East Boston cat called to jury duty

[chanel]

BOSTON -- Duty calls for an East Boston resident.

Someone is getting called for jury duty...but it's no human.

A family is trying to figure out how their pet cat was summonsed for jury duty.

“I said, Sal, what’s this? You know, I don’t believe it I was shocked,” said Guy Esposito, Sal’s owner.

Sal’s owners, Guy and Anna Esposito, think they may know the source of the mix up: Sal really is a member of the family, so on the last Census form, Anna Esposito listed him under “pets”.

“I just wrote ‘Sal Esposito’, scratched out the ‘dog,’ and wrote, ‘cat,’” said Anna.

Anna filed for Sal’s disqualification of service. However, the jury commissioner was unmoved and denied the request.

Sal’s service date at Suffolk Superior Court is set for March 23. Anna said that if the issue isn’t cleared up by then, she will simply have to bring the cat to court.

I think that she should bring the cat to jury duty (with all of the local TV stations in tow) and make a mockery of the whole situation.

Since jury duty lists are drawn, primarily from registered voter rolls, there could be a connection here with the likes of ACORN. This is not necessarily only humorous. It should at least be checked out.

LOL ~ At this point, Coakley looks to need the votes from both cats and dogs around the state!

I saw some story on Fox News earlier about some 8 year old boy on the 'no fly' list. Gotta admire the US Government for its remarkable ability to completely fuck up.

The more people we put on the census form the more government money we can get from the feds.

Considering we only get back 80cents on every dollar of federal taxes we spend we have to cheat ....could be worse and be like california getting 79 cents or like new mexico and getting $2.02.

I heard coakley was for a bill promising health insurance to all cats....but she said dogs should not be included....therefore Martha Coakley Hates Puppies
