00:00...answered with these rambling letters talking about...
00:02Do you have a copy of the letters?
00:03I do.
00:04Can I see them, please?
00:13Based upon our discussion, these are your words, when he initially asked you for your money.
00:19Based upon our discussion, it was my understanding that we would discuss my opportunity to provide
00:26some type of service to you and your business in lieu of paying you $5,000 for a relatively
00:31risk-free, as you put it, bond.
00:34I am still awaiting the opportunity to make good on my offer to work for your company.
00:39As you were advised at the time the bond was posted, I have not, or do not have now, $5,000
00:44fee that you are demanding.
00:46Given the above-mentioned discussions that we had at the time of the unsecured bond was
00:51posted, I now consider your correspondence demanding $5,000 to be intimidating and threatening.
00:55What are you, crazy?
01:00Judge Judy continues in a moment.
01:02On the way to my vehicle, he makes comments about my physical appearance and he says,
01:08a pretty woman like you, maybe you can work something out.
01:10And later today...
01:11What's wrong with you?
01:12Don't you have any pride at all?
01:14Yes, ma'am.
01:14Where is it?
01:15Show me.
01:17Where is it?
01:17I left it at the house.
01:19Right!
01:19Real cases.
01:24Real people.
01:25Judge Judy.
01:27Bail bondsman Aaron McAllister says former client Elena Zadevich owes for unpaid bail money.
01:34Please do not send me any more threatening letters.
01:37You knew my financial predicament at the time bail was posted.
01:40I still intend to honor my promise to perform professional services for you.
01:43You never promised to perform professional services for him.
01:46Your own letter says, it was my understanding that we would discuss my opportunity to provide
01:53some type of service to you or your business in lieu of paying for the bond.
01:58Given the above mentioned discussions that we had at the time, I now consider your...
02:03Discussions aren't a contract, madam.
02:06Let me tell you what happened.
02:07Yeah, go ahead.
02:08Because he's not telling you the whole truth.
02:09Got it.
02:10What happened, he bails me out.
02:11Are you...
02:11Just a second.
02:12Are you telling me the whole truth?
02:14Listen.
02:15Are you telling me the whole truth?
02:16Yes.
02:17Really?
02:17Yes.
02:18About your children's living arrangements?
02:20You're telling me the whole truth?
02:21You're not talking about my children right now.
02:23I want to tell you the truth.
02:24You mean you're telling the truth?
02:25Listen to me.
02:26You're telling the truth sometimes and sometimes you can lie.
02:29And when am I supposed to tell the difference?
02:31You see, I knew that you were lying to me about your children's living situation.
02:34That you're not willing to discuss.
02:36What do you...
02:37What do you lie about?
02:38Listen to me.
02:38My question to you is, how am I supposed to tell when you're lying?
02:42And how am I supposed to tell when you're telling the truth?
02:45I do tell the truth.
02:46But you just lied to me today.
02:47About what?
02:48You lied about your children's living situation.
02:50No, I didn't.
02:51Yes, you did.
02:52How did I lie to you?
02:52Oh, yes, you did.
02:53And you know you did.
02:54You know that they live with me part-time.
02:56They live with...
02:57Part-time.
02:58They live here because I work.
03:00That's not the story.
03:02But that's a story you chose to tell me.
03:04Now, you told me that with the same veracity as you told me that you had another contract with him.
03:10And my question to you is, how am I supposed to tell when you're telling the truth and when you're lying?
03:16What I'm saying is the truth.
03:18Okay.
03:18Now I'm going to hear you and then I'll tell you what the law is.
03:21Okay.
03:21Well, he bails me out.
03:22He drives me to my vehicle.
03:24On the way to my vehicle, he makes comments about my physical appearance.
03:30And he says, well, it would be nice if a pretty woman like you worked for my company doing some sort of marketing and promoting my company.
03:39And maybe we can work something out in terms of paying for the bail bond that he posted on my behalf.
03:46So when he dropped me off by my vehicle and before he left, he made me sign the agreement that you sold.
03:54After we had the conversation of me potentially working for his company.
03:59Did you get what you said to me, madam?
04:02You just said to me, maybe you could work for my company.
04:07Maybe you could work for my company.
04:09And that's not an agreement.
04:11No, he.
04:11That's not.
04:12No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:14After that, nothing.
04:15You took that.
04:16And I believe that you said that to her.
04:18Well, maybe you could work for my company and do something.
04:19Maybe you said it to her.
04:21Who cares?
04:21It's not relevant.
04:23There was no contract.
04:24I said I couldn't work for him full time as he proposed.
04:27So he said we can work something out and you can work for me on weekends.
04:32Oh, listen to me.
04:33Listen to me.
04:34You're making it up as you're going along.
04:35No.
04:36Yes.
04:36No, I have a letter.
04:37According to what you said to me, after you had that discussion, after, not before.
04:42You see, he said you signed this at the jail.
04:44No.
04:44You say I signed it after I had the discussion with him about working with him part time, weekends, etc.
04:51If that was true, that's not contained in this agreement.
04:54No.
04:55And I believe, madam, that you are one smart cookie.
04:58And if he had this conversation with you where you made a contract with him, a contract that's enforceable, to work off the bail bond by working for him part time, you would have put it in this agreement because you were already out of jail.
05:12So then you could either say to him, I'm not signing this, or you say it's not the entire agreement that we have.
05:18But you didn't.
05:19You signed it and said, I promise to pay you $5,000.
05:22Well, he told me right there that if you don't sign it, I'm just going to put you right back to jail.
05:26That's what he told me.
05:27I don't believe you.
05:28You're making it up as you're going along.
05:30You're making it up as you're going along because if he said to you, you sign this or I'm going to take you back to jail.
05:37That's what he said.
05:37Your response would have been, well, then put in our agreement that I could work it off.
05:42Right?
05:43Right?
05:44I was very stressed.
05:46Oh, listen, it's not the first time you were arrested.
05:48That's why I asked you the question before.
05:50It's not the first time.
05:51It's probably not the second time that you were arrested.
05:54So pay him his money.
05:55You owe him his money.
05:57Don't be a con artist.
05:58Judge him for the plaintiff and the amount of $5,000.
06:00That's all.
06:01Audiences are excused.
06:02You may step out.
06:04I've offered to either work for his company.
06:06My family's been in business over 40 years.
06:08In lieu of paying for the services.
06:11And it didn't come from having criminal defendants work in my office.
06:13It was his offer initially.
06:15It's a bad deal.
06:15I'm sorry she had to go through what she went through.
06:17So he reneged on the original agreement.
06:20But I performed a service and I need to be compensated.
06:23And now the next case.
06:25All parties in the matter of Schulteis versus Britton.
06:28Step forward, please.
06:2920-year-old Lisa Schulteis is suing her former friend, 20-year-old Kelly Britton, for the money she paid to go on a two-day cruise to the Bahamas.
06:39Tell me your first name.
06:40My name is Lisa Schulteis.
06:42Kelly.
06:43You two gals used to be friends.
06:45Is that right?
06:45Yes.
06:46Yes.
06:46And at some point, Kelly, you lived with Lisa and her family?
06:50Yes, over the summer.
06:51How long had you been friends?
06:53We've been friends since fifth grade.
06:54About 10 years.
06:55This is your lawsuit.
06:57Kelly was getting married.
06:58Yes.
06:59And she prepaid non-refundable tickets, allegedly, for her honeymoon.
07:04And that was going to be where?
07:06The cruise was going to the Bahamas.
07:08Yes.
07:08And that was for you and your fiancé.
07:10Yes.
07:10And when the wedding sort of went off, you asked her if she wanted to go.
07:16Yes.
07:16Because these were non-refundable tickets.
07:18She said yes.
07:19And according to you, you paid her the $600 for the ticket.
07:24Then you had a fight.
07:26And you said, I'm not going.
07:27And I want my money back.
07:29Now, Ms. Britton says two things.
07:30She said, first, you only gave her $200.
07:33And second, you decided not to go.
07:35That doesn't mean you get your money back.
07:37Because ultimately, you did go on the trip.
07:40Yes.
07:40But you went with your mother.
07:41Mm-hmm.
07:42Other than the fact that you say that you gave her $600, is there any proof that you gave
07:46her $600?
07:46I actually bought an 18-foot diameter swim pool.
07:50It's $268.
07:52And something changed.
07:54I decided a month later that I did not want the swim pool anymore, that I would take it
07:59and use it towards the trip.
08:00So I took the swim pool back, and I handed the money to Kelly right in front of my mom.
08:06I counted $270.
08:07Okay.
08:08So that's $270.
08:09Yes.
08:09That's not $600.
08:11I also, well, my mom was there that night.
08:14So far, I have $270.
08:16I have proof if you'd like to see the receipts.
08:18Receipts from what?
08:20From the swim pool.
08:21I believe the swim pool.
08:23I believe the swim pool.
08:24The swim pool is $270.
08:26That's not $600.
08:27Yes.
08:28I'm a witness to some of it.
08:29Are you the witness to anything other than the $270?
08:32Yes.
08:32Yes, she is.
08:33Stand up.
08:34You're her mother?
08:35Yes, I am.
08:36Go ahead.
08:37I seen Lisa give her her first payment.
08:39She come home, and she handed her $70, the first payment.
08:43The second payment that I seen her give her was $60.
08:47And then the deal with the pool, it totaled like $400.
08:51I seen her.
08:51You weren't there, and she gave me the pool money, Donna?
08:53Yes, I was.
08:54But she gave you the pool money.
08:56The last part of it.
08:57What was there?
08:57Do you want to give her the last of it?
08:59Zach's seen her give him $95.
09:01Shh.
09:02Ma'am.
09:02Honor.
09:03The last payment was $95.
09:05Zach, the witness, was over at my house that night.
09:08They were fighting.
09:09I came home from work.
09:11I handed Kelly the money.
09:13She told me I finished paying off the trip money, that we were pretty much ready to go.
09:17It was a week later we got into a fight, and I kicked her out July 21st.
09:20Okay, $95 when?
09:22That was July 10th, 2006.
09:25And when was the trip scheduled for?
09:26August 5th.
09:27Were you there that night, sir?
09:29Yes, I was.
09:29We'll see you next time.
09:30We'll see you next time.
