Cat summoned for jury duty
This story starts innocently enough. The proud owner of a pet cat decided to put him down as a family member on a city census. Even though it was listed as a pet, that seemed to be enough for the Suffolk Superior Crown Court in Boston, which subsequently summoned the kitty, one "Sal Esposito," to appear for jury duty.
Since the court doesn't exactly include an opt-out for pets, Sal's owner, Anna, marked that Sal was "unable to speak and understand English." (We guess "here kitty, kitty" does not count.) But hey, nobody's perfect. The response: Sal was expected to appear for duty.
The jury commissioner would like us to know that the error was actually quickly corrected, and no cat actually sat for a jury of its peers in a superior court. But that did not stop the story from going viral on the Web. Searches on the cat-astrophe lifted on "boston cat jury duty," "cat jury duty," and "sal esposito."
