For the past three years, Luzerne County, Pennsylvania officials have sent Jamie Walling a summons for jury duty. And for three years in a row, she has failed to show up. Walling isn't a scofflaw. She's dead, a fact that's driven home each time summons arrives at the home she had shared with her mother. "When you bury a child and get stuff like this through the mail, it's very upsetting," said Donna Walling.
