THE ('01'RTS
Let's leave the school busi
ness for a while and talk a lit
tle about the Courts.
There was a front page story
in the daily press this week
about a Judge up in Detroit re
leasing murder suspects on the
flimsy ground that they had not
been advised of their right to
call attorneys before being giv
en a test to determine whether
they had fired a gun.
This is a flagrant abuse of
power and hopefully the Michi
gan Bar will look into the mat
ter One need not go to Detroit,
however, tn find evidence of
coddling of criminals.
A former law officer said to
me recently, ' When will these
Judges KVKR learn that you
just can't be good to hardened
< rimmals*’ The criminals have
learned that they can get by
with almost anything as long as
they are willing to pay a few
dollars and make periodie re
port' to a probation officer
JiM look at the list of <en-
foners handed down in any term
o' criminal court in this state.
