We have a right to a voice. This is 2016, things should be different now. We may not have a voice but we have the right to use our hands to talk for us.

The legal system should be treated equally for everyone including Deaf people with the interpreter at the court.

Only one word to describe this is unfair, how can a man defend himself without having the chance? Absolutely disgusting and should be thrown out of court

I cannot beleive how ignorant the judge was in this case. To allow the case to go ahead without any interpeters at all in the hearing. Where is the equality?? And where is the justice to a fair hearing ??

Deaf people have right to access an interpreter through everything i.e arrest, interview, court etc. Don't treat Deaf people different. Treat them equal like everyone, no matter who they are. Respect!!!!
