That sucks! What a numbskull judge. You should be blaming the numbskull prosecuteor who could not find an interpreter after 3 years.

You can have "diversity", or you can have the rule of law. You can't have both. It's not the state's fault they couldn't find someone who could speak coconut. We shouldn't be letting these people in to our country to begin with.

Is that the official language? :laugh2:

[glockmail]

Doesn't this set up the perfect defense for an illiterate man? Or some guy who just made up his own language?

It's the courts responsibility to find and provide an interpreter, not the prosecutors.

#1) If he lives in our country and doesn't speak our language. Thats not our problem. He broke the law he shouldnt get special treatment cause of his language issues.
#2) This is a direct quote from the article
"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.
