Lack of Latvian interpreter delays sentence of Grimsby man

The sentence of a van driver who caused the death of a woman in a crash was adjourned today (Thursday) because there was no Latvian interpreter for the defendant. […]

Stepins of Crownland Avenue, Grimsby, was due to be sentenced on 31 October but a hearing at Lincoln Crown Court was told a Lithuanian interpreter had been booked for defendant by mistake and no Latvian interpreter was available. […]

Judge Simon Hirst promised to investigate the error with the interpreter and agreed to remand Stepins into custody. […]
