accused former roommate senaida angel of breaking their lease and owing for a utility bill and a loan. the judges will now deliberate. >> judge bakman: three distinct issues. the first is the early termination fee. they're both on the lease. they both signed. they both split it, $1,460. >> judge patricia: i see $1,398 in the lease. i don't know where she's coming up with that other number. >> judge bakman: all right. so $1,400. >> judge bakman: so it's $700. all right. we've got a $1,000 utility bill. defendant agrees she owes half, $500. we have a loan that was made, $335. plaintiff admits it was segregated between the defendant and the defendant's boyfriend. end of case. >> judge tanya: i mean, look, i gotta tell you, once the case started, and it was clear that the defendant had absolutely no evidence for her entire defense -- which was that it was owed, but she was constructively evicted because of the plaintiff's erratic behavior, she lost so much credibility with me by that point that it
2:59 am
and she admits to breaking it. i have no problem with giving the plaintiff $700, $500. and what was the balance? >> judge bakman: yeah. $1,200, so it's $1,535 in total. done? >> judge tanya: yes. >> sonia: remain seated. come to order. this courtroom is again in session. >> judge tanya: look, the bottom line is that this was a very simple case. ms. angel, you came to court with a very specific defense for which you had absolutely no evidence. so at that point, it just becomes easy. we do the math. we figure out who was living there, how longy gonna get stuck holding the bag. you're not entitled to the total value of your claim because she doesn't have to hold the bag for everybody. but she is gonna pay you her portion. and that's $1,535. that's the judgment of this court in your favor. thanks, ladies. >> sonia: this courtroom is now in recess. >> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment.

3:01 am
>> judge patricia: we've reached our decision. >> announcer: in a court of law, it's called a hot bench. raymond kohn sr. is suing his son, 21-year-old raymond jr., for smashing out the windows of his classic cars. >> judge patricia: all right. thank you, everyone. please be seated. ladies, please sit. >> sonia: your honor, this is case number 75, kohn vs. kohn. >> judge patricia: thank you, sonia. >> all right, mr. kohn. you are a stunt driver. and you own some classic stunt cars that you drive during some exhibitions and during some shows. the defendant is your son. >> correct. >> judge patricia: and you believe that in 2014, the defendant smashed the windows of three of your classic cars. and you say that he so much has admitted to it and has paid you $300 in restitution. but he still owes you $3,000. mr. kohn jr., you say that your father is a crazy stunt driver who has developed many enemies.
3:02 am
any one of them or even him that broke the windows. but what you know is that it wasn't you. and you don't know anything. >> that's correct. >> judge patricia: all right. so mr. kohn senior, let's see, you're raymond? >> correct. >> judge patricia: so you're raymond, which i'm going to probably call you if that's okay with you. and mr. kohn jr., you are raymond as well? >> yes. >> judge patricia: well, you're going by junior today, okay? [ laughter ] why would you wait so long? you said that this happened in april 2014. this is 2016. >> that's correct. >>ud >> in january, my son had gotten his -- >> judge patricia: january, 2016? >> january 2016. >> judge patricia: yes. >> i was out with his mother having a bite to eat. >> judge patricia: is that you, ma'am? >> yes, ma'am. >> and we get a phone call from our son, raymond. he was in some kind of text-messaging battle with his uncle, my wife's brother. and they were going back and forth. >> judge patricia: is that true? because that's hearsay from him. is that true? were you in a text battle with your uncle? >> we, uh, were talking, yes.
3:03 am
your uncle by text messaging? >> yes. >> judge patricia: okay. now go back to you. >> he was reading the text messages that he was saying to his uncle and then reading the text messages his uncle was saying to him. >> judge patricia: now, was he reading this through speakerphone in the car? >> through speakerphone to where my wife and i both heard. >> do you want to step up here, please, and just tell us your name? >> my name is tina kohn. >> judge patricia: tina. so, tina and you, raymond, are in the car. he's allegedly on speakerphone reading you these text messages. >> correct. >> judge patricia: so this is in january. go on. and he accidentally read one that said, from his uncle, "well, i'm just going to tell your mom and your dad about who broke all of the glass." >> judge patricia: now, his uncle says this? >> correct. >> judge patricia: does he respond to that in any way? >> yes. he responded by, i guess i could act it out for you. he was right -- >> judge patricia: i don't know. you're not going to come over and hit me, are you? >> no. >> judge patricia: all right. then act it out. >> so, he was, like, "oh, yeah.
3:04 am
to tell you guys. it was me. i'm the one who broke out all the windows." >> judge patricia: all right. i guess you're not going to say that? so let's hear you. >> that's incorrect. >> judge patricia: well, let me hear. >> i didn't say that all. >> judge patricia: other than -- wait one second. other than that, how did you discover that your windows on the car were broken? you just came out, and the car windows were broken? >> yeah. there's a -- a -- >> judge patricia: no witnesses to it, correct? >> no witnesses. there's a lengthy story, you know, leading up to it. >> judge patricia: did you file a police report? >> yes, ma'am. i have the police report right here. >> judge patricia: can we see that police report? and on the day -- so you find the windows broken. based on your papers, on april 17, and on that date you discovered the car windows are broken at what time? >> it was approximately around 9:30, 10:00. >> judge patricia: in the morning or at night? >> at night. >> judge patricia: had you heard any noises? >> no. we were actually at dinner. >> so when you came home from dinner, you noticed that the cars... where were these cars parked? >> two of them were parked under carports. and the other was parked in a barn. and we noticed that the barn doors were shut. and, uh, when we left,
3:05 am
no idea who did what? >> i had my suspicions. >> judge patricia: but you didn't see anybody do anything? >> no. >> judge patricia: were you living with your dad on april 17? >> no. >> judge patricia: and you both were living together, correct? >> yes, ma'am. >> judge patricia: you were not living at home. >> no, not at all. >> judge patricia: why were you not living at home at the time? >> well, ever since i've been kicked out since i was young, till 18, i was constantly being controlled and harassed every single day. so i wanted to grow -- >> judge patricia: when you say harassed, what were they harassing you over? >> i mean, i have -- >> judge patricia: i don't know what you mean. that's why i'm asking. how his harassment has -- >> judge patricia: well, when were those messages given to you? >> the -- these are recent, a couple weeks ago. >> when did you say you were thrown out? >> i've been kicked out multiple times but bef-- it was, uh, beginning of my senior year. >> judge patricia: let's see those messages that you have. so you guys have this heated battle. he thinks it's you. he calls the police. i have a police report here, which i'm going to look at. and you're not arrested or anything, are you? >> no, i'm -- no, i've never even had anybody's come to the residence or anything.
3:06 am
see anything, they can't arrest anybody, right? >> correct. you know, i couldn't prove anything. they couldn't. >> judge patricia: so but for the fact that you have this statement from him over the phone where he's hemming and hawing with regard to his admission, you don't really know that he did this. is that correct? >> like i said, i -- i had my suspicions. but i could not prove it. >> judge patricia: okay. so that's what you have. but you pay him some money, don't you? >> yeah, um -- >> judge patricia: how much do you pay him? >> i gave him $100 out of my, when i was working, uh -- >> judge patricia: why did you give him $100? >> constantly being told every day that, "i know you're the one that d >> judge patricia: you say you're being harassed so much you give him $100? baloney. did you give him any more money after that? >> if you read the messages, you'll understand. >> judge patricia: did you give him any more money after that? >> no, she, shannon, my fianc?e -- >> judge patricia: step up. did you give them money? >> uh, i gave them $200. >> judge patricia: why did you give them $200 with the whole thing having -- >> because they were harassing him for it, so -- >> judge patricia: for payment. but -- but they weren't harassing you. >> no. >> judge patricia: you see, if you're the person you're describing to me, which is somebody who's got pretty much, the strength and free will to get up
3:07 am
to suddenly say, "i cannot tolerate my father. i'm going to give him $300," it doesn't sit right with me. it seems almost like an admission that you're paying for something that you did. on the other hand, you're saying that he was, like, "oh, i gotta tell you i broke the windows." uh, uh, what are you doing here suing your kid? let me just look at this here. >> that's what the world has came to, ma'am. >> judge patricia: "i'll see you in court." >> it's terrible. >> judge patricia: "you're ruining your life. shannon is paying your bills." this is you to him. "you're such a controlling individual. i can't stand you anymore." you know what's interesting? at the ef here, you write, "ever since i left his house, my father's tried to force me to become the man he wants me to be instead of the man that i am." if you broke the windows, based on what you're saying, maybe you're actually the man your father is. >> that -- that's incorrect because, uh, what kinda... >> judge patricia: judge acker. >> ...father actually tells you to get a spark plug and to smash it with a hammer and actually smashes somebody's window? >> judge tanya: what are you telling us right now? >> well, he has broken someone's windows out right in front of me. >> judge tanya: stop. stop. if you think that you're
3:08 am
to drag your father through the mud on an entirely unrelated issue, it's not gonna happen. >> well this isn't an unrelated issue because i didn't do it. >> judge tanya: how is it not... so you're suggesting that he broke it himself? >> yeah, 'cause he told me, "if you break a spark plug at the end --" >> judge tanya: ah. >> that you can throw it and break the windows. >> judge tanya: ah. >> and he's done it right in front of me -- >> judge tanya: so maybe for purposes -- >> because my mom and someone else was having an affair. >> judge tanya: simmer down, simmer down. the defense you are laying out now is that "i didn't do it. my dad did it. he's got a bad temper." so that's different from what i'm saying. too, at his own brother's house. >> judge tanya: when this happened, in 2014, what possessed you to think that your son, your own son, would break your car windows? >> we were actually redoing our living room in 2013, just weeks before christmas. there was nowhere to sit, nowhere to watch tv, nowhere to eat, you know, nowhere to do anything. we have a 10-year-old daughter and a 13-year-old son.
3:09 am
to where he wanted her over at our house constantly. she lives almost in -- in the next state. >> judge tanya: he wanted her to be close. >> they went to the joint vocational school. that's how they met. >> judge tanya: okay. >> we agreed on some times, under our rules, that she could stay at our house. she had -- >> judge tanya: how old were you at the time? >> 17, 18. >> judge tanya: i'm just -- i'm sorry i'm stopping there because i heard your son go on at length about how you were controlling and harassing, yet he's 17 and hi staying at the house. whoo! so anyway, his girlfriend is is now there. >> we agreed that she could spend the night one night. and then, of course, one night led to two nights. and then, the next thing you know, it was friday night, saturday night, sunday night. >> judge tanya: i'm guessing at some point you said, "she can't stay here anymore. it's too tight." is that where this is going? >> well, sorta. but it's more detailed than that. with our living room under construction, i had told him that shannon could not come over this weekend because of the construction. he said, "okay."
3:10 am
to pick him up from school, she was with him. i didn't say anything to him. i waited for his mom to get home. when she got home, told her that he deliberately disobeyed me once again. we called him up. "what is she doing here?" "ah, huh, uh, she's staying the weekend." i said, "we told you, not this weekend," because of the way our house was. after that i said, "now you gotta wait two weeks to see her." not to mention that they see each other every day in school. he got really unruly after we told him this. were broken after this? >> yes. after this, yes. >> judge tanya: and so i'm going to ask you, junior. you've got both of your parents taking the stand. you have your father laying out a very detailed analysis of your motives in engaging in this act. you then pay your father $300. how on earth -- i mean, how can i be a thinking human being and not conclude that you're somehow responsible for this? i'm hard-pressed to believe that your father would break his window himself
3:11 am
who does that? >> him. >> judge tanya: i don't buy it. >> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment. >> they're here for money. they just got paid six grand for a show by sitting on their ass selling t-shirts because that's -- >> judge tanya: that is their job.
3:12 am
3:13 am
if your sneezes are a force to be reckoned with... you may be muddling through allergies. allergy relief. and zyrtec? is different than claritin?. because it starts working faster on the first day you take it. try zyrtec?. muddle no more?. >> announcer: three judges. three opinions.
3:14 am
"hot bench." raymond kohn sr. says his son, raymond jr., vandalized his classic cars. >> judge tanya: do you have anything else? >> i -- i didn't do it at all. i'll tell you that straight up. >> judge tanya: why would your mom be here lying? why would your mom be for your -- >> they're here for money. they just got paid six grand for a show by sitting on their ass selling t-shirts. that's all they do. because of that -- >> judge tanya: that is their job. and now that's enough! that's how they make their money. that is not your business. you know what, sir put your hand down. you're mad at them for something. i don't know what it is. there's no reason for two parents to sue their son unless they're crazy or you engaged in this. and you're sitting there at the table with nothing. do you have a witness that says that dad engaged in this act of vandalism toward the car? >> i wasn't there. i was too busy, uh, going to school. i -- i didn't have a car. >> judge tanya: so your defense, which suggested he did this himself, that's just speculation. you're just making that up. >> well, it was either him or someone else because i wasn't -- i wasn't there at all. i didn't have a car. i didn't have enough money to pay for insurance. i didn't have a job at all.
3:15 am
you know what? i really wish you the best. judge bakman? >> judge larry: let's get back to the case. what's this case about? broken windows? >> yes, sir. >> what kind of cars? >> 1970 cadillac coupe deville convertible. >> judge larry: what else? >> a 1976 plymouth fury police car and a 1976 ford f-150. >> judge larry: photos? photos of the cars, photos of the damage? >> i'm sending you up before pictures and the after pictures. >> judge larry: okay. this is the before picture? >> correct. >> judge larry: this is a before picture? >> correct. >> judge larry: and this is a before picture? >> correct. >> judge larry: nice cars. let's take a look at the damage. broken windows on the caddy, yes? >> yes, five of them. >> judge larry: this wasn't some act of vandalism where somebody's popping one of the windows, right? >> correct. >> judge larry: this is somebody who's angry and decides to nail all the windows
3:16 am
>> correct. >> judge larry: you know, it's almost like with a homicide victim. when somebody stabs somebody 20 times over, you draw the inference that that person had a vendetta. that that person was angry. and i look at this, two windows broken out on this side. this looks nice from the inside of the truck. >> yes, sir, 17 windows total. >> judge larry: seventeen windows in three cars. and so the question is "who done it?" there was li in this case, correct? >> correct. >> judge larry: when you were initially interviewed by police, you've told us, you had your suspicions, correct? >> correct. >> judge larry: yet when you were interviewed on april 18, you stated your suspicions were such that your ex-employee destroyed some items earlier in the day. >> mm-hmm. >> judge larry: and you believed he was the one responsible for the damage to the vehicles, correct? >> correct. >> judge larry:
3:17 am
and don't smirk at me -- because i haven't gotten to you yet. >> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment. >> judge larry: he heard you say, "the next time, i am going to bring chain cutters and finish the job." did you say that or not? hey, searching for a great used car? yeah! you got it.
3:18 am
just say, show me cars with no accidents reported pretty cool i like it that's the power of carfax? find the cars you want, avoid the ones you don't plus you get a free carfax? report with every listing
3:19 am
>> announcer: three judges. three opinions. one verdict. "hot bench."
3:20 am
of vandalizing his cars. >> judge larry: let's get to what i found really interesting in the police report. april 25th, the police interview ray and emory. who is that? >> ex-friend. he's not my friend anymore. >> judge larry: yeah. i can imagine he's not your friend anymore because you threatened him. he states to the police that he overheard an admission on your part, which is why this is admissible. it's a party admission. "the next time, i am going to bring chain cutters and finish the job." >> i -- >> judge larry: and then he claims >> i never said that. >> judge larry: to the police that you threatened him. and you used some very lovely language in there, with respect to the threat. did you say that or not? >> no, i did not. but i will say, after school one day, 'cause, um, at the time, i did have a car, which was a -- a plymouth satellite. emory, with his ford probe, was runnin' me off the road, almost killed me, in fact,
3:21 am
>> judge larry: let's stay just one more level down. the cars are where when they're damaged? they're in a barn? >> correct, on my property. >> judge larry: and then there's a hidden light switch in the barn? >> yes. >> judge larry: somebody had to know where the hidden light switch was to activate the lights that you saw when you got back to the premises, correct? >> correct. >> judge larry: who's got knowledge of where that light switch is? is he one of those people? >> of course, because he lived there, my son, and people in my crew, you know, loving people >> judge larry: next, circumstantial evidence, mr. kohn. i'm gonna explain it to you. i'm gonna give you a little primer. and then i'm done. circumstantial evidence is evidence that indirectly proves a fact. in this case, i've got somebody with motive, you. i've got somebody who knows the premises and the placement of the light switch. all of that adds up to an inference that you're the guy that did it. no further questions. >> judge patricia: we're going to retire to deliberate. >> sonia: this courtroom
3:22 am
>> judge larry: i'm just gonna say, in terms of liability, as i said, it's a circumstantial evidence case. for me, the anger is the motive. the intimate knowledge of the setting where these cars were damaged relates back to the son. you add two admissions. that's it for me. if we've got the proof, i believe he handed up an estimate of the damage amount, the $3,000. i'm on board in finding that by a preponderance he carried his burden. >> judge patricia: aren't you troubled by the fact that he tells the police immediately after the incident that an incident occurred earlier in the day at the shop where an ex-employee destroyed some items? raymond had had that incident recorded on video. and he believes scott is responsible for the damage to the vehicles. >> judge tanya: i'll tell you why i'm not troubled by it. that's consistent with the plaintiff's story. he came to court in his complaint saying, "i did not want to believe my son did this." only when he got that admission
3:23 am
>> judge larry: see, that's -- >> judge tanya: and two admissions. >> son admits it -- >> judge larry: right. >> judge tanya: and then starts paying. >> judge patricia: i think the father was really concerned. >> judge tanya: i think that he did not want to believe this was his kid. he was looking for other explanations. >> judge patricia: and the son had no evidence of anything. >> judge tanya: i'm ready. >> judge patricia: i'm ready. >> judge larry: i'm ready. >> judge patricia: so we're going to give him the $3,000. >> judge larry: yes. >> announcer: "hot bench" continues in a moment. closed caption is provided by... apparently, people think i'm too perky. so now i'm not being perky, telling you that drivers that switch to progressive save an average of $548! whoo! i mean, whoo. boost the power of your shower. zest fruitboost, wow! the first shower gel that's two times concentrated for a fruity boost of vitamin-c rich lather. fresh. fruity. zestfully clean. approaching medicare eligibility? don't put off checking out your medicare options until 65. now is a good time to get the ball rolling.

jumped out at us immediately. one of them is that you're saying here that your father wants you to be the man that he wants you to be, not the man you are. he wanted you to be a better man. seventeen windows were broken, rage, anger. and it's personal, not a stranger. second, they were in a location where you had to have some personal knowledge. and third, you, who don't strike me as a pushover, by any means, give your father $300 when you and you have all these things to say about him. and there's no way that he broke 17 of his own windows just to, two years later, point the finger at you. that's quite a plan. sir, i don't give you that much credit. sorry. so the judgment is in your favor for $3,000. it's just sad that you have to be in here as a family. so go your own way if that's what you want to do. but maybe you'll turn around one day and see that he was right with some things, not everything. judgment in your favor, 3,000.

most people know that chimpanzees and humans are close cousins sharing more than 98% of the same dna. but humans have another primate cousin just as close. they're called bonobos and they couldn't be more different than chimps. bonobos live in female-dominated groups and they're endangered. found only in the democratic anderson cooper paid a visit to central africa to get their story for "60 minutes." ? >> reporter: the world's only sanctuary for bonobos sits on the outskirts of congo's capital, kinshasa.
3:41 am
bonobo paradise. for those endangered apes, it's exactly what it is. ? this refuge was created by conservationist claudine andre. she's belgian-born but has lived in congo most of her life. if you ask her why she cares so much about bonobos, she'll tell you just look into their eyes. >> the way they look in your eyes, deeply, it's just like they look in your soul. >> in your soul. >> yeah. >> and it's rare that most primates don't maintain eye contact like that. >> yeah. because don't try to do this >> right. it's a threatening gesture if you do it with a gorilla. but bonobos look right at you. >> oh, yeah. >> reporter: bonobos may have a brain that's a third of the size of ours, but they're remarkably intelligent. those high-pitched screeches are a sophisticated form of communication, and their gestures are unmistakable. like chimpanzees bonobos use

3:43 am
the same can't be said of chimpanzees or of humans for that matter. >> bonobos on the other hand, they don't really have that darker side. so that's how they can help us, is how could it be that a species that has a brain a third of the size of ours can do something that with all our technological prowess we can't accomplish, which is to not kill each other. >> reporter: the answer might be found in bonobos' favorite pastime. other primate on the planet. their sexual contact is so frequent brian hare refers to it as the bonobo handshake. >> it's not that they want to procreate and have a kid. it's not even that they found each other attractive. it's just -- >> no. it's a negotiation. >> reporter: and it's hardly surprising that many of these negotiations take place over food. chimpanzees will fight each other over food. >> that's right. >> bonobos won't necessarily fight --
3:44 am
for competition, testosterone increases. bonobos, they get stressed out. and if they feel like they're not going to be able to share they get really anxious and that drives them to want to be reassured and they then happen to have a bonobo handshake to feel better. >> males will do that with females, males will do it with males, females with females. doesn't matter. even the ages. >> any combination. any age. >> reporter: it's an irony that this peace-loving primate is being hunted to extinction. though it's illegal to kill or capture bonobos in congo, that hasn't slowed their rapid decline. forest animals are sold in bustling bush meat markets for food. the largest in congo's capital kinshasa, you can buy monkeys, porcupines, even alligators, dead or alive. bonobos aren't openly sold here anymore. but you can still buy them in many parts of congo. their orphan babies often endup in the only place that can care
