foxnews | Charges against a man accused of repeatedly raping and molesting a 7-year-old girl were dismissed last week because the court could not find an interpreter fluent in the suspect's native West African language.

This is FUCKED UP! Since when can we not find an interpreter for ANY language? What if they guy was Mute? Just because you cannot communicate means you can go around raping little girls? Seriously what the fuck??
Plus, the guy obviously can both speak and understand english!
foxnews | ...he originally spoke with detectives in English
|
foxnews | FOX News spoke with a man who claimed to be Kanneh in a five-minute phone conversation on Sunday in English. He said the allegations against him were false and the dismissal of the charges was "a good thing." Asked if the accusations were true, he responded, "I said what I had to say" and hung up.
|
I just want to see where in the law it says that even if you speak and understand english, you are immune from prosecution for even a horrible crime unless people can talk to you in your native tongue?

he attended highschool and college in the states... but needs a translator that can speak some tribal language to describe the charges against him. and as far as i understand that since he cannot otherwise understand the charges then he cannot be charged.
this can only happen in America!
if i was the father of that poor girl i would go there and translate the charges for him myself... using some blunt weapon

Seems that more and more cases these days are being resolved using technicalities in the law, loopholes even, rather than hard evidence. This guy got the best of it (good for him, bad for the rest). Innocent until proven guilty, well ya can't prove me guilty if I don't speak English...
O wait, No puedo hablar ingles.

Every single person involved in that case should be lined up and shot. When they protest tell them we can't find anyone that speaks English to translate for them.
Hold the fucking phones ... murder is illegal??? since the fuck when???

And I think we would have a better time tracking criminals if everyone had an RFID chip in their arm.
|
Just those convicted should get the chip. I agree with the first part.

yeah fuck all the holiday makers who bring shit loads of money into your country...

Theres a difference between living in our country and vacationing in it you twit.
|
hehehe just the reply I was wanting.
In your original statement you made no such differences between the 2 situations mainly through rushing (at a guess) and not being able to see what a phrase can elude too.
The same can be said with legislative material (laws) if they are not properly thought through of all situations things can be taken to mean other things, much like the the topic on which this thread is based.
