In civil court it’s called preponderance of evidence 👩⚖️ but in criminal court it is called beyond a reasonable doubt. I think the plaintiff bringing in those pictures was enough evidence to prove it probably was not her car. Smart move on her part.
I think she should've dismissed the case without prejudice. That way, they could go back to a different court , get more evidence, and sue either the defendants, or the other person that it could've been.
A case would not be dismissed without prejudice for that reason simply to prevent harassment through repeated lawsuits. The judicial system aims to ensure that individuals are not subjected to repeated litigation for the same issue. For example If the state accuses someone of a crime and fails to provide sufficient evidence, the judge would dismiss the case, allowing the state to keep suing the person till they get lucky or the my h but not with the intention of allowing for repeated suits. Judges primarily dismiss cases without prejudice due to procedural errors. These errors could include filing the case in the wrong court, mistakes in paperwork, or situations where both parties wish to resolve the matter outside of court. Cases are not usually dismissed for lack of evidence; instead, judges often grant a specific time frame, such as two weeks, for the parties to gather and present the necessary evidence, like phone records.
He saw the car pull off so He knows which direction it was facing. He also followed the car so he knows which way the car was facing because he was driving in the same direction. What does she mean he doesnt know what direction? He saw the damn car pull off.
Yeah, I was a bit confused by that part as well. I thought an eyewitness to the car pulling off, would've helped the case, but I guess not.🙅♀️🙅♀️🙅♀️
@calvthomas6153 the eye witness only supports the plaintiff side and also has something to gain. Had a police report stated the same thing the judge would have an on the day recollection of what happened and not something made up later for court
@@gladitordragon - That's how it usually works doesn't it? A subpoena'd witness will usually support one side or the other. It's whether or not their testimony helps to sway (more likely than not), the judge's decision. In this situation i think what won the case, was the testimony from the defendant regarding the other vehicle. I did think that the testimony from the witness would've rebutted that but it didn't. Oh well...🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️.
@calvthomas6153 not in every case. When I was hit by a care, my witness was a random person who had no connection to me. It was more believable. The witness in this case, is basically part of the case. It's hard to believe him and they didn't have police report to support the first sighting.
The plaintiff says, “I can’t remember if the damage to my car was done in November or December.” Then later she says, “It happened the week before Christmas.” Where is the police report for that accident?
JM is wrong way more than she's right lol if she didn't upload so much (and i wasn't addicted to court tv) i wouldn't watch her lol where is the lady's police report from her accident? she can just say she was in an accident and take a pic of a random car that looks like hers and get off? How???
I think the defendant did it. The whole smirk at the end and rubbing her nose in the hallway when she said “I didn’t do it”. Body language tells a lot.
@@jayatmosphere2745 Again, she “can’t remember if it was November or December. It was a week before Christmas”. Is Christmas in November? No. She clearly remembered it was the week before Christmas. So which is it? She “doesn’t remember” or was it “the week before Christmas”?
@@PennRynnAgain, she was saying that when the detective all of a sudden showed up at her door, she couldn’t remember at that time when the accident (involving a different vehicle) occurred. Since then, obviously in time for the court case she was able to remember. Whether it was through report records etc.
JM should've ran the plates on the red car to see if they were registered to the actual car and make sure she didn't put her friend's plates on it. I think she dropped the ball on this one. 🤔
I think that either she or someone else was holding the pictures up to the camera at some other time. Could have been before, during, or after the taping. Or it could have been her reviewing the pictures at a different time. Because when they show a close up of the picture, one is on top and the other on the bottom. Then we they pan back out, she’s all of a sudden holding the pics side by side. If that makes sense.
That's crazy They had a police report and everything. A small claims court you do not need to prove your case be on a reasonable doubt that was not fair
@@msawmusic common courtesy says it was a hit and run. My insurance company will take care of it and let them find the person since I am not 100%. And her witness lied. So it wasn’t so innocent
@@toyacrowder510 I’m not sure what state you’re in, but most insurance companies require a police report to cover hit and run accidents. She did the right thing by notifying the police and allowing them to investigate. They CONFIRMED the defendant hit her car. Judge Milian is going by pictures and assumptions, I’d trust the word of the cops before anyone else.
2 red Impalas in the same area and BOTH with front end damage…that’s one hell of a coincidence but I believe the defendant. I don’t believe her car hit the plaintiffs and even if it did, the fact that there were no witnesses to witness the accent is reason enough to dismiss the whole case until definitive proof can be established. This case was just wild.
@@uaintseememaaan8901 there was a witness and the police investigated, actually looked at both vehicles and said it was her. She couldn’t even get her story straight in court of when the damage happened to her vehicle.
I did not believe the defendant AND judge said people think they can reconstruct accidents BUT she thinks it too. Why not believe the officer who does that for a living. And sorry for sure she saw the same car yesterday. And I haven’t seen dark windows at the 2. car????
The judge should have dismissed this case without prejudice, so that they could continue the investigation with the police and if it is decided that it really was the defendant's car, then they could bring it back to court...
I lived on a curve in the street and 3 times in 20 years the tree on the boulevard was hit. Every time the City replaced the tree, but young trees aren't strong enough to take it.
I must disagree with the judge this time they saw the accident. They see the car every day. The judge is only looking at pictures. She has not seen the car. She can’t tell from pictures.
@@jayatmosphere2745 He saw the car pull off and he followed it. Therefore, He knows the direction the car was going whenit hit her truck. What direction was it going when it pulled off? As such, the damage is on the side corresponding to the direction it was going so there can only be one of the two cars that fits that.
There’s no way that new car did that damage. There’s no blue paint on it and there’s no way the giant dent in that fender was caused by sideswiping a truck. I’ve been in auto body for almost a decade. There’s no way and JM should have known that.
PLUS, Look at the rust where the paint is missing. That damages was there at least 6 months. I swear JM does this once in a while just to piss people off. 😂😂😂
I just wanted to let you know that I have been watching you for a while now and I really appreciate you keeping me up to date with what is really happening in this country.
I dont think the plaintiff cared who did it, the defendant or the car the defendant snapped, she just wants her car payed for. I wouldnt want ro pin it on the wrong person either, but the plaintiff needs to go back to the police because they did a half assed job as well as the accident dude, they just wanted another case closed whether it was her or not. Pretty bad really.
Having a car is the worst necessity! Shit goes down in value, anyone could get away with damaging it, scammers constantly selling them, taxes, insurance, maintenance, expensive asf! And yet…we NEED cars for traveling and commuting. There needs to be a better way!
I wished there was a way to cross examine the driver of the other car. Unfortunately, this was not a criminal case. The good thing is that with the introduction of the 2nd car, maybe there can be some more detective work.
You don’t have an eye witness at the time cops won’t confirm guilt . My daughter parked opposite a driveway . The car up the drive had her paint on the bumper . Cop said no witness
Judge M should stop asking litigants why 3rd parties said or did something, or didn't say or do something. How is the litigant supposed to know why the Officer completed the accident investigation in that manner? But I agree with the verdict - no definite evidence to support that it was the defendant's car.
I agree. While the question to ask why the report was made that was is valid, the plaintiffs have no control over how the police conduct their investigation.
The judge did ask the defendant enough questions like where is her police report for the “her accident “ that coincidentally happen month ago and why would the person SHE hit give them a fake number wouldn’t they want there vehicle to be fix like I would understand if the other person hit them and ran off with a fake # but she said she hit them and her damage is to the front of her car The plantif constantly said he seen the vehicle flee the scene so ofc he would know what direction the car was coming from even the police said it you can’t tell by just photos nowadays This case shouldn’t have been ruled the way it was and should’ve called a recess and allow the plantiff to get police report as well as allow the defendant to show her police report in which she coincidentally hit another vehicle and not the plantiffs
This was a difficult case and both sides put in some overtime to sway Judge Milian in their direction. I'm sure a lot of viewers can relate to me in that, I study the facial expressions and demeanor of the litigants throughout the case as they interact with Judge Milian. The Defendant's are responsible...
@@demarioda1 Yeah, he just has a really unhealthy obsession with celebrities. Like you said, they never look like the person. I've heard: Miley Cyrus, Tupac, Queen Latifah, Taylor Swift, and Kevin Hart to name a few.
That lady hit her car, coincidentally she doesn’t have a report from her “accident “ a month earlier.
Why didn't judge ask for proof of 1st accident a month earlier.
🗣️BRANDY WHO? Harvey, shut up 😂😂😂
It being two of the same car in the same area with damage on it is sooooo odd. I wouldn’t feel comfortable saying it was her.
especially as a red Impala with dark tinted windows, that doesn't seem to be that common of a car, or is it? I don't know
And THAT, is what's called reasonable doubt.
In civil court it’s called preponderance of evidence 👩⚖️ but in criminal court it is called beyond a reasonable doubt. I think the plaintiff bringing in those pictures was enough evidence to prove it probably was not her car. Smart move on her part.
Ironically, the defendant didn’t have a police report for her accident. Yeah ok!
How would she
I think she should've dismissed the case without prejudice. That way, they could go back to a different court , get more evidence, and sue either the defendants, or the other person that it could've been.
They still can sue the other car

That woman definitely hit her car.
Definitely that's y the smirk at the end
@@kimthomas6044yes I was believing that maybe she really didn’t hit the car but her smirk at the end said otherwise
The plaintiff says, “I can’t remember if the damage to my car was done in November or December.” Then later she says, “It happened the week before Christmas.” Where is the police report for that accident?
I was wondering why she did not ask her that? To prove when she had the accident

She said she couldn’t remember at the time when the detective spoke with her but she remembers now.
She said it was "too cold" to wait for anyone to show up. But you can still make a report.
Defendant
I think the defendant did it. The whole smirk at the end and rubbing her nose in the hallway when she said “I didn’t do it”. Body language tells a lot.
I believe the plaintiffs. Calmly gives the story. Defendant is full of could have, might have, would have …..
Me too but it’s just impossible to prove in this situation
The defendants did it
She did it , she went online and got those pics
he said he saw the car drive away so he would know the direction the car was driving .
meaning he would also know the direction of the hit
The defendant is LYYYYIIINNNNN LOL 😂😂😂 u kno u ain’t get into no accident a month before lol

Reasonable doubt is just that.
Did anyone notice JM nails were a red colour in the beginning of the case, 7:22mins, then french tip at 10 mins.. ?🤔
Super weird. 😂

@@jayatmosphere2745your right that was probably added in after filming so we can see as well
I should think the cop/s who investigated in person could tell more than a judge with pictures.
The cop didn't even perform a proper accident reconstruction investigation. They guessed without having both cars.
Which way was the guilty car going didnt the plaintiff say he saw it drive off means it wasnt coming from the other way like the defendant said !!!
One reason to always have comprehensive insurance. No evidence but you want to get paid 👩🏿⚖️
Comprehensive insurance is absolutely essential Anyone who cannot afford the insurance cannot afford to drive.
That's crazy They had a police report and everything. A small claims court you do not need to prove your case be on a reasonable doubt that was not fair
I believe the defendant did do it. I feel bad for the plaintiff.
Damn that smile the defendant gave at the end looks like the smile of someone who got away with it 😂
Hey Joyce, it's me again 👋🏼
Can't stand anybody who says huh? When they clearly heard every word. Obvious tell. So pathetic.
