 Oprah is on court Jury duty! | |
Chat show host Oprah Winfrey is set to take part in jury duty service in Cook County, Illinois. She is one of 300 prospective jurors who will report to Cook County Court on Monday to hear criminal trials.
Officials said that although she will not get special treatment she will be allowed to use a separate entrance to avoid disruption.
Whether on not she is chosen to sit on a jury, millionaire Winfrey will get the standard $17.20 (£9.33) fee.
"Obviously, due to her popularity and her status, there is the potential - if she would come in the front public way - to cause a commotion, confusion or a possible security issue," a court spokeswoman said.
"It's in our best interests, and hers, that she be brought in in as relatively calm and quiet a fashion as possible so she can perform her duties." |
