Dog receives jury duty summons
Recently man’s best friend has been called upon to perform duties beyond simple unconditional love and loyalty. Earlier this week, there were reports thata canine in England was invited to vote in the upcoming European Parliament elections. Now, canine civic responsibility has hit the States.
On Friday, a jury duty summons was sent to “IV Griner,” a New Jersey German Shepherd. As reported by WKYW CBS 3, the name on the summons is the same name that appears on the pooch’s vet record. IV’s owner, Barrett Griner told the station, “Nobody in my house is named IV except the German Shepherd.”
After the initial shock, Barrett, whose full name is Barrett Griner IV, figured out that “IV” was entered as his first name on the summons through a clerical error.
He was right. The notices are computer-generated in Trenton’s District Court offices as Dennis Moffa, Cumberland County Judiciary Coordinator, told WCAU NBC Philadelphia. "This happens many times…I think that the computer probably randomly picks some things that are probably not as on point as they should be," said Moffa.

Sure, people post pics and names of their pets on social media, but that’s a time-wasting hunt and peck method when the PTB can simply pad the voter rolls by merging the dog licensing database with the voter registration list.
Easy to see how IV could end up with a jury summons. Probably been voting absentee for years. Drip drip. :-\
The poor tricked dogs see the box marked “Demoncat” and all say, “Well duh!”
that should have been JUROR.
Getting kind of late for me.
I’ll bet that pooch is a registered democrap!!!
drivers license in the late great state of California.
Reminding me again of why I patronize a vet in the next county over.
That dog licensing notice that arrived after everybody got their rabies vax? Phfffffffft!
Dog is probably registered to vote in multiple places.
I’ll bet that dog is smarter than some of the jurors that I had to sit with for a solid week.
I don't see the problem here. I say impanel the canine.
