Justice with Judge Mablean

This is a horrible show. The litigants appear to be actors, who are horrible. Mablean's judgements are based on personal feelings and not the law. The cases seem fake and scripted.

This is the case where an obese male reserved 2 seats on an airline but was seated next to an obnoxious kid who called him fat, etc. and the mother did nothing, in fact, she was really rude to the gentleman and told him to mind his own business when he tried to correct the kid regarding the slur against him. The kid's tablet was broken and Judge Mablean didn't seem to sypathize with the man at all and charged him with the $700 or some odd cost for the tablet. I felt that was totally wrong, it encourages negative behavior from the kid and obviously the mother not correcting him. The kid is going to be in serious trouble unless he learns a lesson which he obviously didn't learn from him irresponsible mother or Judge Mablean. I'm surprised, usually Judge Mablean is very level headed with her rulings and comments.

Horrible actors, horrible cases. Just really really bad. It's a wonder this show even made it to tv.

First of all Ms. Mablean isn't a judge. She was a prosecutor and she knows the law but she is not a judge. That right there ought to tell you everything.

Secondly these aren't actual plaintiffs. They're actors. The cases might be real in that the producers have gone through actual cases to find some to dramatize on this show but there's no actual trial going on.

And lastly they use really bad actors. Often times you can tell they're acting. They're just not that good.

So watch it as a sit com or as a joke but don't take it seriously.

This could be a spoiler if you have not seen her 2014 cases. Stop reading if you haven't seen this episode and want to see it again if they run it. It has been on TV at least twice so far. I just saw the most horrendous case and ruling from this terrible judge. A young woman had religious beliefs that made her want to save sex for marriage. She told her boyfriend and they dated for 6 months and he said he "understood." Then he wanted to take her to Paris. He bought her lingerie and thought he could talk her into sex. When she said "no" again, he left her that night with half of a round-trip ticket, very little money so she couldn't stay in Paris or exchange her ticket for a different day flight to get home early. She took him to court to get the money back from the ticket exchange. She was very hurt and in tears. Judge Mablean first shouted at her to give details on what the girl WOULD let the boyfriend do. She and the boy repeatedly said, "Everything but sex." That wasn't good enough. She kept shouting and insisting that the girl should spell it out. And then asked her if this was how she "teased" the man. The young woman looked defeated and said. "sure." Mablean kept up questions about teasing the boy. Apparently in her mind, letting a man pet you or do other things is "teasing" him even if you have a prior understanding of no sex before marriage. So the Judge ruled against the girl who was left high and dry because she apparently deserved it for leading the guy on. I was appalled. Is this really what we want our young women to learn? As a women, you cannot date or engage in any physical contact unless you are willing to finish it and let the man have sex with you. Otherwise you are just teasing him. We apparently aren't allowed to have that choice. You either don't let the guy touch you (or maybe you just aren't allowed to set boundaries--but he can so he doesn't get frustrated) unless you are ready to have sex. In other words, the guys can have what they want. And what would she have ruled if he had forced himself on her? That she deserved it because she led him on? There are thousands of young woman out there who can love and have a man caress her but not have sex with her and they can have a lovely relationship and often leads up to marriage. It used to be that way for just about everyone. But now, idiots like this judge tell the men they deserve to have the sex they want because above all else, the men shouldn't be frustrated. Judge Mablean should be fired and muzzled so she doesn't hurt our young women any more than she has already.
