Hot Bench Season 3 Episode 101 Which Roommate is the Evil One?; Quick! Hide the Cash in the Candy!

On this episode of Hot Bench: Which Roommate is the Evil One?; Quick! Hide the Cash in the Candy!, a legal dispute arises between two former roommates who can't decide who was the "evil" one that caused their living arrangement to implode.

The plaintiff claims that his former roommate would constantly bring over strangers to their shared apartment and was frequently inebriated, causing discomfort and making it challenging for him to focus on work. He also claims that her behavior led to his deteriorating mental health and eventual move out. The defendant argues that the plaintiff was equally responsible for their living situation falling apart, alleging that he was always uptight and difficult to live with.

Judge DiMango, Judge Acker and Judge Corriero weigh in on the case, hearing testimony from both parties and examining evidence to determine who was at fault for the downfall of this particular roommate relationship.

In addition to this roommate drama, another case is presented to the heated bench. In a separate dispute, a woman is seeking repayment from her neighbor, claiming that he stole a large sum of cash from her while they were out running errands together. The defendant denies the allegations and insists that he never took her money. However, the plaintiff reveals that she took precautions to try to protect her cash, including hiding it in a candy wrapper, leading the judges to wonder whether this strange hiding spot ultimately led to the cash disappearing.

The judges deliberate on both cases, bringing their tough, no-nonsense approach to the table as they attempt to cut through the competing narratives and ultimately render a fair and just verdict.
