Judge Mathis

I'm so sick of all the crack jokes. If crack is apart of the case I understand but usually it's not. Watching him is demeaning to people in general. He tries to start stuff between the litigants. Sometime I wonder if he's on crack. He does the motion like he's stirring up the batch. Not professions at all. I'm watching this with my husband. If I continue I may end up on crack.I wish I could give a negative 5 star.

Judge Mathis is not a fair judge. His show does not resemble a true small claims court. He does not listen to both sides, refuses to consider evidence and listens to witnesses who have nothing to do with the case at all. He comes across as a racist, bigot and a white woman hater. Especially if the poor woman is overweight. He thinks his comments are funny, but he is cruel and would not allow anyone to speak that way to him. Especially coming from the streets, he of all people should know better. With judges like him in our courts, thank god he is only on TV, racism will never go away in our country. Thank the lord that in 27 years as a police officer in Dade County, FL I never stood before a judge as rude as he is.

Watched Judge Mathis for years. He used to be funny when called for and serious as well. His misspent youth was used as a platform to help defendants turn their life around. Now it's the Greg Mathis Comedy hour. I find him to present a meanness that wasn't there before. He has already determined the fate of the accused before all the evidence has been presented. He accuses anyone with a smart comeback, even if it's meant as a joke, of trying to put one over on him. Too bad.☹️

Judge Mathis is the best! He always makes me laugh, because he goes off tangent sometimes when dealing with a case. He'll ask some awkward questions that aren't relevant to the case. But who cares. He has a good sense of humor, and listens to both sides of the case. Unlike those other court shows like Judge Judy who gets mad for the stupidest little things. Judge Mathis doesn't get mad if even the defendant interrupts, and is very funny. He is also fair and caring towards both parties when it comes to his final judgment of a case. If you don't have the evidence, he will of course have to dismiss your claim. But then again any judge would do the same.

On yesterday's episode, he told a lady to "get the hell out" of his courtroom. The plaintiff was attempting to explain why she relinquished custody of her 9-month old child to the grandparents. Her reason sounded legitimate to me, but he didn't want to hear it. Even when the plaintiff explained that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer, he did not show much compassion for this. At one point, he said no one feels sorry for her because she gave away her child as an infant. The child, which was born a male, was now a transgender female who, according to the mother, had lied to a married couple about his/her parents having been killed in a car crash and needing money to buy clothes for the funeral. The judge never addressed the defendant's alleged crime of obtaining money by false pretenses. His ire towards the plaintiff was extreme.
