I have decided to write about this piece of news seeing all the hype this particular incident has generated and I feel extremely revolted after seeing some of the points made by the defendants’ lawyer, namely Mr Manohar Lal Sharma, a lawyer for one of the accused. Before that, i would suggest you to take a look at these links to get a feel of what is this case about:

Anyway, i am not saying that the accused should not be defended but to denounce their crimes entirely? What the lawyer is proposing can be deem insulting to women by some. After reading some of his defence grounds, which you can find more by googling his name, some will say his arguments are twisted.
In one article, the accused is said to be crying to the lawyer and telling the lawyer to get him out of “here”. However, how did the man feel when he was carrying out the horrific crime of raping and brutalizing a girl? The lack of humanity in his behavior deserved the most severe punishment that deter others from committing the same crime.
This trial is now one that can determine the future of women in India. If the suspects are let away too lightly as suggested by the brilliant lawyer, the future of India is a very bleak one indeed and i would strongly recommend all women not to go to India. There is no safety at all. It is not just that, the moral of the entire nation is at question here.
Take a look at this link: http://www.dailyshame.co.uk/2013/01/satire/manohar-lal-sharma-is-the-perfect-excuse-for-a-revolution-in-india/ where they pretty much sum up the ridiculous arguments they think made up by Mr Manohar Lal Sharma. Words cannot begin to describe how i have lost all my respect for this man even when i have never met him in my life.
