Probation Was Judge's Idea In Berry Case
District Attorney Arthur D. Hill defends recommending probation after consulting Judge Harris who decided the course. Hill says Berry, an old man who returned voluntarily after escaping abroad, acted from weakness and incapacity rather than wickedness. He notes Harris heard all evidence, and Hill merely concurred after discussion. He concedes potential political attack but argues mercy outweighed possible harm as a precedent. He says voters should judge him or his opponent by their views on mercy versus enforcement.
