Do you feel that Jessica Lall’s case is going to fall victim to the wits of a lawyer’s arguments? Please give me your opinion: (yes/no) by clicking on the link below. Yes – if you think the case is emerging to be a battle of wits and confrontational skills of a lawyer. No - if you think the defense lawyer is doing his job judiciously in order to arrive at the truth of the case. http://www.indiademocracy.com/issue/user/issue.jsp?issueid=iss20061111160833 While many of us were looking at Jessica Lall’s case setting a new trend and faith in the judicial system; the recent arguments made by Mr.Jethmalani have narrowed the hope. What the future holds for this case, time would tell – will it be lost to maneuver and manipulation once again or eventually result in providing justice!!!

Nothing justifies what he did. Is fear of being killed a reason for which we need to stop being rude? (not that we should be rude in any situation) I do think that the tape even though is now out, will get Jessica justice. We don’t know the situation under which Jessica spoke the way she did.

Manu Sharma might say he was forced to confess becuase the police used torture methods to interrogate him.

As for murder...well nothing could ever justify it. Atleast in most cases.

Acknowledged as widely pervasive truth. :) Police wala he is, and he will do it. But strangely, page3 ppl are supposed to be the elite, supposedly intellectual, supposedly better behaved, but definitely many of them are not. "Its kinda scary to see that in today’s world even a slight refusal doesnot go down with many and they resort to most horrible acts." Yeah, does not justify murder.

Maybe she was not rude but stern which aggravated Manu's egostic nature. Its kinda scary to see that in today's world even a slight refusal doesnot go down with many and they resort to most horrible acts. I mean there have been many cases where young men have splashed Acid on girl's who refused their marriage or sexual intentions.

Just an observation, going by what I have seen on TV (not the page 3 movie), and personal observation at pubs. No, I am not saying that rich ppl have that tendency, I am talking about page 3 types.

On another note - Moral of the story - Try as much as possible - to not be rude. I am not downplaying the seriousness of the situation, but I wonder what was the need for Jessical Lall to talk like that, to anyone? I dunno if Manu started the "being rude" thing.
