Episode Description from the Publisher

First, the plaintiff has known the defendant for 40 years and says he was just trying to help a friend out. He claims the defendant won’t return an expensive textbook he borrowed or pay the plaintiff back for gas or tobacco either. He is suing the defendant for the money he is owed. The defendant claims he doesn’t have the textbook and doesn’t owe the plaintiff money. He is countersuing because he believes he is owed money for printer repairs and auto supplies. Then, the plaintiff claims the defendant was his ex-roommate, who locked the plaintiff out of their apartment because he has socioeconomic issues. The plaintiff paid the landlord rent for two months he didn’t get to live out, and says the defendant owes him. He is suing for the two months’ rent he paid. The defendant claims the plaintiff is a very difficult person to live with, and that he actually moved out. The defendant says the plaintiff then overpaid for rent and should be going after the landlord. Plus, the plaintiff claims the defendant scratched up her car with a sharp rock. She’s not sure why the defendant would do that, but that there’s even an eyewitness who saw the event. She is suing for repairs to the car. The defendant claims the plaintiff is accusing her son of causing damages, but that it was another child in the neighborhood. She says her son is well behaved and believes his claim that he didn’t do it. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
