<i> This is</i> Couples Court
With The Cutlers. This is the case of
Candelaria v. Blakely. You all have been in
a long-term relationship and you're engaged. But, your
wedding plans
are on hold, because of
allegations of infidelity. Mr. Candelaria,
tell me why this case
has been opened. Okay, Your Honor. Um... Like you said,
we've been together for, uh, three
and a half years, and I love
this woman, uh, she's the mother
of my children, but I cannot
be with her if she is... Doesn't pass this
lie detector test today. I'm not cheating on you. She has been
deceptive to me in... In the past,
uh... But that was
in the past. ...for a long time. I mean... This... I mean,
I'm not doin' it now. ...she's always
on her phone. And then when
I come home... I don't never stay on my phone. She never... Has
anything on her phone. It's all been deleted,
you know. I don't delete it.
If I can't... I see where... If I can't
keep it on it... I see where
she had been calling
her ex-boyfriend. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) CANDELARIA: And then... I come home,
see where she's
been callin' him and ask her,
"What's up with that?" That was a mistake. She's like,
"Oh, it was an accident." I did not mean
to call him. Accidents only happen,
like, you know, once. Not, you know, twice,
every day, you know,
type of thing. If I was talkin' to him,
I would've deleted it. And when I see
her ex-boyfriend, he tells me she's been
tryin'... She's been tryin'
to hook-up with him. So you've got
all these... All these things
goin' on
and you're like, "Okay. I know
she's cheating." This has been
thrown in your face. Yes, Your Honor. How does that
make you feel? It makes me
feel terrible. And I don't wanna
be with somebody who's deceptive
and can't... Can't be honest
with me. I'm not lyin' to you. I mean, honesty is the key to
any relationship. So, I mean... (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) That's why we're here. To find out
if she can be
honest with me. I have been
honest with you. I've had all these... These problems
in the past where
I heard about... I think she's lying
to me and everything and it looks
really deceptive. All right. Ms. Blakely, you have
been vehemently, the whole time
he's been talkin', saying, "It's not me.
I'm not doin' it. "If I wanted to be
with somebody else..." Tell me why you're here. I'm here to prove
to him that, um, I'm not
cheating on him, that I love him. And, I mean, we got
two kids together. I mean, why would
I mess that up? Mr. Candelaria, is... Is this
just paranoia or has she cheated
on you in the past? Yes, Your Honor.
She's cheated on me
in the past. When we first
got together... But, I told you about it. CANDELARIA: I had to
leave for about a month... Hold on, Ms. Blakely. ...when I come back, BLAKELY: You were
treating me like crap. Really? JUDGE DANA:
Hold on, Ms. Blakely. She says
everything's all right,
denies everything. And for two and a half years,
she doesn't... She doesn't tell me
the truth about this
until after we have a child together. That she cheated on me. JUDGE KEITH: Two
and a half years later? CANDELARIA: Two
and a half years later. And the baby's
in there somewhere? Yeah. And our child's
six months old, now,
you know. JUDGE DANA: Oh, my goodness. Two and a half years. CANDELARIA:
Two and a half years. Can you imagine? Wondering... (STAMMERS)
You've been askin'
her did somethin' happen. Right. So, he's asking her... And she's denyin'. ...and she's denyin'
and denyin'. Then he goes away and he's contacting her
and she tells you, "By the way..." And she tells me... This is how she tells me. We had a fight and I leave, and she leaves and then she contacts me
on Facebook and says, "Oh, by the way,
you know, uh, "back two and
a half years ago..." BLAKELY: No.
You asked me... Hold on. CANDELARIA:
..."I messed around
with this guy, "but it was only two times." And that's how
she told you? CANDELARIA:
That's how I found out. That's how you tell him, via Facebook,
two and a half
years later. He wouldn't let me
tell him in person. JUDGE DANA:
(STAMMERING) I don't...
I don't understand it. I... I can't get
my arms around the notion of waiting two
and a half years. And then... And then when
you decide to do it... (TAPPING FINGERS) ...just... You know, I mean... You text...
You know, you text, "Hey, pick me up
some bananas at
the grocery store." You... You text, "Hey, don't
forget my dry cleanin'." You don't text, "By the way, that thing two years ago... I didn't wanna
tell him in a message. "Oh, and by the way,
it was only two times." Only two times.
Okay. It was only
two times, so don't... (STAMMERING) I don't know,
Ms. Blakely. That's rough. It is rough. JUDGE DANA: And this
probably is the foundation of why you have no trust. Right. Because you saw
all those warning signs
back at the time, and she denied it,
and denied it,
and denied it. And then it
turned out
to be true. And now you're
seeing all the same
warning signs again. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Okay. I've seen it several times. All right. Tell us
what you're seeing now that makes you believe
she's cheating. CANDELARIA:
Okay. So, we're at... We're at a
friend's house, right. And, it's kind of
a party goin' on
there that night. And she... She decides
to go upstairs with her friend.
Female friend. Because you was
treating me like crap. Okay. Well, three hours later she comes back downstairs.
Well, uh, I'd come to find out
there was another
dude up there in another room, supposedly. I was not
messin' around
with him. I was up there
with my friend. When she comes
back downstairs, her whole demeanor
done changed, right. So, she ain't actin'
the same way she went up,
as she was. Like, she's tryin'
to hide somethin',
right. So, I said, "Okay. All right. "If you ain't been
doin' nothin',
prove it to me." I take her in
another room and tell her to show
me her panties. Well, she pulls
her panties down and it looks like
she'd been havin' sex
the whole time up there. I mean, really?
I was... Okay.
So, you were
at somebody's... At a...
At a friend's house
for a party. She goes upstairs
for three hours... Mmm-hmm. ...disappears
for three hours... CANDELARIA: Mmm-hmm. ...comes back
downstairs... Yes, Your Honor. ...and her whole
demeanor's changed. Mmm-hmm. And then he said, "I wanna
see your panties." I'mma let you talk. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) That does not mean
I was messin' around
on you up there. And when you
saw her panties, it appeared, and I can only...
Cutler, I hate to say this. I hate to say it. You got a visual
in your head, I know. I got a visual. I'mma need
a long drink of water
after this. It's burned into my head. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Why didn't he
come up there
and check up on me if he thought
I was sleepin' around. I mean, really? (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) Because, I can tell you,
if I thought you
was sleepin' around, my butt'd be up there
before three hours. JUDGE DANA: Ms. Blakely,
your point is well-taken. Mr. Candelaria,
why didn't you go
and stop... CANDELARIA: Because I was... (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hold on.
Let him answer. I was testing her. Because I was gonna see... BLAKELY: Oh, whatever. I was just plannin' on
waitin' on her to come down and then checkin' her,
you know. BLAKELY: Whatever. Okay. Mr. Cutler, would you let me
disappear from a party
for three hours? Let me just ask that. CANDELARIA: Supposedly she was
with a friend Not if I
suspected you
were cheating. I mean, we goin'
to a party,
we aren't like this at the party,
the whole time. Movin' around
the room like that. I mean, we kinda
work the room. You talk to people... Yeah, I mean, but I've never
been to a party and been
away from you
for three hours. I'm like, 30 minutes,
15 minutes... Three hours
is the party. At some point, I'm like,
"Where is she?" So, I kinda look around
and I might see you. You've got
a group of people
you're talking to, and okay. She's fine. I go on
about my business. So, yeah, I'm
not sure I'd spend
three hours. And, if I suspected
she was cheating, I wouldn't wait three hours. I'd be like, "Oh wait.
Where is she?"
You know? If I had that suspicion. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) It's because he was
guilty of doin' somethin'. Whatever you were doin'. And you wanted
to accuse me of sleepin' around. I was down there alone. Not doin' nothin' Whatever. Knowing that she's just
supposed to be up there talkin' to her friend. So is there
anything else
that you've seen that makes you
think she's cheating? CANDELARIA:
Yes, Your Honor. Yes. There was time
and time again that I kept finding
these weird bruises on her inner thighs. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) So, we're gettin'
intimate one night and I brought a display. Can I just show you? Okay. Yeah, sure.
This is your display? Please step forward. Um... CANDELARIA: All right.
So, we're gettin'
intimate one night and... All right, we go to do this one certain sexual position that we don't...
(STAMMERS) I don't believe
we've ever done before. And I go and put my hands on her thighs. And lo and behold, my fingertips line up with each and every one
of these bruises that are on her. Then that means
it was your...
Your handprint, right? CANDELARIA:
I'd never done that... But, you'd never done
that position before. So, you... I mean, come on, now. It dawns on me that
she'd been having sex
with somebody and they're leavin'
these bruises on her. How are you sure
that those aren't
your fingerprints? CANDELARIA:
I know, because I'd been askin' her
about these fingerprints and we weren't
havin' sex that certain way. It had to be in that same certain position. And we hadn't
been having sex... I have a bruise
on me right now that he forgot
that he even done it. I'm not
cheating on him. So, you're sure those
aren't your fingerprints. I'm positive. I'm positive those... My thinkin' is, if the fingerprints fit you must acquit, right? BLAKELY: Right. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING
AND APPLAUDING) JUDGE KEITH: I mean,
that makes sense. They weren't
my fingerprints at all. He forgot about this bruise. I never...
I never left
no bruises on her. But you...
But, I have a bruise now. And you don't even know
what happened
right there. Really? (SIGHS) So... BLAKELY:
What makes you think I would of
let somebody else
put a bruise on me? (STAMMERING)
She was kinda
doin' it out of spite... I don't know. So... So, here's my question. 'Cause everybody
wants to know. Who taught whom
this position? (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) He! CANDELARIA:
I think it was her. JUDGE DANA: Did you? I think it was her. 'Cause here's the deal. If she taught you
and said, "Hey, grab me here, "do this, do that..." Hold on. Then somebody
probably taught her. CANDELARIA: Right. Exactly. But, if you were like, "Okay. Let me
grab you this way
and put you this way." No. No, see that... I don't know how
we got worked
into that position. Him. I mean, really? The good ones don't.
(LAUGHS) CANDELARIA:
I'm pretty sure that we'd never
done that position
before, at all, whatsoever. JUDGE KEITH: So, Ms. Blakely,
you don't deny that
the bruises were there. You're just saying
he put 'em there. No, Your Honor. I don't. But, I just know
it wasn't from havin' sex by another guy. JUDGE DANA: All right. Okay. I think
we've heard
enough testimony. Yeah. And a doozy
it's been Mr. Cutler. Yes, it has.
Here's what
we're lookin' at. JUDGE KEITH:
Mr. Candelaria found
fingerprints on her thighs that he says
he didn't put there from the sexual position. Mmm-hmm. She disappeared
for three hours
while at a party. Upstairs. He couldn't find her.
Didn't know where she was. And there was
another man
up there. And he believes that
she was with
that other man. Um, he's found her
on dating apps. And she's secretive
with her phone. All right. Well, because there
were questions regarding Ms. Blakely's
activities on the phone, the Court would like to call
digital forensic consultant, Patrick Siewert, who has done
a full investigation to determine, "Is she cheating?" Ron, please
escort Mr. Siewert in. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE DANA: How are you,
Mr. Siewert? PATRICK: Doin' well.
How are you all? Doin' good.
It's good to see you. We're great. Good to see you. JUDGE DANA:
So, for the record, could you tell us
what you did in
this case, specifically? Yeah. I did a full
forensic analysis <i> on Ms. Blakely's cell phone.</i> <i> This included
searching, uh, her phone
for messaging apps,</i> as well as
looking for any, uh, dating apps,
deleted messages, photos, or videos,
or anything like that.
That might be relevant. Mr. Candelaria
has a concern regarding Ms. Blakely's ex. Did you find
any communications between Ms. Blakely
and this ex? So, I did. I was
able to recover about 71 deleted...
Seventy-one deleted
text messages. Uh... What? PATRICK: Some of
those deleted messages were exchanges between
Ms. Blakely and an ex. Um, the most was, uh... The most recent was
ten months ago. All right. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Did you find anything else
on Ms. Blakely's phone? It appears that
Ms. Blakely
had an account, uh, for a dating
or hook-up app... JUDGE DANA: Mmm-hmm. ...uh, that's where
she's been in communication
with other people. Really? PATRICK:
I was able to recover
804 deleted emails. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) A hundred and seven
of those emails contained explicit
photos and videos
and messages like this. "Looking for
some great sex." BLAKELY: (NERVOUSLY)<i>
Those are those... No.</i> That's not from me. No, no. It's to you. No, no. It's not from you.
These are<i> to</i> you. BLAKELY: Right. But, it's not me
sending any out. Did you find any other? Yeah. There were
additional ones, uh, such as this one. <i> "Seeking a discreet,
intimate encounter ASAP."</i> Look. He would
get on these sites... Come on, now. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) But, these
are messages
you've received, correct? But, I have not
made any outgoing. Like, I have
not been chattin'
with these people. But, these are
from websites that you were on. BLAKELY: I ain't been
on no websites. Ooh. But, it says, to you. It doesn't say
to somebody else. That's my
email, right. JUDGE DANA: To your email. Yes, to my email. Which we've had this... Let me just
point-blank ask you this. You're denying that you have had contact or tried to contact anyone on the...
On these sites and have not
responded to them. Is that your testimony? Yes? (VOICE SHAKING)
Yes, Your Honor. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Well, to further
investigate this matter, the Court ordered a polygraph examination
of Ms. Blakely, and we have
those results. Ron, would you
please escort our private investigator and polygraph examiner, Michael Williams,
into the courtroom? RON: Yes, Your Honor. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE KEITH: Mr. Williams,
you asked Ms. Blakely "Did the handprints
Mr. Candelaria saw "on your inner thigh, "come from having physical,
sexual contact "with a man other than
Mr. Candelaria?" What was her response
to that question? She said, "No." What did the lie detector
determine? "come from having physical,
sexual contact..." What was her response
to that question? She said, "No." What did
the lie detector
determine? The lie detector
determined she was being truthful. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) Thank you. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Yeah, I bet. JUDGE DANA: You... (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) You asked Ms. Blakely, "Since the start
of your relationship, "other than the two times "Mr. Candelaria knows about, "have you had physical,
sexual contact "with any other man "other than Mr. Candelaria?" What was her response? She said, "No." What did
the lie detector
determine? On this question, there was no
significant physiological
responses that I could determine which indicated to me she was being truthful. Thank you, very much. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) All right. Ms. Blakely, you look relieved,
yet angry. I'm mad. Yes. JUDGE DANA:
Yes, tell me about that. Because he has
treated me like crap. The way I treated her
was wrong. I mean... And, I'm sorry. I really do apologize from the bottom
of my heart. I love you. And I love you. I wanna marry you. (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING
AND APPLAUDING) Will you marry me? Yes. Will you be my wife? Yes. Do I have to get down? (LAUGHS) (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) I love you, Ms. Blakely. I love you and will always love you. And cherish every moment that you get
to spend with me. Will you be my wife? Yes. JUDGE DANA: All right. (AUDIENCE CHEERING
AND APPLAUDING) You are married and
been together for 10 years. But your belief that Ms. Johnson is cheating is
destroying your relationship. Mr. George, tell us why
you've opened this case. Well, I believe she is
cheating on me like, I see text messages
on the phone Guys, random guys and girls. JUDGE KEITH: So, you think
she's cheating
with men and women? Men and women. JUDGE DANA: Wow! JOHNSON: Your Honors. I'm gonna turn to you. Are you cheating with men
and or women? Absolutely not, Your honor. I'm happily married for
10 years to my husband. And, he believes
that I'm cheating, with women and men. I'm not interested in women. But the real reason why he
believes that I'm a cheater is because he
cheats all the time. Listen, Your Honor,
she a mess... So, we marry and
he cheats all the time. Oh... So, you believe
she's cheating
with men and women. Yes, she's a man slayer. JUDGE DANA: A man slayer? A man slayer. And a player. JUDGE DANA: And a player. JUDGE DANA: Okay, tell me
what a man slayer is. Tell me what that is. She'd hunt down her prey, and once she's got him, She rip off their head and put
them on a wall like a plaque. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) Like a plaque, like a trophy. Yeah. It's okay, because I don't really
want his head as
a plaque on my wall. Ten years ago you did. I didn't even holler at you.
You hollered at me. JUDGE DANA: Did you hear that? He said she was
hollering at you. GEORGE: Yeah. So, she slayed you. GEORGE: Basically. I think he liked
being slayed
by the man slayer. JUDGE DANA:
I think he liked it. Oh, she was pretty,
she was nice. JUDGE KEITH: Feisty? She a lil' feisty. JUDGE KEITH: She's feisty. I like feisty women.
She's feisty. I won it, I own it. You embrace it. I embrace it.
It's what makes me
a queen. JOHNSON: Hey, so... So, it makes you who you are. It is, it is. You see I'm still here. I know, I keeps
you right there. Keeps me right here, all right. JUDGE DANA:
Okay, so what made you say, "Let me put this player down
and put my hooks in it." Well, I thought
I was slowing him down,
Your Honors, it's been 10 years, and
he still out running me. So, it's not like
I could slow him down cause he's a womanizer.
His favorite line is, "My name is Larry." But Ms. Johnson,
he has brought you here, accusing you of cheating. Not only cheating but cheating
with men and women. So, I'm trying to figure out
why you got with him if you're still
trying to play the field. See the problem is
Your Honor is that, I'm not like a player
and I'm just his. When I said 'I do',
I meant it. I meant that I'm gonna be
with him and only him. But then when you have
a husband like Larry, who be on the phone
texting people and doing all this nonsense. It's kinda hard so,
but I did what I did was, it might be wrong,
Your Honor. But I start agreeing
to what he tells me. "Oh, you cheating."
Absolutely. "Oh, you with a guy."
Absolutely. Because he wants to hear this. Mr. George, okay,
you say she's cheating. Why do you think
she's cheating now? Listen, I went through
her Facebook, right? Her Gmail, right? I see messages between
her and her friends talking about inviting
some guy over to have sex. And all this other stuff. So, I'm like... You submitted a recollection of
that text message, is that correct? GEORGE: Yes, yes. And here it is. And this is the other man. When we going to blank? Hey... JUDGES: Have sex. JUDGE KEITH:
The blank is have sex?
Yeah. Basically. JUDGE DANA: And they support
your position
that she is in fact cheating on you? Yes. I was home alone. I was bored, so,
I was entertaining him. It was entertaining.
It was just
something to do because he's always
never around. JUDGE DANA:
So, you're saying...
Your testimony in this court... That's a lie. JUDGE DANA: Hold on. Your testimony
to this court is,
I was bored, so we started
having conversation about when you gonna go
have sex with another man. Well... JUDGE DANA: Yes or no.
That's a yes or no. Um, yes, Your Honor. JUDGE DANA:
Other than these text messages, what makes you think
Miss Johnson is cheating,
your wife is cheating? There was one incident, right,
when we just moved
into this neighborhood and then she met
this girl that was there. She started
hanging around us. And then they wanted
to go to the store, at it was, like,
11 o'clock at night, so I was like, all right,
they had to go to the store. She left at 11:00,
all right... JUDGE DANA: 11:00 p.m. At night and came back...
It was daytime. It was 7 o'clock
in the morning. I'm waiting
in the parking lot for her.
They pulling up. You waited for me 11:00
to 7:00 in the parking lot? GEORGE: Well, first I was up,
you know, just watching TV
and I notice... I'm, like, it was 2:00,
3 o'clock. Where they at? Then I started
calling her phone.
She not picking up. Then I call her friend's phone.
They both not picking up. And so she shows up
at 7:00 in the morning
with a woman. GEORGE: 7:00 in the morning
like everything is cool. And you believe... She's probably doing something
with her or some guys,
or having groups... I don't know what was going on. JUDGE DANA: But you think that
sex was definitely involved that you weren't there for. That's a whole shift.
That's eight hours. He wanted
to be a part of it. He wanted to be a part of it,
but there was nothing
to be a part of. You Honor, I have a friend.
We women, we talk. You know, we just
running our mouths.
We shopping it up together. Yeah, all right. JOHNSON:
The store was 24-hours. And next thing I know,
the birds were chirping, the sun was coming up.
It was innocent, Your Honor. I was at a 24-hour store.
I was amazed. And it was Father's Day.
I was just gonna
get stuffing. JUDGE DANA:
You were gonna get stuffing? Yes. She's getting
something stuffing. Booty call hour. Your Honor, it wasn't even
at 11:00 at night. It was like 7:30 at night,
but let Larry tell it. JUDGE DANA:
Okay, we cannot help you. If you left at 7:30 at night and didn't come home
till 7:00 a.m., we got four more hours. The time just flew past
so fast, Your Honor. When you having a good,
intellectual conversation... GEORGE: Intellectual? Time goes by fast. JUDGE KEITH: You know when else
time flies really fast? What, Mr. Cutler? Tell her. When you're having a nice
physical relationship, time flies like that. Well, my case is only
two seconds so... JUDGE DANA: That's 'cause it is
like that, Miss Johnson. Just like that. It doesn't fly like that. JUDGE DANA: Not me but... JUDGE KEITH: Okay. I've heard that. You've heard that. I mean, I'm sure,
but there was
no sexual nothing. It was just innocent. Mr. George... JOHNSON: I'm sorry, it's not... Mr. George, is there anyone
that you're specifically
concerned about that your wife has been with? Yeah, with her best friend. (CLICKS TONGUE) JUDGE DANA: You believe
she slept with her best friend? Tell me why. In my court, she's guilty
until proven innocent. Now, listen, we end up
living with her friend. She made me feel uncomfortable. They both was arguing with me,
tag teaming me. Double teaming. And one day he told me
if I don't like it,
I can just get the hell on out. So, I heard that. (LAUGHS) You know, there's been so much,
you know, I can take. Yo, I just. JUDGE DANA: So, why are you... Okay, so you all have moved in
with the friend. GEORGE: Yeah, they be
locked up in their room. The best friend. They don't even
want me to come in her room, but they locked up
in the room together. JUDGE KEITH:
So, you just getting this vibe, okay, these two are vibing
just a little too close... Yeah. To the point
where it's excluding you, and you like,
"Hey, wait a minute." Exactly, and then, mind you,
her friend and her, it made me feel uncomfortable. When I left, right,
I just packed up
all my stuff and left, I was homeless for, like,
four, five months, living in my car,
sleeping house to house with friends, people I met,
stuff like that. Oh, boy. JUDGE DANA: And she continued
to live with this woman. I sure did. She laid up comfortably
in that house... Very. Right, and had sex
with whoever she had sex with while I was
on the streets homeless. JOHNSON: Ooh. We're not sleeping together,
so this is the point. You never slept
with your best friend? JOHNSON:
Absolutely not, Your Honor. But, Mr. George, you are
absolutely convinced that
she slept with her best friend. Yes. (JOHNSON SIGHS) We got an apartment
a couple months later,
all right. Once she got an apartment,
her friend wanted to come. I said no, you can't come over.
You know what I'm saying. JUDGE DANA:
So, you put and end to it. Yeah, you can't come over.
That's it. It's over. Don't come by here.
But she mad. She's arguing with me
in front of the building She trying to curse me out,
say all types of stuff about me
in front of the building. Then my homeboy,
he pulls up, right. He's like, "Yo, what's going on
with you and shorty?" He say, "Yo, look,
I'm a hook up with her, right, "I'm a find out
what's going on." So, like, go ahead,
hook up with her. Find out. (CHUCKLES) JUDGE DANA: Oh, my goodness. Whatcha ma call it. So, now he's gonna hook up
with the best friend. JOHNSON: Unbelievable. GEORGE: Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, so what happened? So, he hooks up with my friend.
My name comes up as topic of the discussion.
All right? So, he asks her,
"What's your problem
with my boy, you know, Larry?" (SIGHS) So, then she was like,
"I don't know how to tell him, "but when she was living
here with me... Oh! but... (LAUGHS) GEORGE: "We was having sex.
We was using toys. "All kinds of stuff." Oh, my goodness. JUDGE DANA:
Hold on, Miss Johnson. My best friend told him
that she does not like Larry, and this friend needed a ride,
so he made that story up to make Larry get off
the bed and go with him. There's his side,
there's her side, and there's a best friend side,
and he is here to testify. Ron, would you bring him in? RON: Yes, Your Honor. You can go right up to
the witness stand there. JOHNSON: This liar? GEORGE: My boy, what's up? JUDGE KEITH:
Good day sir, how are you? AUSTIN JOHNSON: Doing fine. State your name please,
for the court. Austin Johnson. JUDGE KEITH: Mr. Johnson,
what is your relationship
to Mr. George? He's a good friend of mine
for two years. We lived
in the same neighborhood. What happened the day that
you spoke to Carla's friend? AUSTIN JOHNSON: Her friend
had too much to drink, So, she was telling me
how Carla is good with
(COUGHS) oral sex. AUDIENCE: Ooh! (CHUCKLES) JUDGE KEITH:
Her best friend told you this? AUSTIN JOHNSON: Yes And she told you all this
was going on with Miss Johnson. Yes, as he was gone.
You know, he had
to sleep in his car. She wouldn't let him
inside the house... He left. For multiple days. And so after he told you this,
what did you do? I stopped talking to her. JOHNSON: (CLICKS TONGUE) JUDGE KEITH:
What did you tell Mr. George? I told him
what her friend had said. He carried a bone
and bought it. He ain't get nothing. JUDGE DANA:
So, here's the deal. You are claiming
that you have not cheated. JOHNSON: I have never. You have not cheated with men,
you have not cheated
with women. Absolutely not. JUDGE DANA: The only reason
that you are being accused is because your husband
is actually a cheater. You Honor, my husband
is the biggest cheater in... JUDGE DANA: All right,
so in response to that no marriage can get resolved
if you're accusing him and he's accusing you. So, we're gonna order you
to come back after this case is completed to find out, is he cheating. So, we will have you
return to court... Okay. JUDGE DANA: And file your case and we're gonna
find out about him. JOHNSON: Yes. And that way
we're gonna find out about everybody,
as they say. And once you know,
then you all can figure out
how to move forward. But let's handle
the allegations
in this case first. JOHNSON: Okay. And here's
what we got, Mr. Cutler. Come on. You lie. We found an explicit Facebook
message with another gentlemen asking her when
she was coming to have sex. He thinks she is sleeping
with men and women. He also had
his best friend find out
and get out of the purported lovers mouth that in fact they were
having sex together. And he says, if all of this is true,
you're done. I am completely done. JUDGE KEITH:
Out of the picture. Out the picture. JUDGE DANA: All right. JUDGE KEITH:
Well, this court has done a full and complete
investigation. At this time,
we would like to hear from
certified polygraph examiner, Tommy Platt,
to determine is she cheating. (CHEERING) Ron, will you please
escort Mr. Platt in? JOHNSON: Come on, Tommy. Come on, Tommy. Here we go. JUDGE DANA:
How are you Mr. Platt? PLATT: Good, Your Honor. Glad to have you here. Now, you conducted a polygraph
examination of Miss Johnson. Is that correct? Yes, ma'am. JUDGE DANA: All right.
So, the first question, Miss Johnson was asked, "When you went
to the store with your friend "and did not come back
until 7:00 a.m. "Did you have physical,
sexual contact "with anyone
other than Mr. Johnson?" What was her response? PLATT: She stated "no". JUDGE DANA: What did
the lie detector determine? The lie detector determined
that she was being truthful. Hey! Let's get it! Let's get it.
Come on, Tommy. JUDGE DANA: All right. GEORGE: That's fine. Miss Johnson was asked, (READING) (CHUCKLES) JUDGE KEITH:
What was her response? PLATT: She stated "no". JUDGE KEITH: What did
the polygraph determine? The polygraph determined
that she was telling the truth. Ooh! I am not gay, honey. Abso... Liar. JUDGE KEITH: Well, we still
have another question. JOHNSON: It's okay, Your Honor. I'm so confident, I already
know what Tommy gonna say. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) JUDGE DANA: All right. Come on, Tommy. AUSTIN JOHNSON: Oh, man. Miss Johnson was asked, (READING) "with a man or woman?" What was her response? PLATT: She stated "no". JUDGE KEITH: What did
the polygraph determine? The polygraph determined
that she was being truthful. (EXCLAIMS) Ha! He has a mental issue,
Your Honor. He needs help, H-E-L-P. All right, Mr. George,
it comes out. What do you have
to say to your wife? JOHNSON: He can't
say nothing to me. She got a bad attitude problem. (SARCASTICALLY) Aw. JUDGE DANA: Really, Mr. George? Mr. George, do you think you the source
of her bad attitude since you been
accusing her of that? GEORGE: No. JUDGE DANA: Are you source
of her bad attitude
'cause you cheating? JOHNSON: Yes, Your Honor. GEORGE: Now, listen, listen,
I don't be cheating. JOHNSON: Cheating. He a player. JUDGE DANA: All right. Well, we gonna find out. We gonna find out. How are you feeling,
Miss Johnson? JOHNSON: I feel,
Your Honor, honestly I don't want to be
with Larry no more. I'm gonna be honest with you. The reason why
I don't wanna be with him
no more is because I gave him 10 years, okay. I did everything
I needed to do for him. I just want to know if...
Is he cheating on me. Like, I wanna know
the truth from Tom. I wanna know the truth.
Like, I proved my point. But my question is,
what if it comes out
he's not been cheating? If you found out otherwise,
it might change your heart. JOHNSON:
If he's not cheating on me,
it might change my heart.
