The illegal immigrant who was drunk driving when he hit and dragged a Milford man to his death has been ruled incompetent to stand trial.
Judge Janet Kinton-Walker says Nicolas Guaman's "unique cultural background" and language barrier means that he doesn't understand the court process. The court also said that he lacks the ability to consult with his attorney properly.
The judge ordered Guaman's attorney to find an interpreter and educate him on the court process.
In August 2011, 23-year-old Matthew Denice was hit and dragged to death while riding his motorcycle.
FOX 25 spoke to Maureen Maloney, Matthew's mother, on the phone during the FOX 25 Morning News about the ruling. Maloney said she believes this is a stall tactic by the defense, but hopes it clears the way for trial.
"My first reaction yesterday was devastation," Maloney said. "I just can't believe that he was found mentally incompetent based on his education level and unique language. However, after being able to think about it overnight, I'm hoping that this will close whatever loopholes that the defense has to try to appeal or get a retrial if we ever get to a trial."
Judge Kinton-Walker was appointed in 2009 by Gov. Deval Patrick.

Yet another miscarriage of justice. This will end up exploding into a backlash at some point.
“Judge Janet Kinton-Walker says Nicolas Guaman’s “unique cultural background” and language barrier means that he doesn’t understand the court process.”
The get his a$$ out of the country!!!
End of America begins....3...2...1.
After killing someone?
Patrick is an abomination.
‘In the past, he’s had other run-ins with the law. He’s been in court multiple times on other charges prior to all this in August 2011 and a Spanish interpreter or no interpreter was used for those hearings and he’s always managed just fine.”
Well, based on “unique cultural backgrounds” and language barriers, all of the Muslim jihadists should be set free, as well.
The illegal immigrant who was drunk driving when he hit and dragged a Milford man to his death has been ruled incompetent to stand trial.
His voter registration card probably identified him as a Democratic [sic] party supporter, so the fix is in.
his language and culture makes it okay to kill people??
The get his a$$ out of the country!!

That would be discrimination AND cruel and unusual. /sarc
If we had DECENT border security the ideal thing would be to deport ALL of these illegals.
The time they spend in jail ON OUR DIME is hardly punishment to anyone but US, plus we then get to take care of his family also.
If he and his family are here ILLEGALLY, deport them all.
I realize ‘humanitarianism’ sets us apart from the hell holes some of these people come from but if the fact they are not THERE should be (almost) enough for them to behave while here.
Why don’t people go to certain countries with ANY amount of drugs? Mainly because if the drugs are found on you, the country doesn’t waste it resources on trying you or incarcerating you, they just make it so YOU do not come back to their country and break their laws again.
Check out Singapore, Mylasia, Iran, Dubai for starters.
Maybe a ‘group home’ should be opened in the Judges neighborhood.
Of course she is (probably) able to bear arms and I can quite imagine what her reaction to You and I having the same privilege.
before I give a shi’ite I need to know if the Milford man was a registered Democrat.....
If someone isn’t capable of knowing right from wrong, understanding cause and effect, and grasping the fundamental ideas of how our society works, then they have no business being here.
This is wonderful! Let’s import another 12 million! For our brothers from south of the border, DUI is just a cultural thing.
Marxachusetts.
End of story.
We really need to support this guy. For support we need to plant a railroad tie on it’s end so that it extends 7’ out of the ground and then attach this man to it so he has firm sport.
Ready, aim, fire. No more support needed.
It’s too bad the drunk illegals weren’t running over the scumbag politicians who refuse to enforce our laws. At least they would be doing the country a favor.
