Feels secure

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘Callousness,’ Oct. 12.

I feel very secure knowing that Canada’s courts are populated with judges like Justice Stanley who hear cases impartially, who apply the country’s legal code, who balance the rights of individuals with the needs of maintaining a secure and civil society, etc., when deciding their sentences.

But I would not feel secure if we populated our courts with justices the likes of which Brett Davis desires: those who would be influenced by their emotions and apply their personal sentiments and biases when deciding the sentence of a guilty verdict.

I have yet to find “wilfully hiding guilt” in the Criminal Code of Canada.
