today that hanging is cruel and unusual punishment which violates the Canadian Bill of Rights As MPs cast crucial second reading votes on bill before the Commons to ab01ish the death penalty lawyers for two convicted murderers were to make the civil rights argument before the nine high court judges The case involves John Har vey Miller 30 and Vincent John Cockriell 20 sentenced to be hanged for the gunshot kill ing of an RCMP officer in Sur rey BC more than two years ago Miller and Cockriell are among 11 men under sentence of death in prisons across the country for the murder of po licemen or prison guards Their lawyers argued unsuc cessfully before the British Co lumbia Court of Appeal that the death penalty runs counter to the Bill of Rights The court re jected the argument but one of the five appeal judges dis sented saying the two were properly convicted but that the death penalty is cruel and un usual He said sections of the Crimi nal Code of Canada allowing the death penalty for the mur der of policemen and prism guards must be Considered in valid IN US T00 Similar civil rights argumen ts are going on before the US Supreme Court where five test cases could decide whether the death penalty is rested there The last state execution was in 1962 in Canada and 1967 in the US The US court is being asked by opponents of the death pen alty both to rule that it is cruel and unusual and thus prohibited under the eighth amendment to the constitution and to strike down death penalty laws in 35 states Supporters Of the death pen alty want the US court to rule that the states eliminated arbi trary provisions in old capital punishment laws and to over rule the 1972 Supreme Court de cision which struck down the death penalty as then applied In the domestic case Miller and Cockriell were convicted of shooting Constable Robert Pierlet when he approached their car and demanded to see Millers drivers licence Evidence at the trial was that the two men deliberately set out to kill policeman because Miller felt police were respon sible for his brothers death CONDITIONING Buy the name you know and trust GENERAL ELECTRIC DYKSIRA BROS ELECTRIC LTD 38 Ellen AGAIN 9o GBAND
