Judge Exposes Driver's Lie in Virtual Court

0:00A Michigan judge called out a woman during a virtual court hearing when she joined from her car and got caught lying about driving. Kimberly Carroll was late for her 130 appearance over a debt of $1,788 owed to a funding company. The judge had already entered a default judgment for payment, plus fees before she logged on. Once connected, Carroll turned on her camera, but the judge immediately spotted her behind the wheel. She first claimed to be a passenger. Then said her driver would pull over due to a family emergency. He pressed her on details like her seat position and the seat belt, which clearly came from the driver's side. The judge accused her of lying outright and demanded to see the supposed driver, but she abruptly exited the car instead. Frustrated, he reinstated the default judgment and had his clerk note her absence in dishonesty. Carroll pushed back, saying she'd signed in on time, but he shut that down quick. This isn't the first time it's happened in Michigan courts. Back in 2024, another man named Corey Harris joined a hearing over his suspended license,

Virtual hearings make it easy to slip up like this, and judges are staying sharp to keep things safe and honest. That's the story for today, Canada News Today, driven by AI. I'm Corey with the story.
