Woman gets kicked off court Zoom call while making PB&J sandwich, video shows
Asja Outerbridge appeared in the 36th District Court before Judge Sean Perkins for a misdemeanor after she was accused of having an open alcohol container as a passenger in a car, WJBK reported.
When it was her turn to appear before Judge Perkins, he asked why she was late. She responded saying she received a letter stating her court hearing was scheduled for 1 p.m., but then held up a piece of paper which showed it was scheduled for 9 a.m.
'I got multiple court dates, so I called to get the Zoom number, and they had told me like, 'Oh, you're supposed to be there right now.' What I had said 1 p.m.,' she told CBS News Detroit. 'I hung up with them, and hopped on at 9:22 a.m. exactly, and waited there from 9:22 to 11:30.'
During the hearing, Outerbridge was making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, WJBK reported. She can be seen wearing a robe, scooping peanut butter and talking over the judge, video streamed on the court's YouTube page showed.
'We can't speak at the same time. … Put whatever you're trying to prepare down,' Perkins said to her.
He also told her to get 'properly dressed.'
Outerbridge told the judge she was making a sandwich for her sick daughter and that she had a T-shirt on under her robe.
'I definitely was wrong. I could have came dressed better and more prepared, and I don't want to judge to think that I'm laughing at the situation at him because I'm not. I take that very seriously, I do genuinely, with a serious face, apologize to the judge,' she told CBS News Detroit, adding that she wouldn't have been 'making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.'
Within two minutes, the judge kicked Outerbridge off the call.
Over two hours later, he brought her back on. During her second appearance, the judge accused Outerbridge of 'rolling her eyes' before setting a trial date for her.

Russian man, 88, dies after homemade helicopter falls apart on takeoff
An 88-year-old Russian man, who gained local fame for building his own aircraft, has died after attempting to take off in a homemade helicopter. The man, a resident of the Omutninsky district of western Russia's Kirov Region, attempted the flight in the self-built aircraft on Thursday, the Volga Region Transport Prosecutor's Office said in a news release Friday. However, the helicopter self-destructed during take-off, it added. The aircraft failed to lift off and, instead, 'during engine startup, while still on the ground and as the engine power was building, the main rotor blades detached. This caused injuries to the pilot, born in 1937,' the district emergency services told Russian state-owned news agency RIA Novosti on Friday. The man was taken to the Omutninsky District Hospital, the regional transport prosecutor's office said. However, he died hours later, RIA Novosti reported. The vehicle was unregistered and the circumstances of the incident are being investigated, the prosecutor's office added. RIA Novosti named the dead man as Vladimir Trapeznikov, citing law enforcement. He was a self-taught inventor who dreamed as a child of becoming a pilot, according to local media and social media channels. While he ended up becoming a driver for a logging company, he gained local fame for building flying machines. Successfully flying a homemade airplane led him to feature in a short film in a 'Panorama' cinema and TV newsreel in 1985, according to RIA Novosti. Trapeznikov made a total of five aircraft, according to reports, dying after attempting to launch his latest creation. He is not the first person to try to take to the skies in an aircraft of their own making. A man in the UK spent his spare time during the coronavirus pandemic building a plane in his garden for his family. An Ethiopian man spent 10 years researching, using aviation manuals and YouTube tutorials, and almost two years building a DIY plane in order to fly to his own wedding in 2015.

The shooting at NFL headquarters raises hard truths, but no easy answers
Ten years ago, the killer looked like so many high school football dreamers. In a YouTube video that now seems eerie, you can meet Shane Tamura before his mind turned to murder. He's the star of the game swaying through an interview, his shoulders buried beneath oversize pads. His eyes are wide. His teenage facial hair has stage fright.
