Mr. Singleton, you claim that your wife, the defendant, miss gray, has never been honest with you about the child she claims is your daughter. During a heated argument, you claim she told you that you may not be the father of threeyearold aariyauna, and youve petitioned the court for a paternity test and declared that if you learn the child is not yours, the marriage is over. Yes, your honor. Judge lake now, miss gray, you admit you do not know for sure if your husband is your daughters biological father. You also desperately want todays results to know if you and your husband can have a future together. Now, mr. Singleton, how did you find out your daughter may not be yours . Well, i got a phone call from her at the Doctors Office, actually. We had had an argument recently, she got with him. Brieauna no, actually, you cheated on me, and thats the reason why i went with my ex. I cheated, yes, but you went to your ex immediately. No, we wasnt together, so it was not called cheating. So, in the beginning of the relationship, theres cheating. Before there ever was a marriage. Yes. Judge lake both of you. Well, i wasnt cheating. We werent together. Maurice she claims to not be cheating, but what im saying is is that we had an argument, she immediately went to him. Like, there was no question of it, you know what im saying . Brieauna what was i supposed to do . Maurice what were you supposed to do . We just had an argument, that dont mean you gotta go and mess with your friend. I went through your phone records, and i found you were talking to females at three oclock in the morning. So, miss gray, what youre saying is youre in this relationship, and you look and see some text messages, and you realize hes up to no good. Yes, so thats why i went with my ex. And we didnt have no protection. Judge lake with your ex . Yes. Maurice exactly. But that was two weeks after. Maurice exactly, thats what im saying. You had all the respect in the world for the fact that i was cheating. Hold on. You had all the respect in the world for the fact that i was cheating. Supposedly, right . But then, the thing is, you turned around and you didnt respect yourself by putting a condom on. Ive cheated many a times, im not gonna lie and sit up here and lie to the judge or lie to you or anybody and say i didnt cheat, but im gonna tell you one thing, i certainly didnt have nobody calling me about no babies. Whatever. So, at some point, despite all this cheating, you get back together. Yes. And that is when she called and told me from the Doctors Office, that she was having a baby. So, were on the phone, and im excited, im having a nice conversation, im still talking, shes quiet. Im like, okay, well, im happy. Im talking about, oh, were gonna put this together, im gonna change. I quit cheatin, all that, thats what was going through my mind, thats what im telling her. And then, she pauses me and goes, but its not yours. I told him, i said, i was with my ex and its a possibility she may not be yours. You laid it all on the table. Oh, no, no, you didnt say it was, no, you said, i had sex with my ex. We did not use protection, and im telling you its not yours, i dont want you around. I wanted something new. Oh, so now you are admitting that what hes saying is true. audience gasping you told him, straight up. Brieauna yes. This babys not yours. I told him. I believe the only reason why were here today is so he can get a way out. All of a sudden he wants to get a dna test. Well, yeah, well, um, miss gray, when you look at a man and tell him the baby is not his, i mean, thats a capital d for doubt. He shoulda gave me a pass, he cheated on me. But its not about the pass of cheating, its about the fact that you looked at the man and told him, its not your child. So if there was any door of doubt to be opened, you just pressed it right on open and marched through it. Exactly. audience applauding thats what i need you to understand. You get that, right . Yes, i understand. Judge lake hes gonna always hold that in the back of his mind. I understand but i thought he was different. He wasnt. Im used to dating thugs, im not used to dating good guys with the glasses and the good job, im used the going after guys that hustlin and. Thats what i like my ex is in jail right now. Let me give you a little woman tip. Go after the ones with the glasses and the good job. audience applauding thank you. Judge lake moving on. At some point, after telling you the baby was not yours, she had to have told you that the baby was yours. Exactly, your honor. Judge lake when did this happen . The guy went to jail, so then all of a sudden, here comes the new story, oh, well, its your baby, i added the months up right, and this is actually your baby. So, in congruence with how i felt the first time. In congruence . Maurice yes. You better go ahead with the argument. audience applauding go ahead. Go ahead, now. The same way i felt when she initially called is the same way i felt when she told me that it was mine. Okay, but why you trying to sit up here and make me look like the bad person . Maurice cause you are. What about all the pictures, and how you were calling other girls nicknames, and. What about that . I mean, you know, people do that. Youre supposed to be at work. Yeah, but. Talking to females. Judge lake stop mr. Singleton, i listen to a lot of cases from this bench, but you cheatin, now you tellin him hes cheatin, hes telling you, youre cheatin. Tit for tat, though. Judge lake cheatin and cheatin and cheatin and cheatin. That dont make it right. It is so tit for tat, and the most ridiculous part of it is that you all are stuck on the tit for tat, and not understanding that youve got a child here audience applauding that doesnt want any part of that game. Judge lake look at her brieauna and she loves him, so i dont even know why hes putting us through this. Because when the baby came out, i had to have fifty Million People come up and ask me a lot of questions, why does she look like that . Just because shes light skinned . I even had to go and look up on like. To see different genetics, to make sure. You know what im saying . The only place in her face where she looks like me is right here in her eyebrows and her nose. Well, im glad you looked up and found the answers so that you can understand that children come in all skin colors, its genetics. Do you understand . Yeah. So, i do understand, however, your doubt is real. Did you tell the man it wasnt his child . What was your point . I never told him that. Its mine, it aint mine, its mine. What is it . Have you ever told your ex that he was the father . I told him its a possibility. Aint nobody gonna send you money from jail on a possibility. Im hoping that the other guy is the father. Judge lake it has been determined, mr. Singleton, you. She doesnt know anything about all this, so im here to speak for her. . If so, call tollfree 855tvdna23. Thats 8558836223. You turned around and you didnt respect yourself by putting a condom on. I told him, i said, i was with my ex. Straight up. Brieauna yes. Judge lake this babys not yours. I told him. If there was any door of doubt to be opened, you just pressed it right on open and marched through it. Despite all of this tit for tat going on, you married her. I was trying to do the right thing. Did you tell the man it wasnt his child . What was your point . I never told him that. That is a lie. You got on the phone. I told you it was a possibility. No, you didnt say no possibility about nothing. You got on the phone that day from the Doctors Office and you told me, plain straight out, you said. So why did you marry me then . If. Because i love you. And theres no way. You love me but you talk to other females, and you sending naked pictures and stuff. I mean, i have some issues with that. We all got issues in here. But what im telling you is that ive made the right changes. We all got issues in here, right . Maurice everybody got issues. Who dont got issues . Okay, look, mr. Singleton, and im trying to understand yours, because as you stand here in your glasses, brieauna what about your kinky party that you wanna have . Man okay, i like to throw parties, i like to go to parties. He wanna have threesomes with me and stuff, so, i mean, if theres anybody thats nasty, its him. You cheated on me. Was i supposed to stay with you . You didnt have to name the baby after her. I didnt know judge lake as i was about to say, as you stand here in your suit, with your glasses, and your research, ill tell you what is not congruent. You seem, on the outside, to be a standup guy. And yet miss gray says youre having kinky parties, sending pictures to girls, and cheating. What does your Research Show about that . audience applauding you got a point. I mean, thats a valid point. Thank you. I make those sometimes. Thats very true. But what im saying is, i took the time to make vows. I put the ring on. Okay . You also took the time to talk to other females and be promiscuous. Yeah, but what im saying is, is once i put this on, so you cant look at me bad if youre out there doing the same thing. Yeah, but i didnt. And i wasnt cheating. So, since you put a ring on miss grays finger, have you cheated . In what sense of the word cheated . Audience oh let me tell you something, we dont have time for you to go research it, so we dont need you to use your book sense, use your common sense. I asked you an easy question. Now, give me the hard answer. Yes, your honor, i have been talking to other females while i have been married. Talking . Have you had sex with anyone else since youve been married . No maam, not at all. See, i havent been doing any of that. Nothing. My ex, he calls, and he has an issue with him calling, but. He calls, he sent money while she was pregnant. Everything. Like he was the daddy. And have you ever told your ex that he was the father . I told him its a possibility, but hes in prison, so. You did not say possibility to him. You couldnt have said possibility to him. Aint nobody gonna send you money from jail. Any man that has to sit in the house and listen to you talk on the phone with your ex, is gonna be a man that might be talking on the phone to some women at some point. Maurice exactly. This is about the lie that obviously she and him and her must have been perpetrating. Im hoping that the other guy is the father. Its mine, it aint mine, its mine. What is it .

I was born to the most irresponsible, selfish, immature person in the world. Autumn um, you know, she already had a threeyear old, when i was born. In the same situation, not knowing who her father was as well. So, my mother shouldve known better. Not to be sleeping with multiple people at the same time. Autumn first 10 years of my life, audience clapping i didnt even have a picture of this man. I took her over there several times. When we moved back finally, so i could meet him for the first time, he had passed away two years earlier. You know, this is. Valerie i took her back. Supposedly, who my dad is. You know, i never got a chance to know this person. And that kills me, you know, because i heard he was such a good person. Autumn you know, me not getting to know him. You know, its ruined my life. Its ruined all my relationships. Judge lake ms. Berube. You say its not your fault. But, you see how your daughter is hurting. Yes, ive. Bring her over there all the time to see him. Valerie he loved her. Not that i remember, though. He got in a relationship with a really bad person. I got married to a very controlling man. Valerie my exhusband moved me 1700 miles to arkansas. You know, they fight all the time. I moved back over there to california, so she could have a relationship with james. Autumn no, she depended on her ex. Hed already passed away. My birth certificate doesnt have his name on it. It has somebody elses name. That she was with at the time of my birth. Valerie that i was living with. That she was living with, so she always says. So, its not just her father . Its not who youve been told is your biological father. Valerie it was my first. Its a third person. Valerie . Relationship before her father. No, this is my first boyfriend, before i met her father. Valerie i put him on the birth certificate when she was first born. And what i heard from her was she only put his name on the birth certificate so he could claim me on his taxes. No, thats not true. Thats what she told me, and i didnt find that out, your honor. Until, maybe three or four years ago. Valerie no. You just, were not sure, who the father was . Valerie i was not sure, because. I was still with jay, with my ex. Then i got with james, two weeks later. But i never slept with the ex again. Judge lake ms. Chinglong, you say that. This has ruined your life. It ruined. This has, its. Tell the court why you feel this way . Autumn its about me being the oldest one that was in the household. She had two other girls from her husband. You know, she would, leave us all, leave me alone, to babysit them. So, either she could go to the casino. Autumn so, she could gamble anywhere, you know. Thats not true. Autumn that is true. She knows its true. Valerie shes not remembering. Autumn this is true. Autumn and then there were so many times, when her and my stepdad fought back and forth. This is not true because ive always been a loving mother to her. Ive always been her best friend. I dont even call her mother. I call her woman. She knows that. Audience oh autumn she sees it in my contacts, on my phone. I dont call her, mother. She has not earned that title. You call your mother, woman . Yes. Not my other daughters. Her other, you know, daughters, dont even speak to her anymore. Valerie yes, they do. My oldest sister, autumn you know, was raised on and off with her. Why are you over here lying . Im, you can talk to anybody about all this. This is all true. No, this is. I told you my mother is delusional. Shell never own up to anything and thats why were in this predicament. audience clapping she wont own up to anything. What are you talking about owning up . Whenever, we had moved back to sacramento, california, which is where i was born, and where were from. Autumn she had told me, hey, youll finally get to meet your dad. It was 1999. I was 10 years old. Um, whenever we tried to contact him, turns out he had passed away two years earlier, in the fire. And my mom, she was devastated. She was crying and she was uncontrollably this and that. But, i felt nothing. I didnt know this person. And how, i just, how can i be sad for somebody, that i dont know and that i dont know for sure its my father. I felt bad because i felt that he could be a good father. Autumn it depressed me. In your court papers, you said you were writing messages. Yes, there was a period of time. When i was just so depressed, i wanted to feel, you know. Like i guess what she felt, sadness and stuff. So, you know, i would take off the sheet of my twin mattress. And i would write all these messages. Autumn like, you know, um. And he had died with his son. An 18 month old son. So, it was him and the baby that died together. Autumn so, this was a brother. You know, potentially a brother i had, i never got to know either. So, i would write messages like. You know, james, if you can hear me, are you really my dad . You know, do you love me . Did you ever. Autumn you know, why wasnt he around . You feel emotional now, because you just. Judge lake feel like you lost valuable time for no reason . stuttering yeah, its like, i told you. Im nothing, im not like my mom and if, this person was my father, you know, i didnt get to know him. So, its just. You know, me writing that stuff. I was so depressed. And i just wanted him to contact me and let me know it was all right. And, you know, tell me why he wasnt around, you know, and all this. Valerie and that she always. It was too hard on me. And not having that opportunity really hurt . Autumn yes, it did.

We could never get a straight answer out of you. At all. I havent gotten one out, either, pretty much. We didnt hear a thing from her until after my brothers death and it became a Social Security issue. Valerie why didnt you contact me and tell me he died . Two years passed. Did you guys call me . To tell kathy we didnt know where you were. Me he died . God, i loved that man. Greg you left the state kathy you were in arkansas, ms. Berube. We didnt even know where you were. Yeah, its not my fault my exhusband moved me out there. Its not my fault. Valerie i came back in 2000 so she could have a relationship with her father. You made no effort. I moved back, i told my exhusband i was moving back so she could see james. Im not even. Judge lake listen. What is disturbing, to me, is how much the focus has gotten off of autumn, who is standing there, still trying to figure out who her father was. I want to know my family, if theyre my family, i want to know, now. I want to know myself. Yes, ma, james has passed away. Mister, lets have control in this court room. I did get to meet them when i was ten years old, after james had passed away. We got in contact with them, greg came to pick me up, he drove me and james son, we all went up to kathys house for thanksgiving and i had a wonderful two, three days with them. Greg yeah, we drove all the way to washington. They were so warm and welcome but we moved around so much after that, i lost contact with them. We didnt have their number. This is the first time i have seen them in 13 years. These people should have been in my life. I havent seen her since she was little. We set up the test, kathys number changed, she says this, but. I dont know if its cause she got sick. Greg never heard from a lawyer. I have lived in the same house. The only reason shes ever wanted a test after he passed was Social Security reasons, thats it. She wanted to do it valerie i went to coroners office. Before i was 18 so she could get Social Security money for me. Because she needed nice clothes. Audience wow. Woah. The only reason. Judge lake okay, lets get that fact into evidence, say that again . Right after we had found out he passed away, she contacted Social Security, trying to get Social Security for me. Valerie his ex was getting it for her son with him. Autumn yeah, but they were together and there was no doubt in that paternity. With me, with another man being on my birth certificate, and then she. Judge lake and what did you trying to get Social Security for a dead man. Think ms. Berubes motives were at that time . Money. Valerie well, Child Supports the law, hello . Money to help take care. Everybody knows that, Child Support is the law. Who broke the law . Kathy who broke the law . Child supports not the law. Valerie i said Child Support is the law and every child whos born enters Child Support. And theres a District Attorney letter that i have with james name on it. But theres a birth certificate with somebody elses name on it. Exactly, because ever since. Which gave him, and gave us no legal right to it either. Hes not here to defend himself, but he would tell you, me and him, in our hearts knew she was his daughter, and we were gonna prove it. Thats what she says, but hes passed away, well never know if thats how he felt. My exhusband moved me across the country. How was i supposed to do it . Greg but you made no effort to contact us. I made an effort, i didnt have your phone number, i had to go through neighbors to find you guys. Okay, ms. Berube. Im trying to understand from their perspective what they believed your motives were. As you talk about how they didnt show up, and this person didnt do this, and that person didnt do that. Ill tell you what my. No, i dont want you to tell me anything. I want you to allow other people it wont be the truth anyway. Just to speak for a moment. I want to just look at you, ms. Myers, cause i see sometimes you becoming very emotional, and i can tell that this is important to you too. I have a terminal illness right now, i have maybe two years to live, and i need to know that shes my grandchild. I want to spend time with her. I want to know her. I want to know that ive got another niece. Id like to know that, ironclad, 100 , so she can be a part of my life. Kathy and its not that we wouldnt have loved her before but there were so many stories being told, and she was so far away. Theres so much doubt that i dont blame them at all for not. You know. They didnt know for sure, i wouldnt. Kathy weve wasted so many kathy years, i mean, theres so much time. Ms. Chinglong, what would it mean for you for them to be your family . Its cause, my mom. We dont have a lot of family. My moms parents, they roughly get along, not really, and. I have sisters and they dont get along with her either, im the only person my mother has. Like i said, im not like her, and i wanna know who im like. What ive been told about james was that he was nice and kind, and he laughed a lot, he smiled a lot, and that is just like me. Judge lake yes. I wanna know if this person is mine so i can get to know my grandmother and my uncle. Judge lake thats wonderful. Absolutely. Theres more family, i dont know where the other half of me comes from. So, i believe this court has heard enough, and it is time to hear the results. Jerome, do you have the envelope . Jerome i do. Here you go. Now, before i read these results, i want everyone to understand how the court was able to get this dna testing done, even though mr. Audiss, her alleged father, is deceased. Its called reconstructive dna and just so people understand, i asked dr. Baird from dna diagnostics to explain briefly how this process is done. If youd look at the monitor here. Judge lake. Reconstruction testing is the kind of testing where we test relatives of a deceased alleged father, to determine if he could be the biological father of a child. Thank you to dr. Baird for that. All right, lets go to the results. Judge lake in the case of autumn chinglong, it has been determined, mrs. Chinglong, james audiss. Your mommas crying for you.
