    I feel like this isn’t the “oh shit im an idiot” face so much as the face of a person finding out they’re not as entitled as they think they are.

    People who think they’re entitled are super annoying to deal with. I feel bad for pda. (And would absolutely love to listen to that phone call)

    Edit: I looked it up. It was probably a misdemeanor the first time. (93 days in jail and/or $500 fine,)

    So it was entirely possible that the dude could have gotten off with a fine or maybe probation. But nope. He stacked another and is going to jail.

    The public defender was on her game. She immediately asked for an adjournment, hoping the judge wouldn’t catch on.

    The judge definitely caught on.

    …hello?

      Judge Cedric Simpson is one of the sharpest judges who regularly appear on Youtube. He doesn’t appreciate being taken for a ride.

    Lol, I just mentioned this in another thread.

    Like, I know missing court is bad, and he was probably on his way there when he gave up to call in…

    But man, you’re trying to get out of jail for driving without a license. Driving to court is bad enough, don’t facetime the judge while driving.

      He says in the video he was just parking at the doctor’s office. 🤣

        I like to think he tried to come up for a reason for missing court, and went with “doctor” instinctively, forgetting he was on a video call and not sick, and likely wouldn’t have scheduled a doctors appointment for the exact same time he had court to try and postpone jail by a month.

        But I dunno

        This dude might have double booked.
