Hot Bench Season 1 Episode 8 The Very Odd Couple; Stolen Skateboard Ethics

In season 1 episode 8 of Hot Bench, titled "The Very Odd Couple; Stolen Skateboard Ethics," Judge DiMango and Judges Acker and Corriero preside over two unique cases.

The first case involves a woman who rented out a room in her home to a man through Airbnb. When the tenant doesn't pay his rent and refuses to leave, the woman seeks damages for unpaid rent and breach of contract. However, the tenant claims that the woman was discriminating against him because of his Christian beliefs and is countersuing for discrimination.

In the second case, a high school student's skateboard is stolen from his school. The student is able to track it down to a pawn shop but the owner of the pawn shop claims that he had no idea it was stolen and did his due diligence in checking the seller's identification. The student and his father are seeking damages for the cost of the skateboard, while the pawn shop owner argues that he should not be held responsible for the actions of the thief.

As always, the judges bring their unique perspectives to each case and engage in lively debates over the evidence presented. Will justice be served for the Airbnb landlord and tenant or the student and pawn shop owner? Tune in to find out in this engaging and thought-provoking episode of Hot Bench.
