[@victoriatabone488]

The plaintiff got what she wanted but was too stupid to understand what was being said to her. She wanted to sign over the title of the jeep rather then pay them $4800, and that’s exactly what happened! She was just to frazzled to calm down and HEAR what was being said

[@texasplayboy23]

[@damieg82]

I'm confused... so the defendants were such lousy workers, yet she sold them a Jeep on terms, allowed them to drive her Mercedes, rented them a car, and was going to gift them a Camry?! On top of all that, she paid roughly $1000 of an over $5000 wage bill, and according to her testimony, employed them for about 20 days at the minimum, despite them basically not having worked a single entire day. It's clear she thinks she was taken advantage of, and quite possibly was, but her lack of evidence and repetitive gifting of access to vehicles, doesn't support her claims, so I'm really not sure what she expects a judge to do for her.

[@SpaceIsThePlace_]

I believe the plaintiff when she said they were unproductive, lousy workers. How does it take 30+ days to move stuff out of one house? I understand that her father had a ton of stuff, but it shouldn’t take that long especially if they were working the long hours that they said they did

[@ncqueenbee9838]

Clearly she was trying to barter with them, vehicles in exchange for work. She messed up by not keeping track of anything. It only take a few seconds to jot down what time they arrived and what time they left, then deduct the amount she paid them as well as the amount from the price of the vehicles. Crazy case indeed.

[@JamieM470]

@@ncqueenbee9838 The plaintiff said at one point that she had the times he arrived (worked?) written down, but JJ didn't want to see it. I think they were friends, and that's why it was all so loosey-goosey. The defendant's daughter & her fugitive boyfriend lived there while they helped the plaintiff move stuff. The plaintiff bought their food & gave them use of utilities, etc for free, also gave them money here & there that she stupidly did not keep track of. Dude wrecked her mercedes then had her jeep impounded. I think the whole thing started as friends helping friends & turned into a huge mess.

[@brt5273]

It doesn't make sense that she would get that entangled with them and keep them on if they were not working.

[@jaysleeper264]

Its odd that, even using her estimate, they worked 20 days and she was ok with that even though they quoted her 3 days?!?! Later she said they quoted her 3 days and it took them 3 months. Well was that 20 days spread out over three months or closer to the 45ish days the defendants claim? She was a mess...much like the hoarding situation they live in. Wish we could've got pictures!

[@brendashoun3464]

I’ve come to the conclusion that everybody on both sides are lying.

[@brt5273]

EXACTLY!

[@artistjoh]

Coming to court without evidence is a certain way to have everyone assume you are lying. I tend to think the defendants are grifters (who else has a boyfriend who gets into police chase's?) but the plaintiff was so certain of her story she doesn't understand that courts deal in evidence. Not her kind of "evidence," but the sort of hard evidence the judge was asking for.

[@brt5273]

@@artistjoh Agree about the defendants but the plaintiff also lied about the rental car contract...flat out... and there are elements that are just not right about her whole story regarding the job, the work and her whole entanglement with the defendants.

She shouldn't have lied about that Hertz contract. If you lie about one thing then anything else you can't prove word for word is called into question. She also didn't win because most of what she said didn't make sense, so she isn't credible. Why so many people are sympathetic is beyond me.

@@brt5273 So many ppl are sympathetic towards her because the defendants are sketchy losers at best and criminals at worst. And don't ask me "what's a couple more". She obviously didn't expect to have to produce that many papers due to her text message she mentioned as an admission of owing her the money. People who represent themselves in small claims court need to guess at what possible documents they will need to bring. If they don't have it, it doesn't necessarily mean they're lying, it could just mean it was an oversight.

[@buggsy64]

the plaintiff scammed those people.

[@Mybpeterson]

The plaintiff is flustered because she never expected to be asked so many questions. She's so focused on getting paid for the jeep that she was missing the big picture. She agreed to pay both defendants an hourly rate to do a job. JJ calculated it to be $2400 per person. Total of $4800. Yet she only paid them 1000. She's lucky she did not have to pay them money above and beyond handing over the title to the jeep.

[@Sidious6460]

In a way, Judy calculated that though by just inventing that it was 30 full work days, the plaintiff insists that it is not. Judy is assuming the plaintiff is lying to get there. Now the plaintiff didn't keep records so its on her to do that, but that doesn't mean the plaintiff is lying. The defendants said essentially nothing the whole case, they very well could be the ones lying here, they're getting arrested, crashing cars, etc. Who knows, but plaintiff has burden of proof and so I get it in a way. Doesn't mean that's what actually happened. The defendants could very well be the extremely lucky ones that plaintiff didn't keep better records to prove they are crooks.

[@SageKayDee]

@@Sidious6460 You clearly missed the part where she stated she picked 30 as a half point between both their estimates. She never said the Plaintiff was lying about the amount of days, she said she didn't keep records. Lol.

[@brt5273]

@@Sidious6460 I can't believe that anyone would hire someone to do a job like that, then get so entangled up with them as she admits she did for as long as she did, if they were not working regularly at it. It doesn't make sense that she would continue to keep them on for that long of a period of time if nothing was getting done. In a normal situation an employer would fire them and hire someone who would work. She also can't see, and apparently you can't either, that $1000 doesn't go very far when it's supposed to be covering the defendants, the boyfriend and multiple other people for a number of days. She admitted to 24 days and a couple hours a day. Just to cover the defendant and the daughter that's96 hours at ten dollars an hour each, which is $1920. But she also admits there were other people on "some days". That's well over the $1000 she paid, if we just go by what she admits to. So I don't believe her. In my opinion, there is something not right about the situation, moving people in with her, giving them keys to a rental car after they just smashed up the car she owned...DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. That's why JJ didn't believe her.

[@Sidious6460]

@@SageKayDee Lol I didn't miss that part 😂 That doesn't change anything about my point. The plaintiff said it was 20 days of a couple hours at a time. Totalling about 2 full work days. Also that she paid them over 1300. She is absolutely saying she thinks plaintiff lying. She used 240 hours, plaintiff said like 16 hours - how can you not see that she is therefore not believing the plaintiff. As I said, it is on her for not keeping records, that absolutely doesn't mean that she isn't telling truth, it doesn't make it right, it just means she loses her case, which is what I said.

[@Sidious6460]

@@brt5273 She said it was 2 full days of work total spread out over 20 days and she paid them over 1300. She said defendant promised it would take 3 full days. I'm not saying I believe her, I'm saying that there is no reason to believe the defendant who also had no records - as I said in a court case I understand why she had burden of proof. In reality that doesn't make plaintiff lucky, records being kept mightve shown she was telling the truth. Defendants daughter dated a criminal, they crashed one car, father was also a criminal, they had another car impounded. You clearly didn't listen to everything she said and as you say don't believe her, that's fine. Doesn't mean she isn't telling the truth. She said she was told it would be 3 days for 8 hours a day, she paid out over 1300, she said he didn't do job properly, wrecked one of her cars, had another impounded. My point is, if what defendants said is accurate - one of whom dated a criminal on the run, the other of whom was a criminal - then she is lucky, if the plaintiff was telling the truth, then the defendants ripped her off completely and the defendants are lucky she didn't keep records. It's an indisputable fact thar if plaintiff were telling the truth, she got hugely ripped off. I don't know if she was telling truth though and neither do you. I don't think her story is impossible to believe at all, she was grieving death of parents and was scatterbrained. She didn't keep records and was taken advantage. That kind of thing does happen without doubt. I don't know if it's the truth. But the defendants who have criminal pasts, don't strike me as honest in the least. I don't think she was good enough actress to play as shocked as she looked by daughters version of events if it were indeed honest.

@@doppelganger9844 This was a hoarder property. Someone hoarders have some much stuff you can’t even get into the rooms because stuff is stacked floor to sealing.

I feel sorry for this woman. Had she kept proper records she might have done better. Only grifters have boyfriends that get into police chases. It is very likely that these people were taking advantage of the situation. Which is why you supervise a job, keep records of arrival and departure times, length of lunch breaks etc., and car sales have bills of sale with payment details signed by both parties. This is not rocket science. Expecting a judge to just believe stories without physical evidence is a sure way to be a loser in court.

[@JloveLamar]

I think this was friends helping each other but she just made a poor choice by not keeping track of the times they were on the clock. Other than that. The defendants are definitely iffy!

[@brt5273]

EXACTLY! Why so many people are buying into her crazy story is beyond me! Nothing about it makes any sense.

[@carlairving]

​@@CookieWoods. Yes, they had to drive the junk she wouldn't take care of herself. Would you expect them to walk with boxes of stuff her father hoard? It would have taken a lot more time - and be quite expensive (assuming she ever planned to pay what she promised them). She could have told them: I will provide you with the car to move the junk, food and accommodation, and you will have to pay me in the end instead of the contrary, if that was what she was willing to provide. And maybe they would have taken on that offer - but I know I wouldn't have and I can't think of any sensible person who would have taken on that offer for such a hard labor. You can't expect pristine workers if you refuse to pay them appropriately and are not responsible yourself...

Do you think Judge Judy should have offered her condolences to the plaintiff because her parents died? I don't, but what do think?

[@hannah_2485]

I love the cases where the plaintiff sues the defendant for ridiculous reasons and then it blows up in their face and they end up owing them 😂

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

The icing on the cake is after it blows up in their face then ends, they're standing there like '...wait... no wait... No...'

[@annettavicckies7445]

I'm surprised judge judy didn't ask fiancée too leave

[@johnsmi213]

The case was too confusing so she kept everyone around in case they were needed for clarification. She gets annoyed with witnesses when it's clear one party is in the wrong and their witness is being snarky in an attempt to project innocence.

[@SamanthaKelly95]

I feel bad for the plaintiff. She lost both her parents, thus inheriting a crap ton of hoarded junk she needed to take care of but didn't have the funds to do so with a legit company so she jumped at the opportunity of their low-ball estimates. She wasn't in the mindset to deal with any of that due to her grief and JJ should have showed more compassion to that. The dad/daughter duo obviously were skeevy and JJ chose to ignore that (needed written evidence from the plaintiff of time worked but simply takes the dad's word for it?)

[@billybbadmollyholly7927]

Very twisted story, I think the defendants came up with the best story's!

[@wasnotme8637]

Those are the best defendants I have ever seen on the show they never once interrupted or raised their hand or Spoke without being spoken to they obviously have seen the show I think it should be a prerequisite that all litigants watch a couple of these shows to know how to act

[@Shibbylovess]

“Are you kidding me” LOLOLOLOLOLnope

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

A few conclusions of my own: 1) plaintiff was lacking documents to prove hours worked however 2) plaintiff didn't ever dream about keeping time cards because she underestimated the amount of work to move all her dad's junk 3) plaintiff is in denial of the amount of junk 4) plaintiff absolutely did not have permission from Hertz to let someone else drive the car. She was trying to pull a fast one on JJ by saying she had 'permissive driving' but we all know that is for the insurance, not for a rental car insurance is providing you while your car is being repaired 5) because she underestimated the amount of work it would be, she didn't have the cash to pay them, thus the barter for the jeep 6) defendants also underestimated the amount of work and were probably lazy but I do believe they did do most of the work 7) plaintiff has no idea where the title to that jeep is 8) defendant (girl) didn't get paid at all for the work she did, guy was awarded Jeep but where is her pay? 9) not sure why JJ didn't throw out plaintiff's witness, seems like an idiot 10) even if they didn't do all the work, this case is a good example that if you shut up and don't get on JJs bad side and just be quiet, you might just win anyway. 11) defendant (girl) knows exactly why the boyfriend was running from the law, she was in the car 🤣 Good but confusing case. I remember watching this case on its original first run air date. What struck me was just how scared and flustered the plaintiff got as the case went on.

[@defmetalhead]

The countersuit didn't ask for money, she was asking a car promised to her bf.

[@SoulDelSol]

11 not necessarily. A lot of guys keep their gf in dark about their criminal doings. I would say most guys. Or it could be that he had so many criminal matters pending that she just didnt know which one he went to jail over

Plaintiff brought no evidence and if defendants had been unproductive, she should have fired them. Or agreed on a fixed price instead of hourly.

[@Edodod]

The defendants are great people. Never did they claim to be fully innocent or anything. And yet, look at the restraint both father and daughter showed all the time. Sure, they are not "perfect", but I'm amazed how calm they remained. What a contrast with most people on this show. Father did a great task teaching his daughter.

Why would it though? The plaintiff is fighting off tears over what was obviously a painful situation involving the death of her father.

How the hell can that bring you joy?

I CANNOT BELIEVE JJ said she believes the daughter. WHAT??? They took advantage of this lady and that makes me furious. I don't mind the decision on the Jeep, because he probably has impound fees up the wazoo to pay that he likely cannot pay but the fact that they are counter-suing for garbage reasons considering the daughter got free rent AND wrecked the rental, and gawd know what else, to not have to pay SOMETHING makes NO sense to me. I would sue the guy in jail, btw.

[@tuesdae666]

No one here doubts the defendants are sketchy and probably didn't work as many hours as they said they should. But this woman made REALLY BAD CHOICES and she couldn't PROVE anything. JJ only hit her with the Jeep and nothing else, she was irritated with this woman but she was already being lenient coz she knew the defendants weren't innocent babies.

[@maxmackinlay618]

The plaintiff is also a hoarder who wanted to resell junk instead of chucking it into a dumpster. A three day job turned into a 3 week nightmare with no end in sight.

[@Nameless_mixes]

Reminder, the second that your caught intentionally committing perjury (whether to a judge or jury) in court, your credibility from there on after is completely eviscerated. In the plaintiff’s case, all of that nonsense about the insurance and the rental car was the shovel that dug her own grave.

[@SageKayDee]

She could've been telling the truth about that, you have no way of knowing she was committing perjury. She just didn't have all the documents the Judge asked her for.

[@brt5273]

THANKYOU! Why so many commenters are sympathetic with her is beyond me.

[@Demonezia]

@@SageKayDee There isn't a rental company out there that doesn't require a driver's license to document who is driving THEIR car. She may not have been lying - she may have been assuming that her insurance would cover it. Either way, she didn't have her facts straight and it cost her.

I don't see how they don't owe for towing and impound fees? Insurance wouldn't have covered that. It's just damages to the car not stupidity. Even if it was covered I doubt they would have paid because it was in a police chase. Feel bad for the lady

[@debramaddox9898]

I thought the plaintiff said the impound fees were now $2300?

[@323azteca]

I feel the plaintiff might have been telling the truth. Sounds like work was under-estimated by the defendants. Also, they seem like the type that would go to the job scene but not work. So be there for hours, chatting and wasting time. They don't seem to be expert organizers, movers nor any of the sort. But she kept letting it go. Did not keep tracked of hours, but worst yet, kept negotiating other ways to "pay" them or "help" them. I mean, she invited the girl and criminal boyfriend to live with her. I believe when she said the car was promised to the boy. I think the plaintiff in her grief just kept making bad decisions. One over the other. And these two bufoon took advantage of her. I really feel so bad for her. Was hard not to feel sorry or want to see her get well after such losses (mom and dad).

[@ShaggertSRL]

I agree. I think the defendants hustled Judge Judy and the plaintiff. Definitely some greasy people.

[@jomaro8]

JJ worked with the mess she was given. I think they were all shady, but the burden of proof is only on the plaintiff. Not only do you need to have the evidence with you, but you need to have it in order. Now...if you're lying...evidence is not going to help...at least not with this Judge. One thing I've noticed is that she is really good at interrogation. Eventually she usually gets you to tell the truth without you even realizing it.

[@RXbee2]

Wow JJ sure seemed to have a hate on for that poor woman that hired two drug addict/grifters to help her move. Did I miss the reason? I get she was disorganized but damn, those defendants were very obviously guilty af of lying and thieving

Plaintiff and her fiancé seem so delusional. Didn’t pay the defendants nearly what they pay agreement was, she only paid him part of his pay knowing he had to pay other helpers too, lent these vehicles to these people, made up some BS about her personal insurance allowing anyone to drive her rental car with hertz without her having to list them, etc. Total nonsense.

[@coniferous3132]

I mean, it's court. if your claim is "we paid them" it's obvious that the first question is going to be "how much and for what". She didn't keep records, yet she set the terms of the contract. This is common sense.

The plaintiff should’ve definitely kept records if she was paying them by the hour!!! Common sense. Now it would have been different had she said I will pay an agreed upon amount and you have this much time to get it done. That’s different cuz then she could’ve proven whether they did the work or not and in that case she wouldn’t have to keep track of how many hours each day they worked just so long as the job was done in full in the end. I would never agree to pay someone by the hour and not keep meticulous records down to the minute that they were working. I don’t believe for one second that the daughter worked from the time she woke up to the time she went to sleep every day!! Complete lie but that’s why the plaintiff should’ve kept track
