Attorneys cite language barriers in hit-and-run

A judge should throw out the statements of a woman who killed a 3-year-old boy in a grisly hit-and-run last year because her rights to silence and an attorney were not accurately translated first, attorneys said Monday.

Lazara Arellano de Hogue, 40, admitted to slamming her pickup truck into 55-year-old Marjorie Thomas and a baby stroller holding her grandson Elijah Cozart along Goucher Boulevard on Dec. 1. De Hogue also told police she didn?t realize Elijah and the carriage were trapped beneath her car for nearly one mile as she sped to her Towson-area apartment.
