Messing Up a Memorial Video
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The plaintiff says she’s the mother of twin sons, and one of them died of a rare form of cancer at age 27. She says she paid the defendant to make a video about him, but the quality was poor, so she’s suing for breach of contract, event space, and distress. The defendant says he loved the plaintiff’s son, and he insists he did everything he was paid to do and he owes nothing
So glad to see the defendant remain respectful.
Yes he did,
He win
She’s still grieving 😢 this is sad. She is absolutely taking this out on him
It seems like she needs to unleash her anger on someone, and he's the target.
That sums it up very well.
Exactly! 😢
He handled his composure very well and respectfully..
I actually followed her son's story on Facebook. It truly touched my heart as a cancer survivor myself. I can't imagine losing my son to this disease.
I'm glad you're ok 🙏❤
I’m so glad you’re still here! 😊
@@CharisToTheWheeler thank you so much ❤️
@@christiana5552 I greatly appreciate that 🥰
@Polo Droent you are just despicable with this hurtful comment. Leave, go away
So sad. I had the same rare cancer when I was 19 called soft tissue sarcoma. I was also pregnant with one of my daughters at the time. Fortunately I survived and am now 37 years of age. I am so sorry for the loss of her son. 🙏🏽I wish we could have seen the entire video though. Idk what to think about the outcome of the case.
Let me just say God has a calling on your life may your days be filled with love and light 🙏🏿
💋Blessings my dear
God bless you
❤
Thanks for sharing your story! I’m so glad 😀 you’re here to tell us all. I hope you have a wonderful fulfilling life.
Mommy I know your heart & soul is broken but you need to put that anger into a rightful place. Take that anger and put it into fighting cancer on brhalf of others! Prayers Up Mommy 🌹
Exactly
Yes
Yes 🙌🏽
Best comment so far
@@andrejamal5438 Thank You 🌟
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this case.
Mood
I agree with JM's decision in this case. To say that he "stole her child's memory " was a far stretch. I understand that people grieve differently. However, some like the space they are in and the sympathy they get for losing a loved one, as is the case with this mom. She's already made money off the son's death. Now, she wants to watch the funeral over and over again. While the video may not be quality, he's not responsible for her grief. Mom should have known better to have supporting documentation with irrifutable facts. I'm sorry for the circumstances.
I feel bad for this grieving mother, but I feel even worse for this guy she is stomping all over in the name of grief!
So glad he remains respectful. Anyone else would be irritated. What an amazing young man! 🙌
Lord bless her heart. My twin boys will be one next month. I couldn’t imagine. 💔
@MsNickie it’s definitely a challenge, overwhelming at times. Something like this makes me remember to be grateful.
@@HARRIS4276 My twin boys turned 4 this year. This was sad and the judge seemed a bit insensitive
So sad for her son. But I’m just trying to figure out what he did wrong? Of course there were gonna be people in the video she didn’t know. You don’t know every single person your son was around.
He’s handling this well. She’s hurting and very vulnerable but he did nothing wrong. 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️🩹❤️ praying for her
"THERE WERE PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO THAT I DIDN'T KNOW". WELL I'M QUITE SURE YOUR SON HAD FRIENDS THAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW. SMH
she should've watched the video before paying him for it
The Judge doesn't have much patience for this case.
She was emotional and I think she was unreasonable because of her emotions. I would have ruled the same. Wish her all the peace.
She did try to mislead judge when mentioning the videoing of the funeral. That’s when she started to talk during the video and he kept telling her to hush. She got a lot of money and probably spent through it like water.
She was lying and being unreasonable. She can't remember the date, deadline, terms of the contract. Sound like she made it up along the way. She has misplaced anger. And why she don't have footage of her own son?
She couldn't present or articulate her case well enough at all...her emotions got in the way..understandably...
She's petty
@@theredwhoop9372 you sound heartless
@@theredwhoop9372 she was hungry. she was getting mixed up cuz she was thinking bout lunch.
Yes, we as black people act on emotions.
In which case who’s to say what the agreement was. Was emotionally together enough to articulate this to him or does she even remember correctly
As a twin myself I couldn't deal with losing my twin!! May God bless them ALL! 🙄🙏🏾🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I think that this is a case of miscommunication. I may be wrong, but I think that she was expecting allll of his footage to be in this 5-minute video, and because she didn't see it all, she assumed that he wasn't going to give it to her. He kept saying, "I have the footage." She should have said, "Can I have it?"
That video for $600/ $900? WOW... She deserve some money back for sure
Defendant: Who wants to play it?
JM: Whoooo wAassss to play the video that you created 😂😂😂😂😂
This was a strange one, almost like she's been and is trying to capitalize on her own son's passing
Capitalize…? Or she just want perfect last memories of her son.
She should have viewed the full video before the actual showing. Also give that woman all the footage ya have sir. Just give it to her
She hurt and lashed out. She should have viewed the video ahead of time to Allow for edits. And identifies specific clips she wanted to be included. Seriously with technology now, someone in the family could have done this. If she wanted all the videos he had of her son when he was making music she should have asked for that.
She did admit they did editing and reviewing a month b4 !! that’s why I’m like what she lashing out for lol
She mis-spoke saying funeral. But a lot of “people,” refer to every event held due to the funeral as the funeral. Which is what I believe she was referencing.
Exactly!
Yessss I feel like Judge Mathis was a real ass in this case!!! He just wanted to dismiss her case.
Precision, he does this to everyone! Ppl lie all the time.
that's definitely not where she was coming from..
n that was not what u call a funeral.
u don't refer to a repass as the funeral as well, or do u?
@@QS0924 comprehension, “some people” do. And I’ve heard several ppl who do. If you’re different, great. But that was my take. I don’t think this is a competition.
Definitely understand why she’s acting this way but she’s so emotional she’s not listening. And I’m positive she doesn’t remember what was agreed upon because of it
So sad that she lost her son. I think Judge Mathis was right
I will never understand people hiring others that don't have that much experience in something as in photography or videographing for parties, weddings, funerals etc etc and expect the best especially a friend of the family! seems like one would want to pay more money from someone whose much more experienced and have years under their belt.. then run to court!
See now it's super pissed at him and everything is his fault because she doesn't have memories of her child!!💔😩
YOU MAKE ME LAUGH I SAID THE SAME THING QUEEN GREAT 👍 MINDS THINK LIKEMINDED
@@youmakemelaugh1797 how does she not have memories of her child? Did she hit her head in a gruesome accident? She raised him, she has all the memories of him. The lady isn’t upset about not having the footage she wanted, she’s upset because she couldn’t get her money back. All she had to do was ask him to send her all the footage and she’ll take the footage to a PROFESSIONAL video editor to get the type of video she wanted.
I’ll this as a videographer myself when you’re asking for footage shot of her someone with little to no purpose behind it it’s hard making a video out of it. She’s talking about “it’s out of focus” but maybe that’s just what he got from your son. Ppl believe this stuff is very easy and it’s not
@@SuperBRIANWILSON I definitely agree with you! I had a video made and when we sat down the videographer was honest and used his professional opinion and said it’s not going to come out how i imagine. lol he was right but he still got paid.
This kind of emotional Case with dealing with Loss should've been handled by Judge Judy
Hard but if she wanted professional quality for something so serious then she should have paid. I get it, but her pain seems to be impacting her rationale...sad.
$900 for a 4 minute video?? And that was the video??
Rip off
Sadly its why many Black Folks are having hard time supporting our own people. Many of them are all about Money, Period. Not Love.
Listennnnnn I came on to make the same comment!
You can't be that slow bro
And that was supposed to be his FRIEND.
Aww Mr.wright !! I followed the story of Brandon on Facebook such a sad story my heart still hurts from her !
Awww this one sound sad already 😢 😔 I have a twin and couldn't imagine losing her 💔 I pray for them 🙏 hope yall stay blessed and get over all of yall hardships and mishaps ❣it's all love over here
I have 7 yr old girl/boy twins and they're tight like glue. 💗💙
Yes, I have 15-year-old identical twin girls, and losing one of them would literally be like losing a part of the other.
@@NubianP6 I'm a twin and I'm 15
As sad as this case it, I think she has misplaced anger and emotions. I think he did the best he could to make the video but he is an amateur. It sounds like she was mistaken about a lot of details.
Prayers for her it seems she is still hurt and placed her anger on him
He sure did charge the woman he highly respected a lot of money for a friend he really loved. Then if she was unsatisfied with his work he could've worked out something with her knowing she was grieving!
Some black folks just don't care about each other anymore, not every one is a True Friend these days, Its about damn Money. He doesn't care about his friend or his mom, he cares more about his Business and himself.
900 is too much ?! That’s a deal. A 4 min video is hours or editing. Stick to your day job. If y’all don’t have the budget just say that
@@knightclassic1 that mighty dollar is a soft killer for sure! You're right about all that u said and it's sad that things have gotten that way!
@@knightclassic1 Please he was hired to do something and did it. This thing of under charging because I your friend attitude and if you don't you not a true friend is bull shit 🙄
@@krys0110 it is too much especially if she was dissatisfied and didn't get what she paid for. I'm not sure the pay range is for something such as what she requested tho!
I agree with the judge for dismissing the case.
Lady listen to the young man; he has the footage. Accept it...release your anger... and finish grieving !
Please give her back her son's footage
Oh Chile that video was not worth no 900 dollars
I am so sorry for her but I am so grateful the judge sided with the defendant. That was HIS video not hers anyway
I have missed feelings about this case. We didn't watch the entire 4 minute video so we really can't make a judgment call there re everything he was accused of. Also, seems there were communication issues regarding what was required. The plaintiff complained about poor audio...perhaps the audio in the original footage was bad to begin with? Where I really fault the defendant, was going late...but let's face it, even if he arrived on time, she would've still taken him to court. I just think he did what he thought was right by including the ppl who showed up to support the family at the funeral. Sad all around.
U do know this is edited for t.v right the judge saw the whole video..
@@Eltown33 My comment said 'We' meaning the viewers watching/commenting. Absolutely nothing to do with Mathis. So, to answer your question, yes, I do know that.
@@Eltown33 agreed
I was going to say the same thing about the audio. You can't fix bad audio on a past production which is how he pieced together this video by using old footage. She really couldn't blame him for that. The only thing he did wrong was showing up late but not understanding why he'd need to be there at 8AM for a 4 minute video.
Coincidentally and for comparison sake I just did a 6 minute tribute video for a funeral that just happened this past Saturday and I only had to be there 15 minutes before the start of the service to plug my laptop into their projector.
Hmm. I’m not sure. The short clip that we saw from the video could have been a lot better in my opinion, but it seems that emotions have the plaintiff stuck in a rut of (possible) misinformation as evidenced by her accusing the defendant of losing footage that he clearly says he still has, and also saying that he moved to Florida, when he says that he did not. He doesn’t want to be disrespectful to her, so he’s treading lightly, and she is understandably emotional over the loss of her son, so she’s going in hard.
He’s not a professional and she wanted a MUSIC VIDEO. I would’ve just ask for a video with his loved ones telling their special memories of him with some gospel music playing in the background then added the footage of her son talking about her at the end.
And even still, he said he has the footage and instead of her asking if he can send her the footage so she can take it to a professional she decided to accuse him of wrongdoing.
That video was definitely not worth $900 lol
Miss directed anger...So sorry for your loss.
May she find peace 🌼 sad case
You can't dress up audio from footage that looked like it was recorded on a moto razor flip phone. I see nothing wrong with the video. But I feel he charged her alot for his friend/her son
The way I just screamed !!! 😂
The audio and video was very low quality. 🤢🤢🤢
That’s 10,800$ an hour!!!
900 for 4-5mins.
That is excessively large amount of money. He definitely got over, but she is a fool for agreeing to that!
Worst times are coming in the world but🌎 GREATER is coming in the kingdom 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Make sure you're in the Kingdom!!!
Sometimes being concise is difficult when you're suffering from the loss of a loved one.
I’m sorry for her loss. I now what it’s like to have sarcoma, I had Undifferentiated Liver Sarcoma at the age 3-8 and it’s still affects me til this day. I pray for who are battling, survivors and their caretakers we are so strong, beautiful and brave
Why in the world would she sue him for no reason at all.. It seems like she just wants to speak about her son to more people... nothing about her case makes sense bc her argument was not even close to winning the case.. she's just sad about what happened and just wants to complain about everything in the world
I feel she should’ve got some of her money back and what messed it up was that she didn’t have the paper with the agreement.
She was told he was good at his job and he told her he had a lot of footage of her son. Sometimes we be so quick to get something done or even support someone we know that we don’t do proper research.
Yes she mistaken the funeral for the repast, that happens, and they agreed it was to be memories of her son in the video.
I hope the rest of the footage have more of him in it and pray her and her family able to come out strong from the loss of their family member. My condolences 💐 🕊 🙏🏽
Sad case. Not to much else to say.
This case pissed me off. She lost her son. So what she can’t explain it right!!!!! I’ve seen the judge dog deeper for less. I don’t know if she’s right, but I feel safe had a right to explain better.
He is bias. If it was a jail bird who couldn’t speak but claimed he was “turning his life around” he would let that slide. He is a joke!
When you're in court you have to be prepared.. the emotions of her losing her son sad... But you cannot make a judgment off those emotions
That's like saying she was so nervous that she chose the wrong person in the lineup, give her another chance... Doesn't work that way not in law
@@philmorehiphop I would agree, if I haven’t been watching this show for years and haven’t seen him be patient about these things whenever he chooses to. They’re in arbitration, not a murder trial.
@@cosmiccoachingandsolpsychi4553 judge Mathis was all the way with her until she said that the cameraman showed her son in the coffin... When the video was shown there was no part of that in the video.. regardless of how emotional and sadden she is that is a huge part of the case that you must have corrected and if you're in such an emotional state where you cannot get the evidence together then how can I take anything else you say with the value.. you watch the show long enough to know the moment you miscommunicate evidence to say it in a nicer way (lie) he usually already has his mind made up 🤷🏿♂️
He charged her what for that video?! Shame.
The judge is very literal like Judge Judy is. She said the defendant had footage of the funeral service. Based off of what she said, JM was expecting to see footage of the actual service, not everybody gathering outside. I personally was expecting to see a casket. With people like him (literal thinkers) you have to be very particular about what you say, and it has to match the evidence (in this case). If it doesn't, then they will dismiss everything you say. There is very little room for correction or error with them. I'm married to one and he is the exact same way. I also have a sister like that.
Well the solution to that is just be prepared and don't fuck up
@@kylerreynoldssr.459 LOL exactly!
The law is LITERAL genius. You know how many criminals would go free or innocent people convicted if you could just go to court and not have to prove anything? You can't win a case with common knowledge. Law is specific for a reason. "literal thinkers"...that sounds ridiculous 🙄
@@johndavis8295 No shit, Sherlock.🙄 I know the law itself is literal, but not all people are. That part wasn't something I needed to explain. Somebody in other comments was talking about not being able to make mistakes with Judge Mathis. That's where my comment comes in. Capeesh?
@@sweetsweet81 then you should have replied to that comment. This comment on it's own is vague, off-topic and says I don't understand how the judicial system works. Be more LITERAL and specific next time. Kapesh?
I think she should have just asked for all the footage of her son. And researched good editors in the area.
I don't know how I feel about JM's ruling on this one
Mom seemed a bit frazzled presenting her case. Maybe it was nerves but to bring back any memory of her child passing had to really hurt.
The Defendant had all of this footage for a 4 minute video that was a mess. I think still pictures in a photo book woulda been way better than that video. She paid damn near $1000 for that…really?? 🙄
She needed someone to be angry with.
Condolences to this mom. My daughter beat SARCOMA CANCER TWICE. Never , ever had heard of SARCOMA. I was scared to death. I never, ever want to see my child go through that again. Watching your child suffer i think hurts you, more than them.
I think she meant that he made a recording on the day of the funeral (which is a shame). She did not pay for a video of people attending the funeral. Anyone with a cell phone could do that. She paid for a video of her son's memories when he was alive. I have never seen a video at a funeral that include the people attending the funeral. Too bad that she did not know how to communicate that. The defendant is a horrible business man if he thinks the footage shown in the video is ok. She paid $900 for basically a sidewalk video of people standing outside of the funeral.

@@fransicogerado179 that won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Davis
Anyone else confused 🫤
There’s no way you can edit footage to look better. The video was short for sure, but the audio issue is not his fault. I hope all parties can get pass this. 🥺🥺🥺🥺
One thing I can side with the mom is the video you would expect to see little more of him then anybody else. I mean I'm little lost too was he suppose to put record the funeral and make a tape out of that too? Now if mom wanted a video of her son. I think she wanted more him. Towards the end I was getting confuse who was her son? I'm taking the one thanking his mom and dad when she thought was bad recording, And btw that's a video in a video so you may not get sound like the original unless he has the right equipment to do it or truly lack on mastering and editing part, but it should have at least pictures of him in between the showing of other people. Or see a pic in a back ground. Show more video clips. Which I bet those are the files she talking about he deleted. Stating she saying you stole all his memories. If he has the other footage he needs to give it to her. But I seen the potential in his work though. So hopefully he still have the footages she gave him. He should try again maybe he'll do better. Not knocking him cause regardless he did some good work
He should just give her whatever he has (remaining footage) and be done with it.
Sad 😢 that her son passed away
The video did not have enough of her son. I don't think she was specific enough have to have a contract.
she should have her own damn footage of her son if ya ask me.
Judge ruling was fair. Mom.gets a pass she is grieving.
I'm here My Beloved Favorite Judge ***ASHAY ***
And let's see the outcome of this case, and just in case u didn't know, I a certain country when a twin dies they call it "untwinned"
She said she made a lot of money off her son's death. I believe that was a way of keeping her son memory alive for her emotionally. People have different way of grieving. I think to pay 900 bucks is too much for a video like this. The audio was bad in this video. Sounded like it was recorded in a VHS video camera from the 80s. But as soon as she said he recorded video from the funeral. And yes most people believe the day of the funeral is part of the funeral. Legally it is not. A funeral is done at the cemetery. Mathis would have given her the benefit of a doubt if he put in footage from the wake.
I’m so sorry for her loss but I’m confused on how she came up with the conclusion that he stole her son memories
In order for something to be stolen it Hass to be someone else’s and took taken out of someone’s hands without permission
Why would she pay for her son's memorial video to see a bunch of randoms from the funeral?????
Bro that video he made was trash and definitely not worth the amount she paid!!!! Look like he put it together in 1 hr or less! He wrong for that smh…..RIP to that young man, Sorry for the loss mama.
900 where that is as 60$ worth of footage. He really could’ve did it for free if it was a real friend.
That wasn't the whole video I believe. Friends are not he was not wrong for charging for his services. We need to stop expecting folks to do stuff for free just because they are our family or friends.
💯🗣️
He’s a Philly scammer lol. Nobody charging $900 to record a fucking music video there 😂. He knew she didn’t know.
He must of been not much of a True Friend to her son, ripping her off like that. Can't trust every Black Owned Business unfortunately, and I am Black.
@@knightclassic1 that goes for any business. Ppl are so consumed with money they lose their integrity.
@@knightclassic1 Why do you keep harping on Black? Why would you think you could trust EVERY Black-owned business? That type of belief would be absurd and naive about any group of people..
She didn't really have her case together. But she had alot to say after. Then I wonder why they waited to the day of to show the video to everyone. She should've saw it prior so she could say what she like or didn't like.
Now all of a sudden the case over, he has the footage. He should’ve told the judge when they were in the room that he had the footage.
The judge be acting like people can’t make a mistake/misspeak.
Get a licensed professional. He tried.
I’m amazed that she received emotional and financial support from all over (a true blessing) and yet would take her son’s good friend to court over that video (sad). Still, my sincere condolences for such a beautiful life lost.
The video looked great to me
She's wrong for trying to put her emotions on that young man...
Sometimes judge Mathis is too dismissive as was the case here; Congrats to the young man for being so RESPECTFUL♥️
Yes he does but he did right here. the woman was clearly emotional and seemed confused. How could he make a judgement based off what she says
@@biggchill8176 very true. I agree! JM ruled correctly. She has misplacef anger and grief, and he's unfortunately a soft target
ANGRY DISHONEST WOMAN AND THAT'S WHY JUDGE MATHIS RULED AGAINST!!! Hopefully, the young man will send her whatever footage he has of her late son so that she can get closure and move on.
She shouldn’t have taken him to court
The case should of been dismissed based off her claims. She needed help articulating what he really did which is use her sons death to make money off of her and made promises of things he could not fulfill. The video quality picture and sound are horrible and definitely not worth $900
Women is still in mourning.
She wants to take it out on this nice young man. Women you need to shut up!
Wait...she wants him to shoot the video and play the video for the audience for $900? No ma'am!!!
Love the show the volume been too long please thank you
WOW!!!!!!! Bad call Judge Bad call. I understood what she meant when she said he showed footed of the funeral….
It wasn’t bad it just was beginner photography
I think the mother is so hurt she just wants to have someone to attack. The video I saw looked beautiful, clear. I mean her anger is misdirected and it's poisonous
Lord have mercy who is singing
