This Colorado Man is a real hoot as he took "Harvard-educated" stuffed owl to court as his defence attorney.
Charles Abbott, who was in court accused of breaking a protection order involving his former roommate, wanted to make sure he had the best legal representation and so, he brought the stuffed owl, the Daily Star reported.
The 67-year-old man, from Aspen, who allegedly snuck into Michael Stranahan's house while he was out, said he was there to collect some of his belongings but his ex-roommate claimed he had actually taken some of his possessions too.
Abbott, who reportedly told the court the cuddly toy, named Solomon, would be representing him, added that the toy was "a sensitive guy" who had law degrees from Yale, Harvard and Stanford.
However, Pitkin County Court Judge Erin Fernandez-Ely did not bat an eyelid at the creature sat on the defence table, instead carried on with the court hearing.
The protection order was upheld and Abbott was told he could attend the same church as his 75-year-old ex-housemate, but he was not allowed to have any contact with him.
