Marilyn Mosby sought justice from Judge Judy
Marilyn Mosby's first case before a judge came in an appearance on the
Judge Judy show in 2000:
A neighbor trashed her apartment while she was away on summer break, knocking down the door, leaving cigarette burns on the walls, a "disgusting" mess in the bathtub.
Judge Judy's eyebrows practically fly off her forehead as she listens to the facts of the case. She rules for the plaintiff, a young woman with a cardigan tied around her shoulders.
That young woman is none other than Marilyn James, the future Mrs. Mosby, who would one day become the State's Attorney for Baltimore City.
Satisfied with the evidence presented, Judge Judy ruled in favor of Mosby:
"I tried to speak to the DA. I spoke to police officers," she says. "Judge Judy ... she finally gave me justice."
