Defense attorneys alleged police incompetency during closing arguments for an evidentiary hearing Wednesday for Angelo Colon-Ortiz, the man charged in the 2016 killing of Vanessa Marcotte.
Defense lawyers for Angelo Colon-Ortiz, accused of the 2016 killing of Vanessa Marcotte, challenged the competency and communication skills of police officers who collected his DNA sample.
In absence of a proficient translator, police relied on an incomprehensible consent form to convey rights and information when collecting the DNA of Angelo Colon-Ortiz, argued defense attorneys.
