A Michigan woman trying to sue a man for $10,000 over a bad first date got set straight by a district court judge after screaming over him in a crazy Zoom court appearance, according to a video of the spectacle.
QaShontae Hosomla Short-Brundidge in the Zoom video can be seen alongside Judge Herman Marable of the 67th District Court as well as a man named Richard Jordan.
The judge starts the proceedings by explaining to Short-Brundidge that she cannot sue for “infliction of emotional distress” in a criminal court and she would need to file this case in circuit court.
When the judge asked Jordan if he planned to represent himself in the case, the man told the judge, “I thought this was just gonna be thrown out” before adding “I think this is a waste of your time.”
The judge tells Jordan that he should file the appropriate motion to have the case dismissed, then an argument erupts between the woman and Judge Marable over the definition of the word “perjury.”
Jordan can be seen rubbing his eyes in disbelief as the judge and the Short- Brundidge continued to argue for several minutes.
When the judge asks her if she intends to drop the criminal case now that she knows to file in civil court, Short-Brundidge insisted she would not, sparking another argument.
The judge ultimately orders that the case be transferred to the 7th Circuit Court and that the plaintiff pay the filing fees.
