Ken- nedy was assassinated, and Leo Oswald apprehended, many law enforcement officers and other members of the judiciary con- demned the world press for 'finding Oswald guilty without a trial'. For the most part, this con- demnation was justified. If the assassination had taken place in Canada. where freedom of the press is more limited than in the U.S., this "kangaroo court" would very likely not have come to be. 1 The basic premise of Cana- dian law, and British law, and supposedly, American law, is that a man is. "innocent until proven guilty'. this did not hold true. But judg- ments were much more re- served in November, 1963, than they used to be.
