Harper. - T• a government , QQder• review. of Truscott's conVictlOn by a Goderich jury -also poses same„ legal.problems for the• court, ' • ,' For •the first time it . must consider `a body.. -„of -evidence not placed before .a jury anddecide whether a jury _would' convict or acquit An any, new facts brought to light.., As a third alternative, the court could advise .a new " trial. , Mr. Justice J.R. Ga.rtwright, who saidhe had come to -MO - conclusion on the matter, -said the problem is whether the Sup- reme Court is to consider what effect the evidence has on the nine justices themselves, orwhat effect. it would have on. a jury. 1 In an, ordinary appeal, the court would consider only evidence Wf = given at the original trial. Last October the court set aside •tts rules to hear evidence. from 26 witnesses in the Trus- cott case. Since last Wednesday, Crown and defence lawyers sub- mitted final arguments, based ' bothon the evidence- given at the trial „and_on- the cabinet- ordered review. Included in the; n edence is sworn testimony -given for the• first time by Truscott. `He denied committing the murder. Final arguments revolved about an application • for parole filed by Truscott in August,1964. In a .hand-written statement, accompanying the application, Truscott asked "please grant me one chance to prove that one dreadful mistake does not meanl will make another." Crown lawyer William Bow• ma,ri.wsaid .;the statement,'proper- ly .construed, .i, was an admiss- ion he (Truscott) corninitted the - act." - "It is perfectly clear Truscott ,intended the parole board to con:- strue the application as an,..ad- ion+of-guilt," he said. - If it wasn't an admission, "it was another indication Truscott , would say anything to suit his immediate, .purpose;". • •deelared 'Mr. Bowman. Earlier in his agruments, Mr. Bowman- contended Truscott's evidence before the Supreme Court wasn't believable. He a said Truscott ' lied• atbeut his move- rr'lents the night of the murder. Defence lawyer Arthur Martin said Truscott's parole applic- ation must be, considered at the ' same,, time as a letter attached to it to- the parole board. The letter, written bya prison • official, said Truscott "still a _sentence in the feeling nothing can be done about it." '"It is perfectly clear" Trus. cott wasn't making an admission. ,, Last October Truscott said he wrote the application with ' the - feeling that the parole board was convinced of his guilt and that, _ _ his application wbuld be• in jeo• - pardy if he corktinned to -argue he was innocent. Mr. Bowman also said Trus- cott's - rus.cott's-- story about seeing a car stop en a .highway leading but of Clinton to pick up Lynne Har- per was a fabrication. Truscott told police he was able to spot yellow licence plates on the car from about 1,500 feet away. Mr. Bowman said a police off- icer took Truscott to the spot and wasn't able to make out. colors of licence plates. And he added visual tests taken ' by private • detectives on behalf of the de- fence were not realistic. -e--said -ea s -were plated scr they could be seen by the de- ~• .•�tavesst�•t tlas3�»�.wet�ld� : :: • in that position ordinarily: -- Mr. _.�Justice ._WV/art Spence _. said it wasn'tsurrirising the , police officer with Truscott, couldn't rna.ke• out _ the plates..
