1
00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:07,734
[Judge DiMango] He was your caretaker.

2
00:00:08,967 --> 00:00:11,300
It came to a point he wanted to get a car.

3
00:00:11,367 --> 00:00:12,667
I had a car.

4
00:00:12,734 --> 00:00:15,467
He told me to get rid of it
and get a new car.

5
00:00:15,533 --> 00:00:17,500
I end up paying for the car.

6
00:00:17,567 --> 00:00:19,266
He never gave me even half.

7
00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:20,834
I don't need a car.

8
00:00:20,900 --> 00:00:23,400
Well, you don't need a car
because legally, you can't drive.

9
00:00:23,467 --> 00:00:24,467
You can't see.

10
00:00:24,533 --> 00:00:27,166
I can drive.
My wife said I drove her crazy.

11
00:00:27,233 --> 00:00:28,700
[laughter]

12
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:30,800
[announcer] Now on Tribunal Justice.

13
00:00:30,867 --> 00:00:34,200
["Ride of the Valkyries" plays]

14
00:00:51,934 --> 00:00:55,967
[announcer] Today's case was filed
in Los Angeles, California.

15
00:00:56,033 --> 00:00:59,300
[Byrd] Your Honor,
this is case number 2048 on the calendar

16
00:00:59,367 --> 00:01:01,500
in the matter of Moore versus Hawk.

17
00:01:01,567 --> 00:01:03,500
- Thank you, Byrd.
- You have a good one.

18
00:01:03,567 --> 00:01:04,967
Parties have been sworn in.

19
00:01:05,033 --> 00:01:06,667
You may be seated.

20
00:01:06,734 --> 00:01:10,200
Mr. Moore, the defendant,
Mr. Hawk was your caretaker.

21
00:01:10,266 --> 00:01:13,133
And in exchange
for the caretaking services,

22
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,333
you let him rent from you for free.

23
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,333
You also bought a SUV

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,367
so that he could drive you around,
help you with chores.

25
00:01:20,433 --> 00:01:22,867
And you expected
that he was gonna pay you half of that

26
00:01:22,934 --> 00:01:24,433
and the insurance as well.

27
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,133
Well, at some point, you evicted him

28
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,934
and at that point now
he refuses to keep up his end of the deal,

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,467
which is to pay you the balance
of what he owes you on the car, $1,200,

30
00:01:33,533 --> 00:01:36,066
and the insurance which is $1,300.

31
00:01:36,133 --> 00:01:38,667
That's a total of $2,500.

32
00:01:38,734 --> 00:01:41,033
Mr. Hawk, you have
a different version of this.

33
00:01:41,100 --> 00:01:43,467
You say that when he bought the vehicle,

34
00:01:43,533 --> 00:01:45,033
he never asked you for any money.

35
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:47,333
Then at some point
he said you had to pay half,

36
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:48,767
which you weren't expecting.

37
00:01:48,834 --> 00:01:50,667
Then he became abusive of you,

38
00:01:50,734 --> 00:01:52,567
and so you say, "For all I did for him,

39
00:01:52,633 --> 00:01:55,265
I'm not paying him anything
and I don't owe him anything."

40
00:01:55,333 --> 00:01:58,033
Okay, Mr. Moore,
how long you know Mr. Hawk?

41
00:01:59,033 --> 00:02:01,333
Um, the truth of the matter is

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,800
I knew his, uh, girlfriend or wife.

43
00:02:04,867 --> 00:02:06,667
They lived downstairs.

44
00:02:06,734 --> 00:02:09,467
And then what--at one point, she asked me

45
00:02:09,532 --> 00:02:13,000
could, uh, her and her husband
rent my room,

46
00:02:13,066 --> 00:02:14,900
and he sounded like a decent person.

47
00:02:14,967 --> 00:02:17,533
I'm sure he is and was for a couple years

48
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:20,867
until he start going through
problems and stuff.

49
00:02:20,934 --> 00:02:22,233
[Judge DiMango] And then,
if you wanna answer...

50
00:02:22,300 --> 00:02:24,000
- And then he kept--okay.
- ... to this question, please?

51
00:02:24,066 --> 00:02:25,367
How long do you know him?

52
00:02:25,433 --> 00:02:27,734
- About three, four years.
- [Judge DiMango] Okay, accurate?

53
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,300
About three, four years
you know one another?

54
00:02:29,367 --> 00:02:31,734
Uh, 2018, that's when I met him.

55
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,400
So that's about four or five years.

56
00:02:33,466 --> 00:02:34,834
- But, okay, we'll settle at four.
- [Hawk] Right.

57
00:02:34,900 --> 00:02:38,700
Okay. So now, he was living there
at some point with his girlfriend

58
00:02:38,767 --> 00:02:42,600
and you decided that
you would let him stay rent-free

59
00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:43,966
if he would be your caretaker,

60
00:02:44,033 --> 00:02:46,200
'cause you needed that more
than the money for the rent,

61
00:02:46,266 --> 00:02:47,600
- would that be correct?
- [Moore] Well, he started off--

62
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,400
I had him shampoo my carpet.

63
00:02:49,466 --> 00:02:52,266
I seen him did a good job--
he did a good job.

64
00:02:52,333 --> 00:02:55,500
- Good. So he shampooed your carpet...
- [Moore] So I got a chance to know him.

65
00:02:55,567 --> 00:02:57,166
You gotta understand, I'm blind.

66
00:02:57,233 --> 00:03:00,133
'm not gonna let nobody stay
around me that's dangerous.

67
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,367
[Judge DiMango] Correct.

68
00:03:01,433 --> 00:03:04,100
So I decided that he'll be okay,

69
00:03:04,166 --> 00:03:06,300
so I let them have the room.

70
00:03:06,367 --> 00:03:07,867
And then it came to a point...

71
00:03:07,934 --> 00:03:09,133
And there's more to it.

72
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,567
- ... that he...
- [laughter]

73
00:03:10,633 --> 00:03:13,533
It came to a point he wanted to get a car

74
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,466
and he told me, "Mike, we could buy a car.
I'll go half on it."

75
00:03:16,533 --> 00:03:19,066
I said, "I don't need a car.
I got access."

76
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:20,800
I only paid $2.75.

77
00:03:20,867 --> 00:03:21,867
- I ain't gonna take no...
- Well, you don't need a car

78
00:03:21,934 --> 00:03:23,333
because legally, you can't drive.

79
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,233
- You can't see.
- [Moore] Well...

80
00:03:25,300 --> 00:03:26,300
- [Judge DiMango] Correct?
- ... I can drive.

81
00:03:26,367 --> 00:03:28,800
My wife said I drove her crazy

82
00:03:28,867 --> 00:03:30,533
- and she was a...
- [laughter]

83
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,100
[Moore] And she was a psychiatrist.

84
00:03:32,166 --> 00:03:33,767
Are you looking
for a stand-up comic job after this?

85
00:03:33,834 --> 00:03:34,966
[Moore] I told her, "That's not a drive."

86
00:03:35,033 --> 00:03:37,133
- [Judge DiMango] That was very good.
- Well, this is how it is.

87
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,066
I want my money because I want him
to be able to be responsible as a man

88
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:44,433
and when he give his word, to keep it.

89
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,867
Okay. So now you say to him,
you'll buy him the car

90
00:03:47,934 --> 00:03:50,266
but he's gotta pay you money
for the vehicle?

91
00:03:50,333 --> 00:03:52,233
- You want money in full?
- He asked me

92
00:03:52,300 --> 00:03:54,900
to buy the car and he'll give half.

93
00:03:54,966 --> 00:03:56,734
I end up paying for the car.

94
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,333
He never gave me even half.

95
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,734
I only asked for half
of what you said you're gonna get.

96
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,800
I'm gonna let you
just have the other half.

97
00:04:03,867 --> 00:04:06,934
Okay. I think we got your version.
Let's look at the car.

98
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,800
- Mr. Hawk, is that the vehicle?
- Yes.

99
00:04:09,867 --> 00:04:11,500
[Judge DiMango] And it's an SUV, correct?

100
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:12,667
- Right.
- [Judge DiMango] Okay.

101
00:04:12,734 --> 00:04:18,300
Now, Mr. Moore, you say that that car
costs $3,200, is that correct?

102
00:04:18,367 --> 00:04:21,200
Ask Mr. Hawk.
He'll let you know. He was there.

103
00:04:21,266 --> 00:04:23,133
You know what?
I think I am gonna move over to him.

104
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,100
- [Hawk] Yes. Yes.
- Was the car $3,200?

105
00:04:25,166 --> 00:04:26,834
You went to the place to buy it with him?

106
00:04:26,900 --> 00:04:29,300
- You went to the, uh, the...
- Yes, I was there.

107
00:04:29,367 --> 00:04:31,133
[Judge DiMango]
You go in, you buy this SUV.

108
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Who pays out the money up front?

109
00:04:32,867 --> 00:04:34,266
- He does.
- [Judge DiMango] He does?

110
00:04:34,332 --> 00:04:36,633
- Right.
- [Judge DiMango] And he tells you what?

111
00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:39,500
That he's gonna put the car
in your name and his name?

112
00:04:39,567 --> 00:04:41,200
- In both, yes.
- [Judge DiMango] Both names?

113
00:04:41,266 --> 00:04:42,266
- So let's see that.
- Right.

114
00:04:42,332 --> 00:04:44,332
[Judge DiMango] 'Cause you do
put the car in both names,

115
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,332
but did he ever say to you
you were gonna pay for the vehicle?

116
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:51,433
Um, he didn't ask me for money at first.

117
00:04:51,500 --> 00:04:52,667
I had a car.

118
00:04:52,734 --> 00:04:55,200
He told me to get rid of it
and get a new car

119
00:04:55,266 --> 00:04:56,667
- 'cause he wants me to...
- [Moore] I didn't tell you to--

120
00:04:56,734 --> 00:04:58,166
- oh, I'm sorry.
- ... drive him around

121
00:04:58,233 --> 00:05:00,700
in a nice-looking car,
and my car was raggedy.

122
00:05:00,767 --> 00:05:03,033
So it was to your benefit to get this car.

123
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:05,667
Whether you pay half, or all, or whatever,
it was to your benefit.

124
00:05:05,734 --> 00:05:08,033
Uh, but we never had a written agreement.

125
00:05:08,100 --> 00:05:09,400
[Judge DiMango] But you don't need
a written agreement

126
00:05:09,467 --> 00:05:13,133
if you have a meeting of the minds
as to what was to occur.

127
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,266
So now, I'm gonna go back to you Mr. Moore

128
00:05:15,333 --> 00:05:17,700
because you have the burden of proof here.

129
00:05:17,767 --> 00:05:21,367
So, when was it that you had
this conversation with Mr. Hawk

130
00:05:21,433 --> 00:05:23,867
that he was going to pay for this car?

131
00:05:23,934 --> 00:05:26,500
Before I even paid
out the money to get it.

132
00:05:26,567 --> 00:05:28,332
[Judge DiMango] Okay. What did you say?

133
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:32,767
Uh, he--I told you, he was asking me
for months and months to get a car,

134
00:05:32,834 --> 00:05:34,500
he could take me around in it.

135
00:05:34,567 --> 00:05:37,166
And then I agreed when he said
he would pay half,

136
00:05:37,233 --> 00:05:39,300
I said I agree with that.

137
00:05:39,367 --> 00:05:41,834
And he was doing good helping me

138
00:05:41,900 --> 00:05:44,667
until he had changes in his mind.

139
00:05:44,734 --> 00:05:46,967
You know, he went through problems

140
00:05:47,033 --> 00:05:48,967
and I didn't wanna pressure him,

141
00:05:49,033 --> 00:05:51,066
'cause the boy ain't too stable.

142
00:05:51,133 --> 00:05:52,933
- [Judge DiMango] Hmm.
- [Moore] I'm telling you.

143
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,000
We'll let you say that,

144
00:05:54,066 --> 00:05:55,967
but we don't necessarily agree with that,
but okay.

145
00:05:56,033 --> 00:05:57,567
I know nobody's a psychiatrist.

146
00:05:57,633 --> 00:05:58,734
I was married to one.

147
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,767
But she didn't help you, did she?

148
00:06:00,834 --> 00:06:02,133
- [Moore] Not really.
- [Judge DiMango] See?

149
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,333
[laughter]

150
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,233
Did he ever make any payments
towards the car?

151
00:06:07,367 --> 00:06:11,567
Well, he paid two payments of 200.

152
00:06:11,633 --> 00:06:14,967
[Judge DiMango]
So $400 in payments, correct?

153
00:06:15,700 --> 00:06:17,834
Well, whatever he needed the money for,

154
00:06:17,900 --> 00:06:19,166
it's coming outta my check,

155
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,767
you know, to help out and stuff.

156
00:06:21,834 --> 00:06:24,734
Okay. Can I ask
who you are, ma'am, please?

157
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,667
[Curisha] Oh, I'm his granddaughter.

158
00:06:26,734 --> 00:06:29,266
[Judge DiMango] Oh, are you privy
to any of these transactions,

159
00:06:29,332 --> 00:06:31,700
or you're just part of his comedy routine?

160
00:06:31,767 --> 00:06:33,500
I'm just part of the comedy routine.

161
00:06:33,567 --> 00:06:36,066
- [Judge DiMango] Okay.
- [laughter]

162
00:06:36,133 --> 00:06:38,100
[Judge DiMango] You laugh first.
We all know it's funny.

163
00:06:38,166 --> 00:06:39,166
[laughter]

164
00:06:39,233 --> 00:06:40,900
And, ma'am, may I ask who you are?

165
00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:44,700
I am Debra McClean,
Michael's first cousin.

166
00:06:44,767 --> 00:06:46,700
And are you a witness to anything here?

167
00:06:46,767 --> 00:06:48,133
- [Debra] Yes.
- Well, then let's step up.

168
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:49,200
Let's see what you know.

169
00:06:49,266 --> 00:06:52,500
Maybe you can put some clarity
here on what's going on.

170
00:06:52,567 --> 00:06:53,567
So what do you know?

171
00:06:53,633 --> 00:06:57,800
I don't know nothing about the payments
arrangements or about the car,

172
00:06:57,867 --> 00:07:00,633
but I do know how he treated my cousin.

173
00:07:00,700 --> 00:07:04,033
Like, first instance,
I live next door to a restaurant.

174
00:07:04,100 --> 00:07:05,400
They giving out turkeys.

175
00:07:05,467 --> 00:07:08,000
He brought him over to get one.

176
00:07:08,066 --> 00:07:12,200
He's cussing him out
all the way to the door.

177
00:07:12,266 --> 00:07:14,934
They had to stop distributing the turkeys

178
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,700
and give him his so he can leave

179
00:07:17,767 --> 00:07:19,166
- 'cause he was in bed...
- [Judge DiMango] I don't doubt that

180
00:07:19,233 --> 00:07:20,967
for some reason, Mr. Moore.

181
00:07:21,033 --> 00:07:22,900
I think that's pretty consistent
with the personality.

182
00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:27,800
Did she also tell you
that he was cursing out his wife

183
00:07:27,867 --> 00:07:29,567
and being abusive

184
00:07:29,633 --> 00:07:32,133
and that's the only reason I got into it?

185
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,367
- [Judge DiMango] So, about...
- You don't take me no place

186
00:07:34,433 --> 00:07:36,100
and act crazy with your wife.

187
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:38,600
You make me look bad too.

188
00:07:38,667 --> 00:07:39,967
He did not, sorry.

189
00:07:40,033 --> 00:07:41,533
He did not say nothing to me.

190
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,166
- [Hawk] She wasn't even there.
- So, I think it's best that...

191
00:07:43,233 --> 00:07:44,233
- [Hawk] She wasn't. No.
- Thank you.

192
00:07:44,300 --> 00:07:45,332
You--I think you could sit

193
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400
since you can't add
to the, uh, vehicle situation.

194
00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:49,467
But let's put it this way.

195
00:07:49,533 --> 00:07:50,667
[Moore] She just don't like me, you know?

196
00:07:50,734 --> 00:07:53,000
If you didn't like his behavior,
there was no problem with you quitting

197
00:07:53,066 --> 00:07:55,166
but you had an obligation
to pay for the vehicle

198
00:07:55,233 --> 00:07:59,700
that would still survive
your job opportunity with him.

199
00:07:59,767 --> 00:08:01,233
[dramatic music playing]

200
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:04,033
[announcer] Coming up on Tribunal Justice.

201
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:05,867
There's a two-year statute of limitations.

202
00:08:05,934 --> 00:08:08,100
So if it's 2020, you definitely lose.

203
00:08:08,166 --> 00:08:10,233
Well, it couldn't have been 2020...

204
00:08:10,300 --> 00:08:13,500
- [Judge Levy] Let me see.
- ... because I was in jail in 2020.

205
00:08:13,567 --> 00:08:14,934
Oh, we learned that for the first time.

206
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,867
-[laughter]
-[dramatic musical sting]

207
00:08:18,900 --> 00:08:20,233
[theme music plays]

208
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,900
[announcer] Michael Moore is suing
former caregiver Michael Hawk

209
00:08:23,967 --> 00:08:26,066
for $2,500,

210
00:08:26,133 --> 00:08:29,166
the balance owed on a car and insurance.

211
00:08:29,233 --> 00:08:31,734
Mr. Moore claims he bought the car
for his caregiver

212
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,767
expecting to be reimbursed
for half the cost.

213
00:08:34,834 --> 00:08:37,633
Mr. Hawk says the car was always a gift

214
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:40,467
to make up for the verbal
and psychological abuse

215
00:08:40,533 --> 00:08:42,332
he had to put up with.

216
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,934
Your position, Mr. Moore,
so it's clear to me

217
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,066
is that you were expecting him
only to pay half, is that correct?

218
00:08:48,133 --> 00:08:49,133
That's correct.

219
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,734
[Judge DiMango]
That's because he was using the car

220
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,300
- for your benefit as well as his.
- Right. Right.

221
00:08:53,367 --> 00:08:55,900
[Judge DiMango]
And that would've been 1,600 for the car

222
00:08:55,967 --> 00:08:58,667
for which you gave $400 in payments.

223
00:08:58,734 --> 00:08:59,934
Who has the car?

224
00:09:00,066 --> 00:09:01,066
He do.

225
00:09:01,133 --> 00:09:02,600
[Judge DiMango]
Who's paying your insurance?

226
00:09:02,667 --> 00:09:03,834
I am.

227
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:05,700
I paid for a whole year
and I got the receipts.

228
00:09:05,767 --> 00:09:07,900
Yeah, one time for a year. That was it.

229
00:09:07,967 --> 00:09:10,000
Did you move out after that one year,

230
00:09:10,066 --> 00:09:11,066
or did you continue
to pay the insurance...

231
00:09:11,133 --> 00:09:12,133
[Moore] He moved out.

232
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,200
[Judge DiMango]
... after the year expired?

233
00:09:13,266 --> 00:09:14,300
- [Hawk] I moved out.
- Before.

234
00:09:14,367 --> 00:09:16,100
I stopped coming around. I quit.

235
00:09:16,166 --> 00:09:17,867
That's when he became bitter.

236
00:09:17,934 --> 00:09:19,300
That's when he decided...

237
00:09:19,367 --> 00:09:21,166
- He end up quitting.
- ... to come after me for the car

238
00:09:21,233 --> 00:09:22,333
after I quit.

239
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,734
[Judge DiMango] Okay.
So I'm gonna pass it over to Judge Levy.

240
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:25,800
[Judge Levy] Thank you.

241
00:09:25,867 --> 00:09:27,367
- Mr. Moore.
- Yes, sir.

242
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:29,600
Tell me the date
that you purchased the car.

243
00:09:29,667 --> 00:09:34,900
Oh, I think it was August 2021 or '22.

244
00:09:34,967 --> 00:09:38,767
Okay. So that's important
because in your complaint,

245
00:09:38,834 --> 00:09:41,467
you say it was in 2020
that you bought the car.

246
00:09:41,533 --> 00:09:43,700
- And this was--right.
- It could have been.

247
00:09:43,767 --> 00:09:46,266
But now you're saying
it could have been in '21 or '22?

248
00:09:46,333 --> 00:09:48,100
Well, I don't see the paperwork.

249
00:09:48,165 --> 00:09:49,367
[Judge Levy] I know, but that's my point,

250
00:09:49,433 --> 00:09:50,433
- Mr. Moore.
- Right.

251
00:09:50,500 --> 00:09:52,033
[Judge Levy]
That one of the reasons, not the only.

252
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:55,000
One of the reasons why it's difficult
for you to remember the dates

253
00:09:55,066 --> 00:09:57,834
is because it happened
quite some time ago, years.

254
00:09:57,900 --> 00:09:59,165
Uh-hmm. That's correct.

255
00:09:59,233 --> 00:10:00,233
[Judge Levy] Okay.

256
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:02,166
And that there was nothing in writing

257
00:10:02,233 --> 00:10:04,600
between you and Mr. Hawk

258
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:09,600
that outlined the terms and conditions
of this transaction.

259
00:10:09,667 --> 00:10:12,266
- Nothing in writing.
- No, it was, uh, from his mouth,

260
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:13,333
he told me.

261
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,667
[Judge Levy]
That's what you say. I get that.

262
00:10:14,734 --> 00:10:16,567
- That's called an oral contract, right?
- Yes.

263
00:10:16,633 --> 00:10:18,367
- Right. A verbal contract.
- [Judge Levy] And an--right.

264
00:10:18,433 --> 00:10:22,333
And an order for an oral
or verbal contract to be enforceable,

265
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,700
there has to be a clear meeting
of the minds,

266
00:10:24,767 --> 00:10:26,433
and that's what we need to figure out,

267
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:29,500
'cause what he's saying is that
there was no meeting of the minds

268
00:10:29,567 --> 00:10:30,867
when you purchased the car,

269
00:10:30,934 --> 00:10:35,133
that there was no expectation of repayment
when the car was actually purchased.

270
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,300
That's what your statement is, Mr. Hawk?

271
00:10:37,367 --> 00:10:38,367
Yes.

272
00:10:38,433 --> 00:10:41,700
[Judge Levy] When you walked in
with him to pick up this used car,

273
00:10:41,767 --> 00:10:43,467
had you already sold yours?

274
00:10:43,533 --> 00:10:44,533
Yes.

275
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,734
And that what you are about
to pick up with him

276
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,200
is going to be your only mode
of transportation.

277
00:10:51,266 --> 00:10:52,567
Right, yes.

278
00:10:52,633 --> 00:10:56,000
So prior to walking into
the dealership with him,

279
00:10:56,066 --> 00:10:58,500
what had the two of you discussed

280
00:10:58,567 --> 00:11:02,166
regarding your financial obligation,
if any?

281
00:11:02,233 --> 00:11:04,467
Uh, pay me when you can.

282
00:11:04,533 --> 00:11:05,834
And that's right, Mr. Moore?

283
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:07,066
- [Moore] That's right.
- Okay.

284
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:09,200
"Pay me when you can."

285
00:11:09,266 --> 00:11:12,700
So the only issue really was
when was when you can?

286
00:11:12,767 --> 00:11:14,767
There came a time, however,

287
00:11:14,834 --> 00:11:19,133
that you ended up leaving
his employment, correct?

288
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,200
Right.

289
00:11:20,266 --> 00:11:23,133
[Judge Levy]
Now, the reasons I don't care about.

290
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,233
But you would agree
that once you left his employment

291
00:11:26,300 --> 00:11:30,834
is when he asked you now for the money.

292
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:32,667
After I left, he became bitter.

293
00:11:32,734 --> 00:11:34,000
[Judge Levy] I don't care about bitter.

294
00:11:34,066 --> 00:11:36,133
I didn't ask you about bitter.

295
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,734
Why didn't you give him his money
at that point?

296
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:39,967
[Hawk] Because he was verbally abusive

297
00:11:40,033 --> 00:11:41,633
and he put me through a lot of--

298
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,165
a lot of, uh, embarrassment
working for him.

299
00:11:46,233 --> 00:11:48,700
So, if you treated you badly,
I'm not condoning that.

300
00:11:48,767 --> 00:11:53,100
It doesn't make a difference
for purposes of this case, not at all.

301
00:11:53,165 --> 00:11:57,600
But he did make a demand
for the money that you owed him.

302
00:11:57,667 --> 00:12:00,066
And what year was that?

303
00:12:00,133 --> 00:12:02,567
Uh, 02/20/2020.

304
00:12:02,633 --> 00:12:04,500
It couldn't have been 2020.

305
00:12:04,567 --> 00:12:05,567
[Moore] He didn't have the car.

306
00:12:05,633 --> 00:12:06,834
[Hawk] That's when he had the car.

307
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:08,033
He bought the car in 2020.

308
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:09,867
When did you leave his apartment?

309
00:12:12,867 --> 00:12:15,266
- Probably 20...
- This is super important.

310
00:12:15,333 --> 00:12:16,533
... 2020.

311
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,667
[Judge Levy] All right.
Let's go through this.

312
00:12:17,734 --> 00:12:18,734
You know, a bill of sale would've been...

313
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,967
[Judge DiMango] Ah, you thought
this was gonna be easy?

314
00:12:20,033 --> 00:12:21,500
- I did. A bill of sale...
- [laughter]

315
00:12:21,567 --> 00:12:23,934
... you know, a bill of sale
would've been really helpful.

316
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Let me explain.

317
00:12:25,066 --> 00:12:28,367
There's a two-year statute of limitations
on oral contracts.

318
00:12:28,433 --> 00:12:29,433
Two years.

319
00:12:29,500 --> 00:12:31,300
You waited a long time, Mr. Moore.

320
00:12:31,367 --> 00:12:34,467
I'm trying to figure out whether or not
your case is gonna get shot down

321
00:12:34,533 --> 00:12:36,467
just on a statute of limitations problem.

322
00:12:36,533 --> 00:12:39,165
So if it's 2020, you definitely lose.

323
00:12:39,233 --> 00:12:40,333
It wasn't 2020.

324
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,200
[Judge Levy] Now we know it's not 2020.

325
00:12:42,266 --> 00:12:44,033
- That's why a bill of sale...
- We--no, I'm trying to tell you,

326
00:12:44,100 --> 00:12:45,967
it couldn't have been 2020...

327
00:12:46,033 --> 00:12:49,600
- [Judge Levy] Let me see.
- ... because I was in jail in 2020.

328
00:12:49,667 --> 00:12:50,900
Oh, we learned that for the first time.

329
00:12:50,967 --> 00:12:52,200
[laughter]

330
00:12:52,266 --> 00:12:53,567
[Judge Levy] Do me a favor. Bill of sale.

331
00:12:53,633 --> 00:12:55,500
Someone please give me the bill of sale.

332
00:12:55,567 --> 00:12:57,367
Which one's the bill of sale?

333
00:12:57,433 --> 00:12:58,567
[Hawk] The title?

334
00:12:58,633 --> 00:12:59,900
Yeah, I'll take the title. Thank you.

335
00:13:01,133 --> 00:13:04,500
Okay. So, the car title indicates

336
00:13:04,567 --> 00:13:08,300
the transfer date, August 28th, 2021.

337
00:13:08,367 --> 00:13:10,667
So we know that the vehicle
had to be purchased

338
00:13:10,734 --> 00:13:13,734
at least in August of 2021.

339
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,467
So, how long were you working with him

340
00:13:17,533 --> 00:13:20,100
before the relationship deteriorated

341
00:13:20,166 --> 00:13:22,133
when he asked you for the money back?

342
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,900
- [Hawk] Uh, about two, three years.
- Okay.

343
00:13:24,967 --> 00:13:25,967
[Judge Levy] Three years?
You're gonna say...

344
00:13:26,033 --> 00:13:27,033
- Yeah. Three.
- [Judge Levy] ... two or three years?

345
00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:28,767
Good. I have nothing further.

346
00:13:28,834 --> 00:13:31,967
This case is really serious
for you, Mr. Hawk.

347
00:13:32,033 --> 00:13:34,867
And I think it hurt your feelings,
some of the things that he said.

348
00:13:34,934 --> 00:13:36,667
So I'm gonna help you out
a little bit here.

349
00:13:36,734 --> 00:13:39,533
I'm going to translate
what I think your position is

350
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,600
into a little bit of legalese.

351
00:13:41,667 --> 00:13:45,200
You're suggesting that the abusive way
that he treated you

352
00:13:45,266 --> 00:13:49,700
constitutes an offset of any moneys
that you owe him.

353
00:13:49,767 --> 00:13:52,600
Is that kind of what you're saying
in your defense?

354
00:13:52,667 --> 00:13:53,667
Kinda.

355
00:13:53,734 --> 00:13:55,900
Now, I'm gonna ask your cousin
to come back

356
00:13:55,967 --> 00:13:59,934
because your testimony
is relevant to this issue.

357
00:14:00,066 --> 00:14:01,266
Do you want your nice cane?

358
00:14:01,333 --> 00:14:02,667
Um, I made it.

359
00:14:02,734 --> 00:14:05,100
[laughter]

360
00:14:05,166 --> 00:14:06,767
[Judge Acker] Well done, ma'am. Well done.

361
00:14:06,834 --> 00:14:10,266
So you started to testify
about an incident

362
00:14:10,333 --> 00:14:12,700
where your cousin was taking the plaintiff

363
00:14:12,767 --> 00:14:14,433
- to pick up some turkeys.
- [Debra] Yes.

364
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:17,033
And you witnessed certain treatment

365
00:14:17,100 --> 00:14:18,934
of your cousin by the plaintiff

366
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,433
- that you found to be troubling.
- [Debra] Yes.

367
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:21,867
Can you describe
that incident for me, please?

368
00:14:21,934 --> 00:14:24,300
Yes. From getting out the car,

369
00:14:24,367 --> 00:14:27,200
my cousin helping him, got him arm in arm,

370
00:14:27,266 --> 00:14:29,934
walking him to the door
because he wouldn't--

371
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,200
he was talking about
he's not standing in line

372
00:14:32,266 --> 00:14:35,567
when there's almost
hundreds of people in line.

373
00:14:35,633 --> 00:14:37,934
So, he's blind.
He's supposed to just walk up.

374
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,467
And as he's walking up, he's cussing him,

375
00:14:40,533 --> 00:14:42,567
calling him all out of his name.

376
00:14:42,633 --> 00:14:43,767
- And people...
- [Judge Acker] Were you there?

377
00:14:43,834 --> 00:14:45,200
- You were present for this?
- Yes. I was there.

378
00:14:45,266 --> 00:14:46,767
I was right there.

379
00:14:46,834 --> 00:14:50,367
And then, people in line
was turning around and looking

380
00:14:50,433 --> 00:14:52,200
and, you know--and they know him.

381
00:14:52,266 --> 00:14:56,200
They like, "Why is this man
talking to you like that?"

382
00:14:56,266 --> 00:14:59,266
And so another day, my cousin,
Pocket, called me

383
00:14:59,333 --> 00:15:01,133
'cause he had called me earlier.

384
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,100
So, Pocket called me.
They in the grocery store.

385
00:15:04,166 --> 00:15:08,066
He's doing the same thing
in the grocery store,

386
00:15:08,133 --> 00:15:09,533
cussing him out,

387
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,467
belligering him terribly
in the grocery store.

388
00:15:12,533 --> 00:15:16,934
And I'm hearing this from his phone
that he called me back.

389
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,033
He didn't try to,
but that's what happened.

390
00:15:20,100 --> 00:15:21,900
So that was two incidents.

391
00:15:21,967 --> 00:15:23,867
[Judge Acker] Thank you, ma'am.
That was very helpful.

392
00:15:23,934 --> 00:15:25,266
- Okay.
- [Judge Acker] Mr. Hawk,

393
00:15:25,333 --> 00:15:28,100
are there any other incidents
that you recall

394
00:15:28,166 --> 00:15:30,400
where the plaintiff treated you in ways

395
00:15:30,467 --> 00:15:32,767
that you found to be abusive or demeaning?

396
00:15:32,834 --> 00:15:33,934
It was every day.

397
00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:36,165
He has a sharp personality.

398
00:15:36,233 --> 00:15:39,066
And sometimes--and I'm gonna say this
to you, Mr. Moore.

399
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:40,934
- [Moore] Yeah.
- Sometimes it's really charming

400
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,867
and fun engaging with someone like that,

401
00:15:43,934 --> 00:15:46,467
and sometimes it can really hurt
people's feelings.

402
00:15:46,533 --> 00:15:48,133
- Who, me?
- [Judge Acker] Yes, you.

403
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Oh, not me.

404
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:52,500
If you wanna learn what Mike do...

405
00:15:52,567 --> 00:15:54,300
- [Judge Acker] Well, no, no, no, not...
- ... ask me, baby.

406
00:15:54,367 --> 00:15:55,667
[Judge Acker] No, not just yet right now.

407
00:15:55,734 --> 00:15:56,734
Ask me.

408
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Dear, can you help me
with your granddad a bit?

409
00:15:58,266 --> 00:16:00,367
Can you just stand next to him
and maybe give him a...

410
00:16:00,433 --> 00:16:01,433
Calm him down?

411
00:16:01,500 --> 00:16:02,500
[Judge Acker] Give him a--
I just want her...

412
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:04,467
- From all the lies?
- [Judge Acker] No, no, no, sir.

413
00:16:04,533 --> 00:16:05,834
Please be respectful.

414
00:16:05,900 --> 00:16:09,667
So, sir, can you give
some specific examples, Mr. Hawk?

415
00:16:09,734 --> 00:16:10,734
The treatment by the defendant?

416
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,266
Yeah, he's very, very,
very verbally abusive.

417
00:16:14,333 --> 00:16:16,233
He got physical abuse.

418
00:16:16,300 --> 00:16:18,266
We was arguing and talking...

419
00:16:18,333 --> 00:16:19,333
[Moore] You don't even sound right.

420
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,700
... and he pushed me down one time.

421
00:16:21,767 --> 00:16:22,767
[dramatic musical sting]

422
00:16:22,834 --> 00:16:25,433
[announcer] Coming up on Tribunal Justice.

423
00:16:25,500 --> 00:16:27,200
He's told me, "[bleep] me.

424
00:16:27,266 --> 00:16:29,100
I ain't ever getting paid."

425
00:16:29,166 --> 00:16:30,834
He drove off in the car.

426
00:16:30,900 --> 00:16:33,900
He halfway killed his girlfriend
with alcohol.

427
00:16:33,967 --> 00:16:35,533
[dramatic musical sting]

428
00:16:37,533 --> 00:16:38,867
[theme music plays]

429
00:16:38,934 --> 00:16:41,600
[announcer] Michael Moore
is suing former caregiver,

430
00:16:41,667 --> 00:16:44,700
Michael Hawk, for $2,500,

431
00:16:44,767 --> 00:16:47,800
the balance owed on a car and insurance.

432
00:16:47,867 --> 00:16:50,433
Mr. Moore claims
he bought the car for his caregiver,

433
00:16:50,500 --> 00:16:53,533
expecting to be reimbursed
for half the cost.

434
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,000
Mr. Hawk says the car was always a gift

435
00:16:56,066 --> 00:16:59,200
to make up for the verbal
and psychological abuse

436
00:16:59,266 --> 00:17:00,934
he had to put up with it.

437
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:02,500
[Judge Acker] Mr. Moore--
and this is a serious question...

438
00:17:02,567 --> 00:17:03,567
Yeah.

439
00:17:03,633 --> 00:17:07,133
... because I saw in your papers
that you were a Vietnam vet,

440
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:08,633
you were a Green Beret.

441
00:17:08,700 --> 00:17:10,165
Thank you very much for your service, sir.

442
00:17:10,233 --> 00:17:14,333
But sometimes people
who have been in war and in combat

443
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,567
have difficulty controlling
their emotions.

444
00:17:17,633 --> 00:17:18,700
Does that ever happen to you?

445
00:17:18,767 --> 00:17:21,200
Ma'am, it never happened to me.

446
00:17:21,266 --> 00:17:23,099
The only fight when somebody attacked me.

447
00:17:23,165 --> 00:17:27,066
Tell him--ask him about when he hit me
in the head three times.

448
00:17:27,133 --> 00:17:29,233
I had to take him down.

449
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:30,633
It's that simple.

450
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:34,266
He hit me in the head
because I told him about that car.

451
00:17:34,333 --> 00:17:38,200
He's told me, "[bleep] me.
I ain't ever getting paid."

452
00:17:38,266 --> 00:17:39,867
He drove off in the car.

453
00:17:39,934 --> 00:17:43,333
He halfway killed his girlfriend
with alcohol.

454
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,900
And then that crackhead girl,
his cousin next door...

455
00:17:45,967 --> 00:17:47,166
[Judge Acker] Sir, sir, no, please.

456
00:17:47,233 --> 00:17:49,400
We're not gonna call
the witness any names.

457
00:17:49,467 --> 00:17:50,533
That's not respectful.

458
00:17:51,633 --> 00:17:54,033
Did you ever put your hands
on the plaintiff, sir?

459
00:17:54,100 --> 00:17:56,600
Yeah, we had a altercation.

460
00:17:56,667 --> 00:17:58,467
- I did hit him. Yeah.
- You did hit him?

461
00:17:58,533 --> 00:18:01,367
The fact that you just admitted
to hitting him

462
00:18:01,433 --> 00:18:04,467
blows any affirmative defense
out of the water

463
00:18:04,533 --> 00:18:07,734
because if you guys are hitting each other
and acting inappropriately,

464
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,734
it's impossible from my perspective

465
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,233
for you to make out
the affirmative defense.

466
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,000
But I appreciate your testimony.

467
00:18:15,066 --> 00:18:16,734
I have nothing further.

468
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,367
We're gonna retire to deliberate
in this matter.

469
00:18:18,433 --> 00:18:19,800
Thank you both
and you could sit down again.

470
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,133
[Byrd] Court now stands in recess.

471
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,633
Parties are excused.

472
00:18:23,700 --> 00:18:26,700
[dramatic musical sting]

473
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,233
Well, clearly, they were
two interesting characters

474
00:18:30,300 --> 00:18:33,266
and their poor witnesses
got the brunt of their behavior.

475
00:18:33,333 --> 00:18:36,000
But nevertheless,
I think they were both credible

476
00:18:36,066 --> 00:18:38,700
and I think that the plaintiff
purchased the vehicle,

477
00:18:38,767 --> 00:18:41,000
put it in both their names
so he could get insurance

478
00:18:41,066 --> 00:18:43,800
because he wanted the defendant
to drive him around,

479
00:18:43,867 --> 00:18:45,867
that the defendant in his own way

480
00:18:45,934 --> 00:18:48,834
admitted that there was an agreement
that he make payment on it.

481
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:52,900
I believe the plaintiff that it was only
for half and not for the full amount.

482
00:18:52,967 --> 00:18:57,734
I do believe the defendant when he said
he gave him $400 for whatever reason,

483
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,767
and the plaintiff agreeing
that he gave him $400,

484
00:19:00,834 --> 00:19:04,667
which means that if the car
was valued at 3,200,

485
00:19:04,734 --> 00:19:07,467
he would owe 16 minus the four,

486
00:19:07,533 --> 00:19:10,066
which brings it down to $1,200.

487
00:19:10,133 --> 00:19:15,400
I don't think, however, that the defendant
is responsible for the $1,300 in insurance

488
00:19:15,467 --> 00:19:19,000
because he was using the car, the
plaintiff, really, to drive him around.

489
00:19:19,066 --> 00:19:21,567
He kinda knew
that there was financial limitations

490
00:19:21,633 --> 00:19:26,000
and he was a wise enough man to say,
"I want it insured when you're using it

491
00:19:26,066 --> 00:19:28,700
because I don't wanna risk
that you're not going to pay it.

492
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:30,033
And so I'm paying it."

493
00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:31,367
I guess he assumed after that,

494
00:19:31,433 --> 00:19:34,100
the defendant would continue
to pay the insurance,

495
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:35,333
but the defendant left.

496
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,367
Listen, it's clear that the personality
on the plaintiff

497
00:19:38,433 --> 00:19:41,934
could be somewhat abrasive for a guy
who I think is an easygoing,

498
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,667
very sensitive, low-key man
like the defendant.

499
00:19:45,734 --> 00:19:48,400
So, I could see him feeling
that he was being attacked

500
00:19:48,467 --> 00:19:50,367
and abused on some level.

501
00:19:50,433 --> 00:19:53,533
I was going to ask the granddaughter,
"Does he ever get like that with you?"

502
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,166
- But I'm sure she--he does indeed.
- [Judge Acker] What was that? Yeah.

503
00:19:55,233 --> 00:19:56,800
Like, you know. And I'm sure that...

504
00:19:56,867 --> 00:19:57,867
- Don't make it throw...
- ... she gets a joke yet.

505
00:19:57,934 --> 00:19:59,533
Don't make it throw her grandfather
under the bus.

506
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,734
So, I was gonna say, "Did with us."

507
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,767
Anyway, I think he's entitled to $1,200.

508
00:20:02,834 --> 00:20:04,066
- [Judge Levy] I agree.
- That's the short part of it.

509
00:20:04,133 --> 00:20:05,667
- Right on board.
- All right. Let's go.

510
00:20:05,734 --> 00:20:07,133
Well done.

511
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,333
[dramatic musical sting]

512
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,767
[Byrd] Court is back in session.

513
00:20:11,834 --> 00:20:13,700
I remind parties, you're still under oath.

514
00:20:13,767 --> 00:20:15,300
[Judge DiMango] Thank you, Byrd.

515
00:20:15,367 --> 00:20:16,600
Well, the bottom line here is,

516
00:20:16,667 --> 00:20:21,066
you did purchase a car, Mr. Moore, $3,200

517
00:20:21,133 --> 00:20:23,400
so that the defendant and you

518
00:20:23,467 --> 00:20:26,300
could take care of the tasks
that you needed done for you.

519
00:20:26,367 --> 00:20:28,867
Because of that, he gave up his vehicle,

520
00:20:28,934 --> 00:20:30,100
but the plaintiff did say

521
00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:32,800
that you were only gonna owe him
for half of the vehicle.

522
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:36,700
We also believe
that the both of you did say

523
00:20:36,767 --> 00:20:39,567
you gave him $400 for whatever reason

524
00:20:39,633 --> 00:20:42,000
and he did say he got $400 from you.

525
00:20:42,066 --> 00:20:46,867
So, if you were gonna pay half, 1,600,
for the vehicle and you gave him 400,

526
00:20:46,934 --> 00:20:50,066
that means that the $1,200 he's asking for

527
00:20:50,133 --> 00:20:53,700
would be due and owing from you to him.

528
00:20:53,767 --> 00:20:54,934
In exchange for that,

529
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,333
we are going to remove
Mr. Moore's name from the title.

530
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,000
So you will now be full owner
of that vehicle.

531
00:21:03,066 --> 00:21:05,900
With regard, Mr. Moore, to the $1,300

532
00:21:05,967 --> 00:21:09,300
in the insurance that you paid
for the one year,

533
00:21:09,367 --> 00:21:11,900
we all believe that you did pay for it
for the year

534
00:21:11,967 --> 00:21:14,834
so that you were sure
you were being driven around

535
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,900
and that maybe he was going
to pay for it afterwards

536
00:21:17,967 --> 00:21:21,633
but he pulled out of this whole situation
before that happened.

537
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:23,600
And so there was no agreement

538
00:21:23,667 --> 00:21:26,633
that he reimburse you for that $1,300.

539
00:21:26,700 --> 00:21:30,000
So as it stands,
we are going to award you, sir,

540
00:21:30,066 --> 00:21:32,033
$1,200 for the vehicle,

541
00:21:32,100 --> 00:21:34,233
which he now will be the full owner of.

542
00:21:34,300 --> 00:21:38,300
And we are not going to grant that portion
of your request for the $1,300.

543
00:21:38,367 --> 00:21:41,333
He did say he's gonna pay the 1,300
for the insurance

544
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,734
if I said I would pay it, and I paid it.

545
00:21:44,266 --> 00:21:46,266
He left the money after I paid it.

546
00:21:46,333 --> 00:21:47,400
[Judge DiMango] Okay.

547
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:50,600
- Well, we will have...
- And didn't even come help me out.

548
00:21:50,667 --> 00:21:52,233
He helped her out.

549
00:21:52,300 --> 00:21:56,033
His own family told me, "Go to hell."

550
00:21:56,100 --> 00:21:58,767
So, we wanna say
that the verdict is unanimous

551
00:21:58,834 --> 00:22:01,967
and that it's in your favor, sir,
for $1,200.

552
00:22:02,033 --> 00:22:03,767
- [gavel bangs]
- [Moore] That's not a payslip though.

553
00:22:03,834 --> 00:22:05,266
[Byrd] This case is now concluded.

554
00:22:05,333 --> 00:22:07,233
Parties are excused. You may step out.

[theme music plays]

556
00:22:10,367 --> 00:22:13,633
I found out his personality was changing.

557
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:15,967
And it gradually changed and got worse.

558
00:22:16,033 --> 00:22:17,266
You never know.

559
00:22:17,333 --> 00:22:20,934
They gave it to him
and he came up to my house.

560
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,367
Both of them together say,
"Ah, yeah, I bought Mike a car."

561
00:22:24,433 --> 00:22:27,767
He kept telling the whole family,
"I bought Mike a car." Okay.

562
00:22:27,834 --> 00:22:30,333
It is what it is. Let's go.

563
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:31,934
It is my car now.

Did someone break an agreement?
