Stealing a Family
Ойын-сауық
The plaintiff alleges the defendant stole her late husband’s Jet Ski out of a storage unit, so she’s suing. The defendant argues he used to work for the plaintiff’s husband, and the man offered the Jet Ski as partial payment, so he denies owing.

That's not how this works, no. She hired him as his lawyer, and his job was NOT to talk her out of going to court--it was to get her the best legal advice he could, and then let her make the decisions. He was there in case she needed to consult with him, but not to speak since it was small claims court.

Yes she looks very sad and hasn't really been coping with her husband's death accordingly. It's almost painful to hear her speak. Her attorney is even worse because he knew she didn't have sufficient evidence to proof her case. The money she spent to bring this attorney to PPC she should have spent it on a good therapist. You can see that she is sad, angry and doesn't know who to blame and how to get rid of those feelings. I feel for her.

Very true
She didn’t expose the defendant. She only exposed her own problems. I don’t think she knew the deals her husband had struck and won’t accept it.
She's calling up the current owner and telling him he has stolen property. She's bragging in the post-verdict interview about all the people who she told about the defendant who knew she was there today. If she's not careful, she could just as likely find herself at the other podium facing harassment/defamation charges.

Feelings versus facts. That lawyer didn’t wanna talk because all he could probably say was, I told you so. 😂
Even after her husband’s death, life goes on for the employees.. the defendant waited 1.5 years to be paid what he was owed.. I liked the way the defendant conducted himself. Wasn’t angry over being called a thief or spoke out of turn. He had truth on his side.
All this fuss and a lawsuit over a wave runner makes no sense. I can tell she is grieving and she thinks she's entitled to this property, but she has no proof.
Yes, definite mis placed anger!
I would think family photos would have more value to her than a waverunner. I think she was just directing her anger over her husband's death at the plaintiff. Owning a waverunner won't bring him back.

SHE WRONG for defaming that guy as THIEF!! Shee need to STOP before he sue her..
Her theory that he stole it to make up for the money she owed him makes no sense at all. He billed her after the death, and he acquired the PWC before the death. And it's very unlikely that a thief would sell stolen goods to a co-worker who's known by the family

The lawyer didn't want to talk because the lawyer is taking this grieving woman for a ride. He's not there for free and I guarantee he knew how it would end.
The fact that the Defendant had a bill of sale/title and was able to register it, kind of backs up the fact that the Plaintiff's husband gave the jetski to the Defendant as partial payment. Her attorney should have advised her against bringing this to court. She just doesn't have the proof to back up her allegations.
She didn’t even know it was gone. It’s almost like one day she woke up and just decided she wanted it now.
The lawyer really didn’t want any part of this foolishness😂
The plaintiff is wrong and doesn't want to accept it. The defendant had evidence and she only demonstrated that she's delusional and needs to move on. This woman needs some major therapy. She looks a bit unstable. Her attorney didn't want to say anything because he knew she didn't have leg to stand on this.

I have a question. She said that after her husband passed away the defendant kept sending requests to get paid. Why is he sending her requests to get paid if the Wave Runner was promised him as payment? So he took the Wave Runner and he was paid for the job by the wife after her husband passed away, but nobody brought this out. If you took both payments for one job then he owes the plaintiff one payment back and that would be the $2,500. No? Maybe I’m wrong but it just occurred to me after watching the video that it sounded like he had been paid twice, once by her given in payments and then by the husband giving him the WaveRunner for payment for work done.

Her lawyer know but she’s hard headed . Shame on you lady
she should pay him for slander and defamation.
I doubt her husband talked about every detail of everything he did. ESPECIALLY when they are in "estate settling" mode knowing the end is near. I have number of clients how have been there and a lot of thing don't hold the same importance.
She is never gonna let it go. If he wants any peace from her, he'd be better off just giving it back. If I legally purchased something and the previous owner came and told me they had made a mistake and said it meant a lot to their family - I wouldn't feel comfortable keeping it. This lady needed a project to focus on and someone to be mad at. This is sadly part of a very human grieving process. This guy just ended up being a target.
If I had to guess the husband figured $2000 cash would be better than a wave runner. People change when they know they are dying.
The friend knew exactly what to do. Register it out of state. Some thieves are really good and some are really bad. Sadly this didnt work out for the wife.
Prayer of Second Amendment Husbands - "My our widows not sell our guns for what we told them we paid for them."
She was a classy lady who, as the judge described, was placing so much value on a rather insignificant item. She is still in mourning and obviously this was part of her grieving process. Hope she gets healing!
Omg you just wasted your time and money to hire a lawyer for a rusty car😂
I feel so terrible for her. I'd imagine maybe the husband knew it would take some of the financial burden off of her. My issue is she actually said she finished paying for the work after that man got payment for it. He is shady.
The lawyer doesn't want to get involve in her craziness.He doesn't want to lose clients,because people might think that he advised her to come to court,when she doesn't have a case.
Last stage of cancer and he out riding a wave runner? A little unbelievable.
I'm very sorry to hear your husband passed, the thief in the courtroom is the lawyer sat to your right, he spent the whole time praying the judge wasn't going to say something to him. Get a new family lawyer.
She wanted to sell the wave runner herself to pay off the bills, and didn't realize her husband already sold it. She doesn't care about the memories associated with the old wave runner.
