Hey guys. Wanted to do something for you guys since it hasn't been done on this case yet. I just did a rough transcribe of the first part of Dale Smith vs Michelle Parker People's Court show. Please note that I know there are words spelled incorrectly but it's how they spoke so I spelle the words the way they pronounced them. Again, this is only the first part. I'll do the second tomorrow, unless somebody else gets to it before me. One thing I noticed about this part is that Dale & Michelle cheated on each other. Dale more than once, Craig's List was mentioned too, so only people I have heard of on Craig's List are ahhhem uhhh "paid advertisements" lmao! Dale mentioned Michelle was with Paul "last year". So that brings me to - who is Paul, is he married or have a girlfriend, kids, could he have gotten upset or whomever he's with gotten upset & followed Michelle, etc? Or, based on this handtyped transcript, it does show a pattern of anger between these two...only problem is that it shows Michelle in the same light as Dale in respect to anger and vindictiveness. They were both admonished, but imo even though it's not right that Michelle threw the ring at Dale, it's horrifying the way Dale treated her with the plastic bags, etc. Somebody ever did that to me heaven help 'em bc I'd destroy 'em. Just sayin'...

JM: Alright, Dale Smith, you are suing your former fiancee Michelle Parker for $5,000 the statutary maximum for an engagement ring that according to you she has not returned to you despite the fact that you two broke up. Tell me what's going on.
DS: Um, I actually met Michelle probably 2006, we've, we were dating on and off for about four years and and we had our breakups here and there, and we had good times and bad times and um June of 2010 we had uh decided to finally get back together again and I had went out and purchased an engagement ring and asked her to marry me at the beach on the pier down in Cocoa Florida, and um she said yes and uh she moved back in with me and uh we have twins together, a boy and a girl...
JM: You have twins together?
MP: Yes
JM: How old?
DS: They turn 3 on the 23rd of May.
JM: Oh goodness. Ok.
DS: And um... So she moved back in and everything you know was going ok I thought and um, there's a convention I go to up in Atlanta Georgia every year uh called DragonCon, big Sci Fi convention...
JM: A Sci Fi convention...

JM: You don't dress up?
MP: No.
JM: Ok.
DS: I'm part of a group called the 501st, I mean we do alot of charity work as well with Make A Wish, and we just go to conventions, we hang out, we have a good time, and uh...
JM: Ok, but it's a Sci Fi thing?
DS: Yeah. The one in Atlanta is ca is called DragonCon. It...
JM: Ok.
DS: It covers all the genres of Science Fiction.
JM: Ok, and what did you dress up for that one?
DS: Um, I have...
JM: Do ya have any pictures?
DS: No...
JM: I'm sorry I'm fascinated. I'm sorry, a grown man dressing up and I just I'm like I uh...
DS: I do on my Facebook. I dress up as Captain America,
JM: Captain America?
DS: A Spartan from the movie 300,
JM: OK.
DS: I guess it's fine with you, right?
MP: It used to be.
JM: It used to be. Ok. So go ahead.
DS: There's probably you know about 40,000 people that go to this convention
JM: Good Lord.
DS: It's not in a convention center.
JM: What do you all do at the convention?
DS: Party.
JM: That's ok.
DS: And uh, we're having a, we're in a get together at the Hard Rock. We're over there drinking, everybody's hanging out having a good time and we got into an argument...
JM: The 2 of you did?
DS: Yes. And uh...
JM: What was the argument about?
DS: Um, I asked her if she was having a good time and she said yeah, that this is what she's always wanted, and then...
JM: What was what she's always wanted?
DS: To be there...
JM: To be at a Sci Fi convention at 3 in the morning wasted?
DS: Yeah, well we were having a good time...
JM: A girl can dream can't she?
MP: Oh yes, sky's the limit...
JM: Yeah really, sky's the limit for you. Go ahead.
DS: Well then she says she says this is all I wanted you know I just wanted to be around you and and experience what you do and have a good time...
JM: She said that?
DS: Yeah. Yes. That's that's true.
JM: Ok.
DS: And then I had made a comment well then you shouldn't have been sleeping around with Paul last year...and that's what started the argument. She started yelling and screaming at me, and then um, and then she threw a drink in my face...
JM: Is this how your relationship has always been?
DS: Uhhh...
MP: No.
DS: No all of a sudden she just...
JM MP DS: (((all over talking each other)))
JM: I don't know, he's not too convincing
MP: For the um, for the 5 years that we were together I could probably rattle off 7 girls found in the house, emails, pictures, text messages, Craig's List ads...
DS: 2... 2 while we were broken up.
MP: He's cheated on me constantly and I've just always tried to keep it together for the kids and would forgive and forgive and this was the final straw... And when you're ready to hear obviously my side, and let him finish, I'll tell you what happened
JM: Yeah but what happened that et et et is this how it's always been between you 2, that you know like...
MP: Um no, he's pretty hot tempered...
JM: Because it's not normal to throw a drink in someone's face, to have...
MP: He's he's he's
JM: that kind of fight...
MP: No but he gets pretty malicious and vindictive, and he's a mean person expecially when he's been drinking. Any of the problems that we've ever had it's always been alcohol related. And I'm just...
JM: Are you drinking on the side while this is going on?
MP: I'm sorry?
JM: Are you drinking as well?
MP: Yeah, I'm drinking with him as well but um it's just...
JM: Because a lot of women, when they think that their man gets mean when they drink, don't drink next and they don't and they don't they coach him not to drink or something.
MP: Um, no.
JM: And visa versa. Ok go on...
DS: So I um I ended up smashing my camera on the ground cuz I was a little angry and I didn't want to...
JM: Boy you sure showed that camera
DS: I did. I didn't wanna do anything to to anyone, or her, you know so I
JM: So you took it out on the camera.
DS: I took it out on my camera.
JM: Ok.
DS: Same thing we get up to the hotel room
JM: Which is why he can't show me pictures of him in costumes... Go 'head...
DS: Well they're on my Facebook.
JM: Ok great.
DS: But um. We get into the hotel room to the hotel lobby, I went up to the hotel room and then she went and got a I believe a police officer and he got the hotel staff and they came up to the room and um they came into the room...
JM: Ok ok why did why did you get a police officer...
MP: Because...
JM: Other than the obvious because it was starting to get heated but...
MP: Well you just want me to start from that point or...
JM: Yeah...
MP: From the Hard Rock when we...
JM: No go ahead, start from the Hard Rock.
MP: Ok. We're at the Hard Rock like he said, we're probably with 3 or 4 hundred people and we were all drinking, and again he made a derogatory comment toward me regarding a past relationship that I had with someone else. I never raised my voice. I never yelled at him. I just looked at him with that look like I can't believe you just said that to me. I simply walked away, went down the stairs, got 10, 15 feet away from the front door and I felt somebody grab me and yank me around. As he grabbed and turned around, he was holding onto me, screaming at me, pointing back up to the stage, going get on that back up on the stage you ___ you know...and I'm like sitting there looking at him like really you're really doing this in front of all of these people? And he said to me he said to me if you don't like it, if you don't get back up on that stage, you can go home. And I was like really? At that time of course barbacks, bartenders, security drug him out the front door. Security came to me to make sure I was ok. They escorted me out the back so I wouldn't have any conflict with him. So when I walked around front he was standing there. Um, he's waiting there he's like where do you think you're going? He goes you're not going up to the room, all you're gonna do is go over the balcony. Ok, well when I walked in I saw 2 police officers so I turned right around, went right back to the officers, so I told the officers what was going on, what was said, and they got security. They let me through the kitchen and back areas and up the security elevator, got to the room he was there...didn't wanna let me in the room. So the security officer grabbed him by his arm said you're gonna come out here and you're gonna talk to me and you're gonna let her get her stuff. So he's rattling off... Uh...
JM: What's he saying?
MP: Just I want me ring. You know this is bullshi, whatever, who knows. So there's 2 officers...
JM: What ring? The engagement ring?
MP: The engagement ring. Um, I was trying to pack up my stuff. As I'm packing up my stuff in the luggage that I brought from his house, which is his but he let me borrow it to go to DragonCon, he told me that I couldn't take the luggage. So where was I gonna put my stuff? And then I couldn't stay in the room obviously so then where was I gonna go? So the ge the assistant general manage of the Hilton grabbed me plastic bags to put all my stuff in. Meanwhile they're trying to find me a room to see where I could stay... All the hotels are booked. I'm crying. I'm like where am I where am I supposed to go? They called another hotel to see if there was a vacancy that they could take me to but there wasn;t, so I ended up sleeping on someone's floor. Hadda call his fr...
JM: Whose floor? One of his friends?
MP: A friend of his that was down around the corner. They actually told him to stay in his room and that if he was to leave his room and come within so many feet of me you would be going to jail. So, back to being at the hotel room and I'm trying to pack my stuff and I'm packing some of my stuff into plastic bags and I remember walking into the bathroom, the officer is leaning up against the door, holding the door open, he's standing like right in the middle, and there's another officer to his right...well my right...
JM: Inside or outside?
MP: Just outside the door, maybe about a foot... And then he said that he wanted his ring. So I took it off... And I threw it at him.
