Connecticut Jury Duty Summons Mistakenly Sent to 4-Year-Old Girl
In an unusual administrative error, a 4-year-old girl named Zara Ibrahimi from Connecticut received a jury duty summons. This incident highlights a rare occurrence in the state's jury selection process, where more than 500,000 residents are called for jury duty each year. The summons was sent to Zara, a preschooler, despite her being far below the legal age requirement for jury service. The situation has drawn attention to the mechanisms of the jury selection system and the potential for errors in the database that manages these summonses.
