0:01 Don't move your head.
0:04 Do you understand?
0:04 >> Yes, Your Honor.
0:05 >> Judge Judy: Perfect!
0:06 So far, you understand, Nick,
0:08 that there is absolutely
0:10 no reason for you to be in the
0:12 car with Matthew to go over to
0:14 Nick's house to discuss his
0:16 ex-girlfriend with her current
0:18 boyfriend, that's gonna result
0:21 in anything good.
0:22 >> Correct.
0:23 >> Judge Judy: You understand
0:24 that?
0:24 >> Correct, I do.
0:25 >> Judge Judy: I just want to
0:26 make sure you understand that...
0:27 >> Yes.
0:28 >> Judge Judy: ...because your
0:29 mother gave me a whole thing,
0:30 here in the complaint, that
0:31 makes it sound as if the two of
0:33 you should have halos on the top
0:35 of your head, and I know that
0:36 that's a lot of baloney.
0:37 >> Correct.
0:38 >> Judge Judy: So, you go over
0:40 to Max' house?
0:41 >> Well, I had gotten in my car
0:43 now with another friend of mine.
0:45 >> Judge Judy: Just a second.
0:46 You got another friend?
0:47 >> Yeah, I had --
0:48 >> Judge Judy: Oh, just a
0:49 second.
0:49 Tell me about the other<i> friend</i>
0:50 that you had.
0:51 >> He was with me when we drove
0:52 to Qdoba, and then...
0:53 >> Judge Judy: Just a second.
0:54 >> ...we talked awhile.
0:55 >> Judge Judy: Did he get out of
0:57 your car, or was your friend
0:58 waiting in<i> your</i> car?
0:59 >> Well, we were -- we were kind
1:00 of just hanging out around
1:02 the cars.
1:02 We weren't really in anyone's
1:03 car.
1:03 We were just hanging out around
1:05 the two cars.
1:05 >> Judge Judy: You told me a
1:06 moment ago that you were in --
1:08 >> Yeah. I was in there, yes.
1:09 >> Judge Judy: ...that you were
1:10 in the car...
1:11 >> Yes, that's correct.
1:11 >> Judge Judy: ...with Matthew.
1:13 >> Yes.
1:13 >> Judge Judy: Where was your
1:14 friend?
1:14 >> He was around the car, too.
1:16 I don't know exactly where he
1:17 was, but he was around the car.
1:18 >> Judge Judy: But not<i> in</i>
1:19 the car?
1:20 >> No.
1:20 >> Judge Judy: Now Matthew gets
1:22 an address.
1:22 >> Mm-hmm.
1:23 >> Judge Judy: What's the next
1:25 thing that Matthew says to you?
1:26 >> Well, he wanted me to go up
1:28 to the house with him, but I
1:29 necessarily didn't really want
1:30 to go up to the house, but I had
1:32 nothing else to do, so I
1:33 followed him up there.
1:36 >> Judge Judy: You've got where
1:37 this is going?
1:37 >> I -- Yeah.
1:38 >> Judge Judy: You've got where
1:40 this is going?
1:41 Now, is what you are suggesting
1:42 to me that four of you went to
1:45 Max' house?
1:47 >> No, I did not go.
1:47 >> Judge Judy: How many?
1:48 >> I believe it was three that
1:49 went to his house.
1:50 And then I was with my friend on
1:51 another street.
1:52 We weren't even parked at the
1:53 house.
1:53 >> Judge Judy: Just a second.
1:54 >> Yes.
1:54 >> Judge Judy: On what other
1:55 street were you with your
1:56 friend?
1:57 >> It was down another street.
1:58 >> Judge Judy: How far did you
1:59 have to drive from the Mexican
2:01 grill to get to the other
2:02 street?
2:02 >> 10 minutes, 5 minutes.
2:03 >> Judge Judy: 10 minutes.
2:04 Well, what did you drive
2:06 10 minutes for to park a block
2:08 away?
2:09 Do you get where I'm going, or
2:10 do you not get where I'm going?
2:12 >> I still don't think we should
2:13 have damage to our car.
2:14 I know he shouldn't have been
2:15 there.
2:16 >> Judge Judy: What kind of
2:17 "shouldn't have been there"?
2:18 You had a gang going to his
2:19 house over a girl!
2:21 And if he came out of his house
2:23 and hit your car with a bat,
2:25 well, have<i> him</i> fix it!
2:26 You get where I'm going?
2:29 >> [ Sighs ]
2:30 >> Judge Judy: Do you get where
2:31 I'm going?
2:31 Yeah.
2:33 You had no business going there.
2:34 He was looking for --
2:36 Smarty-pants over there was
2:37 looking for trouble.
2:38 >> Right.
2:39 >> Judge Judy: He was going
2:40 there for no good, and you went
2:41 with him.
2:42 >> That's true.
2:42 >> Judge Judy: You and your
2:44 friends went with him.
2:45 >> That's true.
2:45 >> Judge Judy: Good.
2:47 That's -- We're done.
2:49 Your case is dismissed.
2:50 >> I have admitting that he --
2:52 >> Judge Judy: I actually
2:54 believe that he probably took a
2:55 bat and hit your car.
2:57 Stand up.
2:58 Miss Irish, I want you to pay
2:59 careful attention to me.
3:01 I actually believe that, at some
3:03 point, this young man came out
3:04 of his house with a bat and hit
3:06 your car.
3:07 [ Raps desk ]
3:09 Have<i> him</i> pay for it, because he
3:10 shouldn't have been there.
3:12 They went as a gang to his
3:15 house, over a girl.
3:17 >> But --
3:17 >> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
3:18 He drove 10 minutes, from a safe
3:21 parking lot to around the corner
3:23 from his house.
3:24 >> I agree he shouldn't have
3:25 been there, but...
3:26 >> Judge Judy: Absolutely.
3:27 >> ...I don't think anybody
3:28 should be damaged or hurt
3:29 or hit.
3:30 I mean, I don't think that we
3:31 should have to pay for the car
3:32 damage.
3:33 >> Your Honor, I wasn't --
3:34 >> Judge Judy: I don't care what
3:35 you think!
3:36 What I'm telling you is, your
3:38 son's judgment, or lack thereof,
3:40 caused your car to be damaged.
3:42 He went with a group of people,
3:44 looking for no --
3:44 >> Uh --
3:45 >> Judge Judy: I'm speaking,
3:46 I'm speaking.
3:47 Who were looking for no good,
3:49 including this wise guy.
3:52 And your son says, "I shouldn't
3:53 have been there.
3:54 I shouldn't have gone.
3:55 I was with my other friends."
3:57 "Why did you go?"
3:57 "I had nothing else to do."
3:58 You should, you know --
4:00 >> I agree with that, except for
4:02 our car shouldn't have damage
4:03 on it.
4:04 >> Judge Judy: It shouldn't.
4:05 I think he should fix it.
4:06 I think your son should fix it.
4:08 >> Mnh-mnh.
4:09 >> I have evidence from Max
4:10 saying he wanted to pay for
4:11 the car.
4:12 >> Judge Judy: I don't care.
4:13 That's why we're here.
4:14 If he wanted to pay for the car,
4:15 he should have paid for it.
4:16 >> Your Honor --
4:16 >> Judge Judy: I'm telling
4:18 you -- I'm telling you, I
4:20 believe that Max hit the car
4:22 with the bat.
4:23 He's not paying for it.
4:25 <i>He's</i> paying for it, because
4:28 your son should never have been
4:29 there.
4:29 And that's the lesson that
4:31 you're supposed to teach him.
4:32 You're supposed to teach him,
4:34 "Don't get involved in incidents
4:36 that could become dangerous for
4:38 you or somebody else."
4:40 This smarty-pants was looking
4:41 for no good, and he knows it and
4:43 he went with him anyway 'cause
4:45 he had nothing else to do -- he
4:47 and his other friends.
4:48 So you pay for the car.
4:49 And if you want the appropriate
4:51 person to be charged for it,
4:53 charge the one who had nothing
4:54 to do that night.
4:55 We're done. Goodbye.
4:57 [ Applause ]
