- January 22, 2015
Judge Mathis is a highly popular reality courtroom show where Judge Greg Mathis presides over various cases and disputes between plaintiffs and defendants from all corners of the United States. Mathis, a former Michigan district court judge, is known for his unconventional style of dispensing justice with a mix of humor, empathy, and tough love.
In Season 16, Episode 79, Judge Mathis takes on two cases. In the first case, plaintiff Erica sues her ex-boyfriend, defendant Ray, for unpaid rent after he allegedly moved out of her apartment without paying the full rent for the month. Erica claims that Ray left her with the burden of the unpaid rent and the landlord is now holding her responsible for the payment. Ray, however, denies owing Erica any money, stating that he paid the rent in full and that Erica is simply trying to extort money from him.
Judge Mathis listens to the testimonies of both parties and does not pull any punches in his questioning. He probes Erica about her evidence and tries to establish the timeline of events leading up to Ray moving out of the apartment. He also presses Ray about the payment and asks him why he did not get a receipt or make a record of the payment. After hearing all the facts, Judge Mathis delivers his judgment on the case.
In the second case, plaintiff Kendall sues the defendant, his former landlord, for illegal eviction, property damage, and unpaid rent. Kendall claims that he was forced to vacate the apartment due to the defendant's negligence and lack of maintenance leading to severe water damage in the apartment. He also alleges that the defendant wrongly kept his security deposit and owes him additional money for the damages. The defendant, on the other hand, refutes Kendall's claims, stating that he had to evict Kendall due to his failure to pay rent and causing damage to the property.
Judge Mathis again listens carefully to both sides and demands proof and evidence from the parties. He questions Kendall about his payment history and points out discrepancies in his allegations. He also questions the defendant about possible code violations in the apartment complex and the reasons for the eviction. After analyzing the evidence presented, Judge Mathis renders his verdict on the case.
Overall, Season 16, Episode 79 of Judge Mathis promises to be an engaging and thought-provoking one, showcasing the judge's legal and people skills in resolving complex disputes and delivering fair judgments.
