00:00I see by the docket here, Zoe, that your landlord says you're in arrears on your rent. Is that correct?
00:08Yeah, that is correct. I'm just having some trouble coming in with the money.
00:12How many months behind are you?
00:14I'm actually six months behind.
00:17That's quite a bit. You need to be in court for that.
00:20Yeah, the thing is that I just have some other stuff. I'm trying to get some other jobs. My boyfriend's just pushing me to...
00:27So you're currently unemployed?
00:28Yeah, I've been unemployed.
00:30Like, you know, over almost like two years because I ran out of my unemployment.
00:34So you've expired on your unemployment check.
00:37Yeah, yeah. It wasn't that much anyways. I just had a part-time job on the side.
00:41At your last employer, did you have any kind of severance, any unused vacation days, unused...
00:45No.
00:46At your last employer, did you have any kind of severance, any unused vacation days, unused...
00:51No, I'll do unemployment.
00:52Were you separated for cause from your employees as an employer?
00:58Were you just fired or lay out?
01:00No, they closed the store.
01:02Okay, so they went out of business.
01:04They expanded the other one and they didn't have the business that they expected.
01:08So they decided to close the store that I was at.
01:11Okay, well, six months behind, you need to be in court because you're beyond negotiation with your landlord.
01:18Your landlord has put you in my court.
01:22Are you sure? I mean, I could...
01:23Yes, there are no options.
01:25Once you were here before me, there are no options.
01:29You will be sentenced in this court.
01:31It's just a question of how much and for how long.
01:34Well, the landlord's a little odd.
01:36I mean, he doesn't fix things.
01:37That doesn't matter in this court here.
01:40Okay, okay, I understand.
01:42Now, we're going to have to send you to counseling, too.
01:45We have our own counseling here within the court system.
01:47And you'll be on probation for a period of time for at least six months.
01:52Probably a year considering you're six months behind on your rent already.
01:57Six months?
01:57A month?
01:58Can you make it a little bit less?
01:59No, we'll make it more, not less.
02:01Like I said, you'll be in counseling for a year because you're already six months behind on your rent.
02:06Okay.
02:07Okay?
02:09We need to respect the court and respect our court procedures.
02:13We have our own counselors here in the court system.
02:16Okay.
02:16We have our own probation officers and our own security officers, as you already know.
02:21Okay.
02:22Okay.
02:23It is your first appearance in my court, though.
02:26So, I'm going to sentence you to a hundred strokes.
02:30A hundred strokes.
02:31A hundred strokes.
02:32That's my minimum here.
02:34A hundred strokes with just a leather strap, just a light leather strap, and an intensity level of one.
02:40Okay.
02:41Okay, and that will commence later today.
02:44All right.
02:45And then what do I need to do after that?
02:48You need to see our counselor.
02:50Our probation officer will take you to our counselor.
02:53Okay.
02:54Okay.
02:54That's a requirement.
02:56If you do not meet your counseling and your probation meetings, you'll be back before me, and you don't want to do that.
03:02Okay.
03:03Okay.
03:04Right.
03:04You are sentenced again.
03:05You are sentenced to one hundred strokes with a leather strap.
03:09Court adjourned.
03:09Okay.
03:10Okay.
03:12Okay.
03:13Okay.
