While your enthusiasm to declare Salman innocent is touching...I just want to remind you that prosecution has conclusively proved Salman WAS driving-First of all thru Patil's statements and secondly thru fifty thousand other witnesses who saw him get into the car at the wheel and come out of the car from the wheel before he ran away. Dont get excited by the bail. Its a long road ahead which might end up with Salman getting a sterner sentence when the case concludes after 20 years,
Too narrow minded. Tsk, tsk.
I don't care whether Salman goes to jail or remains out. But you have to pick up facts. The point is whether he was driving in reality or he wasn't doesn't bother the court as much as if he's proven he was driving or not.
Patil is no longer alive to testify and his statements have been rebuked by Salman's driver and now, presumably, Kamaal Khan. The way defense destroyed Prosecution and the way the HC Judge repeatedly questioned prosecution's case is something you're not accustomed to.
There are too many loop holes in this case for it to ever reach a conclusion. Sessions Court hurried with their verdict. Whether you're biased or not, you have to admit that not asking Kamaal Khan and stating that "it wasn't necessary" was negligence of the highest order.
Secondly, if Salman was drunk AND driving, culpable homicide not amounting to murder doesn't apply because alcohol distorts perception, hence, Salman was reckless, but he wouldn't have prior knowledge of the extent because his judgment was already diluted. That's another inconsistency in verdict from the Sessions Court.
When law looks at these cases, they don't consider emotions. It's hardcore facts. Problem with this case is - the prosecution don't have cold evidence against Salman and they're in pole position to charge him. It's not the other way around. I'm speaking from a perfectly rational, legal point of view.
Compare this case to the Black Buck one, Salman will face lots of troubles in that one because they actually have tangible proof against him rather than a mere official statement that doesn't seem to be holding as much weight.
