5 y/o boy summoned for jury duty

I think they should let him serve. He couldn't do worse than some jurors I've seen in the past, and is liable to do better, if he's as good at seeing through BS as my kid is

He'd probably do as well as some of the pople I've been on jurys with.

If they get the names from the voter rolls, as most election boards do, how did the 5 year old get on it? I can see dat n Chicago, but not elsewhere.

Cook county (where Chicago is) summoned me a few years back. Problem is I don't live in Cook county. I called them to explain and it would have taken me a trip downtown with all kinds of signed and notorized paperwork to prove I did not live in Cook county to get out of jury duty. It would have been a day of vacation from my work too.

Instead I reported for jury duty, which works lets me off for. When they asked me to verify my adress I gave them my current one in McHenry country showed them my drivers license and they told me to go home.

I'll bet a 5yo would actually make a fine juror. He has yet to be influenced by a lot of people, and he'd be cut and dry.

Is the person a bad man or a good man. There's his decision.

Maybe we need 5yos on juries.
