Judge rejects sentence continued from Page 1 provincial judge Mike Baryluk who presided Over the feb. 12 hearing appeared to have sentenced the accused not for criminal conduct but really for failure to appear or disrespect of the court he said. Judge Baryluk agreed to proceed in the absence of the accused at the request of the Crown. The procedure allowed Only for summary conviction offences is provided for under a Section of the criminal code of Canada. Section 738 of the code says where an accused been issued an appearance notice but fails to appear the court May proceed sex Parte to hear and determine the proceedings in the absence of the defendant As fully and effectually As if the defendant had the Section also says the court May if it thinks fit Issue a warrant. For the arrest of the defendant and adjourn the trial to await court was told Section 738 is often invoked with prosecutions under the Highway traffic act and other Provin Cial statutes but rarely under the criminal code of Canada. Gindin said he never seen anyone jailed in their absence under the Seo Tion. Judge Dureault said Eigler s failure to appear at the hearing stemmed from a misunderstanding of the judicial at the time of trial Eigler 31, was working As a logger in Saskatchewan. Gindin said client was aware of the hearing and had tried to arrange a postponement. He was told it could Likely be adjourned two weeks. When Eigler turned up on the new Date however he discovered he had already been tried and sentenced to two months in jail. He served eight Days before being released on bail pending Appeal.

Judge Dureault said there appeared to be nothing in the Case to justify the kind of urgency the Crown and the trial judge had attached to it. If there had been a need to proceed sex Parte the proper thing would have been to adjourn the hearing after conviction and if necessary to Issue a warrant for arrest so edgier could speak to sentence he said.
