“It’s amazing how some people can navigate through life with this level of thinking,” another X user stated.

Corey Harris himself has not publicly responded to the video that has taken over the internet. A few other reactions read:

“The poor public defender lol,” one netizen stated.

Corey Harris courtroom video recalled as viral clip leaves the internet in splits

In the viral video, the court judge could be seen asking Harris if he was driving. In response, Corey Harris said:

“Actually, I’m pulling into my doctor’s office, actually. So just give me one second, I’m parking right now.”

Corey Harris’ attorney then asked for an adjournment for a few weeks after noticing her client’s blunder. However, the judge asked for more clarity on the key point of his case. Simpson said:

“OK, so maybe I don’t understand something. This is a driving while license suspended [case], and he was just driving, and he didn’t have a license.”

His attorney then confirmed that those were the charges against Corey Harris. The judge then took a long pause while he looked around the room and eventually ended up smiling at the bizarre situation at hand. Simpson at the end revoked Harris's bond and ordered him to turn himself in to the local authorities by the end of the day.

The judge had not publicly commented on the incident at the time of writing this article since it is still a pending case.
