  • Step-sister sues step-sister for stolen cash

    2.0
    Most group heath insurance policies contain a subrogation clause. Subrogation is an insurance claims process where a company looks for reimbursement from an at-fault party. In an car accident (as in the episode I saw) the group health plan goes ahead and pays the medical expenses BUT (big but) if/when a third party (auto ins) pays you directly - you are required to reimburse the HEALTH ins for any benefits they issued on your behalf for medical expenses due to that auto accident.

    Judge Judy stated something to the effect of : "I've never HEARD of such a requirement!" How could she not know this. (What else doesn't she know?????)moreless

  • The sad young gay black man

    3.0
    I lost all respect for JJ when she totally humiliated the young gay black man. He ran to the corner of the "courtroom" and was sobbing. She didn't give a rat's behind about him. I was so moved that I actually emailed the show. And of course didn't receive a reply. She was so cruel to this young man, it literally left me in tears. JJ, it's time to move to Florida and hopefully learn some compassion.moreless
  • Women Sues Dog Owner After Dog Bites Her.

    1.0
    Watched an episode in which a woman sued a dog owner. This after the dog bit the woman and the woman's husband threatened to kill the dog. Something Judge Judy didn't even acknowledge, even though she is as particular as she is. Also, the dog owners responsibly had the dog euthanized. But the woman who was bitten was not happy with just the medical bill payment AND the dog being put to sleep. She felt she had to go after the owner for 'pain and suffering' as woman had a scar on her arm but seemed to have no problem moving it, no sympathy and was just money hungry to me. Yet Judge Judy rewarded her additional money. I do believe this was the wrong decision. The plaintiff was bitten at the defendants place when she asked to go into the defendants house to use the least I would recognize that the dog owner was just being polite letting me use her washroom and leave things well alone after getting my medical bill covered. Please be responsible dog owners, if you know your dog is aggressive, don't invite people into your home even if you think you're being polite bc they ask to use your washroom. To those all too willing to kill an animal, recognize that animals are animals, they don't know how to be 'bad'. They just do what they feel they should to protect themselves. This eat or be eaten mentality is not only wrong, it is ignorant. An animal shouldn't have to pay for irresponsible behaviour on the part of the owner. To the plaintiff: you asked to go into the dog owner's home and she was polite enough to let you use the washroom. She did not bring her dog out without a leash, this pet was in the privacy of her own home and, again, she was doing you a favour. But a medical bill for a bite was not enough for you. She spoke about how hard it was to put down a family member and that your husband said that if she didn't 'take care' of the dog, he would. I am far more afraid of people like you and your husband than a dog starting to show signs of aggression.moreless
  • Turned Off By Judge(mental) Judy

    7.0
    I once enjoyed Judge Judy. But the incident in her court with the puppy and lawsuit against her involving the China (specifically her remarks about how the woman should "get a job", which has nothing to do with whether or not something the woman already bought with her husband belongs to her or not.



    Honestly, in American courtroom dramas, most of the judges seem to speak out against people on social security or disability. I believe this is because the public feels the need to vilify one specific social group to feel in control of a situation (the economic trouble we're face) they have no real control over.



    The last good courtroom drama I've ever seen was "All Rise For Julian Clary".moreless
