  Speaker 1: It's she's suing Ebanie Williams for five thousand dollars for
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: SUV damages.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: You're ready sound.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Arianna agreed to meet her friend Ebanie at the park.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: They both have children and they were going to do
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a play date and uh.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: But before.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Arianna could go to this playdate, her ex calls her
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: the father of their children and says, hey, I'd like
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to take the kids for a little while you're pregnant.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'd like you to get some rest a nice fellow there,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and uh, at the time. You know, when you're when

  Speaker 1: you're pregnant, you get you're tired, you take rest when
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you can get it.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: And so she did take him up on that offer.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And so she calls Ebanie and tells her, Uh, the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: that plans change, I'm not going to be showing up
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for the play date. I'm happy to take the kids
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to them or something like that. Ebany says, no, thank you.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: So next thing you know, Arianna is hearing from her
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: friends that somebody is blasting her on social media, that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: somebody that somebody's Ebony. Ebany says, here's my story and
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm sticking to it. We did have plans. Arianna never
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: communicated with me that it was canceled until two hours
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: after it was supposed to begin. So my child, myself,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we're all ready to play at the play date and
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: we're just sitting around twiddling our thumbs. And so, yeah,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I was mad. I put her on blast. We see
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: some of these messages. They are not nice, the things
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that I wouldn't say. She does admit she went a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: little overboard on the social media. She feels bad about that,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: but it happened a little couple of fews, and a
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: couple of other things.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Letters don't say the letters, A couple of things, A couple.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: There's a couple of seas Wow, South Carolina. Huh.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Ariana tries to reach out to make things better. She
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: feels bad. Clearly Ebany is upset. Ebany is not responding
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to her messages, so she decides I'm going to show
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: up at her place and try to make things right.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: This is a friend that I care about her. Ebany
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: comes out and says, listen, I've got kids, you're pregnant.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I ain't trying to fight right now, but they start arguing.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Ebany claims that Arianna pepper sprayer. Arianna says I did
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: not pepper spray her. She tried to pepper spray me,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and she's ashamed of it because some of that pepper
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: spray went back and got in her kid's eyes. She
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just pointed the peper, pointing it at Ariana.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: The wind brought it back. It was the wind was
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: stronger than the pepper spray. Yeah, I mean it's a liquid. Okay,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: you can see it. Uh yeah, I mean you don't
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: want to be anywhere around pep They can get you
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: they can get you.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: They ask both of them, do you own pepper spray?
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Arianna says no, Ebane says yes. They say, Ebony, you're
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: saying that she sprayed you, but you're the only one
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: in meeting to owning pepper spray.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Arianna gets in her car and she leaves, but late
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that night, Ebony shows up at her house. Ebane says,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I did show up. I got a message from her
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: threatening me, saying that saying that she's pregnant. Oh message,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. She got a message from a friend of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Arianna threatening her, saying, hey, Arianna is pregnant, but I'm not,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: and I'm coming for you. And so she claims that
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: she she showed up at Ariana's house and was like, hey,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you got we gotta squash it.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Like this is where this is. No more of this.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I can't have people threatening me. Blah blah blah. Ariana
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: claims that after she left, she saw Ebanie and a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: group of friends come back to her house and vandalize
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: her car by putting a candy bar in the gas tank,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: slashing her tires, and scratching up the paint.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: We see pictures. It is tough.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Ebanie says, I did come to her house, but I
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: did not come back later that night when I left,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: I left for the night.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: So's she's not admitting she did this. She's not admitting
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: she did seems like should be criminals, she says. Uh.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: She says she has a lot of enemies. They ask
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: if she knows who did it, and she says, I.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Do not know who. Oh boy.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: One of the judges says that this just it can't
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: just be about the playdate, Ebany, It can't just be
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: about the play date. And she says, started as the playdate,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: but then I was told that she had intercourse with
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: kid's dad. All right, that's a little bit, yes, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: asked him, and he said, yeah, we hooked up.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: What's it to you?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Arianna says, I have uh not hooked up with him.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I have messages from her child's father. Basically, all these
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: messages say is that he is sorry for the way
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that Ebane is acting. Wow, no messages about hooking up.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Ebany doesn't have any either. To Arianna, then brings up
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: her cousin. Her cousin's name is Arianna, not Arianna. It's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: not Arianna, It's Arianna. Aaron yes, So Arianna A R
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I A N A is the plaintiff here.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Her cousin is A R I O n A. Okay, Ariana.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: She says, I was at her house the night that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Ebony showed up banging at the door, and I'm here to.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Let you know she was clearly un him that evening. Okay,
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: that's it, Yes, sit out.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Ariana claims that Ebony once months ago, asked her to
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: go and vandalize someone else's car with her, and I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: have that text message to prove it. So this is
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: clearly something that Ebany has done before.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: We have some circumstantial evidence, but we don't have any
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: actual concrete evidence.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: We then see a vehicle inspection showing that what the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: new paint job would cost new tires, and the car
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: is going to need an entirely new fuel tanks and.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Chocolate bar, and.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: The hot bench is ready to vote on this and
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're gonna give their verdicts.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: It's tough. You don't have any proof you have. If
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: this was a court in front of a jury, there
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: would be evidence, but there would be reasonable doubts that
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: she did not do this. I don't think a good
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: conscience you can give her any of the money. I
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: do think two to one old guys the holdout. They're
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: going to give the money to uh to Ariana, all
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: of it. So they're all on board with this. Verdicts. Okay,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: what was wrong?
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: The verdict is this, you did not prove, okay that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: she did this. You have provided circumstantial evidence, and in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a civil court, which we are in, all you have
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to do is provide enough circumstantial evidence to make us
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: believe over fifty percent of likelihood that she did it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: We believe you've done that.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Wow, So they give her all the money. They don't
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: give her all the money. They give her the quotes,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: which was forty three to seventy. So I don't know
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: where she came up with the other you know, six
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars or whatever. Okay, give her forty three to seventy. God.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: I think the thing that did it was the text
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: messages of Ebony saying, hey, let's go vandalize someone's car.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: That's tough changer. So she's done it before she was
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: there that night. So the likelihood of somebody coming to
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: your house to confront you, and then in that same
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: evening someone went on coming to vandalize your car.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: That's tough. That's interesting. So there you go. Interesting.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I won't need to go back an interesting case an
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: interesting uh perverdict there, Yes, especially with no proof.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: But I like the way they explained it. La, let's
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: head over to Judge Mabeling maybebe uh Deborah Swanberg not Swanberg.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Swanburg is suing Frank Tag for eighteen hundred and fifty
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: dollars eight hundred and fifty large eeen and fifty eighteen
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: eight fifty for landscaping and one thousand and four it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: either emotional distress or defamation or something like that. Uh.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: So Deborah's like, hey, this all started when I moved
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: next door, mister Tag. Uh he met my son, Billy,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: who's four years old, and he looked at me and
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: told me that I should be married with a husband
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: and asked how I could possibly afford this house on
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: just my salary. Uh. Frank Tag says nothing when she
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: doesn't refute it, not even a little. Hey man, you
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: just got you got to say say that. Man, Yeah,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: it wasn't me, It wasn't me. Wasn't me, It wasn't me,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: It was else, somebody else, different, old white guy. He
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: also has a large dog that barks in the middle
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: of the night, gets into my yard ruins my flowers.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: At this point, Frank does pipe up and go, I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: don't know anything about the dog getting in your yard.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: So I went over, she should be married, how can
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: she afford the house? But you say, my dog goes
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: into your yard at night digs up flowers. If you, lady,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: you're you're lying. He goes, I don't know anything about
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: the dog getting in your and without missing a beat,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Deborah goes, of course you don't. Uh he has he
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: has this big eucalyptus tree in his yard and it's
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: not eucalyptus, it's eucalyptus short over Street. She's like, at
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: first it was just leaves that would drop into my yard.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And I noticed that the leaves had spots on them,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and I did some research and based on their appearance,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the tree was most likely diseased. So I told him,
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: these leaves are falling in my yard. Like, and this
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: was a sort subject because you have a tree in
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: your backyard and every year just dumps leaves into my pool.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And I've been telling you that it's diseased for the
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: longest time, and you don't. We're doing I do the research.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And this does leave.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Also, it also ejaculates a sticky subject a substance time.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: There's a I don't would not use the word to ejaculate,
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: but it does have there's some sap on the pool deck. Yeah,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and that's all. It's your tree. Yeah, so uh, I'm
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: not mad about it. So here's the thing. Uh, it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: a great tree. It's a wonder. It's a great tree
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: unless you live next door to it. And uh, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: would be willing to help you. Uh get that. I
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: got a bunch of it cut before you moved in. Actually,
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: if you can believe it, it's just it just goes back.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: That's the thing about thing about trees. But it's too
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: big and nice of ars. So Frank is like he knows.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: She came over and said, your tree disease. Something's gonna
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: happen to it. And then that is such.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: A random thing to do, to have some leaves in
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: your yard and be like, I'm gonna research it and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: then I'm gonna go share this information.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: It's a bit much. And then she's like, hey, we
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: started to having like bigger branches fall in the yard.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: It seemed to be a little bit of a safety hazard.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: He said, don't worry, I'll take care of it. Well,
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: weeks later, there's a huge storm. My kids in my bed.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: He's terrified. He's four years old, and we hear like
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: a tremendous sound and glass breaking everywhere. Eucalyptus tree has
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: fallen over, over the fence, crashed through the window in
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: to their kitchen. You know what this remind me.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: At my last place, there was a tree in the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: front yard just outside the fence, and my neighbor's parents
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: were visiting and he was a botanist. He came over
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: and he told me that tree is diseased. I told
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: my landlord, he cut it down.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Wow, there you have it. Fun fact for you. So
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: the fund has happened. Yeah, that didn't happen here. Instead
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: we get a picture of this top. The picture is unbelievable,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: like this fence is ruined, that part of the house
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: is ruined. Whole thing. So I went over. I had
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: to pack a bag for my kid and I we
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: had to go stay somebody where else because our house
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: was like wide open. And I knocked on his door
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: and told him what happened. And he said, contact my
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: insurance company and then I would make he would make
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: sure he took care of it. That's what he said. Okay,
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: So she contacts her insurance company and they paid for
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: eighty percent of the structure, restructuring of the kitchen, the
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: restructuring of the fence, and the interior decoration. That was
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: the policy. Frank tag immediately pays the other twenty percent.
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: No wow, says, heyre's my tree. I didn't take care
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: of it. Here's twenty percent, writes a check. No problem,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: it's a personal chat. How about that pays for it?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: No problem?
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Amazing, right, So this guy sounds awesome. Yeah, aside from
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: the initial statement, so got the fens for placed.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: So what her thing is is that her yard was
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: after the tree was removed, her yard was a wreck.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: So she got a landscaping quote to come out and
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: replant grass and plants for eight hundred and fifty bucks.
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: And then is asking for also one thousand dollars of
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: negligence on Frank's behalf because she asked him to deal
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: with the tree several times. If her and her boy
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: would have been eaten there, they could have been killed.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: And she believes Frank was negligent. So we go to
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Frank finally, which he doesn't say a whole lot.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: Where does that number of negligence come from? Those one
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars? She just says, came up with that. Yeah, yeah,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you all know, we all know what's happening there.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: Uh. Frank basically is like, first of all, I don't
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: believe I'm liable for any landscaping charges. I was happy
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to pay for the damages to her house. I was
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: happy to do it. I couldn't believe that this happened.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: I paid for it. The reason I don't think it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: liable is because her she didn't keep up her yard
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: with landscaping. Her yard was where her kid played. It
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: was a mess. There was barely any grass back there,
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: and the idea that I need to pay for new
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: grass to be planted. It's not about the money I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: paid twenty percent of this. It's about the fact that
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I don't need to pay this. I've done my part
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to make sure this was all fixed. Babeleine asked, do
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: you have pictures of her yard before the acting is?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Why would I have pictures of her yard before a
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: tree fell in it? That's that's creepy. Basically, uh, And
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: she goes, why are you liable for the landscaping but
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: you are for her kitchen. He goes, well, there's no
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: proof that the law is worse off now than it
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: was before the tree fell. And then Mabelene said, did
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: you go over there and look at the property after
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: this happened? He goes, I didn't. I didn't want to trespass.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: He goes, she said, well, why didn't you ask her
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: to go over there? And he goes, I just I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: just didn't do it. She goes, did you tell her
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: she asked her how she could afford the house? Did
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you really say, I'm surprised you couldn't afford the house
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: as a single parent. He goes, yeah, she's a single earner.
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: And you know when I bought this house. I'm a
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: widower now, but like when my wife and I bought
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: this house, it took both of our salaries to afford it.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: And so I just asked her, like I just said,
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: I was surprised she could afford it. And maybe he
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: doesn't like that. Do you know how much money she's made? No,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: how would you know how much her salary is? I
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: would not know it was about. He says, it was
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: a bad assumption on my part, your honor, I'm really
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: really sorry, and Mabelene basically breaks her foot off in
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: his backside. It's like, you're right, it's a bad assumption.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: How could you possibly speak like this? Blah blah blah.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Let's get back to the case at hand. And then
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: she's she's now ready to rule. So it's eight hundred.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: It's a thousand for negligence, eight hundred and fifty four
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the yard. And I will say this, the ruling here,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the judgment of if she gets the money or not,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: is there's no way for that to be surprising. But
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: why the ruling is what it is is very surprising
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: to me. And I learned something, So go ahead.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: I would personally say, I believe that you are responsible
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: for whatever you're able to make an insurance claim on.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: And so I would say that he's already done his
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: part here, and uh, I'm not gonna give her any money.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: She's gonna get the eight hundred and fifty bucks. Okay.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Why she's gonna get the eight hundred fifty bucks is
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: what's fascinating. Did you know that if a tree falls
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: in the forest, no knowing if your giant tree fell
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: onto my yard, I am responsible, not you. Huh. So
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: if that giant tree falls in my pool and it's
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: ruined by law, you don't have to pay me a dime.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: So why is he getting it? Why is she get
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: because he paid the twenty percent. What she said is
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is you admitted that this was your fault. You admitted
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: you should have done something about the tree. You admitted
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: it was your fault. You paid the twenty percent you paid,
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You told her you would take care of it. You
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: assumed blame, and as soon as you do that, you
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: assume the blame, and so you owe the eight hundred
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and fifty dollars. Interesting, so if your tree falls on
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: my lawn, I think you know what to do. But
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: remember we got all those trees that are in between
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: our two properties, and I think technically my property and
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I think it's close, it's right on the line. They
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: fall in your house, don't come crying to me. Now.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I think that this year is the year we probably
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: take care of the middle of the house.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I think so, I think it's no brainer. Then we
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: go from there. Yeah, I love it. It's just I
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: don't know what to do with the tree, because it's
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: such a good tree is barely a problem. It's really
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: such a contrition. It's so annoying. It's so annoying. Oh
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: we did never make congratulations any next time with another one.
• 20:58
