Ioreed to go through the agora of yet another hearing._ It is infuriating
to look au the. cdst of such a hearing. added to the cost of keeping •
i -Bernardo in pnson for the rest.of his life.
I.havc heard the comment. "Lead is -cheaper." 1t is not right, hut 1 -
can't say 1 disagree,' '
Yct.our entire legal system is based on the concept that there is one
sci Of laws for everyone. he he htggar or king. -The moment we'start
- making ci(ceptions. the entire system ceases to have meaning. A person
is entitled 10 legal counsel, no matter what his income. There cannot he
exceptions.
• lf'we refuse Bernardo the appeal to which he is apparently entitled.--
we have denied the universality of our legal system. Suddenly. some
people have the right of appeal. and the right 10 legal aid, while others
do not. Who is entitled' -3 Who decides? What are the criteria''
• The one'catch tot this-argunient is the right to legal counsel: is 6y no:
means universal in Canada. The deciding -tactor at present is financial:.
. Two types of people can afford to hire a lawyer - those with plenty: of '
money, and those with. none (like Bernardo). There arc quite a few -
people in the middle who face the courts without adequate legal .
counsel or who enter guilty pleas to.charges they could successfully •
fight. because hiring a lawyer would exhaust limited financial
resources.
Yes..these people have the choice of.alhat to chi with those-reNources.
But what person in his right mind would pay a couple of Thousand
dollars to,get a settlement of a few' hundred? What persori'wauid '
mortgage his home and exhaust his family's savings. (a huy.the chance
not a guarantee - to get a reduced sentence'! There is a point at.w hich.
hiring a lawyer is simply not feasible. , -
It is somewhat tike saying Paul Bernardo has the.right•to launch an•
appeal, even though the evidence against him is so (/ser`.w•hclrning,.no -
court would ever free him. -
Surely there -comes a poinrat which the- nature:af the crime and
evidence makes hiring a lawyer ($60.000 of taxpayers' money buys a

Or perhaps our legal aid system needs serious•rcvamping so it .
becomes accessible to all al -fact as well as' theory.
For a tasty treat,.
