Out of her own mouth she said her son is 22 and needs to be held accountable.... she shoulda been saying that when she was reaching out for money to bond him out & AGREEING to pay the granddad back.

This ruling was completely ridiculous

I disagree with the judge's ruling. The woman called him asking for the $$ & agreed to pay him back. That is a VERBAL CONTRACT. He gave her more than adequate time to pay, but she had already made up in her mind, probably as she was on the phone asking for the money, that she had NO INTENTION OF PAYING A DIME OF IT BACK!! I think the judge blew this 1 just because the plaintiff was a man of the cloth & thinking he should turn the other cheek!!

Judge Mathis is extremely biased as a judge. Because she’s a single mother smh she shouldn’t have agreed to pay back Kmt

This isn’t legally correct at all. She called and asked for the money so she should have to pay it back. It doesn’t matter what the money is for she borrowed it!

I was completely shocked by the verdict of this case. Cases like this remind you that it’s a tv show and not actual court. On another note, he shouldn’t have charged interest.

Judge Mathis heard the word "pastor" and his whole mind lit up. He couldn't wait to get this man together 😄

Sorry JM. I disagree. A deal is a deal. She needs to come up with the bread. Ijs

She’s the one who ask to borrow the money. She should pay him back. And then have her son pay her back. It’s not the parents or grandparents fault that the young man decided to do whatever he did to get locked up.

This is why people don't watch this show anymore. JM had No legal basis to dismiss this case. She asked, he put $ in her hand and she doesn't have to repay? He's so damn emotional

Please explain to me how this man walked out the courtroom without getting his money. Judge Mathis is dead wrong for making this personal and unlawful decision. I don't care who it is. If you borrow money to go get a grown man out of jail then your responsible for paying it back. Also, JM kept calling him REV. It was JM that kept pushing the man to speak on his Ministry.

He should have went to judge Judy! Pastor or not! Ijs! Give that man his money

I love Judge Mathis and I know that he wants people to be inspirational is he is... but sometimes he goes too hard to these people who have changed their lives he really did not have to go so hard at this man

I think grandfather should have the grandson help him out the church to work off the money, or have all three of them pay him back

Mathis hit him with the "this is what we doing?????" That's my guy

He right the dad got to take responsibility too not just the mother

That was not fair. He is teaching women to use Single Mother as a way to beat people out of their money.

lmao judge mathis said forget what's legal 🤣

JM was a little tough on him... The plaintiff is thinking how most people would think.. " I loaned her the money and she owes me"

Wow JM be giving these women passes it’s crazy no matter the situation with the father she called to ask for the money plus her son is grown pay pops and make her son pay her back

I'd never give them another dime. This ruling was definitely unfair. She asked for the money.

Judge is right: the "child" is an ADULT. He has locus standi. Grand Pa should sue the ADULT son

Regardless of what the money was for she called and borrowed it.. theres ppl in my family who can’t borrow money from me but they wife can cause she pay back 🤷🏾‍♀️ maybe granddad prefer he stay in jail learn the lesson the judge learned????

Glad the grandfather is giving back and helping the community.

JM starting to get on my nerves. Ain’t nobody obligated to share their life story if they don’t want to!!!

He could have granted him half

JM Intimidated the plaintiff so bad he was scared to ask for his money. And had the nerve to ask the plaintiff what was “fair and just” while being totally unfair and unjust. 😳🤦🏽‍♂️

"$300 interest on top" says the preacher... Most Christian pastor thing I've heard in a while!

He should have went for both the parents, not just the mom. But, even better if he takes his grandson and have him work the money off. Pull together as a family unit.

Right or wrong, I always microscopically examine ex-drug dealers, drug addicts and jailbirds who suddenly want to preach. There are so many of them conning and scheming from the pulpit (particularly old, black women who need their money).

The plantiff is like "yeah yeah" ..like judge shut up please and let me speak 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Mathis be working my nerves talking to a grown man like that

It’s an injustice to ask for the money you loaned someone back ? … guess I missed that one 🤦🏽‍♀️

She has to pay because she borrowed the money, regardless of what it was used for. She chose to bail her adult son out of jail, the father is not responsible for him anymore. These are adult children.

As much as he should get the money from multiple ppl the ruling was wrong. Since when it matters what the money was for rather than the contract at hand!

Judge had this one wrong, the son didn't make the agreement. I would appeal this so fast. 😂

Dang JM wouldn’t even let that man talk.

She should’ve never agreed to pay him back. That’s a binding contract. If he goes to court with the son he can say he didn’t have an agreement with him. It’s just sad. Justice failed.

He can't ever even answer a question. He just blurts out random inspirational quotes 😂😂 what a pastor thing to do

He’s trifling hold your son accountable too

LOL JM is going to FORCE someone to tell their story whether they want to or not then ridicule/joke on them lol smh probably why they DON'T want to.

His son did not enter into any agreement with the plaintiff. You enter a contract you owe the obligation to the other party and not a person that isn’t part of the deal. I hate when Judge Mathis rules on personal sentiment and not rule of law.

AFTER watching this, all I can reiterate is, I LOVE JM, I really DO ❤️

Mr Reverend the Holy Scriptures say not to sue one another, secondly don't charge interest

I was so hoping that Grandad got his money back. This is why i don’t loan money to friends or family. 22 is old enough to be responsible for his actions!

Judge Mathis acts like this with anybody that says they are Christian. SMH

Sooo, you bails your grandson out of jail and then sues his mother...😒 Make it make sense, sir. Sir, you should have stayed home with this foolishness. 😂😂😂

Mathis is insane. If you mention God, or say you are not gay, two things happen. 1. You lose your case and 2. He will find every way he can to humiliate you. He’s simply crazy.

Yeah....I'm going to have to stop watching Judge Mathis. This ruling had no legal basis and was completely absurd! I've been extremely disappointed in Mathis lately.

First of all, I wonder what the grandson did to get bail set at $22k. Second, this case had me scratching my head. Although I understand where the judge is coming from with regard to holding both parents responsible, the son didn't ask for the money. In fact, he didn't even know his son was in jail, which is sad already. The plaintiff had to tell him. IDK about this one.

Concurred with the verdict. Dismissed without prejudice

The judge said get them birds not them 8 balls😂😂

She asked for the money by hee damn self. I get it about her raising the kids but that man should have got his money. She wrong.

I love Judge Mathis but he was completely wrong for this judgment. That pastor deserves his money back.

She could sue her son daddy. And stop borrowing money from the Grandfather or let the grandkids stay in jail until they learn that their is more to life than living life as a slave in prison.#OBP BLUESMAN

Well I kinda knew the case would turn out like that but hoped it wouldn't. I was hoping that the man would get the judgment and the woman would have to sue her son. I think that's how it would usually go but the guy came in with his back history and swelling morality and I guess JM believed he has a greater moral responsibility. This is grey. I get everyone's points. I think that if you're in jail, you should pay back those monies paid for your life betterment. I feel like if you ask for the money to help someone get out of jail, you're on the hook also because you want this to happen. Also, if you're a minister, and a woman is taking care of her sons without help, you could have at least done half.

Judge Mathis made a just moral ruling. I am happy that JM enlightened Pastor on how much this woman has done for his grand and how little accountability Pastor is assigning to his son. Prayers for the mother. I suggest she go to Nar-Anon for Families

What kind of law is? She called him, she promised to pay him back but the Judge won’t make her fulfill her obligation, wow, smh…

JM is wrong legally for this ruling but logically he’s absolutely right !!

This was a first. She made the deal with him and she still owes him.

Also, since your son should be sued for the money, you should’ve had that same thought process and LEFT HIM IN JAIL like Judge Mathis’ mom did. I’m surprised he didn’t bring that up! Smh… sad case and ruling.

Judge Mathis was right. Him Trying to hold her 100% responsible when his dead beat son is not contributing is absurd.

once again JM thinking with his emotions instead of the law ….

Judge Mathis so thirsty for the gossip he won’t let the preacher speak. He wanted him to go into detail about WHY he was shot and stabbed.

Get them bird’s…get your weight up 😂😂😂😂Judge Mathis a fool for that one

She needs to stop getting her Son out. When they get out quick they typically don’t learn a lesson.

If she wanted her son to have a sense of responsibility she should have left him in jail. You don't borrow money with the intentions of not paying back.

I hope his followers saw this and realized the type of chauvinistic man they’re following and and go someplace else. The burden has been on her all those boys life and his son ain’t helped at all.

These names are the best part

How you a pastor but gonna charge your own family $300 in interest 😂

She called for the money. She should have returned it and go after her son

She called and asked for the money! Not his son. This don’t make no sense. Very crazy ruling

The fact that this "Pastor" charged interest on a loan intended to help his own grandchild tells me all I need to know. 🙄 That and his claim of wanting to help others change their lives but is hesitant to admit that he was a drug dealer. 😒

Judge Mathis with all due respect please be quiet and let the litigants SPEAK! It’ll answer most of the questions you interrupt to ask. You spoke to this man with such disrespect.

He said his son said that he didn't have it , she asked for it so she needs to pay him.

Omg wtf is wrong with JM??? He is beating this man down for no reason. I guarantee if this was someone from the LGBT community this case would've went a different way.

I agree with the judge this time. This pastor needs to be checked. Not only is he unjust by not holding his son accountable and the grandson but he’s greedy as hell charging her interests like he’s going to report that interest income to the IRS. Shame on him.

This is a disgrace, if he's tired, he shouuld just retire.

The way she was laughing when she said my side is makes me believe that her side is bullshit

She’s the one that made the agreement. Point blank.

Judge Mathis is 100% wrong on this one. The defendant is the one borrowed the money and agreed on the terms. Judge could ask the plaintiff to forgive not to rule basing on his emotions and ignored the law (agreement) which the defendant confirmed that she agreed with the terms of borrowing.

Morally, I agree with judge Mathis. But legally, SHE asked to borrow the money. So SHE is supposed to pay it back. I don’t think it’s fair that the plaintiffs case was dismissed

"if you gonna be down, be down" say less judge, let me go hit the plug now

Omg. Why is fussing with the Pastor?

Jm was full of shit for that ruling. If she didn't want to pay she should left his ass in jail. What the hell does being A pastor have to do with needing to be paid back for A loan.

I usually like judge Mathis but he was very rude to this man very disrespectful

“They need to start their own business” ….I agree 💯%!!!

He should be ashamed suing this woman

I don’t care who raised him 100% of the time. She called him for the money. She didn’t call and make an agreement with the father and grandfather. Also, that son is an adult. Regardless of the past, this is a current situation as an adult resulting in a mistake that he made, so why should the father or the grandfather be held liable… or Even the mother? This was a loan… Plain and simple! She should be ashamed of herself for trick bagging the grandfather, knowing that he would have some sort of soft spot that she could play on.

JM is WRONG here. She made a contract directly with him. I'd like Judge Mathis to explain in which situation legally can one person make a contract with an entity or another person and then another party (who has nothing to do with the contract) be held liable?... he wrong for this one.

JM has lost his mind! He did not follow the law on this one! The agreement was made between the plaintiff and the defendant! Not his son! The judgement should have gone in favor of the plaintiff ***BY LAW!*** I think JM is thinking of his own situation growing up on many of his cases; how his mother was a single parent and his father wasn't there to help out. That's why he rules the way he does. He doesn't even follow the law anymore. Shameful!

People are afraid to say their a Christian because JM always ends up mocking them. The mother made the agreement, dad was going to let him stay in jail.

Well. She’s the one who called and asked for the money period. She should be held responsible. Period.

JM be on that bs sometimes. First off he be acting like he was nino brown in the streets. He making fun of what the plantiff went thru. She asked him for the money and said she would pay him back.

All he had to say was she asked for the money. She borrowed the money she should pay it back. Bad ruling Judge Mathias 👎

And the Pastor says ...go head and add $300 to it....WOW...the greed😑

Now JM you know you are sooooooo wrong for not letting this man get his money.

Wow if I was the guy I would be pissed and taking this to a higher court. She literally admitted she asked to borrow it and agrees to pay it back plus interest. The son didn’t call him bc if he did he prob would have told him no! She called therefore she should be the one paying it back. The judge picks and chooses and was extremely biases in this case and he shouldn’t be able to rule on his feelings!!

He could've sat in jail but SHE called asking for the loan, so SHE should pay it back, regardlessif the dad wants to help, or not. That'swhat mom's do!. Period!

Reverend thought he was going to walk up in there and win started to change his tune when he realized judge Mathis wasn’t having it 😂
