Nolan Kurtz VS. Roommate Jordan Roommate
Charge: Reluctance to bring a Microwave to our dorm room
My roommate for the following year in college, Jordan, refuse to bring a Microwave to our shared room by claiming that he is broke.As I bring a refrigerator and a rug it is only fair that he would help with a microwave.An excuse of "I don't have the money" doesn't sound convincing as he is using an iPhone and has a Xbox 360 and a TV. http://…microwave/

 This is totally insensitive demand by Nolan. the man (Jordan) said he is broke, back off. After they in together, they will get to know each other and I'm sure Jordan will find a way to contribute to their room.

 The rug, video game system, and TV have questionable utility, but the refrigerator is useful to both parties. The fridge probably has a used value of around $50. You can pick up a used microwave for $20 all day on craigslist. While Nolan may come off a little stiff, I don't think he's being unreasonable, assuming he isn't much of a TV watcher or video game player.

 You sound like an awful nit-picky roommate. If I were in his situation with not enough "extra" money to pick up a microwave, I would consider punching you in the mouth so you could only feed on mush. How about a raw knuckle sandwich FTW?

 The question presented is not whether the defendant was in fact "reluctant," rather it is whether the manifested reluctance was objectively justifiable. It is unclear whether the defendant was in fact broke. However, his reluctance can be justified on at least one separate and independent ground; thus, rendering the factual issue of his actual financial wellbeing moot. Lying at the core of the dispute is the presumptuous notion of "equality in contributions." The rug, mini fridge and 27" TV have unascertainable values. Nonetheless, given that they are for use in a college setting, it would be unreasonable to infer that they are of significant value. The Xbox 360 does, however, have a definite and nontrivial monetary value. As neither party expressed any disinterest in using the aforementioned items, the values of all 4 should be considered in rendering the judgment. The defendant's contribution objectively outweighs that of the plaintiff; thus, should be acquitted of the charge.

 The prosecution has presented NO evidence that Jordan agreed to bring a microwave. Since the burden of proof is on the prosecution, and since the prosecution has presented no evidence, there is no basis for this trial. Ergo, the only judgment that can be rendered in NOT GUILTY.
