Like they were on this side in this area. Is there a camera like that? Um, I can check, but if you just give me a few minutes. Okay, thank you. Then a male comes up to him. They're still talking. Is that who? Okay. And then bigger woman with an orange shirt comes up and then gets up in his face. Then they get around. We'll see where she comes from. Yeah. So, it all took place right over here. I will. Whoever the the conversation. No, what I'm saying is I don't want you to Oh, I dealt with you before. No, I doubt it. You look familiar. Hold on. Hold on, Mom. Okay, go ahead. I'm sorry.

You have the right to remain silent, not answer any of my questions. There you go. So, question. When I opened your door, I noticed the bat. Yeah. Did you use that yesterday? I did. You use that? What did you What did you do with that? Um I I hit cuz he punched me in my eye as well as my lip and um a couple other things. Do you have any injuries? Uh definitely right here. Right here. My whole arm right here is swollen again. Right up here next to me in my belly. Again, I'm pregnant. Um my brother also witnessed the same thing and he was holding me down in the car. My brother walked out of the 7-Eleven and I asked him if that's my brother, can you please tell him to let me go at that point? That's when he snatched my keys as well to the place to jump. All right. So, slow down. So, I didn't hit him back till he hit me. Okay. So, you guys were in the vehicle arguing. Uh-huh. He was sitting in the driver's side. No, he I was sitting over there. He was sitting in the passenger. You were sitting in the driver's side. Okay. And then go from there. I was sitting in the car. He was arguing first before we got there, he was arguing going back and forth if we was going to put the money on the card to pay for the um pay this. Okay. So, at the end of the day, he couldn't put the money in the car. So, I was told my brother to just put it on his card. My brother got out went in the store. So, as my brother got out to go in the store, that's when he hit me in my face and it was out of nowhere. He just hit you. No, we were going back and forth before my brother got out. It's like soon as my brother got out, he hit me. My brother got out. But it's like he waited for my brother to get out and hit me. All right. So, couple questions. He hit you right here in the eye. He hit me right here. Right. Right here. Right here. You don't have any He9 his face was was all swollen up. I didn't hit him in the face. So that's what he said. He said my brother was beating him up. Not me. Right. He said you you you hit him in the face a couple of times. Oh Jesus. I did not hit him. So you don't have any bruising whatsoever on your face? Okay. Go get my brother, please. Can y'all go get him? Your brother's not an independent witness. So whatever he tells me doesn't mean anything to you. Okay. I didn't hit him at all in my face with my hand at all. at all in the car. I didn't hit him in the car at all. Okay. He hit me back because what he's telling me makes sense cuz he has bruising on his face. He's got bruising on his lower back and then what you're telling me doesn't really add up cuz you don't have any bruising. He is. He hit me here. And he's 14. The brother's still in the house. So yeah, he might come out. Number three. Anyway, he hit me here, right? I'm going tell you. To which you have no bruising. So if he did all this, why would you leave? I'm sorry. He pulled out a knife right out there. So, you didn't you didn't think to maybe pull over and call us? If he if he truly hit you that many times and you were bruised up really bad, you wouldn't think to call us. This is what happened. Right. We was in the car arg you just told me he hit you in the mouth. He Of course he in my mouth. When my brother came out, he You don't have any visible markings on your mouth. Just for the record what happened. I'm not changing what I'm saying because that's what took place. That's what I'm telling you. Okay. I got braces in my mouth. You see it right here? Do you see this? See this right here? You see my races? You see that out? You see that little piece right there? This is what I'm telling you. It's not like, okay, fine. I may not have this because I know this things right here. All of this right here. I do know also too. This is here. So, he did something. You saying he didn't do nothing because I don't have anything on me? 17. You saying he didn't punch me in my stomach because I don't have a bruise on me. I'm telling you what happened. I didn't punch him or hit him at one time with my hand. When he came back out, I told my brother to get my keys. He wouldn't give my brother the keys. He hit my brother. My brother got a big ass bust lip right now. Split. That's what I'm telling you. He hit my brother first. When my brother he hit my brother, my brother started hitting him. I didn't hit him one time. Not one time. Okay. That's what I'm telling you. At what point did the bat come in play? The bat came in when he got out. when he finished hitting my brother or my brother was hit him and they was on the ground tussling. You if you pull the cameras, you can see that they was on the ground tussling. When they was on the ground tussling, what took place then when he went to kicking, I hit him with the bat and it was on the back. I hit him in the back. Him and my brother were tussling back and forth like this. I hit my brother too with the bat because they were tussling back and forth like this on the ground at that point. When he got loose or they got loose from each other, he got jumped up and pulled out a knife. That's what took place cuz you you were smacking him with a bat across. I smacked him with the bat again. Yes, I did. I told you that when you just asked me that, but I'm telling you what took place to begin with. I have no reason to lie to you about anything. All right, go ahead and hang out with that deputy over there. Sure. Hey, let me just run this with Sergeant real quick. You got it right on your eye. No, it's right here. That's where it stings things at right there. And you mentioned your lip. Yeah. And you can see right here right there. Yeah. Yeah. I pregnant. He was punching me in the stomach. He only in his stomach one time though. How How many uh months are you? Um I should be about You just found out last week. So maybe about roughly about 8 months maybe. Well, 8 weeks I mean or seven six seven to eight weeks. So two months. Not quite two months. So between seven and eight. So he did say he did grab your hand. So don't scratch me. But he that's No, that's not what he said. Um, so if he punched you in the stomach? Yeah. You wouldn't think to go to the hospital or call us? I wasn't thinking about going to the hospital at all. I was so upset. My brother face is all Okay. This isn't about your brother right now. This is about you. You know what I'm thinking? Right. A and I I feel like the average reasonable person if they got punched in the stomach and they were pregnant, they would fear that the baby would somehow be affected by that and would reach out to medical attention or something. You didn't do any of that. From my understanding, I didn't do that yesterday. Okay. When I came back here, I was busy trying to make sure we covered this. I was thinking about what took place. I was thinking about Yeah. And I wasn't thinking about was my stomach hurt, anything like that. No, I know what it did, but my stomach wasn't hurting. I was That was my first thought. It really was not at the time. It wasn't. So, number one, if I don't have any insurance, that's number one. Okay. And again, like I said, I told you exactly every step that took place. Was I thinking if I get medical attention? No. I need livelihood. I got to be able to live. We paid money, spent money. He called the people and had the money people send him the money back only because it was um um he was on a reservation, right? I So, this is not this is not my first rodeo, okay? Okay. I've done this for a while. Mhm. Everybody go to the hospital. His injuries are consistent with his story. Your injuries are not consistent with your story whatsoever. Oh god. So even let's just say what you're telling me is the truth, which again I don't believe and the evidence doesn't show that it's true. Even if, let's just say hypothetically, what you're telling me is the truth, you have no legal reason to grab a baseball bat and go hit him. Okay? There is no legal justification for that. Okay? So, for that reason, you are being arrested for felony battery with a deadly weapon. Okay. All right. Go ahead. Put transfer on your back. Can you have them get my car? Somebody got to get my car. Do you want to leave all this stuff for him? I want my brother. All right. Go ahead. Take take off. Take off all your bracelets. No, just this don't worry about you you want you want to go with you to the jail. I explained that to you, ma'am, already. You explained that he didn't. If you refuse to understand it or listen, then that's on you. I already explained that. It's open. [Applause] Just so we're clearly right now, you are being arrested not for what happened between your brother and him. There is zero legal justification. It wasn't after the altercation stopped. It was during the It was during the fight during the fight between you and the brother. No, that's that's what you told me. I told you my brother was they were fighting. When him and my brother was fighting and he was tustling down there. Okay. When he went to kicking, I hit him with the back. That's exactly what I told you. It was not after the altercation was over. That's not what I said. I said during the altercation, your altercation with him, when that was over, you grabbed the baseball bat and you hit him. There's no legal justification for that. I'm going to pat you down for any weapons, anything like that on you, ma'am. I have nothing. You have absolutely nothing. I have nothing. [Music] [Applause]
