In his fictional autobiography, Judge Timothy Philpot discusses many real life events both outside and within his courtroom including descriptions of actual cases. Listed below   are the third set of disguised characters and clues about their actual identities 21. JANET GUY AND DARIUS BARNHART Disguised characters: Janet Guy and Darius Barnhart Background: Janet and Darius are Paternity Court litigants. Janet is described as “A typical young lady who got pregnant and became eligible for government benefits and knew the father was in jail. A drug addict, with six kids by five women. She never planned to be anything other than a single mother, just like her own mother."

Listed   below   are the second set of ten groups of disguised characters and clues about their actual identities 11. Jerry Turner and Tonya McDonald Jerry and Tonya are   Domestic Violence Court Litigants.   Jerry is Tonya's latest boyfriend against whom she   presents a poorly handwritten complaint asking for “no contact” due to violent abuse. However, she changes her mind and recants in court. This was her fifth petition against five different men who had fathered her babies. Jerry actually agrees to a domestic violence assessment but the judge fears that "… when he sobered up, he would likely be so mad he would not cooperate and probably would not be allowed to see his baby at all." 12.
