JJ ruled against him, and found in favor of the plaintiff, which made me upset.
If the 21 year old defendant was upset that the plaintiff had gotten permission to leave right after his shift was over (and excused him from doing his sidework), then Judge Judy should have advised her to 'quit'. Instead, she purposely tried to make trouble for him. She's an instigator, so she's at fault. Again, all she had to do was QUIT IF SHE WASN'T HAPPY with the way her coworker was being treated more favorably than others. There are plenty of restaurants in Springfield, IL - she could find one where she'd be happier.
Instead, she complained enough about him and blew this isolated incident up where he ended up getting fired. (JJ had no problem with that.) She then felt 'scared of him' and 'threatened', so instead of quitting, she...she then wasted the court's time in getting a restraining order against him - and he, in turn, got a lawyer to bring to court. JJ was angry with him for that move - why? He has every right to choose to take a lawyer, a legal team, or go solo - what did JJ care? He wasn't using JJ's money.
When the defendant saw him with his lawyer, she felt scared - she they delayed the hearing for another month so she could get a lawyer! ANOTHER MONTH!
JJ should have called her 'a big baby' and reprimanded her for 'wasting the court's time over such nonsense'. Instead, JJ agreed to the actions she took.
NOT ONLY THAT, but JJ also listened to her testimony about what their manager 'Kevin' said, throughout the case!
Whatever happened to 'Is he here? Why not? Then you can't tell me what he said if he's not here, so I can cross-examine him. That's hear/say'.
JJ broke all the rules on this one.
No, she wasn't. During the the woman's counterclaim, Judy told the woman that he had every right to an attorney and she couldn't sue him for her legal fees.
I didn't hear the whole case, but you're making the guy out to be better than he was. Wasn't there something about intimidation and slashed tires? If Judy was angry with him, it was for other reasons.
"she they delayed the hearing for another month so she could get a lawyer!"
He delayed the case, too, by not showing up for a hearing with another judge on the advice of his attorney. It's all legal cat-and-mouse.
And no, people don't have to quit a job if they are being unfairly treated, they have every right to protest unfairness. If it's not race-based or gender-based it may be harder to get a legal judgment in their favor.
"JJ ruled against him, and found in favor of the plaintiff, which made me upset."
Remind me what the woman got out of it, nothing materially, I thought. Weren't both claims dismissed?
When he first told JJ he hired a lawyer, she put the 'sour look' on her face and asked "For what?" She asked how much it cost him ($1,000) and then questioned why a waiter at BWW would spend $1,000 on a lawyer.
What did she care? He hired a lawyer - and that's that. He had every right to do so , as she did admit much later.
I don't think I was making him out to be better than he was - I think JJ was making her out to be better than she actually was. She came across as the fearful innocent.
He didn't delay the case - his lawyer went in his stead, which is perfectly legal in a matter such as this. She then got frightened, and delayed the hearing so she could hire a lawyer, as she was 'intimidated' by his lawyer being there. Ridiculous - she should have proceeded with the case that day, and be her own litigant.
REMEMBER - it all started with him getting permission to leave at 2:00 on the dot to keep an appointment, and she was angry that he didn't stay and do his 'sidework'. No, people don't have to quit their jobs if they're being treated 'unfairly' (and that was between her and the manager who gave Tyler the early dismissal). There are proper ways of handling the situation, which she didn't follow (like going through the proper channels in a corporation like that). If she didn't like the outcome, or still felt she was being treated unfairly, she should have looked for another job. Instead, she instigated to make the situation worse and then he got fired.
