The People’s Court Calls Her Bluff on a Threat
When a woman demands payment for a washer and dryer she sold months earlier, the buyer claims she’s being threatened. But Judge Marilyn Milian has a few things to say about what actually constitutes a threat, and her colorful explanation leaves little room for confusion.
On The People’s Court, Rakia sues Jade for $250 after selling her a used washer and dryer with an agreement that payment would come from Jade’s tax refund. When the money never arrives, text messages become central to the dispute, particularly Jade’s claim that the appliances were either defective or intended as a gift.
Watch The People’s Court as Judge Milian sorts through the conflicting stories, explains the difference between a legal demand and an actual threat, and delivers her ruling.
