Kudos to Stephen Beardsley – attorney, gadfly and downtown New Albany advocate:

Justices examine translator case; Court considers providing interpreter for all non-English-speaking defendants, by Lesley Stedman Weidenbener (short shelf life for some Courier-Journal links).

Attorney Stephen Beardsley of New Albany argued yesterday that the court should pay for translators to help all non-English-speaking defendants, regardless of their income.

“An interpreter — so key to fundamental due process — is part of the basic apparatus of the courtroom in the same way that a court stenographer, as a bailiff, indeed as a judge is,” he said.
