@@Spankmepinkthis comment never said he was! The watch was stolen the smile on his face says a lot! He stole that watch your brother is like a father to you but you don’t have his number saved or don’t know where he is? I believe he still it and is throwing his brother under the bus
She comes across as very credible, and her son didn't seem coached. Word vs word cases with no concrete proof tend to favor the defendant on judge Judy, but I think the indicators of Truth swayed things
@ what’s wrong with a 13 yr old having a sleepover? Child molestors, all kinds of things can go on outside of your roof. The kid went to a sleepover and now the poor mother is in court smh
I knew it was stolen from episode 1. He first said his daughter was messing with it. Then told the plantiff his brother took it? I think he stole it and split the cash with his brother. Also lesson learn dont get your kids expensive items if they arent responsible.
It’s okay to buy nice things for your children. I had parents who occasionally rewarded us with nice things but whenever we left, said things were to be left at home for safety reasons.
His daughter is five. Seems like if he saw her playing with an expensive watch he had to know wasn’t hers, he would have taken it from her immediately.
People like you are the ones who give others life sentences(or any time locked up)when there's clearly resonable doubt AND you want him to pay for his brother's "crime". What if the ruling included time, he should go to prison and then sue his brother later? I know the show pays, but the law is the law. Everyone should pay for their own crimes
As I understand it, the show pays the judgments out, not the plaintiffs or defendants. So JJ didn’t want the defendant or his brother getting off easy.
I wish the judge called him out for being a liar. No sober + sane person would believe someone doesent have the contact info of someone who is " like a father " to him.
She definitely did know, she just couldn’t hold the defendant accountable for the actions of his brother. It was only when I got to part 3 that I was absolutely sure the plaintiff knew what she was talking about and was telling the truth.
The defendant is such a liar... I don't know where my brother is. I don't have my brother's number. Oops. .. thats' a friend... oh there's a number saved under the name and big brother. This man just spoiled a friendship for nothing.
I disagree with JJ. If the item was stolen from the defendant's house then he should be responsible for it. He then has the burden of getting it back from his brother who stole it. JJ didn't want to make that judgement because she and her team would have to pay out. Love her show but she needs to be more consistent on her ruling.
No, it’s not because the show would have to pay for it. Legally, he’s not responsible. A crime was committed and even though he knows and is related to the person and it took place in his house, that actually doesn’t make him legally responsible. I would have loved to see this guy have to pay too and I think so would JJ, but she has to follow the rule of law, even when she doesn’t like it. I hate that about this profession.
Unfortunately without a witness or evidence, her saying that he said his brother stole it (which is often considered hearsay and something JJ usually says), there's not much JJ can do. If he told her that his brother took it, she should have reported it, not sue the defendant.
@@jedimasters1462 It’s not hearsay when it’s a statement by a party opponent. The defendant is the one who told the plaintiff his brother stole it. That’s admissible. The problem is the plaintiff should have sued the brother, not the defendant. The plaintiff was operating under the misconception that the defendant would be liable because it happened when the watch was at his house. That’s not true because a crime was committed. If the brother was a minor under the defendant’s control, it would be a different story, that’s why she asked his age. A full-grown adult thief committed the crime so he is the one who has to be sued in order to recover damages under the law.
It’s exactly the same as if you stay at a hotel and you miss something and the hotel says “we’re sorry we couldn’t find it” you can’t sue them if you have no proof. He’s not responsible
What a piece of crap to steal this kid's watch. Then this guy lies in court saying he didn't have the #, then the bailiff sees it in the phone. That's messed up! You can't trust people.
She probably didn't think negatively about him until he started acting up, lying and covering for his thieving brother. Besides she was friends with the defendants girlfriend, not him
Wow. I hope the boys can still be friends, but DO NOT let that cute little boy go over to the defendant's house with ANYTHING of VALUE. I know kids (and adults) like to show off their cool stuff, but he cannot do that at the def's house.
“As u can see judge her story is all over the place “ says the person who lied about having his brother’s number thats actually saved in his phone as “big brother stevie” dumb dumb😂if anything her story was on track and she seemed to b very honest and her son too. He was prolly drunk at that baby shower and blabbering telling in himself
I hope she got a resolution to this case AND she's more sensible about what she gives her young son. Things happen when kids have expensive things around certain types 👀
He is very shameful he knew his brother stole that watch the whole time when judge Judy asked who all lived in the house and a big brother came up that was it after that😂😂😂
I hope this mother realizes that a 13 year old kid doesn’t need an Apple Watch. Heck, zi almost 70 and I won’t buy one for myself! Mom is lucky some older kids didn’t jump him and steal it. By the way, did it not have “find my device” set up?
UNDERRATED COMMENT!!! When I was that age, I lost almost everything that wasn't nailed down in my room. And the ONLY reason I can think of to give my son an Apple Watch, is to USE the FIND MY SON feature.
I don't believe the defendant one second. Proven liar covering up for his thief of a brother. But I'm very confused as to why the plaintiff changed her story. If he told her that he brother stole the watch, why make such a show about "oh if he'd lost something at my house I would replace it"? She is probably telling the truth, I do believe she is, but she doesn't appear credible.
Ugh, I can’t stand the defendants little smirk-acting like he’s in a photoshoot. And those braids? Giving very much ‘I did it, but you can’t prove it’s vibes.
Second case I’ve seen where parents get their young kids something very expensive that can be lost or stolen. Why on earth?! The last case was the $400 earrings! Similar scenario. I could get a new washing machine for that! Just about 😂🙄
I believe mom's statement about what the defendant said about his thieving brother. However, she was stupid for buying an expensive watch for a child. Ridiculousssssssssssssss!
I think she didn't want to have to mention the brothers involvement out of a misplaced respect for their friendship but she had to when she realised it was the only hope of winning
I believe her. JJ is biased against unemployed people and I don’t blame her!!!! Sounds like she wouldn’t have even known he had a ‘brother’ until he said so at the baby shower.
First she says in part one they are like family, friends for years,, now that she is losing suddenly she is saying the defendant whom she trusted to take care of her son over night, is a known thief. She is making crap up as she goes. Nor can Judy just order this defendant to turn his phone over to her. Sometimes she goes too far. What proof Judy? He didn't admit anything on tape. He said on this tape his brother had nothing to do with it, and her saying the opposite is hearsay. She has no case.
So he doesn't have his brother's phone number saved , who he says is like a father figure to him 😂
Judge Judy is known for many things; stupidity is definitely not one of them.
Totally forgot he said that
But bird then found the number. So he had the saved number of his "father figure". Shady shady super shady.
LmmFaSsO hahahaha why your comment tickled me soo much 😅😂🤣😭
Came to say the same. If he’s a father figure, you are close and you’ll have his number. What a father figure 🙄

Yeah, but who said father figure in good meaning of that word?😂😂
His father figure is living with him, his girlfriend, and two children in an apartment
He was just covering for his dad 😂

No honor amongst thieves

Yep, I bet this poor lady didn’t see a dime.

You don’t ever, ever, ever send your kid to a friends house for the weekend. Especially with a valuable item
When I was a in that age group, I lost almost everything that was given to me. Giving a 13 year old an Apple Watch is just asking for it to be lost.
Wtf is the problem with a 13 yo having a sleepover? Yeah don't send them with anything valuable but how overprotective can you be?
@ what’s wrong with a 13 yr old having a sleepover? Child molestors, all kinds of things can go on outside of your roof.
The kid went to a sleepover and now the poor mother is in court smh
The valuable "item" would be the child ❤
Right, he also took his PlayStation with him, SMH!
As I get older in understand more and more why my parents didn’t allow us to sleep over at peoples homes
I used to go to sleepovers, but when I do have children, they are not going to sleepovers at all

She called him a thief on national television, pretty sure the friendship is over.

He told her that not thinking it would get this far but she wouldn’t have known the brother was there any other way
💯
If she thinks so little of him WHY did she allow her son to spend the weekend?????
Good catch!
bc that has nothing to do with the KIDS. You don't bring adult beef around your children they are allowed to be friends

Exactly! Called the defendant a thief too. Poor parenting letting a 13 year old go around him.
Probably dont want to hurt her kid who likes his friend. If anything, let the friend come over at their home. I wouldnt send him over there no more.
Oh the brother definitely stole that watch. I could tell by the look on his face
Sad thing is the parents are probably preventing the kids from being friends over something the brother may have done.
That brother stole the watch & sold it 🫤
Infuriating defendant. Lies to JJ. No shame at all. Wipe that smirk off your damn face! JJ hated him too!
He’s a thief?
