a public defender system is un-
necessary in Delaware. But last
week, in a public statement, he
said that there may be a need for
one soon. / believe the need exists
now and / am happy that my OPP
ponent has at least reached the
point of difference with me only as
to the time when the public defend
er is needed"
Mr.. Bove also referred to the
noted author, Erie Stanley Gard
ner, who has taken an active part
in supporting public defender sys-
TENS in other states, and said that
the recent trend of United States
Supreme Court decisions may make
mandatory the establishment of a
public defender system in many
states.
"Mr. Gardner, in one of his
books" said Mr.. Bove, had docu-
mented numerous cases where in
nocent men were convicted because
of failure of justice.
THE additional expense to the
State OF Delaware would be justi-
fed even If only one innocent man
was prevented from serving a jail
sentence.
