Correct!

Yes mom!

How would you define the defendant to met when

you first encountered to her in backyard?

l am sorry...l don't understand the question

l will ask again!

When you first encountered Mrs. Alavadia that night...

Would you describe herto me as alert and attentive or

perhaps dazed and incoherent

She seemed lucid and aware of her surroundings

He is lying!

That will be all, constable

Dr. Stillman, where do you currntly practice medicine?

l currently have my own practice in greenpark

And previously

Two years at the Housten Emergency Center

Do you recognize the defendant?

l do

Okay

Now try rotation from the shoulder!

lt is okay l am just going to check your site

Okay...the good news is that nothing has broken

But you will have to wrap on your wrist and

abdomen for several weeks, however

You said this happened in a fall

Yes...

l understand!

Mr. Alavadia l was wondering to you wife's site

ls that really necessary?

We have to pick up our son from my mother's

Look l really think you will be abased

Mrs. Alavadia...is there anything that you want to tell me?

No...

Docotor...Do you still believe that defendant

was an abused woman?

Yes...l do

Thank you...No further question

You have to, Kiran

My English is not good

They will laugh

No one is going to laugh on you.

The court will arrange interpreter

Look...l am running out of options

At this time our best hope is to put you on the stand

in hope that jury is sympethetic to you

l cannot!

lt is too shame

What, shame..Too shamefull

ls that you were ashamed?

Deepak was the one who should be ashamed?

Not you...lt is not yourfault

Council forthe defence...

Have you other wittnesses?

Defence rest...Your honour

Very well!

Members of the jury you may now retire

and consider all the evidence in the case

You heard statements that the victim, Deepak Alavadia

did on ocassion inflict bodily injury on the defendant

his wife

However, it would appearthat none of

these injury was of the highest severity

What rubbish?

Silence!

Any more of this and l will have the

gallary cleared

The fact that the most recent incident took

place of full two hours

before she poured all patrols overthe deceased

and then ignited it with a nugget flame

This alone is reason not to consider either a plea

of self defence or provokation

lf you cann't reach a unanimous decision

l will accept a majority verdict

Court will now adjourned while the jury delibrates

lt might not be today, but could be

enough for days

You could still go either way

lt doesn't matter

What?

Why did you say that?

l made a sin

l must beaten

Has the jury reached the verdict?

Yes, my Lord
