Another shocking twist in the case of Michigan man who joined court Zoom call while driving

The Michigan man who called into a court appearance for driving with a suspended license while driving — and then blamed it on a clerical error — is back in jail after yet another wild twist in the viral story.

Washtenaw County Judge J. Cedric Simpson revealed Wednesday that after digging through court documents and state records, Corey Harris, 44, has never had a valid driver’s license.

The judge also discovered that Harris had an outstanding warrant for, naturally, driving with a suspended license.

“Let me make it very clear, based on what the court looked at — [Harris] has never had a Michigan license. Ever,” Simpson, clearly annoyed, said. “And he has never had a license in the other 49 states and commonwealths that form up this great union. He has never had a license.”

Didn't pay his child support, never had a license, never followed up on suspension, never attempted to get a license, and blaming everyone but himself while talking about his ties to the church and the community. Absolutely not accountability or honesty of character. Kudos to the judge for doing due diligence!

Cedric Simpson is a great and honorable judge. He did the right thing by checking everything thoroughly and explaining the facts in detail. I am sure he would have made it right too if he had made a mistake. I wish all of our judges were like him.

The judge is a real one. He not only educated the defendant, he also educated his lawyer. Checkmate.

[doudymac]

We went from: "This dude is dumb" to "We owe him an apology" to "Ok he's super dumb"
😁

[davidredfern]

This judge is old school justice ⚖️. Which is exactly what we need right now 👍

[sarawashington]

Well done Judge Simpson👏👏👏That fool is blaming EVERYONE for his own mistakes. Even his new lawyer said 'HANDLE YOUR BUSINESS'!!!!

[samjay]

Finally, the truth comes out what a crazy twist. He can’t blame anyone else but himself.

[donnastokes-manning]

Lord do we need far more judges like this one. The only one to BLAME is the man who blamed it on clerical error. I hope it works out, but only if he admits he made a mistake.

[styldsteel]

I find judge Simpson to be such a breath of fresh air. Really captivating.

[baymixesdjtools]

Corey and his Lawyer were on TV yesterday sounding like they were ready to bring up a lawsuit but now it looks like he got some explaining to do!

[nymetsfan]

I love watching Judge Simpson. He’s probably the most fair but firm judge you can find and I hope he continues to practice for years to come.

[shockerthedan]

This Judge needs to be given a show....I would definitely watch

[pennkeuka]

Well, one thing I did learn from this case is that suspension doesn't always mean what we think. You can have your driving privilege suspended but not actually have a license and you can be suspended even though you never renewed your license.

[raywhitehead]

Apparently, this driver, has never had a "driver's license" ever, in any state. Got that? There is no record ever, in any state.

[sushveg]

Absolutely love this 'old school' judge explaining step by step what his 'office' did thru discovery. And I agree with others, this country needs more of 'old school' judges to get our judicial system back on track in respectability.

[hydrobuu]

Judge came in with a giant sledgehammer of knowledge!!

[goldstarchoice]

I actually respect Judge Simpson. He's attempting to take accountability here, and he discovered there were no errors. He is simply stating the facts.

[Jar]

FYI, for those that didn't watch the whole court proceeding which was longer than 10 minutes. At the end he was arrested for an outstanding bench warrant in another city. The warrant was 5+ years old for, driving without a license 😆

[KenHuff-mbzd]

My my my. All those that ran to this man's defense saying there should be apologies. The judge has set it right.

[sunonymous]

If he lying to the courts like that, I feel sorry for anyone crazy enough to procreate with him. What a cluster…
