00:00 Anything you want to say to me Mr. Stemple?
00:02 Yes, your honor. Welcome to Miss Mojo and today
00:05 We're counting down our picks for the most tragic moments over 25 seasons in Judge Judith
00:11 Shineland's legendary TV courtroom. The question is is this his dog?
00:16 Number 10 suing her parents for ruined credit. The plaintiff put her parents's
00:23 Electricity in her name while she lived with them, but they never paid her back and it tanked her credit score
00:29 Subsequently she closed the account right she closed the account it was reopened
00:35 How she thought I was talking to her and she felt bad for me and she says mom
00:41 I don't want you to not have electricity
00:43 Defendants Alan Evans and Jacqueline Whitmore don't seem completely able to understand or answer the judge's questions
00:50 So why didn't you notify Social Security Disability that your check should stop? She was my payee. Listen to me
00:56 That's not my question to you. It might be because of guilt or because they're genuinely having trouble
01:02 But it seems like a difficult and depressing situation
01:05 It's hard not to feel bad for the daughter who's having to take her own parents to court because they have no desire or the wherewithal
01:12 To do right by her. We understand each other Congress
01:15 Number nine who's responsible for the injury at daycare
01:21 It's every young parents deepest fear if you can't trust the people hired to take care of your kids
01:27 Who can you trust? This was not the first time you would take in the children to her daycare. Is that correct?
01:32 That's correct
01:33 Tiffany Walker and her husband dropped her children off at Heather Sharer's daycare that night their child had a broken leg and had to
01:40 Undergo surgery. So the swing is in the living room, correct?
01:43 And the baby was okay when she dropped the baby off
01:46 Yes, ma'am. Sharer blames the plaintiffs other child for injuring the child
01:50 Which is a bold defense as they were both in her care at the time
01:53 Her demeanor is almost disturbingly flat whether it's guilt or annoyance
01:58 She's completely checked out which doesn't bode well for a child care provider
02:03 So I assume from this answer that according to you it's the nine-year-olds fault
02:09 I don't know that it happened in my care
02:11 The fact is that no one neither the child nor the parents should have gone through this
02:16 Judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $5,000 that will cover $4,000 of your medical bills plus some number eight
02:22 Who should pay for man's gravestone?
02:24 Neva Miller sues her deceased grandson's fiancee Shelby Morrison
02:29 So she will pay for the man's headstone
02:31 Even though Morrison has already paid for the funeral and you're suing her now for
02:36 $2,000 because you want her to pay for a headstone. Yes, ma'am
02:40 But Morrison is so over this heartless family's antics
02:43 She's not even pursuing the remainder of her deceased fiance's life insurance policy because they've made life so difficult for her
02:51 And I don't want the money. It's never been about the money for me in the first place
02:54 Despite saying the defendant didn't provide a headstone
02:57 The defendant has proof that she did and it comes out at that point that the grandmother just hadn't been to the cemetery since
03:05 So it would be fair to say that you just want the money back
03:08 Whatever money is left over while it's terrible to lose a grandchild
03:12 It's clear Miller is being petty for the sake of being petty for her. It was all about the money. Okie dokie
03:19 We're done here. Thank you very much cases dismissed number seven your honor
03:23 That child is lying
03:24 You'd think that your dog biting a child's might be a wake-up call to do something to prevent future
03:29 Incidents and while I passed her the dog went around and behind her and bit me on the leg
03:35 But for some people it's easier to blame children for their own negligence
03:39 That was the case with these defendants
03:42 One was walking their dog when it bit the plaintiffs offspring as the judge is talking to the sweet kid the dog owner can't help
03:49 But call him a liar. I'm sorry your honor. That is false. Just a second. Don't interrupt
03:54 However, the judge isn't so sure she has any right to call someone dishonest as she has plenty of holes in her story
04:01 Why would you direct or suggest that?
04:05 Sammy go around the dog I
04:08 Directed him by standing there
04:11 I didn't when her husband steps in and says the dog actually had reason to bite the boy
04:15 It becomes apparent just how low these two will stoop to avoid responsibility
04:19 So far your wife hasn't given me a reason she's given two different stories
04:25 But not one reason number six doing a sister dirty
04:29 Siblings can have their fights but most don't end up in court
04:33 Corey Koltoff sues her older sister for repayment on dental work
04:37 She paid for did you do that with a particular dentist or with a dental practice?
04:41 It was at the care credit. So the dentist that she went to accepted care credit defendant
04:47 Karissa Koltoff
04:48 Attests she only needed the dental work because Corey had punched her in the jaw a couple years before and now we're even because she
04:55 Wanted to do this for me for punching me in the jaw and for dislodging my teeth. That's you defense, right? Yes
05:03 really
05:05 Really, but the absolute worst part is that Karissa stopped paying because her sister who remember is the one suing is
05:12 Currently dating the father of Karissa's children. Oh
05:15 Shh I don't need that despite being legally, right?
05:20 The plaintiff is morally wrong. No one was on her side after that
05:25 Even the judge who normally tries to stay out of the drama can't help but weigh in I would say she's probably right in that
05:32 Regard, but yeah, she still has to pay for her own dental work number five
05:35 Reuniting a dog with its owner judge Judy fans will never forget how this one turned out
05:41 Although it ends happily with judge Judy playing King Solomon in a case about a lost dog
05:46 The defendants actions in this case are pretty pathetic the defendant purchased a dog from a woman on the street
05:54 Yes, she says she bought a dog from a woman on the street
05:57 However, the plaintiff contends the dog is actually his and has been missing for months. She settles it fairly
06:04 Put the dog down put the dog down
06:07 She tells the defendants daughter to let the dog down and he immediately runs to the plaintiff his old owner
06:13 even as her mother tells her not to the fact that she knows it's the plaintiff's dog and is trying desperately to keep it in
06:20 Spite of that is some truly disgusting behavior. That's all take the dog home number four
06:26 Grieving mother sued grief makes everything messy in this case funeral home owner
06:32 Monty Roberts offered to bury Cheryl Torres his son for free
06:35 I explained to her that our funeral home never turns anybody away. I offered her a variety of different options
06:42 Including free however, she declined opting for a grant that would pay for the full service
06:47 She felt was proper once she did not receive that grant
06:50 She was on the hook for the full cost and decided not to pay the funeral home
06:55 That is your signature there. Miss Torres when it says buyer. Yes
06:58 Okay, so you understand you have a binding contract with him to pay for the funeral service. Mm-hmm. You understand that?
07:04 Yes due to the tremendous pain surrounding the loss of her son
07:08 Torres is clearly on the edge of tears the entire time. The contract is very very simple
07:13 It says that you are purchasing this the judge gets no pleasure from ruling against her and Roberts looks like he'd rather be
07:20 Anywhere else than suing a mother who's lost her child. There are no winners here
07:25 Number three doused with boiling water things in this roommate dispute were almost too bizarre to be true. Do you have a police report?
07:33 Yes, I do. I'd like to take a look at Kylie Jones claims the defendant ex-roommate Octavia
07:38 Kambi poured boiling water on her while she slept and that the police didn't arrest her attacker because he was a
07:45 Quote the gazy officer. What does that mean? That means he's fake with a little more digging
07:51 It becomes clear that Jones was incredibly high on PCP when the officers responded and was too
07:56 Incoherent to advocate for herself at the scene as a result judge Judy offers some words of wisdom
08:02 But in that special way only she can what she did was terrible. Yeah, what she did was terrible
08:08 Yeah, they didn't take you seriously. Yeah Jones is left in tears by the end
08:12 She wins her case, but it's apparent she was her own worst enemy
08:16 Number two a man in desperate need of help the plaintiff in this uncomfortable case gave the defendant money for a work-related
08:24 Substance use test and never paid her back. Did you ask her for money for a drug test?
08:29 Yes, she alleges he spent the money on illicit substances instead judge
08:34 Judy can be a hard nut to crack
08:36 But it's clear the defendant can't even stand in place long enough for her to hear the case. That's not completely true
08:43 basically, I
08:45 did I as he shudders and stumbles over his words at the lectern the defendant can barely string a sentence together and
08:54 It's pretty clear. He's going through withdrawal symptoms rather than submit him to any more questioning
08:59 She realizes he needs help and offers to assist him
09:02 So you 31 years old if you want to be 32 years old, you better get yourself some help

09:21 Number one suing a grieving mother for car damages
09:27 The circumstances of this case are uniquely harrowing
09:30 Wendy Moore gave her teenage son permission to drive her car and he gave the keys to his young friend
09:36 Who was also too young to drive? She was killed in the accident. She daughter killed instantly in the car
09:42 Yes, would you believe it's the irresponsible woman who gave her son the keys that suing the dead girl's mother for damages?
09:49 Well, that's exactly the kind of barrel scraping repugnant behavior on display in this infamous case
09:56 Think carefully what you just said
09:58 That I never gave her permission to drive the car. No, that's not what you just said
10:02 You said I never gave him permission to drive off the property
10:05 Well, the grieving mother can barely keep herself composed in court the unfeeling plaintiff and her son are not smart enough to be grateful
10:13 He made it out alive. They just want money needless to say the judge is unsympathetic to their problem
10:19 I would turn to her and I would say to I can't tell you how terrible I feel
10:24 That in my home in my car
10:26 With the keys that I leave in the car
10:29 Your daughter met such an early death which one of these cases shocked you the most leave us a comment below
10:37 What kind of a bye don't you understand? There are only so many ways I can say goodbye
