Case dismissed. Michael Freedman, a Bakersfield, CA father and realtor, went before television magistrate Judge Joe Brown claiming he was scammed by ticket broker Pete Kennedy over some tickets to a Wiggles concert. What happened next? Well, let’s just say he didn’t receive the justice he sought. . . .

The segment that Freedman and Kennedy filmed for the syndicated courtroom show aired yesterday, but the outcome never appeared to be in question. Freedman presented his case in such a confusing fashion that at one point he admitting he had bought scalped tickets, a misdemeanor, from a friend in order to enter the concert. He even tried to play on Judge Brown’s sympathies by showing a picture of his two-year-old child, but the gruff judge was having none of it.
