Criminal of the week–Mahamu Kanneh…

Since no illegal immigrants have stepped up this week to claim the award, we will hand it to a swine who is using his foreign citizenship to manipulate the courts into letting him off the hook for raping two little girls.

By now, you’ve probably h….

I guess they will have to get Hillary Clinton as your translator. She be multi-lingual.

This sick piece of human waste knows enough about life in this or any other country no matter what the language is that he was breaking every law in the universe with a one and a half year old child. Shame on everyone envolved for letting this monster out of jail.

Since he’s from a country who’s “Official” language is English, was it the judge or the prosecutor that was hornswaggled by the defense? If the prosecutor didn’t think it was necessary, why didn’t they appeal the judges failure to schedule trial in a timely manner?

Sounds like a case of defense lawyer hocus pocus to me.

I heard last night that the embassy was right across the street from the court house.

Guess they needed a map to find an interpreter.

jrlingreenbay, Wow. If that’s the case, I have no idea what they were waiting for.

As sick as this, let’s remember that these “loopholes” are designed to protect the accused from corruption, abuse, and misconduct. Waiting for a trial for three years is absolutely absurd. It’s hard to blame the judge for being fed up.

If there truly was an intrepreter on hand and the judge erred, I’m confident that this will take care of itself and will end in a sexual abuse conviction. The system works.

I noted in a previous posting that according to the legal paperwork, a psychologist had certified that the defendant

a – understood the charges against him

b – was able to assist in his own defense

c – had an adequate understanding and ability in the English language ( although did recommend assistance )

So – he understands what he’s charged with, can assist in his defense, and can speak and understand english.

What’s the problem? Try the man!

Does this mean that, if arrested, I can stall a trial by demanding a translator for my “dialect” of American English? I may misunderstand a word or some body english from the trial judge or a witness, and would thereby be denied a fair trial.

I feel sick. Surely the pathetic judge knew this. There’s no longer an excuse for the language thing, because it turns out that the monster does speak enough English, and that there was a translator on hand.

I hope the prosecutor does not let this go.
