Thank You all for the 'welcome back'. I've had so much trouble logging in since last time I was here a few weeks ago. Kept getting bounced back and forth as 'guest'...'register'....'reset password'...'create a new account'....EHHHHHH!
Well, anyhow...
The case that really upset me yesterday (4/30/18) was the little girl who ran into the side of the plaintiff's car and damaged her mirror. JJ sided with the kid and wouldn't award the plaintiff any damages to repair her mirror.
1. JJ said her car must have been moving faster than a crawl, because the girl had some serious injuries. Sorry, JJ - if the kid ran into a brick wall she would suffer serious injuries as well. The wall is stationery, so no go there.
2. JJ asked the plaintiff if the girl got killed instead of serious injuries, would she still be suing for money. The woman stumbled, said she didn't want to answer the question, and JJ was furious. If I were the woman, I would have said "No, I wouldn't...but on the other hand, if she didn't receive any injuries, I still would. So this case lies in the middle of two different endings."
3. JJ was rather upset with the crossing guard. Why? Most crossing guards go through an extensive background check, are trained by the police academy, and often employed by the local police (in my state, at least). If this was an off-duty or retired cop (which she didn't ask him), would that make him more 'credible'?
Thoughts?
