'Not Just an Old Lady' & 'It’ll Cost a Couch Arm and a Leg' & 'He’s Got a Chicken Bone to Pick'
Podcast: The People’s Court PodcastPublished On: Thu Aug 07 2025
Description: First, the plaintiff hired the defendant to fix her roof. She claims the defendant stole an envelope of money from her, then left. She’s suing for stolen money and the cost of a polygraph test. The defendant argues the plaintiff handed him the envelope, and he told her it didn’t have the correct amount in it. He agreed to a polygraph test already and it didn’t prove a thing. He’s countersuing for loss of work, a tarp, and wood supplies. Then, the plaintiff says her neighbor fell asleep on her couch and broke off the arm. She’s suing for the cost of repairs. The defendant argues she doesn’t weigh enough to break the couch, whereas she thinks the plaintiff could. Plus, the plaintiff moved out of apartment that he rented from the defendant. He says they did a walk-through together and there wasn’t any damage, but then the defendant sent him a letter saying he wouldn’t get his security deposit back due to the condition of the apartment. He’s suing for the money he thinks he’s owed. The defendant argues the apartment was in terrible condition with chicken bones strewn around and broken appliances.
