- November 13, 2014
In season 1 episode 77 of Hot Bench titled "Contractor in the Hot Seat; The Scooter Caper!", Judge Tanya Acker presides over a case involving a dispute between a homeowner and a contractor. The homeowner claims that the contractor did not complete the work he was hired to do and is seeking compensation for damages. The contractor argues that the homeowner changed the scope of the project midway through the job and is therefore responsible for any incomplete work.
As the case unfolds, it becomes clear that both parties have compelling arguments. The contractor provides evidence that he completed several aspects of the project and was paid for them, while the homeowner argues that the work he did was subpar and caused damage to his property. Judge Acker must weigh the evidence presented by both parties to determine who is at fault and how much, if any, compensation the homeowner is entitled to.
Meanwhile, Judge Larry Bakman hears a case involving a scooter theft. The plaintiff claims that his scooter was stolen while he was at work and that the defendant, a nearby business owner, is responsible for the theft. The defendant denies any involvement in the theft and argues that there is no evidence linking him to the crime.
As Judge Bakman listens to the testimony from both sides, he struggles to determine whether or not the defendant is telling the truth. The plaintiff has evidence that the defendant's employees were seen near the site of the theft, but the defendant argues that this is merely a coincidence and that his business had nothing to do with the crime.
Overall, "Contractor in the Hot Seat; The Scooter Caper!" is an engaging episode of Hot Bench that showcases the show's unique format of having three judges weigh in on each case.
