>> I was helping her
while she was on the clock.
She was a delivery driver
for a pizza company
that's in St. Louis.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
about that.
I want to know how the pen
got stuck in the sunroof.
Don't look there. Here.
>> We were all making
a police report.
We were all writing on top
of the vehicle.
>> Judge Judy: Who was making
a police report?
>> Me, Louise, and the officers
and maybe one other person.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Why were you making
a police report?
>> Because an incident happened
at her job that day
while I was working with her
that needed a police report.
>> Judge Judy: What incident?
>> That's not true, Your Honor.
>> She got hit by a car
while she was on the job,
and we had to come back
to make a police report.
>> That's not true, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: I don't want you
to say anything.
You see how she let you talk?
No. I want go to further.
This is in September of 2015.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: She got hit by a
car.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: 'Cause I want you
to remember this is very easy to
figure out.
She called you?
>> No. I was working with her.
She was working
as a delivery driver,
and we were driving.
I was helping her babysit her
child 'cause she didn't have --
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no.
She's a pizza-delivery person?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: In whose car
was she delivering pizzas?
>> In her car.
>> Judge Judy: Well, what were
you doing there?
>> Helping her.
>> Judge Judy: Helping her how?
>> Because she could not see
at night at the time
and she needed a babysitter.
>> Judge Judy: So, you had the
baby in the car?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: I don't believe a
word you just said to me.
>> It's very true.
>> Judge Judy: You have a police
report?
>> The police report?
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Do you have the police report?
>> No. It was --
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
Just a second.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Do you have an
attorney?
>> No, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have an
attorney?
>> No, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Was there a
lawsuit filed against anyone in
that accident?
>> No, Your Honor, 'cause
that's not true.
>> Judge Judy: What's not true?
>> What she just got
through describing.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I'm asking you a question.
Was there an accident?
>> No, Your Honor, there was not
an accident at all.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So, this sunroof broke as a
result of somebody dropping a
pen on the top of the car?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Getting into.
And my question to you,
Ms. Chatman, is,
after this incident,
you lived together
in the home September, October,
November, December, January,
February, and March.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So my question
is why, almost a year later,
are you suing her?
You lived together.
She used your --
Continued to use your car
to transport your daughter,
continued to take her to
daycare.
You worked, baked cookies,
lived in the house together.
Why, a year later, are we here?
>> Due to the fact
because I still needed someone
to watch my kid
and she didn't move
out the house
until February of 2016
and she gave me the runaround
saying that she would pay
for the sunroof, and
I was working only a temp job,
so I tried to save enough money
to get the sunroof fixed.
But while trying to save up
money to get the sunroof fixed,
I was also right along
with helping Celia with bills
and also house materials
for the house at the same time.
So that was all hard at one
time.
>> Judge Judy: When was the
sunroof fixed?
>> The sunroof didn't get fixed
until May of this year,
because I wound up getting an
actual stable job instead of a
temp job.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
photographs
of the broken sunroof.
>> I don't have pictures
of the broken sunroof.
>> Judge Judy: Well, but you
could see it was broken,
correct?
>> Yes.
I could see that it was broken.
>> Judge Judy: Yeah. I assume
that if you felt
as if she was responsible,
you would use that iPhone that
you've got there to take
a picture of it if you thought
you might sue her.
>> I should have, but I didn't
take pictures of the broken
sunroof.
>> Judge Judy: You certainly
should have.y.
Can I see the bill
that you had to fix it?
Oh, Byrd, can I have your
glasses?
I think I left mine inside.
Am I going to be blind
from your glasses?
Does that say $580.58?
>> Byrd: Can I have my glasses?
[ Laughter ]
$580.58.
Exactly.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
Judgment for the plaintiff
in the amount of $580.58.
We're done
