Toddler Called For Jury Duty
POSTED: 10:24 am EST January 16, 2006
TAUNTON, Mass. -- There was a problem when Kaylee Reynolds recently received a summons to serve on a jury.
She wasn't nearly old enough to read it.
Reynolds is just 2 years old, giving her 16 more years before she's old enough to be called to jury service.
Not to worry, said Massachusetts Jury Commissioner Pamela Wood. Reynolds will get a 16-year grace period.
Wood guesses a mistaken birth date on a census form probably led to the erroneous summons to serve on a Taunton District Court jury.
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, said Kaylee gets really cranky if she doesn't get her noontime nap.
