THIS EXCUSE DID NOT GO WELL IN COURT!
A Former Husband Seeks Bail Money Repayment
Imagine a courtroom where past relationships and present debts collide.
That is exactly what happens in this Judge Judy case.
Mr. LaBresh, the plaintiff, is suing his former wife, Molly LaBresh, and her mother, Anita Wilms.
He claims he bailed out Molly after her arrest.
He says both Molly and her mother agreed to be responsible for the bail money.
The Plaintiff's Claim
Mr. LaBresh states that the initial bail was $1,000.
He clarifies that Anita Wilms did not agree to pay the bill directly.
Instead, she promised to communicate to ensure Molly paid.
Molly, he says, promised to pay the bill.
Mr. LaBresh is seeking $4,786, which he later corrects to $4,871.
Molly LaBresh's Arrest History
Judge Judy asks Molly LaBresh about her arrest.
Molly states she was arrested for petty theft in 2008.
Judge Judy asks if that is the arrest in question.
Molly says no.
She was arrested in 2013 for a probation violation.
This violation was drug-related, a "dirty test."
She was facing about 180 days in jail.
Her longest prior incarceration was about a week.
A Complicated Past

Mr. LaBresh was then awarded custody.
Child Support and Disability

Molly states she does pay child support.
It was just ordered.
She was paying $100 a month in 2014.

Molly has physical disabilities, including back problems and sciatic nerve damage.
She receives approximately $928 a month from disability.
She applied for it in 1999 and was granted it in 2004.
Molly is 49 years old.
Judge Judy Questions Drug Use

Molly says she didn't have the money.
She claims $928 a month is barely enough to live on.
Judge Judy points out Molly was arrested for drug use in 2013.

Judge Judy states that if Molly had money for drugs, she had money to start paying back the bail.
Molly responds that drug addiction is an illness.

The Plaintiff's Evidence Under Scrutiny

Officer Bird is asked to read a phone number from the document.
The number is 7147714.
