Smith wrongly charged

TORONTO (CP) — Cathy Evelyn. Smith cannot be
extradited to California to face a charge af second-degree
murder in the death of comedian John Belushi because she
has been charged with the wrong offence, says defence
laywer Brian Greenspan.

Greenspan and Crown Attorney Ari Coomaraswamy
clashed Tuesday during an extradition hearing over whether
the charge, one of 14 against Smith, 37, makes her eligible to

mprder because the law does not consider death following
the administration of drugs to be murder unless there is an

intention to kill, Greenspan said.

INJECTS DRUGS

Earlier Tuesday, Coomaraswamy said evidence shows

that March 5, 1982, Smith injected heroin-cocaine “speed.
balls” into Belushi as many as 24 times during the 30 hours

Fair taxation would boost rural economics, as well as
directly ing working Canadi says NDP
incumbent Lyle Kristiansen.

“Thousands of well-off people pay no tax at all on
their incomes of $50,000 and in many cases more than
$100,000 per year,” Kristiansen said in a prepared state-
ment

“Liberal and Conservative-introduced tax shelters
for the rich and for large corporations rather than small
business and other ordinary Canadians have transferred
huge amounts of money into wealthy neighborhoods of
large cities.

“A minimum income tax of 20 per cent for those
earning over $50,000 would make everyone pay their fair
share, easing the burden on more modest income-earners.
As for small business, they have paid more, while large
corporations have paid less tax, and that trend must be
reversed,” Kristiansen said.

Kristiansen, running for his second term, echoed
recent statements made nationally by NDP Leader, Ed
Broadbent in saying that fair taxation is not a radical
idea
“Even under Ronald Reagan, wealthy Americans
pay a ‘minimum tax’ on all income in excess of $30,000 if
they write off that first $30,000 with tax breaks,” he said.
“And don't expect any Conservative governnfent to
change this unfair system,” Kristiansen warned in the
statement. “Their recent criticisms were over the admin-
istration of income tax, not attacking the even larger
problem of who pays what.
“Conservatives and Liberals are smug when they
talk of redueing the deficit, but they never face the fact
that their corporate and wealthy _give-sways exceed our
annual dofick. And we haven't even received the
ploy they claim we are
buying pry the tax breaks.”
Kristiansen said the system's unfairness hurts small
business operators, who account for the largest portion of
new jobs created in Canada.
“In effect, federal have been
those who effectively ereate jobs and new enterprise, and

have rewarded the large corporations where our job base
has weakened.”

In 1977, Kristiansen said, large corporations paid a
tax rate of 18.2 per cent while small businesses paid 22.6
per cent. By 1961, this gap had widened with large cor
porations paying only 14.3 per cent while small busi.
nesses paid 22.3 per cent.

“This penalizes an entire sector of the economy,”
Kristiansen said, “but it also hits rural Canada in favor of
urban Canada, and neither of the other major parties
proposes to do anything about it.

“They paint themselves as the friends of small
business, but it is large, centralised, Toronto and
Montreal-headquartered business that they protect at
the expense of modest operations.”

Kristiansen said that one small example of mistaken
priorities is the $190 million annual cost to taxpayers of
corporations collecting the Incremental Oil Revenue Tax
rebate.

Instead of this, the government should collect that
tax and-trade it for eliminating the fuels sales tax, which
wottid inainly save money for fishérmenand farmers, he
said.

“This is a prime example of corporate tax breaks that
create few jobs, where we coulil udp the money well to
stabilize Canada's rural economy and broaden our rural
economic base,” Kristiansen said. “There are many such
examples.”

On the matter of personal income taxes, Kristiansen
detailed in the prepared statement how the rate of tax-
ation has declined in recent yeats for those in very high
ineome brackets.

Those earning between $100,000 and $175,000 per
year, for example, are being taxed 34 per cent compared
to 89 per cent previously, while those earning more than
$200,000 have seen their tax rate drop from 43 per cent
to 84 per cent, or 21 per cent less, he said.

“All we demand is fair treatment for all,” Kristiansen

said. “Right now working people and even many pen-
sioners pay a premium on their tax to support those tax
shelters for the wealthy. Only New Democrats say that
the wealthy should pay their fair share.

body was never recovered

He said Smith could possibly have been charged in
Canada with manslaughter — unintentional killing — but
murder is out of the question.

It would be almost impossible to prove she intended to
kill Belushi or that she knew the bodily harm she was
causing him would lead to death, said the defence lawyer

“The crime charged by the requesting state could not
conceivably be the crime she would be charged with in
Canada,” Greenspan said.

In California, murder includes any death which results
from a felony, such as administering drugs, he said

But in Canada, Smith's actions cannot be considered

A list of crimes, including both murder and man
slaughter, is included in the extradition treaty, the Crown
attorney said

Coomaraswamy urged county court Judge Steven
Borins not to compare the charges.

“Your duty is solely to determine whether her acts or
conduct amount to an extradictable crime in Canada that is
listed in the treaty concerned,” he said

“It matters very little whether the crime is murder or
manslaughter in Canada. The fact that what we call man
slaughter might be called murder in the United States is of
no consequence.”
