Signed: Loving Husband Michael. Dorothy Bundy Hill July 10, 1961 The years continue to slip on by And now have come to another But none of us will ever forget Such a sweet person, our wonderful Mother. Signed: Children: Marcia, Launcelot, Savona, Yolanda Jocelyn E. Aldrich The more judges understand the people they are dealing with, the better off they are. And I'm not talking about being a soft judge, I'm talking about being a tough one.

You can be tough in some areas, and moderate and understanding and compassionate in others. JOURNAL: That leads into my next question. It seems you have two reputations. One is being a very soft judge who talks tough, but is willing to take into consideration the the mitigating circumstances that might have led someone to commit a crime, and then hand out a lenient sentence. On the other hand, you've fashioned yourself as a' tough judge who's not afraid to hand out harsh sentences, and who likes to put a defendant or attorney over a barrel in open court.

You like to reprimand a defendant for whatever he did, or an attorney for making a mistake. Who is right, why do they say these things, and do you see contradictions here? ALDRICH: I don't think there's any contradiction. I've had letters from mothers and fathers of young people, and wives of older people who have said that a good tongue-lashing properly administered in open court is of great benefit. It has a certain amount of theraputic value. I am tough on.

street crimes and, tough on rape crimes. I think I'm tough on murders, those committed in the course of a robbery or burglary of a grocery store, for instance, I might be less harsh on a murder committed during a domestic quarrel where a husband and wife may have their mutual differences. And I think I'm a tough judge when it comes to a burglary-when a kid goes in, or anyone goes in and ruins a household.

Donations may be made to the American Cancer Society, I think I'm easier on the crimes of -not that I approve of itand I'm easier on drug crimes than I am on violent crimes. And I'm easier on the crimes committed as'a result of alcoholic involvement because I don't think those types of people truly understand what's going on. But I'm a great believer in reprimanding a defendant. That probably goes back to my acting experience which started out at Taft prep school. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.

was in dramatics at Union College and I played many parts in the Vassar theater before I got acting gives you a certain amount of confidence and projection. In those days, they (at Vassar) used to have an amphitheater, and when I played the part of Bottom In "A Mid -Summer Night's Dream," I was the only one who could reach the top of that hill with my voice. JOURNAL: From the point of view of an reamed out defendants and you've reamed out attorneys. Lawyers have said you're unpredictable. They'll come in one day and you'll be cordial and easy to get along with, and other days they'll come in and all they get is grief and rebuke from you.

Why is this? I don't think that's correct. It's a misconception. I'm hard on young attorneys, the young assistant D.A.'s, the young public defenders. When I do so, I'm trying to educate them, rightly or wrongly. I'm not hard on the experienced older attorneys, though.

But the young fellows, they might need a little encouragement, a little guidance so they can recognize what their problems are. JOURNAL: But sometimes that guidance comes in the form of a harsh reprimand. ALDRICH: No, I don't think I've ever. reprimanded them. I might have caustically suggested that they take a different approach next father, he didn't pat them on the wrist.

I'm sure when he got through with them, they were better lawyers than when they started I practiced law for 17 years before I became judge, and I got knocked around by other judges. JOURNAL: I remember one recent murder trial in which a prosecutor failed to raise the same objection to a defense attorney's questioning three times or so, and you got down on that attorney. You said, 'Why don't you object to And when it happened again, you shouted at him, 'Why don't you object to And when it happened a third time, you lashed out at him again. Don't you think that might have a negative elfect on the jury, that it might influence their decision-making? ALDRICH: Not at all, I think the average jury is very conscientious. By the time I get through with my charge, I tell them I'm not for or against either party, that we are all human think, in the final analysis, they forget about it and think, well, the judge is human.

JOURNAL: Getting back to the tongue-lashings you give many deremember one time, the daughter of a state trooper had been convicted of a burglary. She had a history of psychiatric problems. In open court, you told her you knew she had tried to commit suicide once, and you predicted she'd try someday to do it again. She was in tears. Don't you think you went too far that time? ALDRICH: I know the one you're talking about.

No. I have a file on all the complimentary letters sent to me by defendants, by parents, by victims-all telling me I did the right thing. That file is voluminous. I have another file with complaints, and that file is infinitesimally small compared to the other or I am one of the few judges, by the way, whose number is in the phone book. You can call me day or night.

Everyone knows where I live. JOURNAL: Didn't you have some trouble after an article appeared in the newspaper which reported a sentencing in which you told a burglar, 'If you want to break into my house, come in at three in the morning. I've got a gun, a knife and a big dog and I'll take care of you'? ALDRICH: We did, but we cleared it I've had a lot of compliments about that. I meant it very sincerely. It anyone breaks into my house, break in at night.

I'll be there. My killer dog (rolls eyes), and my gun and my knife will be ready. And an I have no fear whatsoever. I could take on JOURNAL: In your 10 years as CountyCourt judge, have you ever regretted giving a guy a break? ALDRICH: Never. I've had them cross me a couple of times.

And the second time around, I do give them severe sentence. JOURNAL: Have you ever regretted, or had second thoughts about throwing the book at someone? ALDRICH: Never. Once the sentence is done, I go home and forget it and I go on to the next case. I learned that in Family Court. Once you make up your mind as a judge, you've got to forget it.

Otherwise, you go completely nuts. JOURNAL: Do you ever worry that sending someone to state prison is going to turn him into a more hardened criminal than he was when he went in? ALDRICH: I'm very concerned about that, and it's one of the things I always think about- except for the hardened criminal, the fellow who's 35. He could care less, you know. The fellow who commits murder, holds up a gas station, kills the young him out and shoots him, executes have no quarrel with that, no thought at all. I am concerned about the younger fellows, 17, 18, 19, 20...

It's a known fact that homosexuality is very prevalent in the criminal justice system. It's a natural thing, because what you're doing is confining young men in the prime of their sexual JOURNAL: Is that sometimes consideration, when sentencing young defendant? ALDRICH: No question about JOURNAL: What about the consideration, apart from homosexual assaults, that you're putting a young person in prison with people who are really hardened criminals who can teach him the tools of the trade? ALDRICH: Yes, what they don't know when they go in, they know when they come JOURNAL: I remember the day when you first publicly talked about your "war on street crime," you sent two young first-time offenders away to state prison. Wasn't that too harsh in light of what you just said? ALDRICH: I decided to do it because I had two individuals coming from out two major cities, both of whom had attacked people on the streets. It was common knowledge that people are afraid to walk on the these things were going on in Beacon, so I just decided, 1 don't know, maybe the Lord moved me on that one, told me now's the time to crack down. JOURNAL: Also, on this "war on street crime," do you intend for the imprisonment of first-time offenders to be a consistent policy? Or does each case differ? ALDRICH: Each case differs in some degree, but a crime out on the street--they can expect the same treatment.

They may get away with it in New York City or Chicago, but they can't get away with it JOURNAL: How do you react to the criticism directed toward you by many people, in particular the Dutchess County Court Monitors, that you're simply late for court too often. There are a lot of attorneys who wait outside for an hour or two, waiting for the court calendar to be called, and it's an inconvenience on them and other people who have jobs to do. ALDRICH: Well, I think that's a figment of the monitors' imagination. There's an awful lot that takes place in this room in here, rather than out there. There's a lot of judges who go out there and they sit on their duffs and they call the calendar and then they adjourn, and then they knock off at maybe three or four in the afternoon with nothing being done.

I'm here 'til five or later. I may not start on time, because I've got lawyers in here and people in here and I'm trying to resolve cases. I can't go out there on my proverbial, you operate differently than they do. I will say this, I will stack against them the number of cases I've maybe the lawyer who is out there complaining is the one who is greedy and one who wants to make some money on another case. Maybe he shouldn't have a case of this nature in this court.

Maybe he's not adapted for it. Maybe they should send somebody else. HEARING AID OFFER EXPIRES JULY 31, 1979 HEARING TEST 1. Regular Price $420.00 NOW ONLY $29500 2.
