Dog chosen for jury duty?... New Jersey resident Barrett Griners checked his mail last week and found that one of the mail items from his local county clerks office was not for him; it was for his 5 year-old German Shepherd dog, IV. The notice, addressed from the Cumberland County Clerk of Courts, was a juror summons for someone with the first name IV and the last name Griner; the exact name Barrett Griner IV says he legally gave to his dog. She’s a female, so I named her IV without the Y as sort of a play on words. Somebody had to physically type in that name and they didn’t pay any bit of attention to it, he said. As it turns out, the mix-up was actually due to a fairly common computer error.
