreed that when 

that lease was up I would purchase the car and I said but I don't have the down 

payment that's when she agreed to pay $800 toward the down payment of that car and the auto insurance those would be 

deducted from the spousal support okay so you made a car payment of $800 and the auto insurance payments of how much 

$227 66 for that period of time your honor this is the written agreement that uh Cheryl gave me prior to that time uh 

saying that she would pay $800 plus the auto insurance out of the spousal support or settlement order we have 

more uh the next item is the utility bills now I moved out of the house in 

October of 1999 leaving Cheryl and the children staying in the house through 

the time we actually signed our final agreement our final settlement agreement uh Cheryl did pay all the bills uh it 

seems though that on the day we signed that agreement all payments of those bills stopped and that was early in 

January and then when she moved out uh I moved back in and I started getting 

bills that had not been paid bills that were delinquent they included the telephone bill the gas and electric 

water and sewer uh the cable bill had not been paid so that's that makes up a 

um total of $778 1226 did you pay those bills no and why 

he did not move out of the house and my daughter and a neighbor know that he was there daily he was there every morning 

to take my son to school he came and worked in the house he works for himself a lot of the tools are in the garage he 

was there daily working on projects for jobs he used the shower he used the 

house all he did was go spend the night with someone else he was sleeping elsewhere right and you did in fact Miss 

Graham pay the bills prior to January yes you paid the bills in November yes 

in October yes in December yes was he showering picking your son up from 

school using his Tools in October yes in November yes in December yes so you 

decided to stick it to him for January Judge Judy continues in a moment 

he was a wonderful father for 12 years someone does not just become an ogre but he has gone from we'll make this a civil 

divorce to I'm out for blood real cases real people Judge Judy 

Brian Graham says his ex-wife Cheryl Graham owes him for unpaid bills and a car deposit okay let's he you before in 

August before he told me that he wanted a divorce we had discussed how we were going to handle bills and saving money 

for future and that type of thing and I had agreed then to pay the bills and I continued paying it until it occurred to 

me that we didn't have a future and my contributing towards his future didn't make any sense no but you and your 

children were living in the house so was he no he wasn't living there he was doing the same thing that he was doing in September October November and 

December the fact that you decided to change the rules cuz that's what you said you had agreed with him that you 

would pay the utility bills while you were there that was before he asked for a divorce you had said to him I'll pay 

the utility bills while I'm here no I don't believe that's what I said but that's what you did can I make a comment 

here sure I got the order for him to pay me all the erres and he was to pay me 

out on May 16th he did not do that 3 days later he went and he filed this suit for just about the same amount 

several days after that he canceled my car insurance and when we did the settlement agreement I didn't go after 

half of the business that I could have because I was trying to keep it as a semi civil thing since there were kids 

involved and we'd known each other for 30 years Miss gr you clearly had an arrangement with him that you were going 

to take over and pay for the utility bills while you were there and you just decided in January because you were 

going be moving out in February the hell with him let him deal with that when he moves back in which is really what you 

said to yourself so you understand now that you cannot resort to self-help in 

modifying a Judicial order I'm sure that the judge made that abundantly clear to you there is no doubt in my mind your 

honor that was in inappropriate behavior okay so you can't do that I gather Mrs Graham that since you said you've known 

each other for 30 years you did have a marriage in between because you have two children it appears to me at least that 

Mr Graham has been been a reasonable and concerned stepparent to your children he was until August yes do your children 

have a relationship with their father he died he died before Brian and I got married so that what the children know 

is this person has their parental figure right and that's not how he is behaving 

well there are always bad feelings when there is a divorce I'm sure that there are hurt feelings on both sides you know 

doesn't sound like a total CAD to me I mean he did in fact say to you you keep the call car because you're going to 

need the car to get the kids you just said to me that he would come back to the house to drive your son to school he was maintaining an illusion that he was 

living at the house he had to come back to get his clothes he had no clothes there that doesn't require him taking your son to school like you said he 

treated him as a son for 12 years well that's a nice thing that's a good thing that says to me that he's not an ogre 

you're her daughter yes it's just very unfortunate that when a marriage breaks up there are such bad feelings you know 

I mean if he was a good person for 12 years he doesn't all all of a sudden become a monster just remember this there are always two sides to a 

story may I say something please sure I have requested from my mother 

that I be shown any documents in the way of letters or uh court papers that she 

has in which he has Brian has sent to her and you said yes he was a wonderful 

father for 12 years someone does not not just become an ogre but it has appeared 

to me that he has gone from we'll make this a civil divorce to I'm out for 

blood Judge Judy continues in a moment okay how old are you I'm 16 okay 

the first thing is loving parents do not share with their children the particulars of a settlement agreement 

and I don't care whether you're 14 or 12 or 6 

it's an inappropriate thing to share with a child details of financial arrangements and 

right now you no longer even enjoy the legal relationship of stepf Father step parent with Mr Graham that's unfortunate 

what about your brother my brother at the moment is living with Brian at the 

house so your brother is living with plaintiff right how old is Brian will my brother is William how old is William 18 

what is William doing he's in fact he's graduating high school tomorrow I hope he is okay and you see your son 

regularly yes but you don't visit no I don't visit with Brian by my own choice 

okay well that's your choice that's unfortunate in any event I entering a judgment for $2,171 in favor of the plaintiff can I 

get you to order him to follow the settlement agreement where he was going to be keeping the car on the insurance 

and taking the insurance payments out of the spell support I don't understand Mrs Graham why you wouldn't want to have total control over your own money now if 

what you're saying is that instead of giving you the money he should deduct it and pay it himself that seems to me to 

be fool hearty put a period and end it well that's what I'm trying to do good 

that's all won go thank you are excuse you may step out all 

rise be honest's case number 418 on the calendar in the matter of Hickman versus fry parties have been sworn in judge you 

may be seated ma'am have a seat please you were together four and a half 

years you let them use your credit cards you split up you don't pay correct what' you give them your credit cards for um 

well we dated for a little over four and a half years and um he did not have a credit card so um on occasions when he 

needed a credit you have a credit card I didn't want a credit card I didn't need 

one you had hers didn't have hers she had hers did you use hers I didn't use hers 

without her being there she was I didn't mean that you used it without her knowledge and permission did you use her 

credit card we used her credit cards did you ever use her credit card for things that were strictly for you yes like what 

um well we uh some car repairs okay and that was for your car 

right so you did need a credit card for your car repairs uh well at the situation I didn't really need a credit 

card I could have paid for it myself cash but it was offered the use of the credit card to pay for my car in 

Paris so chivalry being dead you accepted well that's a different type of 

I wouldn't say that I'd say that the money was supposed to be used towards a vacation that I was going to be going on 

with the plaintiff how much did you charge on her credit card for your car repair uh about $850 did you pay for 

that would be actually incorrect okay how much did he pay how much did he pay for the car repairs um how much did he 

charge on your credit card for the car repairs for the car repairs is about $1,400 and how much of that did you pay 

I'd say I paid probably all of it show me I can't show you I can show you what I did pay though I can show you what 

I've paid over the years basically the plain of had my checkbook she wrote checks for me um she just said okay well 

this is what we're paying this is what I'm paying um and I just continued to pay let me just see sir your checks for 

June there you go okay June and this is a statement I paid 

908 you know are basically through our relationship I paid for everything what are you showing me here those are copies 

I couldn't get canceled checks in time bank sent me the wrong statements so I'm showing you a bank statement and as well as copy of my 

check Ledger which shows that I paid 908 I'm not interested in your check 

leder sir okay now what about Visa let me see the charges on visa for his car yeah 

right here and I have payments I mean he was accredited this is from uh October of '95 until July of 96 and there's in 

the red those are his payments so I gave him full credit for everything that he uh did or paid I just want what he owes 

me plus the interest it's a crude 

sense I agree that it's pretty lame that PR lame very lame very lame I know 

matter of me charged on her cards like I want this I'm charging on the credit C and you're paying for it okay you ow you 

owe her some money for her for the car repairs sir but these other charges it I 

mean are his that he made did she I would not have said that yes go ahead and use my credit card and I'll pay for 

this on the American Express bill that she breaks down for June does she break down what would be my charges and her charges mhm okay why wouldn't she want 

to do that throughout our relationship on the American Express always just a second why she did but maybe she did it 

in this month because you know you don't break up overnight things start going bad in the months before that couple 

years before that right well then you stayed in the relationship longer than you should have you know people have to 

be smart both men and women you don't co-mingle these assets and expect somebody else courts to waste their time 

going through a five-year relationship separating who bought Kleenex and who bought toilet paper and whether it was 

his toilet paper or your Kleenex that's just not going to happen Madam you look like an intelligent young woman you 

don't let somebody else use your credit card his word dating for four and a half years isn't being married I realize that 

why after four and a half years weren't you married huh exactly 

exactly exactly exactly so Mr Fry yes your honor I'm 

going to try to keep it as simple as possible you broke up in June July in July of 

1996 correct yes what I would like you to do is assuming that this was valid evidence which it is 

not but assuming it was I just want you to take out the sheet of payments that 

you made on the Visa and MasterCard on or after July of 

1996 none all right so that what you're expecting me to believe sir that everything was paid prior is that you 

were all up to date on the Visa and all up to date on the MasterCard if that's what you want me to believe that's what 

I want you to believe no way no way your honor breakups are never 

good I mean through our four-year relationship I paid for um and I think the pl of will agree that I basically 

financially took care of her uh when we went out I would disagree well she can disagree if you'd like but uh since I 

was making more money than her I took more of the financial burden and and that was UND so that when you broke up 

there was an $88,000 bill due on Visa okay that was a debt that was a debt 

that wasn't my $88,000 well but a good por at least a portion of it sir was yours portion of it here has your car 

repairs which were extensive and you were making minimum payments due on the account so then you break up and you 

decide well I don't have to make minimum payments anymore on the account I'm not going to make another payment on the account which is exactly what you did 

because there is nothing in your alleger to suggest that after you kissed each other goodbye you made one additional 

payment which is out really out I never knew how much money I paid all along now well that's your 

problem Judge Judy continues in a moment I do believe him when he says that he 

paid for certain things in cash otherwise you would have been a jerk to stay with him since he was earning four times as much as you were right yes good 

and later today you don't sir ask her boyfriend to step up to the mic so that 

you can do Fister cuffs with him it's like Dumb and 

Dumber real cases real people Judge Judy Wendy Hickman wants her 

ex-boyfriend Mark Frey to pay her back for the use of her credit while they were together she's suing you for half 

of this $8,000 and I don't even know if half of it is yours but I certainly think that your car repairs are yours 

there are a lot of other charges here that are substantial big ones you know did you go to um TOA Lodge and TOA 

California together yeah we did you went together and you charged that on the credit card $232 right she charged it I paid it you 

paid okay I would she would charge something I'd bring cash and I i' pay cash how who would you pay cash to I'd 

pay cash for everything else it wasn't matter of okay let's thr everything on the credit card I wasn't walking around Penn oh I just a second I understand you 

went to this Lodge and how long we at the lodge two nights yeah two nights two nights but truth is I see what you mean 

the lodge is paid for on here but you also had to eat you TI people I assume 

you didn't go skiing or what I have my own money I it's not like I went penniless no but if he was with you so I 

assume he paid no not necessarily you know something truth of the matter 

is I don't necessarily believe you either I think that uh you put some 

things on your credit card some things that are clearly his bills but according 

to this you did go on vacation certain things you put on the credit card but there if you look down the same dates 

there are no dates there like for restaurants going out to eat so that he probably paid some of some of the meals 

in cash and you put some of the stuff on your credit card and whether that balanced itself out 50/50 is anybody's 

guess you still had an $8,000 nut nobody is going to figure this out certainly I 

am not going to award you $4,000 because I do believe him when he says that he paid for certain things in cash 

otherwise you would have been a jerk to stay with him since he was earning four times as much as you were right yes good 

so I don't think you look like a jerk so I'm awarding you $2,000 consider yourself lucky that's all bu's I excuse you may step out 

unbelievable 

I was helping him out he uh he didn't have the money he didn't have the credit to get a credit card so I allowed him to 

use it I was making four times as much so how come I didn't have the money I don't know good question you just don't 

say on good faith that I'm going to pay you back and you don't do it that's just wrong but it's okay to take and take and 

take and then that's all right you have a twisted view of our relationship and now the next case all 

parties on Welton versus lunaria restaurant step forward please harmonica 

virtuoso Danny Welton is suing restaurant owner Bernard jacop for not paying for his performance Bernard 

claims the harmonica player's rude Behavior caused customers to leave Mr Welton yes ma'am you play the

bar restaurant and somebody was Behaving Badly EXC don't say excuse me I don't 

excuse you pay attention you don't have to be a genius to figure this out just have to use 

little common sense if somebody is drunk in the audience then what you do is you 

try not to have that escalate into a dangerous situation dangerous either for 

you for the other patrons for members of the band and if a situation appears to 

be escalating then you use good judgment not that male Macho 

testosterone that I've heard about so much lately you walk off the stage and you 

approach the owner or the manager and you say there's this lady out there 

heckling me I just taken a quick break see what you can do about this lady because I can't continue to perform you

closing down the show because you invite somebody to come up to the stage somebody who is probably drunk cuz he's 

with a drunken lady according to you well he charged the stage so I said come on you know you know Mr wel you keep

back step forward please 57-year-old machinist Fred denal says his son 40-year-old Rick denal owes him for 

caring for Rick's son his grandson 15-year-old 

Richard order all rise quiet in the courtroom please all rise 

sir today judge this number 417 on the calendar in the matter of denal versus 

denal parties have been sworn in judge you may be seated have seats please all right looks like the cast is 

as follows you sir are the plaintiff yes ma'am this is your son yes 

grandson yes how old are you 15 is this the grandson in question yes 

you are suing your son for support retroactive support for a time 

when your grandson came to live with you yes 

youron why don't you tell me why he came to live with you well my son and his wife ex-wife 

called my wife and I and told us that they couldn't control Richard anymore and that he was becoming a 

a street person he was on drugs and did not go into school and they decided to 

get rid of him they were going to throw him into uh Court uh I guess the uh ward 

of California till he was 18 they put him in a mental institution in belflower California and that's where we picked 

him up at and my son and daughter-in-law or ex-daughter-in-law promised us that they 

were going to help us to support Richard and we knew he had a history of drugs and when did did you have this 

conversation about support this was about first of June or so cuz we picked 

up Richard on the 12th of June right well tell me what the conversation was 

about support well that they would both give us $100 a month to help us take 

care of Richard I told my son that I couldn't afford to to solely pay it so 

that's uh that I needed his help to help me with Richard 

and he agreed and so did Brenda or uh Michelle as she's well known now and we 

went before a notary and we signed papers to that effect I cannot find my copies all my files are missing and I 

don't know why you mean copies of papers that say he would pay you $100 a month 

yes and you telling me that that was in writing yes is that true sir no it 

wasn't so what happened with Richard when he came to your home well uh we tried to get him into 

school cuz he'd been out of school for over I guess 6 months or 7 months he was flunk in seventh grade so I called the 

governor of Utah and asked them if they could help me to get Richard into some kind of a tutoring program and I guess 

through the him calling the school in our area and everything I finally got him a tutor to help him through the summer to get ready for the eighth grade 

how long did he live with you all together 11 months he had I had him up 

until December 25th what happened in December yeah we met his father and uh his father's uh new 

wife in uh Caesar's Palace I believe it was and we let Richard reacquaint with 

his father and we talk tried to talk to his father into taking him home with him for a week or two and he did and then 

about a week after he had him or 3 days or four days something like that called me back and said I'm deciding to keep 

Richard and how long did he keep him for uh well he called me back in uh it's 

either January February and told me he couldn't keep Richard in the house he kept running away he was starting to 

Dish school again if he was in school I don't think his father put him in school for at least a month or so and then uh 

uh about a month after that he called me again and said Richard was uh a runaway 

again he took off in his uh underwear or his pajamas I don't know which and his 

father was looking for him but it took him a week to find him and then he came back to live with you you know then he 

went to court and he was being charged for two burglaries and a few other things now my son didn't want him 

anymore so he had petitioned the court to make Richard a ward of the Court 

until he was 18 they called me and asked me if I could take Richard back to Utah to save 

him from being Award of State of California and you did I did and how 

long did you keep him at that point I had him until October I believe my son snuck up and told him and stole him from 

us what do you mean he snuck up and stole him he came up while my wife and I were 

at where she works and uh then I get a call from my daughter saying that Rick 

had just come up there with a sheriff and took Richard with him and then after that happened we 

found a lot of papers missing our files few other things so I don't know if they prepared this prior to him coming up or 

what okay sir um when Richard went to the um hospital his mother put him in 

there because Richard was living with his mother at the time Brenda uh Michelle she came and 

told me that she put him in the hospital and I said well ask Richard he wants to come to live with me he said no so 

Michelle said well how about if he can go with his grandfather well Fred said 

yeah I'll take him so Richard says well I'll go with him so he went with him 

because Brenda Michelle was going to put him into a placement home when did you change your name from Brenda to Michelle 

about four 5 years ago see when I was married to her she was Brenda so I'm 

used to Brenda you know calling her Brenda so my uh Fred took him to Utah 

with him and he asked me well Rick are you going to help me and I says well if I have some money I will send you some 

money he says okay so he went up to Utah and uh I was 

getting calls from Fred that he was in trouble uh sniffing gas and all this 

stuff we met in Las Vegas in December and my fa and Fred said um take Richard 

with you he I want him to get to know you again and all that I said okay so Richard was with me and he was getting 

in some trouble with the law and stuff like that so we went to court and the 

court was going to put him into a placement so Richard says well I'll go back to Grandpa's 

in Utah so I called him up and I asked him I said Fred Richard would like to come back to Utah and he says okay I'll 

take him back he came down and picked him up took him up there and he was having problems with 

Richard um Richard was sneaking cigarettes and uh he asked for the 

cigarettes back and Richard said no so he punched him out gave him a black eye 

and so I called up there and I asked how's everything with Richard and he says well 

I just punched him out cuz he wouldn't give me the cigarettes then he mouthed off and I hit him again I saids you know 

that's not right why are you doing that well I'm tired of this excuse my French I'm tired of it and I said well try to 

understand you know then I called up again then he's over medicating them 

with zoff 150 milligram a day and I said why 

are you doing that she says well I'm trying to keep him calmed down and I talked to my girlfriend my 

wife and I says well you know what let's go up to Utah and pick him up he's getting abused Judge Judy will continue 

in a moment stupid isn't written you sir they do not send you to NA meetings because you on soloff don't say dumb 

things especially to me real cases real people Judge 

Judy 57-year-old machinist Fred denal says his son 40-year-old Rick denal owes 

him for caring for Rick's son his grandson 15-year-old Richard well let 

just a second let's step back a minute the judge in the court in 

California permitted your son instead of going to a juvenile facility to go to 

live with your father is that correct yes he was released to your father's custody not to yours is that right uh 

yes so you had no right to go and pick him up because he was in fact released 

to your father's custody right right see I didn't even read those papers and I know that bird 

knows that too CU we've been around the block SE didn't uh the court said he 

they allowed him to go up there isn't that a different phrase 

allowed let me tell you what they did in the state of California they saved themselves probably 100,000 bucks by not 

putting him in a facility here a taxpayer's expense they said we're going to make it Utah's problem we'll send 

them to Utah to live with his 

grandfather let me first discuss with you sir your counter suit I'd like to get that resolved first which is you're 

suing for mental anguish for your son you want $2,000 you don't get a 

penny nothing okay 

your 15-year-old problem you visited on your father and 

mother they had their own problems I assume you wen't a piece of cake to 

raise you have other children sir yes how many other children we have three others and they raised their 

children you were having a problem with your child so let me tell you what you did you were having a problem you and 

Brenda Michelle Sonia whatever her name is you were having a problem with your 

child you couldn't deal with it so you call your father help me I'll take 

him then you take him back while he's in your care goes out 

and he commits a couple of burglaries now the courts are going to take 

them the courts have evidently decided that you are not fit to take take care of him and your former wife Michelle 

Brenda Sonia is not prepared to take care of him so they call your 

father with your permission and he takes 

them how you can't control him neither could 

you so where you get this counter suit from you've been reading too many 

fiction books but let's get to your 

lawsuit how much money did you send to your father in The 

Almost year that your son lived there 

$100 GI certificate for Sears for JC 

Pennies how many children do you have how many do I have that was I have one 

this one yes no he has three others that he don't bother to claim or 

support like just a second how many children do you have I 

have one you don't have three others what is it you don't well I have 

I have another child except she got remarried and she adopt she had the child adopted from her re for new 

husband so that accounts for one and what about two more two more two more 

you have two more no that that you don't see I'm not talking about that you see that you don't see that you support that 

you don't support that you have I have three h 

well so I assume that since you say you only have one child that I don't even 

have to ask the question whether you don't support the other three children what kind of work do you do I 

work for a company called West sanitation put air fresheners in restrooms okay how long have you been 

working for them um 6 years how old are you sir 40 years old 

you there comes a time when you have to stop visiting your problems on your parents you got a lot of other problems 

meanwhile the one major problem that you have was a 15-year-old child you asked your parents to take some responsibility 

for him and then you had some financial problems and in a whole year you sent them 100 bucks you know you can't feed a 

goldfish on 100 bucks he said something rather interesting sir 

in his answer which I'm sort of curious about did you apply for welfare for him when he was living with you yes I did 

and how much did you collect for welfare while he was living with you master you remember uh 

two me I think it was two payments of 250 that was towards the end of uh 96 

yeah I only got two up to they helped me out with two months two months and how much did you receed for those two months 

it was a total of 500 cuz it was 240 a month so it was quarter 480 yeah cuz 

Richard had a $1,200 hospital bill when he was sniffing gas okay but they paid that right that's how we had to go for 

this Judge Judy will continue in a moment if he cared he wouldn't be doing what he did to him up there in 

Utah beating them up you know give them all too much 

medication real cases real people Judge 

Judy Fred Den know wants his son Rick to pay him back for caring for his son 

Richard I have a sense that you haven't seen the last of this 

responsibility but right now it's your son's responsibility you have a lawsuit for me and I try to keep things simple 

you know the old kiss principle keep it simple your agreement was for 

$1,100 you got $480 I am not giving you credit sir for the $100 gift certificate 

that you sent to your son for for clothes it's ridiculous so I'm awarding

to me but I'm pleased to see that you're doing better 

right Judge Judy is ready to 

rule seems to me that if it was recently that you spent some time with your grandfather and grandmother even though 

you may not think so now it may have been a good break for you because if it wasn't for them you would have been in 

juvenile hall right yes huh yes and that wouldn't have been a very good thing no 

you wouldn't have liked that right no so they really saved you from 

going to jail I went what I went you went to jail they saved you from 

spending more time in jail yes is that right yes did you thank them yes do you 

write to them no do you think you should they told me and my father they didn't 

want nothing to do with this I think you grandparents probably would like to hear from you even if it's just an occasional 

note you think you can do that yes good 

that's all why I excuse you may step out 

thank Judge Judy will continue in a moment step forward please 22-year-old

lawsuit sir I believe so none of this property that was taken is yours is that right no the boots and earrings are not 

mine sit down but I help contribute sit down Miss Scott you allege I assume that 

this young lady stole certain things from you yes she did what do you say she 

stole from you she stole my figure8 earrings that I had purchased in November they were Diamond C figur 

earrings and she stole my uh Timberlin boots okay and you claim how old are you 

I'm 16 your name is Tiara Walker Tiara yes and you say well I have the earrings 

right no I don't have the earrings who has the earrings my little sister Tanisha Walker where is 

she that Tanisha has the earrings Yes and she'll give them back 

when she pays $450 for babysitting right yes mhm and 

as far as the boots are concerned you have her boots yes yes I do and the 

reason I took her boots is because she borrowed my sneakers and didn't return them yes my mother and my sister had to 

go up there and get them but you still have the boots yes I do so what wanted to tell me how this 

family tragedy began uh well it all started in November 

when me and my husband and my two children uh went over Tracy's house for a couple of weeks to stay until my house 

came through uh when I went over there I took my jewelry off and I set it on an entertainment system 2 days later when I 

went to put my earrings back on they were gone I asked everyone in the house that they know where my earrings was at 

everyone said no including my husband I called Tracy while she was at work and she said she didn't know anything about 

him I was hoping maybe she put him on to go to work in or something so that was the end of my earrings I moved out on 

December 2nd I got my house maybe two weeks later I moved away and about a 

week later Tracy called me saying tiar ran away again tiar is a runaway she ran 

away again and did I see her or you know did I know where she would be at or anything like that and I told her no and 

as the conversation grew on she said and she ran away and your temp my boots and I was like my boots so you 

know I said well you going to have to get me another pair she said no she's going to have to get you another pair Tiara is 16 years old she's a minor no 

no I'm sorry Tiara is 16 years old she's a minor I don't expect anything to come 

from her I expected to come from her parents her husband Tyrone Walker said the same thing to me he told me he would 

make sure that you know I would get my belongings back okay so it's those two 

things it's your boots and your earrings yes step up here 

how did you come in possession of her earrings okay well she left them so I picked them up she left him where and at 

my house mhm so I picked him up and I said well Sharon you know kept telling 

me that she was going to pay me for babysitting her baby for okay I babysit I babysit and I babysit she never gave 

me no money for babysitting except for two times so I just said I'll take her earrings just in place you know just in 

place of the money but I said I will turn when she gave my money that's a lie just a second who did you say that to to 

you to yourself I told my mom and I told her boyfriend you picked up the earrings 

mhm what did you do with them when you picked them up nothing I put them up put them up where on top of the refrigerator 

mhm what' you put them up on top of the refrigerator for because she wasn't getting them back she wasn't getting 

them back yes mhm so you stole her earrings no I did 

not steal them oh I'm telling you that you did I'm telling you that you stole her 

earrings if she owed you for babysitting you have the perfect right to say you 

didn't pay me the last time for babysitting and I'm not going to babysit for you again until you pay me you don't 

wait until according to you she owes you $450 330 I didn't say 450 well I have a 

coun to suit here for $450 what 

must and that's made up nonsense and say well that's the reason 

that I took the earrings excuse me can I say something yeah Sharon had told my 

daughter on several occasions that she would pay her money for watching her daughter okay Tanisha agreed to it 

Sharon knows that my daughter no no no no don't talk to each other twice she paid my daughter two times out of maybe 

it was several times my daughter had um listen to me how many is several she had 

written it down okay a total that she has gotten down so far was nine okay two different occasions Sharon paid her for 

watching her the rest she did not only because my daughter being Tenisha you 

know nice and whatnot she watched her child she watched her child when her child your last is your last name Walker 

yes my last name is Walker and this is your daughter yes and she 

came are you telling me Madam that you are 

condoning as a parent who's trying to set an example for their 

children your daughter taking property that didn't belong to her hiding it in 

your house by putting it on top of the refrigerator fine good Judge Judy continues in a moment I 

don't want to hear from you you're a liar who you are a liar well yeah liar 

you're a liar I and your mother is encouraging you and later today you mean the child 

was removed from your custody the child was removed she was not removed she abandoned him she asked her brother to 

watch our son and she left him real cases real people Judge 

Judy Sharon Maul Scott is suing Tiara and Tanisha Walker for stealing her 

boots and Jewelry let us say that I believe everything that you said so far 

that your daughter Babys sat for her nine times and was paid 

twice right is that what you're saying yes all right and how much will you paid 

on the two times that you Babys set well she only paid me 20 $20 one time that 

was for one day yes she paid me 10 the other time at the time that she paid you 

the $20 how long did you babysit for her well she well Marvin bought the baby 

over about 10 and she can't pick him up like around 7 10: in the morning and she 

came and picked baby up at 700 in the evening mhm and you baby sat for $20 for 

that period of time yes now the next time you said she gave you $10 mhm so 

how many hours did your babyit at that time well that time I said she paid me about 

$10 for 3 hours cuz I told her I would watch the baby while she go out and dance so let's say it's about $3 an hour 

now the other seven times that you say you babysat for her tell me about them okay I babysit the baby three times that 

was for a one week a one week period what do you mean a one week period okay I babysitter for one week one week 

what's a week you mean the seven days you baby seven days seven days yes I 

Babys said her baby from what time to what time they brought the baby over on Friday came back the next Sunday you 

mean for a whole week they left the baby with who yes they did me with who me tell me about that that's a lie your 

honor no it's not my daughter is my daughter right now was only seven months uh she hasn't babysit at my daughter 

since I I say about three four months now did you did you ever leave the bab no I did not you didn't let me finish 

the question how could you answer the question if you didn't let me well I'm just saying I did not I never left my baby with a minor for a week well that's 

what I'm asking you never did you ever leave the baby with her for a week no 

never did you ever leave the baby for a couple of days no never I will always if 

if she watched my daughter it would be a couple hours time period of a couple hours and I would go pick her up or my 

husband would go pick her up let me explain something to you Tanisha yes your account to suit us for $450 for 

babysitting that's what you filed I filed according to you3 let's make it 330 then so that's even less according 

to you with $3 an hour which is what you would say you were paid the last time you would have had to have Babys sat for 

her 110 

hours no way now listen to me Miss Walker I would suggest that you try to 

tell your daughters that if they have a dispute with someone they do not resolve that dispute by self-help which is what your daughter did your daughter took 

property she stole it she stole it it didn't belong to her she had no right to take it absolutely no right to take it 

if she had a dispute with regard to babysitting she always has a legal recourse I understand what you're saying 

and that's what I told my daughter but she felt strongly about what she did and the reason for her doing that did you 

explain to her strongly as her mother that that still wasn't appropriate and it wasn't appropriate of her not to pay 

my daughter either just a Miss Walker yes you got a problem 

Madam your problem is if your daughter believes strong in the virtue of her position you have to explain to her as 

her mother that whether she believes strongly in it or not she's wrong you don't take property that 

doesn't belong to you because she may have a dispute with your daughter put 

your hand down I'm not finished with you yet cuz we're going to get back to the boots yeah I know also Tanisha had two 

rings that belong to me just a second two rings appear earrings in my boots and what about well you're absolutely 

right you have two rings who has rings I have them you have the Rings too well she let me hold them and she never 

returned them because what you did to my sneakers that's why I didn't return them you also have her rings because of 

something she did to your sneakers well she let me hold them she never asked me back she never asked me where are they I 

don't know they lost now the ring I was willing to pay 

for what do you mean they're lost they're lost I don't know where they at I I didn't wear them personally now you 

why did you take her boots I didn't take her boots you were wearing her boots it says here that you were wearing her boots she left them over my house y so I 

wore when I left but she never did ask me for him back you never asked me for 

him just a second did you get back a pair of sneakers I had to go get just a 

minute did you get them back I did did you return the Rings the 

ring just a second I want you to answer my question did you return the Rings no I didn't did did you return the boots no

professional they earn well over 100k and she invited me down to her home and she works out of her living room which 

is located in Rono Beach and I went down there and she she described me her service and how she has years of 

experience psychology and sociology and how she's must have set up you know 

90% anyway wonderful and it wasn't going to cost you anything because the men pay 

well when she told me the service for women was free however you have to pay a fee of only $165 to have your 

photographs taken at her photography studio located in Hollywood and you don't have the option of going to your 

own service you have to go to hers you don't even have the option of bringing in your own photographs did you at any 

time ask then how she made a living I mean how did she make her money what she 

does is that she contacts all these men that she has in her catalog tells them about our profile and background if they 

like what they hear then they go down to her house review our photographs then they instruct her I want to meet this 

woman this woman that woman this woman and then she contacts the women and said this guy wants to meet you this guy 

wants to meet you this guy wants to meet you that sounds all very nice how do you make your living do you 

charge the men yes Shir depending on how long they join your honor they pay 

anywhere between 2,000 and 5,000 depending on how long they join your honor they pay anywhere between $2,000 

and $5,000 depending on the length of the membership depending on the amount of guaranteed introductions they receive 

the women pay absolutely no membership fee whatsoever per so let me figure this out 

so you went down and took your photographs correct and paid $165 

correct and nothing happened correct didn't get a call I got nothing from her 

every single month I called her and I go hey what's up what's going on anything yet and finally after the fourth or 

fifth month I finally got her on the phone because every time I called her I always got her machine and she said you 

weren't picked well in effect that that's in effect that's what she said I mean I'm not being unkind to you right 

that's what she said to you well she said a little a little bit more than that well I'd like to hear what she said she goes well I ask her hey Linda what's 

going on it's been four four or five months you know you gave me the impression that you were going to set me up with all these guys you know and she 

said to me listen you had you read your contract the service for you is free I 

work for the men who paid me a service fee of $5,000 and and had you paid me 

$5,000 I would get off my butt tomorrow and start and start look for someone for you and why don't I would get off my 

butt tomorrow and start and start look for someone for you and why don't on me 

you know and I'm just going real nice woman so I called her back up I go Linda 

listen to me all I want to know how many men did you potentially introduce to call what did you call her back for well 

I was just kind of curious how many men did she present me to one two five just a second I don't want to hear you 

anymore I really don't want to hear you anymore Judge Judy will continue in a 

moment that Madam is a kick back do you tell them you're getting a kickback from the photographer 

good real cases real people Judge Judy Barbara bartov says she was never 

called for a date now she wants Matchmaker Linda Talon to return the money she spent on photos for the dating 

service how many women like this pay you $165 to have their photographs taken um 

I've been in business for over six years this is the first time this has ever ever happened I would say well maybe because the other ones were embarrassed 

I would say probably 500 why did you need a certain photographer to take the pictures the way that I do that is 

because when the men review the files they're very visual I can guarantee they have not been airbrushed or retouched 

they feel comfortable when they go and meet the women for dinner that they will not look different they will not be disappointed well listen just just a 

second we may talk a good game I guarantee you on your best day you're 

not as smart as I am you are seeing the product in your 

office if the product comes in the lady product you don't mind if I refer you for the purposes of this argument as a 

product you can see what they look like and if they bring you a photograph and say well here are my photographs and you 

look at it and say babe this is airbrushed well this looks like you when you were 12 can you we get some more updated pictures they can go out and do 

that so that's the assurance that you need because you're meeting the person 

she came to your home home/ office so why does she have to take 

pictures for $165 I just explained to you so the men feel 

baloney because what you're saying to the men is I've seen this person they come to your home/ office 

and they look at the photographs and what you're saying is I have seen this person and this photograph is a fair and 

accurate representation of what they look like I wouldn't allow a photograph to be placed in here of somebody that that's 

10 years old so you're a scam artist cuz you're 

using this photography business as a way of making 

money I dis your service oh no you don't have to be a genius to figure that 

out cost her $165 and she got absolutely nothing from her she's perfectly 

attractive upbeat kind of gal people wouldn't know that she's an upbeat kind of gal from a photograph but she's 

certainly a perfectly attractive lady she spent $165 and got absolutely nothing from you because as far as I'm 

concerned you're operating a scam can I interject your honor yes charges $3,000 with zero guarantees 

and they make you go to that one photographer for $250 like it or not no guarantees I personally got married 

through them well I want to tell you something so they do the same routine so what I'm I tell you something just 

because one company is scamming for $250 and one company is scamming for $165 

that doesn't make it right that doesn't make that doesn't make it right and I'm not even going to ask you 

how much of that $165 ends up in your pocket cuz I don't like people to commit 

perjury dear your honor there were no guarantees did you hear what I said you 

want me to ask you the question how much of that $165 ends up in your pocket Judge Judy 

is ready to rule 

Miss Talent how much of that $165 ends up in your pocket very little H very 

very little ain't nothing so what you said is a free service is not a free 

free membership free membership God Miss Talon you know everybody is out to make a buck on somebody 

else's sorrow sadness hopes dreams aspirations you yours is one of the 

worst kind and the other companies that you talk about who do the same thing are also among the worst because they're 

taking people who are really looking to make a life for themselves who say I want this and whether it's your place 

Great Hopes great dreams whatever else they are they're saying pay us 165 pay us 250 there's no membership fee just go 

or $20 or $50 of 165 I'm not asking you that question cuz it's really not important how much you get you've 

already told me you get very little which means you get something that Madam is a kickback do you tell them that do 

you tell them you're getting a kickback the photographer good $165 that's what you're suing for that's what you get 

that's all parties are excuse you may step out Judge Judy will continue in a moment 

and on the next Judge Judy I can't twist someone's arm to go 

out with someone they're the ones that are paying they get cart blanch as to who they want to meet meet I personally got married through a Matchmaker and I 

and that are totally happy because they do get a service that I provide for them and they're very happy with and that are 

totally happy because they do get a service that I provide for them and they're very happy with the 

results uh and one to an employer do you have copies of those 

letters I certainly do may I see them please 

did you write this letter yes I did your honor and who did you circulate it to uh only to the tenants in the park and the 

people that see seed on there no employers that's not true mhm well there are a lot of things in 

this letter it's sort of a rambling letter but there are several things in here that I want to address specifically 

show me proof of arrests for driving while under the influence of alcohol I 

can't show you proof of that it's something that she no did you there just a second did you have any written 

proof that she or her husband have arrest I say her husband I said she she 

has arrests for driving Under the Influence no this was something she told she has arrests for driving Under the 

Influence no this was something that she told me if it's a lie she told it 

m did you ever tell her that you were arrested yes sir I did why did you tell her 

that okay because was it true yeah it's true okay but that's my 

business just a second loss of custody of her TR 

welfare fraud again welfare fraud again something she 

admitted to that's not true oh no oh no this is something she admitted to I have witnesses to that to you yeah oh no I 

never committed fraud just a second oh no uh eviction after 

eviction the last several years okay can I tell you why some of these things I know uh over the past few years I worked 

legal at some time and they were thinking about having me do a bankruptcy for them okay and this is all the information 

that came out during that time when they were trying to tell me about their bankruptcy yeah okay Miss wol for I have 

a couple of questions I mean there are a lot of things in this letter that suggest that uh you people don't get 

along as neighbors don't at all you're right and that you intend to pursue this 

matter legally and that according to the letter you are trying to get a restraining order against the plaintiffs 

just pay attention mhm you are trying to get a restraining order against them to 

stay away from you and your property exactly and I assume that the thrust of 

this letter you say which brings me to the focal point of this 

letter that you are trying to get a restraining order and request the assistance of I assume all the people 

that you sent this letter to mhm M should you see either one of these two people yes 

in or near my property please call 911 that's correct right continue harass 

ination so my question to you is 

what do the following things have to do with you D DUI arrests loss of custody of her 

child welfare fraud eviction what did they have to do 

with me personally yes okay they have personally they have nothing to do with me good so what do 

they have to do with the focal point of this letter the focal point of the letter was to say these people are 

intimidating me these people are harassing me You' said that that these people are accusing me of calling a 

social worker did you read that part they're accusing me of turning them into welfare fraud no no listen to me I'm not 

addressing that okay true I'm looking at this letter and you say that they have 

done and said a lot of very hurtful things hurtful and harassing things to you 

true none of which is gerine to any of these 

acts that you attribute to them the DUI arrests the loss of custody welfare 

fraud anything else that doesn't have anything to do with what you're complaining about so you gratuitously put that in this 

letter no that's that's sure I understand what you're saying I think you're full of I think that you put this in the letter 

just to embarrass them sure I understand what you're saying I think you're full of baloney I think that you put this in the letter just to embarrass them well 

she needs to be embarrassed you know I wanted to keep her from intimidating me anymore I wanted to stop her from 

harassing me she stayed in the house three weeks and I was fine now just a second she should have been embarrassed hey I was hey humiliated embarrass hey 

just a second you want to say something you're dying to say something yes I am well stand up that's not true your honor 

what's not true this woman is harassing her I I haven't gotten I haven't gotten to that yet okay well I just a second 

I'm talking about this letter MH that's what I'm talking about that's the first thing I'm addressing I'm going to 

address everybody's complaint I'm addressing this letter and I absolutely understand that if any of this is true 

it's conduct that should not be tolerated if any of this harassment is true it should not be tolerated right 

what I'm addressing is the gratuitous she saying I shouldn't have said that gratuitous statement 

here about them that had absolutely nothing to do with the problem of harassment you got it do you understand 

I understand Judge Judy continues in a moment I wrote the letter in November

quiet so you borrowed her typewriter you did yes 

ma'am and I'm still waiting for you to tell me why you didn't return the typewriter because she never finished 

the bankruptcy so you decided to keep her typewriter and that's what all this 

trouble started over come because if this lady was supposed to do something 

for you and you paid her 20 come because if this lady was supposed to do something for you and you paid her $20 

and she didn't do it you had several choices you could have either written it off you could have written her a letter 

and you could have said I want my $20 back did and if she didn't give it to you you could have sued her but what you 

chose to do is take her very expensive 

machine and keep it according to your wife sir unless 

you're calling your wife a liar no but you're calling your wife a liar I'm not well that's what she say she say 

sentence what I'd like to finish what I was going to say go ahead this $150 typewriters of her she kept outside in 

the yard it was an extra it was Rusty it never what does that have to do with you 

whether she keeps it outside whether she keeps it hanging from her what does that have to do with you whether she keeps it 

outside whether she keeps it hanging from her tree whether she wants to wear it as a Lorette around her neck it's her type riter she can do whatever she wants 

with it you went over and borrowed it Bingo don't irritate me I'm 

sorry Judge Judy continues in a moment you can not prove without a voice 

expert I'm certainly not GL bring my phone bill and that'll prove it too I look like I need help from 

you real cases real people Judge Judy Jeff and Lori hasket say their 

neighbor Carol wiol slandered them Carol says they harassed her it was very very 

wrong of you to write this 

letter because it's not right to divulge things 

that have been told you in some sort of a confidence whether it was a confidence sure it was you just no listen to me hey 

I'm really smart okay all right you just told me five minutes ago and my memory is totally intact that you found out 

certain of this information when you were preparing their bankruptcy so that was told to you in what we call a 

fiduciary relationship which means you were prepar preparing papers for them and you found out certain information uh 

can I say something nothing you have to acknowledge that it was the wrong thing to do to put that thing in this letter 

when you're angry maybe sometimes you do wrong thing that's right so you were angry you do yeah that's what the 

officer told her to do she called yeah he didn't tell me specifically to do that of course she didn't why don't you just sit down but he did tell me to 

write the letter hey why don't you just sit down but he did tell me to write the letter to stop the intimidation and harassment he suggested list I said to 

you there's nothing wrong writing the letter the problem was the other things that you put in the letter that you know you're angry you're 

angry criminal activities like selling food stamps hey she bought them listen 

you're a liar listen to me listen to me you don't come into court Sir with 

Clean Hands neither you nor your wife you know what that means it means that you started this problem she reacted to 

it but but you started it and you started this because you did the wrong 

thing now you say that you have received death 

threats yep and you wanted me to hear I assume something on that tape 

recorder people up 

front letter you not going to get enough until we come through 

there Carol watch back does that sound like my voice 

14 prove it my voice on there right now didn't do it we are not that done we 

took it to court I wrote the letter in November this recording was made January 

the 15th doesn't matter which means everyone in the park had a copy of that 

letter uhhuh and had gone on like about the typ actually you honor I forgot about it they could have kept it I had 

another one that I was using Life Goes On on let R Miss 

wul I am presented with a really serious problem in this case each of you is 

suing the other for $5,000 you cannot prove without a voice expert because I'm certainly not voice 

GL bring my phone bill and then I'll prove it too you could have call for just a second do I look like I need help from you 

sorry you cannot prove without a voice expert that this recording as disgusting 

as it is was made by anybody standing on that side of the table I cannot prove 

that to right so what I have here is a situation where these people started a 

problem they started a problem by taking your property and not returning it clearly wrong I absolutely believe 

because she says it that she called you vicious names not she says in front of 

her daughter so that makes it okay that's not true I'm sorry could you speak please that is not true is that 

true K that is not true just a second that is not true you're not even listening I that's not 

true what's you mean that is not true I told you to sit down well I'm just I 

told you to sit down do you understand what I because this lady is not rap type 

because she doesn't understand what I said rap type that's not true put her at man'

this problem and that's what you're going to get five which Madam you are going to have to pay 

them do you understand $5 so I get her ass and I just a second just a second 

now you have a counter claim that's right and she has acknowledged that she called you names which are terrible made 

life uncomfortable made life uncomfortable as uncomfortable as you're making it for my daughter 

and you have a legitimate complaint against them so I am awarding you on 

your counter claim $5 you understand you people had better 

stop torturing each other you did the absolute wrong thing she did the wrong thing by circulating those things in 

that letter against you she did the wrong thing she acknowledges she did the wrong thing yeah she says she was angry 

she was angry because of the way you were treating her and you were treating her in a miserable way considering the 

fact that you started all the trouble over this stupid machine 

don't work see it don't work you each have a judgment for $5 against the other 

thank you very much this case is over parties I excuse you may step out yeah I have to back go to your right

ain't going to do nothing if you use condoms so I was like all right 

then Mr Allison yeah I'm going to suggest to you sir you're 20 years old 

yeah there are ways of expressing yourself in a court or in most other 

civilized locations that don't involve using four-letter words all right I'm sorry about 

that do you understand yes you go to church ever I used to go to church I 

mean would you use these words when you were talking to your priest nope because you knew enough not to do 

that right I was young too I was like so you mean you got older and Dumber no you 

mean when you were younger you were smarter why you got to be dumb well because if you were younger you said you knew not to talk to the to your priest 

and talk I didn't talk to the priest really I just went to Sunday school like for like three weeks that's 

it then he got kicked out all right you want a new radio yes give him back the 

one he gave you [Music] 

you want to keep this radio no I don't she doesn't want that radio Mr Allison that's not she wants a new 

radio and she's suing you for $120 for the new 

radio wish I could give her $120 for a new radio and give myself $500 having to 

suffer here listening to your language you have a child boy or a girl little 

girl do you visit with her well I seen her yesterday that's it though for a while 

you're going to try to be a good father yeah I'm going to school in the fall and I got a job right 

now you wouldn't watch your daughter to grow up listening to that language that you use would you no excuse me but he 

swears all the time in front of her so if he didn't want her to grow up listening to that he wouldn't do that in front of her well you're absolutely 

right Judy will continue in a moment one thing I'm really pleased about is that you 

have intention of going back to school maybe you can learn something maybe and 

later today the only way she has to check sir is if she takes you to court so this is a very foolish thing to have 

very stupid real cases real people Judge 

Judy 19-year-old Kimberly Greg claims 20-year-old Jordan Allison the father of 

for a child smashed her radio Jordan says Kimberly threw his television out 

the window so the two of you who had absolutely no business making a child made a child and neither one of you why 

don't we have any business we used to love each other because you made this child sir 

when you were 18 years old it doesn't matter I don't have enough hours in the 

day to get through to you sir but I certainly hope one thing one thing I'm really pleased about is that you have 

intention of going back to school maybe maybe just maybe you can learn something 

maybe what are you trying to say I don't know nothing 

now right right $120 for you buy yourself a new radio that's all b i 

excuse you may step out I'll P child before I see my daughter but I ain't being with her no 

more that's why you call me out all time I don't call you you're crazy you're crazy I got messages to prove it I ain't 

even going to pull his Pad but he knows what I'm talking about what and now the 

next case parties on Bosa versus Kora step forward please 29-year-old 

blackjack dealer Michelle Bassler is suing her ex-husband graphic artist Peter K 32 for not paying his share of 

their federal income taxes Peter is countersuing his ex-wife for 

harassment Miss Bley you and the defendant were married and divorced correct and pursuant to your judgment of 

divorce according to the defendant he says that you were supposed to share the marital debts is that correct yes your 

honor and then you get a statement from the Internal Revenue Service saying 

that you were both deficient in paying income tax for a year while you were 

married and they took your whole refund to satisfy that deficiency is that correct yes your 

honor and that was a joint debt yes so you say he should be responsible 

for at least half here onor um a statement came to me from the IRS stating that 11 almost $1,100 went to 

paying his Social Security his social security number not my number the only reason why I was responsible is because 

I was married to him at the time and we had filed jointly for 1994 taxes were you working in 1994 in the year that was 

fed you were not no I was not what kind of work was your husband been doing at that time he is an 

self-employed you have children together yes we do your honor how many children one how old is that child he just turned 

five so you were staying home with him when he was young yes I did so how much did they take all together they took 1, 

18930 can I see please the a judgment of divorce sure here you go 

what kind of business are you in sir uh I do graphic arts and 

printing now miss Bassler this judgment's divorce is clear 

it says that the plaintiff that's him shall be responsible for one half of 

various Community debts including sier sizes Unlimited Broadway phone company 

and IRS for 1994 taxes among other things 

defendant shall be responsible for one half of the community debts and the debt against the 

1988 Mercury this divorce judgment was in 

'95 was filed in 95 clearly this says that you're responsible for half correct 

okay that means you're responsible for half correct good we're equally responsible for half of all Community 

debts and I spent over $3,000 in 

community debt and I figured she didn't have a job when we were 

divorced and I wanted to just you know try to be fair I paid him I figured 

eventually one day down the road it'll all wash out the first penny taken from her she blows up okay so let's see 

plaintiff that's you Sears bill I'm going through each one of them let me 

see what you PID to Sears uh your honor I have a $22 check for Sears that I don't have a copy of but that was all 

that I paid $22 to Sears size is unlimited $150. 34 

$150 so I'm going to give you credit for half of that size is unlimited that was your bill yes $75 what's 

next uh Broadway total for Broadway was $1 

19886 let's make it an even 200 because I'm so poor in math is that all right with you yes half you get credit for 

$100 sir I assume you have receipts for all these things that you paid cancel checks yes your honor good so in total 

sir instead of these thousands of dollars that you're talking about you got $175 that I'm going to give you credit for cuz that's what the divorce 

decree says okay right fine in the Judgment it also stated that we were to 

share in the payment of her father's house which I paid a payment of 

$1,045 and that was the only payment made just a 

second okay both parties shall be equally responsible for the defendant that's you refinancing of her house in 

California while your father resides in the house what does that mean basically 

we borrowed money on the house and I agreed as long as her father was living there that I would share in the cost 

what do you mean you borrowed money on the house we the the house belonged originally to Michelle and her sister 

her sister basically wanted nothing to do with the loan that we needed when we moved to Las Vegas just a minute I was 

what you telling me you took out a home equity loan on the house uh yes well why don't you just say that that's something I understand very clearly you took out a 

home equity loan on her house on her house on her house on her property what' 

you all do with the money um we moved to Las Vegas together together how much 

money sir would you say you used of the home equity loan between the 

two of us all of it how much your honor I can't give you an exact give me an 

idea okay the the first loan was in the amount of 70 75,000 is correct over 40 

,000 of it went to purchase a home here in Peter's name I was not on that house I given him the money for the down 

payment we lived there and the rest of it was to pay off um Consumer Debt and 

to live because Peter didn't have a job from the time we moved to Las Vegas until shortly after we moved in October 

of 91 it wasn't until the end of January of '92 that he found employment is that right that's correct 

Judge Judy will continue in a moment $270 a month is an outrageous amount of 

child support from what apparently is an educated man like yourself in his own business right who's got money for a 

tape recorder real cases real people Judge 

Judy Michelle Bassler wants her ex-husband Peter cor to pay his share of 

their federal income taxes he wants her to stop harassing him the reason I find that interesting 

is because I read your answer sir and in your answer said you said that she didn't work that you supported the whole 

family that you worked and took care of everything she just stayed home for the most part I I I met the 

obligations I was the one earning the money to pay back the loan well how much did you pay back um we were paying 

probably around $1,000 a month but how much did you pay back we paid back at whatever the loan 

payments were until there was a balloon at the end of the loan that's what caused the refund 

how much did you pay on the loan was a 30 do and three at the end of 3 years I had a refinance Peter made one payment 

in before our divorce and the rest of the time my sister and I took care of it okay now what's all this other thousands 

of dollars for harassment Mr cor she has taken me to court for several things she 

has told the district attorney statements that were absolutely false 

and she has dragged me to court she's made me out to be a deadbeat dad I have paid every dime of my child support my 

child is my primary concern um my divorce decree says 18% of my income 

since my income fluctuates my child support payments fluctuated so she who 

did you have lawyers representing you in this divorce proceeding uh yes I did did 

you yes your honor don't you understand Madam that when somebody is self-employed you don't say I'm going to 

accept 18% of his income that brings you back and forth every single time a month 

comes due because you don't have a paycheck to look at and you have 

absolutely no way of checking and the only way she has to check sir is if she takes you to court so this is a very 

foolish thing to have in a support order 18% of your income very stupid your 

honor can I play a tape for you just a it's very critical in the um harassment charges just a second yes tell me what 

the tape is going to is going to say to me uh basically it goes with her Rambling On and On how I'm going to take 

you to District Court I'm going to take you to Family Court I'm going to keep you in court I'm going to make your life miserable so why don't you go into 

courts sir and say I want a fixed amount to pay every week we we already have that the the district attorney ordered 

me to pay 270 per month M period you know that issue is not finished he has 

to prove his income he supplied me with computer generated income taxes in family court and when we went for 

divorce I was not represented Peter went to court by listen to me listen to me I 

think that until you get the issue of support resolved there is going to be 

continued acrimony you cannot have a support order that says 18% of your income especially when you are 

self-employed so I would suggest as fast as you get as you can to get the matter 

of support resolved it has been no not according to her if it district attorney 

directs you to pay a certain amount of money sir that is not a court proceeding 

a district attorney is there as an interim advocate so he has suggested that until 

this matter is ultimately resolved you pay $270 but I'm telling you this sir if the judge after hearing this case 

determines that you in fact earn more than what you told the district attorney 

based upon several factors some of which I don't think I'm 

going to tell you now so that they might come as a surprise to 

you you must be prepared to pay more than 

the $270 a month because that doesn't probably represent 18% of your actual 

income we understand each other yes perfect Judge Judy is ready to rule 

your counter claim sir is dismissed I am youon allow me to play this one last piece of evidence no I'm not interested 

in her telling you she's going to take you to every Court in the United States including the Supreme Court of the United States $270 a month is an 

outrageous amount of child support from what apparently is an educated man like yourself in his own business right who's 

got money for a tape recorder so if she's annoyed that you 

went through clearly with her a lot of her money I could understand that shouldn't have 

to trust you I get $373 bird I get half of 

1089 right which is 54465 was what I came up with 544 go 

ahead 65 then I took away 175 and I came up with 369 65 oh that's right 369 

judgement for the plaintiff thank you very much part ey excuse you may step out 

Judge Judy will continue in a moment and on the next judge please 26- year-old 

prison guard Eric Birmingham is suing former inmate Judy ceron for liel and 

slander on the internet Judy claims he mistreated her while in 

custody order all rise quiet in the courtroom please all 

rise yeah this is case number 428 on calendar in the matter of Birmingham versus cameroni P have been sworen judge 

you may be seated sir have a seat all right the chronological posture of this case is as follows you sir are 

employed in a jail yes as a guard as a deputy yes ma'am and there came a time 

when you miss cameroni were an inmate in that jail having been convicted of some speeding violation is that correct yes 

it's correct you claim that while you were in the jail you was subjected to 

maltreatment by the plaintiff yes that's correct you complained to your husband 

is that you yes who sent faxes to the warden that's correct and as a result of 

those faxes you were further mistreated by the 

plaintiff then you served your time you got out of jail and you started to write on the internet about the plaintiff and 

about the things that you suffered from while you were in jail at his hands is that 

right yes that's correct and you're suing her for slandering you yes 

ma'am did you ever sue him no I did not you chose to take out whatever anger 

that you had by using the computer well I chose to tell my story through a 

website instead of suing civil okay how long have you been employed as 

a deputy in the jail sir um three years ma'am and what were you doing in the jail you were there for the speeding 

ticket for how long were you were you actually incarcerated I was incarcerated for three and a half months why that was 

pretty long time for speeding ticket well back in 1993 I had drove my 

Corvette at 145 mph up their freeway why would you do that 

you know it's I I realized it was wrong and I shouldn't have done it you know 

and it was a long time ago but and I know it was dangerous but the treatment 

that he put me through I'm not getting to the treatment so that's what you were there for yes now tell me about the first time you 

had a contact with him uh that was June 

6th of 1997 he was uh on night duty at the time and 

he was assigned to the tower in the walkthroughs and uh he would open and 

shut the door all night a loud metal door so I could not sleep and then when 

the sergeant came through at 8:00 a.m. and asked me while I was still sleeping I told him I couldn't sleep because of 

the loud door opening and shutting and the sergeant says I'll take care of it it won't happen again and that took care 

of that situation I started having problems again when I uh filed a habius 

with the court which was not welcome with many of the Jael staff what what kind of habius he I was being denied 

medication that my doctor had prescribed what kind of prescriptions were you supposed to be taking don't show me 

letters look at me stop playing with papers okay I was supposed to be taking uh pain 

medication and uh laox and uh what was that for it was for my depression I went 

through a court order psychiatric review and uh so you supposed to be taking 

medicine psychiatric psychiatric problems yes and then for my insomnia I was supposed to take something for that 

so you filed a habus corpus proceeding because you said that they refused to give you that medication right and were 

you ultimately given the medication after the hor habous Corpus proceedings yes what would that have to 

do with him well when I had come back from court to the jail he was the one who removed the handcuffs 

and the shackles and he was very rough and twisting my arms and he was telling me I hope it was worth it when he was 

removing the handcuffs so when was the next time you had a problem with him well after that I had constant problems 

with him tell me about and with another inmate well there was a particular inmate in there who and now are these 

things that you memorialized on your website on the internet I didn't go into detail on my website do you have what 

you complain about Sir in writing that she wrote on the internet yes man I have 

part of it yes can I see it please very the second paragraph on the 

first page is the beginning of 

it this is an accounting of life in jail and the Very unprofessional conduct of 

two deputies in particular another deputy and yourself okay towards her yes ma'am so 

so far this doesn't say anything I want to see particularly what she says about you so I can address each of those 

things would you have him put a star next to the things that he's actually complaining about so that 

I man that's that's that's kind of hard to say no I want to see sir you are 

alleging that she either libeled and or slandered you well that's what I need to 

explain ma ma'am it's it's not just what she said it's the context of my name is 

now associated with this website on the very first page of it and it it contains 

words rape Prejudice show me where that's alleged that you were any part of that sir by read by reading it ma'am the 

the nor a normal person reading that we'll see we'll get my name Conta Twisted into that and see this 

just a second she doesn't allege anywhere in here that you raped her correct no ma'am she doesn't allege 

anywhere in here that you beat her correct no ma'am it says gives her a 

gives a whole Litany of her experiences in the jail which may have included those things but with regard to you all 

it says is the fact is that Deputy Birmingham acted in an unprofessional 

manner on numerous occasions while she was in custody is that what you're saying yes ma'am 

that's what you're complaining about why is my name on the Internet this isn't a this isn't anything to do with free 

speech this isn't anything to do with with her trying to uh raise funds to go to Supreme Court or anything like that 

this is just her ill will to try to get revenge and my name doesn't belong on the first page of her 

website well you were employed at the jail when she was there right yes ma'am 

do you remember her when she was inmate oh yes ma'am tell me what you remember about her I remember um basically she 

she'd complained about everything she accused everybody of doing something wrong um she was just uh not your model 

inmate mhm and how did you and how did you react to that sir I didn't care I 

was just doing my job doing my eight hours and going home Judge Judy continues in a moment they' say things 

to me like I could make it worth for you here she could snap your little ass 

right in half real cases real people Judge 

Judy Sheriff's deputy Eric Birmingham says former inmate Judy ceron slandered 

him Judy says he mistreated her in jail Mr Birmingham you've been employed 

according to you for 3 years yes ma'am how many disciplinary proceedings have ever been filed against 

you none ma'am are you still employed there yes ma'am you want to tell 

me Madam what other the things you are specifically complaining about that he did to you tell me okay there was 

another inmate there who was the she was the lover of the jail Cook's 

daughter and she was in there for no the lover of the inmates the lover of 

the jail Cook's daughter go do this one more time she 

was the lover of the jail Cook's daughter okay okay and she was a very 

tough woman she had been incarcerated for beating up two of their sheriffs so 

she was very tough and very large and she gave me a very difficult time there 

many times she would back me into the wall and threaten to beat me up and guards would come run running to stop 

her every time she would do something bad to me and it came down to discipline 

she was not disciplined and Deputy Birmingham chose not to discipline her and many of the 

times when we had conflicts or she instigated it he would choose not to 

discipline her and it just made matters worse and I felt it was very unprofessional for him to do this what's 

next just caused her to be more bold what's next well my husband sent a fax 

to Sheriff which he had intercepted Mr Birmingham intercepted he came up to my 

cell dumped out my coffee which I had to purchase through commissary and he said he was sick and 

tired of me he had the fact in his hand and he says you better call your husband and tell him not to send any more faxes 

does that sound familiar to you no ma'am that's doesn't sound familiar to 

you no ma'am Mr Birmingham are you trying to tell me 

that a fax of complaint was never received by you indicating that you 

failed to take steps to protect this then inmate no ma'am you never saw that 

no ma'am he came into your cell with the 

facts yes he did and he dumped out my coffee and I felt that his unprofessional conduct was putting my 

safety in Jeopardy you know and he'd say things to me like I could make it worse 

for you here she could snap your little ass right in half and things like this 

when did he say that to you when he had the fax and dumped the coffee out mhm 

okay you still taking medication yes I am still the anti-depressant medication 

yes were you on that medication before you were incarcerated yes I was is this 

the first time you were incarcerated yes it was my first and only offense and I haven't committed crimes since this was 

your first and only arrest yes uhhuh did you know that frankly Ma I didn't care 

sure you did well let me tell you why I have no I have no business let me tell you why officer Birmingham here you 

dealing with a woman married woman have children 

baby and did something really dumb four years before by the time it got through 

the process only arrest he she's given over 3 months to serve in jail 

pretty frightening Prospect wouldn't you say can I add some clarification that sure okay first of all she spent um 

approximately and I'm not sure the number 20 days back in 91 or whenever 

she was first arrested um she was committed after a trial and then got out 

on appeal Bond so she had spent 20 to 30 days there already so you knew a little 

bit about her history of mhm I now I do now I do yes ma'am oh sir are you 

telling me at the time that you that you folks were having according to you lots of difficulty with her with her husband 

faxing and everything else that you didn't open up the file and take a look at it are you try I I knew what she was 

there for yes ma'am here was an inmate who was given lots of problems who was not prepared to accept the regular drill 

of being in jail right yes ma'am right and that presented 

a certain amount of irritation for the for all the people in jail now 

how many guards are there in jail it depends on the shift in the day give me some idea of how many people she would 

have come in contact with between all the shifts um four to five a shift to a small jail four to five a shift and 

three shifts a day yes ma'am so 20 people give her say she doesn't complain about all 

20 right yes ma'am she only complains about really two right 

mhm why do you think that is I don't know ma'am if she had such a problem with me then why didn't she F complain 

with my department you're she did she complained through him she complained sent a facts I believe her when she say 

you w when she says that she walked into her jail cell with the facts irritated as hell I believe her she doesn't accuse 

you of any criminal Behavior she says that you were guilty of unprofessional 

behavior that's a subjective term Judge Judy continues in a 

moment I could pick up the phone it's only 2:00 and save my little baby 600 m round 

trip and that she wouldn't see 

me real cases real people Judge Judy prison guard Eric Birmingham says 

former inmate Judy ceron has damaged his reputation on the internet she says he 

mistreated her certainly what she's saying is you failed to protect her from 

another inmate who was dangerous and that what you were really 

telling her was listen babe you better just do your time quietly stop complaining stop making a pest out of 

yourself CU if you do there are things that we could do to make your life unpleasant is that what you're 

complaining about yes and he also what he did was the worst thing that he did was 

he did a walk through and he told me when I was watching the news sitting on a bunk stand up don't sit on the bunk I 

sat on the ground he says don't sit on the ground remain standing so I remain standing and then he continued the walk 

through upstairs and left and I had laughed at a a sexual remark that another inmate had made towards him 

which is not allowed but he did not discipline her for it because he welcomes these kind of remarks and I had 

laughed I've got dizzy I sat down and I got back up and I knew I shouldn't have sat down on the bunk so when he 

came back around the front door I was standing right by the phone and he says I'm putting you in lockdown and tomorrow 

you cannot see your baby so I told him look I'm standing right by the phone I 

could pick up the phone it's only 2:00 and save my little baby the 600m 

round trip and that she wouldn't see me he says I don't care and I says well then 

you can have some someone else call my husband not to make the trip he would not do that but you see here's a 

disciplinary action he wrote up and then he also took away my visiting privileges for two weeks and that's all I had left 

and why did you take away a visiting privileges I did not take the physi in away what did you do it's a dis review 

board what did you write her up for if I remember the incident we had an extra uh 

bunk out in the day room area and the rules they don't use anything that's 

it's not intended for okay and she was sitting on the bunk watching TV and like I told other people or whatever and told 

her to sit down over on the tables but I have no extent I have no say on whether 

she loses visits or not that's dis my question what this incident that you were talking about that you wrote that 

you wrote her up for I believe so yes ma' you wrote her up for was because she was sitting on a spare bunk rather than 

sitting on the table is that right yes ma'am okay is designed to have rules and 

to have structure and that's now did you know offic of Birmingham that she was supposed to have her visiting with her 

baby on the next day no ma' does that sound familiar to you no ma'am don't have the only time they can make the 

only time they can make visits visits appointments for visits is on the day of the visit so I would have no say or no 

uh knowledge of are you telling me sir that she did not say to you if you if 

you're going to take away my visits let me call my husband tell him not to make this 600 mile trip she that doesn't 

sound familiar to you no ma'am I don't know you don't know you don't know if it sounds familiar is that what you're saying I I don't remember hearing that 

no Judge Judy continues in a 

moment look I'm going to resolve this matter very quickly officer Birmingham you are in 

fact suing her you are suing her for slander for saying terrible things about you on the internet on the website I 

don't find that she said anything that was terrible about you she said that you engaged in unprofessional conduct 

towards her while she was an inmate in the jail if I have to make a determination today whether or not any 

of that is true I would have to say yes I believe that you behaved in an unprofessional manner towards the 

defendant who was an inmate in your jail and therefore your lawsuit would be dismissed because truth is an absolute 

defense I believe her sir when she says that 

you took her handcuffs off in a rough fashion that you came into her room with a fax in your hand spilled her coffee 

and said listen don't do this again cuz I can make in effect can make your life 

unpleasant here and I do believe that you wrote her up for sitting on a bed rather than sitting on a table which 

caused her to lose her visitation privileges with her child and when asked whether you would please just call her 

husband not to make the trip because the trip would be for not she was blown off that to me sir is unprofessional 

behavior so your lawsuit's dismissed that's all thank I excuse you may step 

out thanks man Judge Judy continues in a moment right and on the next Judge Judy 

so first would you mind telling me why you gave him $3,000 I gave him the 

$3,000 to um go it wasn't $3,000 it want 

to get to you that's correct actually I loaned the defendant 

$2,500 um for him to purchase a 1995 Honda Civic um Upon returning it to me 

he agreed to pay an additional $500 um so in a sense it would be $3,000 

that he returned to me what was the $500 for um it would have been to apply 

toward um was into your owner yes that's correct it was interest 

that's a lot of interest over how long a period was he supposed to pay you back it was going to be over a 3- week period 

$500 interest for 3 week are you a lone shark no no ma'am um he was planning to 

fix the car and then sell it and um just a second would you do me a favor 

you're irritating me it's not a good idea to start off by irritating the person who's supposed to decide your case mhm 

all right let me cut to the Chase from what I gather from what you started to tell me before you were rudely interrupted the $500 is because he was 

going to buy this truck fix it up sell it for a profit you wanted a piece of the profit that's a part of it um he 

actually had a truck before that he was um going to sell and he was going to 

give me the the proceeds from the the truck that he was selling well it's all getting very complicated all I all I 

want to know is as follows okay did you in fact take take out 

$2500 and give it to him yes I did why because he was having some financial 

difficulties and was he a friend of yours yes was he a boyfriend of 

yours yes was he your only boyfriend yes now you did in fact sir 

borrow this money from her yes I did your honor why did you borrow money from the lady she sort of offered to sort of 

make uh alleviate my problems by having to go to a bank and uh you know pull out 

the money and from a savings account to a checkin account and what I done was like uh I just she said that you can 

just borrow the money because we banked at the same bank and she could I could pay her in due time cuz I need to buy 

some parts so what you're telling me is it was too much trouble for you to take the money out of your savings account 

right and put it in your checking account I had to take a day off from work that's why I was your 

honor getting better all the time all right so you borrowed money from your girlfriend she she actually I you just 

say yes or no so you borrowed money from your girlfriend yes I did all right now she says you didn't pay her 

back right yes did you ask him for the money back 

many times ma'am after what period of time did you two break up it was about 

the time that I started asking for the money back how long after the Lo 

um about 2 months after you were supposed to pay her the money back in 3 

weeks right right but you didn't pay back in 3 weeks I have what 

you call record showing that uh on the day that I sold my truck she got her money well show me that I'm really 

interested in that and this case can be over very quickly 

this doesn't say she got her money she had a pigstick collateral your honor for what do you call it for the money that I 

borrowed okay what collateral are you talking about just one second this is for a 1990 Nissan right and this is the 

truck that you're talking about so what you're saying to me is as collateral for the loan that she made to you $2500 loan 

right you gave her the pink slip for this truck right ma'am and what you're saying to me is you sold this truck to 

this man right and you couldn't have sold it without the pink slip right so she had to give you the pink slip back 

right they all all just a second all the parties were there that Sunday when the guy came to 

pick up the truck were you ever there on a Sunday no I was not there on Sunday I don't know what man he is Mr Sagan is 

referring to she didn't get a chance to meet him he was outside and what happened was like she was inside the 

house I had to get the what do you call the paperwork in order for me to what you call do the transaction so I can get 

the money so that's when you know he wanted to get a his pink slip so he can render the money to me so I I I took the 

pink slip outside and I just came right back inside the house gave her the money that was did you have the pink slip for his truck I never received any pink slip 

nope oh my God okay did this man ever see the 

plaintiff were they ever in the same place at the same time they only the only thing was there was just between 

here and there she was in my room and the gentleman was outside he wasn't like Superman he couldn't see through the 

Kryptonite right no sir yes I don't believe 

you I think you're full of it Judge Judy will continue in a moment she's angry at 

me because I told her that I don't want to see her no more that's all it's all about that's all it's not all about the money I hate to say this to you sir look 

at you and look at her and later to say I've helped her out your honor have 

she's asked me to buy diapers diapers she's I have baby sa for her baby sack 

I've did whatever I could for her my C no 

no real cases real people Judge Judy Jennifer Barry wants her 

ex-boyfriend auto body shop manager Paul cican to repay the money she gave him 

for a car now there some reason why you didn't give her back this money cuz you didn't give her back this money she got 

her money oh no she didn't why do you think she's here let me ask a question sir why do you think she's here if she 

got back her money she's angry at me because I told her that I don't want to see her no more that's all it's all about that's all it's not all about the 

money I hate to say this to you sir look at you and look at 

her why do you think she would be angry if you said you didn't want to see her anymore I can't read her mind you 

honor I believe you when you say you didn't get your money money back I am not giving you the 

$500 interest it's successive do you understand yes yeah but I am giving you 

$2,500 I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth that's all I as I excuse you may step 

[Music] out back though to your right pleas something like this has 

really made things difficult for me to be with him just usually when I have a relationship with somebody I don't like 

to have signed documents you know knocking at my door why did you put a bugging device in her 

house sir because I had suspicion of people walking around the 

house and I I did see them they walk into my living room I see she's not 

complaining that the bugging device sir was in your living room but that you put it where she lives yes I could hear it I 

can't hear back there if I think I could hear something in the side of the house 

I want to know because it's my house because I I I heard I heard people 

around there before how did you come to rent this 

part of the house from him I'd known him previously um and the Tenant that lived 

there before and she had moved out and he made me aware that it was available and I was how did you know him 

originally Back 2 three years ago in the paper I was looking for a room to rent in the area and I never did get the room 

to rent from him and when this apartment came available able 

he in the two or three years had you seen him oh yeah do you go to the same bars do you go to the same Hangouts to 

you stay no we had been friends though you had been friends right after you 

came to look at this room that you didn't rent well no I never got the opportunity to rent it I was living with 

a boyfriend then I came back to Mr saa's residence and he as as a friend he 

allowed me to stay there in the living room until the apartment in the back became available and then I moved in the 

in the back apartment now what's all this about people coming in and out of your apartment I was in a 7-month 

relationship it wasn't different men nothing of that sort but it was a problem relationship it was and police 

came to your house yes because he was at my window and he also attacked me in the front yard they were at on Mr saa's 

Residence at his property twice so he got nervous about that how old are you sir I'm 77 I lived there 42 years I 

didn't call the cops but what one time she had the cops over there three times 

yeah she said she did she didn't have a nice boyfriend he he got in jail he's out you know what he's talking about the 

point is you know what that's a self-contained apartment in the back and he locked both doors so that I no longer 

had my private entry around the side of the house the previous tenant did have a 

private entry now he decides that he's going to lock those two because I can't 

can't have my boyfriend over or my friends Miss Garland he's making me he's making me walk through the main house 

and put trespassing signs Miss Carlin listen to me I'm not excusing and I know 

that he's excitable I'm not excusing his bugging your apartment but you have to 

admit that based upon what you told me he was very nice to you he let you come stay in his house listen he was very let 

you come stay in his house wait until the apartment became available right 

right and you don't think that you would have had any problem with him if you didn't have all this problem with your boyfriend um I disagree I I think he's a 

very perverted individual what makes you think he's perverted I know his um 

ladies that come over on a regular basis um he has a library video of 

adult um in his room he's got makeshift toys that I've never seen before um I 

can't tell you what I found when I went into that room I originally on the 

receiver unit I cut the black wire so that I didn't know there was an off and on switch on the monitor but only was 

not only a an audio unit but a video unit here he repaired the black wire and 

then I went in the next morning cut the red wire it's not until he repaired the unit to listen that I confiscated it and 

when he found when I gave him pictures that I took he clipped the wire from the garage coming through my bedroom wall so 

I was able to pull out the this big 

monitor it was very devastating to hear what going on and everything in my 

place what I'm asking you is is this was this a video unit as well 

as an audio unit an audio unit just audio sir did you tell her that you were bugging her unit what did you tell her 

no that you were bugging her unit no well you can't do this sir I know that 

well you can't do it that's an invasion of her privacy he took the time to drill a hole through a garage wall to meet up 

into my bedroom wall above my here just a second did you drill a hole to get 

into her so that you could monitor what was going on in hered no that was in there before she even moved in there I 

agree with that did you monitor her bedroom activities yes oh and everybody 

else that's rented prior to him I believe that oh sir I don't think you ought to rent 

apartments anymore sir you can't do that it's against the law 

sir Judge Judy continues in a moment he has 100 adult videos makeshift toys in 

his room it's very disgusting I mean if you'd seen what I'd seen and later today that the dogs seem to like each 

other yes yeah Mom was ready for it you have the mail dog right yeah it's 

usually the case yeah real cases real people Judge Judy 

Lori Garland says her landlord Peter schala placed a bug in her bedroom he 

says she had too many gentlemen callers sir listen to me are you on Social 

Security yes sir yes ma'am is that the way you support yourself or do you have other sources of income that's the only 

thing okay is that enough to keep your house and to keep you not necessarily just I would say a break even you break 

even with your Social Security yeah I think sir your age if you can avoid 

renting this house that you have behind you you should avoid it do you understand because this kind of activity 

you cannot be involved with you cannot rent a house to 

someone and then no sir I know you're raising your hand and you're going to tell me that there were people that 

shouldn't have been there you cannot invade someone's privacy by putting 

listening devices into their home period end of discussion may I add something 

just a second no add nothing do you owe him any rent no I don't did you what day 

of the month did you leave uh I haven't left yet I'm planning to move in March so you haven't left right did you pay 

him February's rent no I haven't paid him since November why because I got um 

the police station and I talked to an attorney and just a second he doesn't 

have a renters permit I called housing authority and when they let me know he had assured me when I moved in there after the Last Tenant problem that he 

had with also that he had gotten whatever obtained a rent's permit from building and safety to rent the 

apartment and come to find out he has not miss Garland you didn't pay him rent since 

November right is that correct right how much was the rent it's 65 a week do the 

65 * 4.3 will you please burd may I add also he's been going through my trash I 

found this in his room move Madam you don't stay there and complain it always irritated me when people stood up there 

and said I can't stand my landlord he does this he does that he does and he stays there so I'm going to do I'm going to live there right and I'm not going to 

pay right that's outrageous right 

3,967 now sir she's suing you $5,000 for an invasion of her privacy right and 

she's entitled to that money because what you did was outrageous however hug conduct to me is also not with clean 

hands because she comes to court having not paid you rent what live there without the 

listening devices since November and you haven't seen any money from your property so I am deducting the rent that 

she was supposed to have paid you from her requested judgment and I am awarding you madam $ 

3,967 and I'm doing that based upon your statement that you are moving March 1 

now are you moving March 1st yes I am where are you moving to yes I am uh

you and now the next case bodies on Alou versus Harris step forward please 

35-year-old customer service agent Tracy Alou says guitar shop owner Jordan 

Harris kept the stud service fee after their dogs failed to successfully 

mate you were trying to find a suitable mate for your Pitbull that's 

correct and rather than according to your papers and I'm editorializing a 

little bit rather than putting an ad in the personal column you went to the park that's correct where you found this gentleman 

who had a pitbull yes did the dog seem to like each 

other yes yeah Mom was ready for it you you have the mail dog right yeah 

that's usually the case yeah she decided hers was ready yeah 

right from you knew yours was ready mhm mine's always 

ready that's usually the case okay so you made this financial 

Arrangement where you were going to charge her a stud fee uhhuh I mean if 

he's always ready you could have given it away for nothing if you really loved him right well but you decided that a 

stud fee was appropriate right so $200 was what you arranged and at the 

appropriate time you took your lady to his house no we first came to my house 

for about an hour or so and it they were was sort of 

according yes there's only only one funny person here sir 

okay oh okay got it all right Judge Judy continues in a 

moment I didn't care whether the dog had or not to to made another dog so I took 

the dog you know just trying to give it a proper home cuz I have a good 

heart real cases real people Judge Judy 35-year-old customer service agent 

Tracy Alo says guitar shop owner Jordan Harris kept the stud service fee after 

their dogs failed to successfully mate in any event to make a long story 

short you took your dog over to his house for an overnight yes see and the 

dogs did in fact have a liaz on sure right yeah careful careful remember what 

I told you all right remember what I told you yes but she waited and waited and waited 

and waited and nothing happened which meant that it didn't take there were no puppies correct so you want your money 

back that's it that's it now you didn't have a written contract with each other right yes we did yeah you had a written 

contract yes we did let me see it I don't have it with me your honor I moved and it got dislocated someplace what 

would the written contract say it you have your copy what's that I only gave her it was on a a napkin so a napkin 

listen this is California they do napkins all the time here that's right 

huh love to do napkins all right so what did it say on the napkin it said um that 

I'll get the dog pregnant and if I don't that uh she gets her $200 back but you 

know just a second I don't think he understands the drill here I think so 

Jud it didn't say but it says she gets her $200 back okay that what it said yes 

good and your position is you were willing to have another overnight yes instead of giving her the $200 well what 

I told her on the phone was that she has to leave the dog over for at least three you know at least two or three nights so 

they could hit it a couple times can I ask you a question sir 

sure Ser I mean this is a almost serious question have you ever used your dog for 

before yeah from my friends who have pit bulls yeah and did they were did those 

result in successful litters uh-huh so you knew you had what they call in the trade appr proven stud 

yeah but maybe there's something wrong with the with with her lady could be very possible right and your contract 

said if it didn't take she gets her $200 back that's what the contract said but 

not by you know word of mouth I told told her that she had to leave the dog over and when I called her back one 

night well I don't know if you want me to get into that part of the story yet well this the case is almost over sir so 

if you have something to say you better get it out now well all right what had happened was I came home from work and 

she had gone in my backyard without me even being there or anybody being there and taking the dog home we had talked 

and made arrangements to meet at 6:00 this I don't remember you didn't show up no don't talk to him talk to me by 6:30 

he was there the dog was there overnight correct all right and he admitted that they had connected she's is there any 

particular reason why you want to have puppies with this Pitbull you want to see the pit bull what no I don't he's 

it's a nice looking dog no but why do you want because I want another dog plus I want to be able to sell the pups and 

make some money okay well can I make a suggestion to you do you have papers for your dog no oh you don't have papers for 

your dog well that's a problem that's a problem and you don't care who your dog made you have papers for your dog no see 

because I would be charging a lot more for my dog because he has a brother that gets with papers a th000 bucks a stud 

fee well it's interesting why why doesn't your dog have papers because I got it from a person who uh wasn't 

taking care of the dog and I told the people that I take it off their hands and give it a proper home and really take care of it but why didn't they give 

you the papers they didn't have papers to begin with he owned um some kind of uh wild animal just a minute you just 

told me that your dog's brother gets $1,000 for stud so if your dog's brother gets $1,000 for stud they the litter 

must have been a registered litter you see I know a little bit about that so if you have a registered litter that means all the puppies in the litter are 

registered which means they can all get papers unless you have taken a puppy with the promise that the puppy would 

not be used for stud come again no okay uh anyhow did 

you understand what I said first I heard every word Judge Judy continues in a 

moment did you just tell me that your dog has a brother has a brother yes a 

sister and a mother but the brother is a proven stud and the brother gets $1,000 

for stud service didn't you just tell me that correct so I'm telling you that if the brother uhuh has papers yeah one dog 

in a litter doesn't get papers sir an entire litter is registered with the American kennall Club which means all 

the dogs in that litter get paid papers okay right do you understand that so 

where understand that I didn't get papers though oh yes you just told me that I told you that I didn't get it and 

I just took the dog off their hands this wasn't a puppy when I got it okay now I got the dog and I told him i' give him a 

proper home for it I didn't ask for papers CU I didn't even know if I'd do this I didn't care whether the dog had 

or not to to make another dog so I took the dog you know just trying to give it a proper home cuz I have a good heart 

for you know good so your good heart you're going to give her back her $200 judgments is for the planted for $200 

that's all I I excuse you may step out Judge Judy continues in a moment and 

on the next Jud 17-year-old student Amanda armas says classmate Regina kamacho also 17 attacked her Amanda is 

suing Regina for $5,000 order all 

rise quiet in the courtroom please 

yeah this is case number 455 on the calendar in the matter of armis versus kamacho parti warning judge you may be 

seated ladies have seats this suit has to do with an assault that's correct and damages that 

you are asking for yes for an assault that occurred about two years ago yes 

that's correct you were both in high school at the time is that right yes did 

you know each other in high school uh yes we did so there was a of 

gossiping that's what this all started about yes ma'am and you went to her house yes Ma'am why don't you tell me 

why there's just been a lot of a lot of hatred between me and Amanda 

and it just got to the point where it needed to be stopped whether I mean not stopped like what it happened but we 

needed to talk about it and what came out of it was a 

fight that's all very soft why was there a lot of 

hatred just gossip just talking trash about each other like 

what just basically she she would tell someone that she didn't like me or that you on I never told 

any you mean she told people she didn't like you and vice versa I mean I did the same about her we just didn't we didn't 

like each other since like the eighth grade good so you didn't like each other what caused you 

to get in a car and go to her house on Halloween we were out trick-or-treating 

and it was a bunch of us and we started like joking about it like joking about what going to Amanda's house and 

confronting her and we ended up doing that we ended up going to her house she came outside and that we started talking 

about we started arguing back and forth well just a minute did you knock at the door did how did she come outside um two 

of my friends called her outside she came outside mhm she by herself no 

she was with a friend she was with one friend yes and how many friends were you with um quite a few I couldn't tell you 

exactly and how did you get close enough to her to get physical well my witness 

um confronted her first and just said that we needed to talk about a couple things we needed to talk that me and her 

me and Amanda needed to talk about a couple things because of all the problems that we had between each other and then what happened and then I 

I went out there and I started we started arguing back and forth what do you mean you started arguing let's hear 

about I start I I asked her about the things that she was telling people that she didn't like you 

right and what did she say to you she just she denied everything so what was 

next and we just continue to argue back and forth and then someone pushed her into me and that's when we began to 

fight someone that you were with yes ma'am and then you hit her yes ma'am 

you can't do that you think that you were right no I 

don't justify that but I mean there's there's only so much you can take from 

anybody so far I didn't hear anything terrible I didn't hear anything terrible 

when when people are talking about you it it tends to get on your nerves and get used to it people aren't always 

going to say oh she's lovely Miss kamacho she's lovely she's sweet I like her she's the best thing in the world 

since you know apple pie they're not going to say that all the time there's people there's people that are going to talk about yes but when they constantly 

do it it's yeah it's going to bother you so it bothers you it bothers 

you there were lots of things that bother 

bird how are you injured um I was um diagnosed with the 

Mal alignment in my back and and um I had a black eye MH excuse me the black 

eyy yeah I can I can take that but I'm not the one that kicked you in the back I'm not the one that sent you to the 

chiropractor who did um someone that was with me which and later on became her 

friend but somebody that you brought there kicked her in the back mhm right 

yes ma'am how many times were you either kicked or punched um I don't remember everything 

went so fast your honor but I remember it was repeatedly if you'd like I I have x-rays 

here and also x-rays if I could read X-rays I wouldn't be here I also have um pictures pictures I 

can read you don't want to say anything yes 

I do oh 

God she wants to say something I think it's a good idea J A please why don't 

you step up here tell me who you are I'm Regina's friend Valeria Barka I was there at the time when they fought to 

what do you have to contribute to this case Madam that she did not kick her in the back I was there I grabbed the girl 

off for her and I was the one who broke them up are you wonderful sit 

down Judge Judy will continue in a moment no my daughter she doesn't lie to me she is very honest with me I've 

taught her that your daughter came home and told you exactly what happened that night Miss kamacho because the police 

were involved and later today on the way up there she stopped at a liquor store and all three of us were drinking up 

there but you're supposed to be the designated driver not the designated drunk 

driver real cases real people Judge Judy high school student Amanda armas is 

suing another student Regina kamacho for assault is this your daughter 

could you step up here please what did you do to her after she 

did this when she came home to tell me that she had done this I I I restricted 

her I recommended her I I what did you mean you restricted her I restricted her for a month from going out having any 

social activities and I told her it was wrong for her to have gone to this girl's house to do what she did at the 

time that she did what she did it was at the spur the moment she was wasn't thinking when she came home she 

understood it was wrong and she came home and told you about it yes she told me right away soon as she got home that night did her mother call you her mother 

did not call me I I had no contact from them until later when the police tried to contact us they never did call us 

again but I was more than willing to settle anything that they wanted that's not true because I never heard from you 

just I would I'm curious to find out what happened with the police could you step up here you're her mom yes did you 

report this matter to the police yes ma'am right away what happened to with the police cuz this was very fuz in the complaint okay uh when the police came 

the police had stopped them already once but they didn't know what had happened yet so when they came to my house they 

told us and we uh described them to the police and they said oh well we just stopped them they were running we 

stopped them and asked them why they were running they oh somebody scared us right well why wasn't this complaint 

ever followed up it was by the police it it there is a police report but she was 

never arrested no said that they contacted um her father and her father said that she had left Las Vegas and got 

married that is not true I mean that was very strange to me why the police never followed up on this assault they 

certainly should have that doesn't necessarily mean she's got to go to jail for 7 and a half to 15 but exactly it 

certainly means that there should be some indication that this is the kind of activity she's involved with because I'm looking at the smirk on her face right 

and it's irritating so Mrs kamacho they're suing for damages 

now your daughter looks like perfectly healthy young woman which means that she goes to school that she should get a part-time job in the afternoon in order 

to pay these damages she is working your own good then she's going to pay for damages because she's responsible for 

the injuries to this young lady but she is going yes you want to say something but her depression and her withdrawal 

from school being afraid to go to school because she was constantly harassed to 

where she up to this day doesn't go to miss armas your mom says that you withdrew from school school yes is that 

after this attack yes it was why did you withdraw from school because everywhere I walked down the hallways they were 

always teasing me always telling me things or harassing her harassing me who 

was her friends and her oh EXC me just a second like what um asking me what I'm 

doing next Halloween asking me how my eye was asking me if my back was okay very but in a smky yeah sarcastic 

way so you dropped out of school yes you you didn't drop out you changed schools went independent 

study how had your grades been before I was an honoral student I have been my 

whole life what your honor I don't I I don't believe that my daughter still continue to harass her because the 

harass she harassed W I know I wasn't there but I know my daughter she doesn't lie to me she is very honest with me 

I've taught her that your daughter came home and told you exactly what happened that night Miss kamacho because the 

police were involved if the police had not been involved your daughter would have told you 

nothing and there isn't a question in my mind that after this incident was over they continued to make her life 

miserable when she was in school she and her friends but she started it which means 

they destroyed what sounds to me is was very successful career in high school because 

socially if you're taunted when you're in high school and if it's uncomfortable you just don't want to go back so your daughter's going to pay for that 

and you're going to pay for it if you're smart you'll make your daughter make up the money but they're suing for $5,000 

and I'm giving it to them judgment is for the plaintiff in the amount of $5,000 thank you your honor parties are excused you may step 

out back up to your right please and now the next case part's on Eastwood versus 

Orosco step forward please 18-year-old Maria Eastwood is suing her friend 

20-year-old Sylvia Orosco for Wrecking her car after a night of 

drinking Miss Eastwood you and the defendant according to your complaint were out for an 

evening doing a little drinking partying bar hopping is that right correct she 

was the designated driver yes and she wrecked your car 

yes you want her to pay for the damage yes I do MH she say she gave you some 

money did you give her some money yes I have receipts right here how much did she give you 600 actually 

it's 750 because um Carissa my witness right here she's she was there that night and um we um she paid for the 

impound because the car got impounded and it was 175 or something like that and I gave Carissa 150 so that went 

towards her car too so it's 750 excuse me talking about for the damage to the car you gave us $600 for the damage mhm 

correct plus the I don't want to bring Chris up here you look as if you're freezing Miss Chris 

huh did you know you were coming to court today chissa hey you think that 

that's an appropriate outfit to wear to court um yes did your dress split or is that the way you put it on this morning 

that's the way it is you better just sit right where you are Judge Judy will continue in a moment if you're going out 

with girlfriends and you're going to act like morons and drink right take a 

care take a care 

real cases real people Judge Judy Maria Eastwood wants her friend 

Sylvia arasco to pay damages for her crashed car after a night of drinking 

now how much was the car to be fixed the total damage ronner was 

$257 I have every estimate everything that's been paid towards the car I have 

pictures um my statement the police report the impound everything that you can need is all there now you want to 

explain to me why you think you're not responsible for all the damage to this car because I was doing a favor as to 

her because she got drunk and then when they told me to go get the car I went to go get the car they left they took a 

taxi cab somewhere else I waited for half an hour in the area thinking that they would call me they never did so I 

drove her car all the way back to Carissa's house and then from there finally that got a page and that's when 

I drove to get her cuz she ended up going home with some guy so I I went to go pick her up and that's when I got in 

the accident I was trying to get her because she was drunk she was throwing up on tell me about the accident the 

accident was um I was driving on 880 the freeway and I was turning on to 101 and 

there was a car in front of me and she ran out of gas and it was raining really hard so when I pressed on the banks it 

kept I just kept going so you were going too fast to stop I actually the I was only going 15 

you hit the other car in the rear yeah so it was your fault excuse me so yeah it was F I believe that um Sylvia did 

tell me the next day that she was driving a little um too fast but I have no proof to that documentation doesn't 

make any difference she damaged your car now you what kind of car was this a 91 GE storm 91 Geo mm correct did you buy 

it new no it's secondhand but and how much did you pay for it 

5500 how many estimates did you get um I only have one estimate listed 

in there which is the body work is your car currently being fixed body work no I don't have the money to pay for the body 

work I what did you do with the $600 she gave you oh she paid me four installments of 

$150 and that went towards the amount paid to fix the engine she when she 

wrecked the car she wreck the front end clearly there's a lot of damage to this car yeah the estimate that she got for 

$2,500 is not outrageous considering the kind of damage that there that you did to this 

yeah but I mean she only she gave me the one um estimate from the body work which was was $630 and she never gave me anything else 

after that so I mean how do I how I know yeah she told me but how do I know things happened gradually I thought when 

the car first broke down it was towed to a shop all I don't want to go into it listen yeah it's a long story but if she 

was g money she was going to pay meone she should have asked your honor she should have asked for proof she should 

have went I offered I asked you proof you said you were going to bring it to be quiet please I'm really tired 

$2,500 based upon what I see you you when you come to court you should have three estimates not just one I'm sorry 

do you understand this is my first time in court how long ago did this happen the no November 22 23rd were you 

pretty drunk that night um right here I drunk too much past my limit how old are 

you liit 19 how old were you then 18 

you didn't drink at all I had some during when we first left on the way up 

there she stopped at a liquor store and all three of us were drinking up there but you're supposed to be the designated driver not the designated drunk driver I 

wasn't drunk how old are you I'm 20 and how old were you then 

20 let me tell you something there is nothing less feminine less attractive 

active than a young woman drunk 

nothing nothing that I could think of right away anyway sure there are things that less attractive of course it slits 

up until your Naval is pretty unattractive in court in any event you were supposed to 

be the designated driver MH you didn't do the right thing you were certainly older than she was by a couple I was 

doing the right thing no you weren't if you're the designated driver you're not supposed to have any alcohol designated 

driver is the person who's not supposed to drink any alcohol I wasn't going to be the ne driver because I don't I have a restricted license I knew I couldn't 

drive I never said to her yes I'll be your designated driver she just kept saying she wanted me to drive J $2,500 

she gave you $600 that leaves $1900 now I want to tell you something I 

think that because you own a car at age 18 you have a certain responsibility and 

one of the responsible things that you have to do as a car owner is to make 

sure that the car is not used in an irresponsible way and the only way you can do that Madam is if you're not drunk 

if you want to drink take a taxi cab you used your car what I took the responsible action 

and I decid if I'm going to drink I'm not going to drive I think that's a responsible decision in my age there are 

55 year-old olds that go out and drink and still attempt to drive I I knew if I'm going to drink tonight I'm not going 

she knew I had a restricted license why she put it up me excuse me I did not know if I did I wouldn't have Judge Judy 

is ready to 

rule you also gave her $150 is that right to get the car out of impound M no 

I'm going to give you credit for that your honor me that's included in the 600 no it's 750 you gave me four payments I 

gave gave you four payments I paid Karissa 150 for the inpound cuz Carissa paid for the inpound so that's a total 

of 750 just a second but you had to get your car out of the pound didn't you that's fine you had to get your car out 

of the pound in total if I were to find that she was responsible for the entire 

amount she would have to give you $1,750 but I find that you were at least 

partially responsible for going out getting drunk as a skunk so that you couldn't drive your own car so I'm going to give you $1,500 judg is for the plane 

in the amount of $1,500 that's all parties I excuse

you
