An Alberta judge has stayed sex charges against a deaf man because the courts couldn’t find an interpreter to help him understand the legal proceedings.
Court of King’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth says Longclaws was born deaf, is illiterate, does not communicate in a recognized sign language and is “wholly unable” to communicate with court and counsel.
Crown prosecutors had said the man's fitness to stand trial should be assessed before a stay was considered.
