police Hope video camera caught muggers face by Doug Nairne police reporter investigators search ing for the Cor Earea mugger have discovered yet another victim and a piece of evidence they Hope will help crack the the latest victim to come for Ward is a Man who says he was assaulted by the mugger in a main Street hotel on March the Man said he was attacked from beaten into unconsciousness and awoke to find his Wallet the break for police May be that a video surveillance camera got a picture of the there was a Monitor on that captured some of what went and that May give us a said Tom but there is a question about the Quality of the Legge said the Man who was attacked did not report the incident to police until he became aware of the publicity surrounding the Core area mugger and made the link to what had happened to Roy Smith said the tape from the surveillance camera has been sent to the University of Manitoba to see if it can be but police Are not getting their Hopes sometimes we get Good results with enhancing the video but this time it May be too Grainy and the Quality too poor to be of the Man has now been linked to 17 attacks mainly against older men in the downtown area since the latest reported attack occurred but police believe the suspect is still in the looking for More there is also concern that there Are More victims like the one who just recently surfaced who have not reported being police Are still hoping the composite sketch released tuesday will help them solve the which has dogged investigators for on several occasions As Many As two dozen officers have swept through the downtown searching hotels and restau rants for the Only to come up empty about 200 Calls came in to investigators the first Day the sketch was and hundreds More came in Smith said police Are continuing to get Good information about pos sible Many of whom have lengthy criminal records for Simi Lar when you look at the Mug shots and compare them to the compos it is pretty close for some of he Manitoba sentence Caps High court rules a University of Manitoba criminal Law expert agreed with a supreme court of Canada ruling yesterday that a Cap on the length of sentences issued by courts in British Columbia and Manitoba is misguided and should be tossed courts in both jurisdictions will not sentence offenders convicted of crimes other than murder to More than 20 that because the most they would have to serve is seven years before becoming Eli Gible for even if their sentences add up to More than 30 or 40 but the supreme court ruled yesterday that judges should not be forced to take parole eligibility into account in such Lee Stuesser of the University of Manitoba said the High court find ing is quite consistent with sentencing principles that should weigh Only the specifics of a not the future ramifications of parole in yesterdays chief jus Tice Antonio lamer wrote it would seriously Pervert both the very purpose and function of the statute to suggest that the peculiarities of the parole eligibility ought to Structure of sentences under the criminal Scott a former Crown attorney and now a spokesman for victims said the ruling was a Why on Earth would the courts think that parole application should determine what judges do the court was ruling on a horrific Case involving a Man who pleaded guilty to brutally sexually and physically abusing his court heard that he raped his old est daughters and on occasion held them Down while they were raped by the identified in court documents As had no previous criminal but the trial judge imposed a 25year the Appeal court used the Cap to reduce that to 18 years and eight the supreme court said that allowing parole regulations to determine sentence length was like allowing the Tail to wag the without the accused deserves a severe sentence which expresses society revulsion at his lamer but Winnipeg lawyer Jeff president of the trial lawyers association of said capping sentences does not appear to be a problem in Manitoba i have trouble understanding what the supreme court justices Are getting at and i would have to read their finding in full to under stand the Issue Gindin if the justices Are concerned that a judge should not take parole considerations into account when sen then that always the Way its been Here in Gindin i dont think parole considerations have Ever been a
