Now, you turned around, came
home, you found her in the
living room.
>> Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: You called the
police, and they recorded the
incident of what was going on in
your house.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Do you have
something to show me?
>> Yes, I do.
I have video of the assault
and...
Excuse me.
...and everything that took
place that day.
>> Judge Judy: Because what you
claim is Ms. Reeves assaulted
you.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: And in addition
to assaulting you, she caused
damage to your home.
>> Yes, she has.
>> Judge Judy: I'd like to see.
>> [ Laughs ]
[ Spectators murmuring ]
>> Judge Judy: So...
>> I didn't destroy any of his
property.
>> Judge Judy: I don't believe
the 20 bucks.
Let's start with that.
What were you doing in his
apartment, Ms. Reeves?
>> He was -- He agreed to give
me money.
>> Judge Judy: I don't believe
it.
>> Well...
>> Judge Judy: You want to tell
me what you were doing in the
apartment?
>> He was gonna give me money.
He let me in.
I did not force my way into his
apartment.
>> Judge Judy: When you saw him
on the phone with the police --
which I saw -- where were you?
>> I was in the room.
>> Judge Judy: What room?
>> His bedroom.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
Now, I saw you walk through the
corridor.
That was you walking the end of
the corridor.
That was you.
Why didn't you just leave?
>> He wouldn't let me leave out
the door.
I was in the room.
[ Laughter ]
>> Judge Judy: He was on the
phone with the police.
All he wanted you to do was get
out.
>> He wasn't gonna let me out.
>> Judge Judy: How did you know
that?
He wasn't blocking the door.
>> Well, I didn't know that.
I didn't know what he would do
to me, so I just locked myself
in the room and jumped out the
window.
>> Judge Judy: Now, you have
pictures of the damage?
>> I have the police report of
that day, too.
>> The headphones here?
>> Judge Judy: Headphones, too.
I'm going to take a look at the
police report, and I would like
to see the headphones.
>> Also, I have receipts.
>> Byrd: Police report?
>> Yeah.
>> Byrd: Same report?
>> Yes. Yeah.
>> Judge Judy: You weren't
injured, were you?
>> Uh, she punched me.
>> Judge Judy: It says she
slapped you in the face.
>> No, I got hit right here in
my lower jaw and my neck.
>> Judge Judy: Did it require
medical attention?
>> No.
I was more concerned with my
safety at the time.
>> Judge Judy: You have a
restraining order against the
plaintiff?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: When did you get
a restraining order against him?
>> December 29th, 2014.
>> Judge Judy: Two years ago.
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Why?
>> It was ordered by the court.
They thought I needed protection
from him.
>> Judge Judy: Why?
>> I don't know.
>> Judge Judy: What do you mean
you don't know?
You had to have applied for a
protective order.
>> I didn't.
I was in Marjaree Mason at the
time when he was locked up.
>> Judge Judy: You were what?
>> I was in Marjaree Mason.
>> Judge Judy: What is that?
>> It's like a house for women
that have been -- domestic
violence and stuff like that.
>> Judge Judy: Well, who was the
victim of domestic violence?
>> Me.
>> Judge Judy: And who was a
perpetrator of the domestic
violence?
>> Him.
>> Judge Judy: And that was in
2014, so he was 17, you were 17.
And what did he do to you?
>> He lacerated my knee.
He threw me in some glass.
>> Judge Judy: You remember
that?
>> Yes.
>> I have the medical record for
that.
>> Judge Judy: He admits that he
did that.
Then why did you go to his
apartment, 'cause you needed
money for snacks?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: That doesn't
sound...normal to me.
Does it sound normal to you?
Mm?
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Not to me either.
