00:00Twitter erupted in confusion.
00:02Does anyone want to tell me why Amy Schumer is casually in the courtroom on Judge Judy?
00:07Welcome to Ms. Mojo.
00:09And today, we're counting down our picks for the most head-scratching defendants and plaintiffs in Judge Judy history.
00:14Who does that to everybody, Ms. Your Honor?
00:18Hi, boy. Hi, dear.
00:20Number 30. Deer Meat for Money.
00:23There's never been any shortage of weird cases on The Judge Judy Show,
00:26but those stories of plaintiffs and defendants can often feel doubly strange
00:30when there's familial relations involved to boot.
00:33The Detenheim sisters, Carol and Eve, got into it on the show due to a car accident
00:37that resulted in a dead deer and some significant car damage.
00:41So why don't you work?
00:42Because I don't have to.
00:45Well, you have to because you owe your sister $1,300.
00:48The defendant, Carol, was apparently unwilling to listen to her siblings' pleas for financial compensation,
00:53presenting instead a peace offering of Deer Meat Stew.
00:56This gift, perhaps predictably, was turned down.
00:59And the sisters took their weird rivalry to the judge for arbitration.
01:02Is that true?
01:04Yes, ma'am. And she even offered me some, but I'm not having a rigamortis stube.
01:09It did not have rigamortis, so I'm in bed.
01:12I'm, that is, that is just sick.
01:14Number 29. Inappropriate Laughter.
01:17Judge Judy isn't a live program, but that doesn't mean that some episodes don't go off the rails.
01:22And we're not even talking about any of the plaintiffs or defendants in this case,
01:26but rather a member of the courtroom audience.
01:28Now out. Just a second. Out. Just out. Just out.
01:33Thank you very much.
01:34One of these paid extras apparently laughed too loudly and noticeably at something said by the judge.
01:40The results were an ejection at the demands of Judy herself,
01:43who broke character and directly addressed the offending gallery member during taping of the episode.
01:47Out. Did you hear what I said? You know who I'm looking at. You got my eyes?
01:53The man, to his credit, did at least seem genuinely remorseful for his actions
01:57and mouthed the words, I'm sorry, after being named and shamed.
02:01It would be you. Out. Just go. Say nothing.
02:08Perfect.
02:09Number 28. Adult man who doesn't know his address.
02:13Now we wouldn't blame a young kid for not remembering their address,
02:16especially with all of the cameras, lights, and production people on the set of Judge Judy.
02:21But what about a supposed defendant who's approaching 30?
02:24Judge Judy seemed flabbergasted when confronted by a man who apparently doesn't know where he lives.
02:29I have older grandchildren. They also know their address.
02:33I don't know any 29-year-old person who's lived someplace for six months that doesn't know the address.
02:39He can't provide specific details to his address during a case involving a landlord
02:43and legal living rights versus supposed squatter's rights.
02:46The entire affair is played up for laughs, of course,
02:49but we sincerely hope the defendant in this case knows his address by now.
02:53He lived with Lindsay somewhere at the end of the street.
02:58That's what the case is about, right?
03:00You know that I'm not buying it, right?
03:03Number 27. Zipline Fanatic.
03:06It's a Karen case of epic proportions when a woman arrives in Judge Judy's courtroom seeking a refund for a cabin rental.
03:13Her reasoning?
03:14The zipline services advertised as being located near the cabin rental were closed during the time of her stay.
03:20This entitled behavior doesn't naturally sit too well with the judge,
03:24who resoundingly finds in favor of the defendant.
03:26And your answer says that when you got there, there were no ziplines.
03:32They had closed their doors.
03:33Well, they don't own the ziplines, right?
03:36But they...
03:36They don't just pay attention.
03:38The third-party service that operated the zipline had nothing to do with the cabin rental company,
03:42but this woman was having none of it and remained insistent to the end about receiving her money back.
03:47With your family that you don't see regularly,
03:51if there was no ziplining in what looks to me like a beautiful environment.
03:55Well, we weren't enjoying the environment, and my children didn't want to stay.
03:59Yeah, well, then you have spoiled children.
04:02Number 26.
04:03The Bleacher.
04:04You know an episode of Judge Judy is starting to get real when the television magistrate has to admonish a defendant that the latter quote isn't on Springer.
04:11I'd reach around him.
04:13You could have him in a headlock, but he can't have you in a headlock.
04:17So let's go step by step.
04:19Okay.
04:19Remember?
04:19I'm either going to believe you or not.
04:22This bit of verbal sparring occurred after the defendant,
04:25who was caught on camera bleaching her ex-boyfriend's clothes, mind you,
04:29started swearing in court.
04:31The woman's behavior in this episode clearly wasn't falling in line with Judith Sheinlin's standards for decorum in her courtroom,
04:37so the judge lets her have it, with both barrels blazing.
04:40The doors are not locked.
04:42Don't.
04:42Hey!
04:42You're not in your living room.
04:45We're not sure what stranger, the defendant's outburst, or her commitment to her story, despite the overwhelming evidence presented in court.
04:53In any event, I think you both behaved badly.
04:55You're not living together anymore?
04:56No.
04:57No.
04:57No more.
04:59Your case is dismissed.
05:00So is your counterclaim.
05:00We're done.
05:01Number 25.
05:02Purse thieves.
05:03How long do you think you could last in Judge Judy's courtroom if you knew you were guilty,
05:08yet decided to roll those dice anyway in the face of fate?
05:11Five minutes?
05:11Ten?
05:12How about a mere 26 seconds?
05:15That's about all it took for these two dum-dums,
05:17who managed to incriminate themselves in that amount of time by telling the court,
05:21in no uncertain terms, exactly what they stole.
05:24I had to replace all my IDs.
05:26I had gift cards in there, my earpiece, and a calculator.
05:30There was no earpiece in the mail.
05:32Judge Judy can't even contain her laughter as she finds the defendant's guilty of snatching
05:36a purse from a college locker, stifling giggles as she brings down her hammer of justice.
05:41Judging for the plaintiff for the amount of $500.
05:44That's what I think it's worth, madam.
05:46Goodbye.
05:47Number 24.
05:48Pinky Biter.
05:49We're not exactly sure what a Hollywood girl fight is,
05:52but Judge Judy certainly seemed to have her hands full while presiding over two clearly
05:56antagonistic women in her courtroom.
05:58Both the plaintiff and defendant describe a violent and physical altercation over a man,
06:03whereby one of the women sustained bite wounds to her hand.
06:06Who was it?
06:07Andrea Coleman.
06:08Was at my head and I seen her and I thought she was attacking me also,
06:12so I immediately started to attack once I kind of realized what was going on.
06:16I started to fight back.
06:17That's when she bit my hand.
06:18It all feels very Jerry Springer, to reference an earlier case on our list,
06:22leaving Judge Judy to separate the truth from fiction
06:24as she attempts to get to the bottom of this down and dirty battle.
06:28I didn't let her tell me because I didn't think that you wanted 10 million people
06:32to hear details of what the argument was about.
06:35Was I right about that?
06:35Yeah, she was right.
06:36Right.
06:37So I'm not going to let you tell me that she was a busybody.
06:39Number 23.
06:41Baby Boy.
06:42It doesn't really matter whether or not one happens to be a dog person.
06:45The results of this Judge Judy episode are just bound to make you smile.
06:48We admit that the strangeness here lies primarily within the defendant's decision
06:53to dig her heels in the sand with her rightful claim to dog ownership.
06:56The plaintiff, meanwhile, is steadfast in his assertion that the pup,
07:00well known by fans of the show at this point as Baby Boy, belongs in his home.
07:04Hey, boy.
07:05Hey, baby boy.
07:06Madam.
07:06Hey, man.
07:07Madam, listen to me carefully.
07:09Put the dog down.
07:10Put the dog down.
07:12Judge Judy's decision then to let Baby Boy choose his own path
07:15is one of, if not the most heartwarming moments in the entire series run.
07:20This baby boy.
07:21Pick him up.
07:22This baby boy.
07:22Come on, man.
07:23Come on.
07:24This baby boy.
07:25Oh.
07:27That's all.
07:28Take the dog home.
07:28Number 22.
07:30Amy Schumer.
07:31I want you to bring up for me cards that you sold in the month of January 2016
07:38and in the month of February 2016.
07:41Okay.
07:42This is a case where eagle-eyed fans of Judge Judy were rewarded for spotting a celebrity
07:46sneaking their way into the audience gallery.
07:49This time, it was comedian and actress Amy Schumer who appeared on the show,
07:53with the fun and games continuing after Schumer's episode had closed up shop.
07:57I said, between now and the time we come back from a much-needed lunch,
08:01I want you to bring up, during that same time period, cards that you posted for sale.
08:07The comedian actually taped some interactions with the Judge Judy bailiff Petri Hawkins-Bird,
08:11and even got to live out a real-life fantasy, namely that of being Judge Amy,
08:16when some filmed clips of her hanging out ended up posted online and going viral.
08:20My sister and I sat in on the cases for the day because we love her.
08:25She also shared a funny photo and video on Instagram where she takes the bench.
08:30Number 21.
08:31Bea Arthur.
08:32The glorious and fantastic Bea Arthur once appeared on an episode of Judge Judy,
08:36and this time the Golden Girls actor actually managed to involve herself in a case.
08:41Arthur served as a witness in a case against a tamer of big cats,
08:45which was in line with the actor's own history as an animal rights activist.
08:49I am not and never have been in full agreement with everything that PETA has brought about.
08:57This first season episode may not have wound up as a win for Arthur's side,
09:01since the tamer was ultimately not found guilty of anything illegal.
09:05But it did prove how Judge Judy was already gaining a cult following during its television debut.
09:10I do believe, I do believe in experimenting medically,
09:14provided that the animals are not mistreated.
09:19Yes.
09:20Number 20.
09:21The guy who can't stop smiling.
09:23Accused of vandalizing a friend's car,
09:25the defendant in this case can't stop smiling or laughing.
09:29Why are you laughing?
09:30Nothing so far here is funny.
09:31I'm not laughing. Look at Officer Byrd. He's hardly laughing.
09:35The plaintiff isn't laughing.
09:36Your witness isn't laughing.
09:38The only fool that's laughing would be you.
09:40Between his red face and inability to keep it together,
09:43it's pretty apparent he did not show up to court with a clear head.
09:46If there's one thing Judge Judy has no patience for,
09:49it's disrespect for her courtroom.
09:52I didn't understand your question. You're speaking too fast.
09:54No, I'm not speaking too fast.
09:56I'm just not a fool.
09:57His airheadedness gets to the judge right away,
10:00and she can't stop herself from taking him apart bit by bit.
10:03She even does a priceless impression of him right to his face.
10:07We established a moment ago that you threw the bottle at the car,
10:11that you hit the car, and that you caused damage to the car.
10:13You said,
10:14Yes, nice drink.
10:16Even the defendant's witness looks like he'd rather be anywhere but there.
10:21Number 19.
10:22A broken clavicle or a broken side mirror.
10:24In this case, a girl ran into a car and broke her clavicle.
10:28But driver Robin Brooke believes she's the real injured party here,
10:32as the injured girl broke her vehicle's side mirror.
10:34Do you want her mother to pay for the mirror on your car?
10:38Yes, you're not.
10:40She collided.
10:41I was going very slowly, and it was a side impact.
10:46I did not hit her. She ran into me.
10:48Judge Judy repeatedly explains how insensitive and wrongheaded this is.
10:52The plaintiff is not hearing it, though.
10:54She is so determined that the girl's mother owes her,
10:57that she can't even see how many different ways the situation could have turned out worse than it did.
11:02Get it through your head. She's not fixing your mirror.
11:05You should go like this.
11:06What a tragedy this could have been.
11:08The fact that Brooke appears fairly calm almost makes her reasoning for the lawsuit
11:12that much more bizarre and harder to digest.
11:15She ran into my vehicle.
11:17Your case is dismissed. We're done.
11:18Number 18.
11:19The salad dressing Avenger.
11:21If there was an entitlement award, this guy would be a shoo-in.
11:25Mr. Erkinson, you're a big baby.
11:27That doesn't mean you're a big baby.
11:29The plaintiff sued the employees of a restaurant because they vandalized his property.
11:33Okay, that seems fair enough.
11:35However, it comes out that the man actually refused to pay for the meal he ordered,
11:40saying he had a credit due to the restaurant previously for getting extra salad dressing with his meal.
11:45And about two weeks later, I ordered the same meal.
11:48And when the guy driver got there, I said, we have a credit, and I shut the door.
11:51Very grown-up of you.
11:52Yeah.
11:53You think that was right?
11:54Apparently, without the dressing, his entire lunch became magically inedible.
11:59So, the salad dressing vigilante took matters into his own hands.
12:03The judge was not having it, and neither was the audience.
12:06You want dressing for your sandwich, go to the store and buy a bottle of dressing
12:10so you have dressing for the sandwich.
12:12But it's not the same dressing.
12:13Their salad dressing has their own taste.
12:16Vandalism is not okay, but neither is this guy's behavior.
12:20Number 17.
12:21Man sues his mother.
12:23Plaintiff Glenn Hazleton started off on the wrong foot with the judge.
12:27He didn't think her line of questioning about his arrest record was relevant to the current case.
12:32But what does that got that pertain to this case?
12:34Everything pertains to this case.
12:35But Judge Judy has a way of deciding for herself what's relevant.
12:39The plaintiff, who is suing his own mother for false arrest, clearly has an anger problem.
12:45At one point, he throws a fit and tells the judge to dismiss his case.
12:48If you don't want to discuss this case, then we can just dismiss it.
12:52Great.
12:52Then I'm dismissing you.
12:53Thank you very much.
12:54All right.
12:55You have a good day.
12:55Judge Judy's happy to accommodate him.
12:57Once he calms down and returns to re-argue his case,
13:00the judge lets him rant and rave until he gets tired,
13:03only to dismiss his case again.
13:06I didn't do it.
13:07And this is the reason I'm suing my mother.
13:09I'm out $2,500.
13:11I could have gone after her for penal swollen damages.
13:15Your case is dismissed, Mr. Hazleton.
13:17You have no case against your mother.
13:18We're finished here.
13:19Number 16.
13:20The Gasping Woman.
13:22Driving uninsured and getting into a car accident while fighting a passenger didn't endear her to the judge.
13:28But defendant Davisha Thomas' courtroom dramatics made a bad situation worse.
13:33I'm the most careful driver anybody can write with.
13:35Oh, no, you weren't.
13:36You weren't careful that night.
13:37I am so careful.
13:38I read your answer.
13:39When Thomas wouldn't answer her questions clearly, the judge grew impatient.
13:43Even when she seemingly told the truth, her answers were head scratchers.
13:47Why didn't you?
13:48Just a second.
13:49He's your brother.
13:50Why didn't you ask him?
13:51But it was her outsized reactions and comical gasping to even the most innocuous questions that made her an instant meme.
13:59Judge Judy doesn't have time for stalling, histrionics, or nonsense.
14:03Flicks and D-run.
14:05By the end of this one, she seemed like she was ready to retire.
14:09Number 15.
14:10Neighbor with a Bullhorn.
14:12Judge Judy has to sift through years of animosity between two neighbors to get to the heart of this case.
14:17Well, you're going to tell me, sir, this guy has to see what led up to this.
14:21Since it does appear that for a substantial period of time, you peacefully coexisted.
14:27Truthfully, neither litigant comes off well.
14:29What should have been a trivial feud about twigs and trimmings blew up when the defendant took it upon herself to protest at her neighbor's house.
14:36We called the police on this for 12 times.
14:40We've got a lawsuit on this.
14:42We've got a priest on the plate.
14:44I didn't do it.
14:46She was captured on video spewing profanities into a bullhorn in front of his property.
14:52There's no doubt that these two have too much time on their hands.
14:55But to stand outside someone's house and scream into a bullhorn is a whole other level of obnoxious.
15:01That conduct is outrageous.
15:03What is wrong with you?
15:04Number 14. Fresh-mouthed father of 10.
15:08Denny Gonzalez decided he was the star of this show and told the judges much.
15:12This was right after he made a crass and borderline nonsensical joke about her daughter.
15:17How many?
15:18About four.
15:19About four? What do you mean about four? What does that mean, about four?
15:23About four of them, including your daughter.
15:27What are you talking about?
15:28You can decide whether it was stupid or brave, but if you ask us, it's the former.
15:34Judge Judy's not having it either.
15:36She doesn't even dignify it with a real insult.
15:38That's why you came here, to answer questions so that I could gather information.
15:43Do you understand?
15:45Kind of, yeah.
15:46Good.
15:46Well, perhaps if you stayed in school a little longer instead of stayed out of the bedroom,
15:51you'd understand better.
15:52Considering how obnoxious he is, it's surprising the judge didn't absolutely wreck him in front of the cameras.
15:58It's a wonder someone would be foolish enough to even try this, especially since he was at fault in the case.
16:04You took him into your backyard, you permitted him to set up his target,
16:08you permitted him to shoot the BB gun at the target in your backyard, you became responsible.
16:14Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $411.17.
16:19Number 13.
16:20Suing a grieving mother.
16:22The plaintiff, Wendy Moore, allowed her underage son to drive her vehicle.
16:26Only on the property.
16:27I don't care if he drives it on the property, if he drives it on Pluto!
16:31He's not permitted to be behind the wheel of a car.
16:33But when her son allowed his friend to drive the car, the girl was killed in an accident.
16:38In response, Moore sued the grieving defendant, i.e. the deceased's mother, for damages.
16:43Judge Judy makes it clear she has no case,
16:46but Moore's smug expression and unwillingness to listen just makes her look even worse.
16:51I mean, do you honestly believe that you have a case?
16:53Do you honestly believe that any fact finder, whether it be a judge or a jury,
16:59is going to find your position sympathetic, Ms. Moore?
17:03As heinous as this case is, there's something to be said for the way some people's minds work.
17:07Most of us would probably feel incredibly guilty if we were in the plaintiff's position,
17:12yet there are some who seemingly have no shame, and it's tough to see.
17:16You're an idiot. Judgment on the counterclaim for $5,000.
17:19Number 12. Woman under the influence.
17:22The plaintiff here sues her ex-roommate over an attack with boiling water.
17:26And it is your claim that she came into the bedroom while you were sleeping and poured boiling water on you?
17:30Yes, correct.
17:32Police reports from the night indicate that there were a lot of illicit substances involved.
17:37The plaintiff, however, alleges the cop was phony, or as she puts it...
17:41Fugazi.
17:42The thing is, the report is corroborated by the medical records.
17:45Given her erratic behavior and trouble speaking,
17:48even Judge Judy wonders aloud if she's under the influence in court.
17:52I don't know what you're on now. I don't care. I don't care.
17:56What becomes clear is that this woman needs help.
17:58It's one of Judge Judy's more empathetic moments with a litigant,
18:02and we certainly feel for the plaintiff as well.
18:04What she did was terrible.
18:05They didn't take you seriously.
18:07And that is not an excuse for them.
18:09But part of the reason they didn't take you seriously is because you were your own worst enemy.
18:14Number 11.
18:15Tupperware Lady.
18:16This living situation went south as soon as the Tupperware got involved.
18:20You had an argument over Tupperware?
18:22Yes.
18:24Karina Roy, now known as the infamous Tupperware Lady,
18:27got into an argument with the defendant over some missing items.
18:31Those items, of course, were Tupperware.
18:34Roy's spirited reenactment of these arguments does not impress Judge Judy.
18:38She opened her Tupperware cupboard and forced all of her Tupperware on me like that.
18:43Let me explain something to you.
18:45Don't get dramatic with me.
18:47Her incredibly precise description of the events doesn't really score her any points either.
18:52One could argue that self-awareness is in short supply here.
18:56And that's what makes it so entertaining.
18:58Despite saying an awful lot, Roy's testimony doesn't always make a lot of sense,
19:03seemingly leaving Judge Judy, Officer Bird, and the audience hilariously baffled.
19:08I just felt hollow in here.
19:10I mean, I felt...
19:11I did not...
19:12I did not feel stable at all.
19:13My driver has been...
19:14You're not stable.
19:15Number 10.
19:16Petty ex-friend sues for broken toilet.
19:19Sometimes things break.
19:21So, who broke it?
19:26I'm not mad.
19:27I just want to know.
19:28It's a natural part of life and something that everyone has to deal with.
19:33In this case, however, the plaintiff, Lisa,
19:35decided she'd rather have her ex-friend Barbara deal with it.
19:39According to your complaint, she went into the bathroom and she broke your toilet.
19:43She cracked it.
19:44You want her to pay for it?
19:45Yes.
19:46That's correct, Your Honor.
19:47After realizing Barbara broke her toilet by sitting on it,
19:50Lisa sued for damages.
19:53Unsurprisingly, Judge Judy was quick to call out the ridiculousness of the case
19:57and asked why Lisa thought the defendant should be responsible for her toilet.
20:02The toilet broke while she was using it.
20:06That doesn't mean that she broke it.
20:09And that doesn't mean that she's responsible for it.
20:12She didn't have a good answer.
20:14And Judge Judy quickly dismissed the case as being stupid,
20:18telling the woman to grow up before determining the case closed.
20:22Number 9.
20:23Woman tries to give her mom her friend's baby.
20:27Sometimes a situation has no easy solution.
20:30But the response to frustrating circumstances should never be violence,
20:35especially towards the people you're asking for help.
20:38If you tell the truth, you don't have to have a long memory.
20:41If you're going to make up stories, you're going to look very foolish
20:44and it's going to be very unpleasant.
20:45In this case, a mother sued her 20-year-old daughter for damages
20:49after she went on a bizarre rampage following her mother's refusal to take her friend's child.
20:54Your stepfather, according to you, came in and said,
20:57what are you trying to do?
20:59You want us to take this baby so that you and your friends could go out partying and having a good time?
21:06The friend was unable to support the baby,
21:09but instead of asking her mother to adopt the child legally,
21:12this woman thought it best to pawn the child off to her like a kitten.
21:16It's not like you're pawning off a kitten, you know.
21:19This is not a kitten.
21:20After hearing the story, Judge Judy was clearly perplexed by the audacity of the young woman
21:25to ask such a thing of her mother, and by extension, her stepfather.
21:34It's easy to blame a store or salesperson when something's wrong with an item days after you've purchased it.
21:41You want to return this couch?
21:45It's cut in half.
21:47That's what I'm telling you.
21:51Did you cut this couch in half?
21:53In this case, however, the plaintiff wasn't complaining about broken furniture, but a sickly puppy.
21:59Steve Leitner had purchased the puppy from someone in a Walgreens parking lot on a Saturday
22:04and realized that it was sick the following Monday.
22:07The only sympathy I would have for you is if she masked, somehow, symptoms of a sick puppy
22:15and knowingly sold you a sick puppy, and you don't have any evidence of that.
22:21After being told it was underweight, he sued the woman he bought it from,
22:25insisting that she was at fault for selling him a sickly dog.
22:29He even went so far as to accuse the woman of faking her death and the deaths of her children,
22:34a claim for which he seemed to have very little evidence.
22:38Evidence that she tried to get out of this or contacting me by faking her own death and faking her children's death.
22:45Number 7. Car Salesman Who Sold One Car to Two People
22:49Car salesmen are sometimes known for using persuasive double talk to convince you to buy a vehicle,
22:55but this salesman skipped the pitch and went right to a full-on scam.
22:59Am I getting it right? You got so far...
23:03There's some missing parts.
23:04You got so far... No, the simple story, and I'm a very simple girl.
23:09Salesman Robert Martin promised two separate people a car he valued at $1,500
23:14and collected money from them both before being taken to court by the plaintiff.
23:19As Judge Judy points out, he was effectively paid twice for the same car,
23:24and a car that was only valued to be worth $825 at that.
23:29$825.
23:32So, sir, you are the only person who is now seeking $7,000 for an $800 car.
23:40Do you understand how stupid that sounds?
23:42Somehow, even after this revelation, the defendant still doesn't understand what he's done wrong,
23:47and pushes for a $5,000 countersuit.
23:51Even more baffling, his nephew, who was promised the car alongside the plaintiff,
23:56actually agrees with him.
23:58Are you going to do that?
23:59No.
23:59Why?
24:01Because I think my uncle is in the right for what he did.
24:03Number 6. Defective Pug Purchaser
24:06This woman is the real Karen of dog owners.
24:10Having never owned her own dog, Rachel purchased a pug from a breeder.
24:14Is this the first time you've had a dog?
24:16Since I was a child, yes.
24:18So this is the first time you've really had a dog?
24:20She and her son were happy with him, and they even wanted a second dog.
24:24So far, so good.
24:26That is, until her vet told her that the dog had to be neutered,
24:30which she appeared to think meant the pug was defective.
24:33So they said I would have to have him neutered.
24:35I could not breed him.
24:36Well, they said to you it's a wise idea.
24:39Having wanted to breed the dog, she felt cheated and demanded her money back.
24:44Even stranger, she insisted she should get the money and the dog.
24:49So what you wanted was you wanted money back and the dog?
24:53Yes.
24:53She even went so far as to call the Attorney General.
24:57Judge Judy scoffed at the case,
24:59pointing out that a first-time dog owner had no business breeding a dog anyway.
25:03Number 5. Pot-Belly Pig vs. Show Dog
25:07To own a pet is to be responsible for its actions.
25:11So now you understand that you are totally responsible for the vet bills and the other expenses.
25:17This is a lesson the defendant, Lisa, learned the hard way
25:21when her pot-bellied pig escaped her backyard and bit the prized show dog of the plaintiff, Deborah.
25:27Interestingly, though, this is a case where both plaintiff and defendant acted pretty strangely.
25:32I came out and I wanted to take a picture of the pig with the dog
25:36because the last time it was on the property, my husband says,
25:39are you sure a pig was on our property?
25:41Although most of the blame can be laid on Lisa and her unconventional pet,
25:45it's hard to overlook the fact that Deborah videoed her prized pooch
25:50sniffing at the unfamiliar animal for an extended period of time.
25:54She only reacted and pulled the Great Dane away when the dog was bitten by the pig.
26:01Hey! Hey!
26:01Seems like both could be better pet owners to their beloved animals.
26:09It's not uncommon for Judge Judy cases to revolve around the damaging of personal property.
26:15And it is your claim that all three of these defendants vandalized your car?
26:20Yes, I do.
26:21What makes this case so unusual is that the defendants decided to vandalize a man's car with mustard.
26:27Prior to the condiment crime, Billy Dye had gotten a restraining order against his cousin
26:33and allegedly quit the job they worked at together following her promotion.
26:37You were granted a protective order for two years?
26:40Yes.
26:41You were supposed to stay 300 feet away from him at all times,
26:44and you were supposed to refrain from exercising any contact with him, including through social media.
26:49Unfortunately, he still lived in the area and had to drive past his former workplace on the way to his new job.
26:56He said this is when she and two friends attacked, first with mustard and then with rocks.
27:01I have a picture showing that they squirted mustard all over my car.
27:05To make matters worse, the trio laughed throughout the entire trial
27:09and frequently interrupted both Judge Judy and the plaintiff.
27:12Hey! What part of be quiet don't you understand?
27:17Number 3. Johnny Rotten
27:18Although Judge Judy often deals with cases between everyday people,
27:23occasionally a familiar face will appear on her show.
27:26One such case was when Johnny Lydon, better known as Johnny Rotten,
27:30appeared on the show as a defendant against a drummer named Robert Williams.
27:34The charge? That Rotten laid a vicious headbutt on Williams during a heated contract dispute.
27:40It was a case made for Judge Judy.
27:42You would think that charges of assault, battery, and neglected payments
27:46would cause the singer to be on his best behavior for Judge Judy.
27:50True to his bad boy reputation, however,
27:52the Sex Pistols frontman consistently acted out in front of the famous judge,
27:57antagonizing and interrupting her as she attempted to hear both sides of the case.
28:02Hey, be respectful.
28:04I'm sorry.
28:04Be respectful in your house.
28:05Don't be disrespectful in my house.
28:07Surprisingly, she ended up ruling in his favor regardless
28:11as the drummer lacked adequate evidence to support his claims.
28:15Fairly obvious conclusion.
28:17Number 2. eBay Scammer
28:18On eBay, most items are used, meaning what you see is what you get.
28:24But this seller took that sentiment a little too literally.
28:28She can't read. It's not my fault she can't read.
28:31When someone won two cell phones by bidding on the items in Kelly Filkinson's online shop,
28:36she instead sent two photographs of the phones that had been shown online.
28:40And you sent her two photographs of the cell phones.
28:44And you say that that's what she paid for, two photographs of the cell phones.
28:48Are we understanding each other?
28:50Yes.
28:50You're an idiot!
28:51Even as Judge Judy insulted the woman's moral compass and called her an idiot,
28:56Kelly refused to back down.
28:58Her stance was that the listing was, and always had been, for the photographs,
29:03and that the plaintiff suing her received what they'd paid $467 for.
29:08You're a thief! Outrageous! You are outrageous, madam!
29:14She even gave a bad review on the website when they complained.

29:34Number 1. Pregnant Woman Busts Friend's Windshield
29:38Sometimes, it's not just one person who might seem strange, but an entire case.
29:44This episode saw two former roommates at odds when one of them moved out of their shared home.
29:48Because according to her complaint, she moved in there and about a week later, my friend passed away.
29:54Realizing she still had belongings there,
29:56Rosalind began blowing up her roommate Latana's phone and social media,
30:00a term Judge Judy was unfamiliar with, before giving up and enlisting the help of a friend to break in.
30:07Well, blowing her up on Facebook.
30:09You know what that means?
30:11She kept hitting up over and over again.
30:13Like a robocall over and over and over and over and over and over again.
30:15Okay.
30:15The pair successfully broke in, but got much more than they bargained for.
30:19The then-pregnant Latana allegedly emerged from the home naked,
30:24holding a knife and a stick and screaming,
30:26I'm gonna kill you, before smashing the plaintiff's windshield.
30:30Are you freaking serious?
30:31You're gonna bust my windows out like that?
30:32All I'm trying to do is get my stuff.
30:33So she's like, you're gonna get out of here.
30:35I'm gonna kill you.
30:35I'm gonna kill you.
30:36I'm gonna cut you from ear to ear.
30:38Certainly a peculiar way to come at a burglar.
30:41But Judge Judy ruled in her favor anyway.
30:43Deciding the break-in justified the unconventional defense.
