collection yeah case number 229 on the calendar in the matter of all guia versus palazola I have been sworn in 

judge you may be seated folks have seats Miss guy are you and the defendant had a relationship and lived together 

according to what I read for a few months yes you became pregnant had a fight and you were escorted Away by the 

police it is your claim that the defendant kept some of your property yes 

ma'am and you also think that he emotionally disturbed you 

yes he suing him for money because you were saddened by the fact that you had 

this baby and he's not sure if it's his and hasn't had any contact with the baby so you're sad I don't know if you get 

money for that but we'll find out Mr palazola says that sometime prior to 

this major fight when you finally were escorted out by the police you had destroyed his favorite magazine 

collection by pouring something on it is that right she spray painted them and threw them away and that since he's 

remarried you have embarked on a campaign of harassment for which he wants to to be reimbursed his harassment 

he only wants $400 for so it couldn't be that terrible okay when did you live together 

start and finish he signed the lease on I believe it was May 24th and I moved 

out on the 28 of August of 2002 when did you move in with him was that on the 

24th of May no I moved in with him about 3 weeks prior to that at his mother's house so the beginning of May August 

28th is when the police escorted you out yes okay what items do you claim you 

left behind when you were escorted out by the police I have a list do you want a list is it a very long list no it's 

not very long and this is August 28th of 2002 

yes what took you so long to get to court being a single parent is pretty difficult we're talking a year later 

madam what took you so long to get to court well it took me a while to get all of my things in order look just showed 

this to defend 

please all right now I've seen what kind of items you're talking about I'll take the list backward we're talking about 

two oven mitts a calander for spaghetti we're talking about a cutlery tray a 

blue green tumbler a toilet bowl brush four ice cube trays two plates two bowls 

two washcloths so let's get to what Happ happened on the 28th of August when you 

were escorted out I found out I was pregnant and everything just started going downhill after that in the 

relationship and he was working major hours at work well working and one night 

I asked him if he was cheating on me and he was like you're crazy and that was the night prior to the 28th and we got 

in a big fight that night the next day we were fighting fighting fighting all day later that night he was picking me 

up to throw me out of our apartment when I was was 2 and a/2 months pregnant and did you did you scratch him first no I 

scratched him to put me down when he was Pi literally picking me up to throw me out of our apartment and then I went to 

the store with our roommate and he called the police and when we got back the police were there and they arrested me they arrested you because they saw 

evidence that you had assaulted him that I scratched him yes but I also had a bruise on my leg but they told me that I 

could talk to the judge about that did you plead guilty to assaulting him I PL guilty but then whenever I went for my 

actual court date they told me that I would get a lesser sentence if I was to plead guilty so yes I pled guilty in the 

end when you were escorted out by the police did you have an opportunity to get your clothes no when did you come 

back for your clothes I never did because he had gotten a restraining order so my father and my brother went 

over there to get my things and he had already packed them up and I had a list for him and they asked him about the 

other things and he said that he got rid of them this is not a lot of stuff Madam this is a lot ofu this this is nonsense 

stuff it's ridiculous did he ever sue you for the assault no call it even now 

let's get to the counter claim okay uh look at there fast to start your honor 

uh we had to move out of my mother's house because she made it so difficult uh she couldn't keep a job uh so 

therefore all these items that she's bought pretty much came out of my wallet other there's are already took care of 

that I'm talking about your counter claim pay attention we're over that the night before the police came out she 

wanted to fight and she wanted to do it in front of my roommate which is out in the living room that is when I picked her up there was no picking up the day 

after I picked her up carried her into the room so we could talk because she likes to have a show and she likes to 

fight in front of people she can't do it between me and her so the next day me and my roommate we went out came back I 

looked out on a window ledge a magazine of mine was spray painted and I asked her you know where is everything thing 

and she told me she spray painted them threw them away at this point I was a little upset the police were called out 

they were called out three times that day first two times they what day are you talking about the 27th of August of 

August so the day before no no I'm sorry it was the 208th what day did you spray paint his 

magazines I didn't spray paint his what you do to the magazine I spray painted one magazine and what' you do with it it 

was on the window sill when what date on the 28th go ahead so they to come out 

three times uh the second time is when she really abused me I had scratches all over my back that turned into a couple 

of scars the third time they came out a female officer came she seen the scratches she agreed to arrest her for 

domestic violence now at this case all I wanted her to do is just to leave so 

that's why I didn't press charges uh the state of Michigan is the one that press charges on her and put the restraining 

or I want to know what your counsil claim is about uh the due harassment uh she found out that I had a girlfriend 

and and that's when all heck broke loose she wrote a letter to my Corporation did you file did oh to your corporation yes 

let me see what she wrote to your corporation this was a couple months after the court case happened I 

also you wrote a letter to the defendant's employer he has an employee 

living with him an employee that works in the same store and you are sure that that's against company policy you give 

the employees name and then you say that he also has a mother and brother working for him and I'm not sure if this is 

company policy or not but it seems to me that this is unfair treatment to other employees and more favored towards those 

particular family members and then you name them why in the world would you send this kind of I put in there I 

didn't say anything why in the world would you send this letter I don't know I guess out of Vengeance I don't know 

right there was no reason for you to write this letter except to harass him is that right I wasn't harassing him of 

course you were well who are you harassing the corporation Judge Judy continues in a 

moment well if it is mine I'm going to fight for custody right now instead of fighting for custody why don't you fight 

to find out if this is your child real cases real people Judge Judy Emily algy 

says ex-boyfriend Ken palazola owes for the return of her belongings Ken is 

countersuing claiming Emily destroyed his magazine collection and slandered him at work what else I also had the 

police reports from uh for damaging my property I'm not interested in your magazine sir um she wasn't able to 

contact me and she called me many times and uh as soon as she found out that I was married is when all this took place 

she ever taken you Court to established paternity of this child no the front of the Court's really slow I just have to 

wait to be contacted by them so you did file a yes ma'am I well just for child support yes well paternity because he 

says he wants I assume you want a blood test yes maam when did you file that lawsuit um in the beginning of May of 

2003 in any event I'm dismissing your claim because you have no case against him for this property I do find however 

that this letter was sent maliciously and for no reason you can't do that you can't conduct business that way young 

lady I mean the two of you were foolish enough after knowing each other for a few months and having a tumultuous relationship you were foolish enough to 

get pregnant and have a child that was pretty stupid right yes now you understand that if this is your child is 

there a strong possibility that that's true I honestly since then finally out she slept with two men while we were 

together while I was away on business at the time when uh the baby was conceived so you're not sure no not at all okay 

that's what he heard from someone else so listen truth of the matter is you don't have to wait for the courts to go 

for a blood test I assume that you want to know whether this is your child or not is that right FR of the court I 

assume that you want to know whether this is your child or not is that right yes because if this is your child times 

are wasted you don't want to not have a relationship with your daughter do you no so then why don't you make arrangements between the two of you to 

go and have a blood test um contacted the friend of the court and they said it was cheaper to go through them so 

cheaper for who cheaper for your daughter cheaper cheaper for me cheaper for him but all the while he's missing out on his daughter's life if it is not 

mine then I do not care but the point is if it is your child you don't want 

another year to go by without her knowing you no but she uh also if it is 

mine I'm going to fight for custody because she you right now wanted instead of fighting for custody wanted you fight 

to find out if this is your child so the difference is $400 yes and 

what's the name of the blood service there um they sent it to Washington uh I didn't bring that information with me 

well you're going to get the name of the lab because I think that you really want to know don't you this your child or not 

yes and that the sooner that happens the better off you are is that right yes so what we're going to do is I'm awarding 

you $400 on your counter claim sir because I believe that she did in fact harass you but the check's going to be 

made payable to the blood bank so the two of you and this little baby can go and have blood tested and find out 

whether or not this is your child does that sound reasonable to you do that way you can find out you got it I don't need 

to find out he does no you need to find out when you have a child out of wedlock 

stupidly you're living at his mother's house house did you get thrown out of his mother's house no we didn't it was 

my choice to move out and what about your house with your parents did you get thrown out of there initially 

technically not technically not technically and how old are you I'm 18 and then I when I read your complaint 

you said he told you he wanted his life complete with a baby so you got pregnant this was not this was not an accident no 

it was not an accident this was not an AC this was an on purpose somebody 17 years old who has no job who has no I 

had a job yes I had a job didn't last long because according to what I read your job didn't last long because his 

mother said you shouldn't work so hard so you quit your job well that was my second job do you understand yes I I 

believe it's more important for you to find out for him to find out whether 

this is his child and for you to get any money either of you I don't understand 

why you would come in and Sue over two po holders why you would come in and Sue over a spoon a lad a green blue dish and 

you sue her over this letter which clearly didn't damage your job right well it did because I had to take a 

couple of days off I sympathize with you sir listen to me if in fact this is your child the fact that you have turned away 

and said it's not my responsibility is very unkind to both her and this little 

girl so it seems to me a standup fellow would say if this is my child I want to 

know and I want to know now not 6 months from now not eight months from now and then have the audacity to 

say if it's mine I'm going to fight for custody whenever but by that time your daughter's 2 years old she doesn't even 

know who you are well in defense of myself uh the state did have a restraining order so I was not able to contact the mother of the baby well you 

don't have to you don't have to contact her go to court and file a lawsuit they'll order a blood test could I 

please we did my mother did send him a certified letter letting him know that I did have the baby what difference if he 

says he's not sure that the baby is his what difference does it make I don't know but he wants to know instead of 

money for your harassment he's going to take a test right yes ma'am perfect goodbye f i 

excused you may step out yeah I had a very very good collection his porno magazines I know she's uh so he hasn't 

seen his child and she's 5 months old I don't think it's mine and now the next case all parties in the matter of Flor 

versus ety step forward please business owner Wanda Flores is suing the father 

of her daughter's boyfriend environmental technician Don ety for the value of a car Wanda claims Don traded 

in her daughter's vehicle without her permission Miss Flores is this your daughter yes ma'am is that your son yes 

it is Miss Flores your daughter and the defendant's son have a child together 

yes your daughter is 17 your son is 18 and how old is the child four months so 

they were both underage when this child was conceived yes in December of 2002 

you claimed that you gave your daughter an old car in January of 2003 Mr Eddie 

took your daughter I assume his son down to a car dealership your daughter signed 

over the title Mr Eddie purchased a newer car right yes he purchased it in 

his name but with the understanding that the kids would be driving it and that your daughter and you would make the 

payments on the car yes then something happened and his son went to jail and you claimed that despite the fact that 

you and or your daughter were making payments on the car Mr Eddie took the car back cuz it was in his name and he 

says it got repossessed by the bank so are you following this you know this Gone With the Wind I got 

it so what you want is the value of the car that you gave your daughter in 

December of 2002 yes ma'am Mr Eddie tells a whole different story which I'm 

going to let him get to when you gave your daughter this car in 2002 in 

December what date in December was it um it was like a week before Christmas and 

where did you get the car from I've had it for years was it running yes we just 

put a new front in on it we really did a lot of work to it did you have a conversation with Mr Eddie about trading 

in this car car no I didn't did you give your daughter the title to the car no I went as soon as they got the car they 

called me and asked me if I'd come and sign the title over oh I understand so you gave them a gift but there was an 

understanding with Mr Eddy that they were going to use that car as a tradein yes okay now what was the agreement as 

far as payment they were the car was supposed to be put in their name I know 

right now they couldn't put it in their name because teenagers but um William turns 18 in 

August the time they couldn't put the car in their name yeah and they probably wouldn't give him a loan anyway exactly 

so he put it in his name yes what was the arrangement as far as payment was my question I was going to pay the payments 

with Michelle and the car was supposed to be after they got old enough to put it back in her their name January 

February when was the car repossessed I don't know what month Mr ready it was last month why because of default on 

payment how many payments were missed uh one which payment April's April payment 

yes your honor was due on the 8th of every month and there was no payment made in April no and that's why you took 

the car back yes ma'am so you would agree that if she can prove to me that she made April's payment you're in 

trouble right yes show me I don't have any proof I really don't so what am I 

supposed to do I think they deserve a car for their new baby what Miss 

Flores that's nice there used to be a program you know called the millionaire you know you wait for John bears for 

tipon to come knock at your door and give you a million dollars and then you go and buy whatever you like you had an agreement you had an 

agreement with Mr Eddie your agreement was that you would make the payments on this loan every month he says that he 

repossessed the car because you did not make April's payment that was due April 8th and he repossessed the car in May 

and then he it got repossessed by the bank cuz he couldn't make the payment either my question to you is very simple 

show me you made April's payment and then you have a case you tell me I can't and I say so what do you want for me and 

you say I think they deserve to have a car so maybe you can convince bird to buy him a car your honor if you breached 

your contract with Mr Eddie you're not I didn't have no contract with him yes you did no I didn't you just testified under 

oath that you did you don't understand Miss Flores you testified under oath that you had a contract a verbal 

contract with him that you would make the payments on this car no I had a verbal contract with my daughter you 

can't she's 17 she can't make a contract only he can make a contract and you testified that you had a contract 

contract was with him that the payments would be made and April's payment wasn't made he had an absolute right to take 

back the car your case is dismissed that's all why do I excuse you may step out heavy equipment operator Larry 

Huffine is suing his ex-girlfriend JN Donovan for switching around his prepaid 

grave plots Larry claims she forged a document to do it find in the courtroom 

please now this this case number 127 on the calendar in the matter of Huffine versus Donovan prob have been sworn in 

judge you may be seated ladies have seats Please Mr Huffine was the defendant what I gather is you had one 

son yes her daughter was in a relationship with your son yes and he 

was tragically killed right at that time you decided to buy some burial plots 

five of them so that when your son was buried you would know that you would be buried next to him and where the family 

would be she bought plots above you her her daughter did in any event this is 

your complaint you found out that a stranger had been buried in one of your plots yes and it is your claim that Miss 

Donovan caused that to happen yes and that she forged your signature for the 

authorization with the cemetery yes in order to move around the spots you say 

you never gave your permission for that that's correct and you want to be compensated yes Miss Donovan says that 

you did in fact give your permission and she says that she can prove that you 

gave your permission and she is counter claiming because she said she's had to go through all kinds of legal gymnastics 

to clear herself of these allegations so first tell me when did your son pass away in 19 1997 December 24th and how 

did he die a doctor made a mistake drilled into his brain so it was a surgical error yes how long had you been 

living with Miss Donovan at the time less than two years and how long had your son been involved in a relationship 

with her daughter probably since oh 13 years old how old was he when he died 18 

now can you show me please the burial plot locations I would like to be able 

to see that so I could put it in context I have a video right here if you like it I would 

can you hold that a second please Mr Huffine can you walk up to the monitor please 

yes and I'd like you to sort of point out with me to figer as it's being explain to me all righty okay this one 

here is my parents they're located in the upper Cemetery this right here is my son when he passed away I bought this 

these five Lots right here this one included I bought the these two for me and whoever I was married to and my 

ex-wife and whoever she was married to at the time and the son was in the middle okay thank 

you so you bought your sons one for you one for your wife if should you remarry 

one for your former wife and her mate yes I so that you would all be together 

now where did the defendants Daughter by their plot she bought the one in front of my son excuse me what just a second 

one plot or two just one in front of his right okay go ahead and on May 3rd I got 

a call from my ex-wife and she said I'm at the cemetery and she said it scared me to death someone was in your plot one 

of my plot that I bought and I said no I think you're mistaking and she says no I'm not so I called Jerry and I said you 

didn't do anything with these plots did you and she goes no I didn't so I went down the cemetery and I seen that 

Anthony David was buried in one of my plots so I went up to the was it the one right next to your son or one it was the 

end so I went up to the main office there at the cemetery and they gave me a letter that Jerry had wrote and forged 

and switch plots on me can I see a copy of that letter please and here's one from the notary if 

you'd like to look at that too saying that he did not do that i' like to see 

both continue and at this point I went through different attorneys they 

explained to me what she had did and they gave me a copy of that and you said I never signed it no I never signed that 

she also called the cemetery and told him she did not remember doing this that's here 

say yes I'll hear you I thought it would make it easier I do have copies from the cemetery of the plots that would make it 

easier for you I'd like to see them please 

okay tell me the circumstances surrounding the plaintiff agreeing to switch cemetery plots so that you and 

your daughter would be together side I'd be head-to-head with Larry she would be 

head-to-head with Michael Michael's mother and her boyfriend would be on one side of Michael and Anthony Davis is a 

stranger to everybody right so I want you to tell me the circumstances surrounding Mr Hine agreeing to make 

that change which in effect would say to him if you marry either your wife or 

your ex-wife's mate could not be buried in the same line explain that to me when 

we bought the plots and we did by the way who bought them I did Larry did they were under his name he paid for them yes 

but so he paid for them so they were his plots right but all my monies went into Larry's checking account and I do have 

proof of I don't care about that he bought the plots he bought the plots they were in his name at some point I 

don't have a date but I believe it was in early 1999 my daughter had said she 

wished that I would have bought my plot next to her and she said well I wonder if you can switch it I said I don't know 

so I called the cemetery I asked the cemetery can you exchange your plot if you want to they said you can as long as 

you do it before the last payment is made and if it has to be a letter from 

the owner a request in writing notorized so I didn't do it immediately I thought 

about it for a little bit of time and to be honest I don't remember any specific hard long talks between Larry and myself 

I just remembered that he did agree to it I did write the letter out myself you wrote the letter out yourself and that 

was in 1999 correct will you still together as a couple then yes we were when did you 

separate from Mr Hine a the end of August 1999 so not far after this so I 

assumed things had not been going well for a while Larry had suffered a lot of 

personality changes due I guess to Michael's death so things had not been going well for a while right if you 

separated in August and this was done in May it was a brief few months so I 

assume that in May things were not going well between the two of you everything 

seemed to be going fine except for that Larry was very depressed a lot so things 

were not going fine well I don't know exactly what you mean I me we weren't screaming fighting tearing each other's 

hair out well then how come you separated a couple of months later because the end of June or July he went to work in Utah and he had an affair yes 

and when I found out I moved out Judge Judy continues in a moment that's his handwriting that is inconsistent with 

the notary's log book well his log states that just one individual came correct and that's Miss Donovan and she 

signed the cemetery affidavit real cases real people Judge 

Judy Larry Huffine claims ex-girlfriend jyn Donovan forged documents so she 

could switch around his prepaid grave wants so things were going absolutely 

fine until that time to me they were and to you no I told her in the beginning of 

99 she would be moving to start saving her money up and get her repl when did you tell her that probably February tell 

me about the conversation that you had with her it took place she told me she was going to move her daughter back in and I said no she's not and she says 

well she's not moving back in I'm moving out and I says well I have to go to Utah till the end of August when I come back 

have your own place why did you not want her to move her daughter back in many different reasons her daughter was very 

disrespectful she was 19 years of age she was experience an ecstasy drug and I 

didn't want to be around it and I told her no and she could not accept that answer and that was in February that was 

in February she knew after February did you continue to live as a family with the defendant yes well then how did she 

know you were serious because when I told her she was moving out I was very serious she knew that okay was your 

daughter living with you in January of 1999 I don't believe so was there a time 

when she was planning on moving back in 1999 I don't remember okay it is your 

claim Miss Donovan that the plaintiff agre agreed to switching of these plots 

and according to your answer you have an expert witness who is prepared to testify with regard to that I'd like to 

hear the witness is that you yes step up 

please witness been swenberg witness has been sworn you're 

on tell me your name Andrea McNichol Miss McNichol when did you become 

familiar with the defendant well I actually just by telephone on uh May 8th 

2003 and what did she tell you she asked me to examine a document I guess you're 

calling that the cemetery plot document that was notorized M I asked her for the 

original it's always best to examine the original she called back later and said she made an attempt to get the original 

that they would not make it available I told her that anything that I could find would have to be contingent on that the 

the copies that I looked at were true representations of the original in other words sometimes you get the original and 

you see that someone had cut and pasted something on there or there are things on that that you cannot see when you see 

the copies okay um after that she provided a large sampling of signatures 

I told her to get the signatures of Larry hauffen in the notary okay this letter from the 

notary did you in fact examine the signature on the notary yes and you 

concluded that the signature on the notary was the same yes to my naked eye 

the JS are totally different well if you'll notice on the letter he writes his JS four times well he wrote it 

because he evidently looked at this you've seen this log book yes it is clear that according to the notary's log 

book he did in fact notarize something for Miss Donovan correct but I I would 

like to call your attention to the fact I was also provided a large sampling of his signatures not just the one may I 

see them please yes actually I I prepared this whole report 

this is the copy they made for you now that's what I'm looking 

at well clearly his signature on this document 

which has nothing to do with this case but I'm just looking at the signature the J is different from the J on this 

document let's take a look I don't find it different let's take a look you never sign your name the same way twice let's 

take a look no but this J is totally backwards it's my op that's his handwriting I'm 

just asking you about the J that's totally different this other document he signs in my opinion with several shapes 

to the letter J Judge Judy continues in a moment this doesn't strike you as being 

strange yes it does somebody sends a an I love you greeting card and signs it 

love Larry Huffine real cases real people judge J 

Larry Huffine says ex-girlfriend JN Donovan switched around his prepaid grave plots without his 

permission what do you say is his handwriting in just the 

notary box in this just in the notary box now unless the whole notary area was 

cut and pasted on here this is his handwriting in this lower which is a possibility yes without seeing the 

original it is a possibility that is inconsistent however with his log right 

but his contention no not his contention but it's inconsistent with his log well 

his log states that just one individual came correct just one individual and that's Miss Donovan and she signed a 

cemetery affidavit okay and it is your opinion 

that the signature on this Cemetery document is his signature yes would you 

go over there and bring that board up closer to 

me so that I can see it I do have original documents 

if you'd like to see them okay okay so the question signature from 

this Cemetery document is at the top okay okay now I have not had the opportunity examine the original but if 

the copy shows that there was not a cut and paste and that this ink was placed upon the paper then these signatures 

match exactly to these other signatures some of these are from checks and some of these are from other things correct 

cards greeting cards Etc yes okay put that back please just m I'd like you up here 

please are you telling me 

that you made your decision based on the documents that the defendant gave you 

yes and one of the documents that she gave you was a greeting card I have it here Hallmark greeting card I'd like to 

see the original bird would you hand me the original please I think that's all of them 

there's several Originals I just want to look at the greeting 

card I little strange with a a love and and a full name is it isn't it is 

it this is the one miss m this doesn't strike you as being strange yes it does 

somebody sends a an I love you greeting card and signs it love Larry Huffine he 

signed every card he ever gave me everything she gave was like Larry D Huffine Larry Huffine always 

37 love Larry Huffine I can only go on what's presented to me I understand 

thank you very much good now I will hear from your daughter 

she's been dying to say something I'm going to hear from you your honor you have a letter right in front of you from 

the semetery saying that the document is an original document no it's not an original I don't have an original it's a 

true it a true I do not have an original the city of Las Vegas will not release 

it I do not have an original and neither listen to me and neither did your 

forensic expert have an original now your forensic expert could have seen the 

original but your forensic expert does not have the original no that's not what I'm referring to ma'am fine I'm 

referring to you have a letter before you I understand what you told me that some clerk said that this is a copy of 

the original I understand what you're saying to me you're not going to be able to change that that your forensic expert 

did not have the original I have to make a judgment and 

my judgment is based on several things I Believe Miss McNichol that you are a qualified expert in the field of 

forensics I believe that you were quite honest with me when you said that you did not have the original and that 

perhaps had you had the original your judgment would have been different without having the original you believe 

the copy of the document that I have is uh Larry hin signature I disagree with 

you I have to ask myself why someone who had so carefully planned for the death 

of his entire family would have permitted a scenario where a stranger 

could be buried next to him that's one thing the timing of this letter is also 

very important Miss Donovan would have me believe that Mr Huffine would during a time of domestic Strife be so kind as 

to do permit the defendant and her daughter to move into a situation where 

a stranger is occupying the cemetery plots that he has bought and paid for 

that doesn't make sense and if it doesn't make sense it's usually not true so I do not believe that he ever agreed 

to this now I also find most bizarre a love card that is signed love Larry 

hufflin but some people may be that strange and it is possible if that's strange I have to make a judgment based 

upon what has a ring of truth to it what has a ring of truth to it is Miss 

Donovan's daughter wanted to be close to her mother and close to the teenage 

boyfriend and she persuaded her mother who knew she was on her way out of this relationship to forge this signature I 

believe that that's what happened and since I'm the final Orbiter cuz that's where you've put this case your counter 

claim Miss donov for damages due to defamation of character and slander are dismissed and 

I am awarding Mr Huffine the $5,000 that he has requested which is the maximum possible allowance that this court can 

grant him although I don't know how he can ever rectify the situation that has occurred with the cemetery plot I doubt 

very much whether he can and for that I am s sincerely sorry that's all this case is over parties are excused you may 

step out thank you your honor to be 7year old arborous Tom V is suing Carol zamit and Katherine Smith for the cost 

of a Quadrunner Tom claims the defendant 16-year-old Sons stole the 

[Music]

them what is your first name Tony how old are you Tony 16 

I'm 16 also but you have a name Andy the reason I ask these two young men to come up here is because their parents don't 

really know what happened here because they weren't involved they just relay what their children tell them isn't that 

right correct okay you purchased an allterrain vehicle yes honor was a used 

one yes and you left it in your yard yes you came back after being gone for a 

week or so and you found that it was gone correct somehow they came into possession of your ATV that's correct 

and according to you they damaged it substantially so that it really can't be used and you want them to pay a 

substantial amount of money their parents yes the parents say that the boys really did some creative 

decorating of your ATV that's their answer that they painted it and made it nice but then somebody stole it from you 

and those people that took it from you must be responsible for the damage is that what what I'm getting yes 

you so here we go when did you purchase this ATV on May 16th this year cuz I got 

a job in Lake Arrowhead and it calls for an allterrain vehicle and from whom did

there's um over a million dead trees and I want to go down there and help them remove the trees this is not show and 

tell I'm not saying this show this is why I bought the quad I I I put it down please I asked you a very simple 

question Mr vile where did you go and when I went to San Bernardino Lake 

Arrowhead and when did you go there um a week after I purchased the quad I parked 

it up there with all my other equipment I left and when did you come back uh 

another couple weeks later so about three weeks went by not three weeks no I 

went for a week to see what's going on in Lake Arrowhead so I can assist him with my services I came back the quad 

was gone let me tell you what you wrote sir in your complaint you say you purchased this 1986 Yamaha Quad on May 

16th and you parked it on private property on May 18th then I went to Big 

Bear to do some work on the 19th and returned home a few weeks later that's 

what you wrote that's irrelevant this is private property don't tell me what's irrelevant I'll tell you what's relevant 

I want you to try to answer my questions as best as you can the questions that I have not the things that are on your 

agenda which are not relevant as to why you went to work on trees you purchased it on the 16th I want to know when you 

left and when you left it on the grounds of the temple and when you returned I 

returned about a week and a half later that's why I didn't have enough time to register when I got back I know you have 

your own agenda as far as your testimonies what you're telling me is not relevant what's relevant is when you 

left it there and when you came back and saw it missing that's what I wanted to know did you file a police report no I 

didn't why not because it's a small community I drove around looked at garages just waiting for someone to 

drive it in front of me and I have a lot of eyes around the neighborhood a lot of kids in the neighborhood they know I had 

the quad they gave me a note on my truck that they seen these boys driving it and 

that's when I responded date did you get the note on your truck I don't have the date well actually I do it's on the 

police report cuz that same can I see the police report please I don't have the police report we have we cop police 

report 

you'll notice that it's a found property not stolen also yes you stole the 

property let me explain something to you don't make any excuses to me you stole the property it was a when you take 

property that doesn't belong to you that's stealing we didn't think it was uh like there was no chain on it there's 

no lock let me explain something let me explain something I'm going to get to you in one second but I want to tell you something if you don't want to make this 

a very sad day in your life you're not going to make excuses say you took property that didn't belong to you when 

I grew up that was called stealing a car is not chained to its parking space 

right and if somebody leaves a car in a parking space and just happens to go into a store and leaves the keys in the 

car that doesn't mean it's abandoned that you can take it cuz it's not chained to the meter you understand each 

other yeah we have good Judge Judy continues in a moment let us assume that instead of a quad all 

of a sudden your boy shows up and in the Drone driveway is an automobile we didn't bring it just a minute this is my 

scenario not yours they did not bring it back and put it pay 

attention real cases real people Judge Judy Tom V says 16-year-olds Tony zamit 

and Andrew Smith stole his Quadrunner the teens say the vehicle was abandoned 

at a Buddhist temple okay so you told the police that you found it abandoned in a Hill area 

behind the Buddhist Church on approximately May 23rd is that right yes Yan and you wrote it yes it had no 

battery or the in the ignition was broken and it was we had to bump start it we had to roll it and then start it 

and then we uh parked it about 100 yards away from uh where it was and then we came back the next day cuz the seat was 

falling off and the wheel so we Ed the bolts and then we panned the Plastics cuz they were weathered cuz it was 

originally red and it faded to pink and white and we went back to the next day and it was it was gone yeah we we like 

we're making it kind of like a little project or like fixing it up if anything we made 

it better we didn't like break anything on it you want to say something the 

pictures that we have your honor show that what what it looks like behind because you could come down out of the hills where the kids ride their bikes 

and you're right on to this dirty area so it doesn't look like it's a contained area doesn't have to be a contained area 

madam let us assume that instead of a quad this was a 

car okay okay and all of a sudden your boy shows up in the driveway is an 

automobile and you say to him where'd you get that from he said well I was riding my bike up behind the Buddhist 

temple and there was this car sitting there and it wasn't attached 

to anything and the starter wasn't working and it was the color was fading 

we looked around nobody was there so we jump started it and we brought it home because we want to make a project at of 

fixing it up we didn't bring it just a minute this is my scenario not yours you didn't bring it home you hid it you 

moved it from one location to another you're following my scenario they brought it back and put it in your driveway right correct no they did not 

bring it back and put it in your driveway pay attention I said I am making up a 

scenario for Miss zit right that the boys found the car in the same area 

right here that the car was faded its seat was 

Wiggly you had to use a screwdriver to start it but they brought it home 

because the boys wanted to make a project out of fixing up this car are you getting me Miss zamit yes would the 

first thing that you do call the police and say I want to know if this car is registered to anybody 

yes right yes they didn't do that the boys actually have their own off-road vehicles I don't care what they have 

they didn't do it if they had called to find out if this car was titled your 

sons would have found out that there was a name attached to this ATV they chose 

not to do that they chose to take the ATV and move it from one location to 

another that's called Larsen the day you found this vehicle was that the day you told 

your mother about it no we told no the answer is no when did you tell your 

mother about it after he came to our house right when did you tell your 

mother that you took it and moved it when he came to his house we got a phone call same time right where is this ATV 

now it's uh in my neighbor's yard just trash it's in your neighbor's yard just 

trashed okay I just a second just a second stop getting hysterical it's an ATV don't get hysterical it's not you're 

well you know you don't have a life-threatening illness that's why not I'm just just a second put your hand down you have to accept responsibility 

for what you do your sons just bought an ATV and they bought it for what he paid 

for it which was $1,250 not for what he wants for it which is 

$2,650 that's the cost of the repairs your honor listen to me buy another one they just bought this one for $12 $50 

and they can fix it up to their heart's content do you understand yes good judgment for the plaintiff in the amount 

of $1,250 that's all parties are excused you may step out I'm just aggravated that their 

parents didn't take responsibility to correct them I think it was an honest mistake we didn't know that he owned it 

they're not remorseful it's sickening I'll just leave other people's properties alone I don't think they got the message loud and clear the boys are 

very clear now that if if something's in question don't touch don't touch and now the next case all is in a matter of

legitimate expectation in that month and a half that he was going to be able to pay you back if in fact you laid that 

out for him I don't believe that I believe that you said I'll help you out I'll pay your bills give me your salary

it your wife who was responsible for paying the bills in your house sir yes ma'am so you didn't know how to do that

Holland step forward please football mom Beverly Sherman pursuing the director of her son's League Lester Hollands for 

emotional damage because he banned her and her two sons from the club 

order all rise quiet in the courtroom 

please is number 91 on the calendar in the matter of Sherman versus Holland sir P have been swor in judge you may be 

seated have a seat please those belong to your boys yes 

ma'am Mrs Sherman I've read your complaint you are suing the defendant for 

$55,000 for discrimination stress mental anguish 

because he won't let your two sons play in his football league right is correct my my two sons and my daughter who's a 

cheerleader and my niece well let's not talk about your niece I'm not interested in your niece let's not talk about your 

daughter who's a cheerleader that's not part of your lawsuit let's talk about your two sons you believe that it is 

actionable which means that you have a cause of action against this man for the things that I've just outlined because 

he and I believe you run this Football League that's correct I founded it won't 

let your boys play exactly why won't he let your boys play do you know well Mr Holland seemed to have a personal 

Vendetta against me for uh uh an incident that happened earlier in before 

the season actually uh got started um what was the incident well the incident happened where um I was the uniform 

coordinator and uniform coordinator for the team for the organization okay okay 

uh I coordinated the the the accessories and uh things for the uh the football players the um team moms 

the team managers uh the coordinators and uh everyone involved so you were in 

charge of uniform accessories exactly correct yes all right so what happened um the incident happened where uh I 

ordered gold socks to accommodate the uh colors or whatever in the uniforms and 

Mr Hollands wanted blue socks and uh the incident just got blown out of 

proportion he you know just really you know never let me live it down and he's 

just been real you order col socks that he didn't just a minute let me understand this you ordered a Col of a color socks that he didn't like he had 

an argument about that a big argument and after that what happened after that 

he everything I have done for the organization he has just you know looked down upon me he's uh criticized me he's 

just nothing I can do for the organization is to his liking you know 

everything you know I your boys had played in the league before in his League before this was the start of this 

organization he I know but did they play for a season with his group yes this was 

their first year and they did play yes so your complaint is that they weren't invited back for year two 

exactly you want to say something to me uh yes uh that incident that she 

described was only one of many incidents the incident that actually brought the last blow was at a meeting in February 

28th of 97 uh we supposed to been just a general business meeting and Mrs Sherman 

became unhappy with the agenda and stormed out so uh when the board met and 

discussed the year of events from August from the incident with the socks there was an incident uh on uh I believe that 

was uh Wednesday September third after a high school game she had verbal 

confrontation with our cheer courp coordinator which she was kicking the lady's vehicle slamming her 

door and this was done in front of uh several the High School faculty and it 

was what was that incident about it was about a list of names that 

she was demanding from our cheer coordinator that she did not feel that was produced in a timely manner I I 

didn't demand anything and I'm sure if I was kicking and doing this to this lady's car in which it was a brand new 

car I'm sure I'd be in court right now with her for so what you're saying is you I did not I did not do that to the 

lady you didn't assault her car no I did not we had verbal words beginning to get 

the gist of this so your board decided that they didn't want her to be the uniform coordinator anymore well just 

not uniform coordinator just through her conduct and her actions throughout the entire course of the year um which uh I 

have here um the uh flowchart for the organization uh even with the incident 

that involved myself and Mrs Sherman uh over the socks uh yes it was the it was 

really an ugly event and there were several other events as her acting as the uh uniform coordinator there were 

numerous listen Mr Hollands you have a right to say if you 

have a board I don't want this person involved all I asked you was did your 

board decide that they didn't want Miss Sherman to be the uniform coordinator anymore and to not invite her back yes 

and not invite her back in what capacity uh any involvement and it was basically 

uh not wanting her to even return uh to the organization simply because of her 

conduct okay now what did that have to do with her 

boys well the boys were are are in her family it was wasn't that we were banishing the boys but it was just that 

we prefer that she did not return with her family because of her contuct and uh it was brought to our attention 

well do you think it's possible that she can come and just participate you know and support her children and we said 

well yeah but it's a concern with the other parents other board members that her having nothing to do would just give 

her more ample time to just be more of a disturbance well Mrs Sherman your 

problem Madam is that you have to have a legally actionable 

case Mr Holland is not legally obligated to accept any boy or girl on his 

team I'm sure that a lot of people try out for the team that aren't accepted is that right that's 

correct exactly but what he is doing is trying to keep my children from participating in his program because he 

doesn't personally like me so in which but but but Mr Sherman that may sound unfair to your children but let us 

assume the follow period in life it's unfair in life it's discrimination you know if if he auditions what do you do 

you audition people for your tryy outs let's say he has tryouts for his football league and 50 kids come in tryy 

out and he only accepts it's 33 per team 33 kids exactly you're going to have 

17 right that's right 17 17 children who 

are going to be disappointed if I permitted your lawsuit 

madam that would mean that the families of those 17 kids who were not asked or 

invited on to the team could have a cause of action for discrimination 

mental stress on themselves mental stress on their children nobody would be involved with 

coaching a team anymore nobody would be involved in starting a team this isn't the case this is not the cas of course 

it's the case it's not they didn't even get an opportunity listen to me they 

don't have to be given an opportunity they do according to the bylaws of King conference yeah this is this he he 

doesn't own this organization this is a public organization just a second this isn't a public organization a public 

organ just a second that's just like saying a black person couldn't go to a a 

white Please Mr chairman don't bring black and white into this that's absolutely ridiculous how many how many 

children in this league are black the almost enre so then stop talking discrimination has nothing to do with 

discrimination Judge Judy continues in a moment he has a a ego problem a control 

problem and he just does not take constructive criticism from a woman 

well real cases real people Judge Judy football Junior League director 

Lester Holland says he had to ban Beverly Sherman and her sons from the league because she was too much to deal 

with it has to do Mr Sherman with the fact that he had an altercation with you 

and according to him the board decided that they didn't want you to be involved anymore that's fine that's fine and they 

would prefer for the sake of all the other children not to have you involved because according to him and I'll let him go on and tell me what the incidents 

were that he says we had one incident where he says that you kicked the car had another incident where you had a 

verbal altercation with him I mean I feel sorry for your boys but you have to understand that not every wrong is 

legally actionable not every wrong results in 

coming to a court sometimes if something like this happens you have to say to your boys 

which you did according to your papers listen guys there is another football league and you have to be involved with 

that one because I don't get along with Holland I don't get along with this whole organization there is another place for your boys to play football but 

why do they need why do they have to be made to go somewhere else when they haven't caused they haven't done 

I haven't listen to me sure you're not following me I said it's sad I said it's 

unfortunate I said it's probably unfair to the boys that they can't 

play all of those things I what I'm saying to you is it is not legally 

actionable because if it was legally actionable for you that it would be legally actionable 

courts would have to open their doors to the other 17 boys who tried out for that team and who for one reason or another 

were rejected and it may have been unfair he may not have liked them because they were too tall Too Short too 

fat too thin he needed a tall one this was a short one whatever reason he wanted this cheerleader because she was 

prettier than that cheerleader he wanted this cheerleader because she was taller than that cheerleader if I allowed your 

kind of lawsuit our courts would be flooded with this kind of case and we can't have that cuz not every wrong is 

subject to a legal redress it's as simple as that it's sad 

but of boys can play football they weren't discriminated against because of their race because of their ethnicity 

because of anything else they were discriminated against if you can use 

that term because he didn't want to look at you during the course of the Season 

not a problem cuz I don't want to look at him either he didn't want to so that so you're you're saying that he can tell 

he can make people come and go in this organization as he chooses that's absolutely right Judge Judy will 

continue in a moment and later today tell them about that you was a prostitute and how you was a good 

actress because you had to fake for your tricks you had to fake for your uh uh she only kills from rich people and 

 real cases real people Judge Judy football Junior League director 

ctor Lester Holland says he had to ban Beverly Sherman and her sons from the league because she was too much to deal 

with you don't seem to understand it's sad but every I'm going to say it one 

more time every disappointment does not result in a lawsuit for stress right your boys have the 

opportunity to play at another football league where not only they will be welcome but hopefully the two of you will be welcome welcome to participate 

welcome to get involved I would suggest that you use your energies toward its more productive things rather than 

negative things they are not they are not welcome because you madam are not 

welcome and the fact that you are fighting here in court about this instead of moving on and getting your 

boys involved in another football league where you your boys and your son will 

all be welcome is a big mistake we've already done that good case is dismissed 

that's all excuse they step out back the children suffer because of the 

parents Behavior he behavior of the parents why you know 

we just do not permit the Family itself parties on humph versus Steward step forward please company manager Ernestine 

humph claims her niece 33-year-old Yolanda Stewart stole $1,000 of her 

company's cash miss humph the defendant is your niece yes 

ma'am and according to your complaint you are accusing your niece of stealing 

$1,000 of business money yes sh I am well tell me why you think she took this 

money and how I uh represent a company in Detroit and I um am responsible for 

making the deposits weekly deposits on Tuesday May the 6th I was in my office I 

had balanced the manager sheet counted the money and I had $7,200 on my desk my in cash yes in cash 

cash already wrapped and counted what kind of business is this Coin Laundry a 

coin laundry so they collect all the money and then they you make a deposit of cash exactly from okay so there was a 

knock on the door and the employee was in the bathroom so I opened the door it was my niece she works down at the next 

light and uh I thought she just saw my car and came by to say hi whatever uh 

during the time that she was there I turned and walked away to use the 

telephone and when I came back she suddenly was in a hurry to go and a 

couple days later the uh corporate headquarters in Toledo informed me that my bag was missing a roll of tens 100 

tens which is $1,000 and uh they didn't understand why this happened 

they wanted to know if I had someone helping me count the money because all of the years that I worked for this company that has never ever happened 

well how many people touch this money after you count it and prepare a deposit 

I give it to the owner's son David and he takes it and gives it to his father 

the owner of the company and he makes the deposit so at least two other people 

touch that bag before it gets to a bank right but the owner has 26 stories he's 

a multi-millionaire and his son is very wealthy I don't think they need $1,000 

did you take this money no and second of all she did not walk away and use the phone she asked me to walk away and call 

my sister to see what time my sister and her daughter were coming to Detroit we both walked to the phone which I did 

that and my sister was not there we left a message on her machine and then I said well I have to go I was at work I seen 

her car like I always do I stopped in and say hey how you doing we both talked the money was on the table and I talked 

to her briefly and then I said said well I got to get back to the store I left nobody in charge I said I'm going down to Highland Park and then I'm going back 

to my store she said oh thanks for coming and all that she walked me out to my car I don't know if she she came out 

the second door and she watched me as I got in my car and she was talking to me and this right here is what I had on I 

had no jacket I had no purse nowhere where I could have stuck $1,000 the day 

before that she told me she needed some money I said well I you know I don't have any money she told me that the day 

before and also the day before I helped her count this money she paid me $50 out 

the money for helping her count it which it wasn't my first time helping her count the money at all and then after 

that she said uh she came to me about a few days later she said I went to the meeting in too she was nervous she came 

up to my job she said they said I'm missing a bundle or T and she said from the house I said well it couldn't have been missing from your house when I 

stopped at your lat I said you were just now writing it on the sheet she said uh oh you right and then after that that's 

when I heard it happened at the L which she never left me and which her office has a lock on it so why would she ever 

say she could have just asked me to step out and let the door lock Judge Judy continues in a 

moment let me tell you this you really do not have any proof 

that Miss Stewart took this money no it's just circumstantial and you understand that 

it's really unfair for any Court to convict someone and in effect I would be 

convicting her of being a thief if I were to Grant you this, judgment that you're after 

understand especially since there were other people who had their hands on that 

money I just think it's so sad that you would had a lovely relationship according to your papers before this 

happened and that you make this accusation without any real proof to 

back it up uh that she was the only one in the office that day while the money was on the you need money I and you and 

you needed money well I did not no don't I not any money 

listen to me listen to me you may have needed money she may have she may have 

needed money bottom line is in a court you have to deal with proof and there 

were other people who touched that money after you counted it prepared a deposit 

and gave it to the owner's son you don't know who the owner's son gave it to he may have let somebody else to his father 

well but you don't know that hey I do I look like I need help okay I'll just 

help you don't know that it may have gone from his hand to two three other 

people before it ended up in the bank so I cannot award you the Judgment that you're requesting I just again find it 

very sad that two people who had been very close to each other clearly are now not I think maybe 

you should apologize to her for letting this thing go this far anyway this case is dismissed thank 

you excuse step out ganian step forward please Tracy Kennedy a 28-year-old 

manicurist claims her business neighbor ban gdanian scammed her into moving out of her premises so he could move in she 

says she was promised $3,000 but never received it order all rise 

[Music] yeah this is case number 107 on the 

calendar in the matter of Kennedy versus gdanian parties have been sworn in judge you may be seated have a seat sir all 

right well this is an interesting story Miss Kennedy you had a beauty salon that was um there prior to the defendant's 

business moving right next door is that right um I was his business was actually 

there but he just bought it um there was a the first owner there there when I 

moved in but he was not there when you moved in right you have a beauty salon 

he has a paging and cellular service business okay and according to your 

complaint you were in the cellon for about 6 months when the defendant approached you 

and said that he was interested in expanding his space right I was in there for a year and he had been in there 

about 6 months when he approached me okay so after a year he approached you and said um he pulled me aside on the front 

porch and said can we talk for a few minutes I said sure he said that he was 

um wanted to know how long I intended on being in my space and how long was your 

lease Miss Kennedy I didn't have a lease I was month to month but I did plan on being there for quite some time how much 

was the rent on it $525 a month okay so the defendant approached 

you according to your papers and said I'm interested in expanding my business would you like to move right and you 

said what I said I had no intentions of leaving then he said I would be willing 

to compensate you to leave move your business elsewhere and um I said you 

know let me think about it for a little while and I'll get back to you but I really had no intentions at the time of 

leaving I had only been there a year so so I said let me think about it 

um two days later I came back to him and I said yeah I think I want to take up 

your offer I think that in instead of moving someplace else I'm just going to you know go to work for someone else the 

Market's really hard to find someone in my business right now and you know I 

would love to just work for someone else for a while um and I said you know I need enough money to pay my 

bills what bills the loans that I had on the salon um I had one from the bank and 

I borrowed um a couple thousand dollars from my husband's um uh parents so how much did you ask him for 

$3,000 was he agreed am out and did he agree to giving you $3,000 if you would 

move yes so he was really buying you out of your space according to basically right and what happened according to 

your papers right which I read very carefully was that eventually you were 

told that when he went to negotiate his lease with the landlord he said to him I'll give you half of what she was 

paying in rent right the landlord said absolutely not right he then came next 

door to me and said the deal is not going to go through but by then I had already given my my girls notice and 

found another place how many employees did you have I had two girls at the time 

okay ultimately you did move into that space sir is that right that's correct you're on and you didn't give her the 

$3,000 there was no agreement about $3,000 your honor well I'd like to hear your version of what happened okay I'll 

be happy to uh actually uh she's right we uh I approached her we casually asked her what her plans are and I'm you know 

told her about my intentions to move I need a larger place and at that point she says well I've been thinking of 

moving my business is not doing well and I'll give you an answer I got to talk it over with my husband I'll give you an 

answer and then a couple days later she approached me and said yes indeed I've talked it over and I've decided to move 

and she asked me for compensation I said you know Tracy this is not you know the 

right time to talk about anything at all I I don't even know just a sh Miss Kennedy I don't even know if I can reach 

an agreement with the landlord so please let me talk to the landlord see if I can reach any agreement with him and then if 

there is anything to talk about with you we'll talk about it that doesn't sound right to me sir no that's not what 

happened there just a second that doesn't sound logical to me 

sir so what you're telling me is the amount of 

$3,000 that figure never came up in your discussion with her she threw that 

number at me I'm not it did so it did come up in your 

discussion and you asked her if she would like to relocate because you wanted to expand your business that's 

not in the context that came up to your honor well you did in fact expand your business into her space that's correct 

yes so this is what we have so far we have your discussion with her about your wanting to expand her throwing out a 

figure which you ackn that she threw out a figure of 

$3,000 your statement well it's not a good time to talk about it now I have to talk to the landlord 

first now did you speak to the landlord yes and what was that conversation with 

the landlord sir at that point uh I offered uh a total of close to not a 

total I'm not interested in total I'm interested in what you are telling me 

under oath that you offered landlord for 

her store to rent I did not offer landlord a particular uh price for her space I offer offer for total for total 

my we're going to get I understand I'm sorry how much were you paying for your 

store alone sir uh $550 $551 for your store alone that's correct 

and what did you offer the landlord for both places uh 

$900 so in effect you offered the landlord substantially less than what 

she was paying that's correct yes after she had given notice that she 

was leaving that's correct yes so now you got the landlord by the 

throat Judge Judy continues in a moment honestly I had no participation 

in her movie oh no I'm going to give give him a copy of my book and later today he advertised our 

show as Playboy Girls of Rock you know as Playboy and they going to see a bunch of beautiful women in bras and panties 

real cases real people Judge Judy Tracy Kennedy says she moved out of 

her manicurist Salon because ban gdanian promised her $3,000 she says he never paid her and 

the whole deal was a scam the landlord has a tenant that's giv him 

notice he's got somebody else ready to move in right away and you were're going to get a 

bargain cuz you were going to get two stores for 

900 was your store the same size as his bigger bigger so you were going to get her store 

for 400 bucks you were paying 550 for yours so the landlord said to you at 

that point forget it right your honor at that just 

a second we understand each other this 

gentleman someone I'm um we understand each other so don't 

we so the landlord said to you forget it 

at first then you moved out right you moved 

out in June correct yes when did you move in July 1st and 

what rent did you pay uh about 950 uh close to $1,000 you're a business man 

don't no no not let's say $1,000 sir you're a businessman you know exactly what you pay for rent in this 

business so let's not say about the 950 exactly what do you pay in rent I the 

honor your honor the only reason I say about because the rent itself is the the 

but there are some other triple Nets and what have you that figures in that I'm not quite sure that's what I'm saying about that's why I say about 

$1,000 I I'm sorry 

rent 9 the rent the to the the base rent is [Music] 

$950 I rent $950 your honor so you still got the landlord for 

a couple of bucks but he didn't give you the lease right away did you sign a lease with him yes I did you're honest I had a year lease with him and you signed 

another lease for the second space that's correct your honor at a monthly rent of 

$950 that's correct your honor so the landlord lost 

that so where's her money there was no money agreed upon 

your honor to begin with she did not have to move honestly I had no 

participation in her moving out all I had with her was just a casual 

conversation for her what are your plans and and she acted upon 

that I going to give him a copy of my 

book sir yes ma'am yes I come from an old business 

family my grandfather was in the appliance business years and years ago and he's been long that I adored my 

grandfather he liked to call himself a shrewd businessman some of the people that he 

dealt with sort of dubbed him with another name so I'm aware of what you did this 

has story has a common sense approach to it you wanted to expand this lady was under the 

impression you were going to take over the same rent that she took over nobody would be HT she had evidently had enough 

of being an entrepreneur rur enough of being in business by your she said if I can just get out with these loans I'll 

go and work for somebody else and here comes the perfect opportunity for her to do that and it's a perfect opportunity 

for you to double your more than double your space at a lot less 

rent because once she gives notice the landlord is up a tree so the only one 

that comes out ahead in this business is 

that's smart but not fair to Miss Kennedy all right not difficult judgment in list 

cases for the plaintive who I believe in the amount of $3,000 that's all than your honor AR I excuse you may step 

out go to your right I'm sorry that the judge did not 

see the a con artist in Disguise did she saw you exactly she she could have stayed there she could have absolutely 

stayed there and forgotten about leaving she had no reason you're right she saw the con artist judge duty is the 

greatest and now the next case parties on Russell versus heinold step forward 

please 32-year-old Entertainer Karen Russell is suing booking agent Chuck 

heinold for non-payment of a performance fee heinold says the ACT wasn't what was 

promised M Russell according to your complaint you are an Entertainer and have a group of 

entertainers uh that you work with you dance and sing you have a review kind of act right right according to your 

complaint you performed uh in Bakersfield and you weren't paid that's 

cor that right M the defendant is not the person who didn't pay you the 

club according to these papers stop payment on the check this is true so why 

are you suing him who is he and why are you suing him this is the booking agent Chuck hinel in my contract my contract 

with the casino is with him representing me with who representing you Chuck heinold representing me let me see 

contract go ahead and um when we were doing business 

with Chuck he knew at that time the type of show that we were producing and my biggest complaint is 

that if we were represented properly we probably wouldn't be in this situation just a second Miss Russell one of the 

things I didn't understand understand from your complaint is he is your agent booking agent he is 

your agent that's correct he didn't get paid know he didn't get the check from the club to 

give to you so how could he give it because to you because it was stopped because he 

was because he misrepresented us the casino was not happy with the show and

you that he would pay even if it has to come out of his pocket that's not true

they wanted to see the bras and the the the women and we don't have a show like

death order all rise quiet in the court please all

Shepherd and uh unfortunately you allege that uh their 

dog injured and your cat subsequently died as a result of those injuries yes 

and you are seeking the vet bills that you incurred now I why don't you tell me how that 

happened um I was in my backyard watering and 

um Toby came to my gate and called out my name and said Candace and I said yes 

and she was very calm about it so I said go to the front door cuz my gate was locked so on my way to the front door I 

stopped I got a glass of water I took my time because it didn't sound urgent I got to my front door I saw she was 

holding my cat and I said I said I go my cat looks dead I go but sometimes they look that way then I noticed her tongue 

was hanging out of her mouth and I said oh my God what happened and she said well we had just gotten home with our 

family and I let my dog in your yard as I usually do to go to the bathroom true that is exactly what was 

said and uh she said it took me no more than a few minutes to bring my baby 

carrier in the house and then she said the dog came back with my cat in his in 

his her mouth where where had your cat been the cat was um at the in my yard at 

the very top of the back of the gate which is like behind my house but in your yard yeah in my 

driveway so you took your cat and what did you do with the cat well she I took 

the cat and I couldn't find my key so I insisted that she take me to a vet cuz I didn't even know where a vet was and how 

long did you had the cat 10 years what kind of cat was it a himalay what color Blue Point your point 

I know a little bit about C I'm blue 

point I love their faces don't you I know they're a totally different kind of cat if you know like reg 

cats um my son had seen the cat up in the driveway 5 minutes prior to her 

coming to my fence with the cat okay so you took the cat to the vet and what happened when you took the cat 

to the vet they such a severe trauma and that she would they did x-rays on her 

and they said that they would just she needed to stay overnight for care that she wasn't well enough for me to take 

her home but they didn't provide care there so I had to take her to um Studio City for overnight 

care and they told me just go ahead pick up your cat at 8:00 a.m. she'll be you know ready to go back to the vet I 

called them I called him right before I left my house and it seemed everything was okay when I got there they said that she's gone the other Direction um she'd 

never make it back 

so they let me bring her next door for surgy you want to take a minute want a 

minute so I took her um or they transported her next door to the Studio City Animal 

Hospital when they spoke with me and they did not say that you know she's not going to make it or anything they just 

said that we can't you know say either way and I said to go ahead and what did 

they want to do they said she needed to do surgery because she was her lungs she had um a leak in her lungs or air in her 

lungs from the punctures so they did the surgery yeah then they send her back 

over to the overnight and uh I kept checking on her one time I 

check on her and they said she was stabilized and then I check on her again they said she wasn't doing well 

and then at midnight they called me and they said you know she's now probably has like a 5% chance of living and she'd 

already been through a lot so I just told let her 

go and what were the veterinary bills that you incurred I have them on 

here uh 1434 and that's not that's just from 

Studio City annual Hospital the overnight care I paid cash that was a couple hundred 

and then Sherman Oaks Veterinary the first place I took her to was a little over 300 you have those bills those are 

all the bills that's the overnight all right here's this actually this is the total total gr and then 

here's Sherman Oaks Veterinary Group thank 

you I have 178 $6 does that sound right 

um I don't know I didn't ask between these two bills yeah okay there's who's going to speak Mr Mrs Ka I am tell me 

what happened on that day we were at home we had finished our dinner and then 

we went out to get my daughter's booster seat out of my husband's car and we brought the dog out with us she comes 

out with us often times and stays right near us or she'll go p and come back but she was not on a leash she was not on on 

a leash so so she walked out with us we walked to the car which was about 10 

steps from our front door open the door pulled out the booster Mark went around to the trunk of his car to open up the 

trunk and looked on the sidewalk and our dog had her cat by the Scruff of the 

neck walking gingerly towards us as if she had found something injured and brought it to us and I even reached out 

and I pet the cat cat felt dry bone dry fine didn't even have any indication 

then anything was wrong looked up at me and I thought well I don't know why she even brought it over she's never done 

that and we we started to walk away the cat got up and started to walk towards the house and when she was walking I 

thought she looked a little funny so I thought well let me check and see maybe this is the way the cat is or maybe 

there's a problem so I picked up the cat and she still hadn't said anything we hadn't heard anything seen anything I 

picked her up and I went to Candace's front door I knocked there was no answer I heard watering in the backyard so went 

to the gate I yelled out about four times to Candice before she answered and I said I think there's something wrong 

with your C but I'm not sure can you come to the front you know come let me in and she said the gates locked I'll go 

in the front door I'll come out she came to the door uh after just a couple of 

minutes and she looked at the cat she said oh my God what's wrong with the cat is the cat dead and I said I don't know 

what's wrong with the cat Gabby brought her to us and and and I don't know what's wrong and and I tend to be a calm 

person by nature so I wasn't melodramatic about it and and all of a sudden she said oh my God the her 

tongue's out and then she cand started oh my God is she dead is she going and she just with the tears and screaming 

and carrying on and she was very upset which I could understand being a pet owner you get upset if there's something 

wrong with it so I took Candice to the vets with her cat and at that time the 

the vet had said it could be it it appears to be a puncture she could have been hurt it could have been from an 

animal you know bite whatever but but they didn't know so they took her back 

to stabilize her and it wasn't until the next day or the day after she came over 

with bills and handed them to Mark and Mark said you know what is this Judge Judy continues in a moment you know how 

long it takes to hang somebody well it takes a while less than 2 

minutes real cases real people Judge Judy CST your M play names her 

neighbor's dog killed her cat and wants topi and Mark Kaplan to pay all the vet bills M Germain I have a few questions 

for you I have to get the logistics was your cat within a confined area she was 

just on the um no she wasn't she was just on the other side of the fence and 

you do your two properties AB but each other yes our driveways between the two yards so that your cat was outside of an 

enclosed area and your dog was yard outside of an enclosed area outside of 

out of an enclosed area and when we saw her she was on the sidewalk in the front her dog went into my yard but you didn't 

see that there are many dogs in our front yard all the time I say that my cat cuz she's an indoor cat and she had 

accidentally G out never leaves that top of that driveway she does not walk around the front of the 

yard cuz she's usually in the backyard you know we're talking about mrm we're really talk what we're really talking 

about is there is a certain responsibility that you have when you let a pet whatever that pet is outside 

without a leash or a cat outside without being confined to an area what I was 

trying to ascertain was whether there was any proof that their 

dog somehow got into your fenced property where this cat was no and there 

is none so the next question is is did the dog actually do the damage to 

this cat now I want you to describe to me how this German Shepherd came to you with this cat in his mouth well she was 

she I'm sorry she was carrying the cat by the Scruff of the neck like a female dog would carry its pups and the cat was 

just sitting there she wasn't trying to get away she wasn't doing anything she was just carrying she doesn't know there 

was no sound there was no Skirmish there was no anything going on and the dog walked right up to Mark right up to him 

like you know there there's something wrong here well you know sometimes I have seen dogs I don't know whether you 

have come in with squirrels come in with all kinds of little creatures outside to sort of bring home a gift that's right 

home to their owner look what I have for you and they use they're not bringing 

that home to say listen this is an injured pet and I'm coming to you because I want you to fix it they're 

coming to you and saying I have a trophy right to give you because I love you w 

that's what they're saying I this would have been the first time she brought this trophy she's never she's never this 

would be the first trophy that she'd ever brought home in the two years that we've had her she ever brought home just 

hey no has she ever brought home a sick pet for you to help nothing so she has 

never brought home a sick pet for you to help which is really what you want Su she never carries anything ever in her 

mouth she won't even fetch a ball she won't do anything she did this time she did she did this time right and so 

you your supposition that she was bringing you home a sick pet to show you 

that she had brought home an injured animal is merely supposition I want to tell you right now that it strikes me 

more likely that for whatever reason she was bringing home a trophy to her owners 

and unfortunately the trophy well was period of time that it was there and and 

the you know how long it takes to hang somebody well it takes a while less than 2 minutes Judge Judy is ready to rule 

and later today I actually I feel sorry for her new boyfriend cuz she's probably going to ruin him like she has me 

so real cases real people Judge Judy Toby and Mark Kaplan say they shouldn't 

be held responsible for the death of Candace Germaine's cat that any dog in the neighborhood could have been respons 

responsible not just their German Shepherd I'm not a German Shepherd 

psychiatrist and I'm not a behavioral scientist so I can't tell you what German Shepherds usually 

do all I can tell you is you have a dog that you've just told me never did anything like this before 

right but did it now it carried a cat to me yes and so based upon the proof that I 

have which is she had a live cat with no 

problem and your dog brought her cat your big German Shepherd brought her 

little Himalayan cat in the mouth the cat suffered trauma cat didn't 

survive it appears to me that I am satisfied by the required Quantum of 

proof in these proceedings which doesn't have to be proofed Beyond a reasonable doubt it has to be proofed by a what we 

call a preponderance of the evidence you know more evidence than not your dog 

caused these injuries so you're responsible for these bills I would also suggest to you that when you have a big dog and now you have a big dog that for 

one reason or another brought you prey once that you see to it that that dog is 

not with let out without a leash even for a minute unless it's in your enclosed property because you never can 

tell a dog that is perfectly fine for years and years all of a sudden goes off like that so I am satisfied that the 

injuries that are C were caused to her cat which resulted in the cat's death and the subsequent medical bills that 

she is responsible for were a result of what your dog did and I'm awarding the 

plaint of $1,786 thank you that's all I excuse you may step out I'm than to your right sure 

thank you we wanted to keep peace in the neighborhood and not have problems and 

it hasn't been since this incident in the the the rudess towards us from them 

the cold shoulders that which is understandable though and then uh sprinklers shooting up over our cars 

that are on our yard that AR haven't been fixed in loud music that vibrates our house and everything and so you know 

they're they're just rude to Us's on Bonnet versus Roberts step forward 

35-year-old engineer Ronald benett is suing his ex-wife sandre Roberts over a 

check that bounced Mr Bonnet the defendant has been served in this action 

and has not appeared so I'm prepared to enter a default judgment in your favor sir but before I do there are several 

questions that I have yes ma'am according to your complaint the defendant who is your 

ex-wife uh borrowed money from you well actually wasn't borrowed she asked for 

the checks or she gave me checks because she needed the cash immediately and her why would first of all why would you 

lend your ex-wife money in the first place well she was living with me after uh why 

well she has a 2-year-old son who well actually 5 years old now he's two years old and I first met him he doesn't have 

a biological father of record so I become he called me his father and I'm very attached to the little boy so I 

went and um allowed her to come back and live with me for you little boy's sake because she come back from wherever 

Missori I believe it was and uh until she found a place of her own a stay with 

me how long did she stay with you oh it was uh about 3 months till about January 

and then an incident occurred where she started having a lot of her male friends calling in the middle of the night and 

she'd talk to them for hours uh she wasn't providing anything around the house she was like basically living with 

as if I was you know a parent or something taking care of her and so I asked her to leave and then uh she got 

violent one day on the car is picking her up from work she didn't have a vehicle at the time she took the mirror 

off and started hitting me with it so I said you have to leave you have to go and it's not good for environment of 

your son so she got an apartment and all well she started getting behind in her bills because she for whatever reason 

and she basically wanted either come back to live with me or you know she needed help with her bills so for the 

little boy's sake and I still have feelings for her I mean I know in my head that um you know it never work out between us I still care for her and I 

adore the the child so do you visit with the child I was up until recently until 

all this mess with the checks go and so I haven't seen them quite a while that's 

too bad yes it is little boy and then I feel sorry for myself of course Judge 

Judy continues in a moment how much did you give her that 

she failed to okay what it was was uh at the time I didn't even have M but she needed $250 immediately for her rent in 

cash so she wrote me a check out but I didn't have the cash in my account at the time and she needed that 

that I finally agreed to give it to her so I went to National Check Cashers and they have a $37.50 charge so she wrote 

me a check for the $ 250 plus the additional 3750 and then she told me about her car being in the shop and she 

couldn't get her car out unless she had the money for it and it was additional 250 so we went to her car shop and I 

wred 250 and she told me at that time she says well I get paid Saturday this like on Thursday she said the money will 

be good by Monday so she wrote me in a second check for 250 which is what I wrote out to the C dealership and I have 

all all this information here so so far I'm up to 537 50 right and so it comes the Monday 

so I held up I didn't really need the money at that time so I held up to the MonDay go to the her bank and I ask him 

I said you have the money in the account no we don't so then I try getting a hold of her she's avoids my calls and uh but 

she still owes you the money she stopped pay according to your paper she stopped payment on these checks well why eventually then I deposited check I was 

trying to do is prevent her from getting her uh bounce check charges and from me getting them so all told including sir 

the fees for these checks being stopped came to 

$62 right well that could included the mirror because one of the things I was asking for was that she reimbursed because then when I got upset with this 

and she promised she would never hit me with the mirror and stuff again then she turned around and uh then she did this 

with the check so I said well I'm going to go for a reimbursement of where you broke the mirror that doesn't count the medical payments of where she injured me 

with the mirror how did she injure you with the mirror oh she when she broke it off it she started beating me with it 

where oh about my well I put my hands up so I have about my wrist and uh and arms and stuff Mr Barnette you better put a 

period to the end of this relationship oh it's already happened okay judgment in this case is for the plaintiff in the 

amount of $62 the amount of his request thank you sir excuse step out and 

on
