  • Your very pretty and really good a dealing with people in court :) you were truthful respectfull and remembered everything from the accident your amaing :D

  • That plaintiff is living on a different planet. Thank goodness the law is around to protect people from such nonsense.

  • the plaintiff's arrest record speaks volumes about his character, And it didn't need to use words!

  • your hott

  • @Jesse1Zionist you're trippin haha

  • What a jerk !!!!!!!!!

  • You're a rarity on Judge Judy: a defendant who presented her case clearly and concisely. You spoke only when spoken to and didn't file a worthless counterclaim. Congratulations on your win!

  • mehhh... i have a feeling you arent the best driver and probably were going through the lights and all of a sudden slammed the breaks when you saw the red when the truck went by and this guy unfortunately was behind you and wasnt expecting you to brake suddenly.. its happened to me and its very frustrating... your right though you are fully entitled to be compensated for this..

  • Lol STILL arguing it. To the death eh, construction forman

  • Dear Defendant, I completely believe you - Good you for you. The plaintiff was nuts.

  • he didn't know what to do? he should try reading the back of his insurance card....

  • Congratulations on your victory! The plaintiff seemed to be constantly making excuses and placing blame; he SERIOUSLY lacked common sense. You, on the other hand, handled yourself very respectfully, honorably, and professionally. Thank you for sharing. P.S. On a side note, I'm sorry about your divorce. I'm divorced too--I understand what it feels like.

  • I don't know about this... the guy looks pretty trustworthy.

  • Wow. the D seemed to have dealt with the P and his insurance company honorably and did not even try to squeeze any money out of them and this dude still wants revenge? seriously? Props to the D for being honorable. Shame on the P for his dishonorable attempt to abuse the legal system in order to take revenge. Quit acting all butt-hurt because a woman owned you in court.

  • I'm glad you won this case, the plaintiff clearly had no intention of sticking around at the scene and just left hoping you wouldn't remember the plate ID.

  • Man, she's actually very pretty. Has a very natural look going.

  • Prettiest JJ Defendant ever. I'm not saying JJ *needs* to be a beauty contest every time... But it sure is nice when you find your self "noticing" the person for more than just their ridiculous reasons for being on the show.(There's a joke to be made about the nature of her accident in relation to something sexual. But I'm not making it. But it's totally there. O_o)

  • theres another version of this video uploaded by another user who doesnt censor the comments like this one does. funny on that one the comments paint a different atmosphere than this uploader is trying to portray... check it out for yourselves

  • @jarrahfromthepile The only comments I filter out are the really vulgar ones, both positive and negative. I don't need or want that on my channel. There are very few I have to delete, but perverts and ranting cursing crazies are not welcome...

  • @chellekatherine k ill send the vulgar ones to your inbox

  • if you really are ms. cooper, the defendant, then i congratulate you for winning this case. i got the impression the plaintiff only sued you because he was angry, not because he had been wronged. i hope this wasn't too stressful for you for very long. you conducted yourself well and seemed like an intelligent person unlike 99% of other people who come before judge judy. i wish you the best =]

  • Yeah, defendant is cute and smart.

  • The defendant is hot ;) Id "Hit" her from behind lol ty for the upload!

  • the girl is hot

  • i love how this Moron says with a straight face " i knew she had my plate and was gonna call the cops "

    well then moron,if you Didnt hit her Car,Why would you be Expecting her to call the cops?

    logic,the ultimate weapon.....guy got exactly what he deserved

    good for the girl she wins like she should have...the capper to me was she didnt even want money,she just wanted her car fixed..she was happy with the buff job

    how much more honest can you get than that?

  • I'd rear end you. If you know what I mean.

  • this is an interesting study of body language; that guy's body language is a classic example of lying and the woman's body language clearly showing plain honesty...I'd have dismissed this case based on the body language myself lol. she seemed to be having fun being there, knowing she was telling the truth with a free ride to Hollywood and a fun day out to make that idiot look even more ridiculous. looks like a great day out to be honest. go you poster, you made that guy look a sold gold plonker

  • This channel probably doesn't belong to the defendant. All the other videos on this channel are also recorded off the TV. I would require silly home videos for me to be satisfied.

  • @donignacio2000 You're entitled to your opinion, even if you're wrong. I make commercials and graphics for a living. The other videos on my channel were made by me professionally, not recorded off a tv.

  • @chellekatherine Hm, OK. I'm not sure why you care...

  • The plaintiff looks like he was trying to hold in the effects of a lunch at Taco Bell.

  • Did anyone notice how cute the defendant was? I would hit her car too, but just to get her number.

  • Congrats, you won the case.

  • You're pretty :)

  • woah, 7:04 is a pretty scarey moment

  • LOL at Beta tape. I was one of those fools who put down $649 for a Panasonic Betamax in 1982. Little did I know that within four years Betamax would be declared the loser in the VCR format war.. I still have a few 30 year old Betamax tapes lying around.

  • @ldchappell1 This was a broadcast beta tape from a tv station. Some stations with older equipment still use them... way old school these days.

  • @ldchappell1 Lots of people who invested in HDDVD also felt the same way when the company standard went with Blu-Ray. =)

  • That lady is rather pretty.

  • If the plaintiff had of played is cards right, He could have had a Hot New Girlfriend who has Hot Friends.. Jeeez!!! What a Dumb Ass!!

  • Michelle Cooper, you're sooooo pretttyyyyyyyy. and your evil smirk amuses me.

  • Congrats Michelle for standing up against this road bastard. Not enough of us have the guts to go through all this.

  • @choppa1707 Haha, road bastard

  • Plaintiff looks like a classic sheister. Musta thought because he cleans up real well he can get away with almost anything...

  • I love Judge Judy because she always knows who's lying, of course the plaintiff isn't a very good liar to begin with. This guy is seriously trying to claim you never hit his car? Even after he said you slammed on your breaks at a yellow, he can't keep his fake story straight.I would maybe expect that type of behavior from a teenager but c'mon this guy is a full grown adult. It's good you atleast got a free trip to Hollywood for your trouble.

  • I'm pretty sure this is a troll thread. The people in the video, and the wife of the accused are most likely not commenting on this.

  • @safetosaydontquoteme I can promise you, I am the defendant in the video and the one who posted it. No trolls here! I can't say for certain if it is really the plaintiff and his ex-wife commenting, but the person claiming to be the plaintiff was spouting very similar garbage in his comment to what the guy suing me said before, most of which isn't seen in the episode. If he isn't the plaintiff, the person commenting probably knows him personally.

  • @safetosaydontquoteme oh yes...its us, for real...unfortunately

  • @safetosaydontquoteme i agree, i think they are fake accounts if you look at the dates of when the accounts were created they were only just created this year, 1 day apart from eachother, no video uploads, no video likes, no video favourites

  • @safetosaydontquoteme (part 2 of comment) the hynster account's last activity was the day created which is Feb 27, which was when the comment was made, triz was created feb 28, last activity mar 1, they probably accidently left that account logged in and realised on mar 1 and logged out. also the comment was done by triz on the day it was created

  • @blackfeather001 It's always possible that fake accounts were created to pose as the plaintiff and his ex, but if so it wasn't by me. I really am the defendant, though.

  • @hynsterharley this is what you get for being the kind of person you are. NOBODY knows you better than me and what you are capable of...but from all these comments, these people are very smart...ONCE again, you have made a complete asshole out of yourself...pathetic and despicable. When are you going to stop your 'madness' and get help? when its too late?

  • Being a Boston driver, I can empathize with the frustration the plaintiff must've felt at the time of the incident. However, it's clear that his claim against you was simply out of spite. I'm glad that JJ ruled in your favor. Also, I can appreciate how professionally you guys presented yourself in court; it's rare to see that on JJ.

  • @fpinksdovef Also, I can appreciate how professionally you guys presented yourself in court; it's rare to see that on JJ.<---- Good point. I also noticed that JJ treated them nicer than the usual litigants.

  • Glad to see that you won the case.

    You did well to keep quiet when that guy was lying, and were smart enough to let Judge Judy chew him up and spit him out without butting in.

    But I have to say... you are gorgeous! No, I'm not hitting on you - I'm very happily married to a great woman. But I that doesn't mean I can't appreciate a lovely smile, beautiful eyes and a very pretty face.

  • I am the ex-wife of that poor excuse of a man. As for my son, once again, his father displayed poor behavior, as always and continues to do so because he is a selfish, narcisstic LOSER. He even tried to blame me for this incident..he's crazy. All of you commenting hit the nail on the head!! Ms.Cooper, good job!! Hope all is well with you.

  • @triz901 Good for you for escaping an abusive relationship! People have no idea how scary he can be from watching this video, he cleans up well. I thought he might get out of his car and hit me, he was so screaming mad. I can't believe he tried to blame the accident on you! Check out his recent moronic comments below (hynsterharley), he's still lying to himself and the world about it. I hope your son takes more after you! Good luck, and I hope all is well with you, too!

  • @chellekatherine I checked out his comments below..ugh, makes me sick. He just doesn't get it, never has and never will. As for the screaming and yelling, thats what he is known for, but of course, he'll lie about that too.

    Out of curiosity, why did you post this? why now, after all this time? I was wondering if you could remove it since its so embarrasing.

  • @triz901 I've always had it posted online, but it used to be hosted on a server a friend owned. That link was no longer valid, so when everyone at my new job wanted to see my Judge Judy episode, posting it on my YouTube channel was easiest. I expected it to be rarely seen like all my demo videos always have been. The popularity and response was unexpected.

  • @chellekatherine Don't worry, he does come across as scary on video (ie. not quite sane and perhaps narcissistic in a disturbing way and seems hypersensitive to imagined insults). Glad I wasn't the one he hit.

  • A free trip to hollywood...how does that happen? XD

  • I think hearing this moron talk made me lose a few brain cells from his stupidity

  • lol What's the point of being sworn in court anymore, most of the people lie anyways and theirs no penalty. People like him ruin America

  • I wonder why I'm a roll for watching JJ videos... lol

  • First of all, you are cute as hell. Secondly, this guy is an idiot.

  • Its sad this woman Michelle is really not telling the people out there the real truth about this case It was proven in criminal court that I never hit her car. My ins company found out she had several rearend ins claims. Ins adjusters concluded her car and mine never came in contact. Wish that I took this case to the local civil court, an this show boat woman would had to pay the $5000 I was sueing her for instead of going on Judge Judy Comedy Court I am glad not all courts are like this!!! M.H

  • @hynsterharley You are completely deluded and a liar! I have never had other accident claims, before or since. An insurance adjuster buffed the paint from your car off of mine, so there was certainly proof of the accident that your insurance saw first hand. You should be thankful we didn't end up in local civil court. Then I would have had to bring out all the evidence I had of your sorted criminal history, including domestic violence and refusing a breathalizer.

  • @hynsterharley I also would have shown proof you were suing me for lost wages when you were unemployed, and a number of other things that would have revealed more about your unsavory character. The arresting officer wanted to be my witness on JJ, but his supervisor wouldn't allow it. You can be certain he would have been a witness in local civil court. He only arrested you because you admitted to hitting me, and that's not my fault. You deserved what you got for the way you behaved.

  • @hynsterharley You couldn't keep your story straight, showing the world what a liar you are. Why would I invent an accident but never attempt to get any money from you or your insurance? You're the one looking for free money, not me. Sad thing is, if you had just been decent and apologetic after the accident, I likely would never have called the police. I really didn't need the hassle. I had hoped you would learn a lesson about your behavior, but clearly that didn't happen.

  • @chellekatherine Please put this guys name on the title to this video, and on the tags so that whenever somebody googles or searches his name they come across this video and can see what a loser he is.

  • @hynsterharley You sound like a big pussy who likes to pick on women...stop being a little bitch and just let it go dude, JJ handed your ass to you and you still don't learn. 

  • @hynsterharleyits happening, gotta love Karma!

  • @hynsterharley - Wow, not one thing in your post is at all convincing. Conniving, yes, but not convincing. How did this ever end up in criminal court? And as a nearly-new attorney, I can tell you that even if you were in crim court for this, it's because *you* were on trial - which speaks volumes to begin with - and further, it was NEVER *proven* you didn't hit her car, there just wasn't sufficient evidence provided of such. And you're just making the case that you sued her baselessly with this.

  • @hynsterharley

    You are stupid, Hynsterharley.

    wwwDOTfloridaarrestsDOTorg

    Want any of us to mention your arrest last July for "Domestic Violence by Strangulation?" Or "Tampering with a State Witness?"

    Or your arrest this December for "Felony Battery?"

    Or your son, Ryan Hynst and his 17 arrests since 2006?

  • @realrocky8591 All of those happened after this show was taped in late 2006. And he already had quite a criminal record back then. Clearly he's someone who never learns!

  • @chellekatherine Wow! I just looked at all those arrests! Florida must be very lenient!

  • @hynsterharley you're an idiot. 

  • Are you still hot?

  • Why do they show clips of new york during the promos if they film in LA?

  • Ah, you're from Pinellas. Me, too. I guess the accident was on 19 then, eh?

  • @LilithProductions Yes, indeed it was. I was southbound on 19, waiting to turn left onto Park Blvd :)

  • @chellekatherine Been there. 19 is a scary road, I barely ever go on it now. I got in my accident turning from Curlew on to 19.

  • Do you want to go out on a date?

  • glad you won, hun. what a jerk off.

    it's nice to see people on jj who you can actually have their shit together. :D

  • I still don't understand why he was suing you.

  • Facial Translations:

    3:53 - Bullshit! LOL

    6:08 Yeah Bitch! I did!

    Question.. is this guy serious? I mean, he legitimately though he had a case? And when you said he pissed you off for a year, does that mean he was calling you to get money? The guy is just lying through his teeth but he keeps contradicting himself. Hes a foreman at a construction and is scared of coming out the car because a girl half his size was cursing LOOOOOL Whats he do at work, besides walking around in pink spandex?

  • What an idiot. What was this guy thinking when he sued I don't know.

  • yeah! Good on ya for uploading this!  shame that idiot!

  • That guy looks social awkward, and like he didnt have his story straight. Like it was made up... what a retard.

  • I hate the stereotype fulfilling male drivers who make us nice guys look bad, good for you for how you handled the situation.

  • What year was this in?

  • @WWETrishMickiefan love the username

  • Wow the plaintiff was a complete tool. I am glad you were able to defend yourself. I would have found it very difficult to remain calm. Then again, I have Social Anxiety Disorder so I probably would have passed out in front of all the cameras, ha! Anyways, good job. I am glad you are okay. :-)

  • good stuff, thanks for posting

  • Construction. All these assholes are in construction. And there are only two ways you hit a car in front of you; if you're follwing too close or if you're going too fast. Period.

  • hahaha that guy is an idiot

  • I love that you, the innocent defendant, put this on YouTube. You must have been so annoyed by this guy. At least now you can enjoy further embarrassing this guy and watch people post comments about it all. Btw, if I would have hit you, I would have asked you out for dinner, not sued ;)

  • Were you allergic to your necklace? I noticed your skin around the pendant started to turn red :-(

  • @BloodudeXD Actually, the redness had nothing to do with my necklace, which is real gold because I do have some metal allergies. My chest gets flushed like that when I'm angry, and the P had been pissing me off for over a year by then! I was so mad, I'm lucky I wasn't even redder :-)

  • SHE'S CUTE

  • I've been driving on the roads of the USA for approx. 2 years in the past(my job assignment from UK to US ) and I can confidently say that there are countless crazy drivers in the USA just like the idiot defendant. Something is terribly wrong in that country and with it's people..They eat too much junk processed food and TV dinners which ultimately interferes with their brain development making their thought process go backwards.

  • I would bump your car just to get your number ;)

  • The P is the absolute epitomy of douchebag.

  • motion graphics? which company do you work for? awesome work, you look well presented

  • i drive like an old lady in a hurricane..... and it's good to know that a careful wussy driver trumps a dumb construction worker.

  • Good for you. :)

  • He was rather attractive, such a shame, total waste, Idiot!!

  • hey michelle

  • usually on JJ both parties look like idiots... but congrats to you, you came off completely dignified and professional.

    ...which is probably why they needed to edit in all those shots of you nodding.

  • @takatakatang :D:DD:D:D:D:D: nice observation i havent thought about that but makes sense :D

  • Really cool, nice to watch a JJ episode posted by one of the litigants. I would also like to add, it was nice watching such a well spoken and level headed participant on here. BTW, you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to "lead" him on, lol, j/k ;-)

  • Shes cute :D

  • She's pretty cute! for a wussy driver! xD

    guy is a total joke.

  • Grats on the victory, that dude deserves a fist to the face.

  • This is why I take the bus, ya' heard?

  • Stop intimidating construction foremans with your erratic behavior, Michelle. That's just mean.

  • my god, love is abused these days, I can bet that almost everyone in this generation has at least 2 divorces. No offense, you just seem so young to be all ready be going thru a divorce...but on another note, people these days sue each other for everything, honestly he could of just stayed there and gone thru insurance and bing bang everything's done, no humiliation on live television.

  • hes handsom and shes pretty this could have been a cute thing

  • Why would you go to "Judge" judy anyways? She's such a hypocrite!!!

  • She should not be driving without her gentleman. Oh she is not married anymore...

  • @thedoors781 Neither is he. What's your point?

  • @thedoors781

    Why shouldnt she be driving without her "gentleman"?

  • idiot ,keep enough distance so people can make emergency stop.

    Then you wont hit her either.

    and call police if you disagree ,dont hit and run.

    jeez

    that guy is a complete dickhead.

  • The judge prob would've ripped him up, if his son wasn't there

  • I don't know what his problem was, I wouldn't mind rear ending you

  • I'm honestly wondering if this guy might have histrionic personality disorder... The only thing I'm not seeing from him is the excessive flirtatiousness, but to be honest, I completely expected him to say something about @chellekatherine coming on to him or something... Did anyone else get that vibe - that he thought she was after him because she wanted him? Or am I totally off with this? lol

  • More power to ya! that guy really had no case, he should've just given up from the beginning

  • This case reminds me of my first auto accident. I was rear-ended by a lady at a red light. She was acting like it was my fault. There was no damage to my truck but her license plate was crumpled like a "C" lol. I let it go but I kinda regret doing that now because her behavior just annoyed me. oh well.

  • hi Michelle , would you marry me ?

  • @chellekatherine you seem so nice... dude is an asshole and stupid.... Musta been fun to see Judge Judy though :D

  • Good case. Mr. Wonderful thought it was and open and shut case.

  • you are pretty..but i am annoyed how you continuously shake your head in agreement with JJ as if she needed any confirmation. ;) don't worry tho i know you were just happy to see that she saw through his nonsense.

  • @Rorix9 It's funny you should mention that... it annoys me too. It's all a trick of editing. They made it look like I was shaking my head all the time, putting in reaction shots that were from a different point in time. As an editor myself, I can see just how sneaky they were with it. My friends and family have always teased me about it. I'm surprised you are the first to comment on it!

  • @chellekatherine I considered that...it makes sense.

  • @chellekatherine I always thought they edit these like no other. I too am an editor, and the cuts always looked odd. Great job presenting your case, and keeping on JJ's good side. You are pretty much the picture perfect litigant XD

  • @chellekatherine hi i was wondering what was judge like in person?

  • @leeland0123 Sadly, the only time I saw JJ herself was in the "courtroom" during our case. So she was just like like you see her on the show. The producers were running behind schedule that day and hustled us in and out of there as fast as possible.

  • @chellekatherine Interesting to hear from an editor who appeared 1st person on this show. As an editor myself (well I'm a photographer, but I edited for years), I hate it when they cut & paste at their 'best' convenience, just to make it a bit more over-dramatic. It truly makes no sense.

    Good thing you won; he had no case to begin with :)

    p.s. sorry to hear things didn't work out with your ex-husband. Although for only almost 12 minutes, I couldn't see anything wrong in you :)

  • @chellekatherine I'm no conspiracy theorist but man does it stick in my craw how much media manipulates the audience. Not just with editing but the content that is cherry picked and how bias they are. The news is horrible. Any time I have had firsthand account of a story, then seen the media coverage I can see how far from the truth it is.

  • @chellekatherine You are exceptionally cute.

  • @chellekatherine Oh that's sneaky, I thought it would be something like that. =/

  • BALONEY

  • This guy was not only a liar, but an idiotic liar, which is the best kind for the rest of us. :)

  • she doesnt take that smile off her face for a second

  • I'm glad you won your case. That guy was a jerk.

    I have to say you're one of the best looking and most normal defendants I've ever seen on the show. lol

  • This is the 3rd video in a row I seen that a man at judge judy is working in construction!

  • The one thing that I disagree with JJ is that missing the light IS a good reason to get annoyed; it bugs the hell out of me!

  • @Snake18921 that was JJ's exact point--people DO find that annoying. We all do, especially when we're in a hurry. It's human.

    Which doesn't mean acting like a total jerk because you're annoyed is the RIGHT THING TO DO! I'M SPEAKING!

  • @Snake18921 Missing the light is why accidents happen, trucks buses coachs and work vehicles of all sizes stop at yellow or go slower than the limit, if they know the area is known for accidents.As they know 2 -5 minutes waiting is nothing compared to getting T boned and being paralysed for the rest of your life.Just saying get some patience an he did have his son in the car, that should have made him more cautious.

  • So he assumed you were going to speed through a turn lane?

    What a schmuck.

    I had some asshat almost total my car because I stopped at a yellow light on a highway because its a dangerous intersection, thankfully the moron went on the shoulder and bypassed me instead of fucking me up for the rest of my life.

    Im only 20 but i drive better then 98% of the people on the road its pretty sad who can get a license these days and everyone's in such a hurry.

  • what was that guy doing?

    1) she's a woman

    2) she's a woman driver.

    ONE MUST BE CAREFUL OF A WOMAN, MUCH MORE A WOMAN DRIVER.

  • even if his story was true which I doubt, he is still at fault because HE rear ended her and he should have been prepared to stop as the light was orange. Idiot, probably angry after leaving his ex wifes place, which he probably blames her for too!

  • even before opening his mouth his demeanor screams arrogant pr*ck and of course he would only ever confront or abuse those smaller and/or weaker.

  • I drove cab. One night I had a passanger and was rear ended. The woman behind me took her foot off the brake after she came to a complete stop. No damage. No injury to any party. I told the woman she had to wait till the police, my supervisor and the taxicab police showed up. She was anger... miss my flight etc. and I just said if you leave it is a felony. The police came inspected damage declared it a "no accident" and everyone went on their merry way. No suit, no problem. Properly done.

  • "He hit me from behind." LOL

  • Will someone please explain why the Plaintiff sued? Like Judge Judy said more than once: " I don't know what you want from me (or Her)"

  • wow the defendant is really pretty. Nice hair too

  • Why she so pretty tho.

  • Is his son Ryan Michael Hynst? He was also arrested in Pinellas County, Fl on 7/15/11 for drug possession/sale. Mugshots(dot)com.

  • @Wildtofu712 Looks like the son to me. He also has felony domestic battery on his record, plus robbery and a bunch of other stuff.

  • Go to Florida(dot)arrests(dot)org and type in Michael Hynst. Arrested on 12/26/11 in Pinellas County, Florida for felony domestic battery. What a loser.

  • @Wildtofu712 Not only that, here are the two charges.

    DOMESTIC BATTERY BY STRANGULATION

    TAMPERING WITH STATE WITNESS

    Looks like he abused his partner once, and then choked her to intimidate her into not testifying against him.

  • @Wildtofu712 Looks like the father has been arrested for domestic battery at least three times. What a loser. There's no doubt he has an anger management problem.

  • Its been a long time since I saw 2 ppl (Plaintiff and Defendant) on Judge Judy acting civil, not over talking JJ and not making her mad....... ....GREAT ATTITUDE!!!!!!!.......and D is so cute.....

  • I'd rear end you to....to get your number ;)

  • I think he just couldn't be bothered to talking to a angry person. I'm like that some days. Because all his excuses seem to be that of someone who doesn't really care.

  • She's adorable, and that guy was so transparent. *

  • Good job. Great attitude. 

  • very pretty. definitely my type :)

  • I sued him in court and won. They was an ass, just like this guy...Hit a parked car over and over...How can someone weasel their way out of that?
