1
Ms. Lloyd, the defendant is a former co-worker of yours and a former boyfriend of yours.
2
Correct.
3
And it is your claim that you were just in the process of ending the relationship when Mr. Rausch rear-ended your car, causing damage to the back of your car.
4
Mr. Rausch says, well, that's not exactly the way it happened.
5
You actually pulled in front of him and purposely slammed on your brakes to cause the accident, so the accident was your fault.
6
Correct.
7
When did this happen?
8
November 14, 2014.
9
Well, tell me what happened.
10
I had previously found out that Jason was cheating on me, so I had invited him over to talk after work, and he followed me home.
11
We were at, um...
12
Can I step over to the...
13
Mm-hmm.
14
Was following me home.
15
We came.
16
I was sitting, waiting to turn onto Old Davidson Road.
17
I was at a complete stop, and then he rear-ended me.
18
While I was at a complete stop.
19
You were at a complete stop.
20
I don't see a stop sign there.
21
I was waiting for the oncoming traffic to yield.
22
They had the green arrow, so I was stopped, waiting for them to proceed and then waiting.
23
How far had you traveled with him following you, according to your story, prior to his hitting you in the rear?
24
Five minutes.
25
And were there other places in that five-minute period of time
26
that you stopped your car at either a stop sign or a stoplight?
27
Yes, there was two other stoplights, I believe.
28
And at no time did you have any difficulty during any of those stops?
29
No. had you been speaking to Mr. Rauch on the phone?
30
Yes, I had called him.
31
While you were traveling?
32
Correct.
33
Okay.
34
Well, that's starting to make a little, maybe make a little sense.
35
I want you to tell me, Ms. Lloyd, what the conversation was.
36
We started the conversation that we were gonna later finish when we got to my house.
37
Stop tapping.
38
Tell me what the conversation was.
39
I started asking him if he was cheating on me, if it was true, and he said yes and got angry.
40
No, he said yes that would make you angry.
41
That wouldn't make him angry.
42
That would make you angry.
43
Correct.
44
So he said yes, and?
45
Then he accused me, he was also accusing me of cheating.
46
Then I found out he was cheating, so we both got angry. And?
47
He started to radically...
48
If he was following you home to talk, did you call him or did he call you?
49
I called him.
50
You called him.
51
I know that instinctively, I knew that.
52
You couldn't wait to get home to start the fight, right?
53
Correct, Your Honor.
54
Listen, I see it.
55
There are disadvantages to getting older.
56
There are also some advantages.
57
That's how I knew she called you, because she couldn't wait to start the fight until she got home.
58
That's correct, Your Honor.
59
But what I'm trying to understand is why were you angry?
60
I know why she was angry.
61
But I don't know why you were angry.
62
Explain it to me.
63
Well, the only reason why I was really angry is because of the mistrust and the cheating that she was doing.
64
I wasn't doing any cheating.
65
She was doing the cheating.
66
So I believe...
67
Well, she told me that you admitted to her that you had been.
68
Your Honor, I had never cheated on her.
69
So did you tell her that you had?
70
No, absolutely not.
71
Well, tell me about the conversation.
72
The conversation was more back and forth about your cheating.
73
I'm, you know, you're cheating.
74
She's, you know, he said, she said.
75
She was accusing me, I was accusing her.
76
I never cheated.
77
What made you think that she had been?
78
Well, she had been really secretive with any of her phone calls
79
and her text messages and any of her social media stuff.
80
I had no right knowing any of that business, so I suspected that she was cheating.
81
Just based on that?
82
Pretty much based on that.
83
Yes.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
