This one seems pretty routine. Two prior misdemeanor DWI convictions. Eligible for probation from the jury if convicted.But there is a hitch: The defendant doesn't speak English. So what we have is an interpreter (guy in tan) speaking in Spanish into a cup looking contraption that the defendant can hear via an earpiece.
Eight man, four woman jury. All white.
Bob Estrada out of Wichita Falls is the defense lawyer.

"Eight man, four woman jury. All white." Barry has turned into a real racist.
Let's wait to see if that person kills someone - just like in Lewisville, then we can lock them up. I am a firm believer in we all make mistakes, but he already has been convicted of 2 others? Good golly!!
Probably guilty but he doesn't stand a snowballs chance in hell even if the evidence is in his favor. WC folks don't take too kindly to non English speakers.
It's not racist to comment on the ethnic makeup of the jury, especially if the defendant speaks a different language than everybody on the jury. I think it says more about registered voters in this county if the defense team couldn't seat any hispanic jury members
Aside from all that - two priors means he should go for the long bus ride
The evidence will convict him, rascism will sentence him...just watch, bet he gets the max!
If the offense was within 4 days of a payday, he's guilty. (if he gets paid weekly)
If you live here there is NO excuse not to speak English. So many opportunities are given to learn the language, if it just from your kids going to school. I'm shocked when I go to the post office and so many people sending money to Mexico take their kids or grandkids with them to get stamps. So if you wind up in court, you may have to depend on someone other than a family member!
An all white jury in Wise County? How in the hell did that happen?
he's cooked
(1) I have to question how an all white jury can represent a jury of his peers!?
(2) Why are the people in the USA so stubborn about other languages? If you live in Texas you should at least know some Spanish! Other countries' citizens know SEVERAL different languages. Americans are so lazy they refuse to be bothered with trying to learn a second language. As American citizens we have the intelligence and the resources to learn any languages we want to but those resources are seldom used. And how do you know how long a legal alien has been in the states? Don't assume that just because they are older that they have been here for years. It might just be that those people taking their grandkids to the post office to ask for stamps haven't been here long enough to grasp the language. Not to mention, if you moved to another country and were attempting to learn their language, how bold would you be when speaking to strangers in public? Probably not very, especially if someone had laughed at you or harassed you about it in the past. Get over your language barriers people! Get over yourself.
Is he here legally? If not why are we wasting time and money. They needed at least one Hispanic on the jury so they can't say it wasn't a jury of his peers.
Mexicans cook good so let's not put'em all in jail.
4:10, I live in Texas and I do know some Mexican but they are all cuss words. Is that good enough for you? I need to ask you though, how do you say liberal weenie in Spanish?
Liberal wienie = weinie liberales in Spanish = Barron Green in Wise County...
Double Fake Jose Cannu Si
4:41, It probably translates the same as conservative knuckle-head. I'm not sure how being unafraid of culture makes me a Liberal, but I'm certainly not ashamed of the label. I just want to know how people in the U.S. can expect foreign people to learn a language that we ourselves can't even master. There are very few Americans who speak proper English...and I bet you aren't one of them. I certainly don't speak it well enough to be criticizing someone else trying to learn it.
You all make me LAUGH with your shear ignorance. Mexicans ARE white people and they live on the continent of North America like us.
7:45, we ain't ignorant, Mexicans are more Aztec than white. Oh, except for the elite that rule the country.
6:37, I'll bet you are one of those liberal weenies that is for open borders and amnesty for illegals aren't you? If you are, do you lock your house when you leave?
Some questions. What are requirements for citizenship in the U.S.? Don't you have to be able to speak English? (I'm going to assume that is a prerequisite...I know assuming is dangerous). So, I'm guessing dude is not legal. Draw your conclusions from there on out. As has been said on here by the author of the blog...IDIOCRACY!
8:15, I am neither Liberal nor Conservative, etc. I don't follow any one political party because I have found that all groups have their idiots. I do not support open borders, nor do I support amnesty for illegals. All I said was that Americans should not be so quick to criticize someone who can't speak English as their second language when we can't even master it as our first! Keep commenting, though. You're proving my point.
DAGO;How many translators would you think it would take to have a fair jury?Do you think you would get one in Mexico?If that isn't the one we call sneaky Pete there are at aeast two Messecans over there with three dwi's.If he has been here long enough to get three of them he should learn the lingo.You know the old saying,they are like ccue balls the harder you hit them the more english they speak.
9:42, If that is all you said then why did you make two points at 4:10?
7:45, you are the ignorant one. We are not white like you nor are we Hispanic. Hispanics are the Spaniards, the people of Spain. We are not Spaniards. We are Mexica, people of Anahuac. We are the Nican Tlaca (Indigenous people)of, and the true owners of this continent. We are not Spaniards or the property of Spain. Calling ourselves Hispanic denies us our true Nican Tlaca Anahuac idenity. Now you know who we are. We will breed your decendants out of existence until they are blended into the Nican Tlaca. We are not white like you.
"North Korea has sentenced an American teacher to eight years of hard labor and ordered him to pay a $700,000 fine after he crossed illegally into the country - the fourth U.S. citizen to be detained by the islolated regime since last year". North Korea knows how to handle illegals. We will give this one a nice jail cell with HVAC, good food, and television.
Hey 12:39 When you breed us out of existence, who you gonna get to run things for y'all? You've done such a great job south of the border.
With 2 DWI's no one should get off. Look what happened in Lewisville.
They should start teaching foreign languages in about the 1st grade when the kids can learn it easier.
Go to Mexico and see how many Mexicans speak English. We go there to spend money and they still won't learn english, they come here and take money and they still won't learn english.
double fake Santa Anna
What would he get for a third DWI in Mexico?
I don't think that it should matter whether he is Mexican, English, German or whatever, if he has had 2 DWI's, then the third one should get him sent somewhere, jail or back to Mexico. And do you thing that if I moved to Mexico, that they would learn English for me. And aside from that most of them can speak (or at the least understand English), and if you do not believe that, tell them something that they did not want to hear.
Mexicans seem so happy on the surface.
A few rocks would wipe that smile off their face.
DAGO;We were breeding the Nican out of them messicans until the dope dealers shut the border down,Even Papaguyos is closed.
