What a great defense this judge just created. How about this:

Scene: Courthouse anywhere USA
Presiding: Idiot Liberal Judge with a Social Agenda

Defense Lawyer: "Yerrr Hooonnnorrr, myie client, Mr. ____, a citizen of Lower Yitterbia, was purportedly arrested for possession and transportation of an illegal substance, allegedly (whatever...cocaine, LSD, hash, etc.) found during an illegal search of da' vehicle he was riding."

"As you know, yeeeerrr hoooonnnoorrrr...myie client was just transporting dis vehicle for a friend and had absolutely no knowlege that the alleged illegal substances on the front seat were illegal, or even what they were."

My client, being a citizen of a foreign state, does not "read, write, speak, comprehend, know about, think in, or in any way, shape or form had the time, opportunity or ability to learn the English language. He speaks a dialect of Yitterbium known only in his small community. "

"He was not given his Miranda rights in Yitterbium and therefore, consented to a search of the vehcile under pressure from the jack booted thugs that stopped and intimidated and accused him."

Prosecution: "Your honor, defendant has a Ph.D. in Yitterbium and is employed as a nuclear physicist in that country. He is illegally here."

Defense Attorney: "Objection, yeeerrr hooonnnorrr! All of that is irrelevant as to whether or not he had the chance to know of the charges against him before the police searched his vehicle. I move for a dismissal on his constitutional right to be informed in a language of his peers."

Idiot Liberal Judge: (To the prosecutor): "Why did you bring these obviously spurious charges? Can't you see the man can't speak, read, understand, interpret, know or do anything in Engish? I'm dismissing this case on the ground that defendant didn't know English and wasn't given his Miranda rights in Yitterbium. Further, I want you, the officers involved and the police chief to write a letter of apology to the defendant. I want the police officer who purported to arrest the defendant investigated by the office of internal affairs, I want the officer retrained and put through a "sensitivity" class."

"Mr. Defendant, you sincere apologies to you for this inconvenience. You might also want to consider filing a civil rights suit against these officers."

"Case dismissed."
