POWER OF ATTORNEY ---August 2000 TO January 2002--- Prominent Judge Andrew P. Napolitano hosted the most realistic court talk show out there for its first season. He left the show after one year to work on FOX News and Judge Lynn Toler from Ohio took over the show in August of 2001. The show also featured baliff, Joe Catalano, Jr. and some of America's most prominent lawyers. Chris Darden, Gloria Allred, Dominic Barbera, and Jayne Weintraub all appeared on the show. The show was cancelled in November 2001 and ran through January 2002. SEASON ONE 2000-2001 JUDGE ANDREW NAPOLITANO Woman Sues Mom A woman brought her mom to court claiming that she stole money from her. Her mom cried and sobbed throughout the whole trial, wondering why her daughter was so heartless. The judge ruled in the mother's favor, but the drama wasn't over. After the ruling, the woman's sister who was sitting in the audience got mad and started screaming at her sister. The verbal fight carried out into the hall and baliff Joe Catalano had to step between the women to prevent a violent confrontation. Prosecution Gets Pissed Cheryl sued her slumlord landlord, Latanya, claiming that her house was a mess, she had no heat and that Latanya practiced voodoo. To top it off, the Cheryl said that the defendant had spread her dead parents ashes in her backyard, which scared her kids. Latanya denied that she was a slumlord, which made Cheryl's attorney, Shari Karney, very upset. After winning her case, Karney got up in Latanya's face in the hall and called her a liar. Baliff Joe had to seperate everyone before an altercation took place. Handicapped Woman Sues Her Best Friend Two women who met in high school and were friends for about 20 years came to court over car payments. The plaintiff was mad because the defendant would not give her back her money after she spent over $500 on a car that the defendant had sold her and took back. The defendant claimed that the plaintiff made no modifications to the car and was only upset because she was no longer friends with her. The defendant also said that the plaintiff liked her around as a slave because she was confined to a wheelchair. In the end, Judge Napolitano found in favor of the plaintiff, granting her over $1,000 in rewards. She cried as the judge read the verdict and it was obvious that her lost friend has meant a lot to her at one point. SEASON TWO 2001-2002 JUDGE LYNN TOLER 8-27-2001 <SEASON PREMIERE> "Sharon's Ruined Day" Season two started will a new judge, Lynn Toler, who is tougher than Napolitano. The show featured the same graphics and set, but the court reporter was out...In this case, Sharon was upset because her wedding coordinator, Rodrik, messed up her pictures. Some of the stills came out bad and the video featured close-ups of the guests butts! Judge Toler gave Sharon $250 for the bad pics, but did not give her all the money she wanted because everything else Rodrik did for her was up to par. 10-5-2001 Bad Wedding Pictures Sandralee was upset because her wedding pictures came out blurry. She said she looked drunk in them and defense attorney Chris Darden asked her if she really was drunk. Sandralee's husband, Jerry, spoke and things got heated after he called the pictures "crap" and started talking over judge. She yelled at him and told him to be polite in her courtroom. The photographer, Gary, said that most of his pics came out well, but liked to give people all the pics- even the bad ones. Judge Lynn did not give the plaintiffs any money because the majority of the pics looked nice. Jerry got upset when he heard the news and said, "this is bullshit!" and called the defendant a punk. 10-23-2001 A Close-up On The Bride's Breasts Naudia and her husband paid $1,100 for a wedding video and pictures. They claimed that the defendant, Obbrie, focused on her breasts in the videos and flirted with their guests! The video was played and clearly showed the camera zoming in on Naudia's boobs. Judge Toler watched the tape in her chambers and said it was fuzzy. She ruled in favor of Naudia, but only granted her $400 because some of the pictures came out nice. After the judge left, Naudia said she was disgusted that the defendant was ripping people off in the name of the Lord. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ROSIE O'DONNELL ---June 19, 1996 TO May 22, 2002---Rosie won the hearts of women all over America when her show started in 1996.

After Rosie said she thought he was very humane, he replied, "Let's just say that I disagree with you, but I think you're being stupid." .

Many of her favorite guests and friends filled the audience...The last show began with a huge musical number from Broadway.

Vanessa Williams and John Lithgow even joined in during the musical tribute, where Rosie even sang and danced...The show started with what Rosie did best: she gave lots of gifts to the audience.

Her mom accepted it and Rob showed footage of Della posing totally naked! 12-20-2002 Young Adults Who Practice Abstinence Saving virginity until marriage is a positive growing trend in the USA, so Rob spoke with several people who decided to practice abstinence. He spoke with teens Matt and Jason and 23-year-old Natalie who said they they want to abstain from sex until marriage. Motivational speaker Pam Stenzel said their choice was very wise due to all of the STDs out there. Rob also spoke with Gina who was raped several times as a child, so she was never able to chose who her first sexual partner would be. Cameras followed her as she went in for a surgical procedure that tightens the vagina, creating a "second virginity." |
