Ep 104. Cell Phone Stalker; Man Overboard

In the first case of Judge Faith season 1 episode 104, titled "Cell Phone Stalker," plaintiff Michelle is suing her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, defendant Eric, for harassment and emotional distress. Michelle claims that Eric has been constantly texting and calling her, even after being asked to stop. She presents evidence of the numerous messages and missed calls from Eric, as well as screenshots of his online profiles where he has tagged her in photos and posted about their relationship.

Eric denies stalking Michelle, stating that the messages and calls were all about their child and co-parenting. He argues that Michelle is overreacting and that he has not done anything wrong. However, Michelle's lawyer points out that Eric has been sending messages at all hours of the day and night, and that many of them are not related to their child.

Judge Faith listens to both sides of the argument and agrees with Michelle that Eric's behavior constitutes harassment. She orders Eric to stop contacting Michelle unless it is about their child, and warns him that he could face serious consequences if he continues to bother her.

The second case in this episode, "Man Overboard," features plaintiff Dawn suing her former friend and landlord, defendant Daniel, for breach of contract and negligence. Dawn claims that she rented a room from Daniel and paid him a deposit, but soon discovered that the living conditions were unsanitary and unsafe. She alleges that the boat was infested with bugs, had exposed wires, and lacked basic amenities like running water.

Dawn further claims that she was injured when she fell overboard due to the unsafe conditions of the boat, and that Daniel did not offer any assistance or provide medical care. She presents photos of the boat and her injuries as evidence.

Daniel denies the allegations, stating that Dawn was responsible for keeping her living space clean and that she was the one who caused damage to the boat. He also argues that Dawn was not his tenant, but a guest who overstayed her welcome.

After hearing both sides of the case, Judge Faith determines that Dawn had a valid lease agreement with Daniel and that he did breach the contract by failing to provide basic living conditions. She further finds that Daniel was negligent in not providing assistance when Dawn fell overboard.

Judge Faith orders Daniel to return Dawn's deposit and pay her medical expenses, as well as damages for the unsanitary and unsafe living conditions. She warns Daniel to take care of future tenants and ensure that his living spaces are up to code.

Overall, Judge Faith season 1 episode 104 tackles two distinct cases of personal injury and harassment, exploring the nuances of contract law and tenant's rights. Through her sharp wit and legal expertise, Judge Faith is able to deliver fair and just verdicts that leave both parties satisfied with the outcome.
