Tusseling With a Tenant

[@marleonetti7]

the female was most likely long gone by the time this case went to court . most people who rent rooms in general only stay for just a few months . but i will say that ALL of them were not 100 percent honest , not even the female because she had to take the side of the homeowner or she would have been kicked out too . and i think what most likely happened is that both the defendant and the plaintiff were somewhat attracted to to female and the defendant wanted to kick the plaintiff out to get rid of the competition . she lied to the cops so she would not get kicked out of the house at that time . i base all this on my personal experience with the type of people who usually rent rooms and rent rooms out .

[@shelberz1]

This.

[@lraoux]

The female tenant did leave. She had 7 cats (!), and found it unsuitable to live with this maniac. Please get it out of your head that there was anything going on between me and her. There was not. I advised this a**hole against bringing in a female, but he did so anyway. Bottom line, I was never attracted to her, and his sexual accusations are a low blow.

[@StellaChristelle]

*Note- The female roommate testified in court on behalf of Lawrence, who was then found Not Guilty of all charges.

[@lloydsumpter7735]

I can't believe the number of people who come into People's Court without ANY backup evidence. This case hinges on what happened with the female tenant, and NEITHER complainants have any affidavits, testimony, or even police reports from her.

WHAT? The defendant enters the plaintiff's room in the middle of the night, yet says the plaintiff ambushed him, ha ha ha. But since we know that the defendant lied about a knife, he did get the plaintiff arrested with malice and therefore the plaintiff should have been compensated for that...

[@al5945]

Not sure which episode you watched, but we don't know for sure if the defendant lied. It's highly suspicious the WAY he told his tale to the police officer, but that doesn't mean his tale was factual inaccurate. 🤷 Suspicious indeed, but not definitive.

[@marleonetti7]

i dont think he lied about the pocket knife because the handle of a pocket knife would break a facial orbital bone alot easier than just a fist unless its done by a professional fighter . but having said that , this was mutual combat and i believe they were fighting over the female , they BOTH wanted her .

[@marleonetti7]

@@al5945 the picture of his facial injury convinced me that the handle of a pocket knife was used , because a naked fist cannot easily cause that type of major facial injury just from one or two punches from a guy who is not a pro fighter .

[@barbaraness4507]

The defendant has next to zero eye contact while the judge is asking him questions. He’s also rocking back and forth. These can be signs of lying,&&/or psych issues.

[@rayannesheahan7908]

Milan! Why does it matter if the guy wasn’t prescribed a pain killer?? Tylenol and ibuprofen is all that’s given after child birth… that doesn’t mean damage wasn’t done and pain wasn’t incurred. Found that to be a strange question

[@shirleywiese5230]

Me too. I have very high pain tolerance. When I’m prescribed pain pills, I rarely take them

[@Kat-bu3bn]

I found it very suspicious because an orbital fracture is very painful. Part of your face is broken. That’s what I took away from that. What I don’t understand is why she didn’t ask him for medical records. That would have been his proof right there.

[@GodismyFortressandmyDeliverer]

Not to mention the majority of doctors have not been prescribing pain medicine since 2019 when the "Opiate" epidemic propaganda started being pushed. There is no doubt that there was an epidemic, but it was illicit Fentanyl and Oxycontin being shipped in from China, across the southern border with illegal immigrants (which were drug mules posing as asylees), and the Canadian border. Not to mention through several ports of call. Many individuals suffer from chronic conditions that induce chronic pain, and they are left without any solution to their predicaments while many doctors are in prison, stripped of their licenses all for taking care of their patients legally and medically appropriately. I agree that the matter of whether or not he was prescribed a painkiller has very little bearing on whether or not the damage was done since prescribing painkillers is not necessarily the first mode of treatment being given nowadays.

[@amandabrown6565]

If that type of damage was done as he says, he would have been prescribed a very strong pain killer. Tylenol wouldn't do anything if he really had a fractured orbital bone and all that other stuff he said. He didn't even need stitches. So I think she asked that because if that type of damage really occurred, he would have been on more then just Tylenol. Also, here they do give pain meds after you give birth. They give them to you while you're in the hospital and send you home with some. They do give the lowest dose and low quantity unless you have a C-section.

[@aerotaken5357]

​@Kat-bu3bn She didn't ask for his evidence of medical records because it was a moot point - the statute of limitations had already expired before he filed his counterclaim. I also think she's seen/heard cases in her career with orbital fractures & has been told by experts how painful it is & what painkiller is typically prescribed.

[@gregshell8570]

Only thing I noticed is the tenant looked straight forward when he testified and the landlord did not make eye contact. Guess we will never know but I don't trust the landlord.

[@yung1717]

OK, I have a disability and I hate the word disabled, but differently abled is 10,000 times worse.

[@lraoux]

I totally understand! But it’s better than another alternative, which is “having a disease.” Makes it sound contagious, when neither visual impairment nor epilepsy fall under that category. Best is “I have a disability,” but I 100% agree with you, to hear her say “differently abled” was super annoying. Best of luck~

She probably read their court papers and any declarations, police reports, pictures, proofs, etc so she just needed to ask questions for clarifications. She would have them re-state the “fight” or “eviction” to see if they mess up in their stories or whether she believes the Plaintiff or Defendant more than the other. But it does get annoying because as viewers we see it as the parties are always getting “cut off” and we don’t get the whole story because we never read the entire case like the Judge probably did or has access to. But I’m sure if they showed everything, the show would end up with a Part 2, 3, 4 etc and that’s too long for a court case TV. lol
