Who knows?

Anyway its a TV show. Ever wondered how much these people are paid to appear on the show? I think its MORE than the amount they are fighting over.

This is pretty old. I saw the episode and I don’t watch it much. I think they like replaying it. It is a fun video and was shocking at the end. I was glad!

I believe the participants have to agree to drop any lawsuits pertaining to the case in order to be on the program!!

At 16 minutes and 34 seconds the judge says QUOTE Miss Owens, I'm dismissing your case. I'm going to tell you why I am dismissing your case. ... Miss Owens, your case is dismissed. That's all. UNQUOTE And then the Bailiff instructs the defendant and the plaintiff, QUOTE The parties are excused you may step out. UNQUOTE

The Judge had clearly dismissed the case and court proceedings were now over. The judge stood up to leave the courtroom.

The paintiff McDaniels proceeded to leave the courtroom and was walking down the aisleway to leave the courtroom. The judge then shouted from a standing position after dismissing the case and ordering the clearing of the courtroom, QUOTE Oh by the way, one more question. Over here. Do you have a lawsuit ? UNQUOTE

IMO, the plaintiff McDaniels should have kept walking because the case had already been dismissed and the judge had already ordered the courtroom to be cleared.

No judge can bring a courtroom back into session and the proceedings restarted again as an afterthought. As I already said, the judge had already dismissed the case and had already ordered the courtroom cleared. Those are the facts.

The judge had absolutely NO BUSINESS in penalising the plaintiff after the court had already been dismissed and the courtroom already ordered to be cleared. IMO, the after court ruling of $5000.00 had absolutely NO BASIS in law.

I don’t get the ending. On a note not related, the defendant is chubby, but has a very pretty face.

I couldn’t get any sound. I checked my speakers and they are working just fine. It doesn’t look like anyone else had this problem, though.

As a layperson I thought it may have struck her at the last minute that in fact there was no police report and the defendants wish to sue would be aided by a dismissal.
