The defendant thought they did work it out having it cleaned but the plaintiff wants a new couch.!

What cheap people ? $700 paid by peoples court! However just pay and save the embarrassment.

Thank you for saying what needed to be said!

Totally agree. Particularly when the defendant has gone to considerable length to remedy the situation.

I agree. I've never sued anyone. I've loand people money from 3 thousand bought a car for 5 thousand the person come took their car gave me 2 thousand back. Never sued they were family. Never spoke to them again. Because they never paid their loans back to me. And I was back than kind of person that couldn't say no. I loaned a very large a mount hoping in return to get extra money. It was some kind of investment. LOL ....... I lost everything end up in apartment for a while. Not a very good life. So moved back home with x/ husband. Been here 5 yrs pay him rent and 3rd of all utilities. Which is fare. Never will i be friends with anyone. And I trust NO ONE !!!!!

Exactly.

Yeah I couldn't bring myself to do it either

@@annward4149 that’s a sad story. It would be less sad if tou actually sued them. Trust isn’t the main problem. You need to not only hold yourself accountable for your action, but the people you choose to trust also. That is why it is good to sue.

And I believe it

@@Vudux I do too!

😂😂

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🤣😂😂😂

Very 🤣🤣

All I could visualize was a smelly home that needs some deep cleaning 🤮

And the defendant is unfair as well as I would offer to, at least, pay for 50% of a new couch.

Already paid to have it professionally cleaned. If the couch is ruined then just get a new couch! The woman acts like the mother did it on purpose

I could.. but I wouldn't do it on TV!!!!

they both are SHAMEFUL the defendant should have paid up to avoid embarrassing her mom too

mama had dementia. she should be in adult diapers

I came looking for this comment 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@ktzep Same

Not very many people caught that joke.

@@vicO1323 oh my gosh I couldn't believe I didn't see anyone with him laugh. Freaking Harvey dad jokes! 🤣

🤣🤣🤣

"funk factor" 🤣... perfect 😅

I agree

or you can just replace the couch. Just because your mom is incontinent doesnt mean everytime I lay my head down, I wish to be reminded that my new couch has been peed on

@@puzzliteor just replace the cushion she peed on. like the guy said it’s possible to have seeped into the actual cushion and went beyond the fabric. machine wash the fabric and get a new cushion. she always says to mitigate damages and it seems like the defendants attempts to mitigate went complete unrecognized bc she spent all tht money to try and have the problem take care of just to still come out 700 additional dollars bc it wasn’t to the plaintiffs satisfaction. btw THE PLAINTIFFS OWN WITNESS said her home didn’t smell of urine. the only one tht seems bothered is the plaintiff herself.

@@thtsnotmia yea...i dont know about you but i dont care if nobody else can smell the urine on MY couch. It's MY couch. If I'm the only one on earth that can still smell the urine of MY couch, case closed. Next time wear you diaper

I always think they come to court and split the proceeds. But I'm a skeptic.

@@slCHARACOUNSELING why would they split the proceeds when one person is paying the proceeds not the court lol

@@TheTheburger Because this isn't regular court. The judgement is paid by the People's Court not the losing party lol.

@@slCHARACOUNSELING Yeah, they also get a TV appearance fee that the show is required to pay. Still, this case had to have been headed to an actual small claims court before the show picked it up. But, I do agree that if it were possible to "dramatize" a fake situation and get it on the show people would be doing it.

@@googleyt2622 It's my understanding that part of the way they find participants is to troll the courthouse looking for interesting cases. But some of these seem a bit ridiculous, it would be easy enough to spend the $20 filing fee on a fake suit that would look good to the producers.

Someone should have had a DEPEND on him - that is their fault - they failed him!

Accidents happen!

So petty and hostile

Exactly, she is not a decent human being

Of course you should sue if there's no resolution that you can both agree to.

@@CeiCie Karen!!!

@@CeiCie Your one of those huh? Well in tht case if you know your friends mother or if it were your own mother tht is incoherent why would u care take for them and put them on your couch or allow it if shit and piss was a big issue... regardless if they had a brief on or not they could still urinate or even shit on your couch they have a disability you would of been aware of . This case is sad because it was about the plaintiff being materialistic instead of being sentimental.

You're right and I'm sure the sofa isn't new so she wouldn't get much even if she prevailed.

If her mothers dignity was worth more she should have offered to replace the couch she ruined. You don’t piss on your friends couch and expect them to eat the bill.

Exactly. Perfectly stated.

Furniture is expensive. Sometimes people have to save months, or even years, to be able to afford new furniture. People have the right to expect their property to remain in reasonable condition in their own home. It is a really unfortunate accident, but it shouldn't be the plaintiff's responsibility to bear the costs of that accident.

@@ilovecourtshows2210 I agree with you. I wouldn't want to lay on a couch in my home where another human has pi.ssed on! I would be disgusted. They should have offered to take the couch and replace it with a new one

I would want a new couch to. 🛋 They go out and buy a new couch because the old one smelled from the animals peeing on it. Then the NEW couch is drenched in pee from a visitor, who the plaintiff finds out after the incident, has a history of daytime incontinence. The frustration the claimant must have felt!! She deserves a new couch. 👏

@@charmaintrout174 yes!!! You’re the most sane person in the comments section.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I agree I would not want to lay on a couch that was pi.ssed on by another human. Yuck.

Well If I was in the defendant's position, I would've offered to replace the couch.

My ex sister in laws cat was in my Dad's home for around 8 months and they did not clean the litter box. It was full of piss and took about a year before smell was gone

@@CA-cg3uf Oh my! And cat urine is so bad. It never comes out with just soap and water. Someone I know bought an investment home where stray cats had sprayed an area of bushes for some time, and they actually had to dig up the beautiful bushes and burn them, dig out all of the soil in that area and order a load of clean soil to put there. It cost them a lot of money just to rid the area of cat piss smell. And people have no clue their homes smell, and they smell too. My sisters and mother would come to visit me and I would have to discreetly turn on the whole house fan we had, open a window slightly even in the winter and try to keep them in a room that we always laid crocheted afghans on the furniture so I could wash them after they left. You could smell this on their clothes and in their hair. My husband would take my mom’s husband to hang out with him in the garage, then air out the garage after they left. They all smoked too (I never allowed them to smoke in my home but you could smell it on them) so we all know the stink I’m referring to.

@@CA-cg3uf it's so sad they constantly blame the cats. Cats are in fact very clean animals. Of course if the litter box is never cleaned it will stink. That's negligence to the cat and the cat will be forced to pee elsewhere if the litter box isn't cleaned.

@@peekaboots01 You are so right! Very sad!

Wasn't there a movie or show that the cat was removed from the house later to find out if was the grandmother?

Especially when it’s hot and humid😂😂

😂

Because its not her responsibility.The daughter should have had her mother wearing adult diapers or depends. disposable underware.

@@judyelmer2257 you mean underwear

@@judyelmer2257 the mother has never done in those circumstances. The defendant stated that she has incontinence at nights. Therefore, the plaintiff failed to inform her as her aid “ hey Cindy your mom will need to wear diapers in the day as I have noticed that she couldn’t hold it. It doesn’t takes many brain cells for that analysis.

@@judyelmer2257 it’s her couch. Don’t rely on others to protect your stuff when you can take control and prevent damages too.

@@C3yl0 the plaintiff said that was a lie and she had done it before and was told about it happening elsewhere and mentioned how she had the mother go to the bathroom every two hours. She knew it was an issue dude

Totally agree

I agree this is why I don't call no one my friends

Your also full of CRAP.

It doesn’t come out if it’s in the cushion.

@@kismet7645 If it gets too deep in the cushion, the foam can easily be replaced.

I don’t care how well it comes out, there is no way in hell I’m sitting on a couch someone has crapped themselves on.

It depends on how quick you are...

Yeah, it doesn't make much sense to keep chasing an odor down into the foam. Just replace the foam. It's not a trivial task but even a basic DIYer could do it without much trouble at all.

My couch (sectional) doesn't have cushions that are removable - they're attached to the couch. 🤷‍♀️

@@JenniferFuchek The foam is still replaceable, but you would need to take it to an upholstery shop. It would obviously cost more, but it would still be considered "serviceable" to a professional.

She should put a pee pad , they have water proof

@Alexandra Nakelski "Beautiful LIKE NEW sofa for sale, only 4 months old! Barely used, except once to pee on."

😂😂😂

As a CNA some are combative to them. It makes people feel less than normal to wear them. And also she's have to check to make sure she actually wears them. It can be a bit demanding sometimes

The mother peed all over the couch and the upholstery guy said the smell comes back. That's the evidence

Right? And she tells them everyone behaved correctly after digging them for trying to offload a pee couch on an unsuspecting CL buyer. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Poppy pied on my new sofa!!!

I agree. It is totally cringeworthy.

Might be different for a couch, idk lol but carpets ?! Oh yeah, this shit is UN-DEE-FEE-TED! 🤣

The couch is obviously used so the defendant shouldn’t have to pay for her to get a new couch she should give her the value of what the couch would cost

@@Nevaeh1 that's what the judge ordered.. the used value of the couch...

A new couch???? Absurd........hahahahahahahahahahahhahaa!!!!

Not everyone has thousands of dollars to buy a brand new couch

She did

😂 same and when he gives it to George and Frank sleeps on in and he’s outraged when he hears the backstory. Golden

Finally a person in my line of thinking

I agree* thr couch was ruined* I wouldn't care if it was cleaned 10 times* it's not about alzheimers, it's thst a frend should pay for an item they ruined

@@dorothycrowell2867 Her friend didn't ruin the couch. Her mother did because of an uncontrollable health issue. Had her friend not agreed to sell the couch for her, the plaintiff would have lost. Being her mother's caretaker doesn't make doesn't make the daughter legally liable for anything. If her mother does something that the mother can be held liable for, the daughter would only be responsible for paying the bill out of her mother's estate, not out of her own pocket. So, you'd need to sue the mother. The defendant problem was that she essentially agreed to pay for something she's not responsible for in an attempt to save the friendship. That made her liable.

@@tunisiancrochetchannel plenty of ppl sue in court because of an uncontrollable health issue* the issue being uncontrollable does not mean u win in court* if a person passed out at the wheel of their car, due to an uncontrollable health issue, and totaled ur car, u would still win in court even tho it was due to an uncontrollable health issue

@@tunisiancrochetchannel just because the perpetrator doesn't mean any harm doesn't mean the event isn't recompenseable

There's no evidence that her house is disgusting, just someone's opinion isn't proof

Because she couldn't afford to pay for the couch. That's why she offered to help her sell it. She did what a friend should do (even though she wasn't legally liable). She cleaned it herself twice and paid to have a professional clean it. If it really smelled like urine, the plaintiff would have thrown it away.

It’s something that can easily be cleaned.

@@EmmaofEngland Urine can not be easily cleaned on a cloth couch. Urine soaks into the cushion. If an adult peed on my cloth couch, I don't want it. That's disgusting.

💯

I think the other people are off. If you were being sued for something you didn't do, you might think differently. You aren't responsible for what your mother does even if you're their caretaker.

The cleaning solution likely gets to the cushion but the blacklight can only check the top. I think that's what he's referring to.

@@Liz_ArdE Yes, I said that when I was watching as well. Black light can only see the surface. He did he only cleaned the fabric. He said no to the cushion.

@@PHOENIX1699 Oh well, yeah don't really know what he was thinking then. Obviously the liquid gets to the cushion too, maybe not quite as well but it definitely cleans it up.

Totally agree* I bet it still did reek

Ohh yes to protect her moms pride. What is wrong with her. It’s easy. Get her a new couch or money to replace it. Mommas pride is worth that. When my mom got lung cancer and did this in a store on a chair. I told the manager I’ll buy the chair later. Gave them my signature to let them know I was being honest. A day later I went in and bought the chair and asked them to please get rid of it for me. Solution. Everyone happy. Momma kept her pride and never knew it.

Totally agree

Being someone's caretaker doesn't make you liable for their actions. The plaintiff didn't sue the person who did the damage because she knew she would lose that case. You're not going to be held responsible for damage caused by a health issue you can't control. She went after her friend instead. Sad!

Exactly. I dont see how the judge didn't pick up on that. Since her house didn't smell like urine, then the couch didn't smell like urine. The plaintiff is a fuckkking cunnt for humiliating the daughter and mom on tv

Exactly! It's amazing a lot of commentors are saying the daughter SHOULD be responsible for it. I wonder if they would feel the same if they were being sued for something their parent did...especially as a result of a health problem that is the reason the mother was being taken care of by the friend in the first place.

Luckily this is tv not real life huh lol

,kkgdc

So ur saying if I accidentally hit someone’s car when I have a stroke I won’t be at fault?

@@chrisak49 technically no, since you weren't careless or negligent in that scenario. But I don't think you accept the same responsibilities/consequences when you get a license as when you sit on a couch.

@@chrisak49 That is correct. You will not be at fault. That's how the law works. Your insurance will still pay because the law in every state that requires insurance says they have to as far as I know. But you would not be personally, legally liable. If you walk down the street and destroy someone's gate by falling into it having a seizure, no court in this country is going to hold you liable.
