Cat Called Into Jury Duty!!!!!??


I know I’ve tried to skip on jury duty a couple times but saying your a cat to get out of jury duty??? That’s a bit CRAZYYY!!! In this case Boston has really called a cat into jury duty!!

@Ash_Bankz

Boston resident Sal Esposito recently got called in for jury duty. He might have some problems performing this required task, though, as Sal is a cat.

The problem arose after owners Anna and Guy Esposito listed him on the last U.S. Census under “pet.”

Anna filed for his disqualification of service. He was not “too old,” “ill,” or a “convicted felon,” so she filed that he “cannot speak English.”

The jury commissioner denied this request.

According to WHDH Local News, Sal is still expected at Suffolk Superior Court on March 23. His owners are still trying to clear up the misunderstanding, but if they fail, Sal will be making his first appearance in court.

    If I were thecat’s owner I’d just take the cat on in. when the judge decided the cat was getting on his nerves or in the way he/she would certainly dismiss the cat or at least realize it’s a cart and kick it out of the court room. Lol what is wrong with our judicial system when they can’ t discern a jury of your peers from common household pets?

speak up
