is...?
>> Green.
>> Judge Judy: And this
is your daughter?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Huntsman,
according to what I read,
the only way you know
the defendant, Ms. Brown --
that would be you, right --
is through a cousin of yours?
>> No.
She's my little
brother's girlfriend.
>> Judge Judy: Your brother's...
Is or was
your brother's girlfriend?
>> I haven't talked to
my brother in months
since this situation.
>> Judge Judy: Are you still
together with her brother?
>> We actually talk here
and there.
We're not, like,
together-together.
We're, like, friends.
>> Judge Judy:
You keep in touch?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And on the night
or the day of April 10th,
it is your claim that Ms. Green
and her daughter
came to your house uninvited.
You had no idea why.
Both of them vandalized
your car.
Both of them took turns trying
to pickax your screen door,
caused damaged to six windows,
caused you to lose work
because you're an Uber driver,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera,
and you want...The relief
that you are requesting
is about $5,000.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Ms. Green
and Ms. Brown present
a totally different picture.
They say on the 10th of August,
Ms. Brown was in your house,
the house where you live,
where your brother is,
and they were having
an argument.
>> Yes.
She's never been
inside my house.
>> Judge Judy: Just...
Shh, shh.
She was in your house
where you live
with your brother,
or your brother was there, and
they were having an argument.
And Ms. Green says,
because she signed the answer,
that you came in the midst
of that argument on April 10th
and sucker-punched
her daughter to the extent
that she had serious
injury and...
>> We have the photos here.
>> Judge Judy: ...did in fact
take her to the hospital
that day, filed a police report,
and they're counterclaiming.
They're counterclaiming for that
assault
and the fact that you filed
a protective order against them,
but you never showed up for it.
They went, and you never
showed up.
And they are counterclaiming
for the same, about $5,000.
So it's going to be up to me
to make a judgment
as to these two stories.
They're totally inconsistent.
You do understand that?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Right?
>> Yes.
>> I have witnesses.
I never touched her.
>> Judge Judy: I don't...
Listen to me.
Don't say anything just yet.
Right?
Now, Ms. Huntsman,
just that I understand,
you never met Ms. Green?
>> Yeah.
I never met her mother.
>> Judge Judy: You never met
her mother?
And you only know Ms. Brown
because she was dating
your little brother?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy:
And you met her how many times?
>> Once.
>> Judge Judy:
And in the one time
that you met her,
you had absolutely
no falling-out with her.
There was no discussions.
There were no arguments.
>> No.
I met her briefly
at a camping trip.
Told her she had a pretty name.
>> Judge Judy: So neither one of
these two people
had any grudge against you?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
You didn't have any grudge
against her prior to April 10th?
>> No.
I don't even know her.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
So I'm going to ask
a few questions.
Ms. Green, have you been
psychiatrically hospitalized
in any way in the last 6 months?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
What about you, Ms. Brown?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy:
Do either one of you take
any psychotropic medication?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
So that you're not crazies
and you weren't on some bender
on April 10th?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: And you say you
never went back to her house.
Now this is what I want you
to be careful with.
What your answer says
is that Ms. Huntsman,
on April 10th,
got in the middle of an argument
with your daughter
and her boyfriend,
and Ms. Huntsman sucker-punched
your daughter,
and she was injured.
You have photographs.
I'm sure you have
hospital records of that injury.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
I have to tell you
that I'm not a vigilante.
You know, I believe in law
and order and stuff,
but if somebody did that
to my daughter,
I would be very, very angry.
I might be angry enough
to go to their house and to take
a sledgehammer to their car.
I might be angry enough...
Just listen to what I'm saying.
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Judge Judy: I might be
angry enough
to break in a window.
I might be angry enough
to destroy a screen door.
Do you understand?
I might be angry enough,
because somebody hurt my child,
to do all of those things.
That's a pretty serious motive,
right?
I just want you to think about
that before you say
to me, "I wasn't there."
Do you understand?
It's all about the story
and what makes sense
and what doesn't.
