- May 21, 2013
In season 17 episode 237 of Judge Judy, titled Start-Up Failure | Popcorn Stuck in a Child's Ear!, viewers are taken through two separate cases that require judgment. The first case is centered around a failed start-up business and the investment that was made in it. The second case involves a young child getting popcorn stuck in their ear at a movie theater.
In the first case, a man is suing his former business partner for $10,000. The plaintiff claims that he invested the money into a start-up business with the defendant but alleges that the defendant mismanaged the funds and did not use them for the intended purpose. The defendant denies the plaintiff's claims and argues that the business failed due to unforeseen circumstances and not because of any wrongdoing on their part.
Throughout the case, Judge Judy listens to both parties' arguments and questions them on the specifics of the investment and business operations. The judge also brings in a financial expert to review the records of the start-up and determine where the money went. In the end, Judge Judy delivers her verdict on whether the defendant must repay the plaintiff for the failed business venture.
The second case involves a mother who is suing a movie theater for negligence after her child got popcorn stuck in their ear. The mother claims that the theater should have warned her about the dangers of giving popcorn to a young child and that the theater staff did not handle the situation properly when it occurred. The theater argues that the mother should have been more careful and that they acted appropriately when the incident occurred.
During the case, Judge Judy questions both parties and reviews the evidence brought forth. She also calls in a medical expert to determine the extent of the child's injuries and the potential long-term effects. With this information, Judge Judy is able to make a decision on whether the theater is responsible for the child's injuries.
Overall, start-up failure and a child's safety are at the center of this episode of Judge Judy. The judge must weigh the evidence and testimony in both cases in order to come to a fair and just decision. As always, Judge Judy brings her no-nonsense and direct approach to the courtroom as she works to find a resolution for those seeking justice.
