- A judge refused to proceed with a hearing for a woman driving during a Zoom court call.
- The judge entered a default judgment against the woman for lying about her location.
- The woman faced a debt collection case with a judgment of $1,921.85.
A Michigan judge, Michael K. McNally, refused to conduct a court hearing for Kimberly Carroll on March 26, 2026, after realizing she was participating in the Zoom call while driving. Despite her claims of being a passenger due to a family emergency, the judge's observations indicated she was operating the vehicle.
Judge McNally found Carroll's statements contradictory, noting her position in the car and the seatbelt placement. He stated he would not hear cases from individuals driving. Consequently, he entered a default judgment of $1,921.85 against Carroll in a debt collection case initiated by LVMV Funding, citing her dishonesty to the court.
