This is the case of Commons v. Baker.” Thank you, Jerome. Good day, everyone. [audience] Good day. Ms. Commons, you claim the defendant has been denying your two-year-old daughter, Bre’ze, and refuses to do anything for her. You are furious and testify that you are certain that he is the father and plan to prove that today.” – Judge Lake
Within the court’s tense atmosphere, Mr. Baker’s doubts loom large, stemming from a turbulent history of infidelity. His struggle to reconcile his feelings with the possibility of being Bre’ze’s father is palpable. “Exactly. But that doesn’t give you any… reason to lessen the doubt, you already have, Mr. Baker?

Trying to find out who my dad is. If my mama didn’t raise me right, who you want… Where am I supposed to get it from? Where do I suppose to get it from? I’m supposed to learn on my own, and that’s what I’m doing. I gotta make mistakes, learn, and live.” – Ms. Commons
The court hears a poignant testimony from Mr. Baker’s sister, who reveals further doubts about Bre’ze’s paternity, uncovering a web of complexities woven around the fragile threads of love and mistrust. “I knew for a fact that she was having sex with other guys… During the time Bre’ze was conceived? Absolutely. You say you know that for a fact. Yeah, ’cause we’d talk on the phone, too and she’d tell me like, ‘You know, I just left… from my friend house, this dude.’ And she’d say to me, like, ‘Oh, girl, his sex was… It wasn’t about nothing,’ you know… Like that type of stuff. So I knew for a fact that she was sleepin’ around.” – Mr. Baker’s sister
As DNA testing stands as the ultimate arbiter, Judge Lake urges the couple to address their unresolved issues and seek healing for the sake of their daughter. “Yeah, I’m happy with the results. But I just wanted to say this before. It’s still, like, it’s still not gonna be no trust or whatever. I’mma always be there for my daughter. But the trust with her, like, that… -Right, that means you need to depart then.” – Judge Lake
The article emphasizes the innocence of Bre’ze, who remains oblivious to the turmoil surrounding her. It underscores the profound impact parental conflicts can have on a child’s emotional well-being. “That’ll be your fault. -[Commons] I knew he– -For not deciding to do better when you had the opportunity. I’m done with it. Go into the counseling and do the work you gotta do. And every move you make from this point, you know, that game of chess that you playin’, that’s with her life. Now get it right. Court is adjourned.” – Judge Lake
