Thé Càrnidan Châffnpbi' PrNtaN<,A I'21 1999" 7 O QUR READERS WMiTÈ What was hold- up in probing confession? Dear ditor: Let me see if I have this right. Keith Madeley is in jail, convicted in March st year of murdering Milton's Fred Sheppard. According to The Champion, a story was written by the Toronto Star that on August 25, 1998, another criminal, Roy Hopkins, confessed to this crime with detail in writing. That's August, 1998. Thisis March, 1999. What bas been done so far (seven months later), as Halton's Crown attor- ney Brian O'Mara puIs it, to "have any new information Jhrugh învestigated?" Jutwhen was the Crown planning to start'the investiga- tion of this seven-month-old, new information? The case already involved two mistrials. Two police offi- cers were disciplined for mis- 1:conduct in the investigation and a murder suspect was assaulted. The fact that these "bizarre" conditions exist in addition to Use confession doesn't deter the Crown from making the com- ment that, "We are confident that it (the original case) can withstand scrutiny." Ta that so? How can Usat st comment bie made at aIl, confi- dently or not? I can't imagine what more would be required for Use Crown to be not so con- fident. If it's new information and it stili bas to be investigat- ed, how can anyone be confi- dent of any outcome? The comment precludes any new outcome - such as the possibility of an innocent man being imprisoned for the past seven montha. Doesn't any new information open the case again and any comment on il should be at lest "no comment," or an "I don't know" comment in order to appear to be impartial? Scary.
