11-16: Deon Rose and William Wood

Today's episode had two cases with rather nice looking plaintiffs...

Deon Rose was suing the Mendoza brothers for putting his picture up in their $1 Store. Apparently, he didn't want to pay $1.50 per cigar while the pre-price said 2 for $1. Ceasar Mendoza who waited on the handsome gent told Judge Judy his "inlish a no goo" so his brother - who owns the store but was not there - testified for him. WTF?

(Sidenote: I was waiting once again for JJ to turn to Byrd and say "Big, big wall...and they're going to build it!")

So it was understood that Mr. Rose threw 33 cents down on the counter and walked off with the cigar - so they called him a shoplifter. With a mix-up of dates, JJ threw the case out - while Mr. Rose maintained his innocence. For some reason, Mr. Rose sued in September even though the incident took place in late December. JJ found it ridiculous (even though you have 3 years to file such a lawsuit).

Hey, if Mr. Rose wants to smoke my cigar - he's welcome any time. And I'll return the favor.

Next up, Mr. William Wood suing his landlord-to-be, a young woman who looked like Miss Piggy (seriously). "Wood" was one of those hot Millennials with the handsome face and fuzzy lumberjack beards. Sure, I would rather he didn't have the beard - but hey, he did deserve his surname. Lotsa wood going on. (He also said his landlord was discriminatory against him when she learned he was a Freemason.)

BTW, he won his security deposit back.

Something was "off" about this case.

Rose seemed reasonable and refined. I find it hard to believe he'd throw 33 cents on the counter (and walk out) -- because he only expected to pay 1 dollar for a cigar, and they were asking for more.

It's such a pittance to make any kind of fuss over.

He said this store was near his house and he went there frequently. They had a photo of him at the counter, obviously upset. Maybe he was drunk or high.

Something was off.....

That first case (the $1 store one) was one of few JJ cases that I actually watched until the very end after a long time. The plaintiff was very annoying, acting like a perfect gentleman, yet he made a huge deal over a freaking dollar.

It wasn't the dollar he made a huge deal over, it was the fact that his picture was up as a 'shoplifter' in a store in his neighborhood, where he was a regular customer. I'd make a huge deal over it, too.

His picture was up as a shoplifter because of the incident over the price of a cigar which happened earlier (whether it was $1.50 per cigar or two for a $1.00). The "shoplifter picture" was taken during the argument over the price of a cigar and the plaintiff looked all upset and angry on that picture.

So he made a huge deal over the price of the cigar, then his picture was posted as a shoplifter. So he pretty much started the big deal.

So once again, he never shoplifted, though that's what the picture erroneously said. He argued with the cashier - that is true.

But if every customer who argued with a cashier, server, hotel clerk, etc had their photo snapped while arguing, and had 'shoplifter' posted underneath, we would live in a very sorry world. I would certainly have my photo hanging up in different places.

Whether he started it or not doesn't matter - the outcome mattered which was his being identified erroneously.

We never knew for sure if he shoplifted or not. Defendants claimed that he threw $.33 before leaving with cigarettes and they had a police report on that. If the plaintiff did that - then in fact he did shoplift.

Really? I thought she was kind of cute.

That was until I put my glasses on. 
