About this listen

First, the plaintiff says she and the defendant are technically cousins but were raised like brother and sister. In 2010, the defendant was arrested and jailed, and he asked her for money because his wife had left him and his children refused to speak to him. Feeling sorry for him, she gave him money to hire a lawyer. The defendant has repeatedly promised to repay her but never has, so she is suing for the money owed. The defendant says he told the plaintiff he wouldn’t be able to repay her because he was paying child support. He claims she told him not to worry about the money but became angry when he was released from jail and started spending time with his new girlfriend. Then, the plaintiff says she was driving on a one-lane road when the impatient defendant tried to pass her on the right and hit her car. She claims he then offered her $100 to keep her from calling the police, but her friend called anyway. She is suing for the cost of the damages. The defendant says the plaintiff was the one who hit him as he waited to make a right turn in the designated lane. He claims she’s a scammer or just after money. Plus, the plaintiff says she rented an apartment from the defendant, and after a fire broke out in a neighboring unit, her apartment was destroyed. She says she was forced to live in a hotel before finding a new place to move into and expected the defendant to return her security deposit, but he hasn’t. She is suing for the deposit and rent. The defendant says the fire also damaged his property, and the city shut it down until repairs could be made. He claims the plaintiff told him she planned to move back in but then changed her mind.
