Panelists answer students questions If bank teller is threatened that the life of her child or bus band will be endangered unless she complies with the request of robber would the teller be excused of the crime of giving banks money to the crook The question was one of many posed by Central Collegiate Grade 12 law students to panel of live local legal officials last week The answer came from Pro vincial Court Judge Anjo who noted that it was unlikely that charge would be laid in the first place but if it was technically speaking shes done it The court would doubtless take into consideration that the teller was acting under duress and would likely grant her discharge under those circum stances he said Judge Anjo Crown Attorney Murphy lawyers George Taylor and Bruce and staff sgt Hillman

client that he cannot add anything greatly to his case by going into the witness box he added MISTAKE IN SPELLING One student wanted to know whether spelling mistake or error in stating licence number
