>> Judge Judy: Ms. Johnson,
you and Ms. Paige are connected
because you each have a child
who has the same father.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Would that
be you?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
And it is your claim
that the defendant
came to the house.
You live together?
>> No.
Well, as of now, yes.
>> Judge Judy: As of --
>> Back when the case happened,
yeah, we did live together.
>> Judge Judy: And while you
were living together,
it is your claim
that the defendant
came over one evening,
assaulted you, and vandalized
your car.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: The defendant
denies she was even in town
on the night that she's alleging
that this happened.
And she has a counterclaim
she says
that you've been harassing her.
She believes that you somehow
vandalized her car
with some foreign object
in her gas tank.
She's got a counterclaim.
Okay, when did this
incident happen?
>> On May 5th.
>> Judge Judy: Of this year.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: What time?
>> It was about 12:30,
between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.
>> Judge Judy: So tell me
what happened.
>> Okay, Your Honor.
On the night of May 5th,
um, me and Gary
were celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
We had some margaritas
and tacos.
And then we were going
to call it a night around 12:30.
Gary goes to bed.
And his phone just starts
to ring right before I lay down.
And it's a unknown call
constantly coming in.
So eventually, I answer.
And it was his --
>> Judge Judy: How many times
did it ring?
>> Probably about five
missed calls.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
>> And so finally, I pick up.
And it's Azeri
on the other line.
And she's like,
"Uh, where's Gary?"
And I said --
>> Judge Judy: Now,
do you know her?
Had you met her before?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: How many times?
>> We've known each other
for over three years.
>> Judge Judy: So you knew
her voice?
Or she identified herself?
>> Exactly, yes.
>> Judge Judy: What did she say?
>> She said, "Where's Gary?"
I said, "He's asleep."
She said, he's been at my house
for three nights.
And I said,
"Well, that's impossible
because he's been home."
So she's like,
"Well, where is he?"
I say, "He's asleep."
She said, "Wake him up."
So then I wake Gary up.
And Gary's --
I hand Gary the phone.
And he's like, "This is a joke.
Just hang up."
So right before I hang up,
she says, "Open the door."
Right before we open the door,
there was a knock
maybe 5 seconds later.
So Gary runs to the door
and looks in the peephole.
And he can't make out who it is.
She's, like,
leaning on the door.
So then I look in the peephole.
And I said,
"Gary, this is Azeri."
And Gary's like, "Is it?"
So he looks back
in the peephole.
And then I yell...
We didn't open the door yet.
I say, "Azeri, why are you at
my house at 1:00
in the morning?"
She's like,
"I need to speak to Gary."
I said, "Okay."
So then Gary's like,
"Well, what do you want?"
So immediately,
I call the police. And I said,
"I need a police officer
dispatched to my location."
So Gary goes and opens the door.
And she's, like,
she's extremely intoxicated.
She's like, "Um,
I need you to come to my truck."
And Gary says, "Why?"
I'm standing behind Gary.
Gary has his hands
on the side --
on the side of the door.
I was standing behind him.
And she's like,
"Well, I need to speak to you.
I need you to come to my truck."
So then Gary's like,
"Well, what do you need?"
Then she calls me a drunk
[bleep] and just starts, like,
talking crazy
and calling my names
and says I'm scary.
And then we started arguing.
I'm still in the back of Gary.
So then she reaches under Gary
and grabs my hair
and pulls me into the hallway.
And then that's
when we start to fight.
I have pictures of bruises,
scratches and everything
from that night.
>> Judge Judy:
I'd like to see them, please.
I'd also like...
Did the police ever respond?
>> Yes, they did.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like --
I'd like to see
the police report.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Thank you.
>> Byrd: Mm-hmm.
>> There's also pictures
in there of the broken window
as well.
>> Judge Judy: I see the window.
We haven't gotten
to the window yet.
>> Okay.
>> Judge Judy: Now, there
are pictures
here of a broken windshield.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And the police
report is clear that
after the police came
to discuss what happened to you,
you were sort of reluctant
to speak to them.
And a little,
according to the report,
a little intoxicated yourself.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: A sergeant also
responded to the location.
And it was the sergeant
who observed the broken
windshield on the car.
And they identified
the car as belonging to you.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: They went back
upstairs to speak to you.
At that time, since you believed
she had broken your windshield,
then you said,
"Well, that's enough,
I want to press charges."
So that's how we're here.
>> Exactly.
>> Judge Judy: Is that correct?
>> Yes, ma'am.
>> Judge Judy: That's what I get
from reading this report.
Okay, what time had you parked
your car that evening?
>> I would say about 6:00 p.m.
>> Judge Judy: Now, you told me
before that you and Gary
were living together
at the time.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: That's not what
it says in here.
>> Yeah.
Well, Gary was living with me
on and off around that time.
>> Judge Judy: Well, now we're
getting...
Now with this...
So Gary was living
with you on and off.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Lisa --
That would be you, right?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: "Lisa said
that Gary, her child's father,
was only there
to watch their child.
Lisa and Gary were no longer
in a dating relationship,
nor was blank and blank,"
I assume her and somebody else.
"Said that even though that
they had problems in the past,
they had not seen or spoken
to one another
in quite some time.
Lisa claimed to have no idea
why the defendant and her friend
arrived at the door."
Now, you didn't tell me
about a friend.
>> I -- I was getting
to that part.
So after the
