An illegal alien, accused of causing St. Johns County, Florida, sheriff’s office Sgt. Michael Kunovich’s death, has filed a federal civil rights lawsuit claiming his limited English-speaking skills make him disabled.
As Breitbart News reported, 19-year-old illegal alien Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez of Guatemala was arrested in May 2023 and has been charged with resisting an officer with violence and manslaughter in connection with Kunovich’s death.
This week, Aguilar-Mendez’s defense attorneys filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Kunovich’s estate, Lt. Jose Jimenez, who also responded to the incident, and St. Johns County, claiming that their client is disabled because he does not speak English or Spanish and was thus denied his rights under the “Americans with Disabilities Act” and the “Rehabilitation Act.”

I don’t think that will fly here in Florida.
Notice they didn’t name his lawyers? I wonder why.
Court appointed attorney, no doubt! One who speaks the same language as the criminal? Wonder what his name is.....
It’s his scumbag lawyers doing this.
Blame his lawyers if he can’t speak English or Spanish.
>>Shoot him in the head—no more limited English skills or disabilities. Sick of these scum getting away with murdering Americans.
and the scumbag lawyers too.
The obvious solution is to defund the police.
They can spend their own money learning to deliver the Miranda rights in multiple languages.
(/s for the sarcasm impaired.)
I live in an adjacent county. Too old to serve on the jury even if I resided 3 miles east.
If found guilty, I think the sitting garotte would be reasonable. Although WIKI says there are close to 2 dozen languages in Guatemala, I think it unlikely that he didn’t understand any Spanish. Once upon a time, in grad school, drifting on the River Usumacinta ...
Most of my family and I have spent our lives putting people back together. Physicians, surgeons, biomedical engineers. But I’m pissed.
Let’s try the Spanish Donkey on the lawyers if their case fails. Or the bastinado should they have already reproduced.
GOOGLE SAYS OFFICIAL LANGUAGE OF GUATAMALA IS SPANISH
A case like this one emerged in Miami. That was about 30 years ago.
The charge was serious, but the case was dropped due to the inability of the prosecutor to find a translator.
Virgilio Aguilar-Mendez once again three hyphenated names like this is going to make a difference
Who’s paying for the perp’s lawyer/s...
With a little digging you can get the info...
Betcha there’s some newsworthy stuff there...
