A video presentation can be challenging to those who are not technologically savvy. For a woman prosecutor trying to show evidence during a virtual court hearing in the graft trial of former Colombia president Alvaro Uribe, calling up the wrong file was embarrassing.
Prosecutor Marlene Orjuela was supposed to play before a judge the recorded phone conversations of Uribe’s two lawyers who were implicated in the bribery case. But Orjuela accidentally played an unrelated video of a person of short stature dancing to music while holding a bottle of liquor, New York Post (NYP) reports.
Orjuela next wrongfully played another unrelated video showing an artificial intelligence-enhanced video of a naked woman.
The blunder sparked laughter from the judge as Orjuela apologized for selecting the wrong clips collected from one of the lawyer’s phones, according to NYP.
Meanwhile, a physics teacher in Russia was forced to resign for enraging the parents of his 13- and 14-year-old pupils over a wrong video shown to them in class.
Razif Nurgaliev’s 40-year stint at the school in Tashkinovo village near Neftekamsk City ended after a student took a photo of him and the digital blackboard showing what he was watching from his laptop. The stolen shot reached the students’ parents.
Showing on the screen, in full view of the students, was an X-rated video from a website that Nurgaliev claimed he did not intentionally click from his laptop that was connected to the projector, but was directed to it while opening the site of an online journal.
His excuse did not appease the parents whose complaints prompted the school’s officials to let Nurgaliev go.
