As far as I'm concerned, I'm in favaur of the death pen- alty, and here's why:. 1) If a jury ýof 12 men and a judge coavict a ian of murder- ing another person, for whidh the penalty is death, then what night lias Parliamnent to nullify that de- cision.

Mr. Grenier was a passea- gen in a car diven by Allient -{urffle, 24, Blaînville, Quebec.

This man should neyer have been set free. But did the shooting of another policeman shock Panlianient en- ougli ta malce refornma on the bail act? N it did not. Taken from the Toronto Star General Warren, Allmand said in Ottawa tliat Maitland's slayiag was a horrible thing but lias not clianged lis conviction that hang- ings cannat deter potential kill- ers. What does it take to get action? Do we have to wait until a "Mass" killer comes aloag and shoots 20 policemen? That's the whole story, wait unrtil it's too late. 31 Tlçrcsliould lie no argu- ment about dfeternent. There is none.
