- The plaintiff says he bought an accordion from the defendant and was told it was in perfect working order. He claims he brought it to an expert when he got it home and found out wires were corroded, so he’s suing for a refund. The defendant says she was selling her grandfather’s accordion and that a wire was missing, but it still worked.
case 29-374
The defendant was mad as hell when she was being interviewed.
LMAOO no she really was 😂
She was mad mad.
Big mad!!! Lmbo!!!
Yeah she should learn to be a little less sketch, and a bit more honest
Because she already spent that $500
The lady who played it seemed like a fun person! Lol
I was so proud of her
agree ❤
Her family are Germans from Argentina... 😐😐😐
@@farhanhkhan87 I had the same thought. "Gramps always had a weird way to wave hello."
Yes; most musicians are fun people.
Without geri this case just wouldn't be the same.
I was grinning from ear to ear to see her play that piece of junk. That was fun and exciting to watch ☺️
What were the odds that an actual accordion player would be sitting in the courtroom during that precise case?!
@@terencedove5047
I would say slim to none but I would be wrong lol.
@@nickhill8612 ...actually, you'd be quite right, oddswise. The probability of that occurring is so very rare. The only other way is for the show to actually plant an accordion player in the audience that day...and I highly doubt that would happen. Just saying...🤔
@@terencedove5047 I originally thought it was a plant, but honestly she was so genuine being happy, nervous, excited and a little embarrassed, it was all just too real for her to be a plant haha I loved her she was so adorable
Jerry absolutely stole the show😂! Bravo young lady! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
So right, and so unexpected.
Jerry should have been sworn in as an expert witness!
It's spelled Geri when it's a Female..
@@xman4328 How do the Nazi’s spell it?
@@xman4328 What about Jeri Ryan from Star Trek: Voyager and Picard?
Missed opportunity for the judge to say “that’s accordion to the law.”
hahahaha. Great one..
🤭
😂🤣😂🤣
@@lilme2me it just seemed so obvious to me lol
That should be the subheading of the case in this video. "Accordion To The Law". Brilliant.
What an amazing story this woman gets to tell for the rest of her life I played the accordion in the People's Court
that part is fun, but I'd think twice before saying that my family is german and lives in argentina 🥲
@@brunolidade one of hitlers kids,
It definitely sounds sus, but there are tons of Germans in Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Peru. Some may have been fleeing war crimes but even more of them were fleeing the turmoil of Germany after both wars.
The lady from the audience was so nice!
She seem like a sweet and happy person ❤️
And so cool! I smiled the whole time she played ❤️❤️
And she was also fun.
And related to Nazis! :D
Every time that girl opens her mouth she makes herself look like a fool.
Thank you!! So true...😂
Black hearts stain every sentence
She's mad because she tried to pull a fast one and got sued. While she was trying to be smart at the end she made her self looking a fool.
I think she really did think it worked and that all it needed was the cord to the amp. And that she didn’t know about the internal wires.
Agree!!
@@somebodywatchin no because if her dad really played it it would've shown the other side didn't work.
Perfectly said Vanessa. That little lady must be watched. All she wanted was the cash and couldn't care less about the buyer. Little did she know who she was messing with! :) By the way, the "someone else is interested" line is older than water.
The old man is a bigger con, buying an accordion for his 32 year old son so he can learn. What his 32 year old son can't go out and buy his own accordion? I'm betting the old guy did know how to play the accordion.
Defendant: This guy doesn't know how to play the accordion, we'll be fine.
Judge: DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW HOW TO PLAY AN ACCORDION?
Geri: *this is my time to shine*
Love how when Jerry said she was German and from Argentina, the judge was like oh you've probably said too much, if you know you know
NAZI'S!😬
@@phoenixl6877 Maybe her ancestors immigrated before World War II. If you were better educated, you would know North America wasn’t the only continent in the Americas that Europeans immigrated to. South America has a long history of German immigration prior to WW2.
Her family definitely fled to Argentina to escape prosecution 😂
Defenetly Natzis lol
@@phoenixl6877 maroon!!
The plaintiff obviously isn’t used to women speaking over him and controlling the conversation.
Yupp lol
He's an old guy, why is that surprising?
No one should be used to people speaking over top of them when they are trying to talk........
@@miffedcuttlefish6139 TYPICAL OLDER EUROPEAN = DISRESPECTFUL
@Qyx nah, she said that because he was literally "explaining" what the judge was telling the girl, as if the judge was incapable of doing it herself.
Its just NOT a complete episode when Judge M. Doesn't say "Thaaaaaaaank You Douglas "!😔
Yeah she whispered it basically lol. She only said “thank you” lol
Why can he call her ma’am?
Yeah yeah. We’ve heard it before...
Omg I thought I was the only one!
@@kenny2006sp because he didn't iniciate the dialog, basically. it's still a respectiful way of replaying and it doesn't diminish her position.
"I don't need you to man-splain"
🤣😂
“It’s in our blood…” but I don’t know how to play it, or care to learn myself, so I’ll have my son do it lmao
I was thinking the same thing 😂😂
The plaintiff sounds ridiculous!! Making his 32 year old son do something.... like play the accordion. 🤦♀️
@@elainevankat5353 Agreed! Lol
It's nowhere nearn the worst thing a parent said on this show.
I'd like to know why his reason for buying it had anything to do with anything. What difference did it make to the case why he bought it? It was completely irrelevant. The point is he bought it, period.
Defendant is full of it. If it truly worked perfectly she would have gladly given the guy his money back and sold it for more to someone else.
Shorty was pissed at the end when he was asking her questions. 🤣🤣
You seen that shit right lol. She checked him with her eyes and all.
She was all up in her feelings! Almost started crying. 🤣
Right! Definitely was getting ready to cry. 😂😂
@@deecee90. She was about ready to mad cry . 😆
Rightttt lmaooo
GERI WAS AWESOME🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻
best episode ever with the audience member
The young lady has an attitude and verbal diarrhea, the plaintiff is an overbearing individual, that needs to be in control.
The winner here is Gerri, the accordion playing audience member! 🎶
You nailed it 👍🏼
Legally, the plaintiff is in the right. Personal opinions aside, the legal facts of the case dictate that, with the judge making her decision.
@@AP-xw5px I guess about the same amount you nit-pic an opinion of a fabricated TV show without actually explaining the fallacy of what you critique.
She had a stanky attitude at the end. Spoil spoil spoiled.
I was so proud of that woman from the audience when she started playing
Lol why? All she did was play. She was enthusiastic about it and jumped at the chance to be on tv and play for the audience. Most folks who play instruments love any occasion and seize every opportunity to entertain others. She was happy and wanted to do it. That’s what musicians do, they love playing for people. So what’s the big deal omg.
@@phill8395So why the big rant and put down? OMG.
German by way of Argentina... hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Lol right! When the judge said”you’ve said too much”, I was like mhmmm, sounds like her family was running from being on the wrong side of history in Nazi Germany
Nazzzziiiiiiii
Yes, there is a lot of German people in South America and even North America, Mexico. Most likely in these places due to their ancestors fleeing Nazi Germany.
@@cdub3019 yeah but not fleeing from the Nazi's themselves otherwise they would've likely gone to the US, Canada, etc. They were fleeing the Allies cuz they knew they did some dirty shit.
@@cmltron8262 🤦🏽♀️ 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ woooow, how did i forget THOSE rascals?? Very true, they were the ones of means 💰 💵 to be able to afford to leave the country and not have to face the consequences of their actions. Thank you for reminding me! You see, i myself come from a long family line of always being on the suffering end of power and money not the wielding-end of it, so I always think of the victims first.
Gerri was the star witness in this case. Thank you, Gerri.
One of the best episodes, getting the audience involved. Literally “the people’s court”👍🏾
We’d like for Geri to be a regular on this show. Thanks.
Hahaha yeah totally! Also I see you commenting a lot I think we have similar taste in YT videos lol
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me! This is the real Geri! I love reading your comments!
Geri you stole the show
A bright ray of sunshine in the court room
did y’all peep how the dude looked at her when she said they’re “ friends” when they first walked in he grabbed her by the waist to move her to the side 💀💀
Burned 😂😂😂
They looked like brother and sister to me.
He didn't look any specific way after she said that, he actually slightly nodded and said yes. At the beginning, where he nudged her by her waist though ...
I peeped that out also omg lol
Had to go back and check. Your on point with that. It’s a very intimate action.
Seeing how irritated she was while being interviewed was oddly satisfying. She reminds me of the girls I used to go to school with that would talk back to teachers in 1st period while eating hot Cheetos with chamoy 😭😭
💯 I’d have just laughed in her face too when she asked him “what you want me to do with it”, like idk chick throw that shit in the garbage 🗑 it’s broken 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣 not chamoy 🤣🤣
The hot Cheetos are so spot on lol
Haha for real though
Or takis...
The plaintiff loves the Accordion (it’s in his blood!). But, he never bothered to learn to play! LOL!🤦♀️
Yeah and wants his son to learn to play so he can play it for him! 😳🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
I see this a lot. My father loved the piano but never had the opportunity to learn. He had all three of his kids play and now since he's retired, I'm trying to teach him. But he's kinda slow at it lol
He’s Italian. It comes with the territory. You dream of playing the accordion but never learn.
@@mikesteele05 Why just dream about it... do it!
That’s why he is teaching his kid and grandkid duh 🙄
The interviewer Doug: So what are you going to do with the accordion now that you have to buy it back?
Defendant: I don't know, what am I supposed to do with it?
Doug: Ok, you can leave.
They're both sounding bad. The Old man is rude and a chaotic storyteller. The girl says "It's not like I told him everything was good. I just guessed."
"I do not know nothing about the accordion." Brilliant.
@@DrFrankenschtein yes does a double negative make a positive
Agree!
Seriously hard to follow both sides story! Lol
The old man was never rude. 🙄🙄
I didn't think anyone could ever steal the show from JM, but Geri did it! You go girl!
Imagine having to deal with that girl on a daily basis.
Oh dear lord, I would probably jump off of a bridge. 🤣
She was annoying , mouthy and dumb
“You may leave!” -Doug. 😂🤣😭🤣😂
Both the plaintiff and defendant were annoying as hell lol
Saved by the accordion player
The accordion player deserved the round of the applause she received (3:19-5:32)! She may not have been as professional on the instrument as others might have hoped, but she was definitely and thoroughly entertaining…
She may well have been though if it had actually worked
@@lapelcelery42 Yes ,like all buttons on the other side
What are the odds there would be an accordion player in the audience, YEAH RIGHT! 😆💯

Her little attitude at the end was uncalled for, you got yourself into this mess, learn from it and humble yourself moving forward.
What attitude? She lost, you want her to be gracious about it? Get real
I'm an accordion specialist and I'm laughing a lot at problems that are so simple to solve.
Defendant was NOT happy in that hallway 😂
That’s putting it mildly.
salty
That old man didn't know when to shut up. The judge put him right in his place.
You can tell he is an old guy used to telling women what to do, not listening to them.
@@Childfree334 it's the whole moschismo thing
He was commenting like humans do. Men and women both do it. Granted it was out of court order. Many times women on the show do the same. She does throw a tantrum and say woman-splaining but she had to say man-slaining. Misandry MUCH and VERY sexist. I'm sick of that attitude that's so popular these days. The pendulum will swing back in time. I hope in time the judge will eat her words.
He old school male… lol
Marilyn is so damn rude to him... disgusting ...
This old guy has a problem with women.
The judge has a problem with men. She is a man hater.
@@edwinholcombe2741 Absolutely agree!
The girl is so rude at end... No respect! No manners! 😡👎
Agree! With that attitude....Glad she lost!
Doug can be an a**hole sometimes to though. Here he wasn't but I've seen plenty where he's just so rude and I want the person who lost to turn around and cuss him out sometimes lol
I don't need u to MANSPLAIN!!! lol She loves throwing that word at men...fair judgement tho.
She only says that to men who try to disregard what she is saying and put their own spin on things. She does not say that to all male litigants.
So why not spew sexist words out at females who do the same?
@@edwinholcombe2741 She tells them in other ways that only women who are pre, during or post menopause can understand.

This was a fun case, thanks Gerri! Let's polka🙂
Audience member: “my family’s from Argentina and we’re German”
Judge Milan: “oh you’re already said too much lol”
Oh man !!
The expert witness was imho no expert accordion player. If she would have tried to press the shifts she would probably have unmuted it. She didn’t even know about amplification. Also, that cable is not the real way to connect it to the two boxes. There is a dedicated firing cable that was not even discussed.
Her true bad attitude came out while talking to Doug. You know she’s going to sell it again.
Her true attitude showed from the very beginning!!!
No i really need to start a thread of Dougs shadiest moments 🤣🤣🤣 he be havin me weak
Girl same!! "You may leave" 🤣🤣🤣 he does the most!!
That guy was such a misogynist. He literally told the defendant to stop talking like she was a child. Glad the Judge called him out.
She is ! 😅 Dumb asl
Respect to "Gerry" but on accordions of this type, the bass buttons can be muted by pressing one of the black register keys. This accordion has five (situated above the black buttons on the left hand keyboard.) I notice that the player doesn't seem to have checked this before or during playing.) The fact that none of the bass keys played would indicate that the register key hadn't "registered" or was switched in the "off" position. So, it doesn't appear to be a cable problem at all.
“Weird” Al Yankovic would’ve played that accordion way better.
She don’t get it, she just wanna talk! Lmao
I owned and played a Cordovox exactly like that one. I still have the accordion part of it. The cords that connect everything together is stored in the back of one of those speaker boxes. It usually took me 15 to 30 minutes to connect everything. That cable the man bought, had nothing to do with connecting it.
7:38. Loving the lady in the audience shaking her head when the defendant says it needs another wire to work. Lol
Geri! Geri! Geri!
This was a case of the blind leading the blind. A plaintiff buying an intrument he knows nothing about from a defendant selling an instrument she knows nothing about. At least the defendant has the naivety of youth as a defense.
The defendant keeps talking but then saying she doesn't know. 🥴
Typical dummy!!
What actually are the odds of a random audience member being an accordion player? That’s insane! 🙌
Really she is lying if you are trained to play the accordion than you know just like the guitar there is electric and acoustic accordions accordion. A the same time $500 is super low for an accordion e should have known something was up.
I can't tell if the defendant is naive or if she was a scammer. What do y'all think?
I think a little bit of both. She doesn't seem like someone that would know a lot about accordions. But she probably knows the game well enough...
I think she was naive
Scammer. Salty at the end
Total scammer ...it probably went back on FB Marketplace that afternoon...

@@biruss thanks
The tight old man could have took it to a shop, spent a few dollars and had a great playing accordian. Trouble is, he was just too damn cheap to do it
Guarantee the plaintiff’s son didn’t even want to learn.... to play the accordion! Lol
I looked on EBay and the mean prices for accordions is around $1,000. That’s not including amplifiers and speakers.
I think the plaintiff bought the accordion and his son told where he could put it. Otherwise he would have had it repaired, or at least get a repair estimate, and if it were too much then try to get his money back.
This judge is getting to irritate me.
Any time I hear someone say, “mansplaining” I get annoyed.
You shouldn’t talk over a judge, and she could have said, “ DON’T TALK OVER ME!” But, “mansplaining?” Unprofessional as hell!
i mean if i bought something under the assumption that it works good, and it’ll get the job done, i wouldn’t wanna go pay more on top of that to get it to work when that’s exactly why i bought it in the first place. for it to actually work. but he was dumb buying it like that without any knowledge about it.
Emma Ross
I agree.
The woman that got up and played the instrument said she knew accordions, but wasn’t familiar with that one.
My advice to the defendant would be to talk to her dad (she said he played it for the buyer) and see if there was a switch or something that needed to be turned on.
Maybe it needs some minor repair.
Anyway, I saw on EBay that some accordions sell for $16,000.
@@herberthanlen2051 very sjw
Poor little scammer is upset. Why would your friend be hearing your convo? No this is how it went down.

Friend trying to get laid: "So want to hang out?"

😂😂
Oh what’s the good ol saying judge Judy has, *BEAUTY FADES, DUMB IS FOREVER*
I bet that first buyer she had lined up actually knew what he was doing and noticed there was something wrong. That’s why she was so ready and willing to offer her hypothesis that it’s just missing a wire, while (cleverly, she thought) giving herself an out by ALSO telling him she didn’t know anything. During the show, I thought she cluelessly offered that opinion to the buyer. But her attitude in the hallway makes me think she knew it was junk and still tried to sell it.
She was full of it. She said the speakers were working when they did it, so where’d that wire go?
“My family’s from Argentina and they’re German.” Yikes 😳
$500 for a cordovox with the tone generator is a good deal even if it needs work. If he couldn't try it out before buying that's his problem
Nope, she made a warranty
They should have brought Weird Al as a witness instead.
Owned Several Cordovox models.
1. Bass section (left side) not playing can be solved by simply pressing one of the voice selector switches (the long near the bellows). It likely did not play because the 'off' switch was depressed. That's a feature on this instrument used to turn off the acoustic sound for playing only the electronics. There's one on right hand side and on on left. Electronics need to be hooked up by a very thick multi wire connector, called the firing cable. It is normally stored in the back of the tone generator unit. If there is a separate speaker/amp unit, that also needs to connect to the generator. It takes a minute or two to hook it all up. It's not just one 1/4" audio cable.
The woman from the audience was clearly an experienced player. I'm sure she knew where the voice selector switches were.
@@DD-d6d3 Looks like you too knows little about accordions.
@@DD-d6d3 She wasn't an experienced player at all. The judge actually should not have allowed her to be involved, because she misled the court. JekylJacobson is correct - the left hand side was not playing only because a switch had deactivated it.
Aww poor guy I hope he found a working accordion and got to hear his son or Grandson play for him
What a CUTE EPISODE! Love the accordion lady!
Charming!!
Gerri seems lovely, but whenever I see a white person that says they're German from Argentina, I can only think one thing.
That they’re one of 4,000,000 people in the world who are German Argentinians?
Nazi
What's that? I'm clueless.
Generally, you take your chances when you buy an old accordion. Some are in better shape than others, but, it's not unusual to have corrosion in the wiring. Actually, for $500 and getting all of the gear associated with the accordion (speakers, amp, etc) it "could be" a great deal. I would say buy it. Have a technician go over the system and get it working once again. These units have a beautiful sound once operational.
“My family is from Argentina and they’re German”
When the judge stopped her I legit thought “and they were nazis” was about to follow lmaaoooo
Dang she an airhead🤪 … she wasn’t understanding anything that the judge was trying to explain to her
Mama Mia ... I'm Italian too ... the accordion is, well, the instrument from HELL!
Funniest thing ever is when the ruling was for the plaintiff and the defendendent was all smiles like she won only to realize she lost once she walked out the court room 🤣
The lady from the audience who played is everything! Projected such a great spirit and energy. The defendant however, acted like a spoiled brat the entire time. A pretty lady but on the inside garbage.
I love this judge! Extinguisher of mansplaining!!!
Yuck
Yep, mansplaining is yucky. Just running their mouths, like diarrhea dripping from their lips. Along comes the judge, like a can of disinfectant spray!
Wrong. You are sexist and you need to change your thinking and apologize.
Yikes! Is that more mansplaining festering over there? Quick! Grab the Lysol!
Jerry was delightful.
Wow. I thought the defendant was an attractive young woman until I saw her snotty attitude at the end. Her boyfriend should teach her some manners.
Once Geri proved it didn't work Digna's goose was cooked.
Jerry is now a STAR ⭐⭐⭐
I really wanted the plaintiff to lose. He doesn't know how to act around female authority🤦
The combined IQ between the judge, plaintiff and defendant doesn't result in a 3 digit figure. You can't play an accordion stationary? Dafuck?
She was not feeling Doug!
That look she gave him 🤣🤣🤣
So wait… The defendant doesn’t know anything about the accordion, but can determine that it sounds good and can diagnose what the problem is when it’s not functioning properly? Yeah… She was definitely not being upfront with the people she was selling this to. I guarantee that this is why the first person didn’t buy it. They were knowledgeable enough to try it out and determine that things weren’t working.
Why is Harvey in a different place every single episode? How many offices can one man possibly need! 😆
I guess it depends on the case lol a car dealership office for car lawsuits a vets office for dog bite lawsuits
Etc etc
He's using hotel rooms
She knew it was fucked up !! Her attitude flipped quick lmaooooooo
I hope to be the accordion 🪗 lady and use my seemingly useless skills in court one day 😂
I think she knew that accordion had a defect, especially when the first guy decided not to buy. Assuming there really was someone else. That nasty attitude at the ends makes me think she as trying to pull one over on the old man.
She probably found out that it was working from the person that didn't end up buying it. She knew he wanted it for cheap and so she took his offer and thought she could wipe her hands of it.
That plaintiff definitely likes to be in charge. Trying to make his son/grandson play accordion, trying to boss around judge/defendant. Definitely not used to women in power 😬
(6:06 her face in the background 😂)
I am with the defendant on this one . I don’t think she knows if it is working or not , but he did tried it out
This after court guy can be a trouble maker.
The accordion really is a very beautiful, traditional instrument!
Judge Marilyn is so pretty and kind!!!
I like how Douglas and Judge Marilyn smile at each other at the beginning @ 1:05. They have a really good friendship. 🤗
I saw her point that there may have been an “aux” switch that allowed the instrument to go through the speakers and that was why Jerry could not get that left side to work. It’s switched in the “aux” position for speaker usage. I don’t know this for sure, but it makes sense because I do have a lot of experience working with speakers, but don’t know anything about accordions.
Yeah, but that isn't what the case was really about.
The speakers didn’t work and that was part of the deal
If the right side of the accordion worked without going through the speaker, so should the left side have worked. The accordion did not need to go through a speaker to be heard, as Geri clearly demonstrated. There may have been an internal issue in the instrument, but it more likely was something as simple as a "mute" register switch activated on the left side that needed to be turned off for the accordion to sound (Geri didn't try any of the left hand register switches at all, which leads me to believe she doesn't play much). In any case the problem had nothing to do with the amplifier.
@@morritalopez2717 They never showed or claimed that the speaker didn't work - they never even plugged the accordion into it. The plaintiff claimed the instrument didn't work, but he never clearly explained exactly what (according to him) was supposed to be the problem. He never said the "the left hand doesn't play at all" - the woman who got up to play said that, but I suspect that happened only because there was a "mute" register switch activated. She only played a couple of buttons and didn't try any of the register switches at all, so she really had no idea what she was talking about either.
@@johndipinto8816 yes he does he said his technician said the speaker and amplifier doesn’t work 13:29
Geri for the win! 🤣
Does anybody else want to punch the guy at the end that interviews the plaintiff and the defendant? He just asks dumb questions and he is just so irritating!!! They need to get a new interview person for the end!!!!
