Hot Bench Season 5 Episode 79 Cigar Rage!
- December 19, 2018
A man's smoking habit lands him in court as his neighbor sues him for causing health issues. The plaintiff claims that the defendant's frequent cigar smoking is causing her and her family to experience breathing difficulties, and she demands that he stops smoking in his backyard. She also seeks compensation for damages caused by the secondhand smoke. The defendant argues that he has the right to smoke on his own property and that the plaintiff's health problems cannot be attributed to his smoking alone. He also argues that the plaintiff had previously agreed to a compromise where he would only smoke during certain hours. As the judges hear both sides of the case, they must determine whether the defendant's smoking is a nuisance, whether the plaintiff's health issues are directly caused by the smoke, and whether the alleged compromise was a binding agreement. The judges engage in a heated debate, with Judge Judy Sheindlin accusing one of her colleagues of being too lenient on the defendant. As the case unfolds, tensions rise and emotions flare, leading to a dramatic conclusion that leaves everyone surprised. Hot Bench's season 5 episode 79 titled "Cigar Rage!" is an intense and gripping courtroom drama that tackles the issue of smoking and its effects on neighbors.
