These are excerpts from the judgement on the high profile Arushi murder case. Imagine being judged by someone who has the power to put you behind bars for the rest of your life and yet, makes no sense in his judgement. These bites are out any legal realm and would be fodder for a stand up comic if it wasn’t all so tragic. Go on read it, then shudder with the fear of it…and thank Sloppy Copy for collecting them. Except that this is beyond let’s have a good laugh sloppy copy in a newspaper, this is justice from a bizarre dispenser.

"The dead body of domestic servant Hemraj was found on the terrace of the house on 17.0.2008 and there is nothing to suggest that intruder(s) perpetrated this fiendish and flagitious crime."

"One must not forget that Bharti Mandal is totally illiterate and bucolic lady from lower strata of society and hails from Malda district of West Bengal who came to N.O.I.D.A. To perform a menial job to sustain herself and family."

"He has also admitted that Hemraj was average built but he has no knowledge as to whether his willy was turgid."
He refers to the poor young girl who was murdered as a 'beaut damsel and sole heiress".

He refers to the domestic help as: "a domestic aid who had migrated to India from neighbouring Nepal to eke out living and attended routinely to the chores of domestic drudgery at the house of their masters. "

"Now is the time to say omega in this case, to perorate it is proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused are the perpetrators of the crime in question. The parents are the best protectors of their own children. That is the order of human nature , but they have been freaks in the history of mankind where the father and mother became the killer of their own progeny. They have extirpated their own daughter who hardly seen 14 summers of her life and the servant without the compunction of terrestrial terrain in the breach of the commandment that thou shall not take a life.

Do you have the stomach for the rest of it? Then go to the site and read it for yourself.
