Ms. Paolo is your former
girlfriend, and it is your claim
that she filed a false police
report about you, causing you to
be incarcerated for four days,
requiring you to hire an
attorney, and that she has some
property that belongs to you.
I think that the property is a
rifle that was a gift to you.
Is that right?
>> From my father.
>> Judge Judy: And after you
were arrested, it is your claim
she took your truck, and there
was stuff in your truck.
When you finally got your truck
back, all of the property in
your truck, which was hunting
gear, et cetera, was gone.
And the defendant says that you
did, in fact, commit the acts
that she complained of.
She's countersuing for
ridiculous things -- moving
expenses -- 'cause she says
she's not happy living in that
apartment, she's afraid -- a
phone that you allegedly broke,
and a hole that you placed in
the wall in the apartment that
she's going to have to fix.
That's your counterclaim.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: I have so many
questions, one in particular
that I don't know if you're
gonna be able to prove to me.
You filed a restraining order
against him when?
>> In November of 2015.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see a
copy of that restraining order.
And you were living together at
the time.
>> Till November 8th.
>> Judge Judy: How long had you
been living together?
>> Off and on since February.
>> Judge Judy: Was it your
apartment or your apartment?
>> It was my apartment.
>> Judge Judy: No, I want to see
what you said in order to get
this restraining order.
>> He hit me in my eye,
Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Well, I'd like to
see -- You had to file a
petition.
This is the order.
I want to see what you filed,
not what you say happened.
I want to see what you told the
court that you had.
>> The only thing I have,
Your Honor, is the police report
that states he abused me that
night and --
>> Judge Judy: The police
weren't there when he allegedly
did anything to you.
That's what you told them.
>> They were there, and they
took pictures of my eye.
>> Judge Judy: The police --
>> This is what he did to me.
>> Judge Judy: Listen to me.
The police weren't there for the
event.
What I want to see is what you
wrote in your complaint because
one of the interesting things
that the plaintiff says is that
you filed the exact same
complaint against your
ex-husband.
Do you have that complaint?
>> Yeah.
The restraining order that she
put on me?
>> Judge Judy: No, no.
Are you following what I'm
saying?
You wrote something in here, and
you said that the defendant
filed the same allegations
against her ex-husband that she
filed against you.
>> Yeah.
Let me find that really quick.
>> Judge Judy: I would like to
see that.
>> It's right here.
>> Judge Judy: This is the
application that she filed
against the ex-husband.
>> No. Against me.
>> Judge Judy: That's the one
she filed against you?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: Oh, great.
I want to see all of -- This
says, "Ongoing danger,
continued."
Let me see the rest of it.
>> Here's the whole order right
here.
I actually read her ex-husband's
restraining order, and it said
the exact same thing about
$2,000 being stolen and about
him...
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
All I say is, let me see it.
Where is it?
Am I correct, sir, that you have
no proof of that?
Am I correct, sir, that you have
no proof of that?
>> No, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Okay. Great.
So, then I don't have to
consider it.
And am I correct that you do not
have what you alleged when you
petitioned the court for a
protective order?
>> That would be the same exact
paper I would have.
>> Judge Judy: No. It's not.
You go into court, and you have
to file what happened.
"On November 8th, 2015,
Justin Jacobs punched me in the
eye and punched a hole in the
wall, and I fear for my safety
and request an order of
protection."
Then the judge will take your
testimony -- "Raise your hand.
Swear to tell the truth.
Tell me what happened on March
8th."
You give the judge a little
scenario, and the judge grants
you an order.
This is his order.
But this is not what your
petition was.
Now, since you don't have it,
I'll take a look at the police
report.
>> Byrd: What is that?
>> Police report.
>> Judge Judy: Well, you were
both drunk that night.
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: [ Laughs ]
>> Not as intoxicated as he was,
Your Honor.
The police --
>> Judge Judy: You mean there
are levels of intoxication?
You were both drunk.
That's according to the police
officer.
>> He's an alcoholic,
Your Honor.
He went to rehab for not even
the entire time.
>> Judge Judy: So what?
You were both drunk.
