Simultaneous Translation: Criminal Responsibility

Backhouse Dept: However phrased, Adenir DeOliveira will not be going to jail for pushing two teenage boys in front of an onrushing subway train, according to The Star. DeOliveira, a 49-year-old immigrant from Brazil who was dishevelled and apparently disengaged from proceedings throughout the trial even as a Portuguese interpreter provided simultaneous translation showed no emotion, no response at all, when it became clear he would soon be free of prison cell walls and exempt from criminal responsibility: Another way of saying not guilty. Ontario Superior Court Nancy Backhouse delivered her verdict Monday morning in the judge alone trial, with both teens sitting in the courtroom. As reported in the news.
