Regular readers of !michigan@midwest.social will remember last week’s post about defendant Corey Harris driving with a suspended license…while Zoom-calling the judge. There’s still more to the story and I hate to call it the punchline…

A segment of a Washtenaw County Trial Court livestream on May 15 was spread widely after Corey Harris called into the hearing while driving. He was charged in April after reportedly driving with a suspended license in Pittsfield Township.

A USA Today report claimed it was a misunderstanding and that Harris’ license was supposed to be reinstated in January 2022 but wasn’t due to a clerical error. During a follow-up hearing on Wednesday, June 5, Simpson said the reinstatement applied to Harris’ privilege to drive in the state and that he didn’t have a license to begin with [emphasis mine – r² ]
