A Nottoway County, Virginia, woman who has multiple disabilities says she was classified as a fugitive, arrested, and handcuffed in her wheelchair after missing summonses for jury duty as a result of her medical conditions.
She was then made to appear in a courthouse that is not ADA compliant and lacks legally required handicapped accommodations, she said.
