A 1 2 She Vancourcr Sun THE COURTS Rookies fold of justice 'breakdown7 Drug trial set to open Fourteen persons accused of conspiring to traffic in heroin and cocaine will appear Monday in B.C. Supreme Court for the opening of a trial that is expected to last a year. The accused are alleged to have conspired to traffic in narcotics in Vancouver and Toronto Charged are Peter Senatore, John Stewart Sanita, MatteoCastag-naro, Stefano Pella, Claudio Dimatteo, Enzo Fimognairi, Giovanni Gaglairdi, Filippo Op-pedisano, Arnando Ton-tarelli, Carmelo Gallo, Margaret Dumas and rm4' 'I1 if By MARTHA ROBINSON Why, in the B.C. justice system, are violent men given parole only to commit more violent crimes? Why are there so many cases waiting to be heard? Why are sentences apparently so inconsistent? These and other judicial questions were raised Friday by B.C.'s assistant deputy minister of police services, Robin Bourne, at a recognition ceremony for newly-inducted police at the Justice Institute of B.C. Bourne didn't attempt to answer the questions himself.

Instead he told the newcomers to the force they should try and find out the answers themselves. "At the moment the system is overloaded," Bourne told the new officers and some 200 members of their families. "It (the system) is not flowing well, and you as new members of the system should try and find out why." Bourne also called on the police and the public to find out why police service budgets are being strained to the limits to pay for police wit nesses in court many of whom are never called upon to testify. He also asked why the defence bar is not held accountable for the public funds wasted by what he termed "lawyers' tricks." "For example," he said, "I am informed there is a standard practice of certain defence attorneys to advise their clients to plead 'not guilty' until they are sure all the Crown witnesses have appeared for the trial. "If all the witnesses appear, the plea is suddenly changed to "The witnesses are not required, but the expenses of bringing them to court have already been incurred." Bourne also raised the question of why those accused persons who do not show up for trial are not pursued with vigilance by certain courts.

"Why are there so many remands?" he asked. "There are other questions which strike at the heart of the common law traditions and which may be considered improper, but one cannot help but wonder why the criminal justice system does not hold the judiciary accountable for bad judgments when they occur," Bourne "At the moment it is essentially reactive," he said. "If crime statistics are high, we ask for more police, more prosecutors, more judges, more institutions, stiffer penalties and longer sentences. "But reaction of this kind has become far too expensive for our means, particularly since there is insufficient evidence that crime is being dealt with effectively. "Taxpayers will not pay more the tolerable tax limit has been reached.

"In my view, we really have to go back in history and look for a better way to make our system work. "If, as a police community, we can agree that the criminal law is a rather ineffectual way of preventing crime and should be our last resort; if we can agree that western civilization made a strategic error about 300 years ago when it adopted the deterrent model as a way of coping with crime instead of persevering with prevention, then perhaps we are on the right path towards a solution to the current criminal justice dilemma." 1 1 Pasquale Longo, Vanda Meszaros and Domino Mobilio. fc, ROBIN BOURNE "justice system overloaded" said.

8th Avenue at Granville 736-6039 By LARRY STILL Pop singer Tom Jones, although he Isn't expected to appear in person, is -billed to star in a decidedly non-; showbiz production at the Vancouver courthouse. His billing is contained in documents filed in the B.C. Supreme Court by two production companies whose principals are vying for control of televison rights to the Jones boy's golden tonsils. At issue in the suits are distribution rights to the Tom Jones Show, a series I have just been on a buying trip and am expecting many beautiful oriental treasures from abacus to screens and tansu.

ver company would produce each program at the Panorama Studios. Alleging that Catalena is "financially irresponsible to the exent that it is incapable of financing the production of the series," EPI is asking the court to award damages and direct that Catalena hand over duplicate master videotapes of the 12 completed programs. MacLennan responded at his press conference by stating that Catalena became dissatisfied with Rosen's ability to carry out his obligations as distributor, which is why it held on to the master tapes. The Catalena president distributed to reporters copies of the two statements of claim in which Catalena is suing Rosen and EPI Ltd. The first suit alleges that EPI and Rosen "defamed the reputation and credit worthiness" of Catalena by uttering the allegations contained in the Aug.

4 statement of claim. Catalena's statement of claim alleges that Rosen repeated the allegations contained in EPI's suit when he spoke to several radio stations and a newspaper in Vancouver. The second suit filed by Catalena seeks, among other things, an injunction to stop EPI from distributing or marketing any videotapes produced by the West Vancouver company for the Tom Jones Show. MacLennan denied claims by Rosen that the next 12 programs in the Tom Jones series will be produced either at BCTV or at Global Television facilities in Toronto. He said he has been assured by Gordon Mills, manager for Tom Jones, that the shows will be produced by Catalena in West Vancouver commencing Sept.

1. The Catalena president did concede that production of Let's Make a Deal has been put back because sufficient programs already are in the can and the company doesn't wish to incur the costs of producing new shows until they are needed for airing. At a press conference Friday, Catalena president Ian MacLennan assured everyone that all is well at Panorama Studios. MacLennan categorically denied the Los Angeles company's allegations that Catalena has demonstrated "fiscal irresponsibility" and stressed that everyone connected with the Tom Jones Show has been paid. "Catalena is a strong and promising company being victimized by a smear campaign which has taken normal business situations out of context to give the impression it (the company) is not stable or secure," MacLennan said.

As well as stressing the financial viability of his company, MacLennan also announced that Catalena has filed two counter B.C. Supreme Court actions against EPI Ltd. and its president, Burt Rosen. MacLennan was responding to allegations contained in the EPI statement of claim, filed Aug. 4 in B.C.

EPFs Rosen noted in his suit that his company entered into an agreement with Tom Jones Enterprises Ltd. under which EPI would be responsible for creating and producing a series of 24 television programs.
