Ann Arbor, Michigan – In a shocking turn of events, Corey Harris joined his courtroom Zoom call while driving, leaving the judge and legal team in awe. The incident took place during a trial on May 15, revolving around Harris' driving with a suspended license case.
During the proceeding, the assistant public defender floated the idea of ​​Harris joining the Zoom call, at which point he quickly appeared. However, District Judge J. Cedric Simpson quickly noticed that Harris was wearing a seat belt and that his vehicle was clearly in motion.

Expressing surprise, Judge Simpson asked Harris directly if he was behind the wheel. Harris replied, “I'm actually walking into my doctor's office. So just give me a second…I'm parking right now.”
As the judge processed the situation, Zoom cameras captured the bewildered looks on the faces of the public defenders, who appeared disappointed. People sitting in the back of the courtroom tried to hide their laughter.
Seeking clarification, the judge threw his pen on the table, put his hand to his face and asked if Harris had come to a complete stop. Unfortunately, Harris hadn't.

When Harris finally parked, his legal team asked for a four-week adjournment for the case. However, Judge Simpson was not inclined to accept the request. Expressing bewilderment, he said, “Okay, so maybe I'm misunderstanding something. This is a case of 'driving on a suspended license,' and he was just driving… and he didn't have a license.”
Verifying the statement with the assistant public defender, Judge Simpson briefly reviewed Harris' paperwork before making what was probably the easiest decision of the day. Harris' bond was immediately revoked and he was ordered to turn himself in to the Washtenaw County Jail at 6 pm that evening.
