Hot Bench Season 2 Episode 20 Wedding Ring Repo?!; Bus-Stop Bogus Friendship?!
- September 25, 2015
Hot Bench is a courtroom-style TV show where a panel of three judges presides over and gives a verdict on legal disputes. In season 2, episode 20, titled "Wedding Ring Repo?!; Bus-Stop Bogus Friendship?!", the judges take on two cases.
The first case involves a woman who claims her wedding ring was unlawfully repossessed by a company hired by her husband's automobile dealership. The woman is seeking to recover the value of the ring, which she claims is worth $20,000. However, the repo company argues that they were simply doing their job, as the dealership had allegedly not been paid for the vehicle on which the ring was used as collateral. Past relationships between the parties involved also come into play, adding an extra layer of complexity to the case.
The second case centers around a dispute between two women who met at a bus stop and formed what one of them claims was a close friendship. However, the other woman says that their interactions were brief and superficial, and that she never considered the claimant to be a true friend. The dispute arises when the claimant says that she loaned money to the other woman, and wants it back. The other woman, in turn, argues that she never asked for the loan, and was simply trying to be polite by not rejecting the claimant's advances.
As with all episodes of Hot Bench, the judges listen closely to both sides of each case before rendering a verdict. In the end, they use their legal expertise and their own sense of justice to determine how each dispute should be resolved. With "Wedding Ring Repo?!; Bus-Stop Bogus Friendship?!", viewers can expect to see a mix of emotional testimony, legal twists and turns, and the unique perspectives of the three judges who make up the Hot Bench panel.
