Audrey R. Linton, Appellant v. the State of Texas

Summary

The Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas held that the trial court’s provision of three interpreters, including a table interpreter, was constitutionally sufficient to satisfy due‑process requirements for a deaf defendant, and therefore reversed the Court of Appeals’ new‑trial order. The Court affirmed the trial judge’s discretion and remanded for further proceedings. Justice Johnson filed a concurring opinion offering additional guidance on interpreter certification and assessment.
