That must have been a rerun because I think I deleted it without watching. I'm getting kind of burned out on JJ--again!--so I'm avoiding anything but new episodes. Can you fill me in a little more on the case?

it's on right now on the 10/55 channel in nyc. i know that means nothing to you but they rerun judge judy eps at 10 and 1030 pm.
this is a confusing case... there are two plaintiffs and like 5 defendants. and they are being sued for many different things.
i have cut myself quite a few times -- in fact, i have a good 5 scratches that drew blood from today alone from working on my air conditioner support bracket [we will start getting fined if we don't have it] and i know when i need stitches or not. i have cut my pinky and knew immediately i needed stitches. this woman was massive, like the kind you don't want to take a shower with in prison and drop your soap....

Hello everyone! I'm baaaaack! I didn't know this board was still active, so I've stayed away awhile. Now I see there's 12 pages of JJ for me to get through. I'm glad to see so many familiar faces - Grace, Mike, Gubbio (who found me on another site), and so many others. In case you don't know who I am I was formerly 'pvd' from IMDB. So glad to see this forum is alive and kicking! Can't wait for new episodes to start the end of this month, so I will be watching / posting again.
See you all soon!

I always found her irritating. I'd always root for whoever she was berating no matter how dumb or trashy they were.

Does anyone else notice how often Judy asks people, "How do you support yourself?" If you and I have a grievance with each other, what difference does it make (to her) how we support ourselves? What does this have to do with the case before her ? I don't hear any other TV judges asking this question on a routine basis. It's just Judy's way of ferreting out information, so she can belittle people if they are on any kind of public assistance. It's her game: She sees herself as the guardian of the public trust. She's either constipated -- or having an orgasm.....

She's either constipated -- or having an orgasm..... On one side she does say that the plaintiff has no money so they can't afford to pay you now (srsly, no other judge even thinks that way!). Then on the other side... Take a look at most of the people being sued. People with no ambition, no job, plenty of kids... She only belittles those who abuse the system to (and rightfully so). Funny how these people always go on JJ anyway. Have they NOT seen the show????

deembastille You might mean "defendant" here, because I have heard her say to the plaintiff that the defendant has no money, so how did you expect them to repay you? (It's usually the plaintiff who is suing for money.) I agree, her logic is WAY off. Being broke is not a defense for not meeting your financial obligations.

deembastilleThat's your opinion, to which you are entitled. However, "wanting to pay" and being broke doesn't cancel a debt. "Good intentions" can't be deposited in the bank. And, I doubt that Judy is interested in her litigants "feeding their kids." She's hardly interested in the FACTS of the case before her.

But people need to realize you can't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. How is she NOT interested in the facts of the case. She comes to her bench and tells everyone the facts of what led them to court.

deembastilleOh, she knows what the case is about. But, she won't let anyone speak or express themselves. She interrupts. ("Just a second.") I've always felt that she LEADS the litigants to say what SHE wants them to say, so she can rule the way she wants to. In many cases, I think she has her mind made up before her ass even hits the chair. I also think she's wrong in REFUSING to hear parts of their claims. She doesn't "do" pots and pans and household items. ("Her parents didn't send her to college for that.") Why not? That's what she's there for. If I felt I was cheated out of something, the claim should at least be heard.

You have no idea how happy I am to see you. As you'll notice this board hasn't been terribly active, but let's try to change that, okay? Hope you're well and happy!

If I felt I was cheated out of something, the claim should at least be heard. It annoys me to no end when she refuses to consider certain parts of a claim, like pots and pans. Okay, in her world--where you make $45M a year for sitting in a pretend court on TV--pots and pans may seem trivial. But in the real world, where people have to use their hard-earned money to pay for things like that, it can be a very big deal. My live-in helper and her boyfriend work hard but are always broke. If they went to court and included something like pots and pans in their claim, I assure you that would be a big deal to them as they don't have the spare money to buy replacements. Ugh.

GraceFromSoCal Yeah, we've said this before. I just don't get how she sits there and makes up her own rules -- and acts like she's above it all. It really shouldn't be allowed. She's the "arbiter," but should be held to SOME rules.

Often she seems to take a disliking to certain people. She snaps at them and makes them nervous. Then it doesn't matter what the facts of the case are, she's not really interested. Other times I like her judgments just fine and I'm amazed by her quickness. But often she makes me furious.

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?

@doggiedaddy I was listening to this case from the other room, so I didn't get the part about the crossing guard. However, I agree with you. Again Judy changes her "logic" to fit her ruling. In the past, when anyone runs into a car with a bike or a skateboard, Judy rules for the one with the damages. So, this girl RAN INTO THE CAR with her body -- and caused damage. Explain to me the difference. It's really irrelevant what would have happened if the child was killed. That had nothing to do with the case. That's Judy muddling up the facts of the case -- to justify her ruling. The old bag should retire.
