Unfort- Like I said, unfortunately right now um he did eventually give me a statement. Had he not given me a statement, it would have been your guys' word against not them. So, I would have been had no choice but to go with your guys' side of events, which I believe your guys' side of events probably happened. Um but unfortunately, I can't prove it, and that's my issue, okay? >> Okay. >> So, is this an ongoing thing? Do you guys have this issues before? >> No, he puts his hands on her all the time. >> What about with you? >> No. >> No, first time he's ever put >> Yeah. >> So, not you or anything. >> I just figured that'd be the easier way to route to go, I mean. >> No, for sure. >> I mean >> For sure. >> I kind of assumed he was a loose body, even said we were stealing last time with the refrigerator.
