Toronto: Lester & Orpen Dennys Limited/ CBC Enterprises Co-publication, 1986. Illustrated card covers. In this the second volume of criminal cases recounted in 'The Scales of Justice' radio series George Jonas has selected ten cases which raise profound questions about the operation of the criminal justice system. Some cases raise basic issues of guilt and innocence; others raise questions concerning fairness of the judicial procedure itself, both in court and during the investigatory stage. Such cases included here are: the murder trial of world famous anthropologist Cyril Belshaw; the hard-fought extradition of Cathy Smith after John Belushi's death; and the infamous case of 14-year-old Stephen Truscott, first sentenced to die, then imprisoned for ten years.
