Judgment Reserved in Truscott Case TORONTO -The Ontario Court of Appeal last Thursday reserved judgment in the Steven Truscott case to ,00neider four points rata - ed by defence counsel who ques- tioned the validity of the bay's murder conviction. The 14 -year-old boy was con- victed last "September of the rape- slaying of Lynne Harper, 12. The girl's 'body was found three months earlier -in a wooded :lot less than a 'mile from where she lived with her parents at the Clinton ROAF base. The mann issue raised by de- fence lawyer John O'Driscoll at the three-day appeal was that the trial evidence did not support the jury's verdict. No one testified to seeing Steven enter the woods with Lynne Harper, the lawyer told the appeal court, and there was no evidence of blood being found on the clothes he was known to have been \Gearing. 'Tatting the sum total of all the evidence," Mr. O'Driscoll said, "it is'equally consistent with the innocence of the boy as with his guilt." He contended that the boy was convicted on ,eircuonstan- tial evidence. The Judge's explanation to the jury or the law involved in the boy's account to playmates was attacked at the appeal. Steven had told his playmates that 11e had given Lynne Harper a ride on his bicycle past the woods to No, S Highway where she got into a car with yellow li- cence plate. The judge told the jury it must acquit the boy if it believed ,his story. In order to convict, the jury was instructed, it must complete- ly reject his story. Mr. Justice LeBel observed that the jury shoud have been told :that it could reject the boy's story and still acquit him of .murder. If the evidence raised a reasonable doubt as to his ,guilt, Mr. O'Dris- coil argued, Steven should have been acquitted. In addition, the lawyer con- tended that the Crown tried to establish at the trial that the boy went into the woods with the girl on the unsworn testimony of a young boy. Mr. O'Driscoll claimed the evidence was not corroborated except by a 13 -year-old girl who should not have been sworn. The final main point raised by the defence was that smistrial should have been declared be- cause Crown Counsel Glenn Hays, in his opening address to the jury, remarked about Steven's• statement to police. The statement was disallowed as evidence by the trial judge. Mr. O'Driscoll argued that the jurymen might have thought the statement was a confession and assume that the boy had admitted his guilt to police. William C, Bowman, director of public prosecutions, replied at the appeal that there was no substan- tial wrong or miscarriage of just- ole done by :the Crown's reference be said as transportation improved school enrollment increased. To the select and respected few at High School was added a nmlti- tude. Thus began a downward skid in standards. BY the increase in enrollment, he said, the department justified costs of new district high schools and transportation by school bus. It encouraged .more and more en- rollment by dropping high school entrance examination ("to pre- vent wholesale slaughter in grade nine") and again by grants to and served as church warden for school boards according to enroll - several years. meat.

"While there were a few cries of protest along the way at sliding standards, it took a Russian scien- tific achievement to create pub. lie demand for a change. "A change in education is showing today - it will be a long hard pull against a lot of opposition." Opposing the change, according to Mr. Plumsteel, is "the theory that everyone is entitled to an ed- ucation whether capable of gett- ing it or willing to earn it." He said every high school in Huron county has an addition planned. "If we were to remove those pupils incapable of being educated, or without the intention of earning an education, We wouldn't need those additions. If we raise the standards, many of those pupils will not be in school." Every high school in the coun- ty ;las many pupils who would profit more from a technical ed- ueation - yetthere :is no such technical school in Huron. Mr. Plumsteel deplored the fact that so .many pupils have .failed in high school because they have lacked proper attitudes and work lfabits. He suggested that it was up to parents and teaohers to work together to convince pupils that education is a privilege. .
