Judge Judy

A teenager has been charged with smashing a man’s car window, claiming she was defending herself after the vehicle almost ran her over. She says the act was a response to an imminent danger. The case is currently being investigated by police.

The programme is a single‑episode drama that centres on a teenage girl who finds herself facing serious allegations after an incident involving a motor vehicle. It presents a compact, self‑contained story that follows the events surrounding the young woman's encounter with a man’s car and the fallout that follows. In the core of the plot, the teenager is accused of having smashed the window of a man's car. She maintains that her actions were a form of self‑defence, insisting that she only broke the glass because she believed she was about to be run over. The narrative therefore pivots on the clash between the accusation of property damage and her claim of protecting herself from imminent danger. The episode lays out both sides of the dispute without adding extraneous detail. It shows the teenager’s perspective, where the threat of being struck by the vehicle prompts a desperate reaction, and it also outlines the man's position as the victim of a broken window. By focusing tightly on these two viewpoints, the programme highlights the tension that can arise when a seemingly minor act of vandalism is framed as a protective response to a perceived physical threat.
