this lawsuit alleging that your
car was vandalized by the
defendant.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Do you want to
tell me what proof you have that
the defendant vandalized your
car?
Now, your car used to be
his car.
She says she hadn't seen it
since June 12th.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like you to
tell me --
This has clearly happened
after the defendant claims
that De'Anthony
assaulted her twice in July.
This happened August 5th
to De'Anthony's car that he had
only recently sold to you.
How much did he sell it for?
>> He sold it for $500 because
he was trying to sell it prior,
and no one was buying it.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
>> I'm sorry.
>> Judge Judy: I don't need
a whole story.
Please, my life is slowly,
slowly coming to an end,
but it's going to get a lot
slower if you tell me what
happened.
>> I'm sorry.
>> Judge Judy: $500 is what
you...
>> Purchased the car for.
>> Judge Judy: ...purchased
the car for.
You're suing her for $5,000.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: That is so
fascinating.
I like the math.
Sounds like my kind of math.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Proof
that she vandalized the car.
>> I have pictures, and I have
texts --
>> Judge Judy: I don't want to
see pictures.
Your car was vandalized.
>> I have text messages from
the defendant stating that she
came, and she seen the car
parked in my parking stall
and --
>> Judge Judy: Just --
If you have text messages
from her, I will look at them.
>> Here's all the text messages.
I have printed out text
messages, and I printed
a paper stating --
>> Judge Judy: I don't want you
to print a paper.
>> Okay. Well, there are the
pictures and the text messages.
>> Judge Judy: Okay. Fine.
What do you know
about this car, this BMW?
>> Well, the reason why I know
about this car was because
De'Anthony prostituted me
when I was only 17 years old.
>> Judge Judy: Prostituted you?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Go ahead.
>> He prostituted me,
and he's saying he don't owe me.
If you don't owe me,
how did you get the car?
You used the money when you were
prostituting me to buy the BMW.
>> Judge Judy: Oh, so your
thinking is that
because he was a pimp --
That's what you're saying that's
what he is, and you worked for
him.
Therefore, you are really
the owner of the BMW
because it was paid
from money that you earned.
Is that what you're saying?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Now I understand.
This gets more interesting.d...
>> Byrd: Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Would you do me a
favor?
>> Byrd: Sure.
>> Judge Judy: Would you look up
the book value price
of a 2002 BMW?
And De'Anthony is going to
tell you any particulars
you have to know about it
because now I understand
these text messages where
you were actually referring
to this BMW as your car.
It's your car because
it was paid for by your work.
>> Yes.
But when I asked --
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
When you asked him?
>> No. When he gave everybody
in his family my number,
and the last person
I had text was her,
I said, "Send me a picture of
saying it's your car."
>> Judge Judy: Oh, yeah. Yeah.
I saw that in here.
And she didn't do it.
>> She didn't do it.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
And then you broke
out the windows in the car?
>> No, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Doesn't matter.
Depends upon whether I believe
her or not.
She says that she bought the car
from De'Anthony for $500.
Give me the price of a 2002 BMW.
Two-door or four-door?
>> Four-door.
>> Judge Judy: Four-door BMW.
>> Byrd: If you had a number
on that, Judge, 325, 230...
>> 325i.
>> Judge Judy: 325i.
>> Byrd: 325i.
Private party, $2,250.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: Why do you think
De'Anthony would sell you --
Why do you want me to believe --
And, you know,
I'm a skeptic anyway.
This case has become more
interesting as we've progressed.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: Why would you
think De'Anthony would sell you
a car for $500
that was worth fives times
that amount?
>> Because previously she came
and vandalized the car and
messed up the power steering,
so the car was messed up,
so he had been trying to sell
the car prior to me knowing
that he was selling the car,
and he just so happened
to come to my apartment
and was talking to my boyfriend,
which is his cousin, and he had
a for-sale sign on the window,
and my boyfriend was like,
"Oh, you selling the car?"
He was like, "Yeah, man.
It's taking too long to sell,"
and my boyfriend was like --
My boyfriend came and told me.
>> Judge Judy: Show me where
you took the money from to give
him $500.
>> I had cash.
I don't -- I didn't have --
>> Judge Judy: And you know what
I have?
I have an "I don't care."
>> Because I had cash?
>> Judge Judy: I have an "I
don't care."
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: I think
De'Anthony should pay for your
broken-out windows.
Your case is dismissed.
We're done.
