Political Thoughts - Contd.

The trend [key witnesses turning hostile] which was recently spotlighted in Best Bakery and BMW hit-and-run cases has undermined public confidence in the criminal justice system and contributed to the abysmal rate of convictions in India. Preventing witnesses from turning hostile doesnot mean merely making them feel more secure. The Jessica Lal case suggests it is also about making it less troublesome and inconvenient for them.
