what to say that JUDGE LAKE: Mr. Hopkins...he is the

father

. Come on, say it, I'm ready. I'm ready. JUDGE LAKE: He is the

father

. (LAUGHS) Thank you, honey. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDES) That's his granddaughter. (CRYING) Can I see it? No ma'am. (AUDIENCE LEADS ALONE) JUDGE LAKE: Ms. Smith, she has come to this

court

room to try and prove that her statement is true. That's Jovan's biological son. You have been proven right. I know what you've been through. And I honestly can't even imagine being pregnant in the final stages of a pregnancy. I know how crazy I was, and I wasn't dealing with half of what you were dealing with.

I can't imagine processing all of that. But I think it's important right now that you allow your son the chance to at least know that he has family, so he's not here 20 years later asking questions. Or, look at her, repeating the cycle. AUDIENCE: Mm-hm. Yes ma'am. JUDGE LAKE: Thank you. (AUDIENCE APPLAUDES) Thank you. Thank you. You are welcome. I'll see you all in my chambers. The trial is suspended. (LAUGH) Look... Hello, granny. Give me a hug. JUDGE LAKE: This is very important. This was something beautiful. And that you can do this right now is a great lesson for you as a young person and as a mother.

And I'm proud of you right now. And these will be important moments for your son because he will not have the physique, right? I am taking this time with you because I want you to know what you have. You know, I lost my mom in 2006, and when I had my son, she wasn't there. I lost mine in 2006. JUDGE LAKE: And he's blessed that he has that. So, I wish you the best of luck, okay? SMITH: Okay. Take care of that beautiful baby. Oh no. Thank you. Thank you.
