Lawyers for Yeh mentioned include Paul Kemp and John Pierce. Not sure about their hearing status, but unlikely. Big cases like this means money and exposure for the bloodsuckers…er…lawyers involved, so paying for a terp would not be a hardship in this instance. Sources: Fookem and Bug, and The Washington Post.

Of the two brothers, i.e., Joseph and John Yeh, Joseph is reputed to be the “Dragon” and within their culture, that means he’s the dominant sibling.

I’m guessing John may have to enter a guilty plea plus testify against his brother to get the best possible outcome for himself and his wife.

Thanks Karen Mayes. Even if he is guilty or not, John Yeh’s reputation is ruined and of course many others as well. The court will probably take a year or two (or even longer) because it depends on the interpreter(s) availability.

As a witness of the DUI case (incident in May 2008- nearly hit the man on sidewalk avoiding hit me behind at the crosswalk), It has been a year and half now. I am summoned to the court in February ‘10. Within 1 year an half, a several times, the interpreter was not available and blah blah. The 55 or 60 years old defendant would’ve pleaded and accepts the probation (strongly recommended by her lawyer and the prosecutor) She refuses. It is likely the woman will go to jail in February because of her history. (Only if the interpreter is available). Can’t wait to get over with this.

Would anyone know who, as a lawyer, defends John Yeh? Is the lawyer deaf?

Nope, since those VRS providers received reimbursements from NECA, which is headquartered in New Jersey, the court is in their state, not elsewhere. All 26 indicted people will have to appear at NJ at their costs.

Monies distributed to VRS from FCC is done by NECA. NECA is located in New Jersey. Therefore, trial will be in NJ.

No, Dino, it’s a federal case, handled by FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation.) So any federal cases can be tried in any states.

So Mishka, we will see how it will play out in a few months. Still, it’s a sad chapter for us.

Defendants often use “not guilty” anyway. I thought it was occurred in Maryland.
