<i> This is</i> Couples Court
with the Cutlers. This is the case
of Hines versus Anderson. You all are dating and are considering
moving in together, but that moving van is on hold until you find out
what's going on, Ms. Hines. Tell me why you've opened
your case today? I believe he's cheating
and I'm done. I don't wanna
go through this no more. -[Judge Dana] All right. So--
-I love him but I don't love him enough. I'm putting me first for once. [chuckles] Okay. So you're like,
"I love him -but what I'm not gonna do--"
-Is tolerate his stuff anymore. [Judge Dana] All right.
All right. -Mr. Anderson, you heard it.
-[Anderson] Yes, I did,
Your Honor. She said she thinks
you're cheating,
and she's gonna, for once, put herself first if she finds out
you are cheating. What do you have
to say about that? [Anderson]
I'm not cheating on her. I work, Your Honor,
I work very hard. I love Jackie. The reason why
that she accused me of cheating is the fall of communication. I mean, by the time
I get off of work, you know, I'm tired. So you're saying
you don't have time to cheat? [Anderson]
I don't have time to cheat. -Lie.
-[Judge Keith] She's accusing
you of cheating. -[Judge Keith] You don't
even have time?
-No, I don't. -[Hines] Lie.
-So that's what you wanna
show her today? -[Anderson] Yes.
-And Ms. Hines is,
like, no, I ain't having it, -I know the deal.
-I'm Inspector Gadget. When I believe
that he's doing something,
nine out of ten times I believe he's doing something,
I just can't catch him. -Okay.
-[Hines] The particular day, I popped up at his house,
do what I do best, getting to searching.
I go to that closet, it's a-- it's a wig in there. -[woman exclaiming]
-It's a wig! -Okay.
-And it wasn't your wig? It was not my wig, bruh. -Oh.
-[audience laugh] It was-- I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Your Honor, I'm so sorry, but it was not my wig, so I proceeded
to light that thing on fire. -[Judge Dana]
You burned the wig?
-I lit it up. -[audience laughing]
-I lit it-- I lit-- like a Christmas tree. Okay, did you burn it
in the house? -Yes. I had it in my hands,
walking downstairs with it.
-[audience laughing] Walking down the stairs with--
[chuckles] [Judge Dana] All right. I know that was an eye-opener,
wasn't it, Mr. Anderson? -Yes.
-No, he was sticking to the
story, it's a family member's. [Anderson] Well, Your Honor,
it's not mine's. I did let a family member
use my place and they messed up by--
you know, I mean, taking the wig out.
She keeps nagging me and nagging me about that,
I-- I can't deal with that. You all have this argument
about the wig, how does it get resolved? I had to give her some actright. -Sex. Sex.
-[Judge Keith] You had to-- you had to give her
some actright. Yeah, I gotta give her
some actright. -Hold on. What is actright?
-What I'm blessed with,
Your Honor, -I gotta calm her down.
-What you blessed with? -What I'm down with.
-Boy! [Judge Keith] Some actright,
what you blessed with? [Anderson]
What I'm blessed with. Oh, that's what
I'm talking about. -[Hines] Boy!
-[Anderson] I gotta give her
what I'm blessed with. Ron. He said he gave her
some actright. -You know what?
-[Hines] Let me tell you baby...
I came back. Okay, so here's the thing. This is what's tickling me,
Mr. Cutler, she set the wig on fire,
then he set her on fire, -that's... [laughs]
-Yeah. [audience applauding] [Hines] That was
not what happened. He gave her the actright,
she forgot all about the wig. Until... Do you have any other reason
to believe that he's cheating? He was, like, um... "Help me wash clothes, ma," I looked-- I don't do that,
that ain't my job. So I love him, so I did it,
and we separated his clothes, you see this crusty--
oh, crusty. -Not crusty.
-[Hines] Extra, extra-large. -[Judge Dana] Oh.
-Gross. -[audience exclaiming]
-In his laundry. [audience exclaiming] [Judge Keith]<i> Mr. Anderson,
where did these underwear
come from?</i> [Anderson] Once again,
Your Honor, I allowed a family member
use my apartment, I don't know
where that came from. Your family member
must have left naked, -they left the wig there,
left their underwear there.
-[Anderson] No. Did they leave
with any clothes... ...on when they left? I don't know, Your Honor, I don't know, I don't know. [Hines] I post-- I posted
a video. Okay. So tell us-- tell us
what happened? I posted that up there,
and then I also post that on-- He was in a relationship. She's gonna call me, like,
"Oh, really? This is what we doing?"
So I asked her, <i> -"Who are you?"</i>
-[audience exclaiming] [Judge Dana] So this woman, after you post
the underwear responds, so she telling you basically,
"That's me." -[Judge Keith]<i> "That's my man."</i>
-[audience laughing] So I know she had
a conversation with you about this woman calling her, <i> -who is this woman to you?</i>
-[Hines]<i> He told me I was lying.
I was crazy.</i> [Anderson]<i>
The other female is someone</i> that's obsessed with me,
I mean, she find-- -[Judge Dana] Why is she
obsessed with you?
-[Anderson] I mean, she... [Hines] Listen, baby. Look, the actright.
Come on, now. [Anderson]
No. Your Honor. -I'm not...
-[Hines] Listen, listen,
listen... Did you really
asked that question? -Yeah.
-[audience cheering] No, Your Honor. Your Honor,
drop the evidence out because she a liar, he is too. So I said, "Send me some proof."
It's in the bed. [Judge Keith] Ron,
would you grab that, please? In the bed. [imitates snoring] [Judge Keith] Ms. Hines?
Oh, hold on! Just hand-- hand them notes. -[Judge Keith]<i> This is what
she sent you?</i>
-[audience exclaiming] <i> And you know it's his bed
because...</i> [Hines]<i> I bought them sheets
that he have.</i> This is not you
laying in the bed? -[Hines] No.
-Okay. [Judge Dana] You bought
these sheets, -that's your testimony?
-I bought the sheets. All right.
So that's how you know. All right,
we got another picture. <i> -What is this
you just handed me?</i>
-[audience exclaiming] -[Judge Keith]<i> That's her.</i>
-[Hines]<i> That's me</i> and my baby daddy. Hugged up in the same bed. She did buy me a set of sheets
but she ain't buy those. So Mr. Anderson, you said she didn't buy the sheets,
you bought them, is that really
what you're focusing in on? Aren't we really focusing
on the fact that in the picture on the left, there's a woman in your bed... -[Anderson] I don't know that...
-...who's not Ms. Hines, <i> and on the picture
on the right,</i> <i>there's a woman in the same bed
who is Ms. Hines?</i> [Anderson]<i>
The second picture is her,</i> the first picture,
I don't who that is. -[audience laughing]
-[Judge Keith]
But it's your bed. [Anderson]
Yes. It-- it's my bed but-- And that's your shoulder.
That's where
you're gonna take me? No. No, Your Honor,
it may-- it may sound crazy, -Your Honor, but--
-[Judge Dana] No. No, it doesn't may sound crazy,
it is crazy. -That ain't a may.
-[audience] Yeah. So after the panties,
and the wig, and these pictures, did you have any more
interaction with this woman? Yes. Like I said,
I'm Inspector Gadget. -What happened?
-I goes through his phone, the same woman told him
that she's pregnant. [audience exclaiming] -She's carrying his kid.
-[Judge Dana] Okay. This woman says
that she is carrying your child, that doesn't happen unless
you've had sex with her. [Anderson] Your Honor,
I didn't do anything
with the woman, I didn't-- I didn't-- it's not--
it's not-- it's not my baby. It's not my baby, Your Honor. So you're saying
it's not your baby? [Anderson] No, Your Honor,
it's not my baby. And Ms. Hines,
you don't believe that? You see it right there
on the text-- [Hines] I was done
cause mind you, me and him trying to have a baby
for like five or six months. We talked about having a baby. Okay. So you don't know what-- -you don't know what this woman
is talking about?
-[Anderson] No. -You think the woman's
telling the truth?
-Hm. -[Anderson] And she--
-The woman is here. -[Anderson] And she...
-We're gonna hear from her. [audience exclaims, applauds] [Judge Keith] Ron, would you
please escort our witness in? -[Ron] Yes, Your Honor.
-[audience cheering] We're gonna go right up
to the witness stand. -[sighs]
-[dramatic music playing] [retches, breathes heavily] [Judge Keith] Good day, ma'am,
how are you?
-All right. Would you state your name,
please, for the record? Gena Terry. And Ms. Terry,
what is the nature of your relationship
with Mr. Anderson? Well, I thought me
and Mr. Anderson was together. <i> He never told me
that he had no girlfriend...</i> <i> -at all.</i>
-[audience exclaims] [Judge Dana] Okay. So how long
have you all, you and Mr. Anderson
been seeing each other? We've been seeing each other
for like about four months now. And during that time period,
no... inkling that he had
a relationship... -[Terry] I never--
-[Judge Dana] ...with Ms. Hines. No, I didn't
'cause I didn't know
nothing about her until she called my phone
and asked me, is I'm messing with her man? And I told her no, I told her-- "Well, I didn't know Kalif
had a woman." -[audience exclaiming]
-When he came to the house, because he was staying with me, and I asked Kalif, "Did you know
some girl called my phone?" He said, "Don't pay it no mind
and don't listen to her because she's lying." [Terry]
That's what he told me. Have you ever left
any clothing items -or other items at his house?
-No, I haven't. No, I don't leave
no clothes there. I didn't leave no clothes
at Kalif house. No wig, no panties, -no home stuff?
-No. -No wig, no. No.
-[Hines speaks indistinctly] No. Did you text Mr. Anderson
and say that you are expecting? First of all, I got sick
at my job. I called Kalif on the phone,
he was at work, and I told Kalif
that I was pregnant. Kalif said, "Oh, really, baby?
Really?" He was happy. -Kalif told everybody...
-His baby now? Okay. ...at the job
that I was pregnant. Mr. Anderson? That's some pretty detailed
testimony. [Judge Keith] I see the look
in your face. That's a look I've seen
a lot of times up here. -Uh-hmm.
-[Anderson sighs] [Judge Keith] Do you have
anything to say? Say something! Your Honor, let's get it
straight, I said, it's not mine. -No, you didn't say that.
-I told you that. -No, no,
you didn't tell me that.
-I did tell you that. [Judge Dana] Let me just start
to step back, Mr. Cutler. -[Judge Keith] Okay.
-In the last four months, have you had sex with Ms. Terry? No. [Judge Dana] You have not
had sex with her? [Anderson] No. When she-- when she comes over,
let's keep it 100-- when you-- when you come over,
we don't do anything. -We do have sex.
-[Judge Dana] She comes over
to your house? -Kalif, we do.
-[Anderson] She came over
before. -[Terry] Yeah, but we--
-[Anderson] To chill. Since you-- since you've been in
a relationship with Ms. Hines, has Ms. Terry been to your home? -Uh-hmm.
-No. [Judge Dana] Have you had sex
with her since you've been in -a relationship with Ms. Hines?
-No. -[audience exclaiming]
-[Judge Keith] If someone calls and tells you
that they're pregnant,
you said it's not yours... why-- I mean, that's like,
"Well, you must've been with other people,
but it's not mine," as opposed to,
"How in the world--
why are you telling me? I mean,
we've never been together, we've never had
any relationship,
why are you telling me?" I didn't deny the fact
of-- of sharing intimacy with her. I've shared intimacy with her,
yes. -but...
-[Judge Keith]
You shared intimacy? [Anderson] ...the time frame
doesn't add up,
that's why it's not mine. What does that mean
you shared intimacies with her? That me and her had sex before. [Judge Dana] But you're saying
when you had sex with her pre-dating before Ms. Hines... [Anderson] Yes,
before Ms. Hines. ...And it couldn't be that
she's just now getting pregnant from that sex--
sexual encounter? Yes, because her time frame
doesn't add up because I was with Ms. Hines, and I didn't step out
of my relationship. That's why I said,
"Oh, it's not mine." -[Judge Dana]
Ms. Terry you're saying...
-Y'all hear this? ...in the last four months,
you've had
a sexual relationship. -We have.
-[Judge Dana] And that's why -you're pregnant by him?
-Yes, by him. And I haven't been seeing
no one else but Kalif. -[Judge Dana] Go ahead, love.
-[Hines] I need some proof. When is the last time you
had sex with Mr. Anderson? I say about now--
about what? A month?
Around a month now since, I haven't-- because
I haven't been talking to him, understanding his girlfriend
is here. Like I said to you, honey,
I didn't know nothing about you. Kalif never told me
at the time about you. First of all, she's lying.
When I called her, she told me they was friends. Here's the thing,
it doesn't matter now because she's saying,
"We were in a relationship, I know about you," now that you know
out of her mouth that, "Yeah," she's saying, "Yeah,
we were in a relationship, we've been in a relationship," -how does that make you feel?
-[Hines] Well I'm-- And wait. She's claiming
that she's pregnant, you've been trying to have
a baby with this man, and she's coming,
how do you feel about that? Oh, I'm hurt,
but I'm pregnant too. -[audience exclaiming]
-[Judge Dana] What? -[Judge Keith] You're pregnant?
-[Hines] I'm pregnant too. -Ooh.
-[Hines] Uh-hmm. So, when did you find out
you were pregnant? I found out Saturday. [Judge Dana] So just been--
just a few days ago? [Hines]<i> A few days ago.</i> [Judge Dana] Did--
have you told him? He-- he know.
Soon as I peed in the cup. -I smacked him with it.
-[audience laughing] So all this time you've been
trying to get pregnant, -you finally are pregnant.
-I'm finally pregnant. So the actright
has finally come through. [audience laughing, applauding] So, Ms. Hines,
what are you going to do if it is determined
that he has been cheating with Ms. Terry
over somebody else? I'm leaving. I'm done. -I'm done.
-[Judge Keith] But you're
pregnant with his child. I don't care, I'm done. Don't call me, don't text me,
don't do nothing, don't even come around
for this baby. [audience exclaiming] [Judge Dana] You have
the possibility, Mr. Anderson, of being a daddy twice,
two different women around the same time. -Go ahead, love.
-We planned this baby, y'all. [sighs] Well we have done
a thorough investigation to find out what is going on. At this time,
the court would like to call licensed polygraph examiner,
Kendall Shull to determine, is he cheating? Ron, escort him here, please. [Ron] Mr. Shull. How are you, Mr. Shull? I'm great, Your Honor,
how are you? I'm great. Would you share
for the court record your credentials? I spent almost 30 years
with the FBI, spent my whole career
in Washington, DC. When I retired,
I was actually chief of the entire FBI's
polygraph program, uh, retired,
moved to Knoxville, Tennessee where I set up my own business
of polygraphs and private investigations. All right. All right, Mr. Anderson. Mr. Shull's
gonna tell your story. Do you wanna tell your story
or you want him to tell it? I'd rather have Mr. Shull
to tell my story. -[Judge Dana] All right.
-[audience laughing] Well, he's able,
he's getting ready to. Mr. Anderson, during your relationship
with Ms. Hines, have you had sexual intercourse
with Ms. Terry? -What was his response?
-He said no, Your Honor. What did the lie detector
determine? The lie detector determined
that he was being... deceptive. [Hines sighs] I slept with--
I did sleep with Ms. Terry. -I did-- I did sleep with her.
-[Judge Keith] Okay. And you've done it
during the course of this relationship
with Ms. Hines? Yes. But I haven't--
I haven't been intimacy with her -for a while.
-[Hines laughs] I mean, it could be,
I mean, somebody else's, I mean, I-- I'm not denying
the fact of sleeping with her, but-- I understand that it could be
somebody else, but the somebody could be you. -Yes.
-[audience exclaiming] [Judge Keith] If you have
questions about whether
it's yours or not, we can get
that question resolved too because we've got a direct line to Lauren Lake's
Paternity Court, and so we can make
those arrangements for you to figure out whose child it is.
If that's your concern. -That would be very helpful.
-[Hines] Hm. -[audience laughing]
-Okay. Ms. Hines? I'm really hurt,
but you know what? I'm done. Me and the kid's leaving.
I'm putting me first. All right, Ms. Hines,
I-- ain't no way in the world I'd tell you to stay with him,
so I'm not, because Mr. Anderson
hadn't figured it out yet. [Hines] Yeah, he ain't right. And Mr. Anderson. It's okay
if you wanna play the field, but you need to be open
and honest that I'm not ready fitting to
make you the only one. You talking about the actright, -you got to act right.
-[Hines] Uh-hmm. That's where
the act right starts. You all have been together
for two years, in fact, today is your
two-year anniversary. And, where most people
would be out celebrating
their two-year anniversary, Mr. Rosenzweig,
you have brought
Ms. Rankin here to court, and are accusing her
of cheating. Tell us why
you've opened this case. I've opened this case,
Your Honor, because I've been with her
for the last two years. Things went very smooth
in the beginning. We met at a party. It was a party
of a mutual friend. We actually went
to high school together. But we were never
in any classes together. The first year was real smooth. And then she picked up
this new job as dog trainer. She was out of the house a lot, trying to build up
this clientele. And that's why
you brought her to court
on your anniversary? Yes, Your Honor. Okay. What does
that feel like
for you to believe that this young lady
that you love, and you spent
this time with, is cheating on you? I mean,
it doesn't feel good.
I've done a lot for her. I've been there for her
through a lot of stuff. It just feels like, you know,
she's taking advantage,
at this point. All right, Ms. Rankin,
why are you here? I'm here to defend myself
to claim my innocence. He knows I'm not cheating,
he's being ridiculous. This is our
two-year anniversary, and I'm here in court, when I should be getting
flowers and chocolate. So, what I'm hearing
from you is not, like,
"I feel sad," but you sound
a little angry
about at all this. Oh, I'm pissed, Your Honor. JUDGE DANA:
So, it's not just angry,
you are beyond that. Mmm-hmm. Yes, Your Honor. So, what was it like
in the beginning with him? In the beginning,
it was great. He was the perfect boyfriend. I was at,
kind of, a low point
when I met him. JUDGE DANA: Okay. And he brought me up,
made me feel good
about myself. And, now,
I'm just over it, 'cause I've been having
to defend myself way too much. Wow! Ooh! Things made
a real turn. Mr. Rosenzweig, she said
in the beginning you put
the swag in "Rosenzweig." You know,
you were the man. I like that. What did you like about her
when you first met her? I liked her smile. Uh, she was very nice
in the beginning. But, you know... What went wrong?
'Cause it sounds like
things were going well. Where did the turn come? I would say,
about six months ago, when she started this new job. This new job is something else.
Tell me about this job. You know, she told me
after the training was done that she'd be working
from home, and she'd be bringing the dogs
home to train them there. JUDGE DANA:<i> Okay.</i> MATHEW ROSENZWEIG:<i>
You know, the dogs would
come by sometimes.</i> <i> Sometimes they're
real terrible.</i> <i> Tearing my shoes up,
and do stuff like that.</i> If I had known
that I was gonna go through three pairs of Jordans a week
with her dogs that she brings
to the house, maybe I would have been
a little less supportive or I would have been out
in the beginning. They obviously can tell
something that I couldn't. You're talking about the dogs? RANKIN: Yeah. So, you think the dogs
are chewing up his shoes because of how he is? Yes. All right, so, tell me how
this job has affected you, Why do you think that
because of the job there has been this turn
in your relationship? Okay, you want
to hear a story? We went to go get
an oil change, a few weeks ago. Please. Okay. We sat there for, like,
four hours. And she just
didn't speak to me, she was fully involved
on the phone. You know,
I was asking her questions like,
"Who are you texting?" Stuff like that. You know,
I don't like asking
questions like this. Yes, you do. Okay. Anyway... What made you think
that she was texting
somebody that she might be
involved with?
What was it about... It's just the way
she looks at the phone, you can see the way she's
laughing at certain things. JUDGE KEITH:
What does that look like?
Show me what that looks like. It's just a smile. Show us the smile,
come on. So, she's texting
and she just gets
this look on her face. Yeah. You know... Okay. No, it was... Back around Labor Day, one of our sons
was texting. And we were
at a family gathering, he's off to the side,
and he's just texting. And then he... He had this look
on his face. And I just,
very calmly asked him, "So, what's her name?" He kind of
dropped his head. He's like,
"How do you know?" I said, "I know what
that looks like." It's the body language. JUDGE KEITH:
It's the body language.
That's what you saw. Yeah, so, we went back to the house. And her phone was dead
and she needed a charger. She told me to go
look through her purse. So, I went to go look
for the charger in her purse and I found
three Magnum condoms, where she hides her cards. And I took a picture
just to have some proof. Okay, do you have that? ROSENZWEIG: I do have this. Ron, would you please get
the evidence. Please. All right, so you go
in the other room... Yes. With the condoms.
And you confront her.
What do you say? I said, "What are these?
Where did these come from?" <i> And she told me
that she had,</i> <i> you know,
stopped taking her pills,</i> and that she got these
from the doctor. And I said, "You know,
the doctor doesn't
give away Magnum condoms. "I'm pretty sure." Okay. Let me...
Not to get all
in your business... We'll get there. We got to
find out, right? We got to find out.
But the question is do you use Magnums? ROSENZWEIG: Uh... RANKIN: No. Honestly, we don't
use condoms. JUDGE DANA:
You don't use condoms. Never. Okay. So, you're like,
"Why did you have these
if we don't use them?" ROSENZWEIG: Exactly. And you're thinking
if the condom don't fit... Listen, I went to the doctor
to start a new birth control. The first month
doesn't work. And at the doctor,
I grabbed a handful
of condoms, for us. And I have friends
that are very promiscuous. I grabbed them
for them also. That sounds good, right? It was very innocent. I think he is just
not appreciating
me enough. He's a leprechaun
and I'm his pot of gold. So, I think
he should just... So, what kind of
doctor's office is
giving out Magnum condoms? Yeah, they usually
just have generic. This is a very
fancy doctor's office. JUDGE DANA: No doubt. JUDGE KEITH: Clearly, yeah. And look, and not only
did she grab some
for herself, she's like,
"Oh, she would want some, "and I know
she'd want some." 'Cause she's a giver. Yeah. "And I know
she wants some." "Excuse me,
do you have a bag
I can put these in, "so I can take them
to all my friends?" Really? Mmm-hmm. JUDGE DANA: That's your story? Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE DANA:
You weren't using these condoms
with someone else? No. We don't use condoms. All right, Mr. Rosenzweig,
why else do you think
she's cheating? We had this dog at the house, and this was
probably the worst dog that she's trained so far. She told me that she's
finally going to drop the dog
back off with its owner, and she's going
to collect her money. It was only going to take,
like, a half hour. Two hours go by
and I hadn't heard from her. And I was texting her,
Facetiming her,
doing all that stuff. And she comes back
and she has no money. Okay. Ms. Rankin,
who did you spend
the money on? I didn't spend the money. The owner of the dog
I was training was one of my friends. I hadn't seen her
for a while, so when I dropped the dog off,
we were just catching up. My phone died. Literally,
everything is innocent. So, you're saying
that you went... And you're saying
that it was a female friend, I heard that. RANKIN: Yeah. Yes. So, you were not there... You were not
with another man
is what you're saying. RANKIN: No. But you believe
that she was. It's always a female.
She always says
for the dog training that it's always a girl. But when I see...
You know, I've seen
over her shoulder at her phone before
and I see what she texts. And I've caught her
and she just lies. She just lie
straight to your face. She'll start twirling her hair,
and I catch her and everything. Just twirling her hair.
That's her sign? That's her tell? ROSENZWEIG:
That's the sign. Yes. That's her tell? See, right there,
she was giving us
an example. That's her thing. Don't forget the classic,
"My phone died." Yes, I heard that. I heard that. You know,
phones die at the most
inopportune times. It's always
when the other person
is looking for you. And you're gone,
and you've been gone, and you've been gone
longer than you said
you going to be gone. That's when
the phone dies. Doesn't anybody
have a charger
in their car? Nobody has a charger,
nobody has an outlet,
nobody has anything. You know what
she does that's slick? She leaves the phone on, that way the messages
go through and she can say, "See, my phone
didn't die one time." He has my location
on his phone. He tracks my location. The problem is
that when you're
telling him, "I'm going to be gone
for 30 minutes," and then you end up
being gone for two hours, that will raise
some suspicion. It's not my job to show him
every paycheck I get. But, Ms. Rankin,
think of it this way, what if he did that?
What if he said, "Hey, I'm going somewhere,
I'll be back in
a half hour. "And I'm going
to pick up some money." He comes back
two to three hours later, no explanation, no money. How would that make you feel? She would snap. Honestly? Honestly,
I wouldn't... It wouldn't bother me
because I know he wouldn't be getting
another girl. Come on, Ms. Rankin. He looks like
a kneecap
with hair. He's not going
to be getting
other girls. I'm not worried about it. A kneecap with hair? He got you. Hey, wait. You say
he's not going to get
any other girls. He got you. I'm the best
that he's ever got. You know, with that attitude,
that might not necessarily
hold out to be true. You know, he's accusing you
of cheating. Yes. JUDGE KEITH:
And if he finds out
you're cheating, you know,
this relationship
could be over. RANKIN: Yes, Your Honor. You realize that, right? I do. JUDGE KEITH:
And then, you'll be
in the dog house. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) He's a leprechaun
and I'm his pot of gold. Have you caught her
with any other issues
with any other dogs? Not any other dogs
but she did pick up
this new job as a reptile assistant. Yeah, she's
a snake handler now. I like snakes. Okay. All right. I'm good with wrangling snakes. JUDGE DANA:<i>
I don't like snakes.</i> So, that's just a lot,
right there. So, if I do that... No, don't do that. Yeah, that's
creeping me out. ROSENZWEIG: So, Your Honor,
she's supposed to be working
sis to eight hours a week at this job. JUDGE KEITH: Okay. Okay. The first day
she goes to work, she's texting me.
She's telling me
it's the worst job ever. And then, all of a sudden
she just disappears. You know, and I understand
she would have to put
the reptiles away... I'm working. ...and go back to the person's house.
So, she says she's working. Okay? But, you know,
where did she go
for three hours when the phone is off
and all that stuff? JUDGE DANA: That's where
the questions are. I was doing an
educational program. I bring the reptiles
to schools, birthday parties, and I give a whole program
for little kids. Is there any reason
why you can't share
with him what you're doing? I told him I was going...
He knows what I'm doing. JUDGE DANA:
Well, clearly he doesn't. It's his insecurities. In the beginning. You say you're
handling snakes and he thinks
you're being a snake. Wow. Wow, Mr. Cutler,
you just went there. Am I right? That was good. That one hurt
a little bit. Look, these
are his allegations
against you. She's a snake. She's a snake. You know, it's very important
for me for Mr. Cutler
to be happy. He knows who I'm with, he knows what I'm doing, he knows where I'm going. And, that way he knows
that I'm not handling snakes. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And let's put it
in your world,
in your terms. Because, you say
you're the best
he's ever gonna do. Yes. JUDGE KEITH:
And so, if you're all that, then you should
put his mind at ease
and let him know that you're into him,
if you are. Do you love him? Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE KEITH:
Do you care about him? Yes. JUDGE KEITH:
Mr. Rosenzweig,
do you love her? Yes. JUDGE KEITH:
Do you care about her? Yes. JUDGE KEITH:
You want to be with her? I would like to with her.
If she wasn't being shady
it'd be completely different. JUDGE KEITH: Right. So, let me just
say this, love. I think we have enough.
And what we have is he believes
that she is cheating because her attitude
has changed at the
dog training. He found condoms. A specific kind of condom
in her purse, and they don't
use condoms. And then he says
his girlfriend is lying. He believes she's lying
about the kind of snake
she's handling. She's out there
handling snakes
but which one? Right, and the
text messages. The looks you get
when she's secretly texting
while they're together. And because of that
he believes she's cheating. And if she's cheating,
he's done. Yeah, I'm out. Right here, on their
two-year anniversary,
it's up or down. All right. Well, to get
to the bottom of these
cheating allegations, this court has done a full
and complete investigation. At this time, the court
will call forensic voice
analyst, Guy Wolfe, to determine,
"Is she cheating?" (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) JUDGE KEITH:
Good day, sir. How are you? I'm wonderful, Your Honor.
How about you? Doing well.
It's good to see you. GUY WOLFE: You too. Thank you
for being here. WOLFE: Thank you. Would you state
your credentials, please?
For the record. Yes, Your Honor. I'm a forensic
voice analyst, and I have been
in law enforcement
for more than 23 years. Explain to our litigants
how forensic voice
analysis works. Forensic voice analysis
works on the spoken word. When you speak
you have two frequencies
in your voice. AM and FM. And when you tell a lie
the FM frequency goes away. It shows up a certain way
on our computer, as you see her
on the monitor. One of the things
we also do is we will ask a series
of baseline questions to kind of get an idea
of what someone
is going to respond or how they're going to respond
or even how they're going to do
on the test. Did you learn anything
during your pre-test
with Ms. Rankin? Yes, I did, Your Honor. Now, before I conducted
the voice analysis, I asked Ms. Rankin
how she would do
on the test. Ms. Rankin replied,
"I plead the fifth." JUDGE KEITH: Ms. Rankin? Yes, Your Honor. Why did you
plead the fifth? I was really nervous. I've never taken anything
like this before. And, I don't know
how much I trust the results. You don't trust
the results or you
don't trust yourself? The results. And you understand
this is what they use in law enforcement? WOLFE: Yes, Your Honor. And this is
the way that you all
catch criminals? Yes, ma'am. So, is there anything
you need to tell him? Because, we're going
to get the results. And these results don't lie. No, I have
nothing to say. JUDGE DANA:
You have nothing to say. No. JUDGE DANA: All right. The results don't lie
but the question is,
do you? Hmm. We'll find out. All right,
Mr. Wolfe. No, you will find out. Just being real clear. Let's take a look
at the first question
you answered, Ms. Rankin. The day your boyfriend, Mathew,
found condoms in your purse, did you buy those condoms
to have sexual intercourse
with another man? No. What did
the forensic voice
analysis determine? The forensic
voice analysis determined
that she was being... Deceptive, Your Honor. JUDGE DANA: Like I said, you going to find out. I don't... I don't trust
these results. There's nothing
to not trust, Kellie. You don't trust
your results... Go ahead, love. We're in the same place. I know. But you do it. You do it. You don't trust your results
because you think
something is wrong or you don't
trust your results
because they found you out? I think something is wrong. I've never cheated
on him, ever. Or planned on it. JUDGE DANA: All right. Let's take a look
at the next question. The day you say you worked
a reptile assistant job did you have
sexual intercourse
with another man? No. What did the forensic
voice analysis determine? The voice analysis determined
that she was being deceptive,
again, Your Honor. All right. This is ridiculous. JUDGE DANA: It is. And, I think you think
it's ridiculous for one reason and I definitely think it's
ridiculous for another one. Let's take a look
at the final question. Since the beginning
of your relationship, in October of 2016, have you had
sexual intercourse with any man
besides your boyfriend,
Mathew? No. What did the
forensic analysis
determine? The voice analysis determined
that she was being deceptive,
Your Honor. I... No. No. No. No. I don't believe that. I'm done
with this relationship. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) That's the... RANKIN: I'm pissed. And that's the best
you can do? Yeah, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. Well, I'm kind of
done with you. RANKIN: I'm kind of done. I'm kind of done. Would you escort her out? RANKIN: Yes. 'Cause we both done. I'm out of here. JUDGE DANA: Mr. Rosenzweig, I don't know how you put up
with that for as long
as you have. I'm done with it now. Yeah. And you deserve better. Yeah, she'll sleep
in the dog house. She's going to sleep
in the dog house. JUDGE KEITH:
You kind of knew it
in your heart. Yeah, I know my gut.
My gut's always... I have very strong intuition. And usually when I think
something like this,
I'm correct. JUDGE DANA:
Let me just say this, you're a nice guy. And you seem like your heart
is in the right place. You deserve a woman who's going
to appreciate you for that. Who is not going to call you... Thank you. A kneecap with hair. You deserve
better than that.
