All kinds of craziness exists in the court systems with finding jurors. Once my 93 year old mother was summonsed to jury duty, under her maiden name! I once received a jury summons for a county that I last lived in as a college student. (I’m now retired.) Last year my deceased father received a summons for jury duty and a form for renewal of his driver’s license! In my present county there have been summonses sent to a D.A.’s infant daughter and to pets with human names. In both cases, the summons was stamped, “Must Appear.” So the D.A. had his wife bring the baby and a woman was stopped at the door and told that cats, even in carriers, were not permitted! “But officer, it clearly states he Must Appear!”
If this is the best they can do, it makes me doubt I’d get a fair trial if accused of a crime!
