Page P2, Wednesday, March 29, 1989 by Murray Moore Senior Writer Minister of Justice Doug Lewis left Midlard last Thursday with his ears thoroughly bent about the Young Of- fenders Act. Police Chief Ernie Bates outlined in detail his criticisms of the act. He wants everyone over 16-years-old to be treated as if they were adults. (The cutoff age is now 18.) 1A Midland businessperson who organized a survey of opi- nion about the age limit agreed, saying, "I think that Mr. Lewis has gone too far away from what the people want." Lewis, who is Midland's MP as well as federal justice minister, told Bates, Mayor Ted Symons and other coun- cil members that the Young Offenders Act is "basically" working across the country. Lewis said he is not aware of a push to lower the dividing age from 18 to 16. Sentencing and the transfer of serious charges from young of- fenders court to adult court are the two areas being studied, he said. The provincial attorneys-general are not concerned about the age which separates young offenders and adults, Lewis said. "Don't worry about Doug Lewis moving on things. I can be pretty im- __ It's out of control: Bates patient. But I have to go on facts." Lewis challenged Bates to produce statistics to prove his contention that young offenders are be- ing charged with commit- ting serious crimes more often than adults. The Mafia should pay youths to murder their enemies, Bates said, because the maximum sentence a young of- fender can receive for any crime is three years. "If I get killed by a 16-year-old, I am just as dead as if I was killed by an 18-year-old,' Bates said. "Now it seems that young people will take on whoever they can find," Bates said. Bates also suggested: eJudges should have the leeway to decide the length of a sentence. "'So- meone in the audience can give a three-year ver- dict,"' Bates said. eLawyers who are ap- pointed as judges should go to a college for judges, a judicial equivalent of the Ontario Police Col- lege, before hearing their first case. Bates's ex- perience is that judges "don't know what to do" with young offenders. eProvincial Courts and young offender courts should have separate judges. In Midland Pro- vincial Court the same judge presides over both courts. "One minute he's a young offender judge, the next minute he's an adult judge,"' Bates said. Bates presented Lewis with a three-page survey on which respondents in- dicated the age which should divide youths from adults. The survey was organized 'by a downtown businessperson. In a subsequent inter- view, the businessperson, who gave only her first name, Lynn, said only one person indicated the dividing age should re- main at 18. The majority opinon was that the dividing age should be lower than age 16, she said. Penetang Library. ba >.
