2살백이 배심원
2살짜리 예기에게 배심원으로 참석하라는 통지서가 마세츄셔서법원으로부터
발급되었다. 유무죄고 분간할 수 없을 뿐만아니라 글씨도 모른다고, 그리하여
16년간의 유예기간을 주기로했다 그러나 그 얘의 엄마는 아이가 낮잠을 자지 않으면
엄청나게 까탈을 부리고 짜증을낸다며 아주 묘한 표정을 지었다구,
허허 그 참 존 나라 미국이군 ㅋㅋㅋ ...
Two-year-old called for jury dutyShe wasn't old enough to read it.
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.
Besides her questionable understanding of the concepts of guilt or innocence, there are other reasons
why it's best to wait for Kaylee to serve. Her mother, Patricia, says Kaylee gets really cranky if she doesn't
get her noontime nap.
