Jessica Case
by M Kasim on Mar 22, 2006 07:13 PM   Permalink

Jessica was murdered in presence of many. The culprits could not brought to book because the witnesses didnt cooperate and the investigation was messed up. The court is equally resposible. It can free the accused in the light of facts presented before it but the fact that the murder took place and someone is the murderer can not be overlooked.
In many cases the courts take suo moto action on media reports, here much more was before it, still it failed to reccomend anything for tracing the murderers.
If a citizen is murdered in such a situation and the investigators and courts fail to find and fix the criminals, why the State should not be held resposible for the murder? For failure of various organs, why it should not be forced to pay a heavy compensation to the family. The compensation should be recovered from those who investigate and decide the case.
