Cancer Tea Wednesday —cetdintied itein Page 1 Pat, at a point in time some minutes before the .actaial acci- dent opeurred, Regier was the ° driver of a car which stopped at some friends—no they weren't— mo,; soPPed in a farm lane, as II remembers or at a h0115e. They • weren't friends, but he canie ui . on the land of the owner, and 1 there Was some gonversation. He ivas noticeably, at that time. . underthe influence of liquor 1 hut, according to the evidenCe ; Of the female witness, he was not as Much tinder the •Infinence ;as Zimmer was, and it wouid appear possibly that the one most under the influence of ji- ciuor was the .deceased, who was ;in the car. Now the car ;drove 1 off, and was driven off by Re- gier. "Now at that time, as far as I am concerned, the car cer- tainly was driven by Regier, who Iwas under the influence of li- quor to such an extent that he could just at that point have I been convicted of bnpaired drv- ing. Later on the car over mg land passed another car. The esti.- (knee was given by Elaine„ ' (that she had seen Zimmer stick his head out of the passenger side of the car.) "Later, in a very short, space of time, the Merner car stopped . , in at a house, as I recall it, in :the northern end of Zurien and the :Regier car Went up the same street; and apparently turned around up there, because it. was next seen coining down towards the point where it went off the road and hit. a tree, with the result that the passenger, Kende. ! was apparently tossed out and killed. "In a statement some time later, Zimmer said. that he thought he was the driver of the car at the time. that it bit the tree and the passenger fell out and was killed "There is no cl.ear evidence so ; far adduced before the court that Zimmer actually 'was theg driver nor, may 1 point oing is ; there any clear evidence before! the' court that Regier was the I driver at that time. 1 am refer- ring to the •time it hit the tree. "Zimmer was in no position after the accident when he was in the house: to 'give a coherent account of What took place im- mediately preceding the acci- dent, both from the amount of drink which he had and shock of 'the accident. There appears to have been no statement made by Regier, or at least none has been produced to the court, re- lating to; the accident or the events 'immediately preceding the 'd , t Therc has been no evidence that I recall presented to the court as to the condition, alcoholically speaking, of Re- gier from the time he left the visit with thepeople in on their premises to the time of the ac- cident, "There is a lapse, I have for- gotten exactly how long it was— a fair amount of time—between that and the time of the acci- dent. If I :recall rightly, some- where in the neighbourhood of forty-five minutes . ." Mr. Hayes: 'From leaving the Riley house?" Magistrate Holmes: "Yes." Mr. Hays: Hardly that—a little vague—fair 'time anyway." Magistrate Holmes "Some lit- tle lapse anyway. If counsel do not object; I will say anywhere from 20 minutes to three -quar- t :s of an hour.Id 't exactly know, maybe 30 minutes. It wasn't an extraordinary length of time, but thete was a certain la. of tnne. There wasn't jnueh evidence, if any, to show what they did during that period of time, except for the view that, Mr; Elaine Measlier had of him, ; which was very shortly before the actual accident and. death of passenger,the . "Now it may be. thought that any accident in which person is killed there -would automati- cally be a manslaughter or some siinilar charge.,, Might 1•point out „dhat, as far as an accident is concerned, and a death aris- ing out of an accident, the death itthitf is more or Iess an accidents and is not the primary matter Or the subject; matter in dis- 'pine which would give rise to a charg, because first of all it is necessary that it be established that the death resulted in gross negligence on thegpart of some person, and A manslaughter charge 'might be laid, or a crirn. inai charge might be laid. "If, however, it cannot he shdwn that there is such gross negligence as to warrant the more serious charges, the fact that a depth oc.curred does not change the .situation4because the death is only soinething aris- ing out of what took Place prior to the actual death. There must he that degree of negligence on the part of some person, result- ing in the death, or from 'which the death arises, before a charge Of criniinal negligence or man- slaughter tan be Mtecessfully proven and A tonviction ob. , ame "Foe instance, it may well he that a ear is online down the road And the driver's attention is distracted in the summer time by a bee getting into his car., and he slaps At the bee, and ninmentarily fergets what he is tieing And the car goes oft into the Other lane, and an accident occurs _in whieh A person is killed.

He has given alt these matters consideration and, as I say, it . . rem • .0 s that a conviction could have been Ob- tained, and I am speaking of my opinion, not of the •Crown Attor- ney's opinion—T haven't discussed the matter with him at all—stnd remember another thing. I was Crown Attorney myself for .eighteen years—I think he. was quite justified in not preceeding further with the criminal negli- gence charge. • 'T h e criminal negligence charge could only have been heard bY a Supremo Court jury. The cost to the province and. county, especially the county, of an abortive Supreme. Court jury runs into a large sum of money and, if. it is felt; from the evi- dence that is in the possession. of the prosecution • that it is a sheer waste of :tune and manes' to proceed with this matter, why Ishould the taxpayers be put to that expense if there is no reas- onable prospect of any conviction being obtained? That is the way I look at it. "On the other hand. • these young 'boys were all out together. They were all involved in. the same antics. They all drank. It may have had inore effect on one than the other, or lesser ef- fect, • or one of the others may have drunk more. It makes TI.0 difference. They were all to- gether in this affair. Not one of them was persuaded by a shot- gun or force to take part in the ride, They all took part in it. They had drink. They all knew what sometimes these rides lead to—drink and driving cars. They assumed that; risk them- selves. "It is not no the same basis as though these people. in. the car, and drinking to excess, ran off the road and hit an innocent bystander and killed him—not in my ,opinion at all. "People who participate in a drink driving affair like this, cannot think that; one or the other is greater or lesser to blame—they are the same. If one gets injured. more. seriously than .the others that was the chane he took. "I think many jurymen when discussing cases along these lines take that into consideration too, because, if you cast your mind back, there are very :few convictions by juries of Man- slaughter or criminal negligence against the driver of the car whose passenger has been in the same affair with • the driver all through the course of the eve- ning, and whatever time it is. They are in the same boat. Now then, having given you this little talk I go to the question of the evidence. , "As I said a moment ago, at the time they weretalking to the Riley's, in my Opinion, 'at that point Regier was the driver d •c Lid have been col(rit;hilep. aired. driving, and 1 do not ted right at that moment know of any evidence before me at any later date to show that Regier acquired any more quor or got't • Odors than he. WAS when at the Riley's, That being so, I cannot cemeo . cone usion that i ,Re- gier .s guilty of drunk driving. as charged, but Certainly he, is guilty Of inquired driving, and he will be so found, "Now with regard to the - penalty. How -old, are you? Regier: "le."
