Judge Judy Season 1 Episode 134 Deadly car wreck; fired employee.
- March 21, 1997
In episode 134 of Judge Judy season 1, titled "Deadly Car Wreck; Fired Employee," two cases are presented in front of Judge Judy. The first case deals with a tragic car accident that took place when a driver, who is being sued, allegedly ran a red light and collided with another vehicle, which resulted in the death of a passenger in the other car. The plaintiff is the mother of the deceased passenger, and she is seeking compensation from the defendant for the loss of her child and other damages.
The defendant claims that the plaintiff's son was partially responsible for the accident as he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the incident. However, the plaintiff argues that her son was a responsible person who always wore his seatbelt and that the defendant is solely responsible for the accident. Judge Judy carefully examines the evidence presented by both parties, including testimonies from witnesses and police reports, before finally coming to a decision.
In the second case, a former employee is suing his employer for wrongful termination. The plaintiff was working at the defendant's company as a telemarketer, and he claims that he was fired without any warning or reason. The defendant claims that the plaintiff was fired because of poor performance and inappropriate behavior towards other employees.
Judge Judy hears testimony from both parties and goes through the evidence presented by each side. During the case, it becomes apparent that the plaintiff had a history of behavioral issues at work, including being late for work and engaging in inappropriate conduct towards other employees. Ultimately, Judge Judy has to decide whether the defendant was justified in firing the plaintiff or not.
Overall, the episode deals with two complex legal cases, both of which require Judge Judy to weigh evidence and make difficult decisions. It illustrates the importance of having a fair and impartial judge who is committed to upholding the law and ensuring that justice is served.
