A cat in Boston has been called to jury duty even though his owner has insisted to court officials that the cat cannot speak English.
Sal the cat recently received his summons to appear at Suffolk Superior Court on March 23.
His owners, Anna and Guy Esposito, filed to have Sal disqualified for jury service, but the request was denied.
In her application, Anna Esposito listed that Sal "is unable to speak and understand English," one of 10 statutory qualifications for disqualification from service. (Others include "not a United States citizen," "under age 18" and "over age 70.")
