MANCHESTER — A judge has ended efforts to reinstate a domestic-violence prosecution against Augustin Bahati, the Congolese refugee deemed culturally incompetent to stand trial earlier this year.
Circuit Court Judge Kimberly Chabot said she wouldn’t grant city prosecutors a do-over of the case and dismissed the misdemeanor charges against Bahati, 33: four counts of domestic violence and one of sexual assault.
The city’s top prosecutor on Tuesday ruled out an appeal.
“All I can say is we made a decision not to appeal,” said acting City Solicitor Emily Rice.
The Bahati case came to light in late June, when New Hampshire Attorney General Gordon MacDonald raised issues with prosecutions of domestic violence cases in Manchester. MacDonald’s inquiry led to the abrupt retirements of the top two lawyers in the City Solicitor’s Office and attorney general oversight of some office operations.
Earlier this year Bahati avoided trial after the assistant city solicitor in charge of the domestic violence unit — Andrea Muller — accepted a psychologist’s findings that he lacked the cultural competency to participate in the American justice system.

I think he lacks the cultural competency to breath oxygen. It should be removed from him.
I would say, tough sh*t. Try him anyway. He may learn to be “culturally competent” in jail.*
*At least with jailhouse culture, anyhow.

Maybe this man didn’t stand a chance in the U.S. Lock him up, then after he serves his sentence, send him back.
They’re walking around with their “refugees welcome” banner.
Send him back to the Congo
What an ever-lovin load of BS
Culturally Incompetent - Cultural Appropriation
I can’t keep up.
The Marxist have got everything so tied up in knots there is no sanity.
The city’s top prosecutor on Tuesday ruled out an appeal.
“All I can say is we made a decision not to appeal,” said acting City Solicitor Emily Rice.
I couldn't help but notice that both decisions were made by females. How does that happen?
Culturally incompetent. That could get any immigrant or refugee off of any charge, any charge at all. Sounds like a blank check to me.
