JUDGED By Matt Walsh’ Ep. 11: Canine Chaos and Spooky Halloween
The summary revolves around the quirky and humorous TV show “JUDGED by Matt Walsh,” where the final episodes of the season feature unusual legal disputes. In one episode, Judge Walsh handles two distinct cases. The first involves Griff Akins, a Halloween enthusiast who sues his “husband-in-law” Jamie Carfi for accidentally breaking a cherished Tesla ball during a rainstorm. Despite Carfi replacing the ball, Akins claims the replacement doesn’t match the original’s quality, demanding $200 for the sentimental and monetary value. The episode adds a touch of humor with Carfi’s baldness being pointed out during a debate about the functionality of the Tesla ball.
The second case tackles a dog bite incident involving plaintiff Jessica Stratman, who sues her friend after being bitten at a party. Stratman contends she was trying to be friendly with the dog to show she wasn’t a threat, a technique she describes as “subliminal messaging” to communicate with the animal. However, Stratman’s claim takes a comedic turn when Judge Walsh questions whether her injury is a dog bite or just a papercut, and Stratman’s concern about uneven tanning from wearing a bandage adds to the light-hearted tone. Each case combines real legal dilemmas with witty commentary and humorous observations from Judge Walsh, providing entertainment while deliberating serious topics in an offbeat manner. The show culminates with unexpected conclusions that showcase the unique charm of ”JUDGED by Matt Walsh.”
It’s been a whole season of crazy cases and fair judgments on “JUDGED by Matt Walsh.”
The most esteemed judge in America insisted on only accepting cases of national importance, which is how we all got to enjoy such matters as exploding lips, roadkill taxidermy, magic tricks, and even a miniature bailiff. This season has been quite a ride.
But nothing good can last and now it’s time to enjoy the final two cases of the season. In episode 11, Judge Walsh listens and makes his ruling on a dog bite and a man who really, really loves Halloween decorations.
Up first, plaintiff Griff Akins opens by telling the judge he’s “really big into Halloween.”
He explained how he has a large display of animatronics that kids, including his own and children in the neighborhood, enjoy during the holiday.
“So you’re trying to lure the kids in the neighborhood to your house?” Walsh asked.
“For candy,” Akins confirmed.
“You have just testified in a court of law that you’re luring children to your house for candy,” the judge observed.
“For trick or treating. For Halloween purposes only,” the plaintiff insisted.
Next, he got to the heart of the case. Akins called the man he’s suing his “husband-in-law” to describe their relationship, which is that the defendant is married to the plaintiff’s ex-wife.
Akins said one day it started raining and they all began bringing the decorations into the garage. The defendant tripped and accidentally broke his Tesla ball (also sometimes called a plasma ball), a light-up interactive response lamp.
The plaintiff said he had acquired the decoration at Dave & Busters several years prior after spending “hundreds” on tickets to get it.
“Not exactly a financial whiz, are you?” Judge Walsh observed.
Then it’s time for defendant Jamie Carfi to tell his side of the story. He began by confirming he knocked over the Tesla ball, but said it was not on purpose.
After he broke the item, Carfi said he “apologized profusely” and ordered a replacement, which he provided a receipt for.
Akins acknowledged that Carfi bought a replacement, but said it was cheap and lightweight compared to the original. He came to court to sue his ex-wife’s husband for $200 to account for the sentimental plus monetary value of the original.
The plaintiff added that the new Tesla ball “doesn’t make your hair stand up.”
“It didn’t make my hair stand up,” Carfi, who is bald, replied, which caused the judge to react strongly.
“Is that a joke in my courtroom?” he demanded while repeatedly banging the gavel.
Finally, it’s time for the judge to deliver the verdict. “I have deliberated over the facts of this case. I now hold the decision and the fate of your souls in my hand,” Judge Walsh said. “First of all. Griff, you have come here seeking $200, which I have the power to grant you. But even I cannot give you the thing you really need. Which is, sir, your dignity.”
Tune in to “JUDGED” Episode 11 to discover the final conclusion, which includes a very exciting attempt for the plaintiff to show off his claw machine skills.
Next up, it was all about a dog bite and who’s at fault. Plaintiff Jessica Stratman said she’s suing her friend after being invited to a party at her house, where she was bitten by her dog.
Stratman said since they were close friends, she went into her friend’s bedroom to console two dogs who were being kept there in crates. She said she allowed one of the dogs to sniff her finger, but then he bit her.
“So you were just hoping that it would choose to smell the finger rather than bite it?” the judge asked.
“I was hoping to lend a kind hand to show that I am not a threat,” Stratman said. “I only choose to approach if you let me approach you.”
The plaintiff said she communicated her intentions to the dog via “subliminal messaging.”
She also admitted to being bitten by a dog before. After discussing a few more details of what happened, Stratman offered to show Judge Walsh the scar on her finger from the bite. She approached the bench, and the judge got out a giant magnifying glass to view her scar.
“Now are you sure that’s a dog bite and not a papercut?” the judge asked.
Stratman also discussed how she didn’t want to put a glove and bandage on the cut because of “uneven tanning.”
The plaintiff said she was suing for $1,200 to account for lost wages after she was injured.
Next, it was time for defendant Jessica Woolf to state her case.
“Miss Woolf, I’m hearing that you like to feed your friend’s limbs to her dogs,” Walsh said by way of greeting.
The defendant confirmed she was hosting a birthday party for her father with 100 people in attendance. She explained how the dogs were in crates in her room because they are both rescues and are “anxious” around a crowd of people.
Woolf said the dog that bit the plaintiff had bitten other people before. She said the animal had been abused by a previous owner.
The defendant said Stratman kept the bite a “secret” at first, then after it came to light, she acted like everything was fine between them. Woolf said she wasn’t aware her friend had to miss work until much later.
Woolf called it “ridiculous” that her friend refused to wear a bandage and therefore missed the week of work.
After hearing about another fight the girls had in school which involved Woolf taping a Pop Tart to the plaintiff’s face while sitting next to a dumpster during “Nutrition” at a public school in California, it was time to deliberate.
“Miss Stratman, many of the cases that I hear in this courtroom require lengthy, torturous deliberations. I have to inspect every angle, consider every detail. But not this case. In fact, I didn’t deliberate at all. I just went back and grabbed a quick snack. Or nutrition, as you call it. I guess I did not end up with any of it taped to my face,” Judge Walsh said.
