Delhi gang-rape: juvenile found guilty of rape and murder, gets less than three years in reform home | NDTV.com Just saw the breaking news that the court has found the juvenile accused in the Delhi gang-rape guilty of rape and murder. He has been sentenced three years at a reform home. The parents of India's Braveheart Nirbhaya broke down on eharing this verdict and feel that this punishment is not enough and as good as no punishment for this criminal murderer.
This judgment was expected , this is the maximum sentence for a juvenile, that too can be reviewed! Its sad that a culprit is judged by his age and not seriousness of crime. It has been proved that the boy was the main perpetrator and tormentor of the victim and also the most vicious of all, he did maximum harm , but he will get the lightest sentence due to his age. The victim in Asaram's molestation case is a juvenile/ minor so will the judge give a harsher sentence if charges are proved? In Mumbai case one history sheeter has proved that he is a juvenile and the earlier birthdate was false. Its said that now juveniles may be tempted to crime due to the light sentence awarded. Nirbhaya's parents will be going to the higher court for justice. A person should be judged according to the crime committed and not his age.
true, it is a big dissapointment, but it was expected. that is the maximum sentence a juvenile has to serve for any kind of crime.
Is there any "way"(other than rallies) we can protest this judgement and support her parents or is it all in the hands of law? In any case, he'll get judged in the supremest court....my deeeepest prayer to God.
I am sure someone will take care of him once his three years are up and he is out on the streets again...god will take care of him.. he doesn't deserve to breathe
very dissappointed with the judgement parrents of nirbhaya should appeal for higher court this 3 years punishments nothing but encouraging to commit one more crime our justice goddess is blind folded not to see the truth
