Taking it Out on a Car

The plaintiff brings his ex-girlfriend to court. He argues they got into a big fight at a party, and the defendant started beating his car with a stick. The defendant called the police and claimed he beat her, so he got arrested. He’s suing for bail, wrongful arrest, missing work, and car damages. The defendant says the plaintiff attacked her. She admits she hit the plaintiff’s car with a stick, but the damages aren’t as bad as he claims. Then, the plaintiff used to be close friends with the defendant. She says she loaned him money to help pay for child support backpay, but he hasn’t repaid her, so she’s suing. The defendant argues they were actually dating at the time. He says he already paid her back in full, so he isn’t sure why he’s even in court. Don’t forget to rate and subscribe so you never miss an episode. Learn more about your ad choices.
