CLEVELAND, Tenn. — It has taken 10 years, but Spanish-language interpreter Mark Weissenberg says he has completed his odyssey for justice with a $15,000 settlement from Bradley County.
In litigation dating back to 2010, Weissenberg alleged that Bradley County General Sessions Court owed him thousands of dollars for unpaid interpreter services dating back to 2005.
It was a quest that ultimately cost him his wife of 36 years and left him homeless, said Weissenberg.
“Knowing all this, I would do it all again,” he said. “Watching them sweat while the system worked: priceless.”
County Attorney Crystal Freiberg had no comment on the matter except to confirm that the settlement was paid to Weissenberg.
