A crime victim's view

Dear Editor:

v:So .Mr. Justice Kenneth
Mackenzie let Richard Warner off
with a two years suspended sentence,
did he! (Court Decision Angers
Victims — March 10 North Shore
News).

As'a North Shore businessman
who has been robbed of all his com-
puters three times in -the last 18
months, 1 would like to trade places
with Justice Mackenzie for one day.

‘ While 1 would be..considering
Something more appropriate for

Richard Warmer regarding his crime
say, the. maximum possible sen-
ence ‘under’ the law. —° Justice
ackenzie’s ‘day would. unfold
omewhat differently.
, It would begin with a call at 4:30

; to: come down to the office

ecauise it had been burgled again.

After surveying the damage and

Iking to the police, he would have
Spproximately two: hours to wait
ntil the RCMP fingerprint specialist :
ame on duty at 7 a.m.
In‘the meantime, he, could sweep .

p- broken’. glass,’ pickup assorted :.:

omputer, peripherals lying scattered ,
hnd broken about the floor i in the bur-

Around 9 a.m, he would nervous-
ly try to estimate what, precisely, had
been taken — not only computer
hardware, but the wide array of client
files that may or may not have been
backed up the previous evening.

By noon, Justice Mackenzie
would have. completed calling our
faithful, account-paying clients,
informing them that their projects
would be between six weeks and two
months late, while he waited for
replacement computers to arrive.

. Next, he would deal with a hostile
insurance adjuster, one bent on cut-
ting as mean a deal as possible,
regarding losses after this third bur-
glary.

Finally, Ite would talk to his
insurance underwriter who would
inform him that his policy would not
triple, as he had feared, but quadru-
ple.

Al day’s end, Justice Mackenzie
would drive home, make a fire, pour
a drink and ‘sit back wishing that he
had relocated to the United States

‘where, thankfully, judges are elected
‘and, therefore, subject to some form ’

of accountability.
