- September 25, 2017
In Hot Bench season 4 episode 21, titled "3 Baby Mammas -- 1 Deadbeat Daddy?; Fight Over Expensive Kicks!", Judge Tanya Acker presides over a case involving a man accused of being a deadbeat dad to three different women, all of whom have children with him. The plaintiff, one of the mothers, claims that the defendant owes her thousands of dollars in child support payments and has failed to provide for his child. The defendant argues that he has been struggling financially and has been unable to make the necessary payments, but the plaintiff contends that he has been spending his money on expensive sneakers instead of his child.
Judge Acker listens to both sides and grills the defendant on his spending habits, questioning why he continues to purchase shoes that cost hundreds of dollars when he owes so much in child support. She also questions whether he truly understands his responsibilities as a father and emphasizes that his children's needs must come before his own desires. The plaintiff, meanwhile, shares her struggles in raising a child as a single mother and explains that she has been forced to take on multiple jobs just to make ends meet.
In the second case, Judge Patricia DiMango hears a dispute between two friends over a pair of rare and expensive sneakers. The plaintiff claims that the defendant promised to sell him the sneakers for a discounted price but later reneged on the deal and sold them to someone else. The defendant counters that he never agreed to sell the sneakers to the plaintiff and that he had every right to sell them to whomever he chose.
As Judge DiMango probes deeper into the case, she tries to determine whether the defendant had a verbal agreement with the plaintiff or if it was merely a misunderstanding. She also questions the value of the sneakers and whether they were truly worth the amount that the two men were arguing over. Ultimately, Judge DiMango must decide whether the defendant breached an agreement with the plaintiff and whether he owes him any financial compensation.
Throughout the episode, both judges bring their own unique perspectives and experiences to the bench, asking tough questions and offering advice to those in their courtrooms. Viewers will be kept on the edge of their seats by the intriguing and intense legal battles unfolding before them.
