For jury duty in Alabama — damn heretics.
Court officials were skeptical at first when on Monday a potential juror submitted a name change form with “Jesus Christ” on it. But the 59-year-old Birmingham woman, who previously went by Dorothy Lola Killingworth, assured the presiding judge that was her name.
“It raised eyebrows, so I asked her if that were truly her name,” Circuit Court Judge Scott Vowell said. “She assured me that it was. She had her name changed in the Probate Court, and she presented her driver’s license.”
Christ was sent to Judge Clyde Jones’s courtroom for a criminal case. She was excused because she was disruptive, court officials said. Instead of answering questions, she was asking them, a court employee in Jones’s office said.
Efforts to reach Christ today were unsuccessful.
Only in my home state.
I cannot see choosing as one’s name something sure to be yelled out on a frequent basis, although it does pose some interesting questions:
Does her middle name begin with an “H” or an “F”?
In the throes of sexual gratification does it bother her to hear her father called upon?
Is it possible the probate judge said something along the lines of: “I can understand not wanting to be called Dot, but Jesus Christ!” and the clerk made the error?
Does this name pose conflict of interest issues for jury duty, e.g., witnesses being required to swear in the name of one of the jurors?
Others rejected for the same jury:
Ima Killjudge
Gil Tee
Jesus Christo
John Fn Wayne
H — for haploid.
“Two men say they are Jesus
one of them must be wrong.”
That’s news to this guy:
It’s news to this guy too:

“In the throes of sexual gratification does it bother her to hear her father called upon?”

You guys are in serious need of psychiatric help. I’ll see if I can get you appointments with Dr. Batty.
