This took place in the city/state of: Los Angeles, CA
Where to start, well i was being sued by my ex-gf for the amount of 4,321 for unpaid rent and a 2,500 loan. As soon as the lawsuit was filed in our VA court, the show "Judge Joe Brown" called her and offered for us both to be on the show.
They said they would pay the decision of the arbitration(the 4.3k) plus give us an apperance fee and a full expense paid to L.A for 3 days including food taxis etc. Everything was going well until we went into studio. They asked me to lie(I was the defendant) about my story and i told them i wouldn't.
Side Story: I have been on probation 6 years and never broken it once, and have cleaned up my life.
Back to the Real Story: We get into the "courtroom" and the judge wont let me speak, he hears her side of everything, then says its my turn, upon opening my mouth he immediately shoots me down, when i raise my voice louder than his he raises his louder, its quicky turns into a big shout battle which i finally get the picture that he's not gonna let me talk so i shut up and just give up cause they are paying us and I dont want to ruin the opportunity to be rid of my ex-gf's lawsuit.
Anyway, he picks up a stack of paper which he points out if my driving record and criminal record. And its HUGE, i mean HUGE, bigger than the actual one(yes i know what mine looks like), and immediately starts pointing out things that are false, reading off my charges and driving history...
He goes as follows:
3 accounts breaking and entering(i only have 1)
8 accounts grand larceny(i only have 1)
3 probation violations(i have 0)
MANSLAUGHTER(wtf? when did i kill someone)
Conspiracy
Burglary
4 Assault and Causing bodily harm(i have none)
The case goes on im getting more and more mad i start saying there is no manslaughter or half the crap you just said man... He goes on to call me a lier and say that I am the worst possible scum on the face of the earth, beats his hammer and says she wins.
This was the most embarrasing day of my life... 300 people in a room(some paid actors some directors camera men etc.) all laughing at me because the judge "owned me" and im a horrible guy obviously and a murderer...
It hasn't aired yet, and im not sure if i have a case until it does air. I believe i do have a case if it airs, but my question is both, do i have a case if it airs? and do i have case if it doesn't air?
Ive been googling around and it seems he has a long history of people being mad after going on that show... as well as 1 lawsuit for 7,500 because he told a guy he was using money to buy a prostitute when he wasn't.
Thanks for listening, and sorry for the wall-of-text.
