Is suing his stepfather in-law Orlando Moore and his son 16-year-old Kendall Barkley for the cost of fixing Chevy Blazer Mr Cham I assume it’s this young man who is your wife’s half brother yes and you’re his father yes ma’am according to your complaint this young man whose name is Kendall Kendall came
For a visit yes visiting his sister and you opened your house and said sure he can stay with us it was during a holiday period Well the um February recess and while he was there without your permission he took your car and he crashed it yes you want his father to be
Responsible for the damage yes and his father said you know that he’s nothing but trouble and that you should have watched him more carefully W that’s his defense why don’t you sit down for a moment sir I’ll get to you in a minute Kendall are your hands in your pockets
No perfect how old are you 16 do I make you nervous no it’s unfortunate I will try to change that why would your father say that you’re trouble I am what do you mean you are sometimes I I make trouble you make trouble at home no where on the streets
But you’ve never been in trouble with the police no you’re lucky now why did you decide to go to visit your sister cuz I wanted to spend time with my nephew I don’t understand you when you’re mumbling make believe you’re outside talking to your friends I wanted
To spend time with my nieces and nephews that’s a good thing how did you get there Chris picked me up your sister’s husband yeah yes yes so he’s a pretty nice guy yeah so he’s a pretty nice guy yeah so he’s a pretty nice guy no yes say yes
Yes do you have a driver’s license no what does that mean to you when you don’t have a driver’s license can’t drive tell me about when you took his car well they were sleeping when I took the car they were sleeping so it was late at night night yes where were you
Going I wanted to ride up to Wegman I don’t understand a word you said I wanted to write to Wegman wanted you ride to wigman’s and where did you get the keys from they on the entertainment system so you stole the keys yes and you stole the car yes and what happened uh
Drove up the Wagman’s and I came back I don’t hear you I drove up the Wagman I I was going to parked the car cuz my brother he parks in a certain spot I don’t hear you I drove the car to Wagman and I came back and then I I went to get
In the driveway so I was parked in the wrong spot so I had to move it I went and moved the car and then I took off and then I hit the next door neighbor’s house you hit the next door neighbor’s house yes what did you do I ain’t do
Nothing and the cops can’t so then they asked me a few questions and I answered them now you can stand up did your son go to school yes ma’am does he have a job no ma’am why not uh he is currently looking for employment what one was was the last time he had
Employment uh he is 16 years old there’s only very few jobs in Rochester for a 16-year-old to do so let me ask you this question sir who do you think is responsible for him to be honest when Christopher came to my address and pick kendle up I figure he assumed full
Responsibility yes he wasn’t supposed to see that anything happened to him but let’s say that your son while he was visiting with his sister and her husband committed a burglar would that have been his fault yes ma’am no 16-year-old boy who’s almost as big as his father knows the difference
Between right and wrong and one way or another sir you have to teach him a lesson and what lesson is he learning from this whole process here he wasn’t arrested no so there were no repercussions from the justice system right as far as so what lesson do you
Think this whole process is teaching your son uh I think he’s pretty much learned his lesson that right what has he had to do as a result of this he’s gotten most of his privileges taken away what privileges did he have taken away uh no computer no uh no
Computer what else he he has his PlayStation and iPod taken away from taking away someone’s iPod sir is not exactly punishment for destroying this man’s car see kendle has a ad DH situation 40% of the children according to statistics in this country they don’t steal cars they don’t steal cars they do
They do yeah so do a lot of people without ADHD steel cars you know don’t give him an excuse Mr Moore you give him an excuse for doing the wrong thing that he’s ADHD and I guarantee you you’re going to be looking for trouble forever forever ADHD has nothing to do with
Stealing cars he wanted to go to a store he took the car to go to a store he knew he had no right to take the car to go to a store that has nothing to do with ADHD that has to do with doing the wrong thing that that’s the frame of mind
That’s why he takes the medication so it keeps his mind focused off of things like this I have 11 grandchildren sir I reared and helped rear five children I know all about this ADHD stuff and I know all about parents who will make excuses for their children’s bad
Behavior and ascribe it to a learning disability so if that’s it was believe me he was focusing on getting the keys and going to the store believe me you’re going to pay him and he’s going to pay you and then there is a reaction to his action and I guarantee
You sir that’s as good as any medication he takes so so there’s any medication he takes so there’s no responsibility on his side at all it would be different if he threw him the keys and said take the car and go to the store wasn’t there he
Just told me what happened he waited until they went to sleep and then he went to to the entertainment center where the keys were kept and he took the keys he told me that not him you make excuses for him sir you’re going to find yourself before a judge much more
Frequently than the one time you’re going to appear before me and you give him the excuse of having ADHD for excuse for bad behavior you are committing a terrible it’s an excuse one thing had nothing to do with the other with regard to his taking that truck that day and if
You give him an excuse you are parentally doing him a terrible disservice I however am doing him a service because unless you want to be out $4500 yourself what you’re going to do is you’re going to have him get a job and every penny that he earns he’s going
To give you until the $4,500 is paid off judge him for the plaintiff in the amount of$ 4,500 verer ridden our claims her estrange son-in-law Brian Hill owes for Al loone and babysitting fees Brian says says Verna and her daughter are dead beats Miss row Mr Hill is your soon to
Be ex-son-in-law and it is your claim that he owes you for a small loan that you made to him to pay his mortgage and for some babysitting services for your three grand children yes ma’am Mr Hill says that the mortgage payment was your idea there was never any discussion of
Repayment for it and he’s going to tell me the story about the babysitting Services I’m going to start with you Mr Hill how long have you been married uh since ‘ 95 and how old are your children uh 10 7 and 12 how long have you been
Separated from your wife since 05 and how long have the children been living with you you have custody since 05 since 05 yes ma’am did your wife leave the house yes did you have somebody else at the time no I don’t know I don’t think
So but she left yes and she left you with the children well when she originally left she took the kids with her the kids wasn’t happy living with this R now here the kids told Tina this many times Tina told me over the phone that I could have custody we went to
Court for the custody that’s not true just a second was custody adjudicated in court yes when we went all I have to hear custody was adjudicated in court yes did you and your wife make an agreement with regard to the custody of the children yes so it was resolved
Between the two of you that you would have custody and she would have visitation yes ma’am do you get child support for the children it’s court ordered but I haven’t received the first check yet and how long has it been since you got child support from their mother
Uh um I believe it was April or May of last year ‘ 06 now miss ridden hour when do you claim you made this loan to Mr Hill with regard to the mortgage payment 7th of 2006 tell me about it Mr Hill was at my house stating that him and the
Children wanted to move back to his home because he was living with his mom but he didn’t have the money for the mortgage payment I stated to Mr Hill that I would lend it to him he come back and said that he didn’t not want any
Handouts and that he would pay me back and I stated that he can make payments and I haven’t received a penny from Mr Hill honor that’s wrong okay now tell me about the babysitting the babysitting uh Mr Hill asked me if I would watch the three children for him why he worked
That he would pay me and I said okay $75 a week and he okay that and I said but he had to be home by 7 that evening well Mr Hill called me that Friday cuz only it was only a week that I watched on that Friday he called me and he stated
That he would be a few minutes late that his sister was in a car accident and I said okay this was at 5:00 p.m. I called him at 10:07 in the evening to ask him if he would be back at by 8: to pick up the children and he said yes ver I’m
Leaving now and hung up on me and and so in the meantime I was on the computer with the two granddaughters and I received an IM am through the computer which was Mr Hill’s mom saying all these harsh things to me and then then um Mr
Hill came and blew the horn at 8:00 and picked up the children and then when I got on my computer I seen that I had two emails that Saturday the day after where Mr Hill was apologizing for his mom and I also have an email here stating that
His mom wanted me to accept her apology as well so what does that have to do with anything because Mr Hill does that have to do with anything Mr Hill should have called me and told me that he was going to be late and not call his mom
And have her his mom to IM me through the computer it was between me and him not me him and his mom he told me that he called you at 5:00 he said his sister was in an automobile accident he was going to be late didn’t you just tell me
He said a little late so what you’re watching you’re with your three grandchildren do you work no ma’am so what else do you have to do if he said he had a family emergency what’s the big deal because I watched him in it before and he’s never picked them up until 9 10
11:00 at night we’re not talking about that we’re talking about one particular day you watch the children for one week according to you you watch where do you think you are you watch the children for one week you said he supposed to pick them up at
7 I assume the other days he picked them up at 7:00 called you the last day said my sister was in an automobile accident I’m going to be a little late and he comes to pick the children up one hour late and I’m asking you you’re the
Grandmother what’s the big deal the big deal is I watched him four months prior to that and I never charged anything and you shouldn’t charge anything and he was coming and picking the children up at 9 10 11:00 at night when it’s a school night you shouldn’t have volunteered to
Watch him again if it wasn’t satisfactory Arrangement when you if it wasn’t a satisfactory Arrangement 4 months before then you shouldn’t have volunteered to watch them again would seem to me that if you are the mother of a deadbeat parent which you are because your daughter is a deadbeat she has not
Sent support for her children since April of ‘ 06 that if your contribution could be helping to watch your grandchildren so that he can work and support them you shouldn’t be here today asking for $75 for babysitting Services well what how can my daughter be a dead
Be she’s paying child support for the grandchildren she’s also giv medical uh insurance he hasn’t received he hasn’t received child support from her since April of 06 because he keeps dropping it it’s like this if he do if she doesn’t do what Mr Hill wants her to do then
He’ll go file it if she does what he wants her to do he’ll drop it listen to me Madam a parent has an obligation to support children that made it is irrelevant to me whether it’s a mother or a father if the father has custody of the children and the mother has no
Children then what she’s got to do is work for because the children need to be supported I understand that your honor and so if I was the mother of a parent who did not pay child support and my contribution could be helping to babysit with my children I wouldn’t complain
Because the father was an hour late because of an emergency now you want to tell me the story about the mortgage uh July of last year year I moved in with my mother because I was having problems paying bills I moved down in there had the kids enrolled in school everything
Was going well Tina called me maybe 4 months after I moved down there wanting to know if she could take over our house that we had purchased together that’s fine if she was going to do it that was fine I gave Tina $1,000 cash and the
$1,000 was meant to be for the mortgage payment the electric payment and the ground rent where we live she paid the ground rent and the electric she never paid the mortgage took off with the money then she calls me a week later and tells me she can’t afford the house now
The mortgage payment’s never been paid true don’t speak the mortgage payment was never made Verna started calling me asking me to move back I have phone records of this how many times she’s called I’d like to see them they’re all highlighted in yellow ver called you at your mother’s house at
On my cell phone your cell phone go ahead she called me wanting me to come back to move up there so she could be closer to the kids cuz at this time I was like 150 Mi away from her and her daughter I told her and I gave my wife
Tina all this money I didn’t have money to move back back she agreed to pay the payment for me if I moved back so she could be closer to the kids and part a Christmas present because it was November when we moved back your honor that’s not true you didn’t want to see
Your grandchildren your honor I do want to see my grandchildren I haven’t seen my grandchildren in three months for whatever reason I don’t know I’ve seen you told me that you were watching them in May well it’s been two months one or two months I do know and and you told me
Your baby sat for him in May one week she did June 6th I only watched him in for one week well that’s not two months two months haven’t passed Madam well I’m asking you didn’t you want to see your grandchildren of of course I do want to
See my grandchildren no didn’t you when he was living 150 mil away yes I do wanted to so that if Mr Hill says that when you spoke you said that you would take care of the mortgage payment you telling me that you didn’t have a discussion with him we did have a
Discussion about the mortgage payment he told me he did not want any handouts that he would pay it back and I said well just pay make make it in payments and he said whatever was left he would just pay it when he got his taxes back that’s wrong your honor that’s wrong I
Don’t think I believe you miss ridden hour I don’t think I believe you at all and what I find ludicrous is that you seem to have a reasonable relationship with your daughter because your daughter is here with you and I assume that because she’s here with you you have a
Reasonable relationship with her but you have three grandchildren and why in the world would you want to antagonize over what amounts to no money certainly you’re not out any out of pocket money with regard to the $75 for babysitting Services worst thing that you did was you took care of your grandchildren for
A couple of days big deal so the worst thing that you’re R is a few hundred for a mortgage payment that allowed the grandchildren to be closer to you and your daughter you would antagonize the custodial parent of your three grandchildren antagonize him your honor they even call Child Protective Services
On me no certainly since I’ve moved back in November I most certainly did not since I moved back in November them two are the only ones that have been in my house when I was moving back I was carrying a dresser down my hallway I trip and my
Back hit the wall which put a hole in the wall like about that big whoever called sh Protective Services told them that I was abusive that I didn’t have food in the house that the kids were going to school dirty there uh the hole in the wall stuff you know just made up
A bunch of stuff about me well they they uh Child Protective Services have a lady and my kids school all day every day not true your honor this lady sees my kids all day every day the lady pulled the kids out out of class asking them a
Bunch of questions if I ever hit them if we have food and the the call went through the child protective services on April 16th April 12th is when we went to court for child support got that was the following Monday gotcha uh Thursday when we went
To court on the 12th that next day was Friday that’s the day she agreed she didn’t want to watch kids no more gotcha your case is dismissed Mr ritten now and I would suggest you try very hard to make up with Mr Hill so that you can see your grandchildren that’s all goodbye
Michael bone says his car was vandalized during a party thrown by the defendant’s daughter Tim Howard Senior says he was also victimized that night Mr bone your car was vandalized after a party that was held at the defendant’s house yes ma’am it was I assume your 18th birthday
Party yes you’re the brother yes and you believe that Mr Howard who permitted this party to be had in his house is responsible for the damage to your car yes ma’am Mr Howard while sympathetic that your car was damaged says that the people who damaged your car were
Uninvited guests Uninvited thugs at the party and you should pursue them for damaging your car stand up please next to your dad Mr Howard you were not home at the time of this party is that right yes where were you I was at work and
This was on a Friday evening yes it was your honor what date December 15th 06 and when is your birthday December 20th so the party wasn’t held on your birthday no cuz they’re a school so can do it on a school night all right Mr bone were you an invited guest at this
Party yes you were there with your girlfriend yes ma’am that’s this young lady yes what time did you arrive at the party uh about 7:30 ma’am had you ever been to the Howard house before yes ma’am does your girlfriend live close by this is the next door neighbor man
Stand how long have you and Haley been friends I’d say since about fifth grade so you were invited to the party yes ma’am how long did you stay at the party Mr bone uh approximately half an hour why did you leave after half an hour uh there wasn’t too many people that we
Know and there was a lot of alcohol there so we decided we were going to go back to Jessica’s house how many people were there uh probably 40 to 50 people is that right yes I’d say it’s about right Mr Howard how many people did your
Daughter tell you were going to be at this party uh maybe about 15 20 people that I was aware of now when you got there and there were 40 to 50 people at the party you said there was alcohol tell me about where the alcohol was set
Up uh really wasn’t just set up it was kind of a bring your own thing it was pretty much spread out through the entire house how many people did you know at the party um about six to seven people that I actually had known and how
Many people did you know I knew about 10 to 15 and how old were the people that you knew um the people that I knew were 17 or 18 and they were all in high school the others I didn’t know of the 17 and 18 year olds there were any of
Them drinking of the ones that I knew a couple of them were and the ones I was hanging out with were not and what about you Mr bone of the people that you knew those were the same people that same people and they were drinking the ones
That we had left with went back to her house with us it was four four others that had went back with us and they left shortly after that so it’s 7:30 and you stayed for half hour until about 8:00 when you left some people went with you
Yes were the people that went with you people who were or were not drinking were not were not is the reason that you left early because of the number of people that were there I left early because I didn’t feel comfort able being that I didn’t know half the people that
Were there and the amount of alcohol that was there I just did not feel comfortable did you speak to Haley about the number of people that were there I did not speak to her about the number of people what did you speak to her about about the alcohol what did you say to
Her and what did she say to you I told her that having the alcohol there being that she’s underage was not a good idea since my father who who lives right next door is a cop and then what did hay say to you she didn’t really say much just
That it would be okay nothing bad would happen you remember that conversation yeah I do you want to explain that to me well I didn’t think it’ be a big problem cuz we knew well I knew some of the people there was other people that just
Came that came with their friends that I didn’t know and everything was cool for the time we were there so I didn’t think there would be a problem all right Mr Bones so tell me what happened with your car well after we had left the party we went to
Jessica’s house and we received a call about I don’t know 11: saying that there had been a fight at Haley’s house and that they needed help breaking it up so me and her father Ron went outside and we seen people fighting around my car and various places in the yard and after
He had broken it up I walked around my car and seen that the mirror was laying on the ground next to the car and there was a bunch of mud on the window and on the door and on the fender and on the trunk of my car what time was this uh
Probably 11:00 okay how did that happen there was a fight there’s a total of two fights and that last one that happened um a bunch of people had left they were the ones that we told to leave and they came back those people that you told to
Leave had they been there earlier in the evening when they were there not all of them but some of them yes and so you told them to leave yes and they were not invited back and there was just a a few people that were left like around 10 and
Then they were all there and all these guys came back and they had brought more people with them and then we seen the trucks and the vehicles coming down the road and people ran to the door to see what was going on and we saw they were
Back people went outside to see them and I guess the fight broke out I ran upstairs to call uh Jessica’s dad cop cuz I knew something bad was going to happen and I didn’t want nothing like no one to get hurt like seriously did you
Know the names of any of the people that were out there and involved in this fight some of them I did others I did not did you tell the police their names I didn’t really get a chance to talk to the police very much actually I told
Them what had happened and then that was pretty much his car was damaged right I wasn’t even downstairs like cuz it happened in the basement and I was upstairs I stayed in my room cuz I’m not dumb enough to go back downstairs was a bunch of guys fighting anything else you
Want to tell me no anything you want to tell me yes uh the night of the party I was chaperoning it uh when I showed up a few people had already brought out what time did you show up around 8:00 p.m. there was already a few kids there um few
Adults there just a sec sorry your first name is Tim how old how old are you Tim 31 Tim first of all you should have been there at 7:30 night 8:00 that’s number one I wasn’t actually told to be there I don’t care what you were told if your
Father was relying on you as the adult to chaperone the Party by the time these people got there at 7:30 there were already 40 to 50 people there so if you arrived at 8:00 you got there too late go ahead he had mentioned the party
About a week ago that it was going to happen and so we didn’t get on the same page but I showed up at home at 8:00 that evening and it was going on oh just a second so that you were not asked to chaperone the party I was asked to
Chaperon but we didn’t somehow he didn’t mention to me it was going to be that day ah perfect Mr Howard this is not looking good for you sir I want you to understand that are you getting the fact that this is not looking good for you
Yes your honor I do I’m going to hear the rest of the scenario from your son but this is not looking good for your team right go ahead okay so I show up around 8:00 in the evening there’s about 15 people there uh three of them already
Had alcohol with them they were already drinking so I checked their IDs I made them go downstairs with the people that were over 21 to play pool everyone else that was under stayed upstairs I stayed down there with them for a while every once in a while I walked upstairs
Checked on some people I let Haley watch everybody else upstairs I didn’t notice anybody drinking up there when I went back downstairs I was watching people playing pool shortly after that within a half hour or so about 50 or 60 people just barreled in the door I knew I
Couldn’t handle all these people let me explain something to you yes these people came to a party at 7:30 this young lady has been a friend of your sister since the fifth grade these people tell me that the reason that they left at 8:00 was because there
Were 40 to 50 people there at the party it wasn’t until so I’m speaking many of whom they didn’t know and there was underage drinking there now they were coming to a party that day she was coming there because she was a friend of your sisters
So who do you think I’m going to believe the people that left at 8:00 because they felt so uncomfortable there that they left a party and they took four people with them or you think I’m going to believe you who was downstairs watching some people play pool do you
Get it you get where I’m going sit down now Mr Howard yes ma’am you have 30 seconds to tell me why this isn’t your responsibility I feel I’m just as much of a victim as Mr bone here because of the fact that I’ve got property damage which I have some
Pictures to show I couldn’t care less about your property damage you brought that on yourself okay I don’t know who these people were they were Uninvited and they just showed up with bats and how old are you I’m 54 they didn’t show up with bats sir they were at the party
Many of them many of them during the course of the evening they were thrown out of the party and they went and they got more people to come back with them but some of the same people according to your daughter cuz she first said she
Knew who some of them were and then she said well I don’t know I was in my room I didn’t want to go she knew the names of some of them who came back they just came back with more people now you were working Friday night yes do you work
Saturday night yes do you work Sunday night no well then that’s the day you should have had the party not on a night when you’re not going to be home if you choose to allow your teenage daughter to have a party in her house and you believed her which is the first mistake
With regard to a teenager to begin with right that they’re going to have a handful of people 15 people that turns into 40 or 50 and you don’t make adequate arrangements for supervision which clearly you didn’t make because according to your son you had discussed this party but hadn’t made any
Definitive plans for him to chaperone it that’s what you told me I wasn’t well that’s your problem when you open your house to teenagers and you’re not there you’re going to be responsible for anything bad that goes on in that house fortunately it was just his car that got damaged but
If somebody had been sexually molested in your house some 17y old you wouldn’t have a house anymore sir you wouldn’t have a house you wouldn’t have a car you wouldn’t have a bank account you would have nothing because it would be your fault and you can’t say I thought my son
Was going to chaperon and I didn’t know the people when you open your house to teenagers to have a party and things get out of hand it’s your fault period end of discussion so if your house was damaged and vandalized it’s a good lesson you’re responsible for the damage to his car
Which is how much sir $2,574 39 can I see it please you have pictures of the car yes ma’am like to see the pictures too they’re not very good pictures but they are there what were they there with bats judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of
$2,574 39 thank you very much that’s all Alan winter says ex-boyfriend Rolando kjo owes for a truck loan and for assaulting him during a dinner party Mr Winters you and the defendant were in a relationship for a couple of years according to what I’ve read lived together and then the relationship ended
Unfortunately Unica it is your claim that you loaned the defendants of money to buy a truck yes Ma and then it is your claim that he assaulted you yes ma’am the defendant says that he paid for the truck through Services correct took care of your home took care of
Things for the two years that you lived together also paid money towards your mortgage every month that should be counted towards the truck debt this truck debt came about as a result of a loan that he had with someone else that he had been involved with and when the
Two of you became involved you said you don’t want any strings attached so you paid off the truck loan to the other person thereby making him only beholden to you for this debt yes ma’am de honor when I met Alan he offered and that was
His idea he said Rolando I can help you with this as long as you take care of the Chihuahua help me remodeling the house because just a second how much did you pay for the truck I paid $7,500 $38 for the truck and how much did the
Defendant pay you back he on June 1st he gave me a check for $3,000 what was the $3,000 for sir for the truck fine leaving a balance of $4,530 because if he told you to take care of the chihuahua in exchange for the truck you wouldn’t have given him
$3,000 right right it’s going to be like shooting fish in a barrel just thinking that’s a lot of chihuaha your honor what uh he also said if you help me to remodel the house that would contribute towards the loan so in my mind I always understood that okay I’m going to take
Care of the chihuahuas I’m going to help him remodeling the house just forget the Chihuahua what did you do to remodel the house uh we demolished the back of the house that was hours of Labor and um I also helped him to title a new bathroom
And kitchen and how many hours of Labor did you put in the back well throughout the two years would say more than a 100 hours yes yeah originally there were two loans and uh last Tuesday we went to small claims court in Utah and he was given financial credit for the work that
He did on my house really yes ma’am and I have evidence to prove that okay so that was one loan but you’ve already resolved the issue therefore yes ma’am with regard to any work that he may have done to pay down alone yes ma’am so why
Are you bringing it up again you only get credit for the work once sir I don’t know I he’s the one that is doing all this right now and and we had a fight the last time and you can only bring up the work once now you want to go into this
Assault sir yes ma’am on December 1st 2006 I was having friends over for dinner I was having Mike and another friend over for dinner Mike is my witness Mr Winters this assault happened December 1st 2006 yes ma’am when did you and the defendant separate in July 2006
De honor in July sh put your hand down you’ll have the chance so this assault allegedly happened after you separated yes ma’am we remained friends fine December 1st 2006 I’ll hear you okay he dropped the dogs off uh because he provided dog care for me um but the CH
Was were own by both of us so he came over at 1:00 the afternoon dropped the dogs off went up to a job interview came back to my house at 3:00 in the afternoon and we were talking and I asked him if he was drunk and he said no
I’m tired tied I haven’t been drinking I knew that he had been drinking so we went to get groceries cuz he was cooking Costa Rican dinner for our guests and on the way to the grocery store I told him I said Rolando I know you’re drunk and I
Know you lied to me about it you don’t need to lie to me about being drunk I knew he was going through a hard time or whatever so when we got back to the house escalated into an argument and he started to approach me and the police
Had already been involved once before um and so I I put in my hand and I stopped him I said don’t come near me if you come any closer to me I’m going to call the police you know that you’ll be arrested immediately so he didn’t and
Then I said I want you to leave my house you’re not to stay here for dinner I don’t want this argument to happen in front of friends and he refused to leave so he sat on my couch for hours he said nothing so I sat on a chair opposite him
And I was reading or whatever and all of a sudden he just pops up and he’s very animated and he said okay we need to cook dinner this was a few hours later so he starts cooking dinner and I go in the kitchen and I’m chopping things up
For him and I told him I said you have to promise me that you will not drink anymore tonight and that you will not argue with me or bring up an argument while my friends are here and he promised so Mike and my other friend came to the house and Rolanda was very
Animated he was he was a very gracious host his dinner was delicious and we had a really nice dinner well after dinner we were playing a game called shut the box and it requires each player to have 1010 $1 bills I knew Rolando did not
Have that money so I offered to give him $101 bills earlier and that’s one thing that caused an argument earlier because of the money issue so we were in the front room and he would come in and out and he was very pensive and he would sit
And watch us and then he would disappear um the game becomes very very ambun us we were uh screaming yelling and having a good time and laughing and and we were also drinking cocktails and the next thing we know uh Rolando showed up in the living room wearing nothing but my
Bathrobe he had gone into my bedroom and taken off all his clothes and he had his underwear in my bathrobe on and he came in immediately started verbally attacking me and and Mike and I watched him and we didn’t comment we said nothing my other friend is a person that
I also used to date and so Rolando started to argue with him and and my other friends started to defend me after a while of of hearing M kho just scream and yell and scream and yell the three of us went into the kitchen to get away
From him and so and left him yes ma’am in the living room he followed us into the kitchen he picked up a glass of water and he went to throw the water on me but he hit my other friend who’s not here today and then before I knew it he
Was just hitting me in the face and I have pictures of my face i’ like to see to show I also have a letter from the victims resource center from Sal Lake City so Mike and my other friend grabbed Miss kjo and held him down but he wouldn’t
Stop fighting there was blood all over my kitchen I went into the bathroom to see what my face looked like because I’m a flight attendant they won’t allow me to fly when my face is cut up and it came to a point Rolando would not stop
He he just would not stop and so my friend picked him up physically and threw him off my front porch he landed in the in a pile in the snow and my friend wasn’t even sure if he was hurt because he landed on a sidewalk in this
Note he was wearing his bathrobe at the time he was wearing my bathrob at the time and so a few minutes later Mr Cano once again jumped up and and took off and that’s why I didn’t call the police okay Mr Cano let me hear what happened
On December the 1st if you remember first of all I want to mention that we were still in a relationship wonder what happened on December 1st and December 1st he tell me how he got all cut up in December 1st he called me and said Rolando come over I want to invite you
To have some cocktails to drink and I went over to drink with him and then he’s like we can invite some people over to play games and and that was Mike and his other friend and um Allan and and me and his other friend we were drinking I
Had been in this relationship for two years it was very dysfunctional Alan would come from flying and he I don’t want to hear about I want to hear about December 1st well we were drinking and Alan punched me on the face because I told their friends that I have to put
This facade pretending that we were in this good relationship so he punched me in the face because I said that and then uh he started attacking me and we got in this fight his friend may I see the photographs of your face please I don’t have a photograph but I he punched you
He punched me first then did you I’d like to see the police report I don’t have one but this is a pattern that Allan has I don’t want to hear a pattern I want to hear police report in may we had a fight he I don’t want to

Guilty who was getting married uh Julie and I according to your complaint Miss cotton your family lives on the river correct is that where the wedding was yes the defendant is the son of old family friend and because there was so much land and the venue was spread out
You rented two golf carts sort of help people get from one place to another especially people who might have been a little older those golf carts were just rented for the event it is your claim that the defendant without permission drove one of those golf carts and
Damaged it you’re being charged by the rental company for the damage to the golf cart and you want him to pay for it correct who saw Mr strip matter strip matter strip matter riding the golf cart um Trust Hall how old are you Mr Hall um 18 what
Do you know about Mr strip matter on the golf court well I was the guy in charge of taking people to and from the parking to the wedding and we were at the re with the golf cart with the golf cart right and after the wedding we went to
The reception and we had the two golf carts parked over there and we were all sitting around eaten and I saw him take off in the golf cart and we just went out I went out there after him to see what saw who taking off Dylan and Greg
That’s Dylan would be you yes and who’s Greg I Greg perfect I love it no I didn’t ask you to go over there yet well um I didn’t ask you to go over there yet okay that is a lot I didn’t go over go ahead okay so I went out there
And I we were just riding we were riding around for a little while who was riding around me Dylan and Greg how did you get on the golf cart cuz I went out there when I saw him riding around I walked out there so you walked outside and and
The three of you got on the golf cart right well they I they were on it first I went out there after they were already on it I went out there who drove they were driving we actually we all took turns driving who drove first uh Tristan
Drove first but there’s also a fourth person in the party uh their son Chase was also in the golf cart and he also drove it with us is that right Chase was in the golf cart yes so who drove first I I guess I drove I drove first who
Drove second uh Chase drove second who drove third I drove third all right what happened next okay so we’re driving around and we were just driving around with the golf cart and after a little while I said okay we should probably bring this back so we were on the way
Back down this road and that’s whenever he thought he could make it through these two rocks if that’s what you want to call them they were more like Boulders and then he just ran into one of them now did you know you weren’t supposed to be driving around in that
Golf cart at that time in the back of my mind I did and did you know you weren’t supposed to be hey did you look at me did you know you weren’t supposed to be driving around in the car court at that time yes I knew that did you know you
Weren’t supposed to be driving around at that time and I assume you wasn’t supposed to be driving around that time that’s correct so what are you suing him for because he had been drinking at the wedding at my mom’s and I had told him
To put it down and I I saw them take off but mind you I’m in the middle of my reception and I heard them and so did my friends hear them screaming come on let’s go get on the golf cart it was just those two and they were drunk at
Our wedding they did take it the owner of the your son was there how how old is he 13 what’ you do to him actually both of my sons had told them and so I Tristan to stop and he was driving driving around in the golf cart well a
Little more than driving he was driving erratically just a second where do you think it’s all his responsibility because he was told him to put it back and he didn’t who told him to put it back all of them they did not they were driving around with it they did not tell
Him to put it back what are you nuts listen Miss cotton yes if you’re telling me that you saw the them get in the golf cart and drive around with it and you didn’t leave your reception to go and stop them from driving around with it my
Oldest son actually did he’s not here you not your son your 13-year-old was in the golf cart right but my oldest son also took the keys from them did you see that no but they all told me and the owner they can’t tell you anything Miss cotton you have a responsibility a golf
Cart is an attractive nuisance that’s what it is for young people that’s why a 13-year-old got in the golf cart he admitted to Wrecking it and tell told us he was sorry they were all involved in it if anything he’s responsible for a quarter of it not for the whole thing
Your son is responsible therefore you’re responsible for a quarter he’s responsible for a quarter he’s responsible for a quarter he’s not responsible for the whole damage to the to the golf cart they shouldn’t have been in the golf cart to begin with and if you saw them and you’re the grown-up
You should have seen to it that they weren’t in the golf court can I say something listen if you knew he was drinking what’s the drinking age where you are anyway 21 if he got hurt and he had been drinking at your wedding he would have
Own that house on the river I can’t control him he’s not my child oh yes you can you can put him out of your house he wasn’t at our house it was an open field we weren’t there he went off in a different area Miss cotton it’s your
Responsibility when you have an event to ensure that there is no underage drinking and based upon what you tell me you saw him drinking and drunk at your wedding you then saw him get into a golf cart and drive away and it was your reception and you couldn’t do anything
About it cuz you didn’t want to leave the reception that’s what you told me I didn’t see him get in I heard them say they were going to do it and take off and people were getting less and less sympathy for you I mean that doesn’t
Give him any right to do that and he’s going to pay for one quarter of the damage but I have less and less sympathy for you you planned a wedding and you had a bunch of kids including these two people not only the defendants who were drinking at your wedding and that’s your
Responsibility you are responsible for the venue that’s what the law says and if they had gotten into a car instead of a golf cart and instead of going between a boulder and scratching your golf cart which is what he did he got into his car and he killed somebody you know who they
Come after you that’s what the law says I didn’t serve him the alcohol and he stole it you did serve him alcohol I I did actually we didn’t serve any alcohol you did serve him alcohol well there’s I mean it’s in a bar area anybody can walk
To the bar and get it he didn’t get it from the bar he did go and take it did you get it from the bar uh actually there was a fountain outside the wedding reception that had wine and uh there’s a cup there and cups and you could just go
In and pour yourself some and did you not look at me and I told you to put it down second just a second is that what you’re telling me then what you do is when you have children and you have open alcohol you ensure that the children who
Were there don’t drink the alcohol well only miss cotton you’re going to talk to me you me you may be used to getting the last word I’m trying to tell you 16 years of education and 30 years in the judicial system it’s your responsibility to ensure no underage drinking at your
Venue do you understand yeah how much is it going to cost to fix this golf cart 1,119 35 your responsibility is $279 young man do you understand yes judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of2 $79 only because you have to accept a certain amount of responsibility think
That’s reasonable sure good that’s all David Davis claims ex-wife jimie Leathers falsely accused him of harassing her Mr Davis the defendant is your former wife and it is your claim that she filed a false accusation against you and she was seeking to get a restraining order against you you were
Forced to hire an attorney the case was subsequently dismissed you want her to pay your attorney’s fees and damages yes ma’am your former wife says the accusations that she made in the application for the protective order were true and she says that you were threatening and abusive and she’s going
To prove that to me you have one child together who is now five yes ma’am you’ve been divorced since when uh divorce is final January 2006 and when did you separate June of 2004 reading between the lines of your complaint and the defendant’s answer there has been some acrimonious stuff
Going on between the two of you it at least in part owing to the fact that you are in substantial aers in your child support that’s that’s her attention yes yes I’m reading between the line sir because I am an experienced Family Court practitioner that if you’re divorced
That means you don’t like each other anymore are you remarried no ma’am are you remarried yes I am so she’s not mad because you have a life and she doesn’t she’s happy she’s married are you happily married actually my husband and I are separated not happily married
But uh we are best friends and I see him about three times a week all right but she’s not mad at you because she doesn’t have a life and you do she’s mad at you sir because you don’t pay regular child support uh ma’am may I yes um I agree to
Pay child support from the day I left of $600 a month I’ve been paying that up until I got laid off in June 11th of 2006 I phone Miss Leathers I told her I was laid off that I could not afford to six sh that I could not afford $600 a
Month we could handle it one of two ways once I reive what my unemployment benefits would be I would give you a set amount every month until I find another a job when did you find listen to me when did you find another job uh January
January of what of this year what kind of work do you do um I do um aircraft fueling technicians I refuel aircrafts I work on fuel cells of aircrafts how did you support yourself between June of 2006 and January of 2007 who are you living with my girlfriend Patricia and I
Was receiving unemployment benefits so you had no rent correct how much were you sending the defendant between June and January well your honor that requires a figure they were taking the money directly out of my unemployment benefits When I told her I could not afford the $600 a month I told her that
I would go back to family court and I would file a petition for modifying my child support why should you get a modification I’m no longer making the money I was making before nowhere near it then you get two jobs I have two jobs
You I have my daughter 12 to 14 I have my daughter almost 50% that is that is untrue if you interrupt him again it’s not going to go well okay do you understand yes ma’am you agreed to pay your $600 a month your divorce was Final in January 2006 according to
You up until January of 2006 you were paying 600 a month because you separated in 2004 all of a sudden divorce is final and 5 months later you say I can’t pay you the $600 a month anymore now I need a modification I was laid off from work
That’s fine you can be laid off from work that doesn’t mean you can’t work when you have children you have to say I don’t care what I do I drive a cab I collect cans I go to a car wash I do whatever else I have to do to contribute
To the support of my child who do you work for I’m a school teacher she teaches she contributes to the support of the child I have support of the child and if I can’t do it fueling planes I’ll do it doing something else until I can get a job refueling planes now the
Having said that sir all I said to you was that’s the reason for the acrimony because you haven’t been paying child support regularly that being the case she’s going to tell me about why she filed this protective order and when when did you file this protective order Miss Leathers the middle of November
2006 and on what basis did you file the protective order as he said he and I separated in June of 2004 by the first week of July of 2004 I’m not interested in anything that happened in 2004 nothing okay I’m interested in anything that happened the three months immediately
Preceding November of 2006 good when you filed for a protective order okay period August 10th 2006 I went to pick up my daughter my mother was with me and my stepfather he dropped off my daughter and he said your game is over Jamie I’ve had a private investigator follow you
And I have your bank account information and I looked at my mother and I said these are the kinds of things I’m talking about my mom said you take your you keep walking so my stepfather and I walked well I don’t know what he meant
By that what did you mean I didn’t know what he meant by that what did you mean by that sir your honor the man she’s been living with the man she married this is the whole root of the problem we’ve been having this man she met on
The internet and moved out here from Chicago I had concerns about the welfare of my daughter she’s allowing this man to take my daughter to the public restroom she’s allow she allow listen to me listen to me that’s not your business it’s my daughter my two-year-old
Daughter it’s not listen to me it’s not your business just as it’s not her business that you’re living with this lady and the one thing we both care about is our child and neither one of us would do anything to the child that would cause the child’s harm unless of
Course you have proof that somebody is causing them damage if she complained to me that she didn’t like the fact that when your daughter was at your house you let her crawl into bed with you and your girlfriend I would say that’s none of your business and I’m saying to you your
Concerns about somebody that she met whether she met him on the Internet or she met him in a park or she met M McDonald’s are none of your business all I want to know is what games were you talking about sir I’m talking about the games where she has
Accused me to this man I have since she met this man I have wanted to meet him the three of them were at a restaurant my 2-year-old daughter says she has to go to the bathroom this man gets up and takes my daughter to the public restroom
I asked Miss letters why is he taking my daughter to the restroom I’m saying you’re the mother that is our daughter that’s none of your business I believe it is your honor I’m this woman allows some man she met on the internet to move out here to Chicago and take my daughter
To the restroom her husband no at the time it was not her husband the only reason they got married they married four days after this restraining order was dismissed because I raised the same issues in the courtroom that day and they got married 4 what happened and
What happened Mr Davis when you raised the same issues what did the judge say to you did the judge say oh my God oh my God we best call Child Protective Services immediately is that what the judge said to you no man be judge did not respond excuse me the
Judge did not respond to those that’s right the judge did not respond listen you don’t have control anymore sir if you believe that someone is doing something that is not in your child’s best interest and is harmful abusive or neglectful your responsibility is to go to court or call
Child Protective Services if you want to play that game I would discourage you from doing that but you don’t start up with her just as she would have no sympathy from me if she said I don’t believe that my daughter has any right to stay at their house she does stay at
Your house doesn’t she yes she does and occasionally crawls into bed with you yes she does sometimes she does and you sleep with her yes ma’am I do and she’s your girlfriend inappropriate um I don’t believe so oh well well who set you up to be the moral monitor you’re a just a
Second you’re a moral monitor you have now a 5-year-old child who knows that you’re not married to this lady that you share a bed with her I don’t know what you wear when you go to sleep and I don’t know what she wears when she goes
To sleep but she crawls into bed with you and if she said to me I’m not letting my daughter go there anymore if he’s going to let my daughter crawl into bed with her I would say to her it’s not your business she loves her father this
Is her father significant other I don’t like significant others I think you should be either married or not but it’s the 21st century I’m coming into the 21st century it’s not your business and I say the same thing to you it’s not your business I respect stly disagree
Well I don’t give rats behind sir that’s why I sit here that’s why I sit here and I have been in this business for 40 years yes ma’am I understand that 40 years and I’m telling you you got to let go of it now I want you to tell me what
You meant when you said the game is over I meant that for the last two years she had been putting my daughter in situations where my daughter has no business being involved with your honor I’m a school teacher I’m a listen to me listen she moved in with a man didn’t
Know that says a lot listen to me I’m getting the gist of it okay I want to know what he said to you that inspired you to file for a protective order the private investigator I found alarming okay because I’m thinking somebody’s following me around and private investigator he’s allowed to hire a
Private investigator if he wants to and then I get phone messages as well as phone calls um calling me names you say that in your answer that you save those yes I’d like to hear them give it to B please hate reason I never said I wasn’t give
You your money I know what I owe you this this is ridiculous I really hate what you did I believe in karma and you and James was coming to you one day I believe God will take care of okay so you have one message I have to message after message after message
But um that was the one that I thought pretty much wrapped up his anger is about the child support well so we called you a foul name right you a found I would like to say put your hand down Madam I’m sorry it’s just there’s been
Many messages listen to me put your hand down if that’s the worst of it it’s not terrible right not nice but not terrible go ahead keep going it’s this Vibe I would say as a woman that we get our intuition he makes me feel unsafe and uncomfortable can I see the application
That you filled out for the protective order sure and I can also give you I have been keeping a log of the um harassment when did you hire a private investigator Mr Davis actually your honor I didn’t hire a private investigator the information that I was talking about was information I received
From her mother and her father they didn’t did you just a second did you tell her that you had hired a private yes ma’am I did you lied to her yes I did in order to keep her mother and her father out of distance cuz they’re the
Ones who told me this information what information sir that basically the man that she was living with was someone she didn’t know from Chicago and moved him out here to live with her and my daughter talking about something that happened how many years ago sir no but
This but yes how many years ago it happened two years ago your honor but everything that happened after them getting together him taking my daughter to the restroom him taking my daughter to the locker room of a y and giving her a shower him that never happen him yes
It did my daughter’s swim class yes it did this is when I finally said you know what you can’t take a girl in a man can take a the shower Miss Miss Leathers listen to me listen to me somebody who sleeps with his daughter in a bed with
His girlfriend has no basis to complain about anything first of all you know I get off at 3:00 in the morning when I tell I get home she’s already getting up for work Mr Davis you’re backtracking sir how was that there is no question in
My mind when you told me that you have your daughter 50% of the time almost 46% 46 that’s not true it’s 25% the court ORD is right here court right here if you interrupt him again I’m throwing you out do you understand I understand I’m throwing you out there’s no question in
My mind Mr Davis that if your daughter spent either 25 or 46% of the time in your home that she was crawling into bed with the two of you now you don’t consider that wrong that’s your prerogative you keep your nose out of her business that’s what I’m telling you
Listen very very lucky that you got rid of him I know you’re very lucky that you got you’re very lucky that you got rid of him because he’s this kind of thick you got him he’s yours and and he’s a very nice man he’s a control very
Nice man he’s a very nice man he is controlling you’re interrupt when he’s controlling and he doesn’t see the inequality of his positions he has to let go he has to say what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and I have to rely on the fact that my wife
Ex-wife who is a school teacher who teaches children who was an educated woman wouldn’t do anything to place my daughter at risk but she has and he’s not so of you how I just told you how this is a woman I’ve known for years this is a man she met on the internet
Who did not know oh you’re an idiot did not know you’re an idiot you know something she did not know this man you know something I got it the truth is his conduct is such that I understand why you felt threatened I feel that today he is unyielding and controlling and I
Understand why you sort of is dismissed sir that’s excuse me R this woman lied in her in her declaration I have proof of that she actually lied wow Alan and Terry Vos Nunes are suing Melissa mly for the value of a pool table and bedroom set they sold her the couple
Claims Melissa ultimately cancelled her check Mr and Mrs as Nunes you sold the defendant your home yes and when you sold her your home she also purchased a bedroom set in a pool table independent of the purchase price of the home I assume after the closing you moved out
And she stopped payment on the check that is correct youran you want the money for the bedroom set absolutely pool table Mrs moly says that the pool table was misrepresented to her as a slate pool table and it’s not a slate pool table at something called slatron
And she’s not paying for it was there a separate bill of sale for the furniture no you’re honor and did the contract for the sale of the house provide anything about furniture no you’re honor Miss moly how many times did you see the house before you purchased it a few few
Times well what’s a few a couple is two a few is more than two usually more than three yes few let’s pause for a moment and I want you to think how many times you were in the house before the closing three times is that correct that
Is correct your honor very good and on each of the three occasions did you see the bedroom set I believe I did and on each of the three occasions did you see the pool table yes I walked past it when you came to the house did you come alone
I came at different times once with the real estate agent once by myself once uh my husband met me there okay when your husband met you there it would only be natural for you to show him the bedroom set and the pool table we weren’t looking at the bedroom set and the pool
Table I said it would only be natural to show him the bedroom set and the pool table if you were interested in buying it we weren’t interested in buying it until after he had come we had asked them later on if they were going to be selling any of the furniture then I
Assume that your husband saw the bedroom set in the pool table so just answer my questions let’s not play with each other and I assume that when you went home with your husband you discussed whether or not you would buy any of the furniture that would be a logical thing
To do yes and both you and your husband decided that if they were prepared to sell the bedroom set in the pool table you were interested in purchasing it I decided that yes you decided that independently of your husband yes I did you felt as if you had the expertise to
Do that all by yourself expertise as far as what I just decided I was going to buy it and you made that decision yourself how old are you 39 kind of work do you do I stay home with the kids and your husband he works for Verizon and
Who makes the financial decisions in the house I do okay now on what date did you make this arrangement to sell the furniture the pool table and the Ed January after the contract in the approval to purchase my home miss Moy had sent a piece of paper to explaining
She had interest in the bedroom set can I see the piece of paper do you have it and then on you don’t have the piece of paper on 2 28 she wrote a check can I see it please yes yes that would be February 28th yes ma’am but prior to
That on 218 she did come to the house the first time initially to view the bedroom set and the pool table with her son and we opened our home to her just one second yes Miss moly did you write this out pool table Furniture yes so
This is your contract yes you have no other written contract No real cases real people Judge Judy Alan and Terry Vos Nunes say they sold a bedroom set at a pool table to Melissa moly they claim that several days later Melissa cancelled her check you paid him $900 for a pool table and Furniture yes furniture that have his reference to his
The bedroom set yes okay and you canceled this check yes and I gave them a new check for the 450 I tried to reach them by telephone we went to closing on the 28th on the 1st of March I called Terry vas Nunes on her cell phone which
She had given me I left her a message stating that uh I was disappointed the pool table was not slate like she had told me she didn’t call me back until 8 days later so I attempted to reach them couldn’t get them 8 days later miss moly
Miss moly listen to me you are responsible for this this is your contract absent another writing this is your contract you agree to purchase a slate pool table from no it doesn’t say slate pool table it says pool table doesn’t say new it doesn’t say 2004 it
Doesn’t say green it doesn’t say it says pool table and furniture from them for $900 this forms your contract and when you buy secondhand furniture if you want to be specific you can either do one of two things you can have an expert come and look at it before you purchase it
That you can do who are you I’m her brother your honor did you look at it before she purchased it she had called me on the phone may I stand up sure she had called me on the phone and she asked me that they selling the pool table she
I said if it’s slate she says $50 I said if it’s slate it’s a score buy it if it’s flakeboard do not buy it the humidity in New York will destroy it it’s no good it it’s not worth anything well why didn’t you come and look at it
Because I live a distance away and she was making that decision immed and I told her do not Bight she called him up she to confirm it is listen to me sit down you weren’t there when she called him you can’t report on anything that
She said she told me it was slate when I asked her prior to giving her the check I said is it slate or is it wood she told me it was slate she told me the difference between slate board and wood the balls don’t bounce the wood won’t
Warp it’s slate I didn’t go looking under the table did you have a discussion with them about that Melissa called me on the telephone after I gave her the $900 quote for the furniture and she asked me if the pool table was slate I told her I didn’t know however I do
Think that it’s slatron in any event there was no discussion and there is certainly no indication in any contract that $450 of this $900 is ascribed to the pool table the fact that you decided that the bedroom furniture is worth $450 I didn’t decide that they told me
To breakdown there was $450 for the table 450 for the furniture you should put it in the contract you on first of all I don’t believe that I believe that what happened is they said how much do you want for the pool table and for the furniture and they said $900 or whatever
They said and you agreed on $900 in any event you had no right to do this when you buy secondhand items it’s up to you it’s a buyer beware you have to make a judgment and you had an opportunity to bring an expert in to look at the
Furniture you had an opportunity to have your brother come down to take a look at it but you gave them a check and this is your contract and your contract is to purchase a pool table and Furniture that’s what you bought can’t I’m sorry she was tricked listen to me sir tried
Yes I was I was told it was slate and it’s not and Mr vas Nunes wasn’t there listen to me listen to me neither was he and what your brother said to you was listen if they’re selling you if they’re dumb enough to sell you a slate pool table for
$450 it’s a score quote that’s exactly what he just said to money I’m speaking I’m speaking that’s what he said he said sis if they’re willing to sell you a slate pool table for $450 these idiots it’s a score it’s a steal buy it so you thought you were
Getting a real bargain that’s what he told me Jing for the plaintiff in the amount of $900 that’s thank you very much kilin sarden claims former friend Megan foot drove his car recklessly and crashed it Megan says the accident was the car’s fault Mr sarden you allowed

Really recall but I was never given a speeding ticket were you taken to the hospital I refused the ambulance ride because I didn’t know what kind of situation he had as far as insurance I didn’t want to put him into financial debt what are you kidding me you didn’t
Go to the hospital cuz you probably had a high blood alcohol level I was never given a sobriety test ask you that also your honor I have in my police report where it says that she had slid 144 ft also if you was doing about 50 miles per
Hour you would have been able to stop at around 175 you have any expert testimony she doesn’t have any expert witness do you are you a mechanic friend you’re not a mechanic are you you have any proof that there was something wrong with his car no I do
Not your honor what I do have an eyewitness that was in the vehicle with me that saw the steering malfunction and lock up on me before or after you you slammed on the brakes um before Oh really love to hear that witness love to hear that witness do I
Stand up are you sure you want to do this are you sure you want to do this the question I was I was there are you sure you want to do this is my question fine over here your last name Rosado M Rosado what arrangements had
You you made to go to the party I just I was went to work and I was like you know what there’s a birthday party I can go to the party after work I said what arrangements had you made to go to the party she was going to come pick me up
Now what would possibly give her the impression that he was supposed to pick you up he had told me that day he had dropped me off that morning to work was there anything wrong with the car not that morning how many times has he taken
You to work a couple of times how many is a couple a couple is two maybe four or five times times how many other times have you been in his car a lot of times has had any steering problems one time we were in the vehicle
And he was like did you guys feel that it was his car M like he like basically what he was trying to say was his car was messed up when we was in the car don’t tell me basically what he was trying to say Madam tell me about what
Happened we was in the car one day and we was driving on the highway I believe they was on the highway and we was in the on the highway and he was like wow did you guys feel that he’s like I have to get my car fixed when was that the
Day before that I we had the accident but it had nothing to do with the steering maybe not I’m not sure I’m not I don’t know nothing about car listen to me the day before the accident so he said to you wow something’s wrong with
The car but yet you got in the car that morning for him to take you to work that’s true why would you put your life in your hands like that don’t know only a stupid person would do that you’re not a stupid person are you
No now you want to tell me what you observed on the 17th of March we was in the vehicle we was driving on Pritchard which is the road how fast were you going I don’t know your honor well let me ask you this were you going 30 m an
Hour 40 mil an hour 60 M an hour I wasn’t the passenger I was in the back seat I wasn’t OBS like I wasn’t looking at the speedometer you don’t have to look at the speedometer to know whether you were going 30 m an hour or 60 M an
Hour I wasn’t paying attention your honor perfect then you can sit down you weren’t paying attention I’m not interested in what you have to say anything else you want to say to me yes he signed up for an insurance policy where he knew he was only covered for
Him to drive his vehicle if anything were to happen in a situation like this my question is why would you let someone use your car when you know you’re not insured if anything were to happen in your vehicle the question is whether you were driving negligently no your honor I
Wasn’t that was sort of a rhetorical question there’s no question in my mind that you were speeding based upon the damage to this vehicle there’s no question in my mind that you were going over and above the speed limit there’s also no question in my mind that you
Would had something to drink that night it’s irrelevant therefore whether or not he had insurance that covered you and if you got hurt you shouldn’t have driven too fast and you shouldn’t have had anything to drink while you were driving that’s the price that you pay when you
Act stupid meanwhile you have to replace his car judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $5,000 that’s all thank you Johna parties are excused you may step out 25-year-old Anna himark is suing her boyfriend Eddie rsby Jr for the return of her belongings Anna says Eddie threw her out of their apartment
And then disposed of her property Miss himark what was your relationship with the defendant when you moved in with him we were friends at that point there was no other involvement according to what I’m reading between the lines you moved in with him and relocated from one jurisdiction to another correct and you

Going so you called the police and the police said the lease to the apartment is in his name they’re not going to put him out and what did you do I said I need a safe place to go and they put me in a domestic V shelter perfect so you

Saying I would be there the following Sunday at 2: p.m. I showed up and he was not there so I went over there consistently every day looking for his vehicle until finally one day I did find his vehicle there and called the police and had them knock on the door and ask
If I could retrieve my belongings and he said he no longer had them although they were visible behind him what was visible behind him a pot you said there’s crock poot knife blocks some dishes you mean you saw that from the door where you were standing what was in the kitchen I

Junk so you don’t have the right to throw out her junk you understand that I understand it’s annoying she was annoying I get it but you have no right to dump her stuff you have to preserve it for a reasonable period of time considering the fact that she was
Removed from the house with her child limited window of time so you have to take reasonable care especially since she did pay $200 towards the rent right yes none of this stuff is worth according to you $657 not on a great day is this I don’t

Chargeing for the plaintiff in the amounts of $1,000 that’s all step out Mark windh Housen says ex-girlfriend Lana Speakman owes for the money he paid towards a Dodge Durango Lana claims Mark was stealing from their share for his drug habit Mr windh Housen you and the defendant lived together for a period of
Time and it is your claim that at the time she broke up with you and told you to leave she kept your property she kept the truck that you had been making payments on and some other personal property that you had purchased for the house correct Miss Pikman said
Everything is hers yes when did you move in together uh about 6 of 04 June of4 right how old are you I’m 24 how old are you 34 you have children no what kind of work do you do Mr wend Housen I’m a welder how long have You’ been welding

With my money why do you keep asking me a question I know the question that I asked what did you do with your money when you got your money when you were living with Miss peakman I cashed my checks at the US Bank and I went and paid it
To just gave her cash well how much cash did you give from uh approximately about $340 per week it was different every week tell me about this truck this truck uh I needed a vehicle to get back and forth to work I did not have one I wasn’t able to put
One in my name cuz my my credit wasn’t the greatest and at the time I was working on getting a work permit to make a commute back and forth to work what did your bad credit have to do with getting a work permit Mr wend Housen
Because I wasn’t able to put the truck in my name did you have a driver’s license I did not I just had a well that’s an answer why you can’t have a truck in your name sir so you were going to drive this truck despite the fact that you didn’t
Have a license no until I got my work permit did you drive the truck without a license so miss Speakman put the truck in her name and allowed you to drive it without a license correct J down I get to you and who made the payments on the
Truck I did how much were the payments every month uh approximately about 34 40 a month 340 a month it’s exactly the same amount that you gave her you said a week that’s a number you must like you told me you gave her $340 a week when
You cash your paycheck and now you tell me that that your truck payment was $340 that was excluding making the payments on the refrigerator and the stove and the bedroom set just a how much was the truck payment about 340 and how much did you used to give
Her every week from your paycheck around 340 yes he’s cut it down and he’s not going to waiver and how did you make the truck payment cash now cuz we’re just dealing with the truck so far when did you kick him out July 7th of 06 why because I
Found out he was doing drugs he actually July 1st is actually when we broke up he couldn’t get a ride until July 7th he stole $400 out of my purse said he was going to the store to get ice and didn’t come back for like 12 hours because he was doing drugs what
Kind of drugs does he do cocaine have you ever seen him do cocaine no I haven’t he told me what did he say a couple months prior he took a lot of we had a joint checking account for a little while because I went to get money
Out and all the money was gone well then I questioned him about it and he finally told me that he was doing cocaine that he had a drug problem and then he didn’t want to tell me what the drug was and then he finally told me it was cocaine
How much money did you take out of the going to count about $1,500 do you remember when it was March and April he did it on two different occasions where he took hundreds of dollars out a couple times I mean hundred’s like $600 a night it’s not
True no no don’t do drugs no I don’t you willing to take a drug test I am willing yes willing to take a hair follicle test that’s fine right after court it’s fine you understand that if you go for one of these tests they will and if it’s positive they won’t let you
Be a welder you understand that correct you prepared to sign a release that the drug test results can be sent to your employer uh oh is not an answer I have I have smoked weed yes weed we’re not talking about Sir we’re talking cocaine all right got me yeah I got you
Perfect you have a problem and you’re 24 years old you better get get rid of your problem do enough cocaine so you’re going to have a brain like mush you know when you start up here you can have a brain like mush when you start over here it’s over very very
Soon now how could you take money out of her bank account it’s my money too well if you’re putting in $300 a week to run a household you have rent you have food you have gas you have electric you have all the other stuff and was he giving
You an extra $340 for the truck payment no he wasn’t he gave me a his checks were different every week so he gave sometimes it was only $100 sometimes he didn’t give me any money at all yeah because if he’s making $15 an hour earning $122,000 a year just doesn’t
Well that doesn’t doesn’t make it the truck payment was $320 and it did come directly out of my bank account ever since I bought well it may have come directly out of your bank account that doesn’t mean quite frankly Miss Speakman that he wasn’t giving you money
My question is was he giving you money earm marked for this car payment or was he giving you a certain amount of money every week it was never it was different amounts every week because like I said sometimes his checks were always different sometimes he would give me
Nothing sometimes he would give me $100 there was a couple times he probably gave me $300 and what about the monthly truck payment what did he give you money for the monthly truck payment no in cash is my question no okay go ahead sir uh yeah I was just kind of curious how
Could she make the payment for a car payment a truck payment a house payment and all the other utilities if I was not paying any money to that household she didn’t say you weren’t paying any money but how could she afford more money than

Certainly don’t think that you want to get stuck with this truck and turn it over to him and I certainly don’t believe that he each and every month paid you his portion of the expenses as well as a $340 for the truck because he didn’t make that much money right now

And I will direct this truck that you want to be turned over to do you understand okay I do but good thank you very much goodbye Britney Lawler claims ex-boyfriend Nathan Fletcher broke their apartment lease Nathan says Britany kicked him out after he spanked her son Miss Lawler according to your complaint
You and the defendant lived together signed a one-year lease in an apartment you moved in there were three of you you the defendant and you have a child who’s six you lived together and everything was pretty okay for a while and then there was an incident involving your son
And the incident involving your son surrounded an eating tantrum that he had and according to Mr Fletcher he threw a tantrum and Mr Fletcher spanked him after that the two of you separated never got back together again Mr Fletcher did pay the rent for a couple
Of months and then stopped you want him to pay the last three or four months rent because he signed the lease with you Mr Fletcher says that he really anticipated that you would be back together again that you told him to leave and that he’s not going to pay any
Rent since you asked him to leave and not only asked him to leave you told him to leave I believe in your answer Mr Fletcher you say that her parents gave her an ultimatum either you left or they were taking her son yes ma’am is that
What happened no well we’ll find out if they did say that it probably would have been the right thing to do Mr Fletcher yes ma’am there are certain given facts in this case signed the joint lease which obligated you to pay half the rent you did not pay half
The rent for how many months three I believe so yes ma’am is that right yes three months but for the other seven months you did and what was your share of the rent 745 a month and yours was 745 yes ma’am where are you living now
I’m still living there the lease is not up yet and I’m moving back in with my parents who’s paying the rent now I am from what I had to borrow money I had to take out a personal loan with the bank in order to cover the rent do you work
Yes okay Mr Fletcher tell me when you spanked her son it was uh evening of um the 8th Monday had uh cooked some dinner for him huh eth of what uh January he was eating dinner all of a sudden he just started having a little tantrum and
I told him stop spitting food all over the carpet told him to go to his room wouldn’t comply so I I spank him why don’t you just pick him up and put him in his room didn’t think about it how old is he he was five at the time where
Did you spank him on his bottom what’ you use back of my hand how many times did you hit him I hit him once once yes ma’am is that right I wasn’t there I I’d have to take his word or my son’s word so well you don’t have to take his word
What did your son say my son said that he had hit him very hard so he was upset is there any mark on him there was a little Mark yes you told your parents yes and what happened when I saw it I asked him I said you know what you can’t
Stay right now this is not going to be a good situation I don’t know what’s going to happen I asked him to leave temporarily while he maybe did some parenting classes maybe anger management or something to help cool things down and maybe fix the situation so that we
Could stay together so what do you want him to do want him to fulfill his obligation and and continue to pay the rest of the rent as he there miss Lawler he can’t live there because of his own behavior because of his own actions I
Mean I don’t think if he hit I’m not advocating Mr Fletcher using corporal punishment on your child let’s start with that however since you left him with your son in a position of parenting Authority there’s a difference between corporal punishment and excessive corporal punishment if Mr Fletcher says
He hit him once on the behind and you have no reason to dispute that and if you told him to leave as a result of that and he did not have the ability to stay in the apartment because of that he shouldn’t have to pay the rent he he
Signed a lease and because of his actions you move and how am I going to move with my son when everything in that apartment was mine listen to me Miss Waller that’s a choice that you have instead of telling him to leave say listen we have the following choices
We’re both on this lease I can’t afford the rent cuz I’m not working I’m going to move back with my parents you can stay in the apartment or if I stay in the apartment you have to do something with the lease but you told him to leave
That’s temporary no no no no no no no yes it doesn’t no you gave him no no no my my D temporary he left some of his stuff in the apartment so he knew it was not permanent I told him you get some parenting classes you do some coun does
That has nothing to do with the lease yes it does it has everything to do with law it has nothing to do with the lease Madam he didn’t sign a lease and sign on to take on parenting classes or angle management classes that wasn’t a condition at least that he would fulfill
His obligation to pay his rent for the entire year it doesn’t matter what happened he has an obligation to finish paying the rent that’s why you’re here he did in fact pay two months rent when he wasn’t living there yes because he said he would continue to pay the rent
Because it was his obligation and I’m telling you that you told him to leave I asked him to leave temporarily until the situation calmed down am I supposed to put my son and me in some when Le when is your Le listen to me when is your
Lease up my lease is up in end of this month well you should have come to court earlier I would have told you to go back to your parents earlier and told him to move back into the what I have done he can’t pay the rent we would have both
Still been on the lease and we both still would be Miss Lawler that’s a what if and what I’m telling you is the lease is up in 20 days instead of waiting 20 days you should have sued him before should have gone in the first month that
He said I’m not paying any more rent I couldn’t because I had to go back every month and then and then I would have said to you Miss Lawler go home to your parents now Mr Fletcher you go back to the apartment and continue to pay the
Rent he couldn’t pay the rent by himself either way if he had stayed or I had stayed it doesn’t matter we’ would still be in the same situation Miss Lawler right now he paid rent for two months in an apartment where he was not living when he was not living you threw him
Don’t you get it I did not throw him out I asked him to temporarily leave that’s not when did you invite him back I would invite him back not just answer my question if you let when did you invite him you said I asked him to leave
Temporarily when did you invite him back on what date I told him he could come back when he took some counseling he doesn’t have to do that mad well he doesn’t have to continue the relationship with me that was the circumstances he knew that when he moved
Out that he needed to get some help to continue the relationship so that he can move back in it was not spanking of my son that Pro that started this he has been unstable and yelling screaming accusing me of cheating every other week whole other then you should have gone
Home to your parents earlier Miss La your case is dismissed that’s all Melissa Zina says her daughter Jamie javorski owes for two unpaid loans Jaimie says her mother is conspiring with her ex-husband to ruin her life miss kenis this is your daughter yes it is does she have any siblings yes she
Does how many two a brother and a sister she’s the oldest is she a cute baby gorgeous is she a nice baby yeah very well maned must have been cuz you had two more yeah well you’re not getting along so much anymore and it is your claim that your daughter owes you the
Balance of two loans One loan that you made to her several years ago in order to permit her to open up a business that loan was for $10,000 MH and she’s paid back a substantial part of that loan that’s correct over the course of the
Last three or 4 years you were opening a beauty salon and you were able to do that through the loan from your mom exactly the second loan was for $22,000 and that was more recently and that was to permit her to get an attorney because she was going through a divorce correct
With regard to that $2,000 your daughter says there was never any discussion of a loan that you were ecstatic that she was divorcing the husband and you agreed to help her secure an attorney so that she could that’s not H so that she could successfully conclude the divorce process so let’s
Deal with the first loan when was that miss javorski it would have been in August cuz I bought the business I moved I took Poss August of what year 03 and it was $10,000 yes was there supposed to be interest paid on the loan no well
Tell me how you were going to make this loan with no interest I knew that she had money left over from my grandmother’s estate put your hand down what do you mean left over well my grandmother didn’t take care of things how you’re supposed to and so all of the
Money that was left out of her estate went to the state for her care but there was somehow this money left over that the state didn’t know about um I knew of 10,000 okay go ahead and so I asked my mom if I could borrow the that $10,000
From her cuz I knew it was in the bank sitting there and so that there wouldn’t be interest or anything on on it cuz we already had the money well there would be interest on it if she loaned you $10,000 then she’s losing the interest
On $110,000 for as long as it takes you to pay her back there was never any discussion of it but you do understand that I understand what you’re saying but in my mind it wasn’t I don’t care what was in your mind but I’m telling you is
If your mother takes the money out of the bank then she’s losing interest on it so there is a loss I also don’t understand why she should make this loan to you without interest when you have a brother and a sister why would she just
Let you have it all yourself cuz it was just going to be a loan it was going to be paid back in what period of time there was no set set period of time because when you open a business you never know most businesses fail in the
First five years and so well what happens if your business failed you mean you weren’t going to pay her back the money well no I never intended not to pay her back the money but you just said most businesses fail within the first few years what happens if your business
Failed well if my business business failed I would still have to pay her but it was just to help me out it was my mom helping me out it was family helping family out but you didn’t take that money out of the bank at the last minute
She had decided that she was going to pull it off of a credit card because she was nervous about the state finding out that she still had that money you mean she didn’t think that they would find out about it if she kept it in the
Bank go ahead keep going keep going I’m listening to the story so she wanted to take it off of her credit card rather than take it out of the bank cuz she was afraid that the state would find out well she was worried they would find out
And then she wouldn’t have the money sitting there keep going no that’s really what happened keep going and so at the last minute she decided to pull it with zero interest and either way it wouldn’t matter there was Zero interest for how long forever um I don’t know
What do you mean you don’t know you’re in business you don’t have zero interest forever maybe for a year or two but not forever I never saw any of the credit card information I have no idea to tell you the truth well let’s understand this you knew at the time that you accepted
This loan that it was is coming off of a credit card is that right Miss javorski at the last minute yes I don’t care if it’s the last minute or the last second you always could say no I know but I’d already give listen to me you always
Could say no mhm and then if I had who cares what happens if you had if you had to go to work on somebody else’s Beauty paror now there was Zero interest and as a business person you know that zero interest isn’t forever it’s for a fixed
Period of time which was for how long 2 years that brings us up to 2005 as of August 2005 how much money did you give her I I haven’t split it out these are just the statements that I have until then add that up I don’t do that
Meth wasn’t my strong suit me either you either then you shouldn’t be in business but if you didn’t pay her back in the twoyear period of time when there was Zero interest on the credit card you owe her whatever the interest is and of discussion now how much is on the credit
Card on the not with the $2,000 for the lawyer I’m not dealing with that yet well it was all on one credit card and the balance due on it when she stopped making the payment was $4,995 show me ma’am before you R can I say something else well this is not the last
One that’s after I’ve made a payment but can I see that bird please I’ve made like the last six or seven payments on it now you wanted to say something Miss javorski I do because the interest situation um she had said when we put it on that credit card that
If the interest came due that she would either take the money out of the estate and put it back on there so I would never the agreement was never any interest it really wasn’t listen to me you knew at the time she was taking out an interest free loan for two years in
Order to cover this loan that she was making for you you had two years to pay her back you didn’t then interest develops and whether she takes the money out of the bank and lose his interest you still have to pay now tell me about the $2,000 for the lawyer when we were
Going through the divor or when christas when was that that would have been in 200 I believe five now by 2005 we were starting to get some interest on this loan okay keep going okay well so then we’re going through our divorce and I didn’t have the money to retain a lawyer
At first we were just going to do it ourselves and I was telling her that he was going to try to get custody of the children from me and that I needed to retain a lawyer and what I don’t understand is she hated just don’t tell me anything other than what happened not
What you don’t understand not what you do understand understand not interested in what you understood tell me what happened now you were crying to your mother that your ex-husband was going to try to get custody of the children and you couldn’t afford a lawyer you didn’t have any money basically and she said
Not too worry about it that she would take care of it and she sent me two checks from where from her credit card and and she wasn’t worried about me paying her back I didn’t know how I was going to end up financially after the divorce how did you end up financially
After the divorce I ended up giving him basically everything thing I got $20,000 Equity out of the house of which I gave her a check for $4,000 you did give her a big check mhm so if you got $2,000 from the sale of the house why didn’t
She pay her back everything that you owed her because I was buying another house and I was trying to have a little nest egg in case when you’re employed by yourself it’s always good to have a little money back up well but if the only Nest Egg your mother had was the
$10,000 she had of your grandmother’s money why should you have a nest EG and not her um I don’t know I really thought about that way but isn’t that a nice way to think about it Miss javorski I mean how old are you I’m 37 and how old is
Your mother my mom is must be 57 yesterday so if somebody has to sort of struggle to put together a nest egg isn’t it easier for you who’s starting a new business to put together a nest egg than your mother who’s 57 especially since you spent the money so it’s real
Nice of you to want to have a nest egg all by yourself but if what you’re suggesting is that your mother said well if you don’t pay the note back in the two years that it’s interest free you’ll take the money out of your nest
No that wasn’t the way it is I think well that’s what you just told me I’m just following what you told me I think you’re misinterpreting it no that’s what you told me no it’s not does that sound what you just told me sounds like what
She told you that she would take the money out of her nest egg and pay off the credit card and wait for you to finish putting your nest egg together so you would pay her duh if you have a business and you don’t have operating capital and you don’t have money to buy
And bring things in and out you can’t run a business and so that’s what I used the other part of that money for was my that’s not what you just it is I had it that’s not what you just told me I had it set aside so if something happened
With the business that I could keep it going that’s your nest IG well I had to because if I you ow your mother $4,000 if I lose the shop you owe your mother $4,000 and I gather that the reason she’s here is because you stopped paying her according to your mother because you
Had an a strange relationship for a while why I don’t know because she see my ex-husband well that’s what you say that’s what you say that’s not true I’m seeing my grandchildren that’s what you say I think that that makes it very convenient for you miss javorski because
She wasn’t seeing her grandchildren and she wrote a letter according to her correct to her grandson when he was at his father’s house and his father called her and said if you want to see the boys you can see them and she’s been seeing them at your ex-husband’s house which
Ticked you off um so you stopped paying the loan judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $4,000 Stacy Crawford says her boyfriend’s friend Scott Endicott threw gasoline onto a campfire causing her to be severely burned Scott claims Stacy is partly to blame Miss Crawford it’s your claim that Mr Endicott is responsible
For you being severely burned you want him to pay your medical bills that weren’t covered by insurance and in addition a some for the pain and suffering that you endured as a result of these Burns Mr Endicott says that you were burned as a result of your own
Drunkenness so tell me when this happened uh August 17th night of August 17th uh was laying next to uh we’re camping who was camping uh me Mr indicot my boyfriend Jeff his 13-year-old daughter I me there was a group of us and other other children when had you
Gone camping uh I had gone August 17th Friday when had you gone camping Mr Endicott I got there I got there the same day and this was a pre-plan and weekend overnight is that right yeah did you know each other before I had been introduced but to him for my boyfriend
One other time you two were friends yes okay so tell me what happened uh the day was great we were four-wheeling in the sand the night started rolling on everybody was settling down by the campfire there was some some drinking and uh I was only there for the night so
I didn’t have a camping chair so I laid down near the fire to uh feel the warmth and everything and then all of a sudden I went up in Flames did you witness what happened yes stand up Sir tell me your name Jeffrey Ain tell me what you observed on the 17th Miss
Crawford had fallen asleep around the fire yes we were were you on a blanket no I wasn’t sleeping I was just laying there uh we were just everybody was around the fire how many people were around the fire I would say approximately there had to been a good
10 people did you know most of them yes I knew all of them who had made the fire uh all of us together all the guys went out to the uh out onto the beach and we towed back Driftwood when you say all the guys how many guys were there I
Would say there’s probably a good five or six of us that went out there and gathered wood including Mr Endicott yes and how long had the fire been burning I would say it probably been going about 6 hours at least so it was late at night yes it was approximately about midnight
I would say roughly yeah the DFT that we put on there that the N can tell you is that it was wet going to have your turn go ahead sir so we were all just hanging out by the fire talking and uh I didn’t actually see Scott throw the gas on the
Fire but what I seen was a huge flame and her burst into flames after you burst into flames what happened uh I started rolling Jeff and a couple of the other guys all kind of jumped on me pounced out the the fire threw sand on
Me uh they all picked me up at that point took me uh to the hospital there in town the ER at that point I was in shock uh my skin was sloughing off my my legs I had pictures of that I don’t recall a whole lot after next 24
Hours when did you speak to Mr indicot I actually didn’t speak to Mr indicot until Wednesday he came over to my parents house and what day of the week was this that’s Friday night so Wednesday you spoke to Mr roton did he call you no you called him no we were
Going through Jeff at that point you spoke to him yes so tell me about the conversation did you call him or did he call you I see him face to face and tell me about the conversation I had asked him if he was going to go to the
Hospital and see her because she was burned and he told me he didn’t think it was his fault so that he wasn’t going to go there he was going home did he offer an explanation to you yes he was throwing fire he was throwing fuel on
The fire to get it going better and he said to you see her yes is that what you said to him yes now you can sit down now I’ll see the Pictures you’re a nurse CNA going to school to be a nurse so you were not able to work because of the open wounds correct right I work in a hospital okay all right Mr ricot you certainly have seen these photographs nope okay sir let’s start on the 17th when I
Got there there’s a small campfire and everybody was doing their drinking and stuff and I was going back and forth from that campground to another campground when were you going back and forth between the two campgrounds just through the course of the night cuz I got there around 7:00 and from 7: to
About 10:00 I was going back and forth cuz I had family in another campground and around 10:00 I came back out there and that’s when everybody decided to I decided to stayed out there at 10:00 yeah around 10:00 I believe and me and Jeff and some other people went out and
Got some more firewood and we brought it back and the fire was damp and so we had it all stacked up on there and through the course of the evening the fire had hadn’t really started on that wood and another friend asked if we could pour
Some gas on the fire and when I went and got the can another friend was going to pour it out of a cup and I just told him i’ pour it out of a can and so somebody was going to pour it out of a cup yeah
What would be the reason for pouring it out of a cup instead of using a can I don’t know it just well try to think that’s just the way he wanted to do it I would it no difference don’t pick your hand up I don’t need anything from you yet I
Mean there there wouldn’t be any difference important to have cup out the can I mean the results probably would have been the same no what I’m saying to you is if you’re using a cup would just I I’m not a campfire girl myself you may not have known that but
Those people who know me know I believe in sleeping in a bed with running Plumbing so but it would just seem to me that if you used a cup to pour liquid as you could sort of gauge how much you actually using as opposed to using a can
Where you just go out the can came out of a can of a hold that big I understand that sir so so you decided to use the can yeah okay and then what did you do when I was walking over pour the gas on the fire everybody that was awakened by
The fire all moved away from the fire so I thought it was safe to pour gas on the fire she was on the other side of the fire and the wood was stacked up pretty high wearing dark clothes and nobody could see her no not nobody I couldn’t see her so whose fault
Is that I think it’s both of our fault because don’t tell me why you think it’s both of your faults let us say that I believe you when you say she was cuz I read your answer that she was probably sleeping because she had had too much to
Drink let’s say I buy that 100% explain to me why that’s not your fault it is my fault for her getting burnt but I don’t feel I don’t feel financially responsible for her well why if if it’s your fault for her getting burned why aren’t you financially
Responsible Mr why isn’t she why isn’t she responsible for her own actions what are her actions that caused her to get burnt uh being inebriated you yeah so were you so was everybody else that was there they had been drinking all night you had been drinking in between two
Campgrounds you were all drinking how just the fact that she was drinking sleeping make it her fault don’t you get that it’s your fault let me give you an example Mr Endicott of the lunacy of your position okay sir pay careful attention to me let’s say you’re drunk and you get
Behind the wheel of a car just like you pick up a can of gas while you’re drunk and you’re driving along and you hit somebody who is sitting in their car in a No Parking Zone they’re sitting in their car not moving you’re drunk in your car you plow right into them you
Think it’s an argument in your defense that they’re sitting in a No Parking Zone not in that situation but what if of course not what if of course not because the fact sir that they are sitting in a No Parking Zone has absolutely nothing to do with the fact
That you recklessly got behind a wheel of a car while drunk and drove that car into the parked car similarly Mr Endicott the fact that you did not secure the area by walking around the perimeter of the fire to make sure nobody was there before you poured
Gasoline on it is your fault not her fault that the wood was piled too high so that you couldn’t see over it or it was dark or that she chose to wear dark clothing when she was sleeping at the fire so you couldn’t see her if you had
Walked around the fire you would have seen her right yeah you didn’t whose fault is that I guess it’s mine ah now we’re getting closer to it if it’s your fault that she got burned because you were negligent and care you’re responsible do you understand that just say yes
Ma’am perfect judgment for the plaintiff the amount to $5,000 that’s all step out Roselle rotta says ex-boy friend Jim leech owes for a loan to buy a car Mr rata it is your claim that you gave Mr leash $4,500 so that he could go out and Scout
Around for her birthday yes Mr leech acknowledges that you gave him $4,500 but he says it was the return of a loan this was your boyfriend for a period of time for 3 years so Mr leech I’m going to start with you sir when did you make
Mr Ruta alone the exact date was uh July of 2006 and what was the loan for sir uh unforeseen expenses household expenses and also uh she had a very tight budget in terms of purchasing this car so I was helping out with that purchasing which car car she was looking for her daughter
For tell me how these loans came about Mr leech uh I what do you mean sir am I saying something confusing to you is English your primary language yes it is actually uh I was I just had to think for a moment because uh because you didn’t expect me to start with you
That’s why you had to think for a moment because you didn’t expect me to start with you well you’re defens is that the money she gave you was a return of a loan so M tell me about the loan okay she was telling me she was struggling in terms of meaning expenses household
Expenses and also at the same time in terms of what she was trying to do in purchasing this car was there was a lot of expenses that came up so it was very difficult for it in order to meet those come up with a figure Mr leech um I’m
Excuse me yeah how did she come up how did you come up with a figure about how much money you were going to loan her um because it was about the about how much it would cost to buy a car I figured how much you know from what I knew about
Though it was going to be very difficult to find a car for that amount of money but you know we’re g to try to so you gave her the money to buy this car that she wanted to buy for her daughter is that what you’re telling
Me that’s not what you say in your answer but let’s say you sort of forgot what you’re wrting your answer so you lent her the money to buy this car and you were supposed to look for the car because that’s your sort of strong suit because you buy cars at auctions I have
A friend who owns a dealership and I thought that we could help her find a car through him so then why would you give her the money to give the money back to you it was her car she would have to write the check for the car
She’d be necessarily sir you could have written the check out of your account how did you know it was going to be $4,000 I didn’t I just was it was an estimate how much it was going to cost the proof show me show me the proof I’m GL to see your
Proof show me a bank statement sir I don’t have a bank statement with me I have a canceled check showing the amount of money withdrawn where’s your bank statement showing that this money came out of your account I do a copy of the canceled check the front and the back
Show me the bank statement you were supposed to bring bank statements sir sorry I don’t have a bank statement with me that’s too bad you have a bank statement to show me yes give that back to him please thank you very this transaction which he’s speaking of in um
May of 2006 because he does have an auction and I’m a single mother and he knew I was struggling he did not want me to take a part-time job so he offered to help me with my finan is that we go in on a car together at auction and we did
I put $4,000 in he put 2,000 he did all the leg work he went to auction he sold the car and for me loaning him the money I made a $200 profit which was good for me worked for him and I do have all the statements for that transaction the
Cancel checks she’s showing you is the payment of the $4,000 I originally gave him in May so that was a totally separate transaction and I do have bank statements showing it came out of my account show me the money that you gave him okay I’m talking about the money for
Your daughter’s car oh okay as far as I’m concerned Mr Lee has been totally unsuccessful in persuading me that he made a loan to you okay that’s what you have right there is for the transaction in October and you can see there’s a cancel money order that went into his
Bank account the my bank mhm that was in October correct does this look familiar to you sir this is a bank statement I know what a bank statement looks like let me ask you can I ask you a question question can you ask me a question yes
Can I I don’t know answers all I know is proof I know what proof is okay canc check is not enough evidence to support sir anybody can prepare a copy of a canceled check okay what about the checks I wrote to her with show me the
Checks you have a copies with her with her endorsement these are copies sir I’m looking for a bank statement showing me that money actually came out of an account ask can you ask her if she she no okay I think you’re a hustler she gave you this for $4,500 money went into
Your account $4,500 mhm what did you do with before that money came out of my account and I think she will admit that that I wrote those checks to her she she endorsed it she just explained to me that there was some sort of an arrangement with a
Second car did you buy another car at auction yeah there’s another trans and I have and she’s made that claim before and I actually have evidence of support otherwise that that’s not true what she’s what she’s telling you show me okay well here I have something Miss rot in
June of 2006 made out to cash it says for Rosie who endorsed this I did WR notis so you cashed it you endorsed it and you wrote on for Rosie no I I wrote on Rosie and then I and then I endorsed it afterward and what did you do with
The money they gave them money to her did he give you money in June No in fact I have a bank account statement of the first transaction that I took out $4,000 in May and that he paid me back the $4,000 with those checks that you see a
Copy of okay so you gave him the $4,500 when October 4th 2006 my daughter coming up to an anniversary would you mind telling me what took you so long I originally started suing him in December at the end of December I took him to a small claims court and what happened he
Did not show up he claimed he did not receive the notice so he attained an attorney he had the attorney file to set a new court date so that was successful and that’s what led us to here Mr Ricarda I’m satisfied that you gave him $4,500 I am now also satisfied that you
Vigorously pursued the return of your $4500 two months after you gave him the $4,500 I mean I don’t understand why he took your money and didn’t purchase this car is there any reason did you break up with him shortly afterwards yes he felt um the day that he came to my house
Which was December 1st two days before my daughter’s birthday because I did want it for my daughter’s 16th birthday and even though we had broken up earlier in August we still remained friendly and we’d see each other now and then I felt that he felt we were still going to stay
Together and December 1st he was at your house and December 1st he came to my house I said since you don’t have the in time for my daughter’s birthday I would like the money back and I asked him if he still had the money and he basically
In turn said I called him a liar and a thief and he felt disrespected and he was hurt he was hurt because that ended the relationship at that point was the last time can I add something to that yes absolutely all right because that’s not that’s not what happened Ashley at
That time that night question Ashley uh she accused me of stealing money which I had not done she was under the influence of prescription nonprescription medication and and uh she had a lot of issues U depression and she was taking it out of me I mean I can add a lot more
Insight but you know it’s a personal issues that you know that I don’t have to go into personal issu all I have to know is in my own gut is whether or not I believe based upon the proof that’s been shown to me today whether or not
She gave you $4,500 to go and look for a car for her daughter and whether or not because the relationship was over you failed to return the $4,500 she has proof that she took $4,500 out of her bank she has proof that that $4,500 found its way within a couple of days to
Your bank you say it was the return of a loan I am not satisfied that there was any loan that you made to her because you gave me some convoluted story that quite frankly even you couldn’t follow if you were sitting here so I am satisfied that you did in fact take this
Money in the quest to buy this young lady a car and you didn’t return it judgment for the plaintiff in the amount of $4,500 thank you Harry and Greg Martin are suing their former friend Darren trenero for the return of money from an insurance settlement Darren
Claims the money is his Mr Mrs Martin you purchased an automobile from the defendant who was a friend of yours and according to you the agreement was you would make payments on this car because I don’t know did you have a loan outstanding on the car yes sir and at
The end of when the loan was satisfied he would turn the title over to you you maintained the car you paid insurance on the car and then the car was in an accident that’s correct according to you the defendant told you that he received a small check for the accident but you
Were also injured in that accident yes and when you received your settlement you ascertained that he had received thousands of dollars for the car that’s correct and you feel as if that money should be yours Mr trenero says he doesn’t think so so I need some information when did you purchase this
Car Mr chinero um back in ‘ 04 and I do have a copy of that document i’ like to see it please there you go you purchased this car September 14th 2004 yes ma’am and you paid $6,500 yes ma’am when did you purchase the car from Mr trenero in March 2005
When in March March 3rd so Mr trenero you had the car for five months yes ma’am how much were the payments $ 24909 and I have to add in your down payment which was $1,500 so your entire investment in this car Mr trenero was $2,745 yes it sounds correct now you
Took over these payments in March of 2005 that’s correct and when was the car totaled November 13th 2006 and you were paying $ 24909 that’s correct okay so let’s figure that out you see where I’m going Mr trenero yes ma’am so they invested in the car
$522 now how much of a check did you get for the car sir when the car was totaled uh the value of the car check was $44,900 which I have a copy of here let me see it here you go your honor sh just a minute
$454 where’ you get this for that was for the the balance of the car that was worth cuz I was a lean holder on the car the owner of the car after why should you get all this money because during the agreement um back on 03 of 04 um
There were many stipulations to the contract such as carrying insurance on the vehicle um also notify me of any address changes that they had or anything oh stop it you’re being a big baby and your nitpicking Mr trenero Mr trenero let me ask you this question sir
If they finished paying off the car in 3 months and it hadn’t been in an accident would they have gotten the title not if they would not have carried full coverage insurance what difference would it have made because I accepted liability just a second Mr trer did you pay for
The insurance yes I did I carried it till 2006 which was not part of just a second you paid for the insurance right until when uh from the beginning of the contract until uh 33 of 06 33 of 06 the call was in an accident in November of
06 right I had coverage on the vehicle at the time you just told me that you had coverage in the vehicle until March of 06 right 33 of 06 was my well that three March would be the third month of the year sir the happened in November
Right your honor we at the first 6 months that we had the car that we were paying him an additional $50 a month to keep us on his policy can I see that please well this here is just the copies of the I just want to see any checks
That are above I’m speaking the 24909 okay we H our May reject something there please listen Mr chinero you’re a hustler and you did the wrong thing and what you’re supposed to do since you got your finger caught in this miserable pot you’re supposed to say you know what
Let’s see if we can find some median I shouldn’t get a windfall over and above what I paid for a 10-year-old car right hey pay attention I shouldn’t get a winfall because a car doesn’t appreciate in value a car loses value right so you put in
$2,700 you got twice as much as you put in and you’re not entitled to it you’re here in a court of equity sir right and if you only put in $2,700 unless this car was a mint Ferrari you’re not entitled to make money on it do I make myself clear right
I’m not trying to make money on you are trying to make money on it cuz your whole investment was 2745 I believe I assume liability for this vehicle and I lost something because of that and I well you hey Mr trero you think wrong okay you may have
Rationalized your bad behavior and your dishonesty with these people in your own mind because you lay there and you said well now they sent me a check cuz I’m on the title to the car how do I justify not giving them at least some of this
Money well let me see they let Homer drive the car twice and they weren’t supposed to do that they were supposed to keep the car in insurance and not take it out of the state and I know they went on vacation once and they took the
The car hey I’m speaking that’s what you did you laid in bed and try to figure out how you could justify being dishonest and that doesn’t fly here you don’t justify being dishonest when you com into a court of equity Mr trenero it’s dishonest and it was the wrong
Thing to do what you should have done is said listen we got this money you invested 5229 in the car I invested 27.45 the whole idea was for me to get off the hook paying for the car cuz I didn’t want this car anymore after 5
Months you did because if I Hey listen that correct if you didn’t want to sell it to them you wouldn’t have sold it to them did you get another car Mr trenero I had another car before I sold it to them and I had no use for us and Greg
Had no car being a friend of his I felt that it would be an equable thing to do that but he did not fulfill his end of the bargain in the contract which I thought was legal you purchased hey I thought this was a legal contract and it
Was violated many times then what you have to do if it was violated many times is take the car back exactly and we and we did try to do that several times did not do we took many actions to do that no I didn’t say did you take many
Actions Mr trenero did you take the car back we could not locate them oh you’re so full of baloney sir you could locate them when you got the check that you managed to locate them when they got the very very bad sir I don’t know how you
Sleep with yourself at night I wouldn’t want you to be my friend I don’t see where he’s entitled to any amount of the check from the insurance company that mailed him that check he’s not okay if he had been what we call a mench that means a good person a good honorable
Person you probably would have sat there and said listen you got a little extra money I’m going to get a little extra money cuz I put in $5,200 but I drove the car car I mean you don’t expect to get 100% value on your car if something
Happens you might have made some kind of an accommodation but since he was a pig he loses everything judging for the plaintiff and the amount requested 4274 that’s all Diane Dennis is suing her daughter Christy Dennis for fraudulently using her home as collateral on a bail
Bond Christy claims she paid her back Mr Dennis this is your daughter yes according to your complaint your daughter has had a difficult adulthood she has some children that you are caring for because she had a drug problem for a while and was unable to care for the children and I assume that
You’re doing okay now yes you look fine thank you sometime during that period of time she gave you the home that she had and you and the children live in that home yes you subsequently found out that she had used that home while it was still in her name as collateral for bail
For her boyfriend right the boyfriend skipped out the bail was up to several thousand there was a lean on the house for that amount of money and you want her to pay you back for that that’s correct is there a mortgage on the house yeah how
Much did you pay for it 115,000 when did you buy it um it would be like 9 96 or 97 99 oh 99 what’s the house now worth 150,000 so it is appreciated in value yes and when did she give it to you in um September of 03 and are you paying
The mortgage on the house now yes I am did did you put any money down on the house no I didn’t so the house is now worth approximately $35,000 more than when you purchased it and you put in zero money well I put some upgrades in the home but I didn’t
That has nothing to do with you put in zero money that’s right to purchase it right and between 1999 and 2003 you paid the mortgage yeah you did not pay the mortgage well I did it went into foreclosure three times during that time it was because of non-payment so the first time was
$1,800 uh that was in 01 she came to me and said I’m in big trouble okay that was ,800 and 10 a year later in 1,200 and I paid that and then I moved in with her she was having trouble paying her bills and everything and the 2003 it
Went into foreclosure for the third time for non-payment but you were living with her at the time yes and I was giving her my half of the house payment to pay but she was not paying the house payment so then we owed $2,425 and I said well if you want me to
Pay it this time it’s no your house and that was in September of 2003 yes and when did you actually turn the house over to your mother September of 2003 and when did you use the House’s collateral for bail for your boyfriend in um June of 2004 well how could you
Use the House’s collateral well it was still in my name well how could it be in your name if you turned it over to your mother when did you she kept it in my name she can’t do that why did you did is we did a quick claim deed and we
Notorized it and everything but I did not record it at the county recorder’s office why because I was not anxious to take her house and she said that she was going to pay me back and so I put on the letter of explanation on the quick claim
Deed I gave her a little bit of time to do that and said if she did it by a certain date Denis she never did it Diane Dennis says her daughter Christy Dennis owes for a bail lean on her home miss Dennis if you had recorded the deed
Which you I assume ultimately did yes I did then she couldn’t have used the house as collateral that’s right that was my mistake definitely it was your mistake but you’re really not out any money because you have a home in which you put in no money and you have equity
In the house of over $35,000 yes and I’ve helped her a lot I the only thing I’m we’re not talking about you’re helping her and I assume that when she gave you this house and if there was an increased Equity of $35,000 nobody paid any Federal gift tax on the
House well it hasn’t been sold doesn’t have to be sold she gave you a gift and if the gift is an excess of $10,000 you have to pay a gift tax on that Miss Dennis well she was going into foreclosure it was either going to go to
The bank or to me you’re making excuses you know exactly what I’m saying to you what I’m saying to you is you now have a home in which at most you put in $4,000 if you paid the back mortgage pay no that was over $6,000 three times I have
18 and 22 and then 24 25 the last time that was the you wereing just a second you were living there and giving her the payment you were living there I don’t believe that you were giving her the payment m Dennis was I giving Mr Dennis
I don’t believe you were giving her the payment with her history of not paying the mortgage it doesn’t sound right to me that if you’re living there cuz your daughter’s on drugs that you would turn over your half of the mortgage payment to her so that she would pay the
Mortgage Miss Dennis it doesn’t make sense and if it doesn’t make sense it’s not true okay so well I thought she wasn’t paying the payment because she didn’t have the money she went through a hard time she lost her partner I don’t believe you that you were giving her the
Money I don’t believe that you were living in the house with her to take care of your grandchildren because she was going through a difficult time according to you on drugs and you were handing her over money I don’t believe it yeah well well I don’t believe after
That after believe it okay after she signed the quick claim D the only thing that changed is that I was now making the payment Miss Dennis you have a house in which you have now $35,000 in equity for which you paid nothing your honor I upgraded the downstairs good for now at
The time I took the quick claim de she had about $110,000 worth of equity this has been since 2003 that she signed it over to me 2004 she used it as collateral to get her boyfriend out of jail now only couldn’t have done that my
Dear if you had if you had taken the de it still changes hands the only thing is it doesn’t give notice as far as I gave constructive notice because I’m living in the house don’t tell me about constructive notice you did not give constructive notice to the bail bondsman
Because if you did then the bail bondsman would not have I found out that about you think if you you think if you talk more than me you’re wrong on the law Miss Dennis of course but I of course you’re wrong on the law and if
You come to a court somebody’s going to say to you you’re wrong on the law a certain amount of sympathy because if you were out money I would say you know I have I have sympathy well that’s not what this is about we’re here on one particular issue and the one issue that
We’re here to address is whether or not you are entitled to the money that you had to repay to take a lean off your house and I’m saying to you that it wasn’t your house and you record it because that’s what the law requires that you record a deed so that the rest
Of the world knows that this is your property the law does not require that with regard to personal property the lock it around your neck the shirt that you’re wearing but the law requires that with regard to land right you chose for whatever reason not to do that she was
Absolutely entitled therefore during that period of time to use her house as collateral now if you’re looking for a sympathy Factor there is none because according to you the equity that she had built up until 2003 was $10,000 now the equity is $35,000 so sympathetically it’s here
Only morally it’s here okay I paid over $6,000 just to get it out of foreclosure when she was non-paying okay I put in improvements that was way over the bye Miss Denis you’re not getting anywhere case is dismissed George Heath claims neighbor 17 18-year-old Maris Peppers falsely accused him of being a pedophile
And then assaulted him Mr Heath this Coleman is your neighbor and this is her son affirmative H affirmative you are 17 yes ma’am but large for your age yes and it is your claim that Miss Coleman’s son assaulted you assault in bettery ma’am depends on where you live and you want to be
Compensated and Miss Coleman and her son say that you started it and he just finished it so your first name Maris how long have you and Mr Heath been neighbors I don’t know how long he’s lived there but I lived there for 2 years how long have you been there Mr
Heath since May of 2006 so a little less than a year affirmative a year have you gotten along for that year that you’ve been living there up until recently what happened recently Mr Heath on uh April 25th of 2007 I was uh outside my door Mr
Peppers was also uh outside his door he um was uh calling me a pedophile he was saying I should never never never say the name of his little sister I admit I may have started behavior that was more of an interest to a proctologist but I don’t know what you
Mean by that sir I was uh upset that uh being called a pedophile after uh 30 years of being a registered nurse here in California so he was calling you names and told you never to mention in the name of his sister what did you say to him well he challenged his
Authority uh by claiming that if I said in the name of his sister one more time that he would beat me down being that I was very upset because of the general rumor within the neighborhood of me being a pedophile uh I did say her name her name
Is Sanji and then what happened I repeated it uh a few times as he came closer you were grownup yes I was an angry grown up you’re an angry grown-up yes and he had called you a vile name quite quite especially when I have no record anywhere I understand you have no
Record anywhere okay got it so you were taunting him and what did he do he uh pushed me and then you know how did he push you Mr he I do believe uh I I will take his uh word for it that he belly bumped me okay I turned to uh catch
Myself and I was struck on the back I cannot say exactly if was him or his uh friend LJ but I did sustain an injury to my back he was right next to him shoulder-to-shoulder so they both came over to you after you had repeated his sister’s name several times affirmative
And he belly bumped you when you turned around somebody hit you in the back yes well turning around in that I was trying to catch myself uh as I was falling and as a result of that were you injured yes I have a report from a chiropractor that
I have uh injuries from T6 that’s thoracic spine vertebrae 6 to7 these uh were significant enough uh for me not to be able to work for two months which I have documentation uh from my uh employer of such all right Mr pep let me hear you sir yes ma’am on the day of
That incident the day before we had got into like two days before we got into an argument he was about what uh we were I was sitting outside cuz my friend stayed next door to him and I was sitting outside talking to them and then my
Sister to my friends that stay next door to him and so I’m sitting outside and then my mom calls me and she sent my sister to come get me and my sister comes and she says Maris your mom mom wants you and then so he reaches over
And she’s in between these stairs he reaches over and Pats her on the head and I say man don’t touch my sister why not because like I don’t know what it is but ever since he’s moved there I’ve been like you know real uncomfortable around him and he’s like he acts real
You know friendly stuff towards kids like you know little girls and I just with my sister I keep you know I’m overprotective about my sister and so but he just touched her on the top of the head I know but it was like the way
How he did it like you know he rubbed his hand through her hair and like you know and I I didn’t like the way it happened but I wasn’t disrespectful to him I just said can you don’t F you said don’t touch my sister that’s all you
Said to him yeah but as I said that my mom walked out and I told her what happened and then so they got into an argument did you get into an argument Miss Coleman with him as I walked out out um I heard George yelling at my son
And all I heard was the end of the conversation and I asked him what did you hear um he was calling my son ignorant and um a pervert for saying what he said or whatever well did you say anything to him I said don’t touch my sister’s head and he called me a
Pervert because he said that I was looking at him as that like I don’t know why he said it but he just called me a pervert because I told him not to touch my sister and then that’s when I came out and I heard them arguing and my son
Said um George touched Sanji and that’s when I went to tell him he doesn’t have to put his hands on her to not touch her did your son tell you how he touched her no he but what the thing well why didn’t you get that information Miss Coleman I
Did when I came over he said Sanji he touched Sanji on the head and right then when he said she said he touched Sanji I just verbally told him you know to keep his hands off my daughter and I asked my children to come into our yard okay so
That was a couple of days before yes ma’am and then what happened Mr pepper and then the day of the incident we were outside you know we play play basketball and all of that outside and George comes out and was playing the guitar to the
Little girl in the window and I was just sitting there playing a guitar yeah playing a guitar and singing to her but he’s sitting there playing a guitar to her and that’s not my relative or anything so I didn’t I didn’t say anything about that and somehow he got
Into an argument with other kids that was on the Block and so they were arguing and somehow they said to him something about Oh You Touch kids and stuff and he was like yeah I touch a lot of kids and he started naming off kids on the street like girls and stuff that
He’s touched and he he somehow said sanji’s name my sister and then so that was when I got into the conversation and I asked him I said man don’t don’t touch talk you call him a pedophile no I’ve never called him a pedophile did you call him a pervert no I’ve never called
Him a pervert what did you call him I didn’t call him anything I just said do not touch my sister okay and what did he say to you and he got into an argument with me calling me a pervert and that I’m immature and stuff because I’m uh
Calling him out out on stuff and I’m like you know I didn’t say anything all I said was don’t touch my sister and then so we sitting here we’re were arguing and I stepped back and I my friend was with me also and he was talking to him he was like there’s no
Need for you to say her name and I pulled him back and George says it again he was like oh what do you mean sji and I was like don’t say her name and then so he takes off his glasses and he untuck his shirt and he steps up to me
And he says what do you mean Sanji Sanji Sanji and so I had chest bumped him and he you know he like he was like a stumble type and he just stumbled back and like hit the wall and purposely fell to the ground and he made a lot of like
Weird nois and stuff that you know it could tell that it was being act but and like some kids was laughing at him and stuff because he was acting it out and his wife said I’m calling the police and then so I looked at him and then I
Turned around and my sister was calling me so I turned around picked up my sister and then I told my friend I was like let’s go and then we walked to his house Mr pepper yes ma’am what facts do you have that suggests to you that Mr Keith’s intentions with regard to the
Kids who play in the neighborhood either singing to them or patting your sister on the head is anything other than just genuine caring for children it’s because of the way that he does it it’s like he it’s like it’s real weird you know I don’t feel comfortable around him and
For that I don’t I don’t feel like my sister should be around him I’ve never been disrespectful to him or anything you assaulted him sir no ma’am but yes you did you assaulted him sir he was taunting you which was not very smart of a grown-up man to do yes ma’am not very
Smart to a big 17-year-old you know who certainly outweighs him and certainly outm muscles him but you have no right to put your body on him in any way you should have been smarter sir yes ma’am I uh but I had to confront the LIE Mr
Heath have you ever been arrested for a sexual offense on a child no ma’am the next question is irrelevant therefore and you You’ never been convicted is that correct no ma’am you have any children of your own yes ma’am we have four biological children and one foster
Child how old is the foster child she is 32 so you had you raised her affirmative and you four children how old are they uh we have uh a boy uh who’s now uh Sergeant uh George Heath of the 11th armor I mean third armor calary regiment
We have uh twin boys uh Pete and Repeat uh no uh one is staff sergeant Joseph Heath of the 11th armored calal regiment our son other son is specialist David Heath who recently was uh last week was taken out by shrapnel in Baghdad but he’s doing just fine he’ll be in the
United States today and then my daughter Rebecca Heath uh she’s uh 23 uh she’s a certified nurses aid and a senior in health administration have any of these children visited your home yes you live in your home with your wife yes how long have you been married 31 years ma’am Mr
Peppa yes ma’am we are supposed to rejoice in the differences among people in this country that means that not everybody is made the same I know that some people say affirmative rather than yes some people may appear to be to you a little peculiar but that doesn’t make them a
Pervert no ma’am I’ve never that doesn’t make them strange that wouldn’t inspire me to say to somebody who’s the father of four children don’t put your hands on my sister now if you said to me that he hit her in the behind or tapped her in
The butt I would say go over there and you can knock his lights out but what you told me was he patted her on the head and you just didn’t like the way that looked and you went outside and all you heard was your son saying to you he
Touched your daughter and you blew you didn’t listen I think that what you have to do is celebrate the differences amongst people Mr pepper MH you have perfect right to say to your daughter listen I don’t want you to go over neighbor strangers or whatever absolutely no
Business despite the fact that Mr Keith was not smart yes ma’am has no right to go over there and chest bump him belly bump him or whatever other kind of bump him he did his lawsuit asks for $1,700 he’s going to get that you have a counter claim counter claim is that he
Filed false charges against you with child protective services when did he file charges against you with child protective services per the letter it says on 5 52 that there was an investigation and what makes you think that it was Mr Heath who filed those charges okay when we went to court for a
Restraining order that was denied Mr Heath subpoena the SE who went to court for a restraining order George filed a restraining order on me and my son well he should have right your son used Force against was it granted no they were both denied oh that’s ridiculous in my judgment it’s
Ridiculous what grounds do you have to file for an application for a protective order against Mr Heath because when the incident happened my daughter constantly goes over there and it’s like he’s everywhere my daughter is he’s behind her like it’s in a place that he goes across the street that my daughter plays
At he’s never over there never over there but every time my daughter is over there George is over there you know what I’m saying it’s like every it seems like everywhere my daughter is I see George normal plac where he doesn’t go he’s normally in his yard like he comes in my
Yard and uses the water hose he was told by the judge he was told by the police officers that he keeps calling on me to stay away from us we were told to stay away from each other I agreed but he constantly like if my daughter’s in the
Yard I don’t let her out the yard because of the situation I’ll make her stay in the yard and ride the bike Georgia come over open the gate and use the water hose or you know just do stuff to you know to have me try to have confrontation towards us what proof do
You have that Mr Heath called I don’t have proe that proof that he called but for our restraining order he had all the information how does he know that CPS came to my house when we went to court he um filed a subpoena for the CPS worker to come to our restraining order
That’s how I assumed that he called because did you have that information Mr Heath uh the reason I know that Miss Johnson uh is a child protective worker is that she was at uh Miss Coleman’s door and when I saw her and I said I don’t think Miss Coleman’s there uh she
Asked you know who are you I identified myself and where I live and then she identified herself and we went into my apartment and we had a discussion uh concerning uh well actually one of the things she would that we discussed is whether or not I am a pedophile
Obviously I’m here not arrested so she felt there was no basis for the allegation that I’m a p pedop file did you make a call to Child Protective Services sir do I’m uh can I leave that under confidentiality see what I’m saying well yes or no I’ll I’ll answer if you if you
Want me to the point is Mr Heath if you had grounds in your judgment to place a call to Child Protective Services because that’s her counter claim she says that you had no basis she believes you did to call okay that would be a different question would I have if I
Called would I have a basis the answer is yes I would well tell me what basis you had if you had called okay got it I’m sorry I don’t consider that very funny the uh basis I have is that I have uh seen her uh use the most
Unusual type of child rearing um curse words at her daughter I’ve seen her with an open hand strike her daughter in the head also I am quite suspicious that her daughter has some type of minimal uh brain damage uh I’m not sure if it’s Cal policy
Quiet you can’t be quiet you leave do you understand good go ahead I am not sure if it’s cerebal palsy or I’m not sure if it’s attension deficit disorder but I know she has fine motor coordination problems because one of the things I have done with the children is to plant
A garden and when Sanji came up to plant she could not follow my simp instructions would that I could get children half her age to do so uh I I’m just put your hand down go ahead uh I am quite uh concerned I I do know okay so
That would be the basis if you had called if I had called if you had called that would be the reason that you called affirmative go okay as far as me the the allegation was that I call my daughter the b word and I hit her with an open
Fist my daughter is is really I would never I I do not use use that word I don’t like that word I don’t like be called that word cuz my mother called me that and I would never call my children that no matter how angry or what we were
Going through so that’s that’s just that’s just ridiculous and as far as me hitting my daughter with an open fist there’s just no open hand yeah open hand there’s no way I don’t my you can ask my son she doesn’t even get in trouble so I don’t even know your counter claims
Denied you owe Mr Heath ,700 which is what he’s asking for for this assault Mr Heath may be a peculiar man he may not exercised good judgment when he taunted You by repeating your sister’s name it doesn’t give you license to put your hand or your body and you have a big
Body sir on another human being you have no right to do that as I said there is no indication today that Mr Heath is anything other than maybe a slight bit odd I resemble that remark right but that’s it and we celebrate that kind of stuff in this country you
Have an absolute right to say to your daughter I don’t want you to play with with Mr Heath I don’t want you alone with him don’t go to his house but you can’t put your hands on him do you get it yes ma’am judgement for the plaintiff in the amount of $1,700 that’s
All and they step out cashmir Bas says the fiance of his child’s mother Justin helinger punched him out at work Justin is countersuing for child support costs and for false charges made to CPS you’re welcome Mr Biga how old are you sir I’m 28 years old you’re is this your wife
Yes ma’am how long have you been married we’ve been married for roughly 3 years almost four you have children her yes ma’am I have two by my wife you’re honor your complaint says sir that the defendant is the boyfriend of the mother of another of your children is that
Right yes your honor were you married to your wife at the time that this child was conceived yes I was your honor how old is the child that you have with what’s your name Selena Selena she just turned to your honor and this is your complaint Mr bigor your complaint is
That the defendant assaulted you yes and in addition you claimed that you made a small loan to him to cover some insurance payment that he needed Mr helinger says that you precipitated this argument and in addition he is counter claiming he alleges that you call Child Protective Services on him on more than
One occasion and in addition he says that he’s been supporting your child correct yes how much child support do you pay Mr Big I pay $36 weekly court ordered do you pay it every week yes I do ma’am it’s taken directly out of my paycheck your honor and how much is your
Paycheck sir my paycheck um it ranges anywhere from 300 to 600 depending on how many hours I work then why do you only pay $36 a week in child support put your hand down because that’s what the court had ordered because I have two other children and a wife my wife does
Not work so I have why doesn’t your wife work because she stays home and takes care of our um 2-year-old you have another 2-year-old you are very busy sir yes 2 why don’t you work and earn $600 a week all the time is the big because the paper mill doesn’t always have overtime
Some weeks you might work 12 hour day some days you just work eight hours it varies if we have people that call in or yes I worked at the same Paper Mill and over time’s always welcome uh I left that job because of him right now I’m currently climbing trees so for living
Yes he’s I cut trees down I work for Tree Service cut down you said I climb trees I said I didn’t know they make a living doing that so when he uh says that the overtime ain’t there it is always there at that Mill I work there I
Also put in tons of hours Mr Biga it’s outrageous that you only pay $36 a week in child support sir I’m telling you that right now even if you pay it she wants to tell me that you don’t even pay it but if you paid it that’s an
Outrageous figure for you to pay for child support it’s not your child’s fault sir that you didn’t know how to keep your whatever in your pants that’s outrageous what sorry um he he only I only received $26 out of that 36 10 of it goes to the Department
Of Social Services towards the rear yes and the um the rear support is actually medical bills for Mrs karette it for having the baby it’s not rear no no no no no no it’s not medical bills for her sir it’s the birthing expenses for your child because when you make a baby it
Has to be born yes that’s that’s what I put your hand down I don’t know why you still tolerate him yeah I’d be visiting him you know and bringing flowers now I’m ready to hear sir your tale of Woe on the beginning of January 2007 and I had uh recommended Justin
Because he had not had a job for a while to the paper mill that I worked at and they had hired him and um on January 18th I had loaned the defendant $50 to to get his car insured so he could get to and from work two days later I had
Also loaned him another $20 so he would have gas money and at that current time I was out on disability due to my hand I had to have carpal tunnel surgery on hand and during that time things were going good I had come back to work
Roughly the end of February and at the end of February so you weren’t paid for the entire month of February I was paying I had the support reduced and it was Tak I’m all caught up as we speak what’ you have it reduced too how could
They reduce it any lower because it was reduced because I was only bringing home $230 a week due to disability I have proof of what I had loaned him get on to the so far he has $70 sir all right $70 from your $26 a week that you pay in
Child support not 36 10 goes for rear you acknowledge that so you pay $26 a week which is less than $100 a month you want me to translate that by day sir let me translate that $26 a week divided by 7 equals $371 a day that’s what you pay let’s
Move on also when I had returned back to work on February 26th uh Justin hinger had assaulted me several times well I want you to tell me what happened what’s the basis of claim sir let’s hear it pretty much what happened is uh I try to
See my daughter whenever I can and he does not want me to see my daughter and he um tries to control when I can and when I can’t and he told me if I call to have any contact he’d kill me and bury me on the night of January 13th um Mr
Helinger had come down to my part of the plant where he should not have been and started having verbal words with me he told me that he was going to beat me up and I didn’t want to have any time of problem so I went to turn around and
When I turned around he had uh closed his fist and and hit me on the left side of my head 2 cm from my temple and I was uh taken to the hospital by the employers I have uh Hospital statements show I’d like to see those please okay
Now Mr helinger I’d like you to tell me your version of what happened on the 13th please um the bathroom is downstairs in the midd so I was going down to the bathroom there’s two flights stairs I went down one flight he went down the other we intercepted each other
In the middle it’s a about a 10 15t hallway I confronted him about what he was doing to me why he was calling my house at midnight just a second when you say you confronted him what did you say to him I said cashmir why you keep calling my house at midnight harassing
Me and my family when did he call your house at midnight put your hand down it was probably the beginning of January when all this how many times did he call your house at midnight oh several who did he speak to um her or me when I was
There what did he say to you when he called at midnight asked how I was doing and if Justin was being good if I was doing all right and everything was all right between us pretty much wanted to know about my relationship with Justin did you ever tell him not to call your
House at midnight Justin has several times why did you call their house at midnight I personally didn’t my wife did my wife and Selena were good friends and Selena had asked my wife to call so they could just talk about our child and other things they were friends and Mr
Helinger does not like her life so she would ask my wife to call late at night when Justin went to work I’m asking you sir they I personally I have personally never called his house after 10:00 my wife had always done the calling for me because he would not allow me to call
For you he would not allow me to call when your wife’s called did you ever get on the phone uh there’s been a few times when your wife just the answer is either yes or no when your wife placed the call did you ever get on the phone yes that’s
What he’s complaining about do you get it yes I got it good okay so you confronted him about the calls that were coming to your house being made by his wife but then the phone being turned over to the plaintiff yes and what happened next um he got a
Little eye rate got loud with me um no tell me what he sick uh he can do anything he wants to his kid and if he wants to be with Selena he can be with her anytime he wants cuz he can just take her out the bar and do what he
Wants to her and put your hand down um it made me grumpy he’s made you grumpy yes very grumpy probably miles he sland he slandered me through the whole Mill told Mill all my business told the mill a lot of the people I worked with that I
Was beating her and the kid I confronted him about that too he started to come at me and at that time I just pushed through with him and I don’t know if I got hit him in the head or not but I did
Well you did hit him in the head sir I I had an open hand I never closed my hand when I hit him cuz he he has he’s handicapped I would not hit a handicap person okay now I’ll hear you yes your honor um I had made a a report to the
Police he was arrested I have the arrest and there was now you can stand up and I also I have um told people about Justin at the Mill and the reason why I did that is because I fear for my daughter’s um welfare that’s why I keep persisting
He’s a registered two sex offender and it is on the website for everybody to see I fear for my little girl’s life and so I want I’ve been with this little girl for two years my officer said it’s fine I have two children of my own I also get every other weekend being
Around around his daughter is no problem to me I’m not dangerous to anybody what I done in my past was my business in fact yes it is I am registered but it don’t it don’t affect my life at all I have a good job I work around several
Hundred thousand people a day I go to people’s homes your prior conviction involved children uh no it did not it involved the underage girl which I did not know her name or her age I should say how old are you now I am put your hand
Down I am 24 24 and when was this conviction two years ago two years ago when you were 22 yes and how old was the girl 16 got it fine not fine legally but that’s totally different scenario than pedophilia that’s just dumb understood and you have too many children sir at
Age 24 if you have three children yes you too I don’t care how many trees you climb and I don’t care how much Pope you make now you want to say something to me the phone calls that were made to Selena were me returning calls and her
Returning my calls he did not take the phone every time only once in a Grade not listen he took the phone more than once Madam I don’t even have to be there to know that he took the phone more than once right anything else you want to say
Just that the support issue we give them money on the side to above what the court orders we also buy Devina’s clothes de’s diapers her wipes her shoes and when we do send them home show show me receipts right here where I spent at Walmart off of my bank card show
Me um there’s a few there’s Walmart there where we spent 52 to buy clothes diapers wipes food what about for who children for his daughter not for your children um no not at that point no I bought I buy her separately Fon I don’t believe a word of what you sit
Down you think that I believe that you went and spent $500 on his daughter and none of some of it was on his daughter not all now that that’s better I’m sorry my mistake you made a mistake yes I did I’m sorry what also I fear for my child because
Last summer roughly June or July the defendant was also arrested because he um his girlfriend Selena had left him and he rolled his car trying to kill himself on purpose and he had a suicide message left on my machine I didn’t bring that with me today yes the fact
That I tried to kill myself self has nothing to do with his child I was not with him I got help L to me listen to me that’s a legitimate concern I understand it is okay that’s a legitimate concern if you have Suicidal Thoughts that’s one thing if you act out those suicidal
Thoughts and you are around the child that’s a legitimate concern that a parent might have you get it yep now I assume that that formed the basis of at least one of the calls to Child Protective Services no it did not did it yes it did how many times did you call
Child Protective Services three times tell me about the three times the one time was when he rolled his car and Selena the mother of my child was worried so we got together and had called the second time was when he called my house going iate and he
Threatened to kill me and bury me and told me I could not see my child so I was very concerned about the welfare of my daughter and the third time was due to him stalking and and um calling me names and stuff um he had even stooped
Low he had convinced his girlfriend to go to the police and uh report that I had raped her that’s how our daughter was um conceived and the police had come to my house and she was uh filed for making a false report and is under um community service for trying to have me
Arrested is that correct yes it is your honor okay that’s not good that’s not good it I was highly intoxicated than night that me and cashmir um yeah uh conceived my daughter so I don’t remember any of it and it was not a coar thing I went to the police
Department on my own how much after your daughter was born 6 months maybe so you had N9 months and 6 months you had 15 months to think about it I was not yeah yeah okay Mr helinger he was clearly assaulted and you clearly lost your temper so you have to be responsible for
His medical bills yeah what I have a unfounded paper from Social Services January 30th that he called on me where I was unfounded yeah that’s okay he has legitimate concerns about you are you getting any help for yourself yes I am good you seeing somebody regularly yes I
Do put your hand down listen if you think that I find you a sympathetic character I do not you were disloyal to your wife you created a situation that she’s going to have to live with and suffer with her whole life if she decides to stay with you she has two
Children with you I guarantee you the day that you told her that you had another child the same age as your youngest child was not the happiest day of her life so if you think that I believe that you’re a sympathetic character I believe that you are an
Unsympathetic character sir as far as the money that you claim you gave him that hardly makes up for the amount of money he contributes to support your child so he’s going to pay your medical bills which are roughly $500 unfortunately Mr helinger you want to be compensated for supporting his
Child that’s your prerogative if you choose to do that you do that gratuitously that ain’t a big problem to me the harassment and as far as calling some of your behavior sir is questionable and I suggest to you I would continue with the help that you’re getting because you probably need it
What I also have proof that I lost wages I don’t care if you lost wages when make up for it for the $26 a week that you send to support your child with $3.7 a day I’m telling you sir you are an unsympathetic person to me I think that
You would like to have control over this situation that you created were you drunk the night that she got pregnant no I was not was she yes you know how unsympathetic you are the scale of sympathy for me just went to a minus 10 so she was drunk you weren’t you clearly
Then took advantage of somebody that a fair statement yes your honor so he’s going to cover your medical bills period your $500 what a situation you created sir you created this whole situation I know cuz she was drunk how old are you 23 and you 28 good bye sir you get your medical
Bills try to live with each other in peace are exus step out
