The Judge- April 10, 1989 (Sudden Impact)

High school athlete John Musso is seeking $800,000 in damages after competitor Chip Andrews seemingly blindsighted him and broke his neck during a football game in this episode of The Judge. Will he prevail or will the defendants get the case overturned for him?

1:17 - “I’m Judge Robert J. Franklin. I chose the law as my way of serving my fellow citizens. As an elected judge in the family court, I pray each day that God would give me the wisdom to always temper justice with mercy.”

[@AldenRDavis]

1:37 - “What you are about to see is a dramatization of an actual case in family court. Because of the emotional and sensitive natures of the issues are presented here, Judge Franklin’s courtroom is closed to the public. The proceedings are about to begin.”

14:05 *THAT* went too far. WAY too far. Mr. Musso, THAT might not help your son's case. Judge Franklin was right, THAT was more like a bully than an attorney.

In real life he could’ve been arrested for lying

The downside is that the Mussos lost. The upside is that John might go into sports medicine one day. Hopefully.

The intro is so damn nostalgic

[@tokusatsunerd]

Got any episodes of "Superior Court?"

[@Rlotpir1972]

This show is considered a soap opera.

[@KevinPiland]

It’s a courtroom soap opera at its best.

Of course, considering the work Christopher Reeve helped put into these types of injuries, maybe John could walk again. But this was six years before that accident happened to Superman.

[@gameshowguy2000]

So, was John's injury voluntary, then? Was his decision to participate in the game voluntary? Since Chip was acquitted, it sounds like it.

[@sha11235]

@@gameshowguy2000 It was an accident, like when Lawrence Taylor broke Joe Theismann's leg.

Mr. Musso!
