CRABTREE et al, Petitioners, v. PAULUS, Respondent.

PER CURIAM

Ballot title certified as modified.

PER CURIAM

This petition concerns the same ballot title as we examined in Wells v. Paulus, 296 Or. 338, 675 P.2d 482 (1984). Petitioner contends that the original ballot title was insufficient and unfair because it does not state the true purpose of the measure, to diminish individual rights in favor of the prosecution in criminal cases. As we pointed out in Wells v. Paulus, the measure proposes changes beyond those affecting the prosecution of criminal defendants. It is important that the ballot title convey the breadth of these proposed changes. We agree with petitioner that the proposed changes are "numerous."

Ballot title certified as modified in Wells v. Paulus, supra.
