If you are accused of driving with a suspended license, you probably shouldn't show up to a virtual court hearing while driving.

      “I’m a bit nervous with this being my first court case, so I hope you don’t mind that I’m a bit drunk”

      For real though, why was his license suspended in the first place? Like, I feel way differently about this story if the defendant is a repeat drunk driver vs someone who just didn’t pay to register their car or whatever.

        There’s also the non-zero chance he wasn’t informed his license was suspended. Not sure about Michigan laws on that though.

            Gotta love “silence is an admission of guilt” in a country where you have a right to remain silent.

        It doesn’t matter why, it’s suspended and he shouldn’t have been driving regardless of “was it right or wrong”. He dug himself deeper in the hole
