They were talking about this on one of the local talk shows. It gets more bizarre.
Apparently this creep went to High School, 2 yrs Community College and he talked to the cops and the DA. Then when it comes time for trial, he claims not to know English.

It is even worse."But a look at the court docket for July 17, the day the case was dismissed, shows the entry "Interpreter sworn.” Several items below in the docket, Judge Savage “grants defendant’s oral motion to dismiss case based on a speedy trial violation.”

A review by FOX News of the audio from that hearing shows, however, that an interpreter was present throughout the entire court proceeding, during which time Kanneh's lawyer, Theresa Chernosky, argued that her client had not been able to get a good job because of unresolved rape charges.

Chernosky is heard also telling Savage that her client works at a gas station, and has not signed up for school because of the uncertainty about his future. The translator can be heard throughout the entire hearing.

Savage, however, notes to that the events in the case were "unforeseeable, truly difficult in terms of the interpreter issue."
