Most people, including, alas, most of my friends, do not like jury duty. The mindless waiting, missing work and general boredom.No doubt, Sal the cat feels the same.
The Massachusetts cat has been called for jury duty.
The problem arose after Sal’s owners, Anna and Guy Esposito of Boston, Mass., filled out the latest U.S. census form listing him as part of the family but as...a cat.
When the family received Sal’s jury duty notice earlier this month, Anna filed for Sal’s disqualification of service, choosing his reason as he is “unable to speak and understand English” out of the 10 other statutory disqualifications listed by the Massachusetts Judicial Branch.
The jury commissioner denied the request.
The Espositos hope to clear up the confusion before Sal’s service date at Suffolk Superior Court on March 23.
If not, Anna said she’ll have to bring the feline to court.
The law has clearly gone to the dogs [man, that was lame...].
meow,
Johnny Boy
