A death sentence is given incase the accuseds have committed a murder and when the said persons are well aware of what they are doing. There are cases where people have accidentaly committed the crime and some accused who are mentally unstable don't realize what they are doing. By what you have written, I understand you are in favor of a barbaric laws which will not even allow us to voice our opinions as we are doing here. Be careful of what you wish for. As for the case we are discussing here, a crime was definately committed and it was for the judiciary to decide, there are sympathizers of Mr. Sanjay Dutt and to some extent I do agree a lesser sentence of may 3 yrs might have been appropiate but one thing is for sure, justice has been served and this judgement reinstates our faith in Judiciary of this country and proves that no one is above the law.
