that was high in the house,
I don't know.
So I want before she tells me
her story, before I finish
the medical records and see
if your story is consistent
with that, I want you to tell
me -- Listen to me carefully --
your story...
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: ...about what
happened on July the 13th.
Go.
>> Judge Judy --
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no, no.
Don't say to me "Judge Judy."
I know who I am.
>> Okay.
That is totally not what
happened.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I want you to tell me what
happened.
>> When I came home from school,
she was in the house.
She wasn't supposed to be there.
She didn't pay my sister her
portion of the rent, so we was
in the kitchen, and I'm like,
"Kyley, what are you doing
in the house?
You're not supposed to be here.
You didn't pay my sister's
portion of the rent."
She was boiling water for
coffee that she was drinking,
and the handle was out on
the stove.
She was not laying down or
anything.
She --
>> Judge Judy: No, no, no!
Don't tell me what she wasn't.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: I'm reading
the medical records.
I want you to tell me what
happened.
So she was boiling water on
the stove.
>> We was in the kitchen, and
then we got into the argument,
and as she went to push me,
the handle was sticking out
from the pot of water, and
the water poured -- came all
down here on her.
>> That's not true.
>> Judge Judy: Not consistent
with the medical records,
your story.
I read what you said in
the answer, but the medical
records, what the doctors
observed of where the injuries
were on her inner thigh are
totally inconsistent with
this story that you just told
me of water being spilled.
If it's spilled, it's on
the outer section of your thigh.
Unless she was standing with
her legs "gushpreyt"...
>> Yeah, yeah.
>> Judge Judy: ...totally
"gushpreyt," boiling water.
Do you understand?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: So the story that
you give me is a whole lot
of "Who shot John?"
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Yes, it is.
It's a whole lot of
"Who shot John?"
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: And the reason --
It wasn't a fake police officer.
>> It wasn't?
>> Judge Judy: 'Cause what you
say is you were lying in bed
naked, and she came in and
poured scolding water on you.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: The medical
records --
>> I said he was fugazi because
he did not arrest her.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
I don't know what you're on now.
I don't care.
The reason that they didn't
arrest her -- that doesn't mean
he's a fake cop -- is because
you were so high that night
that when they asked her what
happened, she gave this
cockamamie story, and since they
couldn't get a cogent story
from you because you were so
high, they said, "She's looking
at me like a Basset Hound with
those eyes that say I'm telling
you the truth."
That's the way she spoke to
the cop, and that's why she
wasn't arrested.
I don't believe her because
the cop certainly didn't look
at these medical records because
the medical records are totally
inconsistent with this baloney
story you just told me.
>> She wasn't even in
the apartment when the cop
showed up.
She had flee the scene when
the cop showed up.
>> Judge Judy: The reason that
they didn't take you seriously
is because you were so high
on drugs that you were in an
altered state.
Do you understand?
>> [ Sighs ] No.
>> Judge Judy: That doesn't mean
she didn't do it.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: I'm telling you
that the reason that the police
didn't take you seriously
was because you were on another
planet.
Do you understand?
That doesn't excuse her
behavior, but you asked me
a question.
You said, "He's a fake cop."
He's not a fake cop.
He couldn't get anything from
you -- neither could
the doctor -- because, according
to the doctor who examined you,
you were so high and in such
an altered state, he couldn't
get a history.
The only thing that you were
able to tell him was that
somebody poured boiling water
on you, and the medical records
are totally consistent with that
story.
Do you understand?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: So you're
partially to blame for the fact
that they didn't arrest her.
Do you understand?
How old are you?
>> I'm 36.
>> Judge Judy: Why don't you go
into rehab?
>> I did.
>> Judge Judy: For how long?
>> For about two months.
>> Judge Judy: Didn't work.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: You know, you're
lucky you're not doing 10 years.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: I'm telling you.
You're lucky you're not doing
10 years, 'cause if somebody put
this all together, and if it
wasn't for the fact that they
found lots of drug people on
the night of the 13th,
which is what you say --
"We were all smoking that
night."
I mean, every single page says,
from every different doctor
who examined you, it says,
"Disoriented and high on PCP.
Uncooperative and substance
abuse.
Flat affect."
That's why.
What she did was terrible.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: What she did was
terrible.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: They didn't take
you seriously.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: And that is not
an excuse for them, but part
of the reason they didn't take
you seriously is because you
were your own worst enemy.
>> [ Voice breaking ] Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Well, that's it.
>> [ Sighs ]
>> Judge Judy: Judgment for
the plaintiff in the amount
of $5,000.
We're done here.
>> Thank you.
