00:00All parties in the matter of Mattson versus Funderburg.

00:03Step forward.

00:0421-year-old Anna Mattson is suing her former friend,

00:0821-year-old Eric Funderburg,

00:11for medical bills and lost wages

00:13after Eric's dog knocked her to the ground.

00:17Miss Mattson, you and the defendant are friends.

00:20He has some dogs.

00:22You and he were taking a walk with the dogs,

00:24and you were taking some photographs or videos of the dogs.

00:28And one of the dogs either came, brushed by you,

00:31came by you, and you fell over.

00:33The dog was in the distance running around,

00:36and he called them back towards us, and then as he...

00:39You were doing a video. That was the intention.

00:41I was trying to take pictures, actually,

00:42but then it didn't work out because I couldn't see my phone very well,

00:45and it turned into a video.

00:47Well, so that's what I'm going to see.

00:49Anyway, you fell back.

00:50You had some medical bills. You think he's responsible.

00:53Yes, because his dog was off the leash.

00:55Nah.

00:55I'll take a look at your video before I dismiss your case.

01:01Some things are just an accident that you participated.

01:05No.

01:05Yeah.

01:06No.

01:07Yeah.

01:11My boys!

01:12Are you okay?

01:15I'm relaxing.

01:16Hey, are you okay?

01:19That was the whole idea.

01:20You were taking videos of the dogs coming back to you.

01:22Otherwise, why would your camera be out?

01:24I did not ever have a dog hit me in that manner.

01:28Okay. Listen to me.

01:30Not every accident is a court case.

01:32When you part...

01:33This is not a discussion of back and forth.

01:35I'm telling you, you have no case against him.

01:38The laws?

01:39You have no case against him.

01:40The laws that I...

01:41You were participating in an exercise,

01:43and the exercise was you knew that the dogs were off the leash,

01:47and the idea was for you to photograph them as he called them back.

01:52That's why your camera was out.

01:54If you were a stranger and walking by,

01:56and his dog knocked you over,

01:58you would be absolutely right.

02:00But you were participating in this process.

02:03Now, when you were doing that,

02:04were you standing up or were you on your knee?

02:07I was standing up.

02:08So you're standing up, videotaping them.

02:11Yes.

02:11And his dog had hit my knee.

02:13Okay.

02:13Running at high speed.

02:14Thank you very much.

02:15I explained it to you.

02:16We're over.

02:17May I present some evidence?

02:19No, we're over.

02:20I'm going to step out.

02:44I'm going to step out.
