Description

Oxford University Press. Hardcover. NEW. The harshest punishment is reserved for the harshest crimes. Murderers, rapists, terrorists perpetrators of grisly acts these are the people on death row. The Supreme Court of India has repeatedly held that the death penalty can be awarded only in the rarest of rare cases, where guilt is proved beyond reasonable doubt. Yet, who is to say what that may be? For witnesses can lie and evidence be tampered with. In a system that is imperfect, not all those found guilty are truly demons, nor those who pass the sentence demigods, flawless and beyond reproach. In Demons and Demigods, Aparna Jha recounts how she successfully defended four death row inmates and makes an impassioned argument against capital punishment. For an eye for an eye, she argues, can leave the whole world blind.
