George Zimmerman may have escaped conviction for shooting Trayvon Martin because an important witness for the prosecution spoke with a strong accent of her ethnic group. I wonder whether courts ought to offer accent interpreters for witnesses whose accents might lead jurors to misunderstand or devalue their testimony, or simply make it a struggle to know what the witness said.
