Claire: Thank you your honor. Good morning, Mrs. Levesque. She said
Stephanie: Good morning. She said
Claire: Now, Mrs. Levesque your testimony is that my client daughter Cicely DeLorenzo is not your half-sister, correct. She asked
Stephanie: Yes, that would be correct. She replied
Claire: Your entire family with except of you believes that Cicely is a member of your family. Why is that? She asked
Stephanie: I do not know, but I know she is not a member of my family.
Claire: How do you know that?
Stephanie: I just do.
Claire: Did you ever see the result of the paternity test that was taking 26 years ago? She asked, as she walk around the table and over to the jury box and stood there.
Stephanie: No, I never saw the result of the paternity test that was taking 26 years ago. She replied
Claire: Then why say she is not a member of your family.
Stephanie: Because I do not believe that she my half-sister. She is probably looking for money like Mr. Adams is saying. She replied
Claire: Mrs. Levesque did Mr. Adams coach you to say that answer. She said, as Leo stood up
Leo: I objection, your honor I did not coach witness. He said
Judge Cruz: Your objection is overruled Mr. Adams so please sat down. (as Leo sat down) You may continue Ms. Daniels. She said
Claire: That is what you believe that my client is looking for money? She asked
Stephanie: Yes.
Claire: You could not be more wrong Mrs. Levesque. Because my client Mrs. DeLorenzo is a very, very successful businesses woman just like your mother Mrs. McMahon. My client owns her businesses too. I am sure you hear of Savannah place. On the other hand, maybe you heard of Savannah boutique, or how about Cicely café. Those are some of the businesses that my client owner, not to forgot that she owned several other business outside the state of Connecticut in her home county of Puerto Rico, she also owned two hotels here in Connecticut, plus two apartments building for lowing income family here too. There is also a nightclub here too. Does that sound like someone who is after for your father money? She ask
Stephanie: Maybe she greed for money.
Claire: Greed. No my client is not greed Mrs. Levesque. She is only look for what your father promises her.
Stephanie: Promise he say I will try to contribute money. That is not a promise. She said
Claire: That not a promise after finding out that he fathering another child?
Stephanie: Yes.
Claire: Mrs. Levesque are you jealous that there is another McMahon child and it is a girl. She asked
Stephanie: I have nothing to be jealous.
Claire: Listen to you; right now, you sound very jealous.
Stephanie: I am not jealous.
Claire: Mrs. Levesque you've heard testimony from both of your brothers and your sisters in law meeting Cicely. Why didn't you go with them meet to her? She asked
Stephanie: I have other priorities that day. She replied
Claire: And what priorities were those? She asked
Stephanie: Being a mother to my three daughters.
Claire: I mean, correct me if I am wrong here, but doesn't both of your brothers have children? She asked
Stephanie: Yes they do.
Claire: So why is it that your brothers and sister in laws find the time to go and meet Cicely but you couldn't find the time? She asked
Stephanie: Like I said before I was had other priorities.
Claire: That is not an excuse Mrs. Levesque especially when your brothers and sister in laws find the time. I mean honestly your own mother ask your father to meet her stepdaughter. However, you couldn't. She said, as she walks over to the table and pick up the paternity test paper.
Stephanie: Yes. She said, as Claire turn toward Stephanie and she walk over to the witness stand.
Claire: I've asked this question of your family who have testifies so far, and they've all told the court that they didn't have this paternity test paper draw up. Therefore, I am asking you right now did you have these paternity test paper draw up. She asked, she hand them to Stephanie to look over before answer her questions.
Stephanie: You ever think that maybe your client had these draw up. She replied
Claire: That is absurd first of all. Second of all, I didn't ask you that. I ask if you had these paternity test papers draw up. She asked again.
Stephanie: And if I did so what.
Claire: So what, it prove that you are jealous that there is another McMahon child and it is a girl. Moreover, you don't like that, one bit. Nothing further your honor. She said, as she walk back to her seat and sat down.
Judge Cruz: You may step down Mrs. Levesque. She said, as Stephanie stood up and step off the witness stand and walks back her seat and sat down.
