'As a lawyer in his courtroom you always felt comfortable. He heard both sides of the case,' says lawyer Don Orazietti
A retired Ontario Superior Court Justice with a long history of community involvement, Stortini died on Sunday, Dec. 1. “As a lawyer in his courtroom you always felt comfortable. He made everybody feel comfortable," veteran Sault lawyer Don Orazietti told SooToday.
"The Attorney General’s office said legal aid lawyers might not get paid. Judge Stortini looked at the Crown Attorney and said ‘are you getting paid?’ He went around the courtroom and asked everybody if they were getting paid. Stortini grew up on Rome Street where the James Street Mall is located now. He was generous, honourable and selfless.
“As a judge he would sentence non-violent criminals to do community service work so that they would give back to the community instead of rotting in jail,” Mike said.
