The men, one of whom is deaf and mute, were using sign language. They were just at the bar to celebrate a birthday. When Lee, 45, confronted the men, they motioned for her to go away. She left the bar but returned with 19-year-old Marco Ibanez, who is accused of pulling out a knife and stabbing the men. Lee and Ibanez remain behind bars, where they'll be learning a whole new language of legal terms.
