Supreme Court lawyer Sreejith Perumana criticized the court verdict awarding death sentence to first accused Greeshma in the Sharon murder case in Parassala. He opined that she cannot be hanged and that the Sharon case is not the rarest of the rare.

His words
Although the accused in the Sharon case was sentenced to death; Greeshma cannot be hanged; The trial court verdict goes to the applause of the crowd.

There is a strong disagreement that the trial court in the Sharon case issued a verdict that is sure to be weakened in the very first appeal court. Anyone who has stood in the rain on the court verandah will understand that murder by poisoning is not a rare case because it is in the name of love or because the internal organs were burned.

Literally, the accused Greeshma is the one who is going to benefit the most from this death sentence. The high court will stay the death penalty in the first instance and then it will be commuted to life imprisonment, there is no doubt that it will be weakened even more in the Supreme Court. The trial court has flouted all the Supreme Court guidelines in this case.

Meantime, if life imprisonment had been given, all the higher courts were likely to uphold it.

The state-sponsored murder of #deathpenalty carried out to satisfy public sentiment is not justice.

While congratulating the police and prosecution for investigating and completing the trial of a brutal murder, it cannot be ignored that the death penalty is natural
It should be guided by reason, not emotions

Those who fight for civil rights and the Constitution should especially reject this primitive state-sponsored murder that has no scientific or statistical basis.
what says the law? Do not kill, How can it say by Killing? The law says "Do not kill". How can that law say "Do not kill" by killing?

"Death penalty" does not reduce crimes; The Supreme Court's verdict can also be read along with this

The Supreme Court has an important verdict that there is no scientific or non-scientific evidence or statistics that the death penalty prevents the occurrence of crimes. The court made this clear by reducing the sentence of the convict sentenced to death to 30 years in prison.

By giving death penalty to criminals, others may or may not be deterred from committing crimes in the future. However, the court has also made it clear that there are no documents, evidence, or statistics available to prove that giving death penalty will reduce crimes in the society.
