Cat Called for Jury Duty

Someone should tell the Cattorney General about this!

I'd rather have him on my jury than the nascar guys anyday.

Gorf: That was FANTASTIC!

So much for that Augustana song where he'll move to Boston, "where no one knows my name"

Awesome cat pic, Miss C. Yours?

It will be hilarious if the cat ends up being chosen for the court case.

No, Johnny Cat, that is Sal himself, from the video.

The reason this happens is that they (or someone) registered the cat to vote. Jury summons rolls come specifically from voter records. Don't be surprised, in Chicago dead people vote all the time.

I say don't take the cat to jury duty and let the sheriff pick him up after the judge issues a bench warrant. I'd then like to see the judge's face when the sheriff walks in with the cat in tow. That would be hilarious.

Lawcat is law

OOooo jur-y dut-y, owowowowow (in paulie shore's voice)

Jury summons come from more than just voting records these days, though that's the most likely for a pet.

However, this looks like nothing more than a publicity stunt on the part of the woman. Other articles mention(conventiently left out on web sites like this) that she sent in the form to ask to be excused and marked "does not speak english" - rather than simply writing in "this is a family pet" and actually telling them what's going on. She's deliberately dragging it out, for the attention (and possibly to avoid getting int rouble for registering the cat to vote, which would technically be a crime).

Jury commissioners are selected for the position only if they can demonstrate both profound cruelty as well as stupidity. I see it everyday:

Judge: Why did you bring your baby to court?
Woman: I told the JC I had a baby and no childcare but he didn't listen.

Judge: Officer, why are you here?
Cop: The JC said that only you could excuse me. The County is paying me OT to be here.

Judge: Cat, why are you here?
Cat: Meow?

Im in ur juree considerin ur verdikt

The worst part is the cruel way kitties play with the defendent before rendering a verdict.

"Cat killer? Is this the face of a cat killer? Cat CHASER, maybe --- but hey, who isn't?"

caption to a "Far Side" comic, featuring a dog defendant and his dog attorney in a courtroom full of cats.

"Mr. Whiskers have you had any prior business dealings with the defendant?"

"Meow."

"I'm sorry, but this cat is biased and cannot serve on this jury."

Wow i cant believe that a cat is going for jury duty!! It will probably meow through the hole process.

Once we read this story, we knew we had to make it our limerick for the day: http://dailylimerick.com/2010/01/17/nine-lives-is-a-long-time-to-spend-in-jail/
