Hot Bench Season 2 Episode 177 Dog Attack Extortion?!; Double-Cheating Girlfriend?!

In Hot Bench season 2 episode 177, titled "Dog Attack Extortion?!; Double-Cheating Girlfriend?!", Judge Tanya Acker presides over two cases, both of which revolve around deceit and betrayal.

In the first case, a man claims that his neighbor's dog attacked his own dog and caused serious injuries, but that the neighbor is now trying to extort him for money to pay for the vet bills. The neighbor denies this and says that her own dog was actually the one who was attacked by the man's dog, and that she simply wants him to take responsibility for his dog's actions. As the judges hear from witnesses and review photos and medical records, they must determine who is telling the truth and who is responsible for the damages.

The second case involves a man who has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend, but has recently discovered that she has been cheating on him with multiple other men. He confronts her about this and demands an explanation, but she denies everything and accuses him of being paranoid and jealous. The judges hear from both parties and their family members, and must decide whether the man's suspicions are justified and whether his girlfriend can be trusted.

Throughout both cases, Judge Acker must navigate the emotional and contentious testimony from the litigants, and carefully consider the evidence presented to her. With both cases involving high stakes and serious accusations, the judges must weigh the facts carefully and make decisions that are fair and just for all involved.
