A week ago, I received a subpoena to appear as a witness in a criminal case.
The defendant in the case was someone who I had never heard of, so I called the judge’s office to figure out what I was being summoned for.
Turns out, someone with my name, who also lives in my town, is missing a subpoena. I am still trying to work my way though the bureaucracy, to get this cancelled, or I will have to show up to court for no other reason than to avoid a contempt charge.
