>> Judge Judy: Mr. Hazelton, the
defendant is your mother.
And it is your claim that she
had you falsely arrested a
little over a year ago for both
stealing her property and for
assaulting your sister, who
tried to intervene and prevent
you from taking her television.
That's what the case is about.
You spent, according to you, six
days in jail.
You finally bailed yourself out,
and you want to be compensated
for that.
>> That is correct, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Prior to being arrested last
year when you were arrested on
your mother's complaint, how
many times had you been arrested
before?
>> A bunch.
>> Judge Judy: How many?
More than a dozen?
>> I could say yes.
>> Judge Judy: And were those,
at least some of those, arrests
drug-related?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Were they
alcohol-related?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Were they
physically related?
Were they assault cases?
>> Some.
But what does that got to
pertain to this case?
>> Judge Judy: Everything
pertains to this case.
Were some of them involving
theft?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Were some of them
involving trespass?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So they were all
involving assault?
More than a dozen cases.
What I'm gathering now is
information.
So of the more than a dozen
arrests you had, none involved
drugs, none involved alcohol,
none involved theft, none
involved trespass.
All involved assault.
Is that a yes or a no?
>> That's a no.
>> Judge Judy: What else did
they involve other than assault?
>> I'm just talking about this
case, Your Honor, okay?
>> Judge Judy: I'm talking about
who the party --
>> I'm only talking about this
case at hand.
If you don't want to discuss
this case, then we can just
dismiss it.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
Then I'm dismissing it.
Thank you very much.
We're done.
>> You have a good day.
In a case recalled from earlier
today, Glenn Hazelton says his
mother, Nancy Hazelton, falsely
accused him of assaulting his
sister and stealing her TV.
>> Byrd: Your Honor, this is a
recall of case 375 in the matter
of Hazelton vs. Hazelton.
Parties are reminded you're
still under oath.
You're welcome, Judge.
>> Judge Judy: Mr. Hazelton,
Officer Byrd tells me that you
have had second thoughts about
answering the court's questions
and you're asking me to
reconsider the dismissal of this
case.
Is that correct?
>> That is correct, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So then let's get back to where
I was questioning you before.
According to your answers
previously, you've been arrested
at least a dozen times, none
involving drugs.
Is that correct?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: None involving
alcohol.
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: None involving
burglary.
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: None involving
theft.
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: All involving
assault.
>> That is correct. Three times.
>> Judge Judy: So of the more
than a dozen times you've been
arrested is as a result of
either temper or a mental
illness if it wasn't drug- or
alcohol-related?
>> No, my anger gets the best of
me.
>> Judge Judy: Well, that's an
uncontrollable --
>> It's an uncontrollable issue.
>> Judge Judy: From which you've
been or not been in treatment?
>> Not.
>> Judge Judy: Is it correct,
Ms. Hazelton, that your son
never had either a drug or an
alcohol problem?
>> Alcohol.
>> Judge Judy: In October of
2015, Mr. Hazelton, how were you
supporting yourself?
>> By working.
>> Judge Judy: For whom?
>> Greenstar Lawn Maintenance.
>> Judge Judy: How long have you
worked for them?
>> For 38 years off and on.
>> Judge Judy: Are you working
for them now?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Full-time?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: In the same
location?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Is that correct?
>> I think so.
>> Judge Judy: Do you remember
on what day you were arrested?
>> Yeah.
I was arrested on May 6, 2015.
>> Judge Judy: Where?
>> Hennepin County.
>> Judge Judy: Is that where you
live?
>> I lived, yes.
>> Judge Judy: What time were
you arrested?
>> After about 12:20.
>> Judge Judy: In the morning?
>> In the morning, yeah.
>> Judge Judy: And you were at
home?
>> I was at home. Right.
>> Judge Judy: And you were
arrested on the complaint of
your mother and/or your sister
or just your mother?
>> I was arrested on my mother
and sister's complaint stating
that I walked in an unlocked
door, used the restroom.
Upon leaving the restroom, stole
the TV out of my mom's room, hit
my sister three times in the
face, and left with the TV.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
You're the sister?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Where is the
sister?
>> She's passed away.
>> Judge Judy: Were you at home
that day?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So the sister
that you allegedly assaulted is
no longer here.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Is that correct?
>> That is correct.
>> Judge Judy: And I gather from
your answer that you were not at
home when this took place.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Did you have a
conversation with your daughter
when you got home?
>> She was holding an ice --
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Did you have a conversation with
her?
