NO THANK YOU To the editor: Mr. Helmut Somogyi (Criminals in Canada Get Off Easy, June 29 Capital News) stated that he would like to see some of the crime statistics from the country whose system recently sentenced a young Aussie lady to 20 years hard time, despite her evidence and pleas that the marijuana in question was planted in her luggage. If Mr Somogyi is as fortunate as that poor young lady, someone will use him and his checked luggage as an unwitting mule too-then he can see the stats and live them as she now is.
