HITCH-HIKER STABS FARM HAND IN RAGE OVER ADVANCES THE PROPOSED CRIMINAL COURT REFORMS A The proposed reforms in criminacourt procedure which were endorsed last week by the state organisation of county and district attorney of Texaa constitute a sound and sensible program for making the administration of justice more -effective and less cumbersome The changes recommended are PasMge of a error" or anti-technicality law which would limit the cause on which tha court of criminal appeals may reverse eases To permit the prosecutor and the jury to discuss the failure of defendant to testify' In hla own be-' half Making It optional' with the judge as to whether persons Jointly Indicted shall have separate trials Permitting tha wife of a defendant to ba cross-examined on all points of the cbm Requiring affidavits of belief of Insanity after conviction to be by two reputable physicians before a hearing In ordered The enactment of any of these changes would be step forward The enactment of all of them would effcc a healthful change In criminal procedure If we might choose one of the1 recommendations rs being most desirable our choice would be a law permitting discussion by attorneys and jurors of a defendant's failure to testify for himself Innocent men do not need do not ask the tremendous ad- vantage which the present rule gives to defendants Thf failure of a defendant to testify is a circ*mstance that weiglu with every juror even though he is not permitted to discuss it and is presumed to perform the mental gymnastics necesnary to prevent hia even thinking about it In many cases the defendant ia kept off the witness stand in the hope that some juror will forget or ignore the rule and thus make reversal sure Common sense demands that the rule be changed It ia encouraging to note that the member of the organization unanimously approved the recommendations It ia encouraging also to note that the new presiding officer Senator Witt approves the program lie can help
