According to them, courts below wrongly convicted them of 1st Degree Murder and wrongly sentenced them to jail for their whole life.
According to them, they were poor, within age group of 18 to 20. Whatever happened, had happened due to their sudden loss of temper, stupidity and anger.
Since they were poor, they could not hire expert lawyers. They could not argue their case properly in courts below. And hence they are languishing in jail due to poverty and lack of emotional education.
If Superior Courts, can extend principle of Plea Bargaining (After notice to complainant and State Governments), they are willing to undergo jail for 10 years. They are willing to pay more fine and compensation to victim. They want them to be permitted to plead guilty of 2nd degree murder under Sec. 304(2).
This is only a humble request to consider the limitations of laws if possible. This is also a request to law makers if amendment in law if possible. This is also a request to elite class of society who can request law maker to consider the issue. I have no personal interest in this issue. I have not written this to seek undue publicity or to show disrespect to otherwise normal procedure of stating our arguments only in court.
