Nirbhaya case: SC dismisses review plea - will the accused be hanged n

The Supreme Court today dismissed pleas
filed by three out of the four convicts
seeking review of its verdict upholding the
death penalty awarded to them in the
sensational December 16, 2012 Nirbhaya
gangrape and murder case.
A bench comprising Chief Justice Dipak Misra
and Justices R Banumathi and Ashok
Bhushan rejected the review pleas filed by
Mukesh (29), Pawan Gupta (22) and Vinay
Sharma (23), saying no grounds have been
made out by them for review of the verdict.
So will they be hanged now?
Now the convicts have two legal recourses.
1) Approach the Supreme Court through a
curative plea seeking commutation of their
death sentences.
2) If the SC rejects their curative petition,
they can, as a last resort, file a mercy plea
before the President of India.
The apex court said the death row convicts
failed to point out "error apparent on the
face of record" in the judgement.
The bench also said that these three
convicts were heard elaborately during the
stage of their appeal against the Delhi High
Court's judgement and no case has been
made out by them for review of the apex
court's verdict upholding the death penalty.
The fourth death row convict, Akshay Kumar
Singh (31), did not file a review petition
against the apex court's May 5, 2017
judgement.
The apex court in its 2017 verdict had
upheld the capital punishment awarded to
them by the Delhi High Court and the trial
court in the case of gangrape and murder of
a 23-year-old paramedic student on
December 16, 2012 here.
The woman was gangraped on the
intervening night of December 16-17, 2012
inside a running bus in South Delhi by six
persons and severely assaulted before being
thrown out on the road. She succumbed to
injuries on December 29, 2012 at Mount
Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore.
One of the accused in the case, Ram Singh,
had allegedly committed suicide in the Tihar
Jail here.
A juvenile, who was among the accused,
was convicted by a juvenile justice board. He
was released from a reformation home after
serving a three-year term.

I'm glad that the SC upheld the death penalty for the convicts.

After Nirbhaya, I really had high hopes that things would get better and that this case and the consequences faced by these men would act as a deterrent to many others. Unfortunately, that's still not the case.

Education and teaching your sons to respect women is key IMO.

That said, I've always felt conflicted about death penalties. Do we really have the right to take someone else's life?

what people sow they reap.
those low lifes had no right to savage Nirbhaya and leave her for death.
If they can kill an innocent soul with premeditated plan, I have no qualms in killing them.

castarate

Men who are castrated often are still able to have an erection and may be capable of intercourse. Their sex drive is diminished because the testicles are no longer present to produce testosterone. But the drive is not eliminated. A small amount of testosterone is also produced in the adrenal glands; if the supply from the testicles is reduced, the adrenal glands compensate and produce more of the hormone.

Rape crisis workers say that violence, not sex, is the real problem, which castration fails to address. "This misfocuses the issue and feeds into the myths about rape," said Denise Snyder, executive director of the D.C. Rape Crisis Center. "Sexual assault is a crime of violence and aggression . . . not the product of an uncontrollable sex drive."

The problem is often in the brain, not the testicles, said Barbara K. Schwartz, director of the Sex Offender Treatment Program at Twin Rivers Correctional Center in Monroe, Wash. A rapist who has been castrated "could still be a phenomenal danger. He can go out and, instead of raping people, he can assault them with broom handles or bottles or beat them up or kill them."

^death sentence then, with public humiliation.

Why are they still the 'accused'?🤢
