YARMOUTH, Mass. (AP) ? Like many people who get summoned to jury duty, Jacob Clark didn't want to go.
But unlike most people, he had a legitimate excuse ? he's 9 years old.
"I was like, 'What's a jury duty?'" Jacob told the Cape Cod Times (http://bit.ly/FPM8wV) in response to his summons to appear in Orleans District Court in Massachusetts on April 18.
His grandmother told him it was a good excuse to miss a day of school.
His dad called the jury commission office to find out what happened. It turns out that someone apparently had typed 1982 for the Yarmouth third-grader's birth year instead of 2002.
The mistake was quickly corrected.
Massachusetts Jury Commissioner Pamela Wood says a child gets called for jury duty once or twice a year.
