EPISODE · November 4, 2026
An employee trades his day off for another workday, then doesn't show up. His explanation? His phone and electricity were shut off. The prosecution says a broken agreement is a broken agreement, especially when nobody gets a call. The defense argues that losing basic utilities can become a genuine personal crisis. Judge Bill wants to know whether this was an unavoidable emergency or an excuse that doesn't add up.
