  • January 9, 2017

Judge Mathis is an American reality-based court show that follows the cases presided over by retired there Judge Greg Mathis. The show first premiered in 1999 and has since become a staple of daytime television, with millions of viewers tuning in to watch Mathis dish out his brand of tough love and justice.

Season 18 of Judge Mathis has been a wild ride so far, and episode 70 promises to be no exception. While the show is known for its wide variety of cases, ranging from small claims disputes to criminal trials, this particular episode features a particularly intriguing case.

As the episode begins, we meet the plaintiff, a young woman named Rachel who is suing her former roommate, Danielle, for unpaid rent and damages to their apartment. Rachel claims that Danielle moved out of their shared apartment without warning, leaving her with the full rent to pay and a laundry list of damages to the property, including holes in the walls and broken appliances. Rachel is seeking $4,000 in damages, which she says will cover the unpaid rent, repairs to the apartment, and her own personal property that was damaged in the process.

Danielle, the defendant, begins her defense by claiming that Rachel was actually the cause of the damages and that she was the one who moved out without warning. She claims that Rachel was a terrible roommate who was always throwing parties in the apartment and causing damage to the property. Danielle also claims that Rachel was the one who owed her money for unpaid bills, and that she is actually the one who should be suing.

As the trial unfolds, it becomes clear that both parties are hiding something. Rachel admits that she did throw a few parties in the apartment, but claims that they were all pre-approved by Danielle and that any damage was accidental. Danielle, on the other hand, produces a series of text messages that she claims prove that Rachel owed her money for utilities and other bills.

As Judge Mathis listens to both sides of the story, he begins to ask some tough questions of his own. He asks Rachel why she didn't demand that Danielle pay her share of the rent when she moved out, and points out that she may be partly responsible for the condition of the apartment. He also questions Danielle's claims about the text messages and points out that they don't necessarily prove that Rachel owed her money.

In the end, Judge Mathis delivers his verdict and it's not what either party was expecting. While he agrees that Danielle owes Rachel some money for unpaid rent, he also finds that Rachel was partly responsible for the damages to the apartment. He splits the damages between the two parties, awarding Rachel $2,000 and ordering Danielle to pay $2,000 as well.

The episode doesn't end there, however. After the verdict is delivered, Judge Mathis takes some time to offer some advice to both parties. He reminds Rachel that it's important to be proactive about things like unpaid rent and damages, and urges her to be more assertive in the future. He also advises Danielle to be more honest in her dealings with others, and tells her that she needs to work on building better relationships with the people in her life.

Overall, episode 70 of Judge Mathis is a classic example of the type of drama and excitement that viewers have come to expect from this long-running series. It offers a compelling story, complex characters, and ultimately, a resolution that feels fair and just.
