Never let anybody see you sweat.

So I was born in New York City,

and I lived there until I was eight years old.

I realized that I was a much better talker than I was a listener.

I don't know what to say,

I just don't like what you're saying.

Sorry, Your Honor.

I ended up going to law school at Georgetown,

and then I was a prosecutor for Janet Reno.

I loved it, because it was so raw.

Were you cheating on her?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

All rise.

Our show will be a mixture of education,

I think you're misreading the law a little bit, and entertainment.

My main goal is justice and the law.

That's been my legacy, and the legacy I hope to continue into the future with the show.

Brad Williams claims his shoulder was injured

because his coworker drank before coming to the gym and didn't spot him properly during a lift.

Terry Remy says he told the plaintiff the weight was too much,

but his warning was ignored.

All right.

Mr. Williams, you're suing Mr. Remy for $3,500 that you say he owes you

because of an injury that you sustained that you say was his fault.

Yes, Your Honor.

How long have you two known each other?

We've known each other for about five years now.

He's a regular workout partner.

We've been going about twice a week.

This was the first time that,

you know, due to his drunken negligence,

I sustained a serious injury.

All right.

So what happened?

So I was at the gym,

texted him to meet up while I was at work.

let's hit the spot right after about 5 o'clock.

And he said that he was still at the office and that he would meet me afterwards.

So no problem.

I went to the gym by myself,

did some cardio, some free weights,

and waited for him to show up.

All right.

What time did he show up?

So I was at the gym at about 7.

Okay.

How many hours do you guys work out when you work out?

It's usually a couple hours.

Just depends on what we're going for.

Wow.

All right.

So go ahead.

So he finally does show up to the gym.

I see him from across the gym.

He's working on a different machine.

Wave him over, ask him to help me with the spot.

Okay, now what's a spot?

So a spot is when somebody assists you in lifting a weight that you might otherwise struggle with.

So you're lying down and you're gonna do this,

and he is standing behind you just in case something goes wrong.

That's the idea behind spotting.

And what happened?

I went for a few reps,

went for three, one, two, three, no problem.

I was struggling on the fourth rep,

so at that point I asked him to help me re-rack it,

which he did, no problem.

I felt like I had one more in me,

so I went for it and I was struggling,

but I couldn't quite get it back up,

So I'm looking for his help.

I'm shouting, hey, man, help me.

I need some help getting this back up.

He was looking around, not paying attention.

But you're screaming right in front of him.

Your screaming didn't cause him to engage?

Apparently not until I screamed his name and he finally realized the bar was about to crush me,

at which point it was too late.

So he tried to lift it back up,

overcompensated with his right arm,

tilted the weight off to the left.

Everything fell.

It crashed.

I completely, like, I just felt this raving pain in my shoulder.

From the weight itself pressing against you or from whatever motion you were doing to get it off you?

It was from the weight itself.

So trying to push it up,

normally you want to get it straight.

He overcompensated in trying to help me and it tilted all the way to the left side.

So at that point I felt an immediate like tear,

just this immense pain in my shoulder and I started,

you know, screaming because it hurt.

After that I yelled at him because I was like,

hey man, this, you know,

you're not supposed to help me out.

Like you weren't paying attention.

We got into his face.

He was more interested in re-racking the weights than caring about my injury.

100

So what did he say to you?

101

You know, he said, you shouldn't have gone for that much weight.

102

I said, you should have had my spot.

103

We're going at it.

104

And then at that point,

105

I smell he's been drinking.

106

He's got some alcohol in his breath.

107

And you didn't smell that before?

108

No, he was across the gym.

109

I didn't see him until he was right next to me.

110

Well, he's standing right over your head.

111

Yeah.

112

So if he talked at all,

113

you would know if he smelled like alcohol, right?

114

Because he's literally, your face is here and his face is here, right?

115

Yeah.

116

Thanks.

117

Were you drinking before the gym?

118

Your Honor, I was.

119

As one does, right?

120

Right?

121

Before...

122

Two to four drinks max.

123

Who drinks two to four drinks and then goes to the gym?

124

Well, everyone has their own kind of pre-workout.

125

That's your pre-workout?

126

On occasion.

127

What were you drinking?

128

Two, maybe four gin and tonics.

129

Oh, that's pretty strong.

130

Is that common that you would have four...

131

I know you must be joking with me because you can't possibly demand to have four drinks before every workout.

132

Not every workout, but there is sort of a running joke that when I say I'm staying late at the office,

133

which is the place where I work,

134

we have a bar on the first floor.

135

That means I'm grabbing a few drinks.

136

And we have two mutual friends who are drinking buddies of

137

ours who I met up with right as I finished with work.

138

And I told him over text that I'd be there at 7,

139

and I extended an invitation to him.

140

To come and drink with you.

141

Yeah.

142

Okay, let me see the text.

143

Hey, it's the baby.

144

No, oh, you're good, honey.

145

No, no, don't you be stepping towards the judge.

146

Kidding me?

147

You know what my bailiff is going to do to you?

148

All six foot five of you, too.

149

Thinking of hitting the gym tonight, you up for it?

150

Yeah, I need to get some free weights in.

151

Cool, I'll be over at seven from work.

152

Meet you there.

153

Going to spend some time at the office with Jake and Sam want to meet up with us.

154

So is he supposed to know what at the office means?

155

Yes, it's a common running joke, inside joke of ours.

156

Is that accurate?

157

I might have heard it once with him and his girlfriend.

158

Okay, so when he says,

159

do you meet, gonna spend some time at the office with Jake and Sam,

160

do you want to meet with us?

161

You knew that meant that he was having drinks with Jake and Sam and did you want to join him, right?

162

Yes.

163

Do Jake and Sam work with him?

164

No, those are mutual friends.

165

Okay, so you know then that staying late at the office didn't mean working this time.

166

You You knew it meant the bar.

167

Yeah, usually, yeah.

168

Because he doesn't work with Jake and Sam.

169

No, no, I'm not.

170

Right, and he invited you.

171

So he's not inviting you to go over a project at work, right?

172

He's inviting you for drinks.

173

Correct, yeah.

174

I thought so.

175

You tell me what happened where the weights ended up dropping.

176

I get to the gym and I start my cardio.

177

And he weighs me down,

178

so I come over, and he's got two plates on the bench press.

179

I warned him, hey, a 25-pound jump is drastic, and this is dangerous.

180

Wait, you warned him of all this with four drinks in you?

181

Coming up on Justice for the People.

182

Do you know that he's doing that?

183

I mean, it was pretty noisy in the gym.

184

I was a little bit distracted.

185

Why were you distracted?

186

There was a lot going on.

187

OK, but don't you have,

188

like, one job, which is to spot him right now?

189

And later.

190

This is a joke more for adults and to not repeat it.

191

So I try to set that boundary.

192

OK, you try to set that boundary?

193

That's like a thousand times worse.

194

It's our little secret.

195

If you'll be in the Los Angeles area and want to bring your case to court, call 1-888-552-6878.

196

You're watching Emmy nominated Justice for the People with Judge Millian.

197

We're back with the case of Brad Williams,

198

who blames Terry Remy for a torn rotator cuff.

199

So that was this night that you said that to him.

200

It's not like on some prior day.

201

It's this day that you say that to him.

202

Yeah, I have receipts to show that it was only two to four drinks at the bar.

203

What's your receipt show?

204

Two or four?

205

Two or twice as much?

206

I'd like to know.

207

So two.

208

Where'd you get the two to four?

209

Because it was happy hour.

210

So not so it is four.

211

Okay, so you tell him that's a big jump,

212

25 pounds, I mean, you know,

213

compared to what you're used to doing.

214

And what does he say?

215

I've got this.

216

Don't worry, bro.

217

I stepped back and let him do his thing.

218

Wait, are you spotting him or aren't you?

219

I don't get it.

220

But yeah, I was standing over him and I asked him,

221

hey, do you need help?

222

Okay, so when you said you stepped back, what do you mean?

223

He asked for space.

224

He said, no, bro, I've got this.

225

So I stepped back and let him do his thing.

226

Wait, wait.

227

He said to you, I need space.

228

Step back.

229

I don't understand what's going on between you two.

230

Did you ask him to step back?

231

No, I said I got the fourth rep.

232

I was struggling.

233

And at that point, he did help me.

234

Okay, so go on.

235

And are you paying attention to what he's doing?

236

Well, I noticed he struggled,

237

but I didn't think he would continue.

238

So I helped him get the bar back up,

239

and I assumed it was going to be fine.

240

And he went for a fifth, and...

241

Wait, how does he go for a fifth?

242

Pushes it up.

243

He just takes it up again, lifts it up again.

244

Okay, so do you know that he's doing that?

245

I mean, it was pretty noisy in the gym.

246

I was a little bit distracted.

247

Why were you distracted?

248

There was a lot going on.

249

Yeah, but not while you're spotting him.

250

Your mind should be on spotting him, right?

251

Yes, Your Honor.

252

Okay, so go on.

253

What happens?

254

Before I knew it, he was struggling to pull it up,

255

and it was already too low,

256

and he hurt himself by pushing his limits further than he should have.

257

Tell me what you did.

258

You're trying to pick it up.

259

Yeah, I tried to diffuse the situation and gather the weights,

260

put everything back, and keep him from humiliating himself in front of other gym-goers.

261

That was your concern?

262

Yes, Your Honor.

263

Was he angry at you?

264

I mean, he was in a lot of pain.

265

He said some not nice things.

266

Did you have to go to the hospital?

267

I was pissed, yeah.

268

I had to leave immediately.

269

I couldn't drive, so I had to take an Uber to urgent care.

270

And what happened?

271

So the doctor informed me that I completely tore my rotator cuff.

272

Did you have to have surgery?

273

I did have to have surgery.

274

They had to replace it and,

275

you know, fix the tear as best as they could.

276

It ended up costing $3,500 out-of-pocket.

277

So that's your out-of-pocket is $3,500?

278

Yeah.

279

Luckily, I had insurance to help with that.

280

Okay.

281

So let me ask you a question.

282

Do you feel like you're responsible?

283

No, I feel like his,

284

his negligence to his own limits is what's at fault here.

285

You imply that he wasn't at the top of his spotting game because he had been drinking.

286

But you knew he had been drinking,

287

and you asked him to spot you.

288

Yes, Your Honor.

289

So, some would say that you have assumed the risk of having a guy who has four gin and tonics spot you.

290

Yes, Your Honor.

291

Yeah.

292

It's like, apparently, it wasn't a problem for you,

293

but you want it to be a problem for me.

294

No, Your Honor, I'm not here to waste your time.

295

Do you feel like the alcohol played a role, or don't you?

296

I do, I do.

297

All right, but it was okay by you that he was spotting you,

298

even though he had four gin and tonics in him.

299

So I feel like you assumed the risk of him having been drinking.

300

I don't know where to draw the line if that's who you pick to spot you.

301

So how much of this is your fault, do you think?

302

I still think it's...

303

Inviting a drunk guy...

304

Well, I don't know if he was drunk or not.

305

You didn't think he was drunk,

306

or you wouldn't have had him spot you.

307

Inviting a guy who's had four gin and tonics to spot you,

308

and then also combining it with adding 25 pounds to your workout.

309

These don't seem like really smart decisions.

310

Had you been drinking before you were working out?

311

No, I hadn't.

312

Oh, so this is on a completely sober.

313

But we have been drinking to the gym before together.

314

Usually we'll hit, you know,

315

the free weights or the machines.

316

And so this is not a big deal to you?

317

No, so this is a normal thing,

318

but we'll normally hit the machines that don't require,

319

you know, spotting over a bar.

320

I was feeling good that day.

321

So why did you do it this day?

322

Why would, of all days,

323

would you pick this day when you know he's been drinking for two hours

324

and it's two for one happy hour and that you decide to pick that day to increase the pounds by 25 pounds.

325

I did see him stumbling but I didn't think he had that much to drink.

326

You saw him stumbling before you asked him to spot you?

327

No, this was after he tried to help me.

328

I saw him stumble when he tried to correct the weight up which inevitably tore the rotator cuff but yeah,

329

I didn't realize he was super drunk.

330

We usually hold our liquor and if anything, I think you know.

331

You're not my first spotting case, believe it or not.

332

I have had many cases where someone wants to blame their injury on the spotter

333

because the spotter didn't do the spotting job to the,

334

as though you're paying the spotter or something and they're,

335

you know, they're negligently performing their duty.

336

They're a spotter.

337

They're doing you a favor.

338

But in your case,

339

the guy who you picked to do your spotting is a

340

guy who you know has been drinking for two hours and it didn't bother you in the slightest.

341

And now you're asking me to have it bother me.

342

But you didn't have a problem with that that day.

343

And that's the day you choose to do this enormous jump.

344

Maybe your injuries resulted from that behavior.

345

I'm sorry that this happened to you,

346

but frankly, I find in favor of the defendant in this case.

347

All rise.

348

Judge Millian has ruled in favor of the defendant.

349

The plaintiff's claim is denied.

350

Shouldn't skip legs, bro.

351

I understand the ruling.

352

I disagree with it, but maybe you got a point.

353

Exit this way, please.

354

Make sure you grab all of your belongings.

355

Coming up...

356

I had to step out for an IT error.

357

He accepted responsibility to watch my son.

358

He made a sexual joke directly to my son,

359

and my son repeated this joke.

360

You're watching him be nominated Justice for the People with Judge Millian.

361

Don Granderson claims his eight-year-old son was expelled from an after-school program

362

because he repeated a dirty joke that the defendant told him.

363

Nate Joseph says he warned the plaintiff's son not to tell the joke to anyone.

364

Okay.

365

Mr. Granderson, you're suing your,

366

well, I guess former friend,

367

Mr. Joseph, for $800 for negligent behavior that caused you to lose that amount in an aftercare program.

368

Tell me what happened.

369

So, what happened was, I left my son with him for about 15 and 20 minutes at work while I had to...

370

Why was your son with you at work?

371

It was a clerical day,

372

half day, and the at-school program was not set up to take students in three hours early.

373

Okay, but were you allowed to bring your child to work?

374

I had permission from my boss, yes.

375

Okay, how old's your child?

376

My son is eight years old, ma'am.

377

Okay, go on.

378

I had to step out for an IT error.

379

He accepted responsibility to watch my son,

380

and he made a sexual joke directly to my son.

381

It wasn't even overheard, it was directly to my son.

382

And my son repeated this joke at work to several students.

383

Okay, what was the joke?

384

Well, Your Honor, school is like a bad hookup.

385

Sometimes you don't like it,

386

you don't enjoy it, but you still get screwed every day.

387

Do you tell that to an eight-year-old?

388

Yes, Your Honor.

389

Do you have children?

390

No, Your Honor, I'm a single man.

391

What were you thinking of saying a joke like that to a kid?

392

Well, Your Honor, I'm a fun uncle type.

393

I don't have any children,

394

and the fact that he brought his child into the workplace,

395

I thought was a little inappropriate in the first.

396

According to him, he had permission from the boss, so it's not your...

397

That's true, Your Honor.

398

That's true.

399

Coming up...

400

So, when I was working,

401

I just was kind of asking him about school and how things were going,

402

and I just kind of seemed that he was a little down,

403

so as I was going,

404

I had heard a joke the other day.

405

for the people of Judge Millian.

406

We're back with the case of Don Granderson,

407

who brought Nate Joseph to court for negligent behavior.

408

Tell me the circumstances surrounding the telling of this joke to an eight-year-old child.

409

Yes, of course, Your Honor.

410

So Don left it and he went to go do his job.

411

And I was sitting at my desk with Stephen,

412

and Stephen was working on some homework and I was working on a few reports.

413

So when I was working,

414

I just was kind of asking him about school

415

and how things were going and I just kind of seemed that he was a little down,

416

so as I was going,

417

I had heard a joke the other day.

418

But as soon as I said the joke,

419

I told him that, you know,

420

this is a joke more for adults and to not repeat it,

421

so I tried to set that boundary.

422

Okay, you tried to set that boundary?

423

I got an idea.

424

How about the boundary that you don't cross when you tell a kid about a hookup who's eight years old?

425

How about that?

426

That's like a thousand times worse.

427

It's our little secret.

428

That's true, Your Honor.

429

All right, tell me about the issues he's had at aftercare before this.

430

They were for disrupting during group activities,

431

and they were for being disrupted during homework time.

432

Okay.

433

So disruptions, talking out of line,

434

those were his main infractions.

435

They throw him out of the afterschool program because he told the joke?

436

They threw him out because it was a zero tolerance policy against sexual jokes.

437

Because that was the second strike.

438

What are you saying?

439

Like, it's all fine and it's all well and good,

440

and if it's not the third strike,

441

if it was a second strike,

442

everything on your part would be okay?

443

No, but, Your Honor, I mean,

444

the joke in nature was not of that...

445

I didn't think it was that severe.

446

I mean, I used the word hookup.

447

I'm not sure it's hookup that was the problem.

448

Understood.

449

Understood, Your Honor.

450

I just wanted to bring to your attention that,

451

you know, this is not the first time that his child is causing issues.

452

Yeah, I know, they're kids, all right?

453

So they're eight years old,

454

but the problem was that what you did is what caused him getting,

455

you know, out of the program.

456

Judge Milyon's verdict, when Justice for the People returns.

457

You're watching Emmy-nominated Justice for the People with Judge Milyon.

458

When you talked to your son,

459

did your son tell you that he had told him,

460

don't repeat this joke, it's for adults?

461

He did inform me that he was told that, Your Honor.

462

So did you ask your son,

463

so why did you say it?

464

I did not.

465

Look, as offended as I am that he is a moron who would actually tell an eight-year-old child a sexual joke,

466

the question becomes, is your son at fault for repeating it?

467

Did he know what he was saying and did he know he shouldn't say it?

468

And then he said it anyway.

469

And

470

that was really what caused him to be thrown out as

471

opposed to you leaving him in the care of someone at work.

472

I understand that.

473

As annoyed as I am at his behavior,

474

does he have to pay?

475

What are you doing while I'm talking?

476

Are you actually chicken necking and agreeing with me?

477

I was.

478

Yes, Your Honor.

479

Because honestly, I've been doing this alone my whole life and I do not need your participation.

480

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
