Woman Ripped By Judge For Zooming Into Court From Car, Lying About It

A judge has gone viral for ripping a woman who was supposed to show up in court and did not follow the procedures about doing it from her car - while driving.

Kimberly Carroll showed up late to her own virtual court date on Monday in Woodhaven, where she's accused by a consumer debt buyer of owing $1,788.08.

Judge Michael McNally chose to move forward without her in attendance and had entered a default judgment ordering her to pay the debt, plus filing and service fees, before she even joined the call.

Then, a clerk said someone with the screen name "iPhone" was trying to join the session.

After joining, the judge had her turn on her camera, which showed her

"You can not be driving ma'am," McNally said. "What are you doing?"

The woman told the judge she was not driving and that she'd ask her driver to pull over.

"Am I crazy or does it not look like you're driving that car?" he asked.

She denied it again.

"What side of the car are you on?" he asked.

She said the left side of the car - the one with the steering wheel.

"How would you be on the left-hand side if you're a passenger in the front seat? Am I missing something?" the judge asked. He demanded to see the driver, to which she responded by getting out of the car.

McNally then asked his clerk to write down that Carroll "was not available at the time and then was driving a car and telling the court she was not."

It was ruled a default judgement, so she'll have to pay that nearly $2,000.
