the house, climbed through
the kitchen window
because I didn't know
that the key
was in the side of garage...
[ Laughter ]
...and then I got the picture
form, walked down the street.
Well, I locked the door.
>> Judge Judy:
So you went out the door --
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And you locked
the door behind you?
>> Yes. And then I locked it
and walked back, and I started
walking down the road,
and I seen a Chevy Impala go
by me that they used to drive,
and obviously, it was them.
And I went to --
>> Judge Judy:
Do you see who was in the car?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Now is this
a well-traveled road?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: How many times
have you seen that car before?
>> Probably every two months
that I went to my grandma's.
>> Judge Judy:
You said something
about your grandma.
>> Oh, I used to go
to my grandma's every two --
>> Judge Judy:
And that's where you saw the...
Whose truck was it?
>> Car.
It was theirs,
but they were borrowing it.
>> Judge Judy:
From your grandmother?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: From whom?
>> I have no idea.
All I remember is they were
borrowing it from a friend.
>> Judge Judy: What color?
Chevy Impala, wasn't a truck?
>> I think it was a silver,
grayish --
>> Judge Judy:
How far from your house was it?
>> Probably a block or two away.
>> Judge Judy: So you continued
to go to school?
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy:
And it was based on that
that you assumed
that he was the one
who broke into the house?
>> Well, not broke in, no.
We left them the food,
so they had...
They had permission to be
in the house,
just not grab the money.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So how did they get
into the house?
>> Key. We gave them the key.
Or the had...
The key was at my house
so then they could get in
because we were at work, so --
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So you had prepared food
for them.
>> Correct. Yes, ma'am.
At the -- On the kitchen table.
>> Judge Judy: You can sit down.
Was the food gone?
>> Yes, ma'am. Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: So the food
was gone...
>> Food was gone.
>> Judge Judy: ...as well as
the cash.
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy:
So tell me about the assault.
>> The assault --
>> Judge Judy: The assault
is finished with...
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: ...so I can --
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: Go ahead.
>> Yep. So we got home --
Well, when I got home, I looked
in the slot machine,
looked for everything.
You know, money's gone.
I called Tasha to see maybe
she had grabbed it.
I asked the kids.
Maybe they'd grabbed it. Nope.
Nope. Tasha comes home.
That why I have the video
right here of her coming home.
We're looking.
We called those guys.
We called the plaintiffs, said,
"We'll be over at 7:00.
We just got a voicemail.
We'll be over at 7:00
to get our money," you know.
"We want our money back."
We go over there.
Molly's sleeping.
Josh wasn't...
We didn't see him.
So we went inside.
"Molly, where's Josh?"
You know, she wakes up.
"What's going on?
What's going on?" And like,
"We know you took the money.
We want our money."
You know, we were pretty not
happy at the time.
So we get it out of her --
"Oh. It was all my idea.
We took the money."
"All right. Where's Josh?"
>> Judge Judy: Molly said?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: Molly said,
"It was all my idea."
>> Yes.
My idea, we took the money.
All right. Where's Josh?
>> Judge Judy:
And your wife was with you?
>> Correct.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Is that correct?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: And that's
what your sister said?
>> Correct.
>> Judge Judy: "It was my idea."
Okay.
>> And then we found out Josh
was in the bathroom.
I broke in, and that's when
the assault occurred.
I was all done, went home.
>> Judge Judy:
Did you get your money?
>> No, ma'am.
From what I...
He doesn't have a job.
I can't get anything.
>> Judge Judy: Well,
what'd they do with the money?
>> We still have the money,
Your Honor.
We did offer it back to him.
>> He never even asked.
>> He wasn't content
with that, though.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Just a second.
Just a second.
How much money did you take?
>> $40, ma'am.
And I --
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
Why did you take the money?
>> I didn't take it.
>> Judge Judy: Molly did?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Did she tell
why she took the money?
>> There was a miscommunication
between her and her mother.
Her mother did say
that there was going to be $40
for us to help us get through
because she was planning
on being gone
for a while down at the hospital
with her dad in recovery.
There was a miscommunication.
I didn't know exactly what
the whole deal was,
but from what
I gathered out of it,
I guess we were supposed
to grab it
out of a bank account,
but she had thought that it was
supposed
to given to us from there.
>> Judge Judy: Okay. So that's
when the assault took place.
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: You pled
guilty to something...
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: ...and as
a result of that,
got an order of protection.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And this is
what this case is about.
It is your claim, Mr. Pritchard,
that Mr. --
>> Abrahamson.
>> Judge Judy: Abrahamson --
You know, I can't say that --
Mr. Abrahamson continues
to violate
the order of protection.
>> That is correct, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy:
You worked at a casino.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
And he came to the casino,
and then you got
the order of protection
to cover your job --
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
And he continued to come
to your job at the casino.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
And so you left your job
at the casino.
>> That is correct, Your Honor.
