>> Judge Judy: MISS ANDERSON,
THIS IS YOUR FORMER BOYFRIEND,
AND YOU CLAIM THREE THINGS.
LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE EASY
THINGS FIRST.
THAT HE HAS IN HIS POSSESSION A
PlayStation THAT BELONGS TO YOU.
>> YES, MA'AM.
>> Judge Judy: I ASSUME THAT
THAT'S IT?
>> YES, IT IS.
>> Judge Judy: WHY DON'T YOU
JUST PUT THAT ON HER TABLE
BECAUSE YOU SAY YOU HAVE NO
BASIS TO KEEP IT.
IT IS HERS.
>> YES, IT WAS A CHRISTMAS GIFT.
WHERE DO I PLACE IT?
>> Judge Judy: RIGHT THERE.
>> RIGHT THERE.
>> Judge Judy: GREAT.
PERFECT. THANK YOU.
SO THAT TAKES CARE OF THE FIRST
PART OF YOUR CASE.
GOOD?
>> GOOD.
>> Judge Judy: GOOD.
SECOND PART IS THAT YOU CLAIM
THAT MR. ELBERT KEYED YOUR CAR.
YOU HAD HAD AN ARGUMENT, AND YOU
CLAIM HE KEYED YOUR CAR, YOU
DIDN'T SEE HIM.
HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKET.
VERY GOOD.
AND FINALLY, YOU SAY THAT HE
POSTED SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOU
THAT WERE COMPROMISING
PHOTOGRAPHS, AND HE POSTED THEM
ON THE INTERNET, AND YOU WANT TO
BE COMPENSATED FOR THAT.
>> YES, MA'AM.
>> Judge Judy: OKAY.
LET'S GET TO THE SCRATCHED CAR
FIRST.
>> OKAY.
>> Judge Judy: WHEN DID IT
HAPPEN, AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK
THAT MR. ELBERT IS RESPONSIBLE?
>> MAY 5th, I WAS INVITED TO GO
OUT WITH A CO-WORKER AFTER WORK
FOR A CINCO DE MAYO CELEBRATION.
I CALLED MR. ELBERT, I ASKED
HIM, "ARE YOU COMING OVER?"
HE TOLD ME THAT HE WASN'T, HE
WAS TIRED.
SO I LET HIM KNOW THAT I WAS
GOING OUT WITH MY CO-WORKER, AND
HE GOT UPSET.
>> Judge Judy: A MALE CO-WORKER?
>> NO. FEMALE. YES.
AND HE GOT UPSET, AND HE STARTED
FIGHTING WITH ME ABOUT IT, AND
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME --
>> Judge Judy: ON THE PHONE?
>> YES.
THIS ISN'T THE FIRST TIME WE
ARGUED ABOUT GOING OUT WITH MY
FRIENDS.
HE DOESN'T LIKE ME TO GO OUT TO
THE CLUB WITH MY FRIENDS.
>> Judge Judy: LET ME MAKE THIS
SUGGESTION TO YOU FOR THIS
EX-BOYFRIEND AND BOYFRIENDS IN
THE FUTURE.
THE COURTING PERIOD IS AS GOOD
AS IT GETS.
[ LAUGHTER ]
IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.
ANYTHING THAT YOU HAVE DURING
THE COURTING PERIOD THAT SEEMS
PROBLEMATIC IS GOING TO GET
WORSE.
SO IF HE APPEARS TO BE A TAD
JEALOUS OF YOUR FRIENDS WHEN
YOU'RE JUST DATING, YOU WILL
FEEL LIKE HANNIBAL LECTER'S
PRISONER IF YOU MARRY HIM.
[ LAUGHTER ]
LET'S ASSUME THAT WHAT YOU TELL
ME IS TRUE AND HE SAYS, "I'M
TIRED.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU TONIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO STAY HOME, TOO.
I'M TIRED, YOU'RE TIRED."
RIGHT?
IT'S JUST REALLY WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING.
"I'M TIRED.
THEREFORE, YOU'RE TIRED.
AND IF YOU'RE NOT TIRED, YOU
SHOULD BE TIRED OR YOU'RE GOING
TO ACT TIRED OR WHATEVER IT IS
'CAUSE I'M TIRED."
[ LAUGHTER ]
RIGHT?
>> YES. I GUESS.
>> Judge Judy: YOU GOT THE
MESSAGE?
COURTING PERIOD -- KEEP IT IN
YOUR MIND -- IS AS GOOD AS IT
GETS.
>> OKAY.
>> Judge Judy: GREAT. GO AHEAD.
>> OKAY.
WE ARGUED OVER THE PHONE.
I ENDED UP SO UPSET THAT I
DIDN'T EVEN GO OUT THAT NIGHT.
CHAZ CALLED MY PHONE 15 TIMES.
>> Judge Judy: SO HE UPSET YOU,
AND YOU FELT GUILTY ABOUT GOING
OUT.
>> NO. I WASN'T GUILTY AT ALL.
I WAS SO UPSET THAT I DIDN'T
WANT TO GO ANYWHERE WITH THAT
ATTITUDE.
>> Judge Judy: THEN HE
ACCOMPLISHED WHAT HE WANTED TO.
>> RIGHT. YES.
>> Judge Judy: THEN HE
ACCOMPLISHED IT.
>> AND I FELL ASLEEP.
I WOKE UP TO 15 MISSED CALLS
FROM CHAZ.
AND I GO TO WORK AT 8:00 IN THE
MORNING.
I WENT OUTSIDE TO GO TO MY CAR
AT 7:30.
I NOTICED THAT THERE'S TWO KEY
SCRATCHES ON THE SIDE OF MY CAR,
AND I'M LIKE, "WHO DID THIS TO
MY CAR?"
BECAUSE I HAVE NO KNOWN ENEMIES,
JUDY.
I DON'T HAVE ANY PEOPLE.
>> Judge Judy: Shh. NO, NO.
WE'RE NOT FRIENDS.
LISTEN TO ME.
WE'RE NOT FRIENDS, YOU AND I.
>> OKAY.
>> Judge Judy: DO YOU
UNDERSTAND?
>> YES.
>> Judge Judy: GREAT.
>> I HAVE NO KNOWN ENEMIES,
YOUR HONOR.
I DON'T KNOW WHO WOULD DO SUCH A
THING TO ME, SO I RECAPPED WHAT
HAPPENED THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND
HE'S THE ONLY PERSON THAT I HAD
A DISPUTE WITH.
SO I AUTOMATICALLY KNEW THAT IT
WAS HIM.
>> Judge Judy: YOU MAY KNOW
ABOUT IT, BUT I HAVE TO TELL
YOU SOMETHING.
THE FACT THAT YOU KNEW ABOUT IT
IN YOUR HEAD IS NOT PROOF IN A
COURT.
SO YOU DIDN'T SEE WHO DID IT.
DID YOU HAVE A DISCUSSION WITH
MR. ELBERT AFTERWARDS?
>> YES, I DID.
AFTER I CALLED THE POLICE.
BECAUSE FIRST, I CALLED THE
POLICE SO I COULD GET A REPORT.
>> Judge Judy: SHH!
ON WHAT DAY DID YOU CALL THE
POLICE?
>> I CALLED THE POLICE ON MAY
6th, WHICH WAS THE NEXT DAY.
>> Judge Judy: DO YOU HAVE THE
REPORT?
>> YES, I DO, MA'AM.
>> Judge Judy: I'D LIKE TO TAKE
>> AND AFTER I GOT THE REPORT, I
SPOKE WITH CHAZ DAYS LATER, AND
HE ADMITTED TO ME THAT --
>> Judge Judy: WELL, TELL ME
ABOUT THE CONVERSATION.
>> THE CONVERSATION -- I WAS AT
WORK OVERNIGHT ON AN OVERNIGHT
SHIFT.
>> Judge Judy: HAD YOU SEEN
HIM -- LISTEN TO ME.
HAD YOU SEEN HIM BEFORE YOU HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH HIM ON THE
PHONE?
>> NO, MA'AM.
>> Judge Judy: SO, FIRST YOU HAD
A CONVERSATION WITH HIM ON THE
PHONE.
>> YES, MA'AM.
>> Judge Judy: ON WHAT DATE?
>> ON MAY 7th.
>> Judge Judy: SO THE DAY AFTER
YOU REPORTED IT TO THE POLICE.
>> YES.
>> Judge Judy: TELL ME ABOUT THE
CONVERSATION.
WHO CALLED WHOM?
>> HE CALLED ME WHILE I WAS AT
WORK, AND WE WERE SPEAKING ON
THE PHONE, AND I SAID TO HIM,
"IF YOU DID THIS TO MY CAR, YOU
NEED TO TELL ME, OR I'M NOT
GOING TO TALK TO YOU EVER
AGAIN."
