GOSHEN � City of Newburgh detectives should have used an interpreter when they interviewed a 13-year-old accused killer, and that mistake will cost prosecutors statements from the boy and the knife police recovered, a judge ruled Thursday.

Detectives interviewed the 13-year-old twice after the killing, eventually arresting him. The boy's mother was present both times in keeping with Family Court law. She doesn't speak English so Detective Rolando Zapata, who is bilingual, read her the Miranda rights in Spanish. Detective John Zagarella then interviewed the boy, who speaks English, in English. The boy had his Miranda rights read to him in English.

NO! His mother's been here long enough to learn ENGLISH! If she REFUSES to learn then she should be sent back to where ever it is she came from. She's got a 13-year old child (knifer) so she's been here more than long enough to learn English! Blaming this on the police is just disgusting insanity. I'm not surprised though. This is pretty much what was expected from our "Law Enforecement" around here. Bunch of brain dead hicks. The whole bunch of them. Meanwhile, if Zapata was there to read the Miranda rights, I'll be he's got a lot more than something to do with this atrocity! It'll come out in the wash!
