It's shit like this that pisses me off. This guy get's off because of not being able to find an interperator. The first one quit because it was to disturbing, now this guy will go out and harm someone elses child. I think this judge should be thrown off the bench. It's our Government's duty to protect us from creep's like this. I'm sure they could have fund an interperator. This asshole should have gotten the death penalty but noooooo, now this predator is running the streets.

"Prosecutors pointed out that Kanneh attended high school and community college in Montgomery and spoke to detectives in English."
#3) We need to Hang his ass like they would have 50 years ago.
I am not being racist. I am all for the noose. It is cheaper than paying for drugs to kill these fuckers.

I know that it was a female that left the court room could stand to hear it.

But he was speaking english to the detectives therefore he spoke ENGLISH.
