-- People in Pinto, Spain angry over deaf eviction
A deaf couple has been living in their house for
40 years in Pinto, Spain. Suddenly the bank
and the court want the deaf couple evicted.
Poorly educated, the deaf couple was conned by
their son to sign second mortgage papers few
years ago. They nodded in agreement, not
udnerstanding the papers they signed their names
on. They have another son, not involved with the
second mortgage papers, fighting for them and
getting public support from the neighbors. At
this point, no one knows what is going to happen.
