We got it for you here. It is Strawberry Letter.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Thank you, nephew. Subject her subject, her injury is not
my fault. You're Stephen Shirley. I am dating a cheater
and he just asked me to marry him, and I
was thinking of saying yes, but then one of his
side chicks press charges against me.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
I am what.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
That's a line right there, That's the opening, Okay. In
November I found my man on the side of a
building in his car, naked from the waist down, and
a woman was running across the parking lot away from
his car because she saw me pulling up. I fired
a warning shot with an air gun that I keep

(01:04):
just to scare a criminal away. When the gun went off,
she got scared and fell like she had been shot.
I thought it was funny, and so did my boyfriend.
I took my boyfriend's pants and his car keys, and
he called the police on me. Witnesses said I fired
a gun, so after examining my airgun, the policeman issued
a fine and I went and paid it the next day.

(01:25):
I wasn't worried about the side chick because my man
was on his best behavior and stuck to me like glue.
He spoiled me for Christmas, and I got three rings
to choose from. When he asked me to marry him,
I was still trying to play hard to get and
I hadn't said yes yet to his proposal. I planned
to marry him, but now I have to deal with
being sued by the side chick that fell in the

(01:47):
parking lot. She pulled a muscle, sprained her ankle, and
had a gash on her leg, and kneaded stitches. She
didn't have insurance, so she's suing me for two thousand,
one hundred dollars twenty one hundred dollars for her trip
to the er that night. I am not responsible for
her injuries. I think that my boyfriend is responsible and

(02:09):
she should sue him instead. This has created a major
conflict in our relationship. He wants me to pay it
so we can get on with our lives. He won't
even give me half of the money. If it wasn't
for him cheating, she never would have fallen in that
parking lot. Should my boyfriend pay up? Or is this
all my fault?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
The simple answer is yes, he should pay his side
chick his responsibility. All right, that's the quick answer. But
the real problem here is why are you even considering.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Marrying this man? Why?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Why are you guys together? What it's going on here?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I don't get it.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
A man you yourself described in the first paragraph of
this letter as a cheater. You caught him, I mean literally,
with his pants down in the parking lot. You saw
the side chick running away and you shot at her.
What in the hot ghetto mess is going on here?
What are you guys doing? This relationship is a disaster

(03:11):
waiting to happen, and stuff has already happened that should
make you turn away. And please don't waste your time
or your money getting married to this man because it's
only going to end in divorce.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
All right. It's a hard no for me, Steve.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
This is an episode of forty eight Hours. This is
an episode of Dateline.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
This is an.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Episode of American Greed. This is an episode of this.
This is not even a strawberry letter. I'm never we
you have it. I don't remember a letter with this
level of criminal activity in it. I just don't listen now, y'all.

(04:00):
As I'm breading a letter, this is what I'm here,
So let's go. I'm dating a CHEATAH and he's asked
me to marry him, and I'm thinking about saying yes.
Let's just stop right here. Yeah, yeah, let's just pump
the brakes right here. Let me read this to you again.
I'm dating a CHEATAH and he asked me to marry him,
and I'm thinking about saying yes.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Right after this, we off to the races. This letter
right here.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Is one I be damn statement after the next because
I just don't even understand.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'm dating the CHEATAH. He has me to marry I'm.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
Thinking about saying yes, and we're off to the races.
Next line, but then one of his side chicks press
charges against me. Let's stop right here. What that in
this letter? There is nowhere to breathe in this letter.
This letter is packed with incredible ass information. I was

(04:59):
thinking about saying yes, but then one one of his
side had chicks press charges against me.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Then she tried to calm it down.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
In November, I found my man on the side of
a building in his car.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
This is the most rest you getting this letter with this.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
Line right here, I found my man on the side
of the building in his car. Most people in their
lifetime have been on the side of a building in
a car, so that's nothing along. But we've all been
in our car on the side of a building. That's
the only rest moment in this letter. He would go
back to crazy naked from the waist down, and a

(05:42):
woman was running across the parking lot away from his
car because she saw me pull it up.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
What is going on in this damn letter? And it
don't stop there?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Next line, I fired a warning shot with an air
gun that I keep to scare a criminal away.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
What you shot at this woman.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
And you call it a warning shot, that's you know,
when you go to court, that's actually called attempted.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
There ain't no cop.

Speaker 3 (06:26):
I fired a warning shot with an air gun that
I keep to scare a criminal way.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
Hang on, Oh when I come back, I can't we go.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
We're gonna get back into it because this is the
most what the hell going on let I've ever read?

response coming up Steve at twenty three minutes after the

He asked me to marry him, and I was thinking
about saying yes, Dean, what the what the hell?

Speaker 2 (08:05):

Speaker 3 (08:07):
But then one of his side chicks pressed charges against me.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Dean, what hell? In November?

Speaker 3 (08:17):
I found my man on the side of a building
in his car, naked from the waist down, and the
woman was running across the parket lot a wait from
his car because she saw me pulling up.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Dean, what the hell?

Speaker 1 (08:31):
That was my favorite line.

Speaker 3 (08:33):
I fired a warning shot with an air gun that
I keep just in case to scare a criminal away.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Dean, What the what?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
When the gun went off, she got scared and fell, Dean.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I know why she fell because she thought she was shocking.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
I know exactly why she fell like she had been shot.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
I thought it was funny, and so did my boyfriend. Dean,
what the hell? What do you mean? You thought it
was funny, and so did your boyfriend.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Well after you y'all thought that was funny, I took
my boyfriend's pants and he and his car keys. He
called the police on me, Dean, What the hell is
happening in hell? Waitment man, a minute ago, you fired

(09:40):
a shot, she feil. You thought it was funny, and
the boyfriend thought it was funny. But ada, you tak
his pants and the cor keys. He your boyfriend called
the police on you. Okay, I don't need y'all's help
no more. I think y'all understand what this letter is about.
Let me take it from here, witnesses, I'll be there.

(10:00):
Witnesses said, I fired a gun, So after examining my
air gun, the policeman issue to find and I went
and paid it the next day. Okay, do you understand
what's happening here? Witnesses said, I fired a gun. You
told us you fired again. Lady, you wrote in this

(10:23):
letter that you fired a gun. You quit talking to
us about what the hell? The witnesses said you confessed.
Confessions carry a lot of weight in court. Baby, you
ain't really need no questerns. You really don't need too
many witnesses. Once you say I did it, okay, I

(10:44):
went and paid it the next day. I wasn't worried
about the side chick because my man was on his
best behavior.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
And stuck to me like glue.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
What You're not worried about this side chick because your
man was on his best behavior and stuck to my
side like glue?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
What goods? He spoiled me for Christmas?

Speaker 3 (11:08):
And I got three wings to choose from when he
asked me to marry him. Lady, you got three what
rings choose from? Ain't no man got money for three
engagement rings unless ain't now one of them?

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Real?

Speaker 3 (11:25):
You got three Zarconians When he asked me to marry him,
I was still trying to play hard to get and
I hadn't said yes yet to his proposal. I'm planning
to marry him, But now I got a deal with
being sued by the side chick that fell in the
parket like you're talking about the lady you shot at

(11:47):
that one right there that felled in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
She pulled a muscle, sprained her.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Ankle, and had a gash on her leg and kneaded stitches.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
Ain't just the same girl.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
You and your boyfriend was laugh before you took his car,
keys and pants and then he called the police.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
This was this.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Was the same chick y'all was laughing at. Now, she
done pull the muscle, sprain the ankle, and got some stitches.

Speaker 2 (12:11):
She didn't have insurance.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Oh, I know that, I know that, y'all don't sound
like insurance type people. She didn't have insurance, which one
of her insurances what she called. You can't call your
life insurance people about this, can't call your homeowners insurance
people about this, and you can't call your car insurance

(12:34):
people about this. What insurance what she's supposed to have
unless she had Obamacare, which has a medical device. But
then I can promise you that the deductible gonna swallow
up that two grand, So she might well take her
ass on down there and pay this help.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
But anyway, she.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Saw me for twenty one hundred for her trip to
the ear at night. I'm not responsible for her injury.
Yeah you did, you shot at her, called her the fall. Anyway,
I think my boyfriend is responsible and she should shoes
sue him instead. Okay, this has created a major conflict
in our relationship. He wants me to pay it so
we can get on with our lives. If you don't

(13:15):
pay my side check this money so we can get
on with our lives.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
He won't even give me half the money.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
If it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have fallen in
that parking lot if you had a shot at her.
Should my boyfriend pay up? Or is this all my fault?
Whow are y'all together?

Speaker 2 (13:31):
