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