- The plaintiff was married to the defendant’s brother when he was murdered. After her husband’s death, the plaintiff says the defendant stole money from him, so she’s suing. The defendant says the money went toward the funeral.

She wouldnt be suing if you all included her and her kids. If you realized her grief was just as important than yours, you wouldn't be in this situation.
With all the money she stole and cashed from her brother, she couldn’t even buy a shirt that fits.
Funny 🤣
Ryte looking right tacky they slipped up when judge ask of money in pocket mama yea daughter no he knew then the daughter lied and they kept money of his person scum
🤣🤣🤣🤣
ooop
She “had” him arrested ? I’m so sick of mammies. He was arrested because he was beating her up
I believe the wife 100%. His family is toxic and greedy . They stole her money because what's his and hers. I believe the arrangements was paid for by other people and they probably did not come out of pocket for anything. The audacity of the trifling sister trying to sue in order to recover the gift that she gave the plaintiff and her kids. Girl bye!
She had no say so in his funeral arrangements, and yet now they're trying to shame her into buying him a headstone? Smdh...
Nothing to say about her with the cousin!! Because she didn't deny it.
@@Eltown33that was only a 2 second clip you don't know if she denied it, now if they brought that out in the courtroom and she ain't denie it then yea that's bad
@heathab...._-_ soon as they said it her response was oh u mad.. u clearly 🙄 know what that mean.
YES she should.. that's her husband
@@Eltown33 she could have been saying you mad at something else they said we will never know 🤷🏽♀️
A lot of y’all are thinking with emotions, and not THE LAW. BY LAW, she is his legal next of kin,and there was no will. So by law, that was HER money, and they should’ve understood that before they went and spent it
Exactly. For certain.
This is this man’s WIFE so nothing else even matters if he didn’t have a WILL! THE WIFE has the benefits. The family had no business going after his cash. Putting your feelings and emotions to the side, LEGALLY she’s his wife and she won her case.
All that needs to be said when there are kids involved.
@@chrissygoodrich1856I said what I said and it stands kids or no kids. That’s why She won her case.
Fuck Outta Here I love y'all P.O.V but I can't stand for it they paid for that funeral not "THE WIFE "
@@bigredd4630uh uh. They STOLE his money, and then left her and HIS CHILDREN out of the funeral arrangements. The funeral home shouldn’t have even dealt with the family and called his WIFE
🥱 I said what I said and I stand on it. Not arguing. Cuss and clown all you want. Goodnight.
It’s not up to the family to decide what to do with his money because if they’re married his money is her money
Period I went through something like this and I was just the niece and my HUSBAND ended up paying for the entire funeral not 1 cent came from another place I got the receipt and I was just hurt because my unc died he had no insurance at all his wife didn’t either
Right, people are ruthless
Since she's the wife and responsible for him, they should have counter sued for the funeral cost. As the wife she's responsible for the funeral. Can't have it both ways.
His final disposition wasn’t even up to them. That would’ve pissed me off so damn bad
@@ncqueenbee9838she tried to be there and involved but they purposely left her out of the loop. 🤷🏽♀️
I wish the wife would have sued for $5000. I feel she would have got it for emotional distress for excluding her from the arrangements.
I totally agree. How dare they.
If you are married and or have children (anyone dependent on your income), get you some life insurance. Take care of your family. It's called being responsible.
This is a huge thing!!!!!!
Exactly I still have life insurance policy’s on 2 of my ex’s
Funerals bring OUT THE WORSE!!!!!!!!!!
...as well as weddings.
...only with us. We spend way more time acknowledging DEATH than we do with LIFE
This is a so sad situation over money when a brother/husband has passed away. Folks act a fool over money all the time regardless on if people are living or dead. Sad world
I said the same exact thing when my sister passed. It opened my eyes up to people’s true intentions. It’s absolutely ridiculous how people act towards their family members.
Ryte wasn’t even a lot of money now way and the family was no good they kept it had they been real they said here give to kids buts that’s too good to be true too much like right for them
The sister does not have the authorization to tell the funeral director what to spend the money on, only the wife does.
Period!
The funeral director/ funeral home can actually be sued for allowing the family to make arrangements with the official next of kin which was indeed the wife.
he should be sued
That family is so trifling. They had no business leaving her out of the arrangements. And then tried to sue for a gift
Ryte jus greedy for money must don’t got nothing or had much who would leave wife out and kids they have his blood still pittyful smh
Wait… are they saying the business man offered to pay for everything but, they still reserve the right to mad the wife didn’t contribute; when they didn’t contribute either..? 😂
The family had no say so she’s the wife
But they wasn’t together
@@gorjuskhari7890but if they were still legally married, that doesn't matter..
@@brandoni241You are so right.
I said the same thing! She’s the wife, she should know about the funeral arrangements first hand.
My dad left my mom moved to another state we pay for her funeral without my dad but we had to serve him via certified mail just so he wouldn’t come to court to get a judgment by default to legal take ownership of house n car but they was wrong but they was right to plan his funeral everybody toxic 😂
That dude was one of them old heads trying to flex on the young dudes. Almost 3k in his pocket and arguing with a 16 year old. He was definitely on the block
yep
Yup… and these lil dudes be ready to crash out
When my mother passed away the only people who paid for her funeral were me and my sister... my mother had several siblings and a large family, too. We took care of everything, us two, and left town right after the funeral. That was it (my mother's life insurance was in my name).
😇
My mother passed, literally me and my mama's husband at that were the only ones that came out of pocket.... There was a life insurance policy but my mother had it under my grandma's name. So I, nor my brothers, nor my mother's husband aqw anything. I literally had to trust what they were saying and still come out of pocket so my mama can have a head stone
@@errolm8313damn that’s so sad. I’m so sorry you had to go through that. May your mum rest in peace.
A beneficiary doesn’t mean you owe anybody anything. My sibs were mad with me. My sis lived upstAirs in my moms home, it went into foreclosure. I stepped in the day before a sheriffs sale of the home, just to do a quick sale, pay for my moms funeral. 5 of us agreed on $200 ea, for the burial. I had my older bro to collect, I gave $200 ,on weds, by sat the funeral home was calling my Pastor, the 10 k, insurance policy fell thru. I called my bro, me; hold all money that was collected. Him; he spent it on plumber, got grass cut, this that, everything this money wasn’t allotted for. Funeral Monday, we had to start , again. I gave $200, got $300 from oldest son , @ the funeral, we still don’t have enuf, my bro; I need to go to ATM, really? I’m pulling monies out of cards, then another card, still don’t have enuf, now $1’s were applied , smh . Finally, she died June 11, finally got house sold ( lost $1,000’s of dollars ) Jan 26, 2 days b4 , another sheriffs sale, had them give me $7,000 check for funeral home, $1,500 for this that I was running to pay that. It was in my name, my social, so they didn’t care. My mom had liens on that house, $1,500 x 3. My sis; I coulda got $125,000 for that house , really? Me: why didn’t you,? sis: everybody listening to you. Ima nurse, they drilled in my head , documentation. Everything was documented, 7 sibs got copies of all. From mortgage company to selling of house. They still talking bout S… 21 yrs.later . I hadn’t lived in that house, in > 20 yrs. To step in& do anything. Only thing I was thinking, this lady had this house 23 yrs, I kept thinking , we need to pay $7,000 balance on that funeral. It was a hot mess, I had to run 2 months, getting this that legal paper, going to court( alone) finally in Oct ( from Aug) got lawyer.
Man, this is sad. If this man was bi-polar, but once they get off the medication for an extended time, their behavior is extremely erratic. Yeah, if they were together that long, who knows the craziness she endured. The family was wrong, no explanation needed, just wrong on every level.
I have a great Aunt who is bi-polar and my grandmother lives with her and she also was suffering from dementia. All my great Aunt does is lie and lie and lie so much.
The family should have let the wife handle everything on her own, she seems like she could have handled it.
I could have❤
If someone dies without a will, the next of kin is automatically the whoever the deceased is married to. I'd feel for the family if they were really struggling to come up with the money, but they can't just take it like that irregardless 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Irregardless aint a real word..its a double negative
This whole case is a mess. If the money was used for the funeral, what's the problem?
Intentionally leaving the wife out of the planning process was wrong.
I love judge Mathis the way he advocates is so admirable he states verifiable facts and still remain relatable
Also the wife needs to sue the funeral home
Why is his family handling his body ! The wife should have signed for her husbands body, and she should have made all the funeral arrangements !!
Made me wonder if they were really married because the funeral home is one thing but shouldn’t his belongings have been released to her since it was a crime
@NikaNeek yes she should have signed for her husbands body ! That would have taken care of everything. She wouldn't had any problems receiving what's coming to her !
@@kennethwilliams4909 maybe like they said she was “too busy” the money should’ve gone to her legally if they were married, but we know in reality how some of these situations go, sad story
A Living Trust is the way to go with any assets, big or small, you intend to leave to your heirs, including your spouse and children, grandchildren, etc.
The funeral home should hav3 been liable became they illegally accepted money from the family when he had a wife. She is the next of kin by law and she was the only one who had the right to bury the husband.
That made me wonder if they were legally married
I work for the state and I had to deal with funeral homes.
Let me tell you something these funeral homes do a lot of fraudulent things behind the scenes including falsifying documents to cover up
Their mistakes
@@NikaNeekshe said the family had a direct relationship with the funeral director. Looks like they pulled strings
@@BeccasaurousRex270 then she should be suing them, I also wondered that because if I remember correctly (sorry it’s been a while since I watched this) she said they collected his personal belongings from the law as well so I just wondered if they had a legal marriage
Growing up I knew so many ppl who got "crazy" checks. Clearly the ppl in our neighborhood didn't mind medicating their children for their disorders.
Yes and also growin up alot of folks PRETENDED for a check you didnt need too much proof or dr referrals like you do know. I remember bein 5 years old n my aunt went to the public aid office n acted crazy n she got her benefits on the spot 🤦🏽♀️
@@itscollysworld1389 facts
You don't always have to be on medication to receive a check if you have a diagnosis
@@mecca6941 I didn't imply that
@@urluvizmyluv1999 not arguing but you said "clearly ppl didn't mind medicating their children" when you were speaking on receiving checks. Now if I didn't understand what you were meaning..I apologize
I feel like if they are married there should be a signature that the wife has to sign over to allow anyone else to make arrangements.thats how it should be.
Chile the end got messy! 😂😂
If they didn't use that money towards the funeral. That's dirty ASF to steal from a dead man. For real!
“Too much sugar” lmao! That forreal is typically an excuse given.
The defendants completely took over the funeral and aint include in her nothing and she was the wife, yes they needed to be sued
Definitely!
How you spend 10k on a funeral and the man don't have a headstone?
Separate expense burial and actually funeral expenses
Easy! Doesn't take much.
10k on a funeral isn't even enough. I was more than that, I'm sure. I'm from Cincinnati. You can't get buried in a Jordan box for 10k
@@portabella3400 well I live in IL, I know you can cover everything for 10k. I grew up on the westside of Chicago, I had to help bury more than my fair share of love ones. Every box don't have to be high end. Most people want to be sent off in lavish luxury. But if you not thinking about life insurance or paying for your own funeral. Most people will put you in a pinebox
She shouldn’t have allowed that. And should’ve went after that funeral home too. They legally have no rights
Sleeping with his cousin and walking in hiding her belly tho...
That gossip and pregnancy has nothing to do with this case tho
According to whom?
@@ericarogers4474 Ha! lol At the start of the case it caught my attention that she WAS covering her belly. I only stated what the defendants said about her sleeping with his cousin ...JM and litigants talk about irrelevant things to the case all the time...I don't know if she's pregnant or not and didn't say she was...We all have minds to think and mouths to say whatever we want..Chill
What does that have to do with the case
Whew I can tell a lot of ya'll don't know how the law works. Being the wife takes precedence over EVERYTHING. Everything they did was outside of the law. They should've put their feelings about her to the side and worked with her for the funeral arrangements instead of trying to ice her and her children out of the event. Smh.
Poor Doyle 😂😂😂
She looking at the paper as if the results are gonna change. No ma’am and you’re trifling as hell
The look on Dole's face....
She had every right to sue the funeral home too cause WTH
I feel so sorry for the wife, this reminds me of my brother death I had relatives come to his house and take his belongings without family permission to this day I hate them n will never speak to them
Seemed like a very violent, problematic relationship/Marriage.
I wish Black couples had more loving, positive unions.
Your wish has come true because many do have loving positive unions. What do you wish for non-Black couples? Mental illness, problems, and violence know no boundaries.
@@sereneamani1713thank you. 👏🏽
SMH his family probably was never present in his life but want to rob a dead man and his kids wow
And wasn’t❤
The way they pronounce "funeral" is hilarious 😂
I’m glad someone else recognized that!
Now I have to watch it again. 😂😂🤣🤣
If you travel throughout all parts of the U. S., you will be in stitches all the time. Possibly like people from the UK think how Americans pronounce English is hilarious.
@sereneamani1713 but it's vice versa too. Americans think the way British people talk is funny.
How does the family not include the WIFE?? The family should have been going through her in the 1st place. There’s no way my husband’s family would have any type of say so.
Doyle holding it down.....😂
The defendant and aunt hate sitting there hearing the truth about their matter. It was so much easier to put blame on the plaintiff
A will is ALWAYS needed. A spouse will crawl from underneath the deepest rock if even only a penny was left.
A will is ALWAYS contestable. In biblical law and established U. S. law, spouses come before family of origin until the marriage has been dissolved LEGALLY. As the OP @holy6142 said "they did what they HAD to do" to break the law.
Were they really married because if they were then the wife is in charge of everything not the mom and sister.
The auntie referring him to “this man” funeral is beyond me!!
They knew the funeral director so that’s how they got away with that, but they were legally married, they just weren’t romantically together anymore
Money always seems to bring out the devil in folks. Smh
The plaintiff was his Wife! Everything should have gone through her! The defendants were wrong with how they handled the funeral arrangements . The plaintiff should have been involved .
THE WIFE WON!! SHE IS BEAUTIFUL TOO!!, THE CAMERA MAN THOUGHT THE SAME!!! THANKS JUDGE MATHIS FOR RULING IN THE WIFE'S FAVOR!!
Thanks❤
After the case, both parties were arguing (again) even though the case was won which you can't do, & aside from that what the argument was about was not relevant to the case, you suppose to give your thoughts on the case, not argue
Baby girl.. 😡.. it does not mater how matter many restraining orders/ TPO's or whatever.. They even were separated.. but guess what THEY Were still Legally MARRIED 👰. The wife has all the say so!! Just bc the family didn't lime the situation.. doesn't give the sister any rights .. you cannot overrude the wife 😩
“They’re weird” 😂
Hope everyone that reads this have a great Thanksgiving!
Not the police 👮♀️ standing in the middle of them 🤣🤣🤣 “you had sex with my son”
The look on Doyle face at the end
Priceless..😂😂😂😂
This was a sad cause no doubt, but Doyle's face and uncomfortable body language at the end had me HOLLERIN. 😂😂😂
It was not your job to bury lil Don...that's his wife's responsibility
This is sad all the way around. If she did have him arrested for domestic violence, maybe he shouldn’t have been being violent towards her?? Some families always want to blame the victim, instead of their abusive ass family. His sister & anybody else who agreed to not include his WIFE at his funeral & took his money is trifling as hell. Strolling up in the courtroom with that tight ass shirt on, buttons just screaming. 🙄
Buttons screaming 😂
This the one😂😂😂😂😂🏌🏽♀️
Family disrespecting a 20 years marriage 😐 sis is lying
Defendant shirt is too small 😂😂
Idk I kinda feel like the family did what they needed to do to burry him
&&&&& that's true but at least include his wife come on now . they bougus period . 💔💔💔
@@MaryjaneLovevery
Right! She obviously wasn't interested in taking care of things or she would have instead of calling them asking about arrangements then mad that they used his money to try to bury him.
@@shellshellr469 Do you recognize or respect laws on marriage at all?
. &&&&& if you're married uu know uu should have life insurance period . . It's not nobody else responsible to help bury your husband or wife or kids . . 💔🤷💯
i wanted to know more about her not being invited the funeral because neither side was convincing
She was there.
Family . They are not who you think they are. Only for themselves. Sister/in law stay in your place.
They had no rights to take or make any decisions.
My mom was one of those dumb people that thought she could talk away behavioral problems. Not even being aware of her own behavioral problems.
This is so sad Rip to the family.
Its fine to have a personal relationship with the funeral director: i do with the one that my family uses. We're old friends, we grew up together.
The funeral director should’ve called his wife. They didn’t even include his children
@@PrincessZaire100No I agree about that. My buddy would've never done anything like that, he's a good guy. His family owns the funeral home which is quite literally up the street from my house. I think his parents mostly retired to Florida or something like that years ago, leaving it to him and his sister. We're the same age so we grew up together, going to school together and everything. I'm actually really glad to have had him as the funeral director: he's a really good guy, he does a really good job of it and he's a good friend.
That's true as long as they separate business from personal.
@@Barnyard-sunlight Oh definitely. Mostly it just means that we've got someone that we know that we can trust to do a good job. Thankfully it's not something that we've needed more than a few times.😭😭😭
This is sad but true. It happened to me. My Daddy had been gone 7 weeks and I didn’t know. I’m the eldest of 3, but his mom took over everything claiming she couldn’t reach me, which was a lie from hell. I talked with her 2wks b4 he passed. Long story short, my kids & I never got to say goodbye to him, and she magically found me when it was time to sign for the insurance check, she needed my signature to get her money. This messed me up for years. This truly was a true meaning of money being the root of all evil!! The wife was the captain as was I!
The family was wrong but the man’s cousin ? 🤢 and all you have to say is “you mad!” 😭
😂😂😂
Actually the situation with the cousin happened years ago, before we were married. My husband knew and forgave me. They brought that up to be ignorant. And yes I felt they were mad about it
It's sad that people looking for a come up when love ones die 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
I agree with the sister and aunt. First if all he had no life insurance, they were full of drama. At the time of his death there were restraining orders out and they werent even together and on top of that, they had to come together to pay for the funeral. So she wanted the money for what…just to spend?
She still has to care for his kids. They said more than once that they received more than enough to pay for the service. If that’s the case then they kept whatever was left
Finally someone with logic. She didn’t have any money to burry him & the aunt & sister knew she wouldn’t have given him a proper burial. She was going take that $2500 & blow it. I understand legally she was entitled to it but they knew she wasn’t going to do the right thing. I wouldn’t even trip because my husband was put away nicely & I didn’t pay a dime for. Also the sister give her $1200. She actually got more.
A guy that abuses me would be lucky not to be in a "pauper 's grave". The wife should be entitled to the pocket money for the children.
Man it’s crazy bc she has more rights to the body than them ! She must did not have the money .
Prayin for u and sorry for your loss
Heyyy Y’all 😌 We in here early ain’t it 👀
Oh lawd I just seen the end. She's with the husband's cousin now, probably the one who said who will pay for his whole funeral. Smh 😞
Some family members are no family members you can’t trust none of them they steal money right out your pockets. She was talking about funeral arrangements for their loved one. They got a kind of keep that stuff private don’t let family get involved they still still still.
So they stole the money and still didn't buy a headstone, but expect the wife to buy one now that she won the case. Smh. If the headstone was important to the family they would have purchased it along with everything else, instead of planning trips. They are greedy and heartless.
Poor Doyle at the end 😭
Y’all, he reads the case beforehand most of the time , he already has the verdict, they’re just presenting their case for tV.
On one episode he said he doesn’t read it beforehand
Why when someone does the family always want the family member money so bad and don’t think the WIFE and kids deserve the money.These people are money hungry and evil.And how she talking bad about the man but still took his money from his kids and saying the wife lied about domestic abuse I can’t stand people who say people lie about abuse after multiple police reports.
When you have a wife she is in charge
This was a damn shame 😮.
13:17 wait run that back WHAT 😂
Hey family🫶🏽❤️
Hey babe ✨🍩❤️
What funeral clothes cost $1220?!
If she was not a beneficiary, she had no control over the benefit’s.
So the “ wife” buried her husband for free didn’t put nothing in the pot to pay for funeral expenses buts se is this loving “wife”
Loving wife, any woman who loves an a user is straight up "Nuts".
There was no pot😂
She should be suing the funeral home as well next of kin is the ONLY one who can proceed with making arrangements I had to teach my cousins and the funeral home this lesson by winning a lawsuit when my father died my cousin lied and said she was his sister my father was an only child and Im his only child he never married they had to pay punitive damages as well.
I was to overwhelmed with grief to find a decent lawyer
@@terrikellam9164 you can still sue
Thanks, I’ll have to find one who’s willing to take the case
That family ain't lying on that girl! she wrong the one that be crying the most about the person be having the most guilt she didn't help pay for funeral not even worried about the headstone but mad they took the money out his pocket to pay for the funeral they gave her money for her and her kids can attend the funeral she ain't worry about that man
They broke the law
I bought the headstone. And never guilty about anything. It was so much that was not aired.
It’s always about money!
Sad!!! I just lost my brother and my brothers are acting up🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 sad
2500.00 but you took 2587.00 out of his pocket so tou used their money 💰 to pay for the funeral.
This is just plain sad..why do ppl act like this
The Sister looks deceitful. I'm 10 Seconds in.
This is a like 4 or five years ago fashion wasn’t like it is now.
Doctor Mathis now
she won the case when she said adhd…JM rules for who he personally identifies with
So, in your opinion, no law or reasoning was present? Your disdain for JM may be affecting your logical thinking.
She won cause she’s the next of kin
I agree. There was no evidence that the money did not go towards the funeral arrangement. What efforts did the wife make to take charge and get the arrangements made? She took the 1k that was offered. When exactly did the outrage over them taking 2k occur?
@@mrssanfl it doesn’t matter. They should’ve have given her the money because THEY WERE MARRIED. They had no business keeping that money, or using it without her authorization
