Almost felt like crying the fact he said thank you for buying the car for me even after the judges ruling says a lot about this young man My prayer is that God will be his strength and protect him and bless his hands in everything he does the sincerity really just spoked too my Heart and this was a very honorable Episode .

I LOVE JM. I’m glad he wasn’t overly critical of the defendant. Young people typically avoid communication not because they don’t want to pay but because they don’t know how to communicate and are afraid that the plaintiff would not have understood. We need to teach young people rather than condemning them.

I live for the history and the knowledge that Judge Mathis provides. It gives me a greater and more expansive perspective on Detroit.

Great episode! Opened up my eyes to another world out there. What Judge Mathis teaches I can't find in no books. I'm gonna start calling him, "The Professor!" JM educates, motivates, and adds a pinch of good humor.🤓

I have a small family and we struggle from time to time. I wish I had someone to even borrow a few dollars from time to time but I figure it out and make it through. Blows my mind how people have someone willing to help them and then screw them over. Really crazy.

he was a respectful young man and with these types of cases we dont really see that ❣

This may be so random, but to ole girl that’s always in the background with the pink cardigan on… I see you girl! Yes, for the weight loss. You looking real good! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

That brother in the striped Polo shirt be on all the episodes 😂

😂😂I guess the defendant thinking I didn't come here to be educated 😂😂

We called them “The Jump Out Boys.” They’d come through in a paddy wagon and confront anyone of any age outside. I remember being on the bball court with a group of kids. We were fifth graders and just playing ball. We were literally shouting hoops and talking about a report we all had to do as a prerequisite for graduation. They jumped out ran up on us hands in the guns. They were yelling at us and made us lay on the ground. I didn’t live there but a friend who lived there asked for my help on the report. I tried showing them the paper of notes I was writing for them. They didn’t care. I’ve hated cops since.

when the plaintiff said “I had good insurance” and shook his head and smiled in regard to his rehabilitation 😂😂😂😂😂

He apologized at the end.. He'll be okay. Just needs continued encouragement

Whelp kudos to Mathis for this case! Hope he gives the young Man some counseling and some assistance in getting into college!

He's like her goddaughter😂 I know he's nervous😅

I know this is an olde episode but I hope that someone got into this young man's ear and let him know that college isn't the only way. Trade school. Studying tech for 9 months. The military. College can be great but generally it comes with great debt. The military will pay for your education after you get out of the service.

Love judge Mathis ❤Had the pleasure of meeting him when he came to my hometown of Muskegon Hts, Michigan 💪🏾😎...It was thousands of ppl there!!😎

A lot of folks coming down hard on that young man. A two parent household doesn't necessarily mean your parents know about going to college. Especially if neither has ever been. He's young and he's respectful. If someone pointed him in the right direction he'll be alright.

I forgot what the plaintiff was even suing about

I'm not from Detroit but i always love the cases when the plaintiff and/or defendant is from Detroit and JM chit chats about what's going on there.

16:20 Buddy in the back was def getting tired of Judge ranting 😂😂😂

I feel like me and the lady behind the plaintiff was having a stare off in the beginning 😂😂 anyways she looks good and has lost ALOT of weight ❤️

I agree with what judge said about the police department situation.

I like this format if brining in people and getting to understand the thinking behind the actions

Ain't no way JM gon' sneak that last remark in like that and walk off 😂😂😂😂😂

Good policing...that man probably got a crush on that boy

Probably one of the most wholesome episodes I’ve seen on this show ❤️ love JM

The plaintive sound like Michael Jackson when he talks

God I pray to be as the Plaintiff. It's not easy to stop crack cravings...Put me in your prayers and my name is Victory

We need to increase police funds and create hybrid teams that include an officer, a mental health specialist, and a community based representative. These teams are what’s needed in todays environment to effectively police the communities.

He ranted like crazy in this one 😅😅😅

JM was so nice. He must be in a great mood. I hope the kid can learn to be a man

The defendant wasn't going to win this case no matter what he said because he had no defense. But best thing to do always when deciding to purchase a home or vehicle is to get something new otherwise you may end up in an untoward circumstance.

The lady in the audience lost alot of weight🙌🏽

JM know damn well he ain’t never shot at no damn cops😅😅😅 Bffr

Seems like a good kid. He just should have communicated about having to get the car fixed.

I'm here its Thursday

The defendant just went back to school!!! The School of Mathis!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This episode had to be the most educational one I’ve seen👏🏾👏🏾

And they have the same badge as the slave hunters, to lynch rape and murder😢

Mathis swear he got street clout 😂

The kid said, he think about going to college to play basketball 🤦🏾‍♂️. Get that young man some guidance

Thank you Judge Mathis for all the knowledge you give us.. Judge Joe Brown I really like his shows until they got him off the air... Love it !!

not everyone goes to college right after high school. you can go to college at any age

Great discussion.

JM, the Honorable Mayor Coleman A. abolished the Detroit Police STRESS unit shortly after he took office as Mayor in 1974. Mayor Young deemed STRESS a racist police unit also called it an execution squad rather than a police squad that targeted blacks in the City of Detroit. You were 💯correct much respect, Detroit in the house.

The nicest JM has ever been to a crackhead!..LOL

If he was in his death bed sounds like addiction to me sir

14:23 " And ma'am what do you have to say to this?" 😂

I really like the lady behind watching and smiling at times. She looks so cute. ❤❤❤

This was a good case! Lessons were learned ! 👏👏👏

I've learned from judge Mathis that Detroit ain't for me ,iam black but I ain't trying to get murdered

WOW, if someone helped me like that I would pay every dime back because you never know when you will need them again, for some reason people like that always get those kind of breaks, someone like me who's honest & will pay back don't stand a chance lol!😊

Didn’t get me must haven’t been that good 😂😂

Is this a Talk Show or a Court Show?

Well to give my opinion that nobody asked for 😂 addiction is a form of mental illness. A "normal" or sound mind wouldn't even consider picking up those drugs in the first place. I believe that someone has to have already been suffering from some form of mental health to get on hard drugs. Whether it be ptsd, anxiety, depression etc... Hence why addiction is a disease. For example an eating disorder. When the mind is working properly it doesn't allow the body to overeat but when it's not and those receptors aren't telling the brain that the body is full it leads to an eating disorder. So it's the same with drugs in my opinion, when the receptors in the mind aren't working properly / or a chemical imbalance is present the mind is searching for something to feel good. Drugs can do that. A sound mind can smoke weed, and be done. A person that is suffering from mental health may not be able to "puff it and quit it"... they end up needing that feel good all the time, because they naturally can't produce the endorphins and dopamine to make them hence gateway drugs.

This is a GREAT episode 🎉🎉👍

Is this the real Judge Mathis??? 😅 Hes being Extra nice and kind. Bc that defendant was cleatly lying & making things up as he spoke

He must’ve ran with Gil Hill peoples back in the day

You know the subject got serious when JM lowered his voice and his tone deepened when he started talking about The Big 4 n the shotguns being pulled

Um Sir, Uncle Greg, Judge. If someone is using cocaine for 30+ years....they are addicted.

Lol yeah judge, don’t defund their crack and alcohol fund

Mathis let them do there case and good bye this is dragging on forever 🙄😏😲

JM swears he's a crack addiction connoisseur

I forward so far towards the end I damn near missed the episode....

Man has his wife putting cocaine up his nose while laying on his Deathbed... and you don't think he's addicted?? The effects of his addiction may not have been as detrimental as other drugs but he clearly has an addiction

@12:30 He Thought Buy him a Car Slob on the Knob.. Hear the Sweetness in the Voice

Who is the man and woman audience members? I see them regularly on Judge Mathis.

Before God can entrust you with power, He will give you an opportunity to wash Judas’ feet. If you are unwilling to do it, then you are not ready. Power is distributed whenever God sees that you are willing to love and even bless those that hate you. -Rev. Victor M. Jackson

So JM thinks a person that does drugs regularly for 30 40 years aren't addicted?

That's what guys say after they catch an STD...."She look clean"

Boy Mathis has no clout in the streets everybody know he wasn’t like that.

10:09 stfu please wanted to hear him say college basketball that's what he was going say b4 he was cut off

. He did this for other reasons . and when the young man wasn't with it he took him to court . Something is weird and creepy about the ex cop . 👀 🤔 . #YoungBoys . ?? .

I don’t think JM will ever understand the disease of addiction

I don't know a man more real than you Judge Mathis.I love you!😂

I wish I could pay $150/month for a car

Lmao JM NOW WAS SHOOTING AT THE POLICE... SMDH HE JUST TOO PROUD OF HIS THUG DAYS so called

“We not slaved we don’t think, some of us are” 😅

JM just admitted to shooting at the police...back in duh day

Good episode Both seems to be good men too.

JM talks entirely too DAMN MUCH😡

OMG ggggg, just hush and let folk speak, lol always trying to prove how much he know

Serious question: isn’t the song “cops shot the kid” about Detroit?

Jm let the man tell his story.

I have ADD and that causes me to have addictive traits (ciggs, candy, weed, etc). But I also know not to touch certain drugs because of it. I know if I like it a few times, Im gonna love it

Young and irresponsible!!! Got some learning to do!

if they did power forty years- THEY WERE ADDICTED. heck is mathis talkin bout ?

That’s finesse 2x in the cut at :53

Yes he do

If you've used it for 40 years aren't you addicted ?

I stayed on Montrose and Chicago i remember Budson and Nevers use to jump out on us before they murdered Malice Green R.I.P M.G🙏🏾

Point taken don't help anybody. Don't put anything on your credit, or give out large lump sums folk change after they get what they want from you

They allowed drugs in hospital or was he at home?

I swear if I have to go to court I just wanna get straight to the point,I guess because it’s televised,JM rammbled the entire episode, 😳 and he didn’t come here to get advice on colleges DAUM JM just get to the point!!!!!!

If judge Mathis worked , Prairie & Joy rd . He knows me too. 🙁

Judge so lame 🙄talking bout he was notorious 😒

JM, know he has hit that pipe 🙄🙄

He was about to say that he was thinking about going to college to play basketball. if you're any good trust me them recruiters would've been banging your door down.

“Like we did the police”
