BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Court officials say a Birmingham woman who changed her name to Jesus Christ didn't live up to it when she reported for jury duty this week. The woman, previously named Dorothy Lola Killingworth, was sent to Judge Clyde Jones's courtroom for a criminal case Monday.

Court officials told The Birmingham News Tuesday that the 59-year-old was excused because she was disruptive and kept asking questions instead of answering them.

Efforts to reach Christ for comment were unsuccessful.

Court administrator Sandra Turner said people there were shocked when the woman insisted her name was Jesus Christ and some potential jurors laughed out loud when her name was called.

But Turner said unlike some Jefferson County residents, Christ didn't try to get out of jury duty and was "perfectly happy to serve."

Under Dorothy Lola Killingworth's yearbook picture...

"Most likely to rename herself after our lord and savior and not live up to it whilst being that annoying person at every social event"

UPDATE:

Jesus Christ will release a statement on the matter through her spokesman Pat Robertson, since they speak daily.

I know. What? She couldnt atleast change here name to Mary?

 

[SuperFerret]

Mary wasn't Mary Christ though. That'd be inaccurate.

Not just Mary. Virgin Mary.

 

[SuperFerret]

Virgin is not a first name.

[DarkReflections]

Virgin is not a first name.

It may not be a real first name, but it would be funny.

 

[Manic]

Virgin is not a first name.

It can be. I'd name my daughter Virgin, but I just know she'd turn out to be a stripper or porn star because of it.

 

[SuperFerret]

Still doesn't make it a name.
