A very young juror
Boobs story submitted by eyeswideopen:
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. Jan 16, 2006 — Kaylee Reynolds had a problem when she recently received a summons to serve on a jury. She wasn't old enough to read it.What I find interesting is that in this AP story, they identify the Jury Commissioner as Patricia Reynolds but then they keep quoting "Woods". Who is Woods? I think Patricia Reynolds is really the mother and Woods is really the Commissioner.
The 2-year-old has quite a few years to go before she reaches the minimum age of 18 to serve on a state jury. Lucky for Kaylee, Massachusetts Jury Commissioner Patricia Reynolds seemed willing to let it slide for a while. "We'll give her a 16-year grace period," Wood told The Standard-Times of New Bedford.
Wood guessed the mix-up could be traced to a local census form. If the form has a blank or mistaken birth date, July 4, 1776 is filled in. "With that date we'll know it is wrong," Wood said.
