Jesus Christ Beats Jury Duty
Jesus Christ Beats Jury Duty
Jesus Christ was excused from jury duty in Birmingham, Alabama last week for being disruptive. According to court officials, Christ kept asking questions instead of answering them.
Additionally, when the potential juror was asked to state her name and answered “Jesus Christ,” the jury pool broke out in laughter. However, the judge was not amused and promptly excused Christ from the jury pool. Christ, a 59-year-old-woman, was originally named Dorothy Lola Killingworth.
According to CIrcuit Judge Vowell, “[Her name] raised eyebrows, so I asked her if that were truly her name. She assured me that it was. She had her name changed in the Probate Court, and she presented her driver’s license.”
According to the press, Christ was unavailable for comment. Though court administrator Sarah Turner did say, that unlike some residents, Christ didn’t try to get out of jury duty and was “perfectly happy to serve.”
