No I dont know what you mean -Are you saying Daffy should not get death penalty and should not go jail but get help?

Well, Look - Daffy knew which is right and wrong. She COMMIT a horrorfic crime! That’s unexcuable!

I have known deaf who went to prison for their crimes.

Death penalty is focus on what Crime Daffy did - NOT based on her mental or psychological issue. She know what she was doing.

Be careful what you say. From what I know.. Most of Deaf community felt that death penalty is appropriate, some dont think it is right.

South Dakota applies the Death Penatly depending on how bad crime would be.

I met couple deafies who went to prison for Domestic volience. The strong emphasize is that Hearing and Deaf is no differene.

Again, Daffy knew what she was doing, it was premediated murder (That means - Daffy have been PLANNING On murder Darlene!!!) It is not manslaughter case, it’s MURDER 1st degree - Felonious murder, kidnapping, and dismembered Darlene.

I understand your comment that Daffy had cutted Darlene in many pieces.

I would like to give you an correction: Daphne cutted Darlene IN HALF (Legs and Torso) NOT in many pieces - I have been following up with this case VERY CLOSELY and am aware of most of what is happening. I have many sources and a good friend who lives in SD.

Right.. Darlene is innocent person and doesnt deserve to be killed.

You weren’t only ones, Many deafies thought that Daffy cut her in many pieces, I had corrected many of them, she cut her IN HALF not peices.

I’m not trying to critcize you but want to let you know the facts.

I had watched this ABC News - I do agree with some of you, and one thing was emphasized that death penalty has nothing do with deafness or disablities - It is focused on the crime that Daphne committed.

Some asked me if I’m support or against Death Penalty. I had told my answer, I couldn’t give a answer or share the opinion. Due to too many religions tells differently about death penalty. There is a hot debate on this issue.

Let court system and the justice take care of Daphne; She is stupid ENOUGH to murder Darlene over jeaousy and rage - She murdered her for NO reasons. Darlene is completely native and innocent.

Hope you would spread the words to other deaf the facts that Darlene was cutted up in half not in many peices.

The same phenomenon occurred at Gallaudet when Jordan and Kelly oppressed the deaf students. They perceived the deaf students as being weak, and they arrogantly assumed they (Jordan and Kelly) would be victorious.

Their arrogance forced the deaf students to go to the extreme of performing nonviolent civil disobedience.

This was all due to the extreme arrogance of Jordan and Kelly. They made the huge error of misjudging and misperceiving the deaf students. They were not weak at all. They were incredibly strong and had justice on their side.

This will be the lesson of history to the hearing and audist world: Deaf people are not weak and they are not disabled.

UFG has proved this to the world for all time and for all history. This is why the UFG protest will prove to be one of the major social events of the 21st Century.

Maybe not! No matter how the terps or CART system are excellent. We still face real obsctales like the jurors’ real attitudes toward deaf people or how the trial being accessible to deaf spectators.

Courtroom interpreters ought to have formal training in the judicial system. Not all assigned interpreters to be qualifed certified to the courtroom, especially major trials.

I personally witness the real abyss of questionable quality of courtroom interpreters in DC from time to time.

I was a victim of physical assault by someone hearing at the public facility - Library of Congress pretty long time ago.

The hearing male 40s somewhat stabbed the sharpened pencil in my shoulder area without any reason. Luckily, the Library of Congress police had the video footage of physical assault on me.

The prosecutor in DC informed me that my case against this individual will have the green light as the Library of Congress police force stood behind me 100 percent.

From my personal knowledge of the DC courthouse interpreter coordinator, I requested the Office of the U.S. Attorney to obtain top-quality interpreters of my own choice. They did accomodate my request.

The DC courthouse interpeter coordinator seems was not very happy about this kind of arrangement. That interpreter coordinator is CODA and gay himself. I personally don’t trust him at all.

Another incident with the courtroom interpreters, I was falsely accused by the WMATA police officers to save their own asses from being sued for wrongful arrest.

The local court did provide terps, but not at the last phase of court date with several different judges over time. I vigorously objected to the lack of terp presence to the judge. I was told “Mind your business! “. I almost walked away til my lawyer begged me to return to the courtroom.

I was given a choice of getting the court date to be postponed with terp available or went ahead with the final proceeding of the court arragement.

The court really played emotional and mind games with me like assigning the court case to several different judges conspired with the WMATA police officers and WMATA people and pressured me to plead guilty for what I never done anything unlawful.

My court case had been unnecessarily extended over two years to wear me emotionally and mentally down, because I refuse to plead guilty to the simple assault charge on law enforcement officer. Why would I assault the officer while he slapped my notepad and pen to the floor at the time of arrest.

The police arrest report was very fishy from the beginning. The court-appointed lawyer was not very helpful til I spoke with one of the judge on the federal level for legal advice and other things. I tried to fire my court-appointed lawyer with no luck. I found out that the hiring of criminal lawyer was not really very easy.

For example, the prosecutor repeatedly stated that the arresting officer really do not want to see me ending up in prison. Why he write up the false arrest report in the first place?

The prosecutor instructed terps to leave the premise while the court-appointed lawyer and prosecutor spoke to me without presence of terps at the lawyer galley.

I always thought of the judicial system to be real noble and fair. If not for my strong-willed personality and personal determination to prove myself totally innocent of all the charges against me. Where will I end up in?

The WMATA people have the history of approaching deaf people in wrong way for years like Eduardo Burkhart and other deaf individuals.

The WMATA police officers did grab one of the deaf rider’s arms and lift him up to the place to arrest him without talking up to this person. Someone falsely accused this deaf person without any proof or talk to other people. Luckily, someone came to the rescue of this deaf individual and told the police officers about the related incident on the bus. The police officers suddenly release the deaf person with no questions. Unbelievable!

I strongly believe that there are many injustices within the judicial system for deaf people.

Greg, if there are ADA violations, then the lawyer should file for an appeal, especially if there is no CDI.  I wonder why NAD is quiet, not objecting on the lack of CDI.

Ken, about not using my quote, I can understand the reason because they want to interview people on camera. However you have a good point. Why not interview a Deaf expert, like from Gallaudet or a Deaf lawyer? What about the NAD Law Center?

Saw her on the ABC News on tv last night. Captioning was not very good.

Sorry we will not see you, IamMine, on your vlog this time.
