He did better than Ted Binion!
I DVR'ed it, saw that it was going to be on yesterday, didn't think I'd be home in time, naturally inquisitive where it had to do with a 'coin collection'.
After a volatile fight, the plaintiff threw a 'soap bottle' and hit her in the face causing a cut and scar, and defendant claims plastic surgery is needed to remove the scar (none is needed, but she's had work done prior, you could plainly see). She has no insurance, so no hospital visit or bill. No estimate from plastic surgeon because she 'left the estimate from the plastic surgeon at home due to having to hustle out the door'. I don't think the plaintiff said ONE word, seriously, until the 'after' interview.
As for the coins, they were 'spent' for rent. Judge Judy wouldn't even accept an estimate from him, as she said, and I quote, verbatim: "You tell me the coins are worth $5,000, PROBABLY worth a lot less than $5,000, because I don't think you actually have any proof of what you paid for them, that I'm going to believe".
He got $5,000 for his coins, she got $5,000 for his throwing a bottle in her face, in JJ's words, "You both get nothing". Case closed. Not a single word about his coins, except that the defendant took them out of a "little safe", and spent' them (no mention of whether she pawned, sold, etc, and that she (JJ) doesn't believe they were worth $5,000).
edited to correct a few quotation marks.
I found it hilarious that, in the interview afterward, the defendant said "I think she's (JJ) in a bad mood or something (isn't JJ always in a bad mood?). 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back....good thing I recorded it and didn't half to watch the entire show.
If you have a chance to catch it, don't. It was light on details beyond the above summary.
Read and consider that the equivalent of watching it.
