No decision on street racing appeal
Local
The Ontario Court of Appeal has reserved its decision on the Crown's appeal of a
ruling that overturned a conviction under Ontario's stunt driving law. The three-
judge panel gave no indication when it would issue a decision. The Crown
appealed after Justice Geoffrey Griffin of the Ontario Court of Justice in Napanee
overturned 62-year-old Jane Raham of Oakville's guilty verdict last September.

Feds vow to get tough on youth crime
Canada
The federal government wants tougher rules to deal with violent or repeat young of-
fenders, including adult sentences and stricter bail conditions. Justice Minister Rob
Nicholson will introduce amendments to the Youth Criminal Justice Act when Par-

system. Violent or repeat offenders sometimes end up with sentences
much shorter than people expect, he said. THE CANADIAN PRESS
