Description

August 31 Toronto The Crown withdrew found-in charges against three Richmond Street Health Emporium customers arrested during the February 5 bath raids. Crown Prosecutor Mary Hall asked that the charges be withdrawn. She argued that the alleged keepers had not yet been tried, and it would be seen as unfair if the found-ins were convicted while the keepers could potentially be acquitted. This was seen as a ploy to protect the evidence against the keepers until they came to trial. (See also November 23–27, 1981.)
