Last year, the Utah Court of Appeals reversed the jury conviction of Norm Cook, 59, formerly of 633 S. 600 West, Payson, who was found guilty at his April 1993 trial of two first degree charges of sodomy on a minor. Cook was ordered to serve five years to life in prison at his May 1993 sentencing, but after 16 months of prison time, the Utah Court of Appeals reversed the conviction based on the state's use of hearsay evidence during the trial. At the trial, three children testified, including the victim, a boy who was 4 years (Mat the time. The boy tohi bc exxet ifcat a man he called "Grandpa" had touched him while the two were visiting. The victim said he fold bis parents what had happened because he had a feeling that the act was "bad," A child friend of the victim testified she asked the boy if Cook had made him pull down his pasts, and he admitted it.

He ordered the defendant to pay $925 in fines and fees and agreed to close the case once the payment is complete. Utah Deputy County Attorney Jim Tay lor explained the principle A motivation behind the reduction df the charge and credit for prison time served is that the victim has received substantial therapy and has moved on with his life. As for the victim, Taylor said it would be too painful to reopen the case. He noted that Cook has sold his home and moved from the A neighborhood.

Prove, Utah, - Page Laws are replacing good commoFf sense We have too many laws. Twenty years ago I used to handle every kind of case that came in the door. Now there are so many technicalities connected with practically every area of the Law that it is becoming difficult, almost impossible, to be a gencralist. ' la fix. c4d days one could know a Itak bit about a lot; now it is hard enough to know a lot about a link bit. It's harder to live in the worki, too. It seems that our government's philosophy is, if there is a problem, just throw a law si it! 1 For example, in California there is a law that says if a retailer sells a secondhand piece of upholstered furniture, he must first take it to a licensed bug-sprcompany and have it sprayed and tagged. The state spends millions of dollars licensing and inspecting bug sprayers; then policing dealers and antique stores to be tare they are complying. Bug inspectors are used-furnitu- re ay used-furnitu- everywhere. ' My parents were antique-collecto- re rs. When they bought an antique couch or upholstered chair, my father would turn it upside down, pull the cloth out so he could see inside, and look for bugs. If he didn't see any, we'd take the article inside the house and use it. If he saw bugs, he'd spray. There was a risk. If he happened to miss a bug, somebody might get a bug bite. We all knew mat was the risk of buying antique furniture. It wasn't a big deal. It certainly ' wasn't worth having our " ' government spend millions of dollars to protect us from the remote possibility that we might ' . get a bug Site. ! ; Do you know the FDA boxes cereal sure be to inspects they arc full enough? It turns out that some cereal-make- rs - weren't filling some of their boxes high enough, and somebody-iCongress decided consumers might be ripped off. So, the federal government came to our rescue! In the okl days it would have been handled differently. If I, as a consumer, opened my box of corn flakes and found it was full, I might be only two-thirit If happened repeatedly upset. I might be very upset. Then I could either write the company and complain, or switch brands. Maybe our government should assume that we aren't idiots and thai we can protect ourselves'against some wrongs. Recently, Smith Barney ds . Investment Bank was sued under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) because it didn't prov ide monthly statements in type large enough for clients to sighi-impair- ed read them. They settled out of court by agreeing to provide statements in brailk or to read them over the phone. Law firms or any other companies prov iding documents are under the same requirements. The question is, does this kind of problem really require government policing? Or should people simply switch to another lawyer or investment banker if a firm is so insensitive as to ignore their special needs? Or, (as cruel as this may sound), should a person just have someone in his or her family with good eyesight read the aatrment out loud eac h rnortth? It is impossible to protect every single person against every single wrong that might occur in their lives. And it is very expensive to try. Every time the gov ernment passes a law making it illegal to have bugs in used furniture, then it has to create a bug agency and hire bug inspectors. It's no wonder our national budget is out of control. Amazingly enough, the free market, if left uncontrolled, can take care of a lot of ills. Maybe it's time to get government out of our lives and return to the old maxim, let the buyer beware. Whatever happened to good, family reliance? A lot of politicians are panicking that if we eliminate aid to children of unwed mothers, they'll starve. The fact is, in the old days they didn't starve. Parents took their unwed children in and made sure they had room and board. If parents were unable to do it, grandparents, or aunts or uncles helped. It wasn't a perfect system, and sometimes women who used such poor judgment that they had children without S husband to help support them suffered for their mistake. But it did encourage kids to nc4 have children out of w edlock, and there was family pressure to get people off the family dole and become independent. Throwing a law at every problem. isn't4vvorkir.g. Maybe, " just maybe, we need to get the government rjuf of our lives. MayBe wefcan afford to live 1 in a world if legislating a perfect world is going to mean continued deficit spending and require a lawyer for every 300 people just to steer them through the resulting jungle pf government regulation. t Charles Abbott is a Provo attorney.
