In 2016, two attorneys met through work and fell in love. As their romantic relationship flourished, Brandon Dinetz and Jen Lettman turned to each other for help with their opening statements, a critical part of any lawyer's courtroom performance.
So when Brandon asked Jen to accompany him to his latest hearing, she was more than happy to attend. He told her it was crucial that she see this particular opening statement.
Unbeknownst to Jen, Brandon had spent the past five months creating and organizing a completely imaginary trial at the county courthouse in Palm Beach, Florida.
Brandon, a prosecutor, enlisted the help of an actual judge and defense attorney, and he concocted the details surrounding a fabricated DUI case.
When the judge entered the room, she asked if the state and defense were ready to proceed with the case. "Bring in the jury," she then instructed.
It wasn't until Jen noticed one of the jurors looked just like Brandon's dad that she began to realize what was actually happening. When she noticed another juror looked just like her own sister, she quickly broke down in tears and stared back at Brandon in shock.
