What happened in the viral video
So here’s what happened. Harris was scheduled to appear virtually before Judge Simpson. While his public defender introduced himself inside the courtroom, the Michigan man decided to make a call from the driver’s seat. The entire interaction from there is recorded in a one minute and fifty second video.
As soon as Harris joined the call, Judge Simpson followed him! The Ann Arbor district judge didn’t even let the defendant say “hello” at all before asking him, “Are you driving?”
Without hesitation, Corey shot back, “I was actually planning to go to the doctor’s office. So give me a second.”
The judge’s face immediately turned half-smiling, half-confused. He even removed his pen-holding hand from the frame, looked around the courtroom, and put his hand on his chin.
A few seconds later, Judge Simpson asked Corey, “Are you standing still?” Again, Harris reassured the court that he was “engaged” and then enthusiastically said: “Yes I.”
After the public defender explained that she and Harris were seeking a three to four week delay in their case.
“So maybe I don’t understand something. This is a driver with a suspended license,” Judge Simpson asked. After the lawyer confirmed, the judge replied: “And he was just driving, and he didn’t have a license.”
That was the moment the Michigan man realized he was being **brutal**! His mouth opened slightly and an “Umm” escaped as his lawyer confirmed that her defendant had indeed been driving without a license.
How does a judge react when a defendant is driving with a suspended license?
As the Zoom call continued, Judge Simpson expressed shock and gave Harris consequences.
“I don’t even know why he did that. Therefore, the defendant’s bond is revoked in this manner. The defendant will turn himself in to the Washington County Jail by 6 p.m. today. Failure to surrender will result in a no-bail arrest warrant.”
The Michigan man responded by leaning his head back in the driver’s seat and whispering, “Oh my God.”
