volun tarily went back to Huronia It seems to be conflict be tween civil liberties of the indivi dual and the protection soc iety commented Mr Justice Weatherston Whyte fails be tween the two so the legislation doesnt help him Dr Orchard also found that Whyte was homosexually or iented although it seemed he could have as easily been heter osexually oriented Dr Orch ard said the apparent reason for the homosexuality was that he had started off having sexual relations with men and so had not been involved with women Dr Fred Escher of Huronia said he knew Whyte and was aware of his homosexuality but hadnt included it in rny reports on hm When asked why by defence lawyer Richard Clarkc he said he accepted homosexu ality as part of the background of institutional life RECOGNIEI RISK Dr Escher said he recognized certain amount of ri=k in al lowing Whyte ito sncr vd agreed that he had rcsmvntiors about safety because of Whytes tcnicucy towards violcncc lie testified that bezt

is she desperate act similar to the suicides and were done in order to be readmitted to Iilltfillt Dr Orchard replied that the act was unreasonable and had Whyte been sane he would have real ized the consequences would en tail more than Huronia HAS THEORY Dr Peter Rowscll who has examined Whyte three times sin ce Monday testified that ire had theory which explained the kill ings as reasonable nct Why te he said had personality dis order which created need in him to be dependent on other people hence his constant re turn to Huronic The day before the killings Whyte had been enjoying deep attachment to McMaster in which homosexuality was factor but not the most important factor Harold Lyle of Orillia had tes tified earlier that Whyte and Mc Master had had fight that day but differences had been repair ed with McMoster giving Whyte another chance Dr Rowsell suggested though that the fight and rejection had set off smouldering anger in Whyte which needed only some incident to rclcnsc it He figur ed that when Whyte hart vi torl Quinn the evening of the kill inzs and born oyirf ih rifle it acidentally decharged killing Quinn and setting Whyte off on more killing This zinger bur=t
