>> I am dying.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Just a second.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Up here.
Up here. Up here.
You were in the car.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Where were you?
>> I was at Starbucks.
>> Judge Judy: You were in the
Starbucks.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Therefore, you
did not see what happened at the
other end, where this whole
process was initiated?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Correct?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So, you were in Starbucks,
having a cup of coffee.
>> Outside.
>> Judge Judy: Outside.
And you don't know the
defendant.
>> I do not.
>> Judge Judy: Had never seen
him before that July 4th.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
Let me hear.
>> Okay. I heard an angry person
screaming profanities, riding up
Venice.
He's screaming like...
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Just a second.
He's screaming, riding up the
street.
>> Correct. On his bike.
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
So, he's riding and screaming.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: What's the next
thing that you saw?
>> He stopped at the red light.
And he kept riding around in a
circle, screaming like a
lunatic.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Okay, so, his bicycle was at a
red light, and he's riding.
>> And he kept riding around
going, "That...
I'm gonna kill him!
That...
I'm gonna kill his mother."
Screaming.
>> Judge Judy: Keep going.
>> Screaming like that.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
Keep going.
>> And he wouldn't stop.
He just kept screaming.
"I'm gonna beat that...up.
I'm gonna slug him."
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
I want to tell you something.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: I don't believe
you.
>> No, he was doing that.
>> Judge Judy: No, listen to me.
Listen to me very carefully.
Listen to me, actress.
I don't believe you.
>> Why?
>> Judge Judy: I don't believe
you.
>> I don't know Miss Norton at
all.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
I don't believe you.
I want you to -- Without the
dramatics, I want you to tell me
what you saw when you were
sitting outside, allegedly in
Starbucks, having your coffee.
You saw the plaintiff on a bike,
screaming out in front of him.
Screaming -- not to anyone, but
screaming.
And then what did you see?
>> He stopped at the red light
and then he continued riding
around in a circle, screaming.
>> Judge Judy: Just rode around
in a circle, screaming.
And then?
>> And then --
>> Judge Judy: Just tell me what
you saw.
Look at me.
What did you see?
Now, he's riding around in a
circle.
>> Yeah, and he just kept doing
it for a while.
And then I saw Mr. Hope's car
pull up.
He was not --
>> Judge Judy: No, no.
Don't tell me what he was not.
You saw Mr. Hope's car pull up.
And?
>> Yeah.
It took a little while, though.
>> Judge Judy: And?
>> He was not driving -- Okay,
he was --
>> Judge Judy: Sit down.
>> Okay. I apologize.
>> Judge Judy: If you're not
gonna answer my question -- Do
you understand?
>> Yes, I do.
>> Judge Judy: 'Cause I don't
believe this whole story that
you're telling me, because
you're editorializing like
somebody who has an agenda,
who's not a witness.
I've been questioning witnesses
for 50 years.
Do you understand?
>> I do.
>> Judge Judy: Good.n I have a
witness who is not, in some way,
involved in the situation, they
tell me, "I was sitting at
Starbucks.
I saw a guy cursing.
He was riding around in circles
and cursing.
I saw another guy pull up."
They don't editorialize.
"They're not driving fast.
He was not seemed to be cha--"
Do you understand what I'm
saying to you?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: All right.
>> I do.
>> Judge Judy: Good.
That's why I question your
veracity.
>> Okay. I understand that.
>> Judge Judy: Good. I'm glad.
Go.
>> So, I --
>> Judge Judy: You saw another
car pull up next to the
bicyclist, who's riding around
in circles and cursing.
>> And the bicyclist faced his
bike towards the car, and he was
taunting him, screaming at him.
>> Judge Judy: Taunting is a
word that's designed to provide
me with a picture of one person,
not "he said to him," "I heard
him say."
What you are saying is -- you
are trying to act as a jury or
as a fact-finder when you say,
"He was taunting him."
What did he say?
>> He was screaming at him,
saying, "Let's do this.
...I'm gonna kill you.
Get out of your car..."
He was screaming at him like
that for a whi-- What, to me,
seemed a while.
And, by this point, it
escalated, and people were
starting -- I was trying to get
my phone so that I could call
911.
I thought there would be -- I
thought it would escalate.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care what
you thought.
