Staverton man's case adjourned due to lack of
interpreter
A man who left a drinker needing surgery on a
fractured eye socket in a barroom assault has had his sentence adjourned
because an interpreter failed to turn up at court.
Marciej Stadnik, , of School Lane, Staverton, was
due to learn his fate at Swindon Crown Court after admitting carrying out the
assault at Lloyds Bar in Swindon last year.
But the 27-year-old does not speak good enough for
him to understand proceedings without it being translated into Polish.
On Tuesday Recorder Michael Selfe adjourned the
case so an interpreter can appear, and released the defendant on bail.
Stadnik pleaded guilty to a charge of grievous
bodily harm on Sunday, November 18.
