Kitty called for jury duty: LINK




I want to see this actually happen -- too good to pass up! Exhibit A: Cheeseburger


The user comment by someone going by hoeech, about sums up what should really happen here.

How can they tell which way the cat is voting?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Why don't they just ignore the summons? There's no real person with that name, so there would be no one to arrest.

Never mind hanging chads -- how about chewed up chads?

Miss Chicken has informed me that if she called for jury service and finds out that the accused does not own a cat but owns a dog she will find them guilty no matter the crime, no matter the evidence.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I can haz objection?

OK, I need to see the threadbomb for that now.

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Would this qualify as a L&O-lcat?

 

[KimMH]

At least the kitty isn't on the "No fly" list like that 8 year old kid from Az.

She should totally bring the cat to court. Sal will be a big hit.

 

[SeerSGB]

If I was the defense attorney, I'd insist on having he cat on the Jury, then turn the whole trial into a media embarrassment for the prosecution

This makes me happy.

Funny story, but it has me a bit confused -the combination of a name and an address is the only requirement for a juror?

Here you have to be a registered part in the democratic process to get jury duty; not just a voter (everyone over 18 has the right to vote) but a member of a party! -plus you'd need a CPR-number (~social security number) which only people have.

Is it a story about some overworked public servant entering the cat into the system by mistake? -I just don't understand how something like this could happen!

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

I wonder if my cat can then get a credit card?

I think that would be easy! -I mean, Santa's Little Helper got one!

Generally speaking, you need to either be registered to vote or have a driver's license. Somebody screwed up. However, since the request for an exemption was denied, if I were the owner, I'd show up and let the chaos ensue. It's not their fault.

Thanks, I am a bit more at ease with your system now
