Disc Golfers on Judge Mathis

Judge Mathis...heh. If they had a legit claim they'd be in a municipal or county civil court. Every judgement on these shows go before and non-retired, actively service judge in an active court circulation and are pre-determined before they hit these reality show courts. It's TV drama. Anyone on there is there for money and their 5 seconds of fame.

So ... Judge Judy had a sex change reassignment?

There's no such thing as 5 seconds of fame and you are wrong about the judge shows. Trust me I've been on one before and even get recognized because of it.

DVR a show, and watch the fine quick flash print before and after the shows...it's literally spelled out for someone such as yourself.

It's a pre-arbitration hearing. If you go on these shows, you lose criminal preceedings and any chance at an appeal...the ONLY reason someone who has a legit claim would go on these shows is for their moment in the spotlight...and no one with any common sense would give two ****s if you were on a judge show, it just shows you probably didn't have a legitimate case or you're too stupid to realize you have a legitimate case and didn't take it before a municipal court seat.

It's a civil soap opera...nothing more.

You likely went on the show to be on TV, and to get airfare and a free trip to wherever the studio court room was. You didn't go for justice or because you cared that much about what happened.
 
Here's a rundown of how the system works, typically. Your case may actually be different as I don't know the ins and outs of your particular case.

Producers and "scouts" for these shows hang around civil courts (family courts until they were barred from doing so thanks to Judge Dumbass Judy for ruling on a criminal family court hearing on her show in 1999). They'll scout out cases that are civil, and that have already been to the hearing process. Open Records will indicate who the benefit was given to and the final outcome. Before the ending hearing, the producers will scalp these cases, and convince both parties to belay their final hearing in the court room, pay their court costs at the county/municipal level and have them flown to the "court" room (which is in no way a court room), pay their airfare, hotel, food etc during their taping. Pretty awesome deal (that's why most people on these shows are ghetto white trash, or just ghetto, they didn't have money for an actual attorney or representation, and none is provided for civil litigation).

After these people are brought to the studio, they sign a document, basically signing away any right to an appeal, or appeal process. It's a one and done deal. They take pre-hearing information and rule based on that, both parties know before going in who the victor will be, and must sign notarized documentation given acceptance and awareness of the hearing. This is a legal, and binding document, about the only one that'll ever pass between parties hands while on the show. Most judges aren't even actual practicing, licensed judges any longer, they're in retired status and can't actively give ruling on cases outside of a civil litigation, basically an opinion that holds no water when it comes to the actual criminal or civil court rulings.

I've escorted plenty of scouts and producers out of the Dallas County courthouse, they're scum and low of the low depriving people of their actual civil rights when it comes to getting what they're owed. These shows pollute what others actually think the justice system should be like, which it's nothing like that. Many of these shows have civil suits and criminal suits filed against them for always siding with the defendant on the case, since at that point the court merely pays an appearance fee to those involved and they're done. If ruled for the plaintiff, most times the TV SHOW will pay the fees associated with the ruling and those on the show don't typically have to pay their costs. These shows are a joke, and make a mockery of the people that go on the show, and of the civil system in itself.

Then tell me why I won the case, made money, and became somewhat of a celebrity if it's not real and I didn't care. The lawyer I consulted recommended it. He told me that not only could I make the goon pay, but it could open many doors for me.
 
And just to add, I don't know you, or your situation. For me to blanket statement you being stupid or an idiot was wrong and I apologize for that.

In my experience, which is considered pretty extensive in the criminal law format by peers, these TV shows are fake, and offer nothing more than entertaining daytime TV spot fillers.
 
Can you post the video or episode you were on?

This^

I'm suspicious that the same guy trolling the "disc ownership" thread with some malarkey that he throws all discs he finds, number or not, out into a lake for fun, might be the kind of guy that would troll a judge mathus thread by saying that he was not only on the show, but it was because his LAWYER recommended it.

not to derail the thread but the civil and criminal system don't need these shows to make a mockery of the system itself. It does a fine job on its own.

I wholeheartedly agree. It's one of the biggest frustrations working in the arena. It's repetitive head beating against a wall.

Judge show are bad. Glad I missed this episode.

You're a troll. :|
 
Hook nuts is a troll. He's always claiming stupid crap to get a rise out of people.

He also said he was the dude who was razzing McBeth during 2015 worlds final nine
 
Up to about 2008 Pat was the highest rated player in Indiana (1003 ish). He dropped out of the 2008 Worlds for personal reasons and disappeared from the disc golf scene for almost 3 years.

http://www.pdga.com/player/10100/history

He is back and his game is approaching it's previous heights. I was a couple groups behind Pat when the assault occurred and feel the assault was criminal and uncalled for. Even if he had insulted this guys wife (which he didn't) you don't cold cock a guy that is on one knee and even if he was standing up is probably 10 inches shorter than the aggressor.

Phew, I better watch my foot faults if I play in Indiana! :\
