Ep 51. Jersey Shore Assault and Arrest?!; Parking Permit Blunder!
- November 1, 2019
In this episode of Judge Judy, the courtroom drama starts with a case where the plaintiff is suing the defendant for assault and battery. The plaintiff, a lady from New Jersey, claims that the defendant, her former friend, assaulted her during a fight that took place at a party in a Jersey Shore beach house. The plaintiff alleges that the defendant punched her in the face, leaving her with a black eye and bruises on her face and body.
The defendant denies the allegations, claiming that she was acting in self-defense. She claims that the plaintiff started the fight and that she only hit her in order to get away from her. The defendant also alleges that the plaintiff was drunk and disorderly, and that her behavior provoked the altercation.
Judge Judy starts off by questioning both parties about the events leading up to the incident. She asks the plaintiff why she was at the party, and what caused the altercation. The plaintiff claims that she was at the beach house with some friends when the defendant arrived and started acting aggressively towards her. She alleges that the defendant called her names and insulted her, which led to a heated argument. According to the plaintiff, the defendant then hit her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground.
The defendant, in turn, claims that the plaintiff was being obnoxious and rude, and that she tried to start a fight. She alleges that the plaintiff punched her first, and that she acted in self-defense by hitting her back. The defendant also produces some witness testimony, which suggests that the plaintiff was indeed the aggressor in the situation.
As the case continues, Judge Judy examines the evidence presented by both parties. She looks at photos of the plaintiff's injuries, listens to witness testimony, and analyzes the plaintiff's medical records. She also questions both parties about their behavior leading up to the incident, trying to determine who was at fault.
In the end, Judge Judy renders her verdict, finding the defendant liable for the plaintiff's injuries. She orders the defendant to pay the plaintiff a sum of money for damages, and warns her to control her temper in the future.
Next, the courtroom drama turns to a case involving a parking permit blunder. The plaintiff in this case is suing the defendant, a parking lot owner, for breach of contract. The plaintiff alleges that she purchased a parking permit from the defendant that was supposed to allow her to park in a designated space for a year. However, the plaintiff claims that the defendant kicked her out of her designated parking spot after only a few months, rendering the permit useless.
The defendant argues that the plaintiff violated the terms of their agreement, and that she was justified in revoking the permit. She claims that the plaintiff parked in other spaces that were not designated for her, despite repeatedly being warned not to do so. The defendant also notes that the permit had an expiration date, after which the plaintiff would no longer be entitled to the parking spot.
As the case proceeds, Judge Judy examines the parking permit document and the testimony of both parties. She tries to determine if the defendant had the right to revoke the permit, or if the plaintiff was unfairly kicked out of her spot.
In the end, Judge Judy finds in favor of the plaintiff, ordering the defendant to reimburse her for the cost of the parking permit. She notes that the defendant failed to produce any evidence that the plaintiff had violated the terms of the agreement, and that she had no right to revoke the permit without cause.
Overall, this episode of Judge Judy features two very different cases, each with its own unique set of facts and legal issues. Through it all, Judge Judy remains firm but fair in her judgments, using her years of experience and no-nonsense approach to sort out the truth and deliver justice.
