Car salesman Shane Grant (10-28) : "You're an a-hole !" LOL

Wow, on Thursday we were treated to eye-candy Chorlando Peoples, and on Friday we were treated to Shane Grant, the blue-eyed car salesman. I guess Judge Judy was keeping the sexy guys for November sweeps? (Side note- as sexy as Shane was, he needed to lose the 'Rocky Balboa' monotone talk, as that was a big turn-off).

Shane Grant was the car salesman who accepted a 'settlement' check from the defendant (a tattooed Tabatha Coffey wanna-be), for a deposit on a new car. It was a little murky in the beginning, but then Judge Judy put two and two together and came up with "insurance fraud" and "grand larceny" on the part of the defendant.

Poor defendant broke down in tears because she's a single mom who never meant to defraud anyone - it was all just a misunderstanding. Please don't file a police report on her!

Judge Judy didn't care - she promised Shane they would give him a 'tape' of this show, so he can 'go to the marshall' and anyone else who's interested in pressing grand larceny charges against the defendant. To which a teary-eyed defendant turned to Shane and mouthed "You're an a$$hole!" Good catch for the camera-man!

The other option was for the defendant to return the car back to the dealership (where Shane was fired from over this ordeal), and he didn't have to file charges against her. Quickly, she took that option.

Poor Shane needed some comforting after the trial, and I was ready to comfort him....if only he asked me (or knew I existed!).

As for the defendant, well...she cried in the hall interview because she needs a car as a single mother.

He was very cute but at age 32 he looked like he'd been around the block a few times.

He sure did!

This is true - but part of his charm. That with the Rocky Balboa speech pattern kind of made him sexy, though I was tired of the Rocky talk.

Not that I support fraud, but its actually nice to see that the used car salesman was the one who was scammed for once.

I was going to post a thread alluding to his Sylvester Stallone impression. The defendant looked real trashy. She kind of resembled Brigitte Nielsen on an extremely bad day. Of course, Brigitte Nielsen was (briefly) married to Sylvester Stallone, so that is what made this case so amusing for me.

Brigitte Nielsen

Yes! I was torn between her and Tabatha Coffey.

Never heard of Tabitha Coffey, so I looked her. Either way, the defendant looks like 10 miles of bad road.

And how come never asked her how she supported herself? I don't recall how old she is, but wouldn't Judge Judy find it ridonkulous that at her age she doesn't have a bank account? You just know that she is getting government assistance (those crappy chest tattoos aren't free), so she either gets a paper check or direct deposit. Or, why didn't she take that Farmer's Insurance check to a local branch that it was drawn on, and cash it there? So many questions, so little answers.

Excellent points! JJ was too lenient with her.

I believe in the beginning they said she was 34. She looked at least 10-12 years older.
