The wallet contained her driver's license, debit card, and casino cards.
She believed Mrs. Trujillo took this property.
Christina also claimed that calls were made from her phone after her incarceration.
She stated her cell phone was never returned to her.
Dismissed Charges
Charges against both parties were eventually dismissed.
This occurred because no one showed up in court.
Both sides decided to let the matter go at that time.
Judge Judy Questions Credibility
Judge Judy questioned Mrs. Trujillo about her memory of the incident.
Mrs. Trujillo stated she takes a lot of medication.
She admitted she did not remember the exact time of the incident.
Judge Judy expressed concern about her ability to testify accurately.
The judge noted that Mrs. Trujillo's husband had to correct her earlier statement about the arrival time.
Contradictions in Testimony
A significant contradiction emerged during the testimony.
Christina Kidos had told the police that Mrs. Trujillo hit Ray Paul first.
However, Ray Paul, Christina's husband, testified differently.
He admitted that he threw the coke at Mrs. Trujillo first.
This directly contradicted Christina's statement to the police.
Judge Judy highlighted this discrepancy.
She noted that Ray Paul's admission impacted Christina Kidos's credibility.
Ray Paul's Admission
Ray Paul's admission was a key turning point.
He stated, "Out of anger, I did."
Judge Judy emphasized that anger was not a justification.
She told him he had no right to touch Mrs. Trujillo.
She stated, "You have no right to do that."
She also addressed the text messages Mrs. Trujillo sent.
Judge Judy said Mrs. Trujillo had a right to her opinion.
She could think Ray Paul was a "loser."
She could express that opinion.
The Pepper Spray Evidence
The police report corroborated Mrs. Trujillo's account of being pepper-sprayed.
The officer found pepper spray on Ray Paul.
Mrs. Trujillo's facial irritation was consistent with pepper spray exposure.
Judge Judy noted that the police report did not fully capture the sequence of events.
She stated that Mrs. Trujillo was on the floor with Christina rubbing pepper spray in her eyes.
Christina's Property Claim
Christina Kidos claimed her cell phone wallet was taken.
She said she had proof that calls were made from her phone after her incarceration.
One call was a text to her brother-in-law in Phoenix.
She had the time and date of this text.
Judge Judy questioned who might have made the call.
She pointed out that Christina's mother, father, and older sister were in the house.
They were there after Christina was taken to jail.
It was possible one of them contacted the brother-in-law.
Christina stated the text was "something simple," not vicious.
Judge Judy noted that Christina did not know who texted him.
It could have been her mother, father, or sister.
Christina also mentioned her phone disappeared after that.
Judge Judy's Ruling
Judge Judy addressed Christina Kidos's counterclaim for property theft.
She found the evidence insufficient.
She dismissed Christina Kidos's case.
Judge Judy indicated that Mrs. Trujillo's case for assault against Ray Paul was strong.
She stated that Ray Paul "has to pay for that."
The specific amount awarded to Mrs. Trujillo was not detailed in the provided transcript.
