Hot Bench Season 7 Episode 107 Parenting During the Pandemic; Good Samaritan Electrician?

In season 7, episode 107 of Hot Bench, the two judges, Tanya Acker and Patricia DiMango, welcome a guest judge, Internet sensation Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, to their courtroom. The first case of the day deals with a mother who is seeking full custody of her child after her ex-husband failed to comply with their parenting agreement during the pandemic. The parents have been unable to agree on the child's online schooling schedule and the father had failed to follow proper COVID-19 safety protocols.

The mother argues that the father's lack of responsibility and disregard for COVID-19 safety measures have put their child's health at risk. She believes that granting her full custody is in the best interest of the child's health and safety during the pandemic. The father, on the other hand, claims that he has been following the guidelines set by the state and the issue is merely a disagreement over scheduling. He argues that he should not lose custody as a result.

As Judge Aquilina joins the bench, the judges must consider the facts presented and determine what is in the child's best interest. The case raises important questions about co-parenting during the pandemic and highlights how custody agreements can be disrupted during a crisis.

In the second case, the judges hear a dispute between a homeowner and a good Samaritan electrician who had repaired some faulty electrical wiring in the plaintiff's home. However, after the electrician completed the repairs, the plaintiff claimed that he had caused additional damage to the home's electrical system. The plaintiff is seeking compensation to cover the costs of the additional repairs.

The electrician, on the other hand, argues that he did not cause any further damage and that the plaintiff is simply trying to take advantage of him. He claims that he performed his job to the best of his ability and that any issues with the home's electrical system were pre-existing.

As the judges hear both sides of the dispute, they must determine who is responsible for the damage to the home and whether or not the electrician should be liable for additional repair costs.

Throughout the episode, the judges use their legal expertise and experience to carefully consider the evidence presented in both cases before making their final decisions. The show provides a unique look into the judicial process and how judges must balance competing interests and priorities in their decision-making.
