00:00Let me see if I understand at least the beginning of this story.
00:04Mr. Diamond and your daughter, whose name is Kimberly.
00:07Yes, ma'am.
00:08Dated for a while, but then became friends.
00:11Yes, ma'am.
00:12Right?
00:13To a certain extent, yes.
00:14Where am I mistaken?
00:16We departed for roughly a year or two as bitter enemies for quite some time.
00:23The reason for that was we had problems with her mother when we were living together,
00:27and she interfered constantly.
00:30But then you moved into her house.
00:32Yes.
00:33Once I know shame on you, twice shame on me.
00:37You let him move into your house after he and your daughter were no longer together.
00:42He tried to get back in Kim's good graces, and they had become friends,
00:46and he was coming over, and they went dancing a couple of times as friends,
00:51and I really thought that he'd grown up and that he was taking responsibility for his life.
00:56And he came to me and, you know, needed a place to live,
01:01and I, you know, told him I was, you know, going to Texas for a traveling nurse assignment.
01:07Is that what you do for a living? You're a nurse?
01:09Yes, ma'am. I'm an RN, labor and delivery.
01:11And so I thought, you know, this might be kind of nice because then she wouldn't be alone at night.
01:18Just Kim really lived in the house?
01:20And my granddaughter, Brittany, who is six years old.
01:24So you let him move in. What was your financial arrangement with him?
01:28That he pay his rent, and he pay half the utilities and his food, half the cable,
01:35and all of his phone calls.
01:40But that's not exactly what happened.
01:42Well, let's hear what happened.
01:46Well, I, he was starting a new business with a friend, and they talked me into investing $1,000.
01:54I was a little bit skeptical, but David promised me that I would get my money.
01:58Michael.
01:59Mr. Diamond.
01:59I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
02:00Go ahead.
02:01He promised me that I would get my money back, you know, that I wouldn't have a problem.
02:06And it looked pretty decent, you know.
02:10And, I mean, he, he just swore up and down that I would, you know, I wouldn't lose my money.
02:15And, um...
02:15But you ended up losing your money because the business failed, according to your complaint.
02:19Right. It did.
02:20How much money does he owe you in rent?
02:22Um, I went month by month. I didn't do it by, um, by that.
02:27He owes about $1,000 in rent from October, November, December, and January, and February was $2.50 apiece.
02:35He owes for a cable bill. He owes for a gas bill and electric and phone.
02:42How much is all of that together?
02:43$1,000. And then I loaned him money. I've got the, the checks here.
02:50And it all comes to $5,736.
02:54Well, if you've got the checks, did he pay you?
02:57No. He stopped payment on some of them.
02:59Can I see those checks where he stopped payment?
03:02Note the date on those, please, Your Honor.
03:08The last month he was there, he stopped payment on them after he told me to, to put them in to semi-country where I live.
03:15And then I had to go make the $200 payment.
03:20To cover the checks that he stopped payment on.
03:27Oh, this was a $650 amount of money that is your check to him for a loan.
03:34Yes.
03:34And another $200 loan.
03:36Mm-hmm.
03:37Made out to David.
03:39Yes, ma'am.
03:39Did he ever repay these loans?
03:42No, ma'am.
03:44He just, he always gave me a con story that he owed his family money and that he had to pay them back first.
03:50And, and then he'd get around to paying me, but it, it never came.
03:54So this is for the rent and these other amounts.
03:57Right.
03:57For his rent.
03:58This alone is almost $1,000, these loans.
04:02All right.
04:02Now I've read your answer, Mr. Diamond.
04:04And your answer, your, it's like we're living in two separate story books.
04:09You say that you had absolutely no obligation to pay anything because he was supposed to be the fix-it person around the house.
04:15And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and
