Palmer tions but said in his experience the drugs which llissa had taken could have caused so he told police he kncw nothing about it It wasnt until he began realizing that Mrs Ah Ontario supreme CON smltklhg marijuana and specifically admit stabbing her Mr Palmer also pointed to distorted view of realityand he Balkwill could testify against jury aSked MFJUSUCGA GOOd drinking alCOhOI lh in that he

testimony read back to them the six men and six women retired again and two hours late about 1115 pm retumed verdict of not guilty of attempted murder but guilty of assault causing bodily harm Hissa will be sentenced April Hissa was charged with the Sept 15 stabbing of Mrs Balk will who had testified earlier in the trial Hissa had come to her house the evening of Sept 14 and apparently without reason began to choke her She said she passed out on bed and when she woke she had stab wounds in her chest near her heart Hissas recollection of the He said he could remember being in the apartment then being naked in bed with someone both had testified they had been sexpartners then washing his face and han ds in the bathroom He said he was dressed to leave His next recollection is of seeing his han ds around someones throat then seeing his hand with knife in it stabbing at someone He did not remember who it was or why he was doing it but had assumed it to be Mrs Balkwill RIIAI BACK His recollection of the events was the testimomy read back to the jury when it asked its question Justice Goodman told the jury afterwards that it now was that of sitting on top of someone with his hands around that persons throat and he remembers seeing his hand going up and down three times He gave statement to police saying he choked her and stabbed her but says in the wit ness box that he simply assumed that it was her he stabbed after hearing what the policesaid In his submissions to the jury defence lawyer Gary lalmcr had stressed the inconsistency of Mrs Balkwills testimony Her testimony had disagreed often with that of llissa and Carl Bruster who said he had introduced llissa to Mrs Balk will place around midnight but that she had not come to until about 530 am Dr William Mac Donald who tcstificd for the Crown said that in his opinion it would be impossible for wmeonc to remain unconscious for that long just as the result of being choked He also felt that stabbing would tend to rouse person from unconsciousness Mr Palmer also mentioned testimony by Dr John At chcson of the Clark Institute in Toronto Dr Atcheson psychiatrist had said that in his opinion llissa had been unable to form the intent necessary for attempted murder because of the amount of drugs he had taken Dr Atchcson had said he could not explain Hissas ac that llissa was spaced out on drugs but that he had planned the murder and was caught only because it failed Ask yourselves what would have happened if Mr BalkWill had died he told the jury There was not one piece of evidence in that apartment to link Hissa to the crime There were no fingerprints there was no knife there was nothing suggest to you that Hissa knew full well what he was doing and he did it because of rejection by Mrs Balkwill the night before After the attack he assumed her to be dead and got rid of the knife he had used His first statement to the police substantiates that There was nothing to link him to the scene the drugs other than the marijuana also put to you that Mrs Balkwill was here testifying through no fault of her own and she had had her sex life brought out into the open While not justifying it it could be reason for giving misleading evidence about the number of times she slept with llissa and when Mr Justice Goodman ad dressed the jury for two and half hours explaining the law regarding attempting murder He pointed out the intent necessary for attempted muri der but said there was really not intent necessary for the of fence of assault causing bodily harm with 84 in the rcsults of the first

the government doesnt have very strong argument for mass immunization SURPRISED AT ORDER Meanwhile health authorities in other countries said Thursday their nations are free of the swine flu virus

vaccines but that it was too early to make any deci sion on mass vaccination The tests will take at least six weeks they said In Ottawa Canadian Health Minister Marc Lalonde told re porters his department is studying the possibility of vac cinations and indicated that the government will probably decide whether to follow the US lead next week He said it would take time to carry out mass
