>> Your Honor, on the weekends,
Jaman would consume
a 24-pack of Bud Light,
and, once he was drunk,
he would start waving his gun
around and making all sorts of
crazy, bigoted -- I'm sorry.
It was just more than
I could deal with.
>> Judge Judy: Fine.
So you moved.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So is
what you're telling me
that you never had an agreement
to pay him $400 a month rent?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: So you were
not supposed to pay him
any rent for his --
>> Correct. I was supposed to
take care of the house.
>> Judge Judy: Well, moving
the trash cans in and out
and taking in the mail
is not taking care of the house.
Did you clean the house?
>> Yes.
I cleaned the common areas.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> Your Honor?
>> Judge Judy: What?
>> That is absolutely,
completely, entirely wrong.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
She lived there six weeks.
>> Your Honor, I --
>> Judge Judy: What else?
>> Your Honor, I kept a ledger.
>> Judge Judy: What else?
>> She stayed in my house
for at least 2 months.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> I agreed to allow her
February, but I have --
>> Judge Judy: Great.
Could we move on?
>> I'd rather not, Your Honor,
because --
>> Judge Judy: Yeah,
we're gonna move on.
>> Okay, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: What else?
>> I repaired her vehicle.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
When did you repair her vehicle?
>> I repaired her vehicle
on March 7th.
>> Judge Judy: And you were
living in the house
when he was waving around
the gun and being obnoxious
because he was drinking
a 24-pack every week,
and your car broke down, and you
let him pay to have it fixed.
Right?
>> Yes, and --
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Just a second.
I want to know who
I'm dealing with.
Do you understand
what I'm saying?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Got what
I'm saying?
So now you're living with
somebody in their
house, and they're obnoxious,
and they're making all kinds
of racist statements,
and they're getting drunk,
and you're very uncomfortable,
but your car breaks down,
and how much money did you take
from him to have it fixed?
>> $990, which I paid back.
>> Judge Judy: Show me.
>> I have money-order receipts.
The first payment was $200
in cash, and, after I paid it,
Jaman pretended that I hadn't
given him any money.
And after that, every time
I made a payment on that,
I used a money order,
and I kept the receipt.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see
them.
How much was the car
to have fixed?
>> It was $956.87.
>> Judge Judy: How much did
she pay you by money order?
>> I never got any money
from her by money order.
I did get some money in cash,
which I've got listed
on my ledger
because I kept distinct records.
Everything she's saying about me
waving around a gun and drinking
a 24-pack is insane.
>> Judge Judy: Show me
where these were sent to him.
>> If we track them by the
number, then we can see the --
>> Judge Judy: Oh, I'm not
tracking -- What?
You want me to track them
by the numbers?
First of all, it doesn't add up.
If it was $990,
and you gave him $200 in cash,
that means that you overpaid,
because these add up to $893,
and if you gave him
$200 in cash -- and they're all
for odd numbers.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: One is for $280.
Looks like an insurance
payment or something.
$251. One is for $200.
One is for $62.
It doesn't make sense to me.
work do you do?
>> I started a nonprofit
organization.
>> Judge Judy: You started
a 501(c)(3) organization?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: And how do you
pay bills, and what do you do
with money that you collect for
this 501(c)(3)?
>> 90% of the contributions
go towards the actual
building project.
>> Judge Judy: Which is what?
>> A tiny-home community
that is built and sustained
by the homeless population,
and the residents are elders,
people that are over
80 that need assistance.
They need someone
to do light housework.
>> Judge Judy: Very good.
Then you have a bank account.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Bank,
you have a check.
Check, you deposit.
I don't believe you.
>> Wow.
>> Judge Judy: Wow.
Put your hand down,
not interested.
There is no reason that somebody
who has a checking account
and somebody who was smart
enough to start a 501(c)(3)
uses Western Union
to repay a debt
that has no name on it.
>> I thought it was the most
secure way
to make payments to him.
>> Judge Judy: Well, then I
wouldn't donate
any money to your 501(c)(3)
if that's what you thought.
>> Hmm.
>> Judge Judy: She gave you
how much in cash?
>> $200.
>> Judge Judy: And the
auto-repair bill was how much,
$900?
>> It was $956.87.
>> Judge Judy: So she owes you
$756 for the auto repair.
What else?
>> I gave her a gasoline advance
when she borrowed my vehicle.
>> Judge Judy: $756.
We're finished.
Thank you very much.
You have five days
to get your property.
