I am referring to the 2009 Federal case in which the Claremont Hispanic police officer was writing his reports in Spanish and being harassed because of it. They might have been in English and Spanish.
If this was the 6 weeks long case would have told them the defendant was guilty and I believed in death penalty. Thought should get me off pretty quickly.
