Cat Called Up for Jury Duty

I really think the Vehicular Manslaughter case for Toonces ended in the wrong verdict. The defense should have voir dire'd the jury better to eliminate the cat members on the jury.
 
Did this ever really happen at all? The whole thing smells like an urban myth.

Last time it was linked, there was a local news station as the link and not huffpost. Can't comment any further, though.

Since animals are property and not people they aren't technically citizens, so I would think that would be an easy "out." Or can non-citizens serve on juries?

Don't believe so. Jury duty is considered one of those responsibilities as a citizen. Most states figure it out by driver's licenses, so it's possible they'd call illegals, but odds are they wouldn't show up.

Well, if the cat can drive, then I'm sure he can handle a little jury duty.

I'm just waiting for all those people who stated their religion as "Jedi" on the UK census form to be called up to use their Force powers in Afghanistan.

A person who works where you register to vote over here, told me -- while talking her up -- some funny stories, including one guy who crossed out "Republican", "Democrat", etc, and filled in his own political party: Jedi
