Another Felony DWI Trial Going On In Decatur

This one seems pretty routine. Two prior misdemeanor DWI convictions. Eligible for probation from the jury if convicted.
But there is a hitch: The defendant doesn't speak English. So what we have is an interpreter (guy in tan) speaking in Spanish into a cup looking contraption that the defendant can hear via an earpiece.
Eight man, four woman jury. All white.
Bob Estrada out of Wichita Falls is the defense lawyer.
