A 4-year-old Connecticut girl mistakenly received a jury duty notice due to a data error, but was quickly excused.
A 4-year-old Connecticut girl, Zara Ibrahimi, mistakenly received a jury duty summons, prompting her father, Dr. Omar Ibrahimi, to question the state’s selection process.
The notice, part of an annual pool of 550,000 residents, was generated using state databases like the DMV and voter records, but birthdates are not included in data from the labor department, leading to the error.
Ibrahimi, who found the situation humorous, used an online form to request her removal, citing her age and incomplete preschool education.
The judicial branch confirmed the mistake, noting such errors are rare and that Zara will be excused.
Her older siblings have not yet been summoned, and the case was resolved without further action.
