Zacarias Moussaoui is the only person in the U.S. charged as the 20th hijacker in connection with 9/11. “A Chronicle of Evil” is what U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft called Moussaoui’s indictment. But today, the once slam dunk case is being questioned.

According to recently published research from the University of Western Sydney, Interpreting and Translation Research Group, the accuracy of court interpreters can make or break criminal cases presented to juries.
