"Charges Dropped for Florida Teen Migrant Accused in Deputy's Death"

Charges against an illegal migrant from Guatemala, Virgilio Aguilar Mendez, in the manslaughter of a Florida police deputy were dismissed due to concerns about his inability to comprehend English and cultural background. Defense attorney Jose Baez criticized the sheriff's office for creating a false narrative and claimed that his client, who primarily spoke Mam, a Guatemalan language, was unable to understand the officers' instructions due to a language barrier. The scuffle, which led to the deputy's death, was recorded by bodycams, and the attorney alleges that the migrant's confusion and inability to understand English are evident in the video.
