William Romeo supposedly lent money to Angela Saitta so that the latter could pay off her debts.
When only a part of the loan was repaid, Romeo sued alleging Angela still owed him $1,016.
Angela contended she had fully satisfied her loan -- by way of money orders totaling $900, together with three cash payments made by a friend.
After the Dutchess County City Court limited his recovery to $116.03, Romeo appealed to the Appellate Term, Second Department, which deferred to the lower court's credibility determinations.
At least this Romeo didn't die in the end!
