Observing in court

For a public trial, do I (or any deaf person) have the right to an interpreter if it's not my case? That is, I want to show support for a friend and be at their trial, but I don't know if I'm entitled to interpreting services, especially since I'd probably be just one of several people there to show support.

Edit: Just realized that jurisdiction might be relevant. This is in Massachusetts.
