  right to your stuff back? Judge matthis is in the weeds and evicting folks.
• 0:22
  And if you jump off a boat but it moves and it throws you

• 0:48
  It's exactly right. Yeah, I didn't know what to do for mine and
• 0:51
  you started the show and I had not thought of all, so I just
• 0:54
  was said it. Judge matthis is in the weeds and evicting people, which
• 0:58
  neither of those things are true. He does was getting the weeds a little
• 1:00
  bit, but sure he doesn't ask that one personally. Well, tell me
• 1:03
  about it, Dan, I would love for you to tell me about it.
• 1:04
  Thank you so much. I'm wanna let Geno go last as he that's
• 1:08
  what he deserves. But Judge Mathis was here and he was doing it.
• 1:11
  When he's here, he's family. And what's weird about Judge Mathis on the
• 1:15
  YouTube is Judge Mathis. Whoever's running his YouTube account will post just now.
• 1:22
  We'll post just the cases. No commercials with YouTube ads to make money of
• 1:26
  course, and they'll post old ones on the regular, like this one was
• 1:29
  posted fourteen hours ago by Judge Mathis's YouTube channel, and it's like, how
• 1:34
  have we got taken this long for them to understand that's how you make money?
• 1:37
  Yeah, I don't know. I mean, good gracious, I mean
• 1:40
  Judge Gena only has six on his Facebook on his YouTube page. Six.
• 1:44
  That's it. We've covered all the official ones. Thiss one that someone just
• 1:48
  stopped. This was an official one from eight years ago that Mathis posted fourteen
• 1:52
  hours ago. It's nine minutes and thirty four seconds. Is beautiful. I
• 1:56
  love it. All in all done, tell me all about it. So
• 1:57
  let me tell you about Patricia Watts, not Patricia. It's p A.
• 2:01
  T R. E. Cia Patricia Patricia Watts. He's suing her cousin,
• 2:07
  Erica McCrae for three and fifty dollars of unreturned property I went to high school
• 2:14
  with the McCray. It's the same one I coached to McCrae, Ernest McCray,
• 2:17
  Ernest and Erica could be I don't know, you never know. I
• 2:21
  was Amber Finn and Ernest. If you're out there by McCray, Oh,
• 2:23
  I don't know, she could be involved, you never know. Are all
• 2:28
  related? We did it. We did that. We saw the family tree.
• 2:36
  Erica McCrae counter suing for a thousand dollars for defamation of character and lost
• 2:40
  wages. Oh, yes, those are the things. So we start,
• 2:45
  well, now we start with Patricia and she says, listen, Erica is
• 2:50
  my cousin. We have a lot of history. Some of it's good,
• 2:53
  some of it's bad. She's somewhat of a con artist, okay someone yeah,
• 2:59
  I mean, and she's sitting on the day. She's a very very
• 3:01
  manipulative and she can be very very petty. And Mathis is like, what
• 3:06
  do you mean, and she says, she tried to con my mom out
• 3:08
  of a ten dollars pair of shoes. Now we don't get any more information
• 3:13
  about about this particular sting operation where Erica's conning. You know, Patrecia's mom
• 3:22
  out of a ten dollars pair of shoes. We just had to take it
• 3:23
  at face value. And then she said, now, Erica is a hairdresser,
• 3:27
  and she said I went over to help Erica her at her salon and
• 3:31
  said the girl, there's a girl that wanted a style under her hair.
• 3:37
  And Erica lied to her and said she knew how to do it. And
• 3:39
  then Erica immediately walked out of the room and went to YouTube to google how
• 3:44
  to do the hairstyle. Yeah, so everybody's laughing in the courtroom, and
• 3:49
  she says, I walked back there, and I walked back in and convinced
• 3:52
  this girl she wanted a different hairstyle that Erica did know how to do,
• 3:55
  and I saved her. It took nine hours to do this hairstyle. It
• 3:59
  took us too, two days. Erica paid me five dollars. That's all
• 4:02
  she paid me for this. Why it all? Erica is being quiet At
• 4:06
  this point, Mathis goes, how much did she get? Maybe she didn't
• 4:10
  get but ten. You know, classic mathis just a little early stuff to
• 4:15
  get the crowd warmed up. You know how he got oh, I know,
• 4:17
  he warms up pretty quickly. Crowd's laughing, and then Erica goes,
• 4:21
  I actually got thirty, but she owed me twenty. That's what she says.
• 4:26
  She owed me twenty, so I kept the twenty, which still doesn't
• 4:28
  work for it, because technically, if she only got thirty, then Patricia
• 4:32
  she get fifteen. If she owed her twenty, Patricia still ows her five.
• 4:35
  She shouldn't get anything that's neither here nor there. We're not going to
• 4:38
  get into math details. Mathis says, ma'am, what do you have to
• 4:42
  say about all these connish ways? And then Erica says, first of all,
• 4:46
  she's lying. Second of all, Patricia is so insecure about herself.
• 4:50
  And I want to let your audience know to hold your husbands by your sides
• 4:56
  because she'll come and take them. Okay, want to let your audience know,
• 5:00
  Judge matthis, if you have anyone in the crowd that is married,
• 5:04
  and they're both here and one of them is a husband, hold them close
• 5:09
  to their close because she will come and take That's right. And then she
• 5:12
  said, and she's liable to come in your purse and steal a piece of
• 5:15
  candy. And now I don't understand this line, and I rewound it at
• 5:18
  this point. Wait, she's just going into people's purses and taking their candy,
• 5:23
  That's what she says. But why she says that. Now, if
• 5:27
  you I rewounded to make sure I got it right, you'll be the judge.
• 5:30
  She's liable to come in and steal your purse and steal a piece of
• 5:34
  candy, because if she ain't eating, she's keeping up confusion. Yeah,
• 5:42
  no, I know she got it. You got it. Yes, So
• 5:44
  if she ain't eating, she's keeping up confusion, you know what I mean?
• 5:46
  She so she is, she likes to spread some stuff. She likes
• 5:53
  to she's she sews confusion if you will. But if if she if she's
• 5:57
  eating, she can't sold, you let her steal them in you would let
• 6:00
  her, yay. So the problem is not that she's stealing them. There's
• 6:04
  not enough men, it's out. And at this point Mathis is the crowd's
• 6:09
  laughing, and matthis is like, I gotta get in on this, and
• 6:13
  so he's like, so she's a triple threat. Huh candy, purse and
• 6:15
  your husband. Crowd loves that. Long in the matthis Chambers and then we
• 6:20
  go back to Patrice steal to Persa. She just steals the key. Yeah,
• 6:24
  I know and we not. Once again, Mathis it's an oversight for
• 6:27
  a joke, and he he commits to the bit. We can break it
• 6:30
  down later. Patricia said, yeah, that's right. Mathis is like,
• 6:34
  all right, Patricia said, tell me what happened, and so we've not
• 6:36
  actually gotten to the case. Shit, tell me what happened, Paterca says,
• 6:40
  okay. In July, I moved in. Erica let me move in
• 6:44
  with my three year old daughter, and I moved in with her, and
• 6:46
  that was very nice of her. In January of the following year, I
• 6:49
  went downstairs to our neighbor's house to use her phone. I don't know why
• 6:55
  she went down to use her phone. Apparently she didn't have one, I
• 6:58
  don't know. It was her neighbor's small While I'm on my neighbor's smartphone,
• 7:02
  I saw a text message saying that her and her boyfriend were planning to steal
• 7:06
  my vehicle. Now, so, just to paint the picture, Erica goes
• 7:12
  downstairs, neighbor, let me use your cell phone. While she's on the
• 7:15
  phone, she's looking through her text messages with her neighbor and her neighbor's boyfriend,
• 7:19
  and they are conspiring on this text thread to steal Erica's vehicle. So
• 7:27
  she doesn't provide any proof of that, but she says that happens, and
• 7:31
  she said, I was really angry, but I didn't react right away.
• 7:33
  I left. I took a few days, and I went and talked to
• 7:36
  my pastor. Now at this point, the crowd is gu falling now really
• 7:42
  quick? Did she think that she was planning to steal the Why was she
• 7:46
  looking through her text messages? I don't know. Everyone's fine with this,
• 7:49
  yes, okay, yeah, well we'll get there in a second. So
• 7:54
  she said, I got to go talk to my pastor, you know,
• 7:56
  to calm down so I wouldn't go off the handle on her. People in
• 8:00
  the back are laughing hysterically. She had to go to her pastor. It
• 8:03
  was great. So she goes, that was Thursday. I went to my
• 8:05
  pastor on Sunday. Sunday. When I got home, Erica and I together
• 8:09
  asked the neighbor to come up, and we confronted the neighbor and she did
• 8:13
  not deny that that's what was happening. And I have a video to show
• 8:16
  you, And this video is Erica or Patricia just screaming at this incredibly tiny
• 8:24
  woman, and every word is bleeped out. I cannot understand. I can't
• 8:28
  make her heads or tails of anything being said because eighty percent of it is
• 8:33
  beep. This is post pastor, matthis is with you. Mathus jumps in
• 8:39
  and says, your preacher tell you to say all it's a big laugh.
• 8:43
  That's good stuff. Patreesa's like, look, I didn't touch her. I
• 8:46
  didn't touch her. I went to the pastor. I didn't touch her.
• 8:50
  I thought I deserve some credit for that. And that girl is literally a
• 8:52
  size zero. I could really hurt her. Yeah, that's yeah. So
• 8:56
  Patricia says, to make sure that this woman doesn't steal her car, she
• 9:05
  calls DSFS, which I assume is DSS but in a different state. That's
• 9:11
  the only thing I can assume DSFS on the neighbor because she didn't take care
• 9:15
  of her kids. They sleep on the floor, they sleep in car seats,
• 9:18
  So I called on her. Now I don't know if that's true or
• 9:22
  not, but she says she called her to make sure that they took her
• 9:24
  kids. So she's like, you're gonna steal my car? DSFS is taking
• 9:28
  your kids? Yeah, it's getting a little off the rail. So Erica,
• 9:33
  where does Erica come in, because Patrecia is just living there. Erica
• 9:37
  gets really mad that she calls DSFS. Why does Erica get mad that she
• 9:41
  called DSFS because both Patricia and Erica smothe, smoke, weed, and drink
• 9:46
  in the home with their children in the home. Okay, so Erica is
• 9:52
  like, why'd you do that? They can come and take our kids as
• 9:54
  well. What are you doing? You're endangering our kids by calling DSFS,
• 10:00
  and I, Pateresa says, I explained to Erica, they're not coming to
• 10:03
  take our kids. We not ratchet. Yeah, we smoke and drink,
• 10:09
  but we don't do it in front of our kids. Our kids eat every
• 10:11
  meal, they sleep in a bed, they live their best life. We
• 10:15
  do that on our own time, never in front of our kids. We
• 10:16
  don't have anything to worry about. Absolutely, this is what this is not
• 10:20
  what the neighbor is doing. We take care of our kids. We don't
• 10:24
  have anything to worry about. But Erica was still mad. She told me
• 10:26
  she didn't want me. She want that heat in her house. That's what
• 10:30
  she didn't want that heat at her house. And so I'm not on the
• 10:31
  lease, so I had to leave. I left. I pat one bat
• 10:35
  tree in my baby. Patricia left, I went to my grandma's house.
• 10:39
  So after I did that, I called her numerous times to get the rest
• 10:43
  of my stuff. I like thirty five hundred dollars worth of things. I
• 10:46
  got pictures of all the things. Erica keeps telling me she doesn't want me
• 10:50
  at the house. I keep trying. I tried in January, February March,
• 10:54
  two and a half months. She's dodging me. In March, I
• 10:56
  go over to the house from I still have my key. Life have been
• 11:00
  changed. I can't get in. I talked to a neighbor, a different
• 11:03
  neighbor, I'm sure, and the neighbor says that Erica doesn't live there anymore.
• 11:07
  Still, to this day, I don't know where Erica lives. I
• 11:11
  can't get my stuff back. I have pictures of everything. Mathis is looking
• 11:15
  at the pictures. How they get her in court, it's a great well,
• 11:18
  I don't know how they got her in court. That's a great question.
• 11:20
  Well, Eric, She goes, all right, Uh, Erica,
• 11:24
  what do you got to say for all this? She says, First of
• 11:26
  all, she's lying. I have a text message from August she left in
• 11:30
  January. I have a text message from August that says she's forgotten her stuff.
• 11:35
  It's seven months later. I moved, there was nowhere I could put
• 11:39
  the stuff. There's nothing I can do about that. Mathis says, let
• 11:43
  me see that text that means I've forgotten my stuff. Mathis says, let
• 11:46
  me see that text message. So he sees that it's dated in August,
• 11:50
  and then he does a dramatic reading of the text message in a voice.
• 11:54
  He does a bit oh my. He says this, Oh my god,
• 11:58
  cousin I have. I'm I'm sorry. I haven't come and got my things
• 12:01
  yet. That's what the text says. I see, Oh my god,
• 12:03
  cousin, I'm sorry. She looks at He looks at Patresian goes, you're
• 12:09
  seven months out and you're apologizing to her that you haven't come and gotten your
• 12:16
  things yet. Makes it seem as if Eric at some point was like,
• 12:18
  hey, cut right your stock. We don't see any other text message.
• 12:20
  So then he says, Erica, what's this countersuit about. She says,
• 12:24
  she's defaming my name and slamming my name and calling me all kinds of things.
• 12:28
  Okay, well, what is she calling you? Well, she's calling
• 12:31
  me like a bomb and stuff, saying I don't do good hair. Mathis
• 12:35
  is like, okay, and then that's the end of that conversation. He
• 12:39
  goes, what about this loss of wages? She goes, I'm suing for
• 12:41
  the two days that I had to take off to come to this court appearance.
• 12:45
  No, it's fair yesterday and the day, and I make one hundred
• 12:48
  and seventy five dollars a day, so that's three hundred and fifty dollars.
• 12:50
  That's what it is. H Mathus is ready to rule. Boy, I
• 12:56
  don't think uh, I mean, I think the only person might get money
• 13:01
  is Erica the loss of wages maybe maybe yeah, but I'm gonna go both
• 13:07
  of them don't get anything. Mathis gives her the loss of ways. Yeah.
• 13:09
  He looks at Patricia and he goes, yeah, you said she is
• 13:13
  the con artist. You're the con artist. You haven't known what you need
• 13:16
  to do. He looks at her and he says, defamation of character,
• 13:18
  that's just gossip. You don't even have any proof of it. This,
• 13:20
  but wages, absolutely, you had to come and do this for two days,
• 13:24
  absolutely, three hundred and fifty in your favor. Then Afterwards, they
• 13:26
  keep the camera rolling and the two are still there and Erica everything's quiet.
• 13:31
  It looked. She thinks the camera's off and she goes, I told you,
• 13:35
  I told you I was gonna get you back. And then she says,
• 13:37
  you can't out slick the slickster. She said, you can't out slip.
• 13:46
  I'm a snowman. Yeah right, Wow, you can't out slick the
• 13:50
  slickster. My mama taught me real well, you can't do a person like
• 13:54
  that when you wrong. That was it. That's the case. Can't out
• 13:58
  slick. You can't slick the slick And that's true. I love it.
• 14:01
  I saw I was right. I mean I said none, but I said
• 14:03
  if anything, So that goes to show you always ask for lost wages.
• 14:09
  You never know, you never know, you never know. How bath is
• 14:13
  this feeling? Well, what's great is when she said one seventy five a
• 14:16
  day he goes hair dresser. That sounds right. I'll give it to you.
• 14:18
  He didn't ask for any like w two Lord, unbelievable personal injury court
• 14:24
  time, Judge Gino, you know him, the legal sauce. I want
• 14:28
  to introduce you to a plaintiff. His name is Orlando. Well, last
• 14:31
  name, first day, Mark, Mark Orlando. Uh, he's suing miss
• 14:37
  Martin. What's her name? Nancy Martin for seventy five thousand for past medical
• 14:43
  expensive, twenty thousand for future medical expensive, three hundred thousand and four paint
• 14:48
  and suffering three ninety five total. A low day of the personal injury court
• 14:54
  work. And he's suing because he got hurt some injury court situation. So
• 15:01
  Mark Orlando, really he did. So Mark Orlando is in the courtroom with
• 15:05
  his wife Nicole. Every year they go on a big trip with their best
• 15:11
  friends from college. They have some really good friends that they met in college.
• 15:15
  Every year they go on this trip. They love it. It's a
• 15:16
  lot of fun. This year, they're looking to find a boat to go
• 15:20
  out on to go fishing. You know, fishing, Dad, Oh,
• 15:24
  no, one knows fishing more than you. And so they find Nancy Martin.
• 15:30
  Nancy Martin has a boat. She takes people out. That's her deal.
• 15:33
  Now. Nancy was in the Navy for twenty two years. Thank you
• 15:37
  for your service. And she learned everything she knows about boats in the Navy.
• 15:41
  But she learned everything she knows about fishing from her paw so after retiring,
• 15:46
  she knew she wanted to combine those two loves and open a charter fisher
• 15:52
  fishing company basically, so she takes people out to go fishing. Now,
• 15:56
  Orlando says, you know, it was a great so far, and I
• 16:00
  was feeling pretty good towards the end of the day. I just caught a
• 16:03
  big fish. I'm loving life. It's wonderful. And they get close to
• 16:10
  the dock and he says that Nancy said welcome home, which he took as
• 16:17
  time to get off the boat. She said welcome home. She said welcome
• 16:19
  home. Now he took time to get off. Now, he did find
• 16:26
  a little bit odd. There was an eighteen inch gap in between the boat
• 16:30
  and the dock. But he said, I can clear it. It's odd
• 16:33
  that she would say welcome home. It is odd that she would and a
• 16:37
  half he should be able to clear it, and he would have cleared it
• 16:41
  except for the fact that right as he was jumping, Nancy slammed it into
• 16:45
  reverse and causing him to lose his footing and jump and land tummy first on
• 16:55
  the pylon. The sideboy there he slid down in the water, has to
• 17:02
  get out on his own on his own way. But it was a scary
• 17:04
  situation. Nicole says, I thought he was dying. So Nancy says,
• 17:11
  I I heard someone say man overboard. I stopped a boat. I run
• 17:18
  down, I see what's going on. My first mate takes over the boat.
• 17:21
  I was very concerned at the moment, And Nicole says, you weren't
• 17:23
  even remotely concerned. You took your time. So there he goes, and
• 17:30
  she's like, I had to watch my husband struggle for his life. I
• 17:33
  couldn't help him. I felt so so helpless, blah blah blah. So
• 17:37
  Nancy's like, oh please, I watched him climb out the doc just fine,
• 17:41
  he said, I'm fine. It was nothing to worry about. So
• 17:47
  Nancy says, listen, when any whenever anybody gets on my boat, I
• 17:52
  send him down and I go through the rules. I have a few rules,
• 17:55
  like, you know, don't drink, stay seed while the boat's moving,
• 17:57
  don't stand up until I hide the rope on the dock. These are
• 18:00
  the rules that I go through. It say that. Orlando says, I
• 18:03
  don't remember hearing any of them. My gosh, Gino says, do you
• 18:08
  have common sense to not stand up when the boat's moving and he's like,
• 18:12
  of course I do. But she said, well, come welcome home.
• 18:15
  I don't know what else we need. That's it, that's proving up.
• 18:18
  Nancy says that he didn't follow the rules. We didn't say that we are
• 18:25
  docked. We didn't sign the thing, we didn't do the rope, so
• 18:29
  he should have known not to get up. They also signed a waiver saying
• 18:33
  that they would obey the rules. Orlando says, I didn't sign the waiver.
• 18:37
  We see his signature, he says, he says, he says,
• 18:42
  not my signature. My wife signed for me. Oh my gosh, Oh
• 18:49
  my gosh. Zero dollars dollars. Nichole says that the he made it to
• 19:00
  where like. Nicole says that the injury made it to where we like,
• 19:03
  he couldn't provide for the family. He's really struggling. We find out he
• 19:10
  has had a few broken ribs, collapsed lung, very various cuts, et
• 19:15
  cetera. They bring in a doctor who basically says, yes, that's bad.
• 19:19
  Orlando says that Nancy was reckless while driving the boat. Now here's where
• 19:25
  things get interesting. I can't imagine. They bring in some evidence that shows
• 19:30
  that Nancy has a pass of reckless driving. We bring in a couple of
• 19:37
  tickets that shows her speeding and a ticket for reckless driving of the boat.
• 19:41
  Both of those are boat related tickets. Okay, Nancy says, in both
• 19:47
