Hot Bench Season 4 Episode 87 Landlord Gets Schooled!; Three-Car Pile-Up Insult!
- December 6, 2017
In season 4 episode 87 of Hot Bench, titled "Landlord Gets Schooled!; Three-Car Pile-Up Insult!," viewers are taken through two unique cases in the courtroom.
The first case involves a landlord and a tenant. The tenant claims that the landlord is harassing her and refuses to repair damages to her unit, while the landlord argues that the tenant is not paying rent and should therefore be evicted. Judge Tanya Acker takes on the case and immediately notices inconsistencies in the landlord's story. As the case continues, the tenant's frustration with her living situation becomes more apparent, and Judge Acker is struck by the human toll of the fight between the landlord and tenant.
In the second case, a woman is suing two other drivers for damages she incurred in a car accident. The woman claims that the two other drivers caused a three-car pile-up, while both drivers deny fault and blame the woman for the collision. Judge Patricia DiMango tries to piece together the events leading up to the accident, but information from all parties involved is murky and conflicting.
As the judges deliberate on both cases, they grapple with the difficulties of discerning the truth in complicated situations where multiple perspectives must be considered. Both cases demonstrate how the smallest interactions and misunderstandings can lead to long-term legal battles, and the importance of listening to all sides in order to reach a fair and just verdict.
