Ep 25. I Will Never Help Another Soul Again!; Load a Bowl of Cannabis Vendetta?!; Oops! Lost My Checkbook!

As the long-running legal show "Judge Judy" enters its 22nd season, viewers are still as captivated as ever by the no-nonsense approach of Judge Judith Sheindlin. In episode 25, titled "I Will Never Help Another Soul Again!; Load a Bowl of Cannabis Vendetta?!; Oops! Lost My Checkbook!," three cases are brought before the court to be settled.

The first case involves a dispute between former friends, with one party suing the other for non-payment of a personal loan. The plaintiff is a mother who claims to have graciously lent her former friend $5,000 to help her get back on her feet. However, the defendant disputes the terms of the loan and alleges that the plaintiff did not provide any documentation regarding the loan amount or repayment terms. Judge Judy is quick to cut to the heart of the matter, demanding to know why the defendant hasn't repaid the loan and accusing her of trying to avoid responsibility. She ultimately rules in favor of the plaintiff.

The second case is one that will undoubtedly raise eyebrows. A woman is suing her former roommate after he allegedly emptied her stash of cannabis and replaced it with a lesser-quality product. The defendant admits to taking the plaintiff's cannabis, but claims that it was in exchange for work he had done around the apartment. Judge Judy has little sympathy for either party and admonishes them for their drug use, ruling that neither should expect the court to enforce an illegal transaction.

The final case of the episode is a more straightforward one, involving a man who claims to have lost his checkbook and therefore was unable to pay a contractor for services rendered. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant did not make payment as agreed, while the defendant claims that he was prevented from doing so due to the loss of the checkbook. Judge Judy is skeptical of the defendant's story but ultimately decides that it's an issue for the bank to resolve rather than the court.

Overall, episode 25 of "Judge Judy" presents a diverse range of cases that are sure to keep viewers engaged. From personal loans to cannabis and checkbook disputes, the episode showcases the variety of issues that can arise in everyday life and escalate to legal proceedings. And as always, Judge Judy's no-nonsense approach and sharp wit keeps everything entertaining and engaging.
