That child was coached. A 6 year old child wouldn’t know if a car was speeding or not, and the last thing a 6 year old is going to think that his father thought the plaintiff was going to hurt his family
So the kid KNEW the plaintiff was speeding, but had to be told to get out of the road by his mom? Sounds like he was repeating something he heard from his parents.
There's no doubt in my mind a 6 year old had the opinion of "he backed up and I thought he was going to hurt us!" That's the direct dribble bs from his parents mouth
Kid was definitely coached. He was stating what his dad thought and why he acted the way he did. An older witness would have been told, "That calls for the operation of his mind!"
Late at night, 6 year old kid, wearing black, crossing where there's a blind curve while his parents are right there but not even holding his hand. Young Judge Judy was much more tolerant than she is now
Oh come on a young man in a sporty car, I think he probably was speeding repeatedly. I know many men who drive differently with their partner in the car, which is why she doesn't think he speeds.
Do they know how impossible it would be, to drive 60 miles an hour in a residential? I see people who aren't even going that fast on a freeway with no obstacles to avoid.
Defendant is a hot head and poor example for his child.... do as I say and not as I do, does not cut it. One has to set an example. If indeed, the young man was speeding, take the license number and call the police. I am conflicted as to if he was actually speeding, for I strongly doubt he would have stopped and backed up, but regardless, no punching others.
He was definitely speeding. People don't get so upset over a car just driving by. However, punching the guy isn't going to stop him from driving like an idiot. "Why would he back up?". He backed up because he was irritated that the parents yelled at him. If the Defendant hadn't had a prior assault charge, the Plaintiff probably would have gotten $500 pain and suffering, instead of the 1k.
I think he was flagged down by the wife and the husband got upset and punched him for not minding his business. People probably do drive fast in that route and the defendants used that as an excuse for his behavior. He has an history of assault and the plaintiff has no history of driving tickets.
Maybe the plaintiff wasn't speeding but was distracted enough not to have seen the child. Anyways, he appeared to be a respectful person though. I'm just curious as to how JJ speculated that the defendant had prior assault charges😂 That comes from experience I must say.
I mean... I didn't know you were there. If I were speeding and some woman started waving and the like, would you stop and back up? He said he did, the defendants kid said he backed up... I don't think he was actually speeding.
@@JustAJinx-ci6hg Why was she waving at him? Because she said he was speeding. Also, kid got caught in a lie. He didn't say mom pushed him out the way as she wanted you to have though.
@@JustAJinx-ci6hg I'm not really sure what you mean by this?????? I'm from an area where people wave "hi" but they should have mentiond facial expressions and such.... oh well, i don't care...
No, the dad meant after the incident had taken place, that they went home, and he explained, you don't hit someone to his son because his son witnessed his wrong doing at the scene.
Neighborhood hothead takes law into own hands and sucker punches guy sitting down in car. I feel bad for the little kid. Young guy learns there are crazy people in the world and keep on going when crazy wants to talk.
I definitely believe he was speeding…. Why would the guy punch him for NOTHING!!! It doesn’t make the punch right but I definitely believe it’s for a REASON!! And any of you would be absolutely angry if your kid was crossing the road and someone was speeding down the road
@@kyoto32001he absolutely DID. It is NEVER okay to physically hurt ANYONE out of anger. Everyone was fine, so the reaction wasn’t necessary. HE COULD’VE KILLED HIM with that punch. People can die from just 1 punch to the Head. If he was speeding than that’s understandable, but there was no basis here that justifies him punching the Guy. There was no proof of the Plaintiffs wrong-doing and The Parents could’ve either let it slide or called the Police but they DIDN’T, even though the Mother never actually did anything. All in front of their Child. Sinewavedream is right, we clearly saw with both the Father’s own actions and words that he had anger management issues and he would’ve known. Although Judy never justified it.
@ my bad. Heck yeah, because the Father got lucky. He is gonna kill someone if he doesn’t get the help he needs. Might be a bit of an overreaction but the Kid needed to be taken from them since the Father didn’t even give the Plaintiff a chance to get out of the Car before getting violent. If he’s alive and good now, then that Boy is lucky because even Judy should’ve called Social Services and one look at this Video and that will be all they need. I’m just confused on why that didn’t even cross her mind in the Video given that she was a Judge and used to work for a Family Court. Now that I actually think about it, they told the Kid to lie, and also wouldn’t it make more sense to pull your kid rather than push them? What was a 6-year-old doing not holding his Mum’s Hand while crossing a Road? That’s a bit odd in my opinion.
Plaintiff was speeding. Defendant should not punch a person for speeding. Both can be true. People speed down our street all the time. I keep my kid out of the street. I do yell at them to slow down, but no one should lay hands on another.
If the defendant does that in the wrong state he will be seeing the inside of a morgue quicker than he thinks. Don't put your hands on people especially in a stand your ground state or it may not turn out very good for you.
Almost doesnt count. If a child runs out in the middle of the road and you were going the speed limit.. you can almost hit a child. It is certainly no reason to hit someone over.
“I never even saw his child.” Even more reason to slow down. That comment tells me he’s not paying attention when he drives. The defendant was at fault and deserved the judgement. Defendant held his head pretty high as he talked about assault charges, he’s going to continue to punch people when he feels he’s justified. This episode is filmed in the 90’s, I wonder if defendant finally ended up in jail for punching someone else.
I personally believe the plaintiff that the wife was flagging him down. Defendant has an history of assault and the plaintiff has no history of driving tickets. The little boy was also obviously coached. I’m with the plaintiff on that one.
Why is a child crossing a road at midnight? Sounds like domestic violence goes on a lot in that home. She probably WAS flagging him down to save her from her abusive husband.
Was the family crossing at in intersection or cross-walk? I'm surprised Judge Judy didn't ask. I feel like this guy is always flipping out about this issue. I'm glad he took responsibility for his violent actions, for his son's sake anyway.
Weather the plaintiff was speeding or not this guy had no right to hit him and not for nothing why are you letting your child play in the street where you know speeding happens all the time that make these parents negligent and stupid for allowing it so if their child were to get hurt or worse killed I feel the parents would bear some of the blame in that because they kept allowing it to happen
While physical assault is unacceptable and JJ cannot prove that the reckless driver was speeding - even though it's obvious he was - I wouldn't want either of these men in my neighborhood and both share a moral responsibility. Legally, only one admits wrongdoing so I agree with JJ. But come on, it's clear he was speeding. He even said afterwards that he did not see the child.
I bet the kid was speeding, my guess is 35mph. People in my neighborhood are like the Karen Police and scream at you even doing 35mph in a 30mph. Also can’t punch someone, next time the driver could be packing a gun, the guy is LUCKY.
The plaintiff is a liar. He was speeding and Judge Judy knew it. The defendant had to pay so much because Judge Judy is teaching him a lesson about anger issues. The plaintiff's girlfriend was not there so she can say only what she thinks not what she knows. As for the boy I believe him. As for the comments about being coached, I do not think so. All of my children at his age were mature for their age and would have been able to do the same thing.
Let's say the plaintiff did drive recklessly and almost hit the defendant's son. Then why wouldn't he just keep going rather than stopping and rolling down the window to be punched by that big angry defendant? I don't find the plaintiff's good Samaritan explanation credible, so what would be his motivation for stopping? Maybe the plaintiff thought he had to stop because he did do something serious, e.g. ran over the son.
Both are in the wrong homeboy was speeding and the dad was being a papa bear. Idk how some people are raised but when you mess with parents kids you have to deal with the parents. Yes it wasn’t right to punch him but also he shouldn’t have been speeding. I don’t care if you say I’ve never gotten a ticket before etc etc it’s cause you weren’t caught. Many people I know don’t get speeding
Why would that guy just come up and punch the other one for no reason if he'd never seen ir met him before? But ...at the same time the lady said she had to push her son out of the street but the little boy said she screamed get out of the street?? Idk ..
The kid was parroting the parents. And not very well. The mother said she PUSHED her kid out of the way, the kid said he was in the road goin got his dad, and he ran across to his dad. SO who's lying the mother of the kid? I am surprised Judy did not point that out. The plaintiff is more is more believable, than the BS the parents are spouting. And the look on the defendant when Judy started asking about his history, looked like he was about to run up and punch her.
Plaintiff is so full of shit. Young adult in a CRX? It's mixture for disasters (speed). He knows it and his girlfriend defending it is idiotic. They'll see in the future how it is when you have kids to defend. Oh, we're in the future already. Is he still alive?
@@CrystalCylinder069 Maybe "bith" was supposed to be "bitch" and "nore" was supposed to be "more". (Not that I agree with the corrected statement, just clarifying.)
The Plaintiff was speeding down the road , both Plaintiff and witness are lying , shouldn't have hit him thou , but the defendant is very lucky he wasn't shot after hitting the guy or before..

I'm not sure who to believe in this case. What I'm sure of is that the Defendant shouldn't have hit the Plaintiff
You probably would also let a robber inside and smile and just say take whatever you need and let him go without shooting him

@shendisackett While that could be most likely, we still don't know for sure
EASY, the fat defendants are LIARS.
Everyone saying the plaintiff was speeding, etc. That still does not mean the guy had a right to punch him in the face. JJ made the right decision.
He wasn't speeding. They cannot prove it either. Anyone saying that like Trekgirl65 is a moron.
Do they know how impossible it would be, to drive 60 miles an hour in a residential? I see people who aren't even going that fast on a freeway with no obstacles to avoid.
They're lying and teaching their kid to lie too. I'm so glad they had to pay.

That kid was sooo prepped, I don't think a six year old would say "slammed on the breaks"
I could be wrong but the defendant gives me wife-beater vibes! The wife seemed extremly anxious to me. 👀
Yep.
I agree
YES
Thats why the wife was flagging down strangers to help
@ I agree. Thatˋs a strange thing to come up with just to prove a point in court. I hope the mother and son are safe nowadays!

The wife was IMO running away from her violent husband and the husband got the wife and kid to lie for Judge Judy.
Oh you sweet summer child. I was once screamed at because I came withing 5 feet of the front of guys truck with a bag of cans in a parking lot.
Maybe don't cross the street when a car is coming? ALSO, that kid was thoroughly coached as to what to say.
Maybe the plaintiff wasn't speeding but was distracted enough not to have seen the child. Anyways, he appeared to be a respectful person though.
I'm just curious as to how JJ speculated that the defendant had prior assault charges😂 That comes from experience I must say.
Defendant looks 100% like trouble! Maybe even wife-beater! 🫣
Well most people don't go around hitting people, and if you are one of them people, it's prob happened more than once.
Modern day JJ would NEVER give that man $1000 for pain and suffering. Especially if she believed he was speeding.

Minus the 'night stick'.

Judge Judy rules!!!
Agreed. I'm glad she imposed punitive damages.
Bet he stopped speeding lol
You not seeing the child is the main reason you are there. Even if you are 10mph you still almost hit a child.
Midnight. It was around midnight. Sounds like the child was crossing the street by himself. The son said he was crossing to get to his dad
STAY OUT OF THE ROAD! car had right of way
Almost doesnt count. If a child runs out in the middle of the road and you were going the speed limit.. you can almost hit a child.
