Judge Mathis Season 15 Episode 116 Episode 116

Judge Mathis is a reality courtroom show that deals with various cases and disputes. The show's host and judge is Greg Mathis who presides over the cases which typically involve people from underprivileged backgrounds. He gives a fair trial to the litigants, hearing both sides of the argument and making a sound judgment from the facts presented before him.

In season 15, episode 116, Judge Mathis is presented with a case of a young mother who is claiming damages for a botched hairdo. The plaintiff, named Jessica, says that she visited the defendant's hair salon in good faith, but the hairstylist botched her hair and left it in such a mess that she had to shave it all off. She claims that this negligence caused her great physical, emotional and financial loss and trauma.

Jessica appears in court, presenting her case with the aid of her lawyer. She explains that she was in a rush to attend an important function when she walked into the defendant's hair salon. She was attended to by the defendant, whose professional conduct showed signs of negligence right from the start. Jessica claims that the defendant was rude and unprofessional, talking on the phone while attending to her.

She goes on to say that the defendant did not listen to her instructions, and instead proceeded to treat her hair with harsh chemicals that burned her scalp. When she tried to complain, the defendant dismissed her complaints and continued with the botched job. After the hair treatment was done, Jessica was horrified to see that her hair was falling out in chunks.

To make matters worse, the defendant refused to offer her any compensation and chased her out of the salon, calling her a 'crazy woman.' Feeling humiliated and devastated, Jessica decided to shave off her hair to start afresh. She claims that besides financial loss, including the cost of purchasing wigs and caps, she has lost her confidence and self-esteem.

The defendant is called to testify and presents her side of the story. She denies all allegations of negligence and fault. According to her, she treated Jessica's hair in line with her instructions, and that the hair was already in bad shape from Jessica's previous hairdo.

Furthermore, the defendant disputes that Jessica suffered any physical harm during the hair treatment, describing her as a liar. She also claims that at no point did she refuse to compensate Jessica or call her crazy. Instead, she alleges that Jessica left the salon without paying after the services were rendered.

With such contrasting testimonies on both sides of the case, Judge Mathis listens keenly to the evidence presented. He carefully considers the evidence, asks relevant questions and ultimately delivers his verdict. In the end, Judge Mathis rules on the case, fairly and without any influence from external factors.
