>> Judge Judy: When did you
get your car?
>> I got it January last year.
>> Judge Judy: January?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: That's a long
time ago.
You've been to his house
after you got your car,
according to you.
According to what you said
to me before,
you've been to his house
since you got your car.
>> Sorry, ma'am,
I misspoke,
not last year, this year.
>> Judge Judy: You've still been
to his house
since you got the car, according
to what you told me before.
You said "a few months ago."
January is a long time ago.
>> I misspoke.
I meant this year.
>> Judge Judy: I know this year.
>> Okay, okay.
>> Judge Judy: So you were with
your friends and?
>> And Mario came up to me
and like said,
"Give me your car keys,"
like threateningly.
>> Judge Judy: And?
>> And I gave them to him.
>> Judge Judy: And he took
your car, alone?
>> No, there were
two other people.
>> Judge Judy: Where was Javier?
Was he in the car?
>> Javier, no.
>> Judge Judy: What about
Sergio?
Was Sergio in the car?
>> No, they have
their own cars.
>> Judge Judy: No, did they get
in the car?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: So, who got
in the car with Mario?
>> A girl named Uli
and I don't know the other
girl's name, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Two girls?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Not you?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Go.
>> And they took off.
And it was around 8:39
that Sergio ran up to me and
said they got in an accident.
And my friend Enrico
drove me
to the scene of the accident,
and I saw the damage and --
>> Judge Judy: Go.
>> Your Honor,
he's lying.
It was Thursday,
March 30th or 24th, I'm sorry,
and Ulisa
wanted to go get doughnuts.
>> Judge Judy: Who wanted to
go get doughnuts?
>> Ulisa, and I never asked him
for the keys,
because he was the one
that was driving
to the doughnut shop.
I was the passenger.
She was
the one in the backseat.
We drove over there,
We got the doughnuts.
We're coming back to school,
Andre's driving.
His brakes don't work.
He hits another car.
He is panicking.
He tells me that, um,
to switch seats with him.
He wanted me to switch seats
with him because he didn't want
to get his car insurance,
he didn't wanna get anything
with his mother.
He didn't want to um --
>> Judge Judy: I want to see
a police report.
>> I have a ticket
right here stating
that I didn't have a license --
'cause I took the fault for him
and it was a $400 ticket
unless I got my license,
which I did in less than a
month, and I paid $25.
>> Judge Judy: That's very nice.
You told the police
you were driving?
>> Yes, 'cause I took
the fault for him.
>> Judge Judy: Then you're
responsible for the accident.
Then you're responsible
for the accident, Mario.
I actually don't believe
a whole bunch
of what he's saying to me.
And I actually don't know
who was driving,
but if you told the police,
if you swore to the police
that you were driving,
you're responsible.
You understand that?
You lie? You gotta tell it
all the way through.
And you paid a ticket
and you paid a fine
and you got your license.
And your son is a fibber.
Don't believe everything
he tells you.
Now, I want to see
the police report.
>> There was no police
report.
There's a collision report
that clearly states
that Mario was the driver.
I also have pictures of the car
if you want to see it.
>> Judge Judy: Hmm-hmm.
>> And a letter
from my insurance company
saying that they denied it
because Mario was not
an insured driver on my car.
Mario gave
my insurance company --
>> Judge Judy: Mario didn't,
Mario didn't have a license.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: Okay,
now, what kind of car was this?
>> The 2001 Toyota Camry.
>> Judge Judy: Where is
the car now?
>> [ Chuckles ] It's stalled
in my garage.
>> Judge Judy: It's what?
>> It's in my driveway.
I'm sorry, it's stalled.
It doesn't work.
>> Judge Judy: I would like
to see a photo of it.
I would like to see the estimate
for the damage repair.
>> It's right here.
>> Judge Judy: Just for my own
information,
would you take a look
and see the value of 2001
Toyota Camry?
An LE.
>> Your Honor,
on May the 9th, I called Mario,
and I spoke to Mario,
and he admitted
to me that he did it,
and then he told me he would pay
for it as soon as he got money.
>> Byrd: $1,525.
>> Judge Judy: Hmm?
>> Byrd: $1,525.
>> Judge Judy: Judgment for
the plaintiff
for the amount of $1,525.
>> Thank you.
>> Judge Judy: Thank y
