2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, November 22, 1960 ar GOOD EVENING By JACK GEARIN LAW SOCIETY'S AID PLAN NEEDS OVERHAUL Wher. John Altiman was sent to Kingston Peniten~ tiary for three years last Oct. 28 after a guilty plea to robbery, few eyebrows were raised, The case, heard before Magistrate ¥, 8, Ebbs, ap- peared to have been a routine one, with guilt firmly estanlished Despite this, there are some aspects of the Altiman case that are disturbing, that seems to point to grave flaws in our social and judicial set-up, For instance, Altiman (a 20-year-old Indian whose life has been almost one continual with the law since he started out as a juvenile delinquent on the Walpole Island Indian Reserve near Sarnia) was tried here without benefit of legal representation despite the fact that the charge carried a maximum pen- salty of life, No fault can be found with the sentence f any~ thing, it veered strongly on the side of leniency, no doubt because the accused co-operated fully with the Crown, His Worship and Assistant Crown Attorney Bruce Affleck were most fair. Mr, Affleck also carried on a fu~ tile search to some high places ih the hope of obtaining legal aid for the youth, Both the Attorney General's Department at Queen's Park and the legal aid branch of the County of Ontario County Law As ed a deaf ear to his request. The legal aid branch of the OCLA w primarily to assist persons with an income of le $1200 annually who have no more than one previous conviction, but surely there should be this rule. The OCLA representative failed to inter when informed of his record, Altiman pleaded guilty in connection with a holdup and shooting at the CNR station here Sept. 10 during which Percy Thompson, 59, a CNR employee, suffered a gun wound that later necessitated amputation of one log 165 Chippawa brush ociation turn= as organized than some exceptions to Altiman admitted he got part of the $205.38 loot, but denied he had acted as a lookout ("I was just waiting for the robber to come back"). Also he testified that he didn't know the gun was loaded. Because of his co= operation, a second possible charge--that of "wounding with intent to maim"---was likely dropped There is no desire here to shed journalistic tears for Altiman, despite his shoddy background, his lack of a good home atmosphere almost since he was able to walk, He was mighty lucky he didn't end up on the gallows. Is not a high principle of British justice being ignor= ed (in a so-called civilized society) when a 20-year-old Indian is allowed to stand trial on a serious charge with« out a lawyer? The public must accept full responsibility for such # hassle Meanwhile, the indifference of the A-G's Depart ment, and of legal aid branch of the OCLA does little to bring credit to the legal profession, which should keep a far more vigilant eye on our courts, How could the OCLA rotation counsel for Septem- report intelligently on the when he didn't bother to interview the accused? How could he know tha some grave injustice was not being done? It is really necessary for the OCLA to adhere so rigidly to its anti« quated, inflexible rules? Tribute should be paid to those Ontario County law= 5 who have served the needy without pay on numers occasions, This does not alter the fact that the OCLA's legal aid set-up, despite its high purpose, is too restrictive and is badly in need of an overhaul, Too often--under a silly rule that senior members with more than 10 years service are excused from monthly rotation service--~boys are sent out to do a man's job, Some of these practitioners are recent grads from Osgoode Hall, with little or no court room experience, who can offer little more than lip servce In rough~-and-ready court room give-and-take, The Altiman case has helped to establish a dar ous precedent, Everything should be done to see it 1s not repeated again, As an aftermath to the Altiman case Michael Turchin, 22, of Oshawa was sentenced 21 in Oshawa to 10 years for his part in the same CNR station robbery Sept, 10 after he pleaded guilty to rob bery with violence, After the shooting, Turchin took the )5.38 from the cash drawer, Turchin got two years each on another charge of robbery and two charges of breaking and entering, the sentences to run concurrent with the 10-year stretch, T'urchin, like Altiman, had a sordid criminal past dating back to his juvenile delinquency days, He also had one other thing in common with the Indian youth he was not represented by legal counsel at his trial before Magistrate F, S.
