Please be seated. Hello, Your Honor. Hello. This is a case of Hicks v. Smith. Thank you, Jerome. Good day, everyone. AUDIENCE: Good day! Ms. Hicks, you say the sins of your past have brought you into court today to save your relationship. You are petitioning the court for a DNA test to prove that the defendant is the father of your 3-month-old daughter, Honesty. Is that correct? Yes, Your Honor. Mr. Smith, you say you have medical evidence to prove you are not Honesty's father. And if that's not enough, your bombshell witness will close your case. The plaintiff's very own sister says you are not the father. Jerome, please escort her in. Can I have you go right up here on the left side? (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hop on the other side. No problem. JEROME: Good. So, Ms. Hicks, how does it make you feel hearing Mr. Smith deny paternity? I know I've only slept with him. And I know who my children belong to. Like, hearing this from him, and him getting it from my own full-blooded sister. Carlisha. It just bores me. Tell the truth. It bores me. So, Ms... Your Honor, I got something to say. She telling false lies, okay? I know for a fact that he was not the only one she was sleeping with. I guess you're there in the same bed with me when I'm sleeping with these people, I guess. We were having a threesome, I guess. Okay, anyways, Your Honor. She was double-staying me for some time, okay? From what I know, my sister's a cheater. She been like that her whole life, okay? (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) JUDGE LAKE: So, Mr. Smith. DAVIAN: Yes, Your Honor. You hear the allegations that have been stated thus far. This is what leads you to believe you are not the biological father of Honesty? Yes, Your Honor. Explain. DAVIAN: I used to work out a lot. And one time, I strained myself too hard, and I had to go to the hospital. And the doctor told me that I couldn't have kids. That my testicles had dropped by that time. You submitted some evidence to the court concerning that. I'd like to look at that. (JUDGE LAKE READING) This is what the doctor diagnosed you with? Yes, Your Honor. And so... (JUDGE LAKE READING) So, you believe you can't have children? Yes, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: And this is what you were told by a medical professional? Yes, Your Honor. Did you inform Ms. Hicks about this when you all were in a sexual relationship? No, Your Honor. He never informed me about any of this. When he did tell me, this came up like two months after Honesty was born. Like, she's living proof that you can have kids. I didn't make this baby myself. Girl, you know dang well that is not my baby. I can't climb on top of myself to get pregnant. Please. DAVIAN: You know dang well that is not my baby. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) So, Mr. Smith, you seem confident. You say she knows good and well that it's not your child. Yes, Your Honor. And why do you think she knows that if you... You say you informed her about the fact that you couldn't have children? Yes, Your Honor. I told her. Once her son was born, she was cheating a lot of the time with multiple men. You know that for certain? Yes, Your Honor. How do you know that? Explain. Her sister used to tell me that she used to sleep with this guy and that guy. And I didn't believe her at first. But, until it started coming to me, about the dudes she talked to, all the time friendly with, I believe she did. So, Ms. Hicks, you were the informant? You were the person telling Mr. Smith everything your sister was doing? Why would you do that? Y'all don't know my sister like I do. Okay? And besides, Davian is a sweet person. You know what I'm saying? I think he deserves to know what goes on behind his back. So, you felt sorry for Mr. Smith because you felt like he was a good guy being taken advantage of by my sister. QUENTARA: Mmm-hmm. And you'd know, good and well, he was not the only potential father. Mmm-hmm. There's multiple guys. (SMIRKS) What was the nature of this relationship? Were you all committed? Or were you all just dating? What were you all... You see, Your Honor, we were in a relationship. We technically still are, but, these lies that she's pushing in his ears, and everybody else. Hold up, I don't push no lies in his ears. It's causing problems, Your Honor. It really is. She believes her own lies, okay? (CHUCKLES) QUENTARA: They come true in her head, I don't know. And once again, I guess you're there with me while I'm sleeping with these men. We're having a wang dang, ain't it? Yup. Trial wheels, I've been right there. We're threesome-ing now. Maybe even a foursome since he's so sure. (QUENTARA CHUCKLES) DAVIAN: Your Honor. Yes, Mr. Smith? I went through her phone and found text messages. And it said, "When I can get that kitty cat?" (AUDIENCE EXCLAIMING) Oh, you saw a text message? Yes, Your Honor. And you submitted your recollection of that exchange to the court. JUDGE LAKE: The other guy said, "I miss that kitty cat." And Ms. Hicks responded, "You know he leaves "so you can come over anytime." DAVIAN: Yes, Your Honor. You saw this message, and you feel like she was definitely sleeping around. Yes, Your Honor. Ms. Hicks, I have to ask you, did something similar to this come through your phone? I don't even remember that text message, Your Honor. I honestly do not remember this text message. I bet you don't remember when... Your Honor, I bet she don't even remember when he went to his grandma's house, because they got into it. She had another man coming in the bed, sleeping in his bed. DAVIAN: Yes, Your Honor. You hear me? Over there for two days. JUDGE LAKE: Another man? QUENTARA: Two days. Yes, yes. DAVIAN: Yes, Your Honor. Did you, Ms. Hicks? Like I said, I guess she was there to... QUENTARA: I was there. JUDGE LAKE: No, that's a yes or no. Do you remember? I did not have another man there. I know who my child belongs to. I know who every one of my children belongs to. Like, I'm not gonna sit up there and give my kiddie to this man and that man and that man... And I mess with one man for two reasons. So, I know who my child belongs to if I end up pregnant and I know who to come to if I end up with a STD. I'm not a nasty cheat. Never been one, and never will be. Mr. Smith, have you ever had occasion to witness firsthand the fact that she was with somebody else? DAVIAN: Yes, Your Honor. Tell about that dude that jumped out the window. The guy jumping out the window situation. What happened? DAVIAN: Well, I came out the car. I seen somebody jump out the window, and I'm knocking on the door for like 30 minutes. 30 minutes. But a guy jumped out the window, but you gotta knock on your own door. Exactly. Beautiful. And so, were you there when the guy jumped out the window? Oh, yes, ma'am. I was in my car. I'm looking at him running through the field. And it took her at least 30 minutes to open up the door. CARLISHA: The day he came to the house, he has a habit of "losing his keys." But, Ms. Hicks, let's get to the man jumping out the window or running through the field part. Your Honor, we stay on the second floor. We live in an apartment building. And we stay on the second floor. So, like his self, when he jumped out the window, like, I expected to God that he'd suddenly seen jump out the window, to be hurt just like he was. QUENTARA: It was warm. You're denying anybody jumped out the window. No one jumps out the window. JUDGE LAKE: But, you believe... With the... But, you believe, Mr. Smith, they jumped out the window 'cause you were coming back, and that person was in the house with Ms. Hicks? Yes, Your Honor. As soon as she opened up the door, she was acting like she was so tired, so sleepy. So, I said, "Why the window open?" She said, "'Cause I was hot", and it was cold outside, let me remind you. It's cold outside. That is a lie. All right, take me to the point you realize you're pregnant. Mr. Smith, he came to me and said I been sick, I been throwing up, and I been feeling funny. "So I think you need to take a pregnancy test." So, he goes to the store and comes back with a pregnancy test that has two in a box. I took the first one, it came out negative. He was like, "Go ahead and take the other one. "So, we can see the results of that one." So, I take the other one while he's right there in the bathroom watching. And it immediately pops up that it was positive. And so, he was like, "I knew it! I knew it!" He was happy. He was happy! So, all this, this doubt in him, I don't get it! He can't have kids, so he don't think the baby is his. So, Mr. Smith. You found out she's pregnant. Were you happy about it? I'm faking it to her, but I know in my mind... Faking it? JUDGE LAKE: Oh, you were faking it to her? Yes, Your Honor. There is no way anybody can fake anything. I mean, at the hospital, you were there. He was like, "Oh, she look just like me. "She's so beautiful." Where is all this doubt coming from all of a sudden? JUDGE LAKE: So, when you saw the baby, Mr. Smith, did you feel like the baby looked like you? Did you feel like you were excited? What's going on here? Your Honor, because I felt sorry for her, because she could have lost her life... You chose Honesty. You chose one of her middle names, which is Monique. I'd never made you name her... Mr. Smith. Do you have any other kids? No, Your Honor. JUDGE LAKE: You don't? No, ma'am. So you believe it's the hypogonadism that contributes, or has affected you so that you could not father any children? Yes, Your Honor. I want to learn more about this medical condition, so I'd like to call on the expertise of Dr. Jameelah Gater. Jerome, will you please escort the doctor into the courtroom? JEROME: Yes. JEROME: Watch your step, come on up. Hi, Dr. Gater. Hi. Thank you so much for joining us again. I need to talk to you today about a medical condition Mr. Smith, uh, said he was diagnosed with, several years ago, called hypogonadism. Yes. He says he was told that because of a strain he'd experienced while lifting weights, that he is now unable to father children. So I first want to understand more about what this condition is exactly. So, hypogonadism is when the body doesn't produce enough testosterone. You can either be born with it, or you can develop it later in life. Usually from things like infection. Or an injury to the testicles can also cause it. But, nature gives us two testicles. And so, usually, it has to be a profound injury to, not one, but both testicles, to actually cause hypogonadism. Mmm. So, Mr. Smith, did this doctor tell you that one of your testicles was injured, or both? He told me both. All right, so now, I want to understand based upon his testimony, does hypogonadism affect his ability to have children, conclusively? Well, it's usually for good. But it depends on the individual. So, usually with hypogonadism, you have low testosterone, but many males still produce some testosterone. Testosterone is the signal for the body to produce sperm. So, it may affect his sperm count. And it really just depends on how low the sperm count, and if he has enough sperm to actually be able to father a child. Now that you've heard that, Mr. Smith, what do you think? I still don't think that baby is mine, Your Honor. "That baby." But you up here taking her to all your family houses, talking about, "Y'all see my baby? She look just like me!" You feel that a child is not yours, you're not gonna take this child to all your people. You're not. Why are you taking the baby around your family, Mr. Smith? Because I'm like... I raised her own son as mine's. And you know, I don't like people like that to be deadbeat. So, you say, you're not taking her because you believe she's yours, you're taking her to be kind, and you would not want what happened to her son, to be repeated with this baby? Yes, Your Honor. And so the stakes here are very real, because you all are still in a relationship. CARLISHA: Yes. And now I have to prove the paternity of my daughter in showing that my daughter is his, biologically. And I can see that hurts you. Very. It devastates the... (SIGHING GRIMLY) Why do you say it devastates you? Because it's coming from my full-blooded sister. We had the same mom, same dad. And I don't know why this would come from you anyway. Because I know what you do, Carlisha. As close as we are. We're very close. You are? I sure can't tell. Your Honor, we argue just about every day. The same way I take care of him, the same way I take care of her. What? What're you saying? I basically have to change their diapers along with my kids too. Oh, baby, you ain't got no change of diapers with me. So, it seems like there're so many relationships that are on the line here. Not just Mr. Smith's with Honesty, but also, Mr. Smith's with your son that he says he raised. Also between you and your sister. You and Mr. Smith. I mean, there are just so many layers to this story. CARLISHA: Yes, Your Honor. And I see the hurt in your eyes. I mean, you all argue back and forth and everybody wants to discount what you feel, but this has to be bothering you. QUENTARA: Your Honor, and I love my sister. I really do. I truly love my sister. I'd go to the end if I have to. I would die with her. CARLISHA: Love is not trying to mess up someone's relationships. I'm not trying to mess up your relationship. I don't be in your relationship. You have no business in mine. They say sisters argue, fuss and fight, you all have proven that right. Before I go to the results, Ms. Hicks, you may have a seat. These results are ultimately for Ms. Hicks and Mr. Smith. Jerome, I'm ready for the envelope. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) These results were prepared by DNA Diagnostics and they read as follows. In the case of Hicks v. Smith, when it comes to 3-month-old Honesty Smith, it has been determined by this court Mr. Smith, you are the father. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDING) All right. What next? CARLISHA: Thank you so much, Your Honor. I am so glad that I came here today to get these results, so I can finally be at peace. Me and my daughter can live with this man who I plan to marry someday. I really love him. I do. And I just hope sometime, at some point of time, this die down between me and my sister, like... This is a perfect moment to begin again. It really is. You know, my mother had six sisters. My mother comes from a family of 10 children. And now my mother has passed away, but the relationship I have with my aunties, my mother's sisters? They're the closest connection I have to my mother. And so, I want Honesty to be able to have a wonderful relationship with you. So, we gotta be careful going forward, how we treat one another. And look, we don't go off looks in this courtroom, but I will say, Honey, that little baby look like you in a onesie, Mr. Hicks. (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) When I turned over there, and looked at that little baby, I said, "That look like Mr. Hicks "with a leopard onesie on." (AUDIENCE LAUGHING) So, you got a beautiful little girl who looks just like you. And I want you to take care of her and love her mother. And figure out how to get this family on the right track. All right? Yes, Your Honor. I wish you the best of luck. Court is adjourned.
