Elizabeth Cape Cod made an excellent point earlier, that the the interpreter&#039;s, &quot;...interpretation of  facts may be conveyed to the juror in ways that are subjective or biased for or against the parties.&quot;   That&#039;s a problem with interpreters in general, and a big reason the ability to speak English should be a citizenship requirement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think everyone has a right to be on a jury. If they did those challenged by the parties could protest their exclusion. Being a juror is a job imposed upon, hopefully, a person competent to do that job. To properly interpret witness testimony, a juror needs an ability to comprehend verbal nuances. Those nuances may not be properly transmitted in a translation. Likewise, connection between body language and testimony that is often telling as to truth or falsity is likely to be broken by even a slight delay for translation. Not everything in this world is a constitutional right.]]></description>
