1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:03,066
{\an8}She initiated a confrontation with me.
2
00:00:07,533 --> 00:00:08,767
You can't do that.
3
00:00:09,667 --> 00:00:12,066
It... I didn't... It wasn't my intention.
4
00:00:12,133 --> 00:00:14,533
She installed a camera, set me up...
5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,266
It was absolutely your intention.
6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:18,467
You can't do that.
7
00:00:18,533 --> 00:00:20,900
[narrator]
This is Judy Justice.
8
00:00:20,967 --> 00:00:22,934
[theme music playing]
9
00:00:38,033 --> 00:00:41,100
{\an8}[narrator] Sherry and Jeffrey Marshall
are suing their neighbors,
10
00:00:41,166 --> 00:00:44,934
{\an8}Joseph and Jennifer Feugate
for an insurance deductible
11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,367
and filing a false police report.
12
00:00:47,433 --> 00:00:50,400
[bailiff]
Court, come to order. All rise.
13
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:51,533
Have a seat, please.
14
00:00:53,367 --> 00:00:55,800
Case #2074, Marshall versus Feugate.
15
00:00:55,867 --> 00:00:57,233
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
16
00:00:58,233 --> 00:01:03,800
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, you live
across the street from Mr. Feugate
17
00:01:03,867 --> 00:01:05,433
- and his mother.
- Yes.
18
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:07,467
How long have you lived in your house?
19
00:01:07,533 --> 00:01:08,867
Twenty-two years.
20
00:01:08,934 --> 00:01:11,667
And Mr. Feugate, how long have you
lived in your house?
21
00:01:11,734 --> 00:01:15,333
Your Honor, my mom has lived in the house
longer than I have.
22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:20,734
She's lived in it since 2008.
I moved in in 2016.
23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,600
Mr. and Mrs. Marshall, this problem
that I'm gonna try to rectify today,
24
00:01:25,667 --> 00:01:28,333
- deals with parking space.
- Yes.
25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,934
And the parking space
is a public parking space, correct?
26
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,166
- Yes, ma'am.
- Yes.
27
00:01:34,233 --> 00:01:38,166
And it's on the street.
And the public parking space
28
00:01:38,233 --> 00:01:40,433
happens to be in front of your home.
29
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:42,300
- Yes, ma'am.
- [Judy] You live across the street.
30
00:01:42,367 --> 00:01:45,166
- Yes, ma'am.
- [Judy] And the case involves
31
00:01:45,233 --> 00:01:49,266
acrimony that has developed
because you, Mr. Feugate,
32
00:01:49,333 --> 00:01:52,900
would like to keep that spot
that's in front of your home,
33
00:01:52,967 --> 00:01:57,900
{\an8}free for your mother, who you say,
for health reasons,
34
00:01:57,967 --> 00:02:01,266
would be more convenient for her
to park right in front of the house.
35
00:02:01,333 --> 00:02:02,266
Yes, ma'am.
36
00:02:02,333 --> 00:02:06,533
[Judy] And Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
sometimes, or always,
37
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,633
park in that spot.
That's what the problem is.
38
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:09,700
- Yes.
- [Judy] Okay.
39
00:02:09,767 --> 00:02:12,800
And I assume you're going to
speak for your husband for now?
40
00:02:12,867 --> 00:02:14,100
I can, yes.
41
00:02:14,166 --> 00:02:15,433
Do you want her to talk for you?
42
00:02:15,500 --> 00:02:16,500
It's fine.
43
00:02:16,567 --> 00:02:20,100
[laughs] He learned his lesson well.
44
00:02:20,166 --> 00:02:22,967
Oh, that's very good. Perfect.
45
00:02:23,033 --> 00:02:25,834
I can speak for myself.
If she needs to, she can.
46
00:02:25,900 --> 00:02:28,433
[Judy] Perfect.
You've been living there a long time.
47
00:02:28,500 --> 00:02:33,667
Did you have any trouble
with the Feugate family
48
00:02:33,734 --> 00:02:39,700
about this parking space
between 2008 and 2016?
49
00:02:39,767 --> 00:02:43,133
- No.
- [Judy] So, before the son moved in,
50
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:44,433
you had no problem.
51
00:02:44,500 --> 00:02:45,800
That's right.
52
00:02:45,867 --> 00:02:47,567
That's a lie, Your Honor.
53
00:02:47,633 --> 00:02:53,000
Just a second. Had you ever had
discussions with Mrs. Feugate
54
00:02:53,066 --> 00:02:55,767
about parking in that spot
before he came?
55
00:02:55,834 --> 00:02:56,967
No, ma'am.
- [Judy] Okay.
56
00:02:57,033 --> 00:03:00,166
{\an8}Now, Mrs. Feugate,
did you understand what I said?
57
00:03:00,233 --> 00:03:01,300
{\an8}Yes, ma'am.
58
00:03:01,367 --> 00:03:04,600
{\an8}[Judy] Okay. I want you to be very careful
in your answer to me.
59
00:03:04,667 --> 00:03:05,667
Yes, ma'am.
60
00:03:05,734 --> 00:03:07,400
You've lived there for a long time.
61
00:03:07,467 --> 00:03:12,433
Your son didn't move in until 2016.
Before your son moved in,
62
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:18,133
did you ever have any communication
with Mr. and Mrs. Marshall
63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,367
about parking in front of your house?
64
00:03:20,433 --> 00:03:25,967
Ma'am, she didn't park in front of
my house before my son moved in.
65
00:03:26,033 --> 00:03:28,433
Okay. So, is that correct?
66
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,633
That's correct.
67
00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:33,934
Okay. Can you tell me what changed
after her son moved in?
68
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:39,967
{\an8}Okay. Where I park at is actually
across the street from the Feugates.
69
00:03:40,033 --> 00:03:46,000
{\an8}It's right by my driveway.
And I park my Toyota Avalon
70
00:03:46,066 --> 00:03:51,467
right beside my driveway,
which is the parking spot
71
00:03:51,533 --> 00:03:56,266
that Mr. Feugate
is causing the problems over.
72
00:03:56,333 --> 00:03:59,333
So, the parking spot
is in front of your house?
73
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,200
No, it's not in front of my house,
it's beside my driveway.
74
00:04:03,266 --> 00:04:05,567
- [Judy] But on your side of the house.
- That's correct.
75
00:04:05,633 --> 00:04:07,400
- [Judy] On your side of the street.
- Correct.
76
00:04:07,467 --> 00:04:12,667
Did they have a parking space in front of
their house on their side of the street?
77
00:04:12,734 --> 00:04:13,667
Yes, ma'am.
78
00:04:13,734 --> 00:04:15,166
[Judy]
Do you ever park there?
79
00:04:15,233 --> 00:04:21,066
I have, when they took the parking space
I usually park in,
80
00:04:21,133 --> 00:04:23,734
I did park across the street.
81
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,500
Okay. So, occasionally,
either Mr. Feugate, his mother,
82
00:04:28,567 --> 00:04:31,700
parks on your side of the street,
on a public street,
83
00:04:31,767 --> 00:04:33,800
and you'll park in front of their house.
84
00:04:33,867 --> 00:04:34,800
Correct.
85
00:04:34,867 --> 00:04:38,667
Okay, I got it. Okay.
So, let me tell you all this:
86
00:04:38,734 --> 00:04:41,166
We're gonna finish part of the case
right now.
87
00:04:41,233 --> 00:04:42,900
Too bad.
88
00:04:44,033 --> 00:04:47,333
You can park wherever you want
on a public street.
89
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,200
Because there are other visitors
that come, I assume,
90
00:04:50,266 --> 00:04:53,433
for people who live on the block
that they take up parking spaces
91
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,600
and occasionally there aren't
other parking spaces.
92
00:04:55,667 --> 00:04:58,567
You know, there's no question you would
prefer to park on your side of the street
93
00:04:58,633 --> 00:05:00,633
and you would prefer to park
on your side of the street.
94
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:02,033
If you can't, you can't.
95
00:05:02,100 --> 00:05:05,667
Mr. Feugate, I'm just telling you,
just so that you know,
96
00:05:05,734 --> 00:05:08,834
you have no right
to a public parking space.
97
00:05:08,900 --> 00:05:10,300
Yes, I understand that, Your Honor.
98
00:05:10,367 --> 00:05:12,433
I'm not the one that
needs to be told that, though.
99
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:16,066
You have no right
to a public parking space.
100
00:05:16,133 --> 00:05:17,000
Yes, ma'am.
101
00:05:17,066 --> 00:05:19,033
Where do you live? In what state?
102
00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:20,667
Ohio. Cincinnati.
103
00:05:20,734 --> 00:05:24,500
Okay. I've actually been to Cincinnati, frequently.
104
00:05:24,567 --> 00:05:30,400
But I am certain that
there is no regulation in Ohio
105
00:05:30,467 --> 00:05:35,467
or any city or town thereof, that says,
well, you sort of had first dibs
106
00:05:35,533 --> 00:05:40,200
on the parking space, on the public street
that's in front of your house.
107
00:05:40,266 --> 00:05:42,233
That's ridiculous.
108
00:05:42,300 --> 00:05:46,166
{\an8}The best that Cincinnati has, Your Honor,
is a three-day law
109
00:05:46,233 --> 00:05:49,166
{\an8}that if the vehicle doesn't move
within three days,
110
00:05:49,233 --> 00:05:53,033
then it could be towed by the city.
But that's the best that they have.
111
00:05:53,100 --> 00:05:56,066
You live across the street
from each other. Did either of you
112
00:05:56,133 --> 00:06:00,600
ever call the police and say a car
has been there for more than three days?
113
00:06:00,667 --> 00:06:02,400
- Yes, Your Honor.
- Who did?
114
00:06:02,467 --> 00:06:04,166
- [Joseph] I did, Your Honor.
- Why?
115
00:06:04,233 --> 00:06:09,033
Because the spot in question,
that's directly across the street,
116
00:06:09,100 --> 00:06:13,800
it's actually, it's hindering to
the entire flow of the neighborhood
117
00:06:13,867 --> 00:06:15,867
and where everybody parks on the street.
118
00:06:15,934 --> 00:06:19,533
I served ten years, Army, and, um...
119
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,934
I fight for... I fought
for people's rights.
120
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,033
Listen, I don't care if you're a
good person, if you're not a good person.
121
00:06:25,100 --> 00:06:27,300
if you're a do-gooder,
if you're not a do-gooder.
122
00:06:27,367 --> 00:06:31,834
It's a public street.
And if what you're suggesting to me is
123
00:06:31,900 --> 00:06:35,967
they should be nice, it's an older person
and they shouldn't park in that spot...
124
00:06:36,033 --> 00:06:39,633
What I'm telling you is,
I wouldn't start up with anybody
125
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:43,400
by calling the police on a car that I...
Especially a car that I knew.
126
00:06:43,467 --> 00:06:48,133
I know that it's my neighbor's car,
They've been living there for 22 years,
127
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,600
relatively peacefully. Relatively peace...
128
00:06:51,667 --> 00:06:53,600
It hasn't really been peaceful,
Your Honor.
129
00:06:53,667 --> 00:06:54,533
You moved there.
130
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,500
Yes, I did.
131
00:06:55,567 --> 00:06:59,100
They were living there
a decade before you moved there. You.
132
00:06:59,166 --> 00:07:00,166
Yes, ma'am.
133
00:07:00,233 --> 00:07:03,233
If it wasn't peaceful, there are options,
you're a free person.
134
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:07,333
But I think it's absolutely ridiculous.
I can't imagine my calling the police
135
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,266
on a neighbor's car
that was parked in the street.
136
00:07:10,333 --> 00:07:13,567
Well, that created problems. Okay.
So, I see where we're going,
137
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:15,467
we're gonna get to this case.
138
00:07:15,533 --> 00:07:20,033
Reimbursement for insurance deductible.
That's one thing.
139
00:07:20,100 --> 00:07:23,967
{\an8}Because you claim that Mr. Feugate
damaged your car.
140
00:07:24,033 --> 00:07:24,900
{\an8}Yes, ma'am.
141
00:07:24,967 --> 00:07:26,000
[Judy]
On what date?
142
00:07:26,066 --> 00:07:29,033
That was on June the 26th.
143
00:07:29,100 --> 00:07:30,300
[Judy]
Of this year?
144
00:07:30,367 --> 00:07:32,200
Of '21, I'm sorry.
145
00:07:32,266 --> 00:07:36,233
Okay. Do you have any video evidence
of the damage to your car?
146
00:07:36,300 --> 00:07:38,200
No, ma'am, all I have is a picture.
147
00:07:38,266 --> 00:07:41,834
Tell me how he damaged the car.
With what did he damage the car?
148
00:07:41,900 --> 00:07:46,934
Okay. He damaged the car with his hand.
I'm parking the car...
149
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,333
[Judy]
You mean in front of...
150
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,867
In front of Mrs. Feugate's home.
151
00:07:50,934 --> 00:07:53,200
- [Judy] So, on her side of the street.
- Yes, ma'am.
152
00:07:53,266 --> 00:07:58,867
I exit the car. Mr. Feugate
is being erratical...
153
00:07:58,934 --> 00:08:03,100
No-no, don't tell me what your
perception of... Tell me what he did.
154
00:08:03,166 --> 00:08:04,834
He was beating the hood of the car.
155
00:08:04,900 --> 00:08:07,467
[Judy] He came up to the car and
was hitting the top of the car.
156
00:08:07,533 --> 00:08:09,667
- [Sherry] Yes, ma'am.
- [Judy] Okay, now I'll see the car.
157
00:08:09,734 --> 00:08:11,300
And the police report.
158
00:08:21,500 --> 00:08:25,033
I see the dent.
And that's the hood of the car.
159
00:08:25,100 --> 00:08:26,834
Okay.
160
00:08:32,567 --> 00:08:37,533
Okay, this police report says Mr. Feugate
told the police in his narrative,
161
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,467
that this incident occurred... There was
a disagreement over the parking space
162
00:08:41,533 --> 00:08:46,633
and that you struck him with the car,
causing minor injury.
163
00:08:46,700 --> 00:08:48,934
{\an8}Okay, because you have
a cross complaint for that.
164
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,066
{\an8}That is correct.
165
00:08:50,133 --> 00:08:54,700
{\an8}[Judy] So, that's a simple...
June 26th, I see the car was damaged,
166
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:58,333
there's no question it was damaged
by somebody pounding on the hood.
167
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,166
And I assume that was you.
168
00:09:00,233 --> 00:09:03,166
Ma'am, that's wrong.
I did not pound on the hood.
169
00:09:03,233 --> 00:09:08,033
Well, then, tell me, Mr. Feugate,
how these dents occurred,
170
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:10,633
just the way they look,
on the hood of the car.
171
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:14,834
Your Honor, there is a...
I have the 911 audio calls of the night,
172
00:09:14,900 --> 00:09:18,500
as well as the police report.
And I also drew up a diagram
173
00:09:18,567 --> 00:09:22,533
where she was originally parked,
that explains everything. But...
174
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,300
[Judy]
Okay. So, I'd like to see that.
175
00:09:24,367 --> 00:09:28,133
Um, ma'am, if I could
approach the diagram?
176
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,734
[Judy]
Absolutely. June 26th.
177
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:37,600
On June 26th, I was talking to my parents
when the Marshalls came home.
178
00:09:37,667 --> 00:09:41,433
My car was parked right here.
Okay, they came home,
179
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:45,300
they blocked their own driveway and
parked right up on top of my bumper.
180
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:49,800
Just a second. Just a second.
So, you, Mr. Feugate,
181
00:09:49,867 --> 00:09:53,367
were parked on a public street
where you could park,
182
00:09:53,433 --> 00:09:57,166
on their side of the street,
not your side of the street.
183
00:09:57,233 --> 00:09:58,100
Yes, Your Honor.
184
00:09:58,166 --> 00:10:01,066
And they came up,
blocking their own driveway.
185
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:02,033
Yes, Your Honor.
186
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,333
[Judy] Okay. Did you see them?
Were you in the house watching?
187
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,300
No, I was on my parents' porch.
188
00:10:08,367 --> 00:10:12,133
Okay. So, now you're on
your parents' porch, they're in their car,
189
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,133
and they blocked their own driveway.
190
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,867
Yes, Your Honor.
Not a big ordeal, right.
191
00:10:16,934 --> 00:10:18,166
Not any of your business.
192
00:10:18,233 --> 00:10:20,700
Right. It wasn't, like I said,
wasn't a problem to me...
193
00:10:20,767 --> 00:10:22,500
Wasn't any of your business.
194
00:10:22,567 --> 00:10:24,233
- Exactly. So...
- [Judy] Go ahead.
195
00:10:24,300 --> 00:10:29,066
I'm talking to my parents on the phone,
they're just getting done working.
196
00:10:29,133 --> 00:10:32,066
I can hear that the Marshalls are upset
197
00:10:32,133 --> 00:10:35,633
about where I'm parked at
on a public street.
198
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:41,233
And I went out to save my parents' spot,
because I could hear her say,
199
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:42,934
I'm gonna teach him a lesson.
200
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,400
So, Mr. Feugate, now,
is what you're telling me that that car,
201
00:10:48,467 --> 00:10:51,767
where you're standing,
you went out to make it so
202
00:10:51,834 --> 00:10:54,133
that they could not park
on a public street.
203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,300
Is that what you're telling me?
The answer is yes.
204
00:10:57,367 --> 00:10:59,433
- Yes. Yes.
- [Judy] You got off the porch,
205
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:04,533
to stand in the street to block them
206
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,633
from moving in front of your house
207
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:11,900
because your car was parked
on their side of the street.
208
00:11:11,967 --> 00:11:13,300
- No. No, Your Honor.
- Just...
209
00:11:13,367 --> 00:11:15,900
- No, you got that wrong.
- Is that red car yours?
210
00:11:15,967 --> 00:11:17,633
The red car is mine. Yes, Your Honor.
211
00:11:17,700 --> 00:11:20,133
Just a... The red car is yours.
Listen, I'm not a moron.
212
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,066
- [Joseph] I know that.
- The white car
213
00:11:23,133 --> 00:11:27,667
is the space that you wanted to save
for your parents.
214
00:11:27,734 --> 00:11:30,567
Yes, Your Honor. The were
on their way home. I was talking...
215
00:11:30,633 --> 00:11:33,367
Who gives a rat's behind where they were.
216
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:37,934
- Now you have both spots.
- This whole area was clear.
217
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,233
There is a crossing road that comes
through here, and they coulda parked...
218
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,967
Who made you the monitor
of public parking?
219
00:11:44,033 --> 00:11:44,934
No one.
220
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,033
{\an8}Who do you think you are
to be the monitor of public parking?
221
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:54,133
{\an8}[theme music playing]
222

{\an8}[narrator] Sherry and Jeffrey Marshall
claim their neighbors,
223
00:12:01,567 --> 00:12:04,967
{\an8}Joseph and Jennifer Feugate,
owe for an insurance deductible
224
00:12:05,033 --> 00:12:07,500
and filing a false police report.
225
00:12:07,567 --> 00:12:11,367
Joseph and Jennifer are countersuing
for medical bills from an assault.
226
00:12:11,433 --> 00:12:15,867
Now, you went out on a public street
to go like this,
227
00:12:15,934 --> 00:12:19,734
to save a parking space
for your parents,
228
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000
- that you had no right to do.
- Yes, Your Honor.
229
00:12:22,066 --> 00:12:25,433
Let me just understand this.
You had no right to go out there.
230
00:12:25,500 --> 00:12:29,533
You parked on their side of the street,
and then, you went outside
231
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,934
to save the spot 'cause
your parents were on their way home.
232
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,567
- Yeah, not...
- Just a second.
233
00:12:34,633 --> 00:12:39,967
You have no right to do that.
Zero. Don't you understand that?
234
00:12:40,033 --> 00:12:42,333
No, actually, I don't understand that,
Your Honor.
235
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,166
How do I not have a right
to save a spot...
236
00:12:44,233 --> 00:12:47,500
You do not have a right
to save a public... Just a second.
237
00:12:47,567 --> 00:12:50,834
You don't have that right.
Because I'm here to tell you.
238
00:12:50,900 --> 00:12:53,800
You don't have a right to save a spot
on a public street
239
00:12:53,867 --> 00:12:58,033
by standing in the street like this,
don't park here.
240
00:12:58,100 --> 00:12:59,033
I wasn't like this.
241
00:12:59,100 --> 00:13:03,233
I don't care whether you were
hopping on one foot and chewing gum.
242
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,834
You don't have the right to save a spot...
243
00:13:05,900 --> 00:13:10,834
And it makes it twice as obnoxious because
you parked on their side of the street.
244
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:14,133
Now, if there was a spot in front of
their house that they could park in
245
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,767
and they said no, I'm gonna park
in front of the Defendant's house,
246
00:13:16,834 --> 00:13:19,300
I could say, you know what, that's nasty.
247
00:13:19,367 --> 00:13:21,133
- [Joseph] Well, that's...
- [Judy] That's nasty.
248
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,333
Now you have both spots.
249
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,166
This whole area was clear. Okay,
and there is a crossing road
250
00:13:25,233 --> 00:13:27,233
that comes through here
and they coulda parked...
251
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:30,834
Who made you
the monitor of public parking?
252
00:13:30,900 --> 00:13:32,633
- No one.
- Who do you think you are
253
00:13:32,700 --> 00:13:35,834
to be the monitor of public parking?
Get back.
254
00:13:35,900 --> 00:13:38,133
- [audience laughs]
- [Joseph] Yes, Your Honor.
255
00:13:39,533 --> 00:13:42,667
[Judy] Okay. So now,
Mr. Monitor of Public Parking,
256
00:13:42,734 --> 00:13:45,567
you come out and you're standing
in the street to save the spot.
257
00:13:45,633 --> 00:13:48,600
She comes around to park there.
Right?
258
00:13:48,667 --> 00:13:49,633
Yes, Your Honor.
259
00:13:49,700 --> 00:13:51,100
Tell me what happened.
260
00:13:51,166 --> 00:13:55,600
{\an8}Well, um, she came around to park there
and then she hit me with her car.
261
00:13:55,667 --> 00:13:58,266
{\an8}[Judy] Just a second.
She came around to park there,
262
00:13:58,333 --> 00:14:00,066
and you were standing in the street.
263
00:14:00,133 --> 00:14:01,066
Yes, Your Honor.
264
00:14:01,133 --> 00:14:05,133
Okay. Pay careful attention. Where did
she hit you in the car before you moved?
265
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,233
She hit me in the knee.
266
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:10,667
In the knee. And so you
jumped out of the way... No-no...
267
00:14:10,734 --> 00:14:14,467
I fell on her car.
I was talking on the phone,
268
00:14:14,533 --> 00:14:18,033
and when she hit me in the knee,
I fell on her car.
269
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:22,100
Baloney. That's not what this is.
What was the damage to your car?
270
00:14:22,166 --> 00:14:26,033
That's baloney, that didn't happen
'cause your elbow went on her car.
271
00:14:26,100 --> 00:14:30,100
{\an8}Sir, she hit you on the knee. She hit you
on the knee with the front of her car,
272
00:14:30,166 --> 00:14:33,700
{\an8}which is possible. By the way,
you have medical records to show me?
273
00:14:33,767 --> 00:14:35,667
- [Joseph] I do.
- I'd like to see them.
274
00:14:36,700 --> 00:14:39,266
The record should reflect
that they closed this case,
275
00:14:39,333 --> 00:14:44,000
made no arrests in this case and probably
told everybody to behave themselves,
276
00:14:44,066 --> 00:14:45,233
which is what I'm doing.
277
00:14:46,767 --> 00:14:47,767
I apologize.
278
00:14:50,433 --> 00:14:53,633
[sighs] Okay. What is this?
279
00:14:53,700 --> 00:14:55,767
That is the ambulance bill for...
280
00:14:55,834 --> 00:14:59,033
I want to see a medical record.
I don't care if you went in an ambulance,
281
00:14:59,100 --> 00:15:02,600
and I want to see what the doctor reported
about your injury. Where is that?
282
00:15:02,667 --> 00:15:04,300
I was unable to get that.
283
00:15:04,367 --> 00:15:07,467
[Judy] Well, that's too bad. I'm not
interested in this, that's nonsense.
284
00:15:07,533 --> 00:15:09,633
Okay. How much did it cost
to fix your car?
285
00:15:09,700 --> 00:15:11,100
Here we are. Thank you.
286
00:15:15,133 --> 00:15:17,033
And you have a $500 deductible?
287
00:15:17,100 --> 00:15:18,033
Yes, ma'am.
288
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:22,033
$500, so far, for the Plaintiff.
The counterclaim,
289
00:15:22,100 --> 00:15:26,300
that talks about medical bills for this,
is dismissed.
290
00:15:26,367 --> 00:15:28,533
Okay. Filing a false police report.
291
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:29,533
Yes, ma'am.
292
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,500
[Judy] And the false police report
you're talking about is what?
293
00:15:32,567 --> 00:15:36,934
Mrs. Feugate initiated a confrontation
with me.
294
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,000
[Judy] When?
295
00:15:38,066 --> 00:15:43,300
December 22nd.
I'm on my way to my vehicle,
296
00:15:43,367 --> 00:15:49,166
Mrs. Feugate is parked,
maybe like ten feet behind me...
297
00:15:49,233 --> 00:15:51,667
[Judy]
Put up the diagram again, please.
298
00:15:51,734 --> 00:15:55,633
Okay. Just go over to the board.
This is a different date,
299
00:15:55,700 --> 00:15:58,767
but I just want you to show me
where she was and where you were.
300
00:15:58,834 --> 00:16:03,600
Okay. Mrs. Feugate was parked
right about here.
301
00:16:03,667 --> 00:16:07,200
She parked right about there,
which is opposite your house.
302
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:08,133
Yes, ma'am.
303
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:09,066
[Judy] Okay.
304
00:16:09,133 --> 00:16:11,000
And I'm parked here.
305
00:16:11,066 --> 00:16:13,667
- [Judy] In front of her house.
- Correct.
306
00:16:13,734 --> 00:16:17,100
Okay. So, you're both
on the same side of the street,
307
00:16:17,166 --> 00:16:19,266
which is the Defendant's
side of the street.
308
00:16:19,333 --> 00:16:23,100
You're parked across the street
from your house.
309
00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:24,800
- [Sherry] That's correct.
- Got it.
310
00:16:24,867 --> 00:16:26,633
- Go ahead. What happened?
- Okay.
311
00:16:26,700 --> 00:16:31,266
And Mrs. Feugate, she comes out of her car
and she's walking towards me,
312
00:16:31,333 --> 00:16:36,300
she's upset, she's yelling, and
I don't remember all of the words
313
00:16:36,367 --> 00:16:38,734
that she was saying,
but it was about parking.
314
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,166
She was telling me I couldn't park
where I was parked at.
315
00:16:42,233 --> 00:16:45,600
She's yelling, she's screaming,
I'm trying to reason with her.
316
00:16:45,667 --> 00:16:47,600
- Could you step back there?
- Yes.
317
00:16:48,867 --> 00:16:54,066
I'm trying to reason with Mrs. Feugate,
I'm telling her it's a public street.
318
00:16:54,133 --> 00:16:59,533
and I can park there. She's yelling and
screaming and telling me that I can't.
319
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,533
We're standing in front of one another.
She's still yelling and screaming
320
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,200
and I'm trying to reason with her.
Next thing I know,
321
00:17:07,266 --> 00:17:11,834
she hits me on the hand.
My reflex, I pushed her back.
322
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:15,500
Next thing I know,
she's still standing after I pushed.
323
00:17:15,567 --> 00:17:17,734
Next thing I know,
I guess she thought about it,
324
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000
then she made herself fall on the ground.
325
00:17:20,066 --> 00:17:22,266
{\an8}[Judy]
Well, I don't know whether she did or not.
326
00:17:22,333 --> 00:17:25,467
{\an8}Somebody said, with regard to this,
that there's a video of this.
327
00:17:25,533 --> 00:17:26,700
Is that correct?
328
00:17:26,767 --> 00:17:27,667
Yes, ma'am.
329
00:17:27,734 --> 00:17:30,467
It was recorded, wasn't shown in court.
330
00:17:30,533 --> 00:17:33,767
I don't care whether it was shown in court
or not. I would like to see...
331
00:17:33,834 --> 00:17:37,934
'Cause I read here that there's
a security video of what happened on...
332
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,600
There's a security camera.
333
00:17:39,667 --> 00:17:42,133
If it's a video, you don't have to
go up there, Mrs. Feugate,
334
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
'cause I can actually see it myself.
So now,
335
00:17:45,066 --> 00:17:47,667
those are the two cars parked
on the same side of the street
336
00:17:47,734 --> 00:17:50,700
and they are parked on
the Defendant's side of the street.
337
00:17:50,767 --> 00:17:51,700
Yes, ma'am.
338
00:17:51,767 --> 00:17:54,100
- [Judy] And your car is the...
- Black car.
339
00:17:54,166 --> 00:17:56,133
Your car is the black car,
their car is the red car.
340
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,200
That's correct.
341
00:17:57,266 --> 00:17:59,667
And that's Mrs. Feugate
getting out of her car.
342
00:17:59,734 --> 00:18:01,633
Okay, now I'd like to see the video.
343
00:18:04,066 --> 00:18:05,967
[Jennifer]
She started to move up.
344
00:18:08,667 --> 00:18:11,700
So, I thought I'd move my car
a little closer.
345
00:18:11,767 --> 00:18:13,734
Ssh! Don't speak.
346
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,300
- [Sherry] That's when she...
- [Judy] Ssh!
347
00:18:44,367 --> 00:18:46,967
Okay, I'm gonna see that again, please.
348
00:18:47,033 --> 00:18:50,200
And I'd like you to do it slowly,
at some point
349
00:18:50,266 --> 00:18:53,900
when they're right in each other's faces
and getting very nasty.
350
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,834
Oh, no-no, Mrs. Marshall,
you can't do that.
351
00:19:12,900 --> 00:19:15,300
- It wasn't my intention. When she...
- [Judy] Just a second.
352
00:19:15,367 --> 00:19:16,734
It was absolutely your intention.
353
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,800
No, it was not.
354
00:19:17,867 --> 00:19:19,633
- It was absolutely your intention...
- No.
355
00:19:19,700 --> 00:19:23,033
Listen. You know,
I'm an equal opportunity abuser.
356
00:19:23,100 --> 00:19:26,367
You can't do that.
You can't do what I just saw.
357
00:19:26,433 --> 00:19:29,400
What I just saw is unreasonable behavior.
358
00:19:29,467 --> 00:19:33,300
And totally inconsistent to being,
maybe, which I didn't see,
359
00:19:33,367 --> 00:19:34,834
- slapped on the hand.
- Right.
360
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:37,333
[Judy] Maybe slapped on the hand.
I didn't see it.
361
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,300
But I did see you give her
a substantial shove,
362
00:19:40,367 --> 00:19:43,767
and she is a person who has
a certain infirmity and she fell.
363
00:19:43,834 --> 00:19:47,567
And if she fell, and if she was injured,
you're responsible. That's it.
364
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,667
I saw you give her a shove,
that didn't, as you say,
365
00:19:53,734 --> 00:19:57,900
she decided to fall back down.
No, madam, you hit her with such force
366
00:19:57,967 --> 00:19:59,834
- that she fell backward.
- You weren't there.
367
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:02,367
You say no, I say yes, I'm a judge, I win.
368
00:20:06,834 --> 00:20:09,033
[theme music playing]
369
00:20:13,500 --> 00:20:17,100
{\an8}[narrator] Sherry and Jeffrey Marshall
have accused their neighbors,
370
00:20:17,166 --> 00:20:20,900
{\an8}Joseph and Jennifer Feugate,
of damaging their car.
371
00:20:20,967 --> 00:20:25,400
Jennifer claims she was assaulted
by Sherry over a parking spot.
372
00:20:25,467 --> 00:20:29,300
Now, I saw the video, I don't have to
have your mother testify.
373
00:20:29,367 --> 00:20:32,300
You should've not created an incident,
Mrs. Feugate.
374
00:20:32,367 --> 00:20:33,767
I did not.
375
00:20:33,834 --> 00:20:36,467
Just a second. Yes, you did.
376
00:20:36,533 --> 00:20:42,467
I was walking toward the car and
I was to go to my car and pull up,
377
00:20:42,533 --> 00:20:45,233
because she was starting
to pull her car up.
378
00:20:45,300 --> 00:20:49,266
And if you look, she started
to pull her car up first.
379
00:20:49,333 --> 00:20:54,734
{\an8}And then, when she come around the car,
she's holding her cell phone yelling,
380
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,567
{\an8}"I got you on recording.
I'm recording you
381
00:20:58,633 --> 00:21:02,467
because I'm gonna show you a hate crime."
Excuse me...
382
00:21:02,533 --> 00:21:07,233
Just a second. Part of the problem
is you and your son
383
00:21:07,300 --> 00:21:12,600
have to understand that you have no right
to the parking spaces
384
00:21:12,667 --> 00:21:16,266
that on a public street,
just a second, in front of your house.
385
00:21:16,333 --> 00:21:20,600
And your son, clearly,
is a provocateur in this
386
00:21:20,667 --> 00:21:23,900
because he parks his car
on their side of the street.
387
00:21:23,967 --> 00:21:28,000
I'm not get... So, what I'm doing
is I am dissecting this case.
388
00:21:28,066 --> 00:21:31,266
If I have two unreasonable people,
they're gonna continue
389
00:21:31,333 --> 00:21:34,700
to make each other's lives miserable,
and I can't control that.
390
00:21:34,767 --> 00:21:38,467
All I can do is hear each individual side.
So, Mrs. Feugate,
391
00:21:38,533 --> 00:21:43,166
I have already said that Mrs. Marshall
had no right, based upon what I saw,
392
00:21:43,233 --> 00:21:47,700
to push you with such force that you fell.
I would like to see the medical report
393
00:21:47,767 --> 00:21:52,467
after the incident of December 22nd.
May I see it, Kevin?
394
00:21:52,533 --> 00:21:58,500
I was in the ER, and I had to wear a brace
for a month, on my arm and shoulder.
395
00:21:58,567 --> 00:22:02,500
Did you have any out-of-pocket expense?
396
00:22:02,567 --> 00:22:06,433
I paid $900
'cause it was Christmas holidays.
397
00:22:06,500 --> 00:22:09,300
All I want to know is did you have any
out-of-pocket expense.
398
00:22:09,367 --> 00:22:11,000
- Yes, Your Honor.
- And I also I had...
399
00:22:11,066 --> 00:22:13,433
Ssh! What is this?
400
00:22:13,500 --> 00:22:16,867
I had to have a woman come in
and clean my house...
401
00:22:16,934 --> 00:22:19,233
- [Judy] I don't care about that.
- That was out-of-pocket.
402
00:22:19,300 --> 00:22:21,934
Return that. That's a bill
for somebody to come in and clean.
403
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,166
Let her clean. Okay. So, filing a false
police report and false arrest.
404
00:22:27,233 --> 00:22:29,166
{\an8}- Who was arrested?
- I was.
405
00:22:29,233 --> 00:22:31,800
{\an8}[Judy] You were arrested, in my judgment, legitimately,
406
00:22:31,867 --> 00:22:35,266
because of based upon what I saw.
So, I'm dismissing...
407
00:22:35,333 --> 00:22:37,000
That is not why they arrested me.
408
00:22:37,066 --> 00:22:42,333
Oh, okay. So, that is not... The reason
that you were arrested, was not this?
409
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,333
The reason why I was arrested
is because when she hit me,
410
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,433
and when I pushed her back...
When they asked me what happened,
411
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,633
I did not tell them
that she had struck me.
412
00:22:55,700 --> 00:22:59,133
Miss Marshall, is the reason
you were arrested
413
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,734
based upon the occurrence
of December 22nd?
414
00:23:02,834 --> 00:23:04,967
- Yes, it was.
- Well, that's what I said.
415
00:23:05,033 --> 00:23:10,300
So, don't say no. The reason you were
arrested and claim, falsely,
416
00:23:10,367 --> 00:23:14,033
is as a result of
the December 22nd incident.
417
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:15,166
But I was cleared.
418
00:23:15,233 --> 00:23:18,066
I don't care whether you were
cleared or not. I didn't clear you.
419
00:23:18,133 --> 00:23:22,100
The burden of proof in a criminal case
is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
420
00:23:22,166 --> 00:23:25,700
Okay? That is not the burden of proof
in a civil proceeding.
421
00:23:25,767 --> 00:23:28,166
It's a much lower standard.
I looked at that video,
422
00:23:28,233 --> 00:23:32,000
I believe that your conduct
was unconscionable.
423
00:23:32,066 --> 00:23:34,367
And not hers? You didn't see her...
424
00:23:34,433 --> 00:23:37,867
I think that her behavior was stupid.
425
00:23:37,934 --> 00:23:39,834
- Yeah.
- [Judy] Just a second.
426
00:23:39,900 --> 00:23:42,533
I don't see her hitting you.
I see you walking away.
427
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,867
Miss Marshall, I see you walk away.
But I saw you give her a shove
428
00:23:46,934 --> 00:23:50,600
that, as you say, she decided
to fall back down... No, madam,
429
00:23:50,667 --> 00:23:53,133
you hit her with such force
that she fell backward.
430
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,133
- You weren't there...
- You say no, I say yes,
431
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,734
I'm a judge, I win. So you...
On your case,
432
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,433
I said absolutely, I don't believe him. I
don't believe that the damage to your car
433
00:24:03,500 --> 00:24:06,633
resulted from his putting his elbow on it.
I told him,
434
00:24:06,700 --> 00:24:09,967
you have absolutely no right
to save a space for your parents.
435
00:24:10,033 --> 00:24:12,367
- I awarding...
- The whole case is malicious.
436
00:24:12,433 --> 00:24:15,567
From what you saw him do,
that's what she did.
437
00:24:15,633 --> 00:24:21,133
She installed a camera, set me up,
lured me in front of the camera.
438
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,633
She knew what she was doing
when she hit me on the hand.
439
00:24:23,700 --> 00:24:25,633
- Oh, she knew.
- Just a second.
440
00:24:25,700 --> 00:24:30,800
Just a second. It's not your judgment
I'm concerned about, madam.
441
00:24:30,867 --> 00:24:34,333
I'm telling you, based upon what I saw,
I'm awarding Mrs. Feugate,
442
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,867
who I think she and her son both have to
understand what a public street is.
443
00:24:37,934 --> 00:24:41,100
I'm awarding her $2,000
on her counterclaim
444
00:24:41,166 --> 00:24:43,567
for her injuries
as a result of the assault.
445
00:24:43,633 --> 00:24:46,300
I'm dismissing the part of your claim
for false arrest.
446
00:24:46,367 --> 00:24:50,767
I awarded you the $500 that you asked for
for your deductible.
447
00:24:50,834 --> 00:24:55,467
You got your $500, it's coming off
the $2,000 that I've awarded Mrs. Feugate
448
00:24:55,533 --> 00:24:58,934
for her injuries. Judgment
on the counterclaim for $1,500.
449
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,567
Thank you very much, we're done.
450
00:25:00,633 --> 00:25:02,266
[bailiff]
This court is adjourned.
451
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,433
{\an8}I wouldn't have never
maliciously pushed anybody.
452
00:25:06,500 --> 00:25:09,333
{\an8}I've been trying to tell this story forever.
453
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,533
{\an8}I didn't know what else she was gonna do.
I was trying to protect myself.
454
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,600
{\an8}It really does harden me that there are
people out there
455
00:25:15,667 --> 00:25:18,400
{\an8}that could go and just do this.
456
00:25:18,467 --> 00:25:21,867
{\an8}I have always been friendly,
I never bother anyone.
457
00:25:21,934 --> 00:25:23,767
{\an8}They keep bothering us.
458
00:25:23,834 --> 00:25:26,300
{\an8}We're really hoping that
this does resolve the issue.
459
00:25:26,367 --> 00:25:29,233
{\an8}I just want them to leave us alone.
460
00:25:29,300 --> 00:25:30,567
{\an8}Bring 'em to Judy Justice.
461
00:25:30,633 --> 00:25:33,433
{\an8}- Because she really does care.
- 'Cause justice will be served.
462
00:25:34,700 --> 00:25:39,133
You wanna know how I know
that the Plaintiff wasn't being truthful
463
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,266
when she said that, I wasn't
being malicious, it was an accident,
464
00:25:42,333 --> 00:25:45,333
I did not push her that hard.
If that had happened to me,
465
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,300
and I was just trying to get
someone away from me,
466
00:25:47,367 --> 00:25:49,734
and that reaction from the Defendant
of falling back.
467
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,834
I thought she almost cracked her head
on the curb.
468
00:25:51,900 --> 00:25:55,400
I would've said, I'm so sorry! Oh,
my goodness! I would've gone down to her,
469
00:25:55,467 --> 00:25:57,800
I didn't mean to push you,
let me help you up.
470
00:25:57,867 --> 00:25:59,967
The Plaintiff just
walked right back to her car.
471
00:26:00,100 --> 00:26:02,266
And you could see her face
almost had a smirk on it.
472
00:26:02,333 --> 00:26:04,734
Just walked right back to her car
like she didn't even care.
473
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,200
And that, to me, says
you knew exactly what you were doing
474
00:26:07,266 --> 00:26:08,600
when you put your hands
on that woman.
475
00:26:08,667 --> 00:26:09,867
Yeah. And I didn't see a slap.
476
00:26:09,934 --> 00:26:12,600
- It could've happened.
