>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Did you call the police?
>> Yes, my wife did.
>> Judge Judy:
Do you have a police report?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Judge Judy:
I'd like to read it.
>> I also have
restraining orders as well.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to first
see the police report.
Listen.
Mr. Levine, did you write
this thing, "Total lies. Truth"?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
Did you write that?
Well, that's ridiculous.
I mean, what kind of stupidity
is that to write
on a piece of evidence
that you're trying to show me?
It shows me that
an otherwise intelligent man
is a little nutty.
>> Well, I just wanted
to show the truth or --
>> Judge Judy:
Wanted to show what?
You wanted me to say,
"Oh, he said this is total lies.
I'm sure it's total lies.
He says...
Marks here 'truth.'
Therefore it must be the truth."
Was that designed
to influence me?
>> Well, it's a disturbing
thing for me to read.
>> Judge Judy: It's just stupid.
Okay, so now I have a couple
of questions for you, Mr. Silva.
So it's clear to me that there
are a couple of things that are
actually
annoying to both of you.
One of the things that's
annoying to Mr. Levine...
It's annoying, nothing that
he really has control over
because there is an easement
that legally permits people
to park in front of his house.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: But not only
was your tenant parked there,
but your tenant had a guest
that was also parked there.
Now, you told me earlier,
Mr. Silva,
that you don't park there...
>> That's correct, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
...because you have a garage
and place,
so you have no need to park
with easement.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Well, the night
before your camping trip,
evidently, based upon
what you told the police,
you did
in fact park your truck there.
>> Could I explain that,
Your Honor?
>> Judge Judy: You're going
to explain it to me.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: You did in fact
park your truck on the easement.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And along with
your tenant's car,
and you know
that there's an issue there.
You chose to park it there
despite the fact that
you know that it's an irritant,
and you have your own space,
and what you told the police
was that you were so uneasy
about parking there that
you came out to check on it...
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: ...every few
hours.
When you finally came out
in the morning,
you found how many tires low?
>> One.
>> Judge Judy: One tire low.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And it was
your impression,
based upon that,
that the plaintiff had purposely
let the air out of your tire
in retaliation for your parking
on his easement.
That's what you told the police.
>> Well, yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
That's what you told the police,
and you lost it
when you saw him,
and you did, in fact,
go up to him and punch him.
That's what you told the police.
"I lost it."
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: And then you got
into an altercation.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy:
That's what you told the police.
I'm reading
from their statement,
and they have no reason to lie,
and believe me, I am not reading
what he says, "Lies,"
what he says, "Truth."
I'm looking at what you...
>> Yes, Your Honor...
>> Judge Judy: ...told
the police.
So just a couple of questions
because I'm not saying
that what he did
was appropriate, inappropriate.
He probably let the air
out of your tires.
It was early in the morning.
I don't know where he gets
his willows.
I don't care if it's private
property
or it's public property.
I gather he annoys you
because he runs his compressor
early in the morning
because he's an early riser,
and it's annoying,
and he's probably annoying
everybody
if he's running a compressor...
>> Absolutely.
>> Judge Judy: ...at 6:00
in the morning
because that would make him
unneighborly and an idiot.
>> Your Honor...
>> Judge Judy: That wasn't
a question.
I said, if you're doing that,
that would make you
unneighborly and an idiot.
If you're running a machine
outside early in the morning
when
most people are sleeping...
>> Well, 7:00
is the legal time.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I have to tell you, if you're
running a compressor that's loud
at 7:00 in the morning,
you are not neighborly
and an idiot.
It doesn't give him
license to assault...
It doesn't even give him license
to assault you,
Mr. Levine, if you let
the air out of his tire,
which I think you probably did.
>> No, I didn't, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Yeah, right.
