- October 10, 2019
The episode Blind and Discriminated Against?!; Wedding Dress Payback! is the 34th episode of the 24th season of the popular courtroom show Judge Judy. The episode involves two separate cases that Judy has to preside over.
In the first case, a woman named Brenda is suing her former landlord for discrimination and failure to accommodate her visual impairment. Brenda claims that she was discriminated against and evicted from her apartment because of her blindness. She also alleges that the landlord failed to make necessary accommodations, such as providing her with a braille lease.
The landlord, on the other hand, argues that Brenda was evicted for violating her lease. He claims that she had multiple pets in the apartment despite a "no pets" clause, and that she refused to pay rent for several months. He also denies any discrimination against Brenda, stating that he has rented to blind tenants in the past and has made accommodations for them.
Judy listens to arguments from both sides and questions Brenda about her past behavior in the apartment. She also examines the lease agreement to see if any accommodations were made or required. In the end, Judy delivers a verdict on the case and provides her reasoning for her decision.
The second case involves a woman named Sarah who is suing her former friend and bridesmaid, Jessica, for the cost of a wedding dress. Sarah claims that she lent Jessica a thousand dollars to purchase a wedding dress for Sarah's wedding, but Jessica never paid her back. According to Sarah, Jessica promised to repay the loan, but then backed out after the wedding.
Jessica, however, denies ever receiving a loan from Sarah. She argues that Sarah offered to pay for the dress as a gift, and that she never agreed to repay any money. Jessica claims that Sarah is simply trying to get her money back out of spite, and that there was never any agreement made.
Judy listens to both sides' arguments and examines evidence presented about conversations and text messages. She tries to determine the nature of the loan and whether or not it was ever intended to be repaid. In the end, Judy delivers her verdict on the case and provides her reasoning.
Overall, Blind and Discriminated Against?!; Wedding Dress Payback! is an entertaining and thought-provoking episode of Judge Judy. It explores complex issues such as discrimination, accommodation, and friendship. As always, Judy's tough but fair approach to these cases delivers justice and insight into the workings of the legal system.
