00:00You sold the car to her husband.
00:03Correct.
00:03Did he make any payment?
00:05I do not recall.
00:06I have the text here.
00:09Oh.
00:10Speak.
00:12Speak.
00:13I don't know what to say, Your Honor.
00:14You lied to me once.
00:16I don't like you.
00:17So you better get it together.
00:19This is Judy Justice.
00:30I don't know what to say, Your Honor.
01:00Mr. Colton, it is your claim that the defendant owes you the balance of a car that you originally sold to her husband.
01:06Correct, Your Honor.
01:08Okay.
01:08I read your complaint.
01:10I read her answer.
01:10There's a real paucity of hard information in your complaint.
01:15One of the things that's lacking is the month, day, and year you sold your car to her husband.
01:22I had sold that in May of 2020.
01:26I don't know the exact day, but it was two months prior.
01:29What you're telling me is you sold the car to her husband in May of 2020.
01:372020.
01:38Is that correct?
01:39No.
01:39He had sold it to him in March because he had been making payments and he had only had one payment left with him.
01:48That's not correct, Your Honor.
01:49I'd like to see proof that you sold her husband the car in May of 2020.
01:55What kind of car was it?
01:57It was a 2006 Dodge Charger sedan.
02:00And I don't have any proof of...
02:01Just a second.
02:032006 Dodge Charger sedan.
02:05Did it have any particular model number?
02:08I do not know, Your Honor.
02:09I do have a picture of it.
02:10I don't want to see a picture.
02:12Is it a Dodge?
02:14It's just a Dodge Charger sedan.
02:17When did you purchase it?
02:19I purchased it in the spring of 2020 from a supervisor for the...
02:25Just a second.
02:25You purchased it in the spring of the same year.
02:28Well, the spring is May.
02:30You purchased it from whom?
02:32My supervisor that both myself and the defendant's husband had worked for.
02:37Okay.
02:37It was a story of that construction.
02:38How much did you pay for it?
02:39$4,000.
02:41When you say the spring of 2020, give me the month.
02:45March.
02:46So you bought it in March of 2020 for $4,000 and you sold it to the defendant's husband in May of 2020.
02:56How much did you sell it to him for?
02:58He told me he wanted...
02:59Nope!
03:00That's a number.
03:01He starts with a letter.
03:03How much did you sell it for?
03:06$4,000.
03:07So you bought it for $4,000.
03:09You sold it for $4,000.
03:11Correct.
03:12Now, did you pay the supervisor $4,000 in cash or did you owe him money?
03:17Cash.
03:18All up front.
03:19But when you sold it to the defendant's husband for $4,000, he was going to make payments.
03:25Correct.
03:26What was the down payment?
03:28He gave me $500.
03:29And what was he supposed to pay periodically, monthly, weekly?
03:35$2,50 a month.
03:36So he bought it in May.
03:37Did he make June's payment of $2,50?
03:40He might have, Your Honor.
03:41I don't have any record of it just because it's a completely different contract that I made with him and her.
03:46Not to me!
03:50Do you understand?
03:51Yes, Your Honor.
03:52So you better get it together.
03:55Yes, Your Honor.
03:55And if that takes some time for you to take a breath, take a breath.
04:00He gave you $500 in May of 2020.
04:06Correct, Your Honor.
04:07Did he pay you $2,50 in June?
04:10Yes, Your Honor.
04:10Did he pay you $2,50 in July?
04:14That one he had missed.
04:15Missed.
04:16Did you take the car back?
04:18No, Your Honor.
04:18Nope!
04:19Did he make a payment in August?
04:22No, Your Honor.
04:23Did he make any other payment?
04:25He made one or two other payments the exact time.
04:28I do not recall, but he would not show up for work.
04:31He would not text me, call me so I could just-
04:33You understand something, Mr. Colton.
04:35If what you are suggesting to me, which is what she suggested,
04:40but I actually thought she was crazy when she suggested this in the answer,
04:43because this is what happened.
04:45At some point, the car was impounded.
04:47Ms. Cassidy said that when the car was impounded,
04:52her husband was only a short amount of funds shy of having paid you.
04:58So let's go to the month and year that the car was impounded.
05:04So, so far, he's paid you $750 that you remember,
05:09and maybe one or two other payments.
05:11Is that what you said to me?
05:12Yes, Your Honor.
05:13Which is another, if I believe you, which I don't.
05:16$500.
05:18So, so far, that's $1,250.
05:21Now, in what month and year was the car impounded?
05:26September of 2020.
05:28So clearly, if the car was impounded in September of 2020,
05:33and he bought the car in May of 2020,
05:38he paid you the $250 in June of 2020.
05:41You said he made two other payments,
05:46which would have been July and August of 2020.
05:49Yes, Your Honor.
05:50That's $1,250.
05:53After that, the car was impounded.
05:55Correct.
05:57Mr. Colton, and I assume that you can tell
06:00that I'm not crazy about you,
06:03because you lied to me first.
06:06You lied to me once.
06:08I don't like you.
06:09Nikolai Colton claims his former co-worker's wife,
06:24Mika Cassidy,
06:25owes for the balance of a car
06:27after purchasing it from Nikolai.
06:30Mika is countersuing for the title to the car.
06:33You said he'd made two other payments,
06:36which would have been July and August of 2020.
06:40Yes, Your Honor.
06:41That's $1,250.
06:44After that, the car was impounded.
06:47Correct.
06:47So far, is that correct?
06:50No, Your Honor.
06:50He was making $500 payments to him.
06:53Okay.
06:54I would like to see proof.
06:56I have...
06:57No, no, no.
06:57I would like to see proof
06:59that your husband was making $500 payments to him,
07:03not the $250.
07:04I have the...
07:05Good.
07:06...the text here that he had $500 left.
07:08Just a second.
07:09To show that it was a payment.
07:10Oh, Mr. Colton.
07:22Nicoli, that's you.
07:24What's up, man?
07:24Hey, I didn't ask when I handed you today's payment,
07:27but we got $500 left, right?
07:29And you responded,
07:30Yep.
07:32I'll bring the title next week.
07:36Mr. Colton.
07:38Speak.
07:38Speak.
07:38I don't know what to say, Your Honor.
07:42What do you want to say?
07:44You want to say I made a mistake?
07:46Because I made a mistake, but...
07:47Clearly, I made a mistake.
07:50So he owed you a balance
07:52as of July 2020,
07:56July 22nd, 2020,
07:59of $500,
08:00and you told him you would bring the title
08:02the following week.
08:05Then the car got impounded.
08:08In September.
08:10He didn't make,
08:12clearly,
08:13August's payment.
08:14Because then he would have been paid off.
08:17Now, Mr. Colton,
08:18I want you to put on your truth face.
08:21Do you understand?
08:22Truth face.
08:23Yes, Your Honor.
08:24When the car got impounded,
08:27he owed you $500.
08:29Now I'm putting it all together.
08:31You and his wife
08:33had a conversation
08:34about getting the car out of impound.
08:38I want to hear, not this.
08:40Yes, Your Honor.
08:41That's what I want to hear.
08:42And now you're going to tell me,
08:44because you didn't want to tell me before,
08:46you said,
08:47I don't want to deal with the contract
08:48I had with her husband.
08:50That was over.
08:50He didn't pay August's payment.
08:53And now the truth face,
08:55Mr. Colton,
08:56is that he owed $500.
08:58He hadn't paid it in August.
08:59Did you ever give him the title?
09:01No, Your Honor.
09:02Where is it?
09:04Give it to Kevin.
09:12So, so far,
09:13you're owed $500 on this car.
09:17You had bought it one month.
09:19You sold it the next month.
09:21You were gracious with her husband,
09:24because you paid cash for it.
09:25But you let him pay it out.
09:28But he was paying it out.
09:30Now tell me what the contract was with his wife.
09:34I tried reaching out to her husband multiple times,
09:37and then she...
09:38Just a second.
09:38Tell me what the contract was with his wife.
09:42Ms. Cassidy had reached out to me.
09:45I have text messages, phone calls.
09:47She called me saying,
09:49I understand my husband is behind on payments.
09:52Let's scratch out the contract he had made with you
09:56and make a completely new one.
09:59And I need to get this car out,
10:01because I got my purse in there,
10:03medical records from her work.
10:05So can we please meet up today and get it out?
10:08So I say, okay, I'll draw up a contract.
10:11She has signed the contract.
10:13I'd like to see it.
10:14While I'm taking a look at this, Mr. Colton,
10:21and I assume that you can tell that I'm not crazy about you,
10:25because you lied to me first.
10:29You lied.
10:30So anybody who lies to me once,
10:33fool me once, shame on you.
10:35Fool me twice, shame on me.
10:37I don't want to hear it.
10:40It can't be as important as what he wants to say.
10:42Well, it's part of the conversation.
10:44I don't care about a conversation.
10:46Well, it has to.
10:46She was there for the contract.
10:47I don't care.
10:48He had two numbers.
10:49Do you have to understand something?
10:51I don't care about your conversation.
10:57You lied to me once.
10:59I don't like you.
11:00Because the next thing that you tell me,
11:02you're going to tell me with the same look in your eye,
11:04is you told me that he was making $250 a month payments,
11:08which was a lie, which you wanted me to believe.
11:11And you said it with the same look that you're giving me right now,
11:14which is I want you to believe me what I'm saying.
11:17Do you understand?
11:18That's what I do for a living.
11:21So now, before I look at this,
11:23she called you and said the car was impounded.
11:26Had you left it out in the street?
11:28We had gotten pulled over,
11:30and it was because he hadn't given us anything
11:32to be able to register the car.
11:34Okay.
11:35Well, your husband hadn't made the final payment.
11:38Right.
11:39Okay.
11:39I want to ask you a question
11:40before I'm going to have Kevin go over to the plaintiff.
11:45Did you pay,
11:47after the car was taken out of impound,
11:50did you make any payments to the plaintiff?
11:53I did.
11:54And what amount?
11:56I have proof of those, too.
11:57I believe it adds up to almost $1,750
11:59because he kept asking for more and more.
12:02Okay, just a second.
12:03Mr. Colton.
12:05Yes, Your Honor.
12:06As of today,
12:07how much money has the defendant given you
12:11after the car was removed from impound?
12:13$1,270, Your Honor.
12:15Okay.
12:17So, so far,
12:20you got $3,500 from her husband.
12:27Right.
12:28That's according to your tax.
12:30You got $3,500 from her husband.
12:33Plus, according to you,
12:36she may have different figures.
12:37She may show them to me.
12:39In which case,
12:39you wouldn't want me to find you lying again, right?
12:42No, Your Honor.
12:43So, she paid you $1,270.
12:45Is that correct?
12:47Yes, Your Honor.
12:49So, so far,
12:50you've got $4,700
12:52for this car that you paid $4,000 for
12:57in the spring of 2020.
12:59Correct?
13:00Correct.
13:02You sign a contract
13:03and you're bound by it.
13:05Except if the terms of the contract
13:07are so unconscionable
13:08that it shocks the conscience of the court
13:12because you actually took advantage of her.
13:27Nikolai Colton
13:28has accused his former co-worker's wife,
13:31Mika Cassidy,
13:32of breaching their contract
13:34on a Dodge Charger.
13:35Mika says the car
13:36has already been paid in full.
13:39Now, according to you,
13:41she may have different figures.
13:43She may show them to me.
13:44In which case,
13:45you wouldn't want me to
13:46find you lying again, right?
13:48No, Your Honor.
13:49So, she paid you $1,270.
13:51Is that correct?
13:52Yes, Your Honor.
13:54So, so far,
13:56you've got $4,700
13:58for this car
14:00that you paid $4,000 for
14:02in the spring of 2020.
14:05Correct?
14:05Correct.
14:06How much did it cost you
14:07to get the car out of impound?
14:10$381.
14:10It's also on the contract.
14:12Just a second.
14:13Who paid for that?
14:15My wife did.
14:16And then I paid them back for that.
14:17And they have proof of that.
14:18Just a second.
14:20It's your husband?
14:21Did you get paid back
14:22from the impound
14:23by the defendant?
14:25That's a yes or a no?
14:27You got paid back for that.
14:29But it took time.
14:31So, so far,
14:32you're ahead $700.
14:33Now, I'm going to read
14:35this contract
14:36that you had her sign,
14:37but I'm going to go back
14:38and have Whitney read back to me
14:41what you say
14:44she said to you
14:45when she said,
14:48I need to get this car
14:49out of impound
14:50because I have things in it.
14:54And you said she called you,
14:55and I want to hear
14:56right from the beginning
14:57of what he said.
14:58He said,
14:59Miss Cassidy
15:00had reached out to me.
15:01I have text messages,
15:02phone calls.
15:03She called me saying,
15:04I understand.
15:05My husband is behind
15:06on payments.
15:07Let's scratch out
15:07the contract he had made
15:09with you
15:09and make a completely new one.
15:11And I need to get
15:12this car out
15:13because I got my purse
15:14in there,
15:14medical records
15:15from her work,
15:16so we can please
15:17meet up today
15:17and get it out.
15:18So I said,
15:19okay,
15:19I'll drop the contract.
15:21Just a second.
15:22So,
15:22would you say
15:23she sounded desperate
15:24to you?
15:26Yes, Your Honor.
15:26Yes.
15:28To get my things out.
15:29Jump, jump.
15:30I didn't ask you
15:30for anything.
15:31So far,
15:31does it sound like
15:32you're losing?
15:33No.
15:34Your Honor.
15:35So she sounded
15:36desperate to you.
15:38Now I'm going to read
15:39the contract
15:40you had her sign.
15:44Kevin,
15:44I'd like you
15:45to take the title
15:46over to the plaintiff
15:48and have him sign it.
15:51Sign it.
15:53Go.
15:54Write it.
15:54Make sure he signs it
15:58in both places
15:59that he has to,
16:00Kevin.
16:03There you go.
16:06Give it to her.
16:09Please.
16:12So,
16:13you have a contract
16:14with her
16:14and so far,
16:15as far as I'm concerned,
16:16you've been paid
16:17for this car.
16:18You've been paid
16:19for the car
16:19plus $700
16:20for your time
16:21and I'm in trouble
16:21because he didn't
16:22make one payment
16:23and you had to go
16:23down to impound.
16:25So the only way
16:26that I can void
16:26this contract
16:27is to find
16:28that it's unconscionable,
16:29which I find.
16:31I find that it is
16:32an unconscionable contract
16:33because the contract
16:35that you had her sign
16:36in order to get
16:37her medical records,
16:38her work product,
16:39and her purse
16:39out of the car
16:40was one
16:41that started
16:42all over again
16:43the $4,000.
16:46Do you understand?
16:47It's an unconscionable contract.
16:49And people
16:52who can lie
16:52when they're under oath
16:53can also do
16:54unconscionable contracts.
16:55That's why courts
16:56have the ability
16:57to say,
16:58in most instances,
17:00contracts
17:00that people sign,
17:01even if they
17:02appear to be
17:03unfair
17:04to one party
17:06or another,
17:07you sign a contract
17:08and you're bound
17:08by it.
17:10Except
17:10if the terms
17:11of the contract
17:12are so unconscionable
17:14that it
17:15shocks
17:16the conscience
17:17of the court
17:17because you
17:19actually took
17:19advantage of her.
17:21She needed
17:22to get stuff
17:22out of the car
17:23and instead
17:24of saying,
17:24listen,
17:25I'll be reasonable.
17:27My day
17:28was shot
17:28going to impound.
17:29You have to pay
17:30for my day,
17:31$500.
17:32And you pay off
17:33the other $500
17:34that your husband
17:35still owes on the car.
17:36That's $1,000.
17:37You didn't do that.
17:40You said,
17:40you want your things
17:41out of the car?
17:42You have to sign this
17:42that we're going to
17:43start all over again
17:44and completely
17:45disregard
17:46what your husband
17:48paid me
17:48for the car
17:49already.
17:51And that,
17:52sir,
17:52is unconscionable.
17:53Your case is dismissed.
17:54We're done.
17:55Court is adjourned.
17:58I always thought
17:59it was just dumb.
18:00I'm glad that she
18:00could see through it.
18:01Well,
18:01because I couldn't even
18:02say what was actually
18:03needed to be said.
18:05I had to sell it quick,
18:06so my husband said,
18:06I'll take it.
18:07So I made an agreement.
18:08Well,
18:08it was two different contracts.
18:10I don't know why
18:11he would think
18:11I would sign over
18:12a whole new contract
18:13to pay $8,000
18:14for a car
18:14that was worth $1,500.
18:16She had said,
18:17let's void the contract.
18:18Let's go with
18:19a complete new contract.
18:21I got pulled over
18:21because the lights
18:22were melting in the back.
18:24Because they were
18:24being reckless.
18:25They got pulled over
18:26for speeding
18:26or who knows what.
18:27It wasn't anything
18:28to do with speeding
18:28or being reckless.
18:29So it's on them,
18:31but if it never
18:32got impounded...
18:33I ended up,
18:34after I got impounded,
18:35I said,
18:35we're not going to lose
18:35it over $500,
18:36so I decided to call him
18:37and tell him
18:38I'd take over the payments.
18:39I did not say anything
18:40about a new contract.
18:41We would never be here.
18:42I probably would never
18:42have heard back from them.
18:43What he did is
18:44he bought it from
18:44their boss together.
18:46The husband and the wife
18:47don't like to text.
18:48They don't like to call.
18:49It'd be months in between
18:50before I even hear it
18:51from anybody.
18:52Always do it in writing.
18:53Make sure you get proof
18:54for proof that you
18:54make payments.
18:55So she wanted to do
18:56a new contract,
18:58but it is it,
18:59but it is at the end.
19:00And that everything
19:00is in writing.
19:02Don't trust anybody.
19:03So I was trying
19:04to think of saying
19:06that sometimes people
19:09forget.
19:10You know,
19:10your grandmother says it
19:11and then it doesn't
19:12pass down generations.
19:13But that guy
19:15and the situation
19:16there reminded me of,
19:18so I picture my grandmother
19:20saying to me,
19:21you know,
19:22pigs get slaughtered.
19:23And not being
19:27a good human being
19:28and taking advantage
19:31of what he did.
19:33And the worst defense
19:35of the world
19:35is lying to me.
19:36The worst.
19:37Because if you lie to me,
19:40I presume that you think
19:42that I'm stupid.
19:43And that's a very bad way
19:46to do that.
19:46Oh, the worst place to be.
19:47That's the worst place to be.
19:49So, and the contract
19:50was unconscionable.
19:52And it was done
19:52under real duress.
19:54According to him,
19:55she didn't have
19:55to open her mouth.
19:56I need my car.
19:57I need my medical files.
19:59I need my work files.
20:00My purse is in the car
20:01when it was outrageous.
20:04You know,
20:05just outrageous
20:06and unconscionable.
20:07And fortunately,
20:08the law does give you
20:09an out as a judge
20:10if something is unconscionable
20:11to avoid it.
20:12Mm-hmm.
