In Idbs decision, Justice Lune sald the fraiîty of the victim and the accused's alcohol problem were contributing factors ln the case, telling Saunders that "you should nover drink again." Ho noted the probability ofbim coming before the courts ugain "is. not that great," but added that bis sentence- had ta show* "some denunclation" of the crime. In bis sentencing arguments, 'OBrien noted there was no evidence of prior abuse in the relationship and said an examination showed the victim had little evidenoe of trauma. A lack of hemorraglng that was nedla more consistent wlth sudden death than strangulation, ho suggested, noting "thero was a complote absence of dofensive wounds." After Saundors made "one isolated grlp" on the. vlctim's throat ,ho walloed away, thon wont back to bod, fel aisloop and didn't notioe Fulton was dead until the mornlng, OBrien mid. It's "inconcoivable" ho would have ucted as ho did if ho knew she had dled, ho added.

DEBBLIE MORGAN RADIATION MONITOR NUCLEAR*GENERATING STATIONS IN DURHAM REGION Fourth quarter 1995 (October 1 to December 31) This information i5 pro vided by the Atomic Energy Contrai Board, Canada 's nuclear regulatar. Radiation dose due to emissions from the nucllear generating stations. Dose is reported in microsieverts (pSy), an international unit used ta measure dose. DARLINGTON Proposed legal limnit October 1 ta, December 31, 1995:' 0.9 for dose from emis- - previa.us quarter: 1.0 1000 per year - TOTAL FOR THE VEAR: 5.4 Dose from a single chest X-ray: about -,70 PICKERING Praposed legal limnit - October 1 ta December 31, 1995: 3.1 far dose from emnis- - previous quarter: 3.5 1000 per year- TOTAL FOR THE'YEAR: 12.9 Dose from a single chest X-ray: about 70 Note: Natural background radiation, the annual le gai limit for station emissions, and the dose fram a typkal X-ray are pravided for reference. Emissians are in addition ta background radiation. The radiation doses due to emissions are for the most exposed persons living nearthe station. They would typical- ly apply to persons living just outside the station boundary who are at their residences 24 hours a day, who drink local water and milk, and eat local fish and produce. The doses were calculated using actual data rom routine analysis of air, water, milk, fish and vegetation sam'ples, as well as sta- tion emission data. Most persons would actually receive less than the doses indicated because they have different eating habits or live farther away from the station. Radiation doses decrease sig- nificantly as the distance Irom the station increase.s. Persons living midway between the two stations- would therefore receive less than the doses indicated for either of the stations. Less than 3% of the radiation dose received-[rom the stations was du e-to liquid emissions, while the remainder- was a resuit of airborne emissions.
