A Judge Judy rerun that aired Wednesday that initially seemed like an amusing-enough spat between a landlord and her former tenant actually had a dark undercurrent as it turns out that the plaintiff in the case was convicted of manslaughter and served a 15-year prison term for shooting his girlfriend in the face. The shot killed her immediately. In 2018, soon after his release, Craig Veale updated his profile picture to depict himself holding a gun with the caption “Hot as a pistol.”
rerun that aired Wednesday that initially seemed like an amusing-enough spat between a landlord and her former tenant actually had a dark undercurrent as it turns out that the plaintiff in the case was convicted of manslaughter and served a 15-year prison term for shooting his girlfriend in the face. The shot killed her immediately. In 2018, soon after his release, Craig VealeFacebookVeale’s criminal history was referred to vaguely as Judith Sheindlin heard his case.
It wasn’t until the litigants’ exit interviews that the audience had any indication that this was not merely dumb, but flagrantly disrespectful. The defendant, Jennifer Zachreson, whom Veale was suing for evicting him from the apartment he’d rented from her , said, “This is a guy who just got out of prison for murder for 15 years, shooting his girlfriend in the face.” He claimed he had informed her of his criminal history; she said that he told her his crime was domestic violence.
Sometime early in the morning on December 28,2002, Defendant picked up a loaded shotgun during an argument with his girlfriend. He pointed the gun at her, as she stood only a few feet away, and pulled the trigger. The shotgun blast blew off the bottom-of her face and killed her. The State claimed the shooting was intentional and charged Defendant with murder. The jury found that it was reckless and convicted him of manslaughter.
Defendant testified that at some point in their argument Loretta saw the shotgun and told him to put it away. “As far [Defendant] can remember,” the only reason he picked up the gun was to remove the live round from the chamber . He admitted that he intentionally pointed the gun towards the bathroom mirror, but claimed that he needed the light from the bathroom and thought Loretta was standing towards the other end of the mirror.
In court, Veale “conceded that the evidence was legally sufficient to support a reckless finding and asked the trial court to instruct the jury on the lesser charge of manslaughter.” Thus when he attempted to appeal the decision, the state argued: “Having thus admitted that a reasonable jury could find him guilty of manslaughter, he cannot now claim the opposite.” He was sentenced to 1 to 15 years in prison in August 2003.
