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

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

vent wholesale slaughter in grade
nine") and again by grants to

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. .
