East Boston cat called to jury duty
BOSTON -- Duty calls for an East Boston resident.

Someone is getting called for jury duty...but it's no human.

A family is trying to figure out how their pet cat was summonsed for jury duty.

“I said, Sal, what’s this? You know, I don’t believe it I was shocked,” said Guy Esposito, Sal’s owner.

Sal’s owners, Guy and Anna Esposito, think they may know the source of the mix up: Sal really is a member of the family, so on the last Census form, Anna Esposito listed him under “pets”.

“I just wrote ‘Sal Esposito’, scratched out the ‘dog,’ and wrote, ‘cat,’” said Anna.

Anna filed for Sal’s disqualification of service. However, the jury commissioner was unmoved and denied the request.

Sal’s service date at Suffolk Superior Court is set for March 23. Anna said that if the issue isn’t cleared up by then, she will simply have to bring the cat to court.

It's not so much that they called a cat for jury duty, accidents can happen after all, it's the fact that they then turned down the disqualification request.

I agree - the jury commisioner was presumably made fully aware that it was a cat, in which case they're a frikkin' idiot.

Similarly, Ben Goldacre (of Bad Science fame) has managed to acquire all the qualifications that Gillian McKeith has for his cat as well.

To be fair, she's one of the biggest frauds on TV, and there's some stiff competition for that.

I saw a clip of him traumatising some Michael Jackson fans.
Wasn't he the one who was sacked from Most Haunted as he is a complete charlatan?

Yup, and really the entire production should have been sent with him, as they were all complicit with his fraud.
