Hot Bench Season 4 Episode 17 41 Days in Jail for Shooting Victim?!; I Broke Up With Him First!
- September 21, 2017
In season 4 episode 17 of Hot Bench, titled "41 Days in Jail for Shooting Victim?!; I Broke Up With Him First!", three judges preside over two cases that involve matters of the heart and serious legal consequences.
The first case involves a man who was sent to jail for 41 days after he shot his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend in self-defense. The defendant claims that he had no choice but to use force after the victim became aggressive and attacked him with a beer bottle. However, the victim argues that he was unarmed and that the defendant's violent behavior was unprovoked. The judges must weigh the evidence and determine whether the defendant's actions were justified or illegal, and what kind of punishment, if any, is appropriate.
The second case involves a woman who is suing her ex-boyfriend for the remaining balance on a loan that she claims he promised to pay off. The defendant argues that the loan was a gift, and that the plaintiff broke up with him before the debt was fully paid. The judges must examine the terms of the loan agreement and determine whether the defendant is obligated to pay the remaining balance, and whether the plaintiff's decision to end the relationship has any bearing on the matter.
Throughout both cases, the judges engage in heated debates and ask tough questions in order to uncover the truth and deliver a fair verdict. As always, the show offers a unique perspective on the legal system and the challenges of resolving complex disputes.
