Ever Had Jury Duty? Well Apparently A Cat Got Jury Duty! (video)

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/01/13/cat-jury-duty_n_808031.html



Boston resident Sal Esposito recently got called in for jury duty. He
might have some problems performing this required task, though, as Sal
is a cat.


The problem arose after owners Anna and Guy Esposito listed him on the last U.S. Census under "pet."



Anna filed for his disqualification of service. He was not "too old,"
"ill," or a "convicted felon," so she filed that he "cannot speak
English."


The jury commissioner denied this request.


According to WHDH Local News,
Sal is still expected at Suffolk Superior Court on March 23. His owners
are still trying to clear up the misunderstanding, but if they fail,
Sal will be making his first appearance in court.

This is absurd!

LOL Just when you think you've heard it all...

How moronic is this?!

i HAD THAT WEAK ASS BULLSHIT THEY WANTED ME TO COME all the way across town for 25 fucking dollars like I'm some cheap ass whore. I told them to kiss my ass and threw that letter in the trash.

I received a summons in 2008, but I couldn't go because I was busy with classes.

The guy at the DMV told me you only get them when you register to vote. And I think that's why people don't register, no one wants to do that crap.

That's interesting. Never knew that. You learn something new everyday.

Hahaha.

My parents always find a way out of jury duty. I'm not old enough yet (a few more weeks) and then anything's game for me.

Am I the only loser who would love to do that?

I'd be better than the cat.

So Tank, I'm a registered voter (even though I can't vote for another year and a bit) so does that mean I could get called for jury duty?

I don't know. I'm just going by what I told. But the thing is I NEVER received a notice until I registered. I was NOT happy about that.
