you and I were smart, Mr. Green,
what I would do is say, "I don't
want the dog.
I don't want any connection
to her."
Do you understand?
Now, if you maintain a
connection with her for any
reason -- I don't know who this
waif is.
Does she live with you?
>> She's living with me right
now, but we are just friends.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
Compassion is one thing.
Stupidity is another thing.
Do you understand?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: I don't know what
your drill is.
I don't know what your thing is.
I would forget about the dog,
because I would cut any tie with
her, because if I say to you --
and I actually believe that,
legally, the dog is yours --
she's not gonna leave you alone.
Do you understand?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Judge Judy: She's not
going to leave you alone if you
have this dog.
And I wouldn't want that energy
around me if I were normal.
Now, I'm not so sure you're
normal.
[ Laughter ]
Seri-- I'm speaking seriously.
And it's not funny.
I'm not sure you're normal,
because I couldn't live with
that energy, because I'm
not so sure about that energy
right now.
Having long experience, I'm not
so sure about.
And I don't know who this waif
is that's looking at me with
blue eyes.
I have no idea who she is.
I know she's a person who has a
child -- right? --
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: ...that doesn't
live with you.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: That lives
with her.
>> Because it's the same thing
with the dog is happening to my
child right now.
>> Judge Judy: Ach!
>> [ Chuckles ]
>> Judge Judy: You're all nuts.
[ Laughter ]
Okay, so, she doesn't owe you
any rent.
I think that it's wise, -- If
you want me to give you an order
that you can go and retrieve
Molly, I will do that, but that
ties you to her 'cause she's
gonna get erratic one day and
come to your house and break a
window or break a door.
Do you understand?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Judge Judy: So I think that
it would be stupid for you to go
and get the dog.
So you have to tell me,
Mr. Green, what you want.
>> She's man's best friend, and
that dog means a lot to me.
>> Judge Judy: I'll give you an
order to go get her.
Do you want me to give you an
order to get the dog back?
>> I want the dog back.
>> Judge Judy: [ Raps desk ]
I'm gonna give you an order.
You want to go and get it?
Go and get it with a marshal.
The dog belongs to you.
Now, the next part of your case
has to do with an assault, and
that's the assault where she
threw a dog dish at you and she
went to hit you.
You filed a police report.
>> Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: And I'd like to
see a copy of that.
>> Well, that's a difficult
deal.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, so that you
don't have a copy of the police
report.you have a
counterclaim, and your
counterclaim is for false
arrest.
So I want you to tell me what
happened on the day that you
were at the house, retrieving
Molly.
>> I was --
>> Judge Judy: Start.
>> I was moving out of his
house, and I said, "I'm gonna
leave Molly here for a few days,
until I get settled in the
house."
And he goes, "We got to talk
about that."
And I'm like, "Well, there's
nothing to talk about."
>> Judge Judy: I just want you
to tell me --
>> He chased me out of the
house, and I said, "Well, I'm
just gonna take her now if
you're not gonna give her in a
couple days."
All my stuff was still inside.
He freaked out, threw a fit.
I can never go back there
because of what he did.
>> Judge Judy: Tell me
what you did.
>> I didn't do anything except
try grabbing Molly.
And I had groceries in my hand.
I had a bunch of food from the
fridgerator.
He tried grabbing the leash from
Molly.
And there's a little bit of
scuffle because of the fact that
he's trying to get Molly.
And the groceries fell.
Maybe that's where the syrup
must have come.
And I don't know.
I didn't see syrup, 'cause I was
on my way out the door.
My tunnel is to the door.
Got in the car, and as I'm going
to the car, he come up to the
hood and he did that to me.
And I backed up and left.
And that was a simple thing.
>> Judge Judy: Okay, fine.
>> Then, later on, like nine
days later, cops coming to my
house, and they tell me
I have to go to court
for a domestic violence.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> So I went to court, and they
dismissed it because it was
ridiculous.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Did you have a trial?
>> I've not heard from the
police since.
>> Judge Judy: Did you ever go
to court?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Did you go to
court?
>> Yes, I did.
>> Judge Judy: Yes, and you got
a dismissal.
He wasn't there.
>> It's prosecutor discretion.
>> Judge Judy: You got --
Very good.
Your counterclaim is dismissed.
>> He wasn't there, because --
>> Judge Judy: The case is
resolved in the following way.
I am preparing an order that
allows you to go and get Molly.
Execute it within five days.
>> [ Voice breaking ] It's my
son's dog I've had since she was
a puppy.
>> Judge Judy: Five days.
>> Really?
>> Judge Judy: Do you
understand?
>> It's my family's dog.
She's 14.
We've had her for 14 freakin'
years.
[ Sobs ] She's almost dead.
>> Judge Judy: Thank you.
We're done.
>> You're gonna give my dog away
