Yesterday's courtroom proceedings in a motion to recuse hearing in the protective order case of Jazmin Perez vs. Candice Matthews brought forward some significant disclosures and allegations.
In open court, it was disclosed that Candice Matthews was hired by Derrick Johnson, the husband of Judge Damianne Curvey, to target his own wife after she sought protection from Johnson.
As a result, Judge Curvey was recused from the case. Matthews' attorney requested that a non-African American judge be assigned to the case.
The judge also informed the parties that the existing protective order of Jazmin Perez against Candice Matthews is still in effect. Likewise, a protective order is in effect against Kristen Dowdy who has allegedly made efforts to avoid being served.
Additionally, according to statements made by Candice Matthews' attorney, Ajua Justice, Jennifer "Nikki" Whitton is alleged to be the mastermind of creating the missing person hoax and fabricating stories alleging that Jenifer Knighton trafficked her and Whitton.
For months, the public has been inundated with sensational accusations, coordinated social media campaigns, and narratives presented as fact. Yesterday's hearing served as a reminder that what circulates online and what is presented in a courtroom under scrutiny are often very different things.

Sometimes, the truth has a way of surfacing when everyone is required to answer in court.
