>> Judge Judy: Someone
threatened you with a gun.
Who?
>> This lady right here.
>> Announcer:
Was her neighbor a danger?
>> Judge Judy:
What proof do you have that
the plaintiff was selling drugs?
>> Actually, I really don't.
>> Announcer:
Or is she the victim
of an overactive imagination?
>> Judge Judy: She was stalking
you through the ceiling.
>> On the wall, listening.
>> Judge Judy: How can you tell
that through a wall?
>> Yeah, trust me.
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no.
I can't trust you.
I'm not trusting you.
>> Announcer: "Judge Judy."
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Robinson,
how long have you been living
in your apartment?
>> Since July of 2014.
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Sanders,
how long have you been living
in the plaintiff's building?
>> Since August of 2017.
>> Judge Judy: And you
are her downstairs neighbor.
>> That's correct.
>> Judge Judy:
Where did you live prior
to living in the building
with Ms. Robinson?
>> In Richmond.
>> Judge Judy:
What kind of an apartment?
>> It was a triplex.
>> Judge Judy:
Who did you live with?
>> Myself.
>> Judge Judy:
How long did you live there?
>> About a year.
>> Judge Judy:
And why did you move?
>> I got accepted in a program
at Oakland on Section 8,
and Oakland wouldn't let me use
my certificate in Richmond,
so I had to move to Oakland.
>> Judge Judy:
What kind of certificate?
>> Housing.
>> Judge Judy: And prior
to living in the triplex,
where did you live?
>> I lived 69th Avenue
in Oakland, California.
>> Judge Judy:
How long did you live there?
>> Seven years.
>> Judge Judy:
Are you out during the day,
or do you stay home?
>> Yes, I'm out during the day.
>> Judge Judy:
Now, your lawsuit,
Ms. Robinson, claims
a history of harassment...
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: ...by Ms. Sanders
when she moved in.
She made a series of complaints
about noise
coming from your apartment.
Are you in your apartment
during the day, or are you out?
>> I'm out.
>> Judge Judy:
Who do you work for?
>> I worked for a locked
mental health facility
in San Francisco.
>> Judge Judy:
And what about you, Ms. Sanders?
>> I worked at San Quentin
Prison, but right now I'm on
disability, medical issues.
>> Judge Judy: How long
have you been on disability?
>> Seven months.
>> Judge Judy: Was that
a job-related disability?
>> No, it's not.
>> Judge Judy: Would you tell me
what the complaints were
and what you allege
the harassment was that
was committed by Ms. Sanders?
>> Well, the complaints first
started out as noise complaints,
that there was banging
and excessive noise
coming from my unit,
and it escalated...
>> Judge Judy: Do you live there
alone or with anyone else?
>> With my daughter.
She's 26 years old.
>> Judge Judy: Is she home
during the day or out?
>> No, she's out.
She works.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> So, yeah, the complaints
started with simple noise
complaints, you know,
banging, excessive noise.
>> Judge Judy:
Do you have those?
>> I do.
>> Judge Judy:
I'd like to take a look at them.
>> This is the first complaint
that I received.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
The first letter that you wrote
to Oakland Housing
was in March of 2018?
>> Yeah, it was March.
>> Judge Judy:
And that was about a young man
who was living with
Ms. Robinson.
>> Yes, her boyfriend.
>> Judge Judy: You have
a boyfriend living with you?
>> No, I do not.
>> Judge Judy: You have any
photographs of this boyfriend?
>> No, I don't have
any photograph,
but I have a police log
which he answered the door.
>> Judge Judy:
I'd like to see that.
>> I should have highlighted.
I'm sorry.
>> Judge Judy: The first letter
indicates that the person
who's living with you
is a person who was raised
in the neighborhood and alleges
that he's a drug dealer
in the neighborhood
and indicates where he stands
when he does those sales.
Well, there was a man
in your apartment.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Who was it?
>> April 9th was my birthday.
I had a get-together, and...
>> Judge Judy:
Just tell me who was the male.
He...
>> He was a male friend
who came from Houston,
Texas, for my birthday.
>> Judge Judy: That doesn't
sound right to me, Ms. Robinson.
>> No, he's my friend.
>> Judge Judy:
And I'm going to tell you why it
doesn't sound right to me,
because that all sounds
very innocent, but if the police
came to the door,
and your friend who was there
to celebrate your birthday,
and if the police asks
who he was...
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: ...and if it was
a nice get-together,
came somebody to celebrate
your birthday...
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: ...then he would
say, "My name is John Smith,
and I'm here
to celebrate my friend
Ms. Robinson's birthday,"
instead of saying, "I refuse to
identify myself or anybody else
living in the apartment."
>> I was at work at the time.
>> Judge Judy: Uh-huh.
>> And I received a call
at work, and he let me know.
He said, "Deanne, the police
just came to your home."
>> Judge Judy: Don't tell me.
That's hearsay.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: And if he was
a witness for you,
he should have been sitting
right over there.
Okay.
Now I'm going to go to you.
You told the police
that the plaintiff
also was selling drugs.
>> That's correct.
>> Judge Judy: And what proof
do you have of that?
>> Actually...
>> Judge Judy: Not actually.
What proof do you have that
the plaintiff was selling drugs?
>> Actually, I really don't.
>> Judge Judy: So you don't.
>> I don't.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
That's one.
And I want you to tell me
what fact you have to have made
a report to the police
that she was stalking you
through the ceiling.
That's what you say here.
>> Yeah, that's what I said.
>> Judge Judy: But that...
just a second.
I want you to tell me...
>> Which is really true.
>> Judge Judy: ...what proof
you have
that she was stalking you
through the ceiling.
>> She be on the wall,
