The 40th episode of season 6 of Hot Bench is titled "The Teen Tagger and the Squirrel-Hunting Pit Bull?!" In this episode, Judge Acker presides over a case in which a teenager is accused of tagging a neighbor's property with graffiti. The plaintiff claims that the teenager caused damage that requires over $1,000 to repair. However, the defendant's mother argues that her son didn't do it, and that they have no evidence linking him to the incident. In fact, the mother claims that her son was at home with her at the time of the alleged incident. But the plaintiff has photographic evidence that puts the teenager at the scene of the crime.
Meanwhile, Judge DiMango hears a case involving a neighbor's pit bull who has been hunting squirrels on the plaintiff's property. The plaintiff is seeking compensation for the damage the dog has done, including destroyed plants and a broken fence. The defendant argues that the plaintiff was aware of the dog's hunting instincts and should have taken proper precautions. The plaintiff counters that no pets should be allowed to roam free and cause damage to another's property.
In the third case, Judge Corriero handles a lawsuit between friends who went into business together. The plaintiff claims that the defendant mismanaged their business and is now demanding her share of the profits owed to her. The defendant argues that the plaintiff violated the terms of their partnership agreement which led to the business's downfall.
Throughout the episode, the judges listen to each side's arguments and examine the evidence presented. With their years of experience and legal knowledge, they assess the credibility of each party and make a fair and just decision based on the facts at hand.
