Kansas Supreme Court rules a non English speaking defendant must receive translated closing arguments. Domingo Santia go Calderon, convicted of second degree murder for a 1998 stabbing, did not have closing remarks translated, prompting a new trial bid. The ruling, 5-2, deemed the absence of translation violated fair trial rights. Justice Tyler Lockett wrote for the majority with dissents from Chief Justice Kay McFarland and Justice Bob Abbott. Calderon had a translator earlier in the trial, but the judge prohibited translation of closing arguments. The case centers on Calderon's right to confront his accusers and participate in proceedings in his language.
