The People’s Court Podcast

First, the plaintiff was at the dog park with his dog when the defendant approached him with her dog. The defendant’s dog reportedly grabbed the plaintiff’s dog in its mouth. After the fact, the defendant refused to pay the vet bills for the plaintiff’s dog, so the plaintiff is suing. The defendant argues that both she and the plaintiff are responsible pet owners, and it was impossible to tell which of their well-behaved dogs started the fight. She does not think she owes the plaintiff anything.

Then, the plaintiff rented a two-bedroom home from the defendant and lived there for three years with her grandkids. She left the unit in perfect condition when she moved out but still can’t get her deposit back, so she’s suing. The defendant argues the plaintiff was a nightmare tenant who brought in bed bugs, let the kids hang from the ceiling fan, broke her lease with one week’s notice, and kept the keys to the unit afterward. He is countersuing for additional damages.

Plus, the plaintiff claims that while stopped at a red light, he was rear-ended by the defendant, causing him to rear-end the car in front of him. He claims the defendant lied to the cops about the event, saying she was also rear-ended in the event. The defendant argues that this was true and that the plaintiff had made a deal with her insurance company for a rental car. If they didn’t cash out, it’s not her problem.
