00:01She moved in with him. Then she moved out. Then back in. Then back out again. By the third time,
00:08he'd had enough, and he kept all her furniture. That's this case.
00:13The plaintiff is Sheila Whitehead. She's the one suing. The defendant is Mr. Redford. He's the one
00:20keeping her stuff. Sheila and Mr. Redford had an on-again, off-again relationship. She'd live with
00:27him, then go back to her old boyfriend. Then the old boyfriend wasn't nice, so she'd move back in
00:32with Mr. Redford. This happened two or three times. Sheila admits it right in court. The first time
00:38she moved in, she brought some furniture. When she left to go back to the old boyfriend, she left it
00:43behind. Then she came back again. This time, she bought more furniture. Two couches, a kitchen table,
00:50six chairs, and three area rugs, all bought on the same day, October 11th. Not from a store,
00:58from a client of hers. She's paying it off by doing hair. Then she left again, back to the old
01:04boyfriend one more time. Mr. Redford got fed up. He said, you're not taking your furniture. You brought
01:11it into my house. It's staying. Now, here's where Judge Judy catches her. She asks Sheila when she last
01:18moved in. Sheila keeps looking at Mr. Redford for help. Judge Judy stops her cold. She says,
01:24don't look at him. He's not the plaintiff. You are. If you can't answer the questions,
01:29your case gets dismissed. Sheila straightens up after that. Then Judge Judy asks about the rugs.
01:36Did you measure the rooms before you bought them? Sheila says yes, then says no. She admits she didn't
01:42measure anything. She just bought them. Then the payday loan. Sheila says she took out a loan
01:48in her name. Where did the money go? Food and gas for both of them. Judge Judy says,
01:54then you don't get that back. That's not a loan. Shuts it down fast. The truth Judge Judy sees is
02:00simple. Sheila left her furniture behind twice, bought new stuff without measuring, and the payday
02:07loan was just household expenses. No money owed. But Judge Judy does give her one chance. She says
02:14Sheila has a six-hour window, five days from now, to go get her furniture. If she doesn't get it
02:19by
02:20then, she loses it all. That's the punishment. No money changes hands. Just a hard deadline.
