    One meow->"guilty", two meows->"not guilty"

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/news...y-service.html


    Cat ordered to do jury service
    A cat has been summoned to do jury service, even after his owners told the court he was "unable to speak and understand English".

    Anna Esposito, wrote to Suffolk Superior Crown Court in Boston, US, to explain that a mistake had been made, but a jury commissioner replied saying the cat, named Tabby Sal, "must attend" on March 23.

    Mrs Esposito had included a letter from her vet confirming that the cat was "a domestic short-haired neutered feline".

    Tabby Sal had been entered by Mrs Esposito under the 'pets' section of the last census. "When they ask him guilty or not guilty? What's he supposed to say - miaow?" She said.

    "Sal is a member of the family so I listed him on the last Census form under pets but there has clearly been a mix-up."

    A website for the US judicial system states that jurors are "not expected to speak perfect English".

    Take the cat in and make sure they give her a check for her day of service. It would be funny to see if either lawyer would try to get her excluded.

          I know of an officer that proposed putting a police dog ("The Captain") on the stand in order to ID a suspect.

              Why would anyone list a pet on a question asking about humans? I'm also suprised that they cull the jury duty list from the Census because I thought it was the voter rolls they culled from.

                Well, if it's put in the section about pets, it could make some kind of sense

                  I figure some S&M couples might have gotten confused about that section of the poll
