Murder charges dropped against illegal alien—translator botched Miranda rights"Murder charges dropped against illegal alien—translator botched Miranda rights"
Antonio M. Martinez-Nunez
Last month, a judge in Ohio ruled that an interpreter failed to properly inform Antonio M. Martinez-Nunez of his rights prior to police questioning. The 31-year-old illegal alien was charged with murdering another illegal alien in a Columbus suburb over drug territory.
As such, any statements made by Martinez-Nunez would be suppressed during trial…Basically, eliminating the state’s case against the illegal alien.
Martinez-Nunez speaks only Spanish.
On Wednesday, Assistant prosecutor Mark Wodarcyk announced that there was no longer sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial.
Wodarcyk told The Columbus Dispatch: “His statements were the cornerstone of our case. We were left with insufficient evidence to go forward and have any reasonable chance of succeeding at trial."
Martinez-Nunez was charged with nine separate criminal counts, including aggravated murder and abuse of a corpse in the August 2009 death of Armondo Casillas Castanedo.
Castanedo’s body was found in a parked car in Reynoldsburg. An autopsy revealed that he had been asphyxiated.
In February 2010, Martinez-Nunez was arrested by U.S. Border Patrol agents when he attempted to re-enter the country illegally in Texas. While in custody, Reynoldsburg police conducted a phone interview with Martinez-Nunez through a Spanish interpreter. However, another interpreter working for the defense later discovered that the initial interpreter failed to give the illegal alien a complete reading of his Miranda warning.
Martinez-Nunez is currently in the Franklin County jail awaiting deportation.

Illegal Mexican enjoy not only dual-citizenship (LoL), but complete immunity from US law. Ya just can't get any beddern' dat!
The invasion is complete, and the true enemy are the people who welcomed this now borderless entity we live in. I despise 99.9% of the s/bags that inhabit this country posing as American nationals.
