-- deaf case goes through jury selection
DeafDigest has mentioned from time to time that
a deaf driver and his family were trapped in
their car in middle of a "Zombie Walk"
parade last year in San Deigo. Some of
the parade participants jumped on the
car and banged on the windows. Scared,
the deaf driver sped away and hit a
hearing bystander. This case, vehicular
felony, is going to trial this week,
hence the jury selection.
-- deaf cannot legally consent
A newspaper in Orange County, CA ran a story
about a paramedic, explaining how he
tries to move patients to urgent care
centers instead of the hospital
emergency rooms. He was said to have made
a comment - that is shocking - that
the deaf couldn't legally consent
(as to where he would be taken to).
Did the paramedic actually say it
or did the reporter make it up?
