This would make Law & Order AWESOME.

I assume the reason this is on Probably Bad News is the pun in the first sentence…
Couldn’t do any worse that human juries!!!
Technically this isn’t a news but a census fail and thus shouldn’t be on this site. But whatever, it cracked me up all the same. I’m just concerned the cat may be prejudiced as soon as it thinks something fishy is going on with the defendant.
Yeah, the fail really is that “pun”… because, really, the difference between a voiced postalveolar affricate and a voiceless bilabial plosive is far enough that you really can’t call it a pun at all. But you can call always call the bad wordplay that the news seems to delight in a fail.
oh well. the cat looks like it’s ready for it anyway
This sure isn’t a news fail, as most of the fail lies within the jury commissioner, but it probably is bad news nonetheless.
I say show up for jury duty just to show the county what a stupid mistake they made. I bet the lady doesn’t even make it into the building with the cat.
i wretched at that pun, we need to get some torches and pitchforks and go medievel on whoever wrote this article, cuz that pun is a crime against humanity
Yes, they should be pun-ished for that.
I’d really like to see the video of the woman taking her cat to the court.
The jury commissioner probably rejected their appeal because I have tried to use the excuse “I’m a cat” so many times to get out of jury duty. Sorry I ruined it for everyone else.
The best part is that the jury commissioner rejected the appeal! I mean, anybody could honestly mistake a cat for a person (happens to me all the time), but when someone points it out and you STILL reject consensus reality and substitute your own… wow.
A jury of one’s peers. Maybe they’re trying a cat burglar?
In before “I’m in ur jurries …”
They actually didn’t even try using “I’m a cat”, they wrote to the jury commissioner saying “He does not speak English”, which the commissioner did not buy. Instead of explaining to him it was a mistake, they just treated it like a big joke…
^That should STILL disqualify him!
No, they didn’t treat it like a joke. They just filled out a standard form explaining why someone should be disqualified from jury duty. There isn’t a “This isn’t a person” or “You tried to summon a house pet” box to check, so they chose “Doesn’t speak English” as the best option. Now they’ve gotten a letter from their vet to clarify Sal is, and indeed always has been, a cat.
I’m so doign that for my cat!
How can the cat vote on a jury anyway? Do they break out 2 bits of paper with guilty and not guilty written on them and where the cat sleeps is its vote? Also if the cat has to be a juror how would they pay it for its time? Personally I’d pay to see how they get him to vote.
@ conformist138 – isnt there a box for if the person is a minor? I am, of course, assuming the cat is under 18 here. *chuckles* But that would have been a more easily disqualifying option I’d think.
It is odd though… around here jury duty is pulled from registered voters, not from the census.
Obligatory Monty Python!
- There’s no such thing as a bloody cat license.
- Yes there is! … I bleeding got one, look! What’s that then?
- This is a dog license with the word ‘dog’ crossed out and ‘cat’ written in in crayon.
- The man didn’t have the right form.
He’s such a cute cat!
Actually, even without speaking English he might do better than some human jurors. Cats are often better judges of character than people are. Moreover, a cat would be much less vulnerable to jury tampering. LOL
“Moreover, a cat would be much less vulnerable to jury tampering.”
Oh Yeah? You never used Tuna Fish.
jury kitteh sez u r gulltee and that u go to jail
If a cat can co-chair an official political party, why not jury duty
