>> Judge Judy: Mr. Pritchard,
you know the defendant because
he is the brother-in-law
of this young lady,
who is either your girlfriend
or your fiancée,
if that's how you refer to her.
>> That's correct, yes.
>> Judge Judy: And you have an
order of protection against him
because he beat you up.
>> Correct, yep.
>> Judge Judy: He assaulted...
There's no such thing as...
But he assaulted you?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And I know
that Mr. Abramson --
>> Abrahamson.
>> Judge Judy: Abrahamson,
I know that you assaulted him.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
And you say you assaulted him
because he's a stoner,
which I assume
you mean he uses drugs.
>> No, Your Honor, I assault--
>> Judge Judy:
What does that mean?
>> Well, he has been --
>> Judge Judy:
You say he's a stoner
who took your sister-in-law...
That's this young lady?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: ...down a bad
path.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
But you called him a stoner.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
What does that mean?
>> Well, he smokes
a lot of weed.
He does a lot of drugs.
>> Judge Judy:
That's what I thought, drugs.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: And is that
the reason you beat him up?
>> No, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy:
What'd you beat him up for?
>> No, ma'am.
September 14, 2015,
I had a camera set up
in my computer room.
I have a couple
slot machines.
Money has been
stolen previously from me.
So I had that set up,
and at the time, it was 8:25.
The camera was turned over,
slot machine
was broken into, money was gone.
I came home that day, looked in
the slot machine, money
was gone. I'm like,
"What's going on here?"
>> Judge Judy:
Well, did they live with you?
>> No. No.
They had to come to my house
to get food
for their mom and dad's house.
Their dad was in the hospital,
so the mom wasn't there,
so we had bought them food
so they could bring it back
to the house.
>> Judge Judy:
Where they living together?
>> I am not sure.
>> Judge Judy: You don't know?
>> No, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Are you sick?
>> I was crying.
>> Judge Judy: How old are you?
>> 19.
>> Judge Judy: My question
to you is are you sick, now?
>> [ Crying ] No.
>> Judge Judy:
What's your first name?
>> Molly.
>> Judge Judy: Take a breath.
>> It'll be okay.
>> Judge Judy:
Don't talk to her.
>> Sorry.
>> Judge Judy:
Is that your sister?
Did you use to live with her?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Did you ever live
with her, Molly?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
Who do you live with now?
>> I live with Josh.
>> Judge Judy: Do you work?
>> No. I'm in school.
>> Judge Judy:
What school do you go to?
>> Minnesota Virtual High
School in Minneapolis.
>> Judge Judy:
Do you go to school every day?
>> Yes, online.
>> Judge Judy:
So you're in online?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
You don't leave the house.
I mean, other --
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
But you don't go to school.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
And what does Josh do?
>> He is unemployed
at the moment.
>> Judge Judy: Whose house
do you live in?
>> An older lady, she's a friend
of ours, like, a grandma
we're living with at the moment.
>> Judge Judy: How long have you
been living there?
>> About six months,
five, six months.
>> Judge Judy:
Do you get any money
for going to school online?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
Do you have to pay any money
to do that?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
How do you support yourself,
Molly?
>> Food stamps, EBT
from the county.
>> Judge Judy: And how does Josh
support himself?
>> He is doing Social Security
right
now, disability for his back.
>> Judge Judy: For his what?
>> He's trying to get accepted
for disability for his back.
>> Judge Judy:
What's wrong with his back?
>> Social Security.
He has...
I'm not sure.
He would have to explain it.
>> Judge Judy:
What's wrong with your back?
>> I have a congenital fusion,
Your Honor,
something I was born with,
a birth defect.
It causes it a lot of pain.
I'm currently on a 10-pound
weight restriction
ordered by a neurosurgeon.
>> Judge Judy:
There are a lot of jobs
you could do without having
to lift up 10 pounds.
>> Not in the county
that we live in, Your Honor.
There's not much going,
and the only job that I had
going for me was the casino,
and thanks to Mr. Abrahamson,
I can't work there.
>> Judge Judy:
Molly, do you think
you're doing well with Josh?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Do you?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> You think that that's
the right trajectory
for your life?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Do you?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Okay. Sit down.
Do you see your sister at all?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Because of him?
>> I'm sorry?
>> Judge Judy: Because of him?
>> Because of... Yeah.
Because of Mathew.
>> Judge Judy: So let's get back
to the slot machine
that was broken into.
>> Sure.
>> Judge Judy:
And I assume that what you're
going to tell me is that it was
your belief that...
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: ...the plaintiff
stole your money.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Tell me
how you came to that conclusion.
>> My son, he had to come home
from school
to get a picture form.
They had pictures that day.
And he witnessed the car
pull in at...
What time was it?
>> Like 8:00 in the morning
or --
>> Judge Judy: Stand up.
>> The time --
>> Judge Judy:
Tell me your name.
>> Aiden Nolan.
>> Judge Judy:
Tell me about the day
that the slot machine
got broken into in the house
and money was taken.
>> So I went to school
that morning, and I --
>> Judge Judy:
Where was your dad?
>> At work.
>> Judge Judy: And your mom?
>> At work.
>> Judge Judy:
And how old are you?
>> 13.
>> Judge Judy: You were off
to school by yourself?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
And what happened?
>> I had got to school,
and I realized
that I forgot my picture form,
and then I went to the office
and said
that I forgot my picture form,
and they called my mom saying
that he forgot his form,
so he can go get home
and go get his paper.
>> Judge Judy:
What did you need the form for?
>> To get my picture taken.
