Judge Faith Season 1 Episode 8 Irresponsible; Hit and Split

In Judge Faith season 1 episode 8, titled "Irresponsible; Hit and Split," two cases are brought before the court.

The first case revolves around a woman who claims that her former friend and roommate owes her money for various bills and expenses that she covered while they were living together. The plaintiff asserts that her former friend was irresponsible with money and never paid her back for the expenses she covered, causing financial strain on her own finances. The defendant counters that the plaintiff knew what she was getting into when they lived together and that she had agreed to cover the expenses at the time. Judge Faith must determine if there was an agreement made between the two parties or if the defendant owed the plaintiff money for the expenses she covered.

The second case involves a man who claims that his car was hit by another driver who then fled the scene without providing any contact information or insurance information. The plaintiff asserts that he was able to take a picture of the license plate of the other car and wants to be compensated for the damage caused in the hit-and-run. The defendant asserts that he was not aware of any accident and that he was not driving at the time of the alleged incident. Judge Faith must determine if the plaintiff can prove the defendant was responsible for the hit-and-run and if he is entitled to compensation for the damages caused.

Throughout the episode, Judge Faith hears testimony from both sides, examines evidence, and asks pointed questions to determine the truth behind each case. In the end, she delivers her verdict and provides insight into the legal reasoning behind her decisions. The episode serves as an example of the kinds of disputes that are commonly brought before small claims courts and highlights the importance of being responsible and accountable for one's actions.
