In a Colorado courtroom, Attorney William Kozeliski unintentionally addressed Judge Elizabeth L. Harris as ‘honey’ during a case discussion. The incident occurred while arguing the details of People v Delgado, a sexual assault case. James David Delgado, convicted in 1994 of rape and other charges, was seeking a reduction in his prison sentence. Kozeliski’s slip of the tongue led to an awkward moment as he struggled to regain his composure. Despite attempts to continue, the exchange remained uncomfortable. Social media reactions highlighted the embarrassing nature of the situation, with users comparing it to calling a teacher ‘mom.’ (Dailymail)
