Catastrophe in southwest Texas Tuesday when a lawyer mistakenly appeared on screen as a computer generated cat.
The boring civil forfeiture hearing took a weird and humorous turn when Presidio County Attorney Rod Ponton appeared on Zoom court in the form of a fluffy kitten.
For about 30 awkward, but comical seconds, Ponton attempted to remove the filter.
With other lawyers on screen smiling, 394th Judicial District Court Judge Roy Ferguson attempted to walk Ponton through the process of removing the offending filter.
Ponton said to much amusement, I’m prepared to go forward with it. I’m here live, I’m not a cat.”
Judge Ferguson had a laugh over the mishap praising all lawyers involved.
