of

Public
Controversy
Public
controversy
over
the
case
was
stirred
last
year
with
publication
of
The
Trial
of
Ste
ven
Truscott
a
book
by
Toronto
author
Isabel
LeDourdais
that
challenged
much
of
the
evi
dence
and
was
critical
of
the
conduct
of
Truscotts
trial
at
Goderich
Ont
The
cabinet
sent
the
case
to
the
high
court
for
an
opinion
In
a
normal
appeal
the
court
reviews
the
trial
record
and
rules
on
points
of
law
For
this
special
case
It
heard
a
string
of
new
witnesses
In
five
days
of
special
hearings
last
October
Truscott
took
the
stand
for
the
first
time
and
denied
that
he
killed
Lynne
Harper
A
key
point
in
the
Crowns
case
was
that
the
girl
was
strangled
between
715
and
745
pm
June
9

that

was
a
point

were
another
key
point

contended
they
were

The
defence

Noting
that
Truscott
testified
he
had
the
sores
for
about
six
weeks
before
he
was
questioned
by
police
the
majority
opinion
said
We
find
It
Impossible
to

Truscotts
statement
that
he
had
never
described
the
con

of
his
penis
as
it
existed
prior
to
June

to
anyone
before
he

his
counsel

Examined
by
Doctors
Doctors
who
examined
him
three

In

drew
in

noted
It
Is
Incredible
that
no
disclosure
was
made
by
him
to
his
father
and
to
his
then
coun
counsel
�
sel
as
to
the
condition
which
he
says
had
existed
for
six
weeks
before
he
was
picked
up
Truseott
maintained
that
he
had
given
the
Harper
girl
a
ride
on
his
bicycle
June
9
He
said
he
took
her
from
a
side
road
near
the
RCAF
station
to
its
in
tersection
with
a
main
highway
and
dropped
her
there
Riding
away
on
his
bicycle
he
said
he
stopped
on
a
bridge
on
the
side
road
and
from
there
1300
feet
from
the
main

Into
a
1959
model
car
with
yellow
licence
plates
The
defence
called
private
de
tectives
at
the
special
hearing
They
testified
that
from
a
post
tion
on
the
bridge
they
were
able
to
pick
out
licence
plate
colors
on
a
car
parked
where
Tiuscott
said
Lynne
was
picked
up
The
majority
opinion
said
this
evidence
proved
only
that
if
a
car
is
placed
in
this
position
at
a
certain
time
with
the
sun
shin
ing
on
the
licence
plate
an
in
vestlgator
standing
at
the
bridge
and
knowing
wliat
he
was
looking
for
could
identify
colors
but
not
entirely
without
error
Dissenting
Opinion
In
his
dissenting
opinion
Mr
Justice
Hall
said
the
trial
was
not
conducted
according
to
law
Even
the
guiltiest
criminal
must
be
tried
according
to
law
That
does
not
mean
I
consider
Truscott
guilty
or
innocent
The
determination
of
guilt
or
inno
cence
was
a
matter
for
tho
jury
and
for
the
jury
alone
as
its
dominant
function
following
a
trial
He
said
there
were
grave
errors
in
the
trial
The
Crown
had
built
its
case
on
the
theory
that
Truscott
originally
intended
to
take
a
schoolmate
Jocelyne
Godette
to
the
bush
wheie
Lynne
Har
Harper
�
per
was
killed
but
the
Godette
gill
did
not
keep
the
date
and
Truscott
took
advantage
of
a
chance
meeting
with
the
Har
Ier
gii

Mr
Justice
Hall
said
that
in
taking
Miss
Godettes
evidence
at
the
trial
stress
was
placed
on
her
contention
that
Truscott
cautioned
her
