Th? Peoples Temple tragedy ii Guyana and the growing con troversy surrounding other so called cults has placed attorneyi representing such groups at the center of a swelling storm. How much do lawyers whc represent cults know about theii clients'? Should they report illega activities? Is it ethical to withholc knowledge of illegalities when i client-cult commits them? "It's hard to say what tht Peoples Temple lawyers knew 01 didn't know" about the death ritua that took the lives of more than 90( cult members, said law professoi John Noonan, who teaches ethicf at the University of California ai Rprlrolon But, adds Noonan, many of these lawyers "don't know anything because they close their eyes." THE LAWYERS must operaU under the same ethical standard! that affect many lawyers whei their client's needs conflict wit! society's ? a problem inherent in s basic principle of American law: that everyone is entitled to legal representation. But, attorneys for cults seem tc I 1 " m: cmoroiiea in controversy more than most lawyers. Former Temple members have leveled several accusations at the Tem pie's three lawyers ? Tim Stoen, Charles Garry and Mark Lane ? and all three have been subpoenaed by various grand juries in San Francisco. The former Temple members say: ? stoen acted in alleged conflict of interest while serving as both Temple attorney and San Francisco deputy district attorney in 1976. Ex-members say he used his position to harass them. Stoen has been unavailable to comment on the charges. ? Garry, who strongly denies any wrongdoing, allegedly advised the cult to obtain firearms and allowed cult members to hide some of the guns in a trunk in the basement of his law offices. Garrv maintains he was misled by cult members. ? Lane knew about the murdersuicide drill and the imminent murder-suicide ritual, but never warned anyone.
