The whole concept of eye witness as the key evidence for a rape case is totally absurd and undigestable.
They basically want to bring Vidit out of coma and build the story from that angle and forgot how a rape case is presented in court.
It reminds me of Shiney Ahuja rape case of a maid. Had the court asked for an eye witness, he would have been happily out from day 1 without being behind bars.
It is a simple case where the victim can identify the raptist and the defense can then question the motive of the rape and chargesheet Mandira back with her character and desire to be a diwan and then with the physical scars on Mandira, medical report, and Sameer fingerprints the case would be strengthened for Mandira and if there is circumstantial evidence that makes it very difficult for Sameer to escape.

This is my very first post on India Forums. The most puzzling part of this case is that in USA the rape case is a criminal case and I believe that the State, County or City prosecutor brings on the charges. It is not defended by a regular lawyer. Only in civil case two individual lawyers can fights the case for plaintiff and the accused. In such situations, nobody goes to jail!

So the question I have for everyone is since when rape cases (i.e.; criminal cases) are fought in court by private lawyers?😛

Thanks.
