Black Woman spends an hour giving evidence in court before anyone realises she isnt speaking English
[link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

A woman who claims she was raped by a preacher gave evidence in court for an hour before anyone realised she was not speaking English.

The witness - who uses a distinctive Creole native to Sierra Leone - was repeatedly told by barristers at Inner London Crown Court to speak more slowly and stand further back from the microphone.

Lawyers blamed her accent and the 'acoustics' of the courtroom for being unable to understand her - until court clerk Christiana Kyemenu-Caiquo intervened.

Ms Kyemenu-Caiquo, who also hails from Sierra Leone, told Judge Nicholas Madge that the 38-year-old was not in fact talking English at all, but Krio, an African Creole variant.

In desperation, the judge swore the clerk in to interpret for the witness, with a new clerk replacing her on the bench - about an hour into proceedings.

But the interpreter was barely used as the witness was reduced to repeating the words, 'I can't remember', in response to almost every question.

She was giving evidence against Gilbert Deya, 61, who faces four allegations of rape, one allegation of attempted rape, two allegations of sexual assault and one allegation of battery.

The preacher, who runs Gilbert Deya Ministries - which is said to have a UK membership of 36,000 - originally hails from Kenya.

I think of you throw out all of the false accusations of rape you would discover that rape actually occurs like 3 times a year worldwide.

We knew Justice was blind.
The new Justice is also deaf.
The coming justice is dead.
