“Look at a bigger picture: a human being whose life was wrongly taken away and her family is still suffering.”

That is not looking at the bigger picture.

The “bigger picture” is that EVERYONE receive due process. Due process is bigger than all of us and is the heart and soul of a modern democratic republic.

Will the trial make any difference? We are wondering the same thing, too : /

The parents of the victim have already forgiven Daphne Wright prior to the first trial. The generous spirit of the parents amazed me.

Even if she gets a fair trial, would it make any difference?

Look at a bigger picture: a human being whose life was wrongly taken away and her family is still suffering. Obviously, the concern for Daphne is greater than the victim’s family.

I agree … Even Daphne is guilty (It is so obviously), she must gets a fair trial due the hearing people who failed to recognize her civil rights.

Due to a plenty evidences, I would like to see her to stay in jail in the processing of getting a new trial. Yes It is a time consuming and waste money – but I want to hearing people to be educated. They are so ignorant.

I agree since she should have a fair trail regardless to due process. It is the right way to show the due process that the court should remedy to the defendant’s needs to be met. Also, I agree she can’t go free since it’s already set the precedent in the first place due to the evidence. That’s what I recall in the law unless that state law may state otherwise.

Diane, she was in jail prior to the first trial. I doubt she will be released on bail if she got a chance for a new trial.

InsaneMisha, yes, her not getting fair trial was very obvious to me and other Deaf people. Even though many of us think she is guilty, she has the right to a fair trial. She shouldn’t be penalized due to the failure of hearing people to recognize her civil rights as a Deaf person.

Wow…..I’ve been following this story on and off. I hope Supreme Court would take into the consideration on the defendant’s right access to the correct kind of interpreter even though she may be guilty of the crime that she committed.

Let’s see how it progresses…..

Will she be released if …. *Puzzled* Not comfy if she gets out of jail and waits for a new trial.
