Title: Cat summoned for jury service
Post by: eye30 on January 30, 2011, 17:21:06

A tabby cat has been selected for jury duty in the US after his owners registered him on a state census form.

However, the request for the cat's exemption was refused by a jury commissioner and Mrs Esposito was told that Sal 'must attend' Suffolk Superior Crown Court.

She said: "When they ask him guilty or not guilty, what's he supposed to say - meow?"
