It's just a symptom of rubber-stamping. I'm sure someone looked at their appeal for removal from the jury pool, saw a Latino name and just went "DENIED" without reading the content. And now it's a news story.

I want to see the Defendant get the case thrown out because they're being retarded with the jury.

As a point of law I'm not sure you can call for a mistrial due to mistakes in the bureaucracy.

You can call for a mistrial if one of the jurors isn't your peer and is incapable of jurorying you.

Wouldn't the cat first have to make it through the selection process?

"Mr. Fluffles, do you know Mrs. Johnson or have you heard any details of this case from the media."

"Mrow."

"Thank you sir, you are dismissed."

You don't use freedom Penguin. First you demand it, then you have it.
No using. That's not what freedom is for.

Eh, better than a horse for senator. Oh wait.
Wasn't the entire horse-senator thing made by Caligula to criticize the Senate?

Might've been a good senator, who knows?  "So yeah, I've got plans for invading Egypt. Everybody with me?" "Neigh!"

I thought he did it because he was batshit insane, myself.

So, cat on a jury. I didn't recall seeing Animal Rights going L+ on us. Strange.

Nothing says support of mass consumerism quite like a goat though.

That's what L+ Animal Rights laws get you. I for one welcome Quadrupedal Americans to the legal system.

They should have just brought the cat in, without appealing it. Epic confusion.

the judge would probably be like "Is this some fucking joke?". the owner will pull out the summons papers then the judge finds the commissioner and starts whacking him with the gavel saying "You think law is a joke!?!?".
