THIS WHOLE CASE SMELLS TO JUDGE JUDY!
A Simple Moving Job Turns Complicated
Imagine hiring someone for a simple moving task.
Then things get weird.
That is exactly what happens in this courtroom.
The Parties and Their Claims
Jason Worley is the plaintiff.
He is suing for unpaid wages and storage fees.
William Johnston is the defendant.
He was hired by Worley to move a screen printing machine.
How They Met
Judge Judy asks Jason Worley how he met William Johnston.
Worley explains he called Johnston in March to move a screen printing machine.
It was a big machine.
He wanted it moved from his home to his storage unit.
Worley says he called Johnston because he heard Johnston was the cheapest in town.
The Moving Price Dispute
Worley states they discussed the price.
The agreed price was $75.
Worley claims he paid Johnston the full $75.
Judge Judy asks Johnston if this is correct.
Johnston says no.
He claims Worley only paid him $35.
Then Johnston drops a bombshell.
He says Worley requested a bag of marijuana as the rest of the payment.
Judge Judy's Nose for Trouble
Judge Judy pauses.
She tells Worley she has a "nose for what's going on."
She finds it ridiculous to believe Johnston would accept $35 cash and then hope for marijuana.
Worley admits he didn't pay the full $75.
He only had $35.
The Marijuana Discussion
Judge Judy asks Worley why he didn't pay the full amount.
Worley claims the marijuana discussion was at Johnston's request.
He explains Johnston walked into his house.
Johnston wanted something to drink.
Worley believes he got him coffee.
They started talking.
Worley's house smelled like pot because he was growing it.
Worley claims Johnston said he would be willing to work a trade.
Worley believes he has a text to prove Johnston had gotten marijuana from him before.
Johnston's Version of the Marijuana Offer
Judge Judy asks Johnston if Worley's account is true.
Johnston says no.
He admits he smelled marijuana.
He says Worley didn't pay him until the job was finished.
Then, Johnston claims, Worley offered to trade marijuana for the rest of the payment.
Judge Judy asks if Johnston agreed.
Johnston says he refused.
Judge Judy's Skepticism Grows
Judge Judy tells Johnston, "So far, slick, you're not doing well."
She reiterates that Johnston was supposed to move the machine for $75.
She notes that Johnston now claims he refused the marijuana.
This means Worley still owes Johnston $40 for the moving job.
The Car Deal Emerges
The case takes another turn.
Worley claims Johnston owns a parking lot or garage where he gets cars.
Worley was looking for a specific kind of car.
He says Johnston happened to have that car.
It was a 2000 Audi.
Judge Judy points out the inconsistency.
She questions why Johnston would enter into another deal with Worley.
Especially after Worley allegedly stiffed him on the moving job.
Judge Judy states, "See, Mr. Johnson, that doesn't make sense to me."
She finds it illogical that a grown man would deal with someone who shorted him $40.
She says, "The whole thing smells to me."
The Audi for Work Agreement
Worley claims Johnston had another car.
Johnston allegedly told Worley that if he worked on that car and got it in tip-top shape, he would give Worley the Audi.
Worley confirms this is what he says happened.
He states he worked on the car.
He got it into shape.
Then, Worley claims, Johnston would not give him the title to the Audi.
Worley says Johnston gave him a "forge" instead.
Judge Judy clarifies that Johnston wouldn't give him the title.
Worley agrees.
The Demand for Money
Now, Worley no longer wants the Audi.
He wants money for working on Johnston's other car.
Judge Judy addresses this claim.
She states there was no contract for money or an hourly wage for working on the car.
Judge Judy's Final Decision
Judge Judy tells Worley, "So you're not getting any money, Zippo, Nada."
Johnston tries to speak.
Judge Judy cuts him off.
She repeats, "No money."
She offers Worley an alternative.
If Worley wants the Audi, she will direct Johnston to sign the title over.
This is conditional on Worley having completed the work on the other car.
Johnston interjects again.
He claims Worley hasn't put the Audi in his name.
He also mentions working for Worley before.
Judge Judy dismisses his comments.
She states, "I don't care."
She reiterates that the contract was not for work for hire.
Johnston insists it was his contract.
Judge Judy concludes, "Oh, please.
I don't believe either one of you."
The case is dismissed.
