1
00:00:00,033 --> 00:00:02,266
You say she destroyed your drone.

2
00:00:02,333 --> 00:00:07,200
So, she came over with our son on her hip,
grabbed it, and then tossed it.

3
00:00:07,266 --> 00:00:09,200
-So, the whole thing was tossed.
-Yeah.

4
00:00:09,266 --> 00:00:10,266
No.

5
00:00:10,333 --> 00:00:13,266
He was ignoring you, you were frustrated,
baby's crying.

6
00:00:13,333 --> 00:00:16,000
What I wanted from him
was him to look up at me.

7
00:00:16,065 --> 00:00:18,367
Sometimes, a hissy fit costs money.

8
00:00:18,433 --> 00:00:21,233
[narrator]
This is Judy Justice.

9
00:00:21,300 --> 00:00:22,834
[theme music playing]

10
00:00:38,433 --> 00:00:42,500
[narrator] Mary Geddry
is suing her former daughter-in-law,

11
00:00:42,567 --> 00:00:47,667
Sarah Zinn, for lost wages
and the cost of a drone.

12
00:00:47,734 --> 00:00:49,834
[Kevin]
Court, come to order. All rise.

13
00:00:51,233 --> 00:00:52,600
[Judy]
Have a seat, please.

14
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,967
Judge, case 4088,
Geddry versus Zinn.

15
00:00:57,033 --> 00:00:58,400
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.

16
00:00:58,467 --> 00:01:00,233
[Judy]
Not such a difficult case.

17
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,367
Interesting, but not too difficult.

18
00:01:03,433 --> 00:01:07,767
Miss Geddry, Miss Zinn was married
to your son, and they have a child.

19
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:10,233
-Yes.
-[Judy] You had a drone.

20
00:01:10,300 --> 00:01:14,667
About a year or so ago,
you took the drone to a family function.

21
00:01:14,734 --> 00:01:16,967
-Yes.
-[Judy] And the drone was damaged.

22
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:18,033
Yes.

23
00:01:18,100 --> 00:01:21,000
[Judy] It was damaged
so that it could not be used.

24
00:01:21,066 --> 00:01:24,934
So, what you did was
you gave it to your son.

25
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,867
This I assume is your son because
you would need him as the witness to this.

26
00:01:28,934 --> 00:01:33,667
You took the drone and gave it to your son
in hopes that he could fix it.

27
00:01:33,734 --> 00:01:36,700
Your narrative
is not completely correct, but--

28
00:01:36,767 --> 00:01:38,667
Close enough.

29
00:01:38,734 --> 00:01:40,066
Maybe, yeah.

30
00:01:40,133 --> 00:01:42,000
-[Judy] Close enough.
-[Mary] Okay.

31
00:01:42,066 --> 00:01:45,200
[Judy] And your son took the drone home.
So far, is that right?

32
00:01:45,265 --> 00:01:48,000
-You took the drone home.
-Correct. And repaired it, yes.

33
00:01:48,066 --> 00:01:51,433
[Judy] Stand up. Your mother
really doesn't know what happened, you do.

34
00:01:51,500 --> 00:01:53,600
-You took the drone home.
-Correct.

35
00:01:53,667 --> 00:01:56,433
And then, just give me a month and year
that you...

36
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:58,800
-May of '24.
-2024.

37
00:01:58,866 --> 00:02:00,967
-[Judy] May of 2024?
-Yeah.

38
00:02:01,033 --> 00:02:03,633
[Judy]
When you took the drone home,

39
00:02:03,700 --> 00:02:07,533
was that immediately after
the family function where it was damaged?

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,433
No, it was about a month later.
It was in her possession.

41
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,900
[Judy] Were you at the family function
when it was damaged?

42
00:02:12,967 --> 00:02:15,066
-[Christopher] Yes.
-[Judy] Tell me about that function.

43
00:02:15,133 --> 00:02:19,934
It was my grandfather's memorial, and we
were having a celebration of life for him.

44
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,667
I was flying the drone and it fell
about five feet and cracked a gimbal cage.

45
00:02:24,734 --> 00:02:26,834
Tell me what that is. I have no--

46
00:02:26,900 --> 00:02:30,233
It holds the camera in place
and prevents vibrations and stuff

47
00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:31,600
from affecting it.

48
00:02:31,667 --> 00:02:35,800
Were you able to use it
after it fell the five feet?

49
00:02:35,867 --> 00:02:38,800
Yeah, it worked, but the camera
was hanging out of it.

50
00:02:38,867 --> 00:02:40,300
-The--
-[Judy] Don't speak.

51
00:02:40,367 --> 00:02:43,233
-So, it wasn't usable?
-No.

52
00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:45,300
[Judy] And your mother kept it
for about a month,

53
00:02:45,367 --> 00:02:46,966
-and then gave it to you?
-Correct.

54
00:02:47,033 --> 00:02:48,567
[Judy] And when
your mother gave it to you,

55
00:02:48,633 --> 00:02:51,633
was that in her house,
or did she bring it to you?

56
00:02:51,700 --> 00:02:52,700
It was at her house.

57
00:02:52,767 --> 00:02:56,433
[Judy] Tell me what the conversation was
when your mother gave you the drone.

58
00:02:56,500 --> 00:02:57,834
-Um--
-[Judy] Look at me.

59
00:02:57,900 --> 00:03:01,934
Uh, just that she needed it repaired,
and I said that I could do it.

60
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,800
From looking at the log
of what was wrong with it,

61
00:03:04,867 --> 00:03:08,266
and it telling me
that everything was fine, basically.

62
00:03:08,333 --> 00:03:11,467
It was just that the gimbal cage
was damaged.

63
00:03:11,533 --> 00:03:14,166
So, it wasn't hanging the camera
correctly.

64
00:03:14,233 --> 00:03:16,767
You took it home.
Did you try to fix it immediately?

65
00:03:16,834 --> 00:03:19,200
More or less, yeah.
I think maybe a day went by.

66
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:22,500
[Judy] And when you tried to fix it,
did you disassemble the whole drone?

67
00:03:22,567 --> 00:03:23,767
Very much of it, yeah.

68
00:03:23,834 --> 00:03:26,233
-[Judy] And that was on the kitchen table?
-[Christopher] Correct.

69
00:03:26,300 --> 00:03:28,700
Now, it sort of becomes interesting.

70
00:03:28,767 --> 00:03:31,367
Your mother has no knowledge
of what happened herself

71
00:03:31,433 --> 00:03:32,700
'cause she wasn't there.

72
00:03:32,767 --> 00:03:36,000
You had a newborn child
with the defendant.

73
00:03:36,066 --> 00:03:37,966
-Is this your only child?
-[Christopher] No.

74
00:03:38,033 --> 00:03:39,966
-[Judy] How many children do you have?
-Two.

75
00:03:40,033 --> 00:03:42,066
-[Judy] How old is the other one?
-Fourteen.

76
00:03:42,133 --> 00:03:45,834
And give me the date that
this incident happened with the drone

77
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:48,700
when you were working on it
on the kitchen table.

78
00:03:48,767 --> 00:03:50,567
May 11th of 2024.

79
00:03:50,633 --> 00:03:54,600
Okay. And Miss Zinn, let me,
'cause I read your papers

80
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:58,400
and I actually know exactly
what was going on in your mind,

81
00:03:58,466 --> 00:03:59,867
and what was going on

82
00:03:59,934 --> 00:04:05,200
in the frustrated part
of your emotions that day.

83
00:04:05,266 --> 00:04:08,033
-Your baby was five months old?
-Mm-hmm.

84
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:10,300
And crying, and needed to be cared for.

85
00:04:10,367 --> 00:04:11,433
-[Sarah] Yeah.
-Whatever.

86
00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,100
You were a little frustrated.
You went inside to the kitchen

87
00:04:14,166 --> 00:04:15,600
-to ask him to help.
-Mm-hmm.

88
00:04:15,667 --> 00:04:19,667
So far, am I telling this story?
I'm sort of piecing it together?

89
00:04:19,733 --> 00:04:22,000
And he was busy playing with the drone.

90
00:04:22,065 --> 00:04:23,100
Yes.

91
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,033
And you repeated yourself,
"I need some help.

92
00:04:26,100 --> 00:04:29,633
Are you gonna help me with the baby?"
According to you, he said no.

93
00:04:29,700 --> 00:04:33,433
Whether he said no or not,
he did not put down the drone...

94
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,500
You're correct.

95
00:04:34,567 --> 00:04:37,000
[Judy] ...that was apart.
And you got a little frustrated.

96
00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:42,667
What you say in your answer to this
is actually something I don't believe.

97
00:04:42,734 --> 00:04:45,166
Because you said you did get frustrated,

98
00:04:45,233 --> 00:04:49,233
and you took a piece of the drone
that was in his hand

99
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:53,332
in order to get his attention.
And then, you got his attention

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,033
and carefully put it back
on the kitchen counter.

101
00:04:56,100 --> 00:04:57,900
-Yes.
-Yeah, that, I don't believe.

102
00:04:57,967 --> 00:04:59,700
-[Sarah] Okay.
-[Christopher] 'Cos it's not true.

103
00:04:59,767 --> 00:05:01,266
It's not true.

104
00:05:01,333 --> 00:05:04,033
I don't want you to speak.
You have absolutely no knowledge

105
00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:06,066
of what went on that day,
you weren't there.

106
00:05:06,133 --> 00:05:07,767
Well, I have seen the flight logs--

107
00:05:07,834 --> 00:05:11,033
[Judy] You have absolutely no knowledge
of what went on that day.

108
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:12,600
You weren't there.

109
00:05:12,667 --> 00:05:17,633
So, let me suggest
that maybe your reactions to the drone

110
00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:22,567
were a little more volatile
than you describe in your answer.

111
00:05:22,633 --> 00:05:26,700
Probably. That would make sense.
Been there, done that.

112
00:05:26,767 --> 00:05:28,300
That's what you're suing for.

113
00:05:28,367 --> 00:05:31,667
You're suing her because
you say she destroyed your drone.

114
00:05:31,734 --> 00:05:34,834
Now, Mr. Fett, do you want
to describe what happened?

115
00:05:34,900 --> 00:05:37,734
You tell me what happened
in the kitchen in May.

116
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,734
I was sitting at the kitchen table--

117
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,000
-With the disassembled drone.
-[Christopher] Disassembling the drone.

118
00:05:42,066 --> 00:05:44,600
Put all the pieces that I needed
back onto it.

119
00:05:44,667 --> 00:05:47,834
It wasn't fully together yet
because I wanted to make sure it worked.

120
00:05:47,900 --> 00:05:50,400
-[Judy] I don't care.
-Before I put it all back together.

121
00:05:50,467 --> 00:05:52,500
[Judy] You still had pieces
on the kitchen counter.

122
00:05:52,567 --> 00:05:53,800
-Right.
-[Judy] Okay.

123
00:05:53,867 --> 00:05:55,233
Let's not make it look good for you,

124
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:57,266
let's just make it
as accurate as possible.

125
00:05:57,332 --> 00:06:00,133
I'm gonna tell your mother
not to open her mouth.

126
00:06:02,367 --> 00:06:04,667
She's not buying you a new drone.

127
00:06:04,734 --> 00:06:07,433
It takes meticulous flight logs
for every flight.

128
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:10,734
And you can see that it's repaired,
and it's working fine.

129
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,367
It does a systems check.

130
00:06:12,433 --> 00:06:13,834
Until after she touched it.

131
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,033
Dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat.

132
00:06:25,033 --> 00:06:29,200
[narrator] Mary Geddry
claims her former daughter-in-law,

133
00:06:29,266 --> 00:06:34,400
Sarah Zinn, owes for lost wages
and the cost of a drone.

134
00:06:34,467 --> 00:06:36,367
Okay, you tell me what happened.

135
00:06:36,433 --> 00:06:40,332
Okay. She started yelling for me
for a Q-tip

136
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,000
to put some ointment on our son's neck,
which I had just done.

137
00:06:44,066 --> 00:06:47,867
I said, "No, I'm not going to do that."
And I was also deep in this drone,

138
00:06:47,933 --> 00:06:51,033
very meticulous, you know, work to it.

139
00:06:51,100 --> 00:06:53,800
She came over with our son
on her hip

140
00:06:53,867 --> 00:06:56,066
and pushed my hand off the drone,
grabbed it,

141
00:06:56,133 --> 00:06:59,600
and then tossed it about two feet
over onto the kitchen counter,

142
00:06:59,667 --> 00:07:02,433
where it hit the toaster
and tumbled off of it

143
00:07:02,500 --> 00:07:04,233
and landed on the counter.

144
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,000
So, she took it and tossed it
about two feet

145
00:07:07,066 --> 00:07:09,000
and it landed on the kitchen counter?

146
00:07:09,066 --> 00:07:11,633
-Yeah. Correct.
-And then what happened?

147
00:07:11,700 --> 00:07:14,200
She continued to yell at me.
And, uh, so--

148
00:07:14,266 --> 00:07:15,934
[Judy]
What did she say to you?

149
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,567
She said, "This is our son, he needs you.
How could you do this?

150
00:07:19,633 --> 00:07:22,332
I don't want you in my life."
You know, things of that nature.

151
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,533
So, I just went outside

152
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,300
because I didn't want her
yelling in our son's ear any longer.

153
00:07:26,367 --> 00:07:28,600
And so, I just went out
and let things cool off.

154
00:07:28,667 --> 00:07:31,667
And came in, told her,
"You know, you probably broke the drone."

155
00:07:31,734 --> 00:07:33,700
I plugged it in and that was the case.

156
00:07:33,767 --> 00:07:36,433
And I looked at it and there was no way
that I could--

157
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:38,867
I don't have the expertise to repair it.

158
00:07:38,933 --> 00:07:41,367
Okay. You want to tell me
is that pretty much what happened?

159
00:07:41,433 --> 00:07:42,567
-No.
-[Judy] Okay.

160
00:07:42,633 --> 00:07:46,767
Came in, he was ignoring you,
you were frustrated, baby's crying.

161
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:51,400
He's not participating. He's not being
the father that you needed at the moment,

162
00:07:51,467 --> 00:07:55,400
or the mate that you needed at the moment.
What did you throw?

163
00:07:55,467 --> 00:07:56,734
-Listen to me.
-Mm-hmm.

164
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,633
What did you throw?

165
00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,066
Absolutely nothing.

166
00:08:00,133 --> 00:08:02,600
Okay. You want to tell me
what you did?

167
00:08:02,667 --> 00:08:06,100
What I did, yes.
After changing the diaper of my child--

168
00:08:06,166 --> 00:08:08,633
-[Judy] No, no, no, you're in the kitchen.
-It's brief.

169
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:09,834
You're in the kitchen.

170
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:11,667
[Sarah]
What took place in the kitchen

171
00:08:11,734 --> 00:08:14,433
was me simply taking a part out
of his hand and putting it on the counter

172
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:17,000
because what I wanted from him
was him to look up at me.

173
00:08:17,066 --> 00:08:18,967
I understand exactly-- Listen to me.

174
00:08:19,033 --> 00:08:22,734
I understand exactly what you're saying.
Been there, done that.

175
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,100
-Well--
-I had gotten the prize on that.

176
00:08:25,166 --> 00:08:26,133
[Sarah]
My intent was not--

177
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,500
Getting your attention
usually involves a little bit more

178
00:08:31,567 --> 00:08:34,265
than just gently picking something
out of your hand.

179
00:08:34,332 --> 00:08:36,834
It's the equivalent to me grabbing
something out of my baby's hand

180
00:08:36,900 --> 00:08:39,066
that he shouldn't have
when he shouldn't have it.

181
00:08:39,133 --> 00:08:41,200
I don't break things
when I grab them out of my baby's hand

182
00:08:41,265 --> 00:08:43,533
and that's the same thing I did
was grabbing that out of his hand.

183
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:45,700
[laughs] Are you kidding me?

184
00:08:45,767 --> 00:08:48,100
You would've taken the drone
and hit him over the head with it

185
00:08:48,165 --> 00:08:49,700
if you didn't get in trouble.

186
00:08:49,767 --> 00:08:52,667
I would've taken something else
and hit him over the head with it.

187
00:08:52,734 --> 00:08:54,000
That's not even necessary.

188
00:08:54,066 --> 00:08:55,834
Shh, don't try to talk over me.

189
00:08:55,900 --> 00:08:58,033
I don't necessarily disagree with you.

190
00:08:58,100 --> 00:09:01,500
-I'm not making you into something...
-[Sarah] I understand.

191
00:09:01,567 --> 00:09:03,066
...something terrible.

192
00:09:03,133 --> 00:09:07,066
You know, he was doing a man thing;
I'm playing with my drone.

193
00:09:07,133 --> 00:09:11,100
Don't bother me. You're taking care of it,
you take care of it.

194
00:09:11,166 --> 00:09:15,200
I can understand the frustration
of a new mother

195
00:09:15,266 --> 00:09:18,100
who already has a 14-year-old,
so this is a--

196
00:09:18,166 --> 00:09:23,867
I get it. I get it. Okay. So now,
I will use my own imagination.

197
00:09:23,934 --> 00:09:26,700
But there's no question
that you picked up one piece,

198
00:09:26,767 --> 00:09:28,734
or the whole drone, and tossed it.

199
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,700
Now, the drone was not working
when you got it.

200
00:09:31,767 --> 00:09:34,433
So, you don't, according to you,
have the expertise

201
00:09:34,500 --> 00:09:37,033
-to put it back together. Right?
-I--

202
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:39,734
That's what you just said.
Would you read that back?

203
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,734
He said, "I don't have the expertise."

204
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,400
-[Christopher] After the final-- Okay.
-Don't speak.

205
00:09:44,467 --> 00:09:47,233
He said, "I don't have the expertise
to repair it."

206
00:09:47,333 --> 00:09:50,734
Right. So, when did you purchase
the drone?

207
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,567
What month and year?

208
00:09:52,633 --> 00:09:54,834
I purchased the drone

209
00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,934
in April of 2022.

210
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,567
In April of 2022. How much
did you pay for the drone?

211
00:10:02,633 --> 00:10:04,433
Fifty-eight hundred
and twenty-six dollars.

212
00:10:04,500 --> 00:10:07,233
Now, I'd like to see after May 11th,

213
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:11,033
did you take the drone in
to be professionally repaired?

214
00:10:11,100 --> 00:10:15,567
No. It's expensive and I didn't
have the funds to do that at the time.

215
00:10:15,633 --> 00:10:19,967
Then, what do you expect me to do?
She's not buying you a new drone.

216
00:10:20,033 --> 00:10:21,867
We're not asking for a new drone.

217
00:10:21,934 --> 00:10:23,734
[Judy]
I don't know how much it is to fix.

218
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,233
I have the replacement costs right here.

219
00:10:26,300 --> 00:10:28,400
She's not buying you a new drone.

220
00:10:28,467 --> 00:10:31,300
It takes meticulous flight logs
for every flight.

221
00:10:31,367 --> 00:10:34,433
And you can see that it's repaired,
and it's working fine.

222
00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:37,800
-Until after she touched it.
-It does a systems check.

223
00:10:37,867 --> 00:10:40,033
Dat-dat-dat-dat-dat-dat.

224
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:45,133
The machine wasn't working
when you gave it to your son to fix.

225
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,266
Now, you have a non-working drone.

226
00:10:47,333 --> 00:10:49,333
-I repaired it.
-[Judy] Just a second.

227
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,133
I don't know that.
It wasn't put together yet.

228
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,800
You already told me
that the two pieces were apart.

229
00:10:54,867 --> 00:10:56,767
She damaged it.

230
00:10:56,834 --> 00:11:00,533
Now, the exercise is you have
to take it in for an analysis

231
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,667
to figure out how much will it cost
to fix it.

232
00:11:03,734 --> 00:11:06,767
Because your son
doesn't have the expertise to fix it.

233
00:11:06,834 --> 00:11:09,266
She's not buying you a new
or replacement drone.

234
00:11:09,333 --> 00:11:11,233
We've never asked for that.

235
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:16,367
[Judy] Just a second.
You paid $5,800 for it two years ago.

236
00:11:16,433 --> 00:11:17,467
Yes.

237
00:11:17,533 --> 00:11:20,867
-And you're asking for $3,200.
-[Mary] No.

238
00:11:20,934 --> 00:11:23,467
Thirty-two hundred dollars
includes lost revenue.

239
00:11:23,533 --> 00:11:26,600
Oh, lost revenue is nonsense.
I'm not even entertaining that.

240
00:11:26,667 --> 00:11:30,700
-That's ridiculous.
-[Mary] So, the repair cost estimate--

241
00:11:30,767 --> 00:11:35,667
Number one, the machine itself
does its own systems analysis--

242
00:11:35,734 --> 00:11:37,834
-Madam, unless--
-[Mary] And we have that here.

243
00:11:37,900 --> 00:11:42,133
We can provide you with the flight logs
to show that it worked.

244
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,967
And after she threw it,
it stopped working.

245
00:11:45,033 --> 00:11:48,033
Madam, I need an estimate for repair.

246
00:11:48,100 --> 00:11:50,467
-Let's say--
-I have that for you.

247
00:11:50,533 --> 00:11:53,800
Well, just a second.
My question to you was,

248
00:11:53,867 --> 00:11:56,800
did you take it in to have it analyzed?

249
00:11:56,867 --> 00:11:58,734
-No.
-[Judy] And you said no.

250
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,367
Well, I'll see what you have,

251
00:12:00,433 --> 00:12:03,433
but how do you get an estimate for repair
without taking it in,

252
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:05,433
without knowing what's wrong with it?

253
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:07,767
And you can't testify
what's wrong with it.

254
00:12:09,333 --> 00:12:13,000
Oh, no, this is not--
An accessory price inquiry?

255
00:12:13,066 --> 00:12:14,133
That's not this.

256
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,166
It's just the gimbal section.

257
00:12:16,233 --> 00:12:19,233
[Judy] Understand this: let's say
this wasn't a drone.

258
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:23,667
Let's say instead of a drone,
she took your car

259
00:12:23,734 --> 00:12:28,700
which your son was working on,
and she purposely backed it into a tree

260
00:12:28,767 --> 00:12:31,600
-and damaged it. And you sued her.
-Yeah.

261
00:12:31,667 --> 00:12:35,400
What evidence do you think you would need
to show a judge,

262
00:12:35,467 --> 00:12:40,367
an amount, a dollar amount,
of what it would cost to fix the car?

263
00:12:40,433 --> 00:12:43,667
What would you give to the judge?
I'm gonna make it easy for you.

264
00:12:43,734 --> 00:12:44,734
An estimate.

265
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,033
-Correct.
-[Mary] Which is what we have.

266
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:49,367
No, this is not an estimate
from a company.

267
00:12:49,433 --> 00:12:53,066
It is from the company.
It's from DJI itself.

268
00:12:53,133 --> 00:12:55,133
They sent us a component list.

269
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,300
The parts that are damaged,
which are detailed in the flight logs.

270
00:12:59,367 --> 00:13:01,333
When it does its systems check,
it shows you

271
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,133
what works and what doesn't work,
what needs to be replaced.

272
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,867
And they include in there
a $65 service fee,

273
00:13:07,934 --> 00:13:09,934
plus shipping to send it down there.

274
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,100
The drone will fly. We could fly it
in here and zip it around the room.

275
00:13:14,166 --> 00:13:15,633
And it has always flown.

276
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:21,266
The damage is that
the camera will no longer pan, tilt, zoom,

277
00:13:21,333 --> 00:13:27,333
and all of the things that are necessary
for it to benefit the work that we do.

278
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,166
I can't help you.

279
00:13:29,233 --> 00:13:32,734
Unless you take this in to a store,
to a company

280
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,734
and they analyze this and they say,
this is what's necessary

281
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,400
because this was broken
when she tossed it, I can't help you.

282
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,867
Does that or does that not indicate
that it--

283
00:13:45,934 --> 00:13:48,033
-[pen clatters]
-That's it, we're done here.

284
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:51,133
I'm done with you. I'm done with you.
Did you see what you just did?

285
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,567
Talked to him. You talked to him.

286
00:13:53,633 --> 00:13:54,633
I apologize.

287
00:13:54,700 --> 00:13:56,100
I'm sorry.

288
00:13:56,165 --> 00:14:01,033
Does that show that the drone was flown
on July 6th?

289
00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:15,000
[narrator] Mary Geddry
has accused her former daughter-in-law,

290
00:14:15,066 --> 00:14:19,967
Sarah Zinn, of damaging her drone
during an argument with her son.

291
00:14:20,033 --> 00:14:25,066
You're asking me to go through that drone.
Is that what you're asking me to do?

292
00:14:25,133 --> 00:14:27,467
No. We could show you the two incidents.

293
00:14:27,533 --> 00:14:31,000
A drone is not like a car
where you can drive it in

294
00:14:31,066 --> 00:14:33,900
or have somebody come out
and take an estimate.

295
00:14:33,967 --> 00:14:35,834
You have to either ship it in,

296
00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:38,633
-or talk to them over the phone.
-To a certified--

297
00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:41,400
If you seem to know about it,
I'm gonna ask one question.

298
00:14:41,467 --> 00:14:43,133
Maybe that will help me.

299
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,233
Is there any way of looking
on that machine

300
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:49,133
and telling me prior to May 11th,

301
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,367
prior to May 11th, what was wrong with it?

302
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:53,600
Yes.

303
00:14:53,667 --> 00:14:56,600
[Judy]
What will it show me was broken

304
00:14:56,667 --> 00:14:59,734
prior to May 11th? What part of it?

305
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,734
I'm gonna tell your mother
that she better not open her mouth.

306
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,834
[sighs] I'm just looking at him.

307
00:15:05,900 --> 00:15:11,867
What was broken on the drone
prior to May 11th at the family function?

308
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:13,967
I believe it's just the cracked case

309
00:15:14,033 --> 00:15:16,567
was the only reason
the camera was hanging out of it.

310
00:15:16,633 --> 00:15:18,633
So, you couldn't-- I mean,
you wouldn't want to fly it.

311
00:15:18,700 --> 00:15:22,967
Just a second. What I'm asking you is,
is that what it will tell me?

312
00:15:23,033 --> 00:15:24,533
-Yes.
-[Judy] Let me see.

313
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,200
Go find, prior to May 11th,
that it's going to tell me

314
00:15:27,266 --> 00:15:30,900
the only thing wrong with it is a case.

315
00:15:30,967 --> 00:15:33,300
This is the flight, um...

316
00:15:33,367 --> 00:15:35,367
Kevin, watch very carefully.

317
00:15:35,433 --> 00:15:38,165
What was the damage on it
prior to May 11th?

318
00:15:38,233 --> 00:15:40,266
It just says, "Aircraft is not connected."

319
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:42,600
[Judy]
Is that all that it says, Mr. Fett?

320
00:15:42,667 --> 00:15:43,667
Yes.

321
00:15:43,734 --> 00:15:46,800
[Judy]
Okay. Now, go after May 11th.

322
00:15:46,867 --> 00:15:48,967
Does it show that was repaired?

323
00:15:49,033 --> 00:15:51,133
Yeah, it shows normal mode,
everything's fine.

324
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,300
There's no, uh, nothing.

325
00:15:53,367 --> 00:15:54,400
On what date?

326
00:15:54,467 --> 00:15:55,533
On May 11th.

327
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,066
Where's it say May 11th at?

328
00:15:57,133 --> 00:15:59,066
[Judy]
Okay. May 11th it shows...

329
00:15:59,133 --> 00:16:00,934
[Kevin]
It says, "Gimbal stuck."

330
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,834
-[Judy] "Gimbal stuck"?
-[Kevin] Yes.

331
00:16:02,900 --> 00:16:08,633
Can you go on the drone
in September of 2024?

332
00:16:08,700 --> 00:16:11,633
-I'm not sure were were flying it then.
-[Judy] Just a sec.

333
00:16:11,700 --> 00:16:13,500
I'm not talking to you, madam.

334
00:16:13,567 --> 00:16:14,567
Yes.

335
00:16:14,633 --> 00:16:16,300
[Christopher]
It's never flown after May 11th.

336
00:16:16,367 --> 00:16:18,166
It's never flown after May 11th?

337
00:16:18,233 --> 00:16:19,900
Right. Yeah.

338
00:16:19,967 --> 00:16:23,066
After I-I turned it on
and it did the flight logs.

339
00:16:23,133 --> 00:16:26,800
Okay, very good. So, it hasn't flown,
so it would not show me anything?

340
00:16:26,867 --> 00:16:29,367
-No.
-[Judy] Okay, great. Thank you very much.

341
00:16:29,433 --> 00:16:34,433
All right. Miss Zinn.
I'm satisfied from reading the history

342
00:16:34,500 --> 00:16:37,800
of what my court officer
and your former husband tell me

343
00:16:37,867 --> 00:16:42,900
that something happened on May 11th
that caused this gimbal component

344
00:16:42,967 --> 00:16:45,600
to break and to be non-functional.

345
00:16:45,667 --> 00:16:48,900
And the only intermediate thing
that happened

346
00:16:48,967 --> 00:16:50,500
was that you touched it.

347
00:16:50,567 --> 00:16:54,867
So, you're gonna be responsible
for $1,429

348
00:16:54,934 --> 00:16:57,934
to fix that one part.

349
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,734
Sometimes a hissy fit costs money.

350
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,700
Can I interject for just a moment?

351
00:17:02,767 --> 00:17:05,700
That May 11th thing
didn't take place on May 11th.

352
00:17:05,767 --> 00:17:09,433
It was July when the incident between
me and him and that drone happened.

353
00:17:09,500 --> 00:17:12,000
It was literally weeks
before the first message I received

354
00:17:12,066 --> 00:17:13,733
from Mary Geddry about the drone.

355
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,733
Miss Geddry, I don't want you
to get involved with this

356
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,400
unless I ask you a question.
Do you understand?

357
00:17:19,467 --> 00:17:20,599
Yeah.

358
00:17:20,666 --> 00:17:23,733
[Judy] Yes. Good.
Your former wife, Mr. Fett,

359
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:27,500
she says that this incident
with the drone in your kitchen

360
00:17:27,567 --> 00:17:30,934
happened in July.
Does that refresh your recollection?

361
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,800
No, it does not.
And it shows on the flight log.

362
00:17:33,867 --> 00:17:35,500
[Judy]
What was the date in July?

363
00:17:35,567 --> 00:17:37,533
[Sarah] I'm assuming the incident,
as far as I remember,

364
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,867
was, and I don't mean to assume,
it was in early July.

365
00:17:39,934 --> 00:17:41,900
Kevin, do you know how
to play with this drone?

366
00:17:41,967 --> 00:17:44,100
-[Kevin] No, I don't.
-[Sarah] It wasn't even working

367
00:17:44,166 --> 00:17:46,400
when he brought it to my house
that day in parts, in pieces.

368
00:17:46,467 --> 00:17:50,567
I just want to know
if it shows anything in July.

369
00:17:50,633 --> 00:17:53,400
It wouldn't. He was still working on it
then too.

370
00:17:53,467 --> 00:17:55,400
-There's probably nothing.
-[Judy] Keep going.

371
00:17:55,467 --> 00:17:57,800
Keep going.
July first, second, third, fourth--

372
00:17:57,867 --> 00:18:00,500
[Christopher]
July 6th is the last date in July.

373
00:18:00,567 --> 00:18:02,500
That sounds about like the day
that it happened.

374
00:18:02,567 --> 00:18:05,900
Kevin, is there anything in that log

375
00:18:05,967 --> 00:18:10,700
between July 1st and July 20th?
Take a look.

376
00:18:10,767 --> 00:18:13,567
July 1 through 20.

377
00:18:13,633 --> 00:18:16,533
July 6th... and there's nothing
after the 6th.

378
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,967
Well, what does it say on July 6th?

379
00:18:19,033 --> 00:18:22,500
And it's flying, for about five minutes
it looks like it'll fly.

380
00:18:22,567 --> 00:18:24,233
Really? That was on July 6th?

381
00:18:24,300 --> 00:18:25,367
[Christopher]
Yes.

382
00:18:25,433 --> 00:18:27,900
Oh, Mr. Fett, step back
next to your mother.

383
00:18:27,967 --> 00:18:32,800
Your mother just told me
that the drone had not been used

384
00:18:32,867 --> 00:18:35,800
after this incident. Don't speak.

385
00:18:35,867 --> 00:18:38,900
Does that
or does that not indicate that it--

386
00:18:38,967 --> 00:18:41,100
-[pen clatters]
-That's it, we're done here.

387
00:18:41,166 --> 00:18:44,633
I'm done with you. I'm done with you.
Did you see what you just did?

388
00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:47,200
Talked to him. You talked to him.

389
00:18:47,266 --> 00:18:48,967
-How many times--
-I apologize.

390
00:18:49,033 --> 00:18:50,200
I'm sorry.

391
00:18:50,266 --> 00:18:54,333
Does that show that the drone was flown
on July 6th?

392
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,467
Yes, it does.

393
00:18:55,533 --> 00:18:58,166
Your case is dismissed, we're done here.
Thank you very much.

394
00:18:58,233 --> 00:18:59,700
[Kevin]
This court is adjourned.

395
00:19:03,367 --> 00:19:04,433
I didn't throw anything.

396
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:07,467
I basically just wanted to get
his attention so he would acknowledge me.

397
00:19:07,533 --> 00:19:11,233
Yeah, she was throwing a fit
and decided to get physical

398
00:19:11,300 --> 00:19:14,867
and move my hand and grab the drone,
and just had a little tantrum.

399
00:19:14,934 --> 00:19:17,633
There wasn't a lot of anger in that.
Yeah, we were arguing,

400
00:19:17,700 --> 00:19:21,100
but it was mostly wanting to get him
to look up at me. That was all I needed.

401
00:19:21,166 --> 00:19:25,166
The fact that the drone can fly,
it can still fly, I said that in court.

402
00:19:25,233 --> 00:19:29,233
It doesn't mean that the gimbal
and the camera system aren't damaged.

403
00:19:29,300 --> 00:19:32,033
I felt like I kinda won the argument
by him having to look up at me.

404
00:19:32,100 --> 00:19:34,066
It'll be repaired, one way or another.

405
00:19:34,133 --> 00:19:38,100
But hopefully, you know,
I'll be divorced by that time.

406
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,900
You know how I hate things technical.

407
00:19:41,967 --> 00:19:44,500
Oh, yeah. I could get you one
for your birthday.

408
00:19:44,567 --> 00:19:48,333
It was so interesting.
The defendant was very clear.

409
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,667
She said the whole thing
didn't happen in May...

410
00:19:51,734 --> 00:19:54,033
And she was respectful,
she waited her turn.

411
00:19:54,100 --> 00:19:56,967
She said, excuse me, actually,
none of that is true.

412
00:19:57,033 --> 00:19:58,867
I was gonna disagree with you
in the middle

413
00:19:58,934 --> 00:20:00,633
when I thought I knew where it was going

414
00:20:00,700 --> 00:20:04,567
when you were not gonna accept
the invoice list...

415
00:20:04,633 --> 00:20:06,367
-Of parts.
-...of parts.

416
00:20:06,433 --> 00:20:10,533
Which I understood where you were going,
is you wanted sort of a service person

417
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,233
to have taken a look at it and said,
this is what it's gonna cost to fix.

418
00:20:14,300 --> 00:20:16,867
I'm signing off on it
on my company letterhead.

419
00:20:16,934 --> 00:20:18,500
And here's the invoice.

420
00:20:18,567 --> 00:20:21,200
But I know that with a lot of technology
nowadays,

421
00:20:21,266 --> 00:20:24,834
that's not how it's run.
I know New York passed a law

422
00:20:24,900 --> 00:20:27,000
that they have to be able
to fix technology

423
00:20:27,066 --> 00:20:29,467
because of the impact on the planet
and things like that.

424
00:20:29,533 --> 00:20:32,567
So, a lot of times,
it's just getting the list of parts,

425
00:20:32,633 --> 00:20:35,100
identifying from the device itself,
which he was saying,

426
00:20:35,166 --> 00:20:37,900
he could show you the device itself
running the diagnostic

427
00:20:37,967 --> 00:20:40,066
and showing you
which parts were necessary

428
00:20:40,133 --> 00:20:45,133
to be ordered to fix the errors.
So, I would've accepted the list

429
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,200
that was given to us
from the self-diagnosis of the machine.

430
00:20:48,266 --> 00:20:51,400
But it ended up that we didn't even
need to do that because--

431
00:20:51,467 --> 00:20:54,233
She testified that, and so did he,

432
00:20:54,300 --> 00:20:57,066
that the machine had not been used
since May 11th.

433
00:20:57,133 --> 00:20:58,800
-Yeah.
-[Judy] That it was broken

434
00:20:58,867 --> 00:21:02,700
since she touched it,
but the machine said it was flown in July.

435
00:21:02,767 --> 00:21:04,900
I don't think they ever said
there was anything wrong

436
00:21:04,967 --> 00:21:06,333
with the flying of the drone,

437
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,367
just more with the camera capabilities
while it was flying.

438
00:21:09,433 --> 00:21:11,166
So, I understand the discrepancy there.

439
00:21:11,233 --> 00:21:13,967
But either way, they weren't honest
with that up front.

440
00:21:14,033 --> 00:21:15,767
And because of that, they lost.
