Maria Oh Maria

Kamalji...

Its shocking that the judge gave the verdict with 3years jail for Maria,she is now free as she has served her period already in jail before...this shows that we can kill anybody and if we have already served it in jail before verdict we can be released after the verdict and we may hear the verdict on Kasab also changed ..it may/may not happen.

Loved your writing..

 

Very true. The TV and film industry are really sick, if they want to rope in the likes of this lady for shows like Bigg Boss.

Loved your word play.

 

I wonder why Jerome spared Maria,while Grover was murdered & slashed to 300 or 300 minus parts??

Iam sure Mr Grover would not have come out nude,instantly after a shower!!!

My biggest question in this case is, WHY did the judge not view this as a rarest of rare case? Yes, there have been cases of culpable homicide not amounting to murder in the past. Maybe Jerome did operate under extreme anger during the crime. Maybe Maria was indeed pressed by him to remain silent. We don't know. BUT, just based on the fact they brutally hacked the body and burnt it, the judge should have considered this as a special case. Plus, Maria's deception to his parents. (What was she thinking???) To me, these guys appear wayyy too bold for people who commit culpable homicide. Their calmness, composure, and boldness says something about the nature of the crime as well as the nature of the criminals. Its not as cut and dry as culpable homicide, there's more depth to this case than people are willing to see! Also, I think its high time certain sections (and maybe the entire) Indian judicial law be revisited and revised. Just look at the atrocities being committed against women. Domestic violence, rape, incest.....pedophiles are increasing. Our police have too high tolerance for crime. Unless fairness and justice are upheld by the entire nation, there will be plenty more Jeromes and Marias in the days to come. These two people, J and M, have set a bold (and unfortunate) example to today's youngsters. And if people assume that cold-blooded murderers can get away with minimal punishment in India, then the atrocities will increase by the hour. Sad.

 

Yes, brutality is thriving in our society by the day, very very unfortunately.

Judgment was wrong, I agree, but his problem is that he has to abide by the rules of law. And the rules allow only 3 years for destruction of evidence and 10 years for culpable homicide. So the judge did the best he could. The real problem lies in the way the case was presented by the prosecution. Instead of accusing Jerome alone for murder, they should have accused both J and M together as co-murderers, then at least M would gotten her fair share of punishment like J. The way the law sees her is as an accomplice who destroyed evidence and NOT as a murderer. The success of the prosecution lies in whether or not they can present BOTH J and M as co-murderers. And that will require portraying Maria as a sexual manipulator who toyed with the lives of two men. It is up to the talent of the Prosecutor to achieve this. Which is why people are raising money for Grover's parents to hire a better lawyer this time around.

Justice has been delivered, but fairness has been denied.
