Lawyer to the judge on Zoom meeting-- “I’m here live, I’m not a cat."
Texas attorney Rod Ponton joined a virtual meeting of the District Court and couldn't figure out how to remove the filter that turned him into a cat. He ended up promising the judge he was actually there, live, and not a cat... which the judge already knew.
The judge says he shared the video, not to mock the attorney, but to show the legal system's dedication during the pandemic.
On Twitter, Judge Roy Ferguson said "These fun moments are a by-product of the legal profession's dedication to ensuring that the justice system continues to function in these tough times."
This happened during a trial over a man allegedly trying to leave the U.S. with contraband.
No word on how the case came out. All we saw was the cat.
