The Twisted Aarushi Verdict

                                                                             

                                                                                 

the verdict in the Aarushi Talwar case is finally out...the parents have been held guilty of murdering their daughter as well as their servant Hemraj....
The verdict itself is bizarre....the CBI or the police didn't  do their work cut out for them at the scene of crime....the sloppy manner in which the evidence was collected the clueless manner of investigation and the way the bodies of the victims were recovered.
From all accounts the prosecution proceeded at its own pace and didn't allow the defense to place certain crucial facts before them - the Talwars had to rush to courts for a direction several times to allow them to place material facts which were missing but somehow or the other luck alluded them at every step...as if destiny was waiting for them at every crossroad....
However whats surprising that should decisions be subject to personal prejudices or on the evidence available on record....
Should the requirements of the case not be paramount rather than hearsay and whims and fancies...if the case requires that the entire gamut of witnesses be examined should that request be denied?

The same agency which filed a closure report in the absence of any credible evidence did a U turn and asked for their conviction
The fault of the parents seem to be that in their quest for justice they seem to have forgotten that the agency did not have any credible answers, yet the parents being parents insisted - they needed the police to find the killers of their beloved daughter
It was this stubbornness which probably did them in.....they were bewildered to find that the very agency to which they were looking for justice was in fact gunning for their own blood...
Ultimately the (un) expected happened and the Talwars themselves were convicted of the murder of their only child for whom they beseeched the agency and the law....
Their conviction itself is a sort of deathblow on the parents, and indeed seems a 'miscarriage of justice'....
will this family finally get justice now is something we have to wait and see....
