Ep 136. Never Pepper Spray a Cop's Kid!; Vandal's Apology Caught on Text?!

In Judge Judy season 23 episode 136, Never Pepper Spray a Cop's Kid!; Vandal's Apology Caught on Text?!, Judge Judy presides over two cases that involve issues of vandalism and assault on a police officer's child.

In the first case, a man is accused of vandalizing his ex-girlfriend's car after she ended their relationship. The plaintiff claims that the defendant keyed her car, smashed her windows, and spray-painted threats on her vehicle. The defendant denies the allegations and claims that he had nothing to do with the vandalism. However, Judge Judy brings out video evidence that shows the defendant approaching the plaintiff's car before the vandalism occurred. She also notes that the defendant had a motive for the crime because he was angry about the breakup. Ultimately, Judge Judy rules in favor of the plaintiff and orders the defendant to pay for the damages.

In the second case, a woman is sued by a police officer after she pepper-sprayed the officer's daughter during a fight. The officer claims that his daughter was trying to break up a fight between the defendant and another woman when the defendant pepper-sprayed her in the face. The defendant admits that she used the pepper spray but argues that it was in self-defense. She claims that the officer's daughter was the aggressor and was trying to fight her. Judge Judy reviews the evidence, which includes a video of the altercation. She concludes that the defendant used excessive force and finds her liable for damages.

In addition to these two cases, Judge Judy also hears a case in which a man claims that his neighbor's dog attacked his pet. The plaintiff alleges that the neighbor's dog got loose and attacked his dog while they were both outside. The defendant disputes the plaintiff's account and claims that his dog was on a leash at the time of the incident. Judge Judy reviews the evidence, which includes photographs of the plaintiff's injured dog. She ultimately finds in favor of the plaintiff and orders the defendant to pay for veterinary bills.

Finally, Judge Judy takes on a case in which a man claims that his car was damaged while it was parked in a public garage. The plaintiff alleges that someone scratched his car while he was away on vacation. He offers as evidence a text message from someone who claims to have witnessed the vandalism. However, the defendant argues that the text message is not reliable because it was sent from an anonymous number and cannot be verified. Judge Judy ultimately dismisses the case, citing insufficient evidence.

Overall, Never Pepper Spray a Cop's Kid!; Vandal's Apology Caught on Text?! is an episode of Judge Judy that deals with a range of legal disputes, from vandalism and assault to pet attacks and property damage. Judge Judy uses her expertise and experience to carefully consider each case and come to fair and just decisions.
