Emily Panelli is suing her roommate, Jason Sawyer, for $576 after items went missing from their home. Emily says Jason threw a party at their place without her permission, and during the event some of her belongings were stolen by Jason’s guests.

Role: Plaintiff — Veronica St. James (Female, 35, Any Race)
