- May 10, 2012
In Judge Judy season 16 episode 230, titled "Stop Smoking Pot!; Stop Drinking!; Lies and Liens," Judge Judy Sheindlin presides over three cases involving individuals who have found themselves in difficult situations due to their own actions.
The first case involves a young man who has been charged with possession of marijuana. His mother has brought him to court in the hopes of getting him to stop smoking and to pay back the money he owes her for legal fees. The defendant argues that he needs marijuana for medical reasons, but Judge Judy is not convinced. She urges him to seek professional help and to find a legal way to manage his medical issues, while also reprimanding his mother for enabling his behavior.
The second case involves a man who has a history of alcohol abuse and has been charged with driving under the influence. He is facing serious consequences, including the loss of his license and potential jail time. Judge Judy urges him to take responsibility for his actions and seek treatment for his addiction before it is too late.
The final case involves a man who has several outstanding liens against him, but claims that he is not responsible for the debts. He argues that his ex-wife is to blame for the liens, but Judge Judy dismisses his claims and orders him to pay the debts in full.
Throughout the episode, Judge Judy remains firm but fair, insisting that each individual take responsibility for their actions and make positive changes in their lives. She offers practical advice and encouragement while also keeping them accountable for their mistakes.
