MP expects Truscott decision will be made this week By Matt Shurrie Goderich Signal -Star Editor Huron -Bruce MP Paul Steckle is confident a decision regarding the fate of former Clinton resident Steven Truscott will be announced this week. Steckle made the comments amidst intense media speculation that an announcement from Justice Minister Irwin Colter could come as soon as tomorrow (Oct. 28). "I think it's fair to say the minister is committed to making an announcement this week," Steckle said on Monday from his office in Ottawa. "I know he's committed to that - he's assured me of that." While he remained confident a decision was forthcoming, Steckle said nothing had been scheduled at the moment. However, that could change within 12-24 When Accldents Happen...

"It's a miscarriage of justice to a degree that we haven't seen in the history of this country. It certainly has to happen - it's long overdue," Steckle said. "Again we find ourselves waiting with bated breath and we're hoping the right kind of announcement will be made." Truscott, now 59, was 14 when he was condemned to hang for the strangling death of his 12 -year-old schoolmate Lynne Harper. He faced two execution dates before his yentence was commuted to life in prison. During his 10 years in prison, Truscott appealed all the way to the Supreme Court. He was eventually paroled in 1969. After his release, Truscott married and had three children but lived anonymously for years. He finally stepped forward in 2000 to begin a campaign to clear his name. Truscott and James Lockyer, one of the lawyers representing Truscott through the Association in Defence of the Wrongly Convicted, made a rare public appearance together last Friday speaking on a panel at a conference on the wrongfully convicted before a group of Windsor law students. Lockyer told the conference that he hopes Cotler will order a new trial. "Only then will Steven have the chance to rid himself - we hope - of demons that must have lived with him for now 45 years and three weeks," Lockyer said. Now a grandfather living in Guelph, Truscott has always maintained he is an innocent man who was convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence. After reviewing an 18- month inquiry into Truscott's conviction, Cotler can either send the case back to a court of appeal or order a new trial. Declaring a new trial would effectively overturn the prior conviction. Steckle hinted that he would be unhappy with any announcement that falls short of granting a new trial. "I have been very vocal with the minister and done everything within my power (to get a positive decision)," Steckle said. "I've probably even crossed the line at times. "I wish the outcome to be the right one - it had better be the right one." Steven and . Marlene Truscott have repeatedly said they are not speaking to the media until the minister's decision is announced.
