Aarushi-Hemraj case: The judge has done a great job

Editor’s note: This is a reader comment we received on the article, What makes the judgement in the Aarushi-Hemraj case so controversial published earlier today. As per Firstpost policy, we have lightly edited for grammar and spelling, but the comment has been left as it is. by Sushant Reddy I have said this in other forums as well and will repeat it again here; the judge has laid out 26 points which made him arrive at the conclusion that the couple is guilty. Instead of going round and round, can you please provide a point by point rebuttal to those 26 points. Any self thinking person, I would assume, would concur with the judge after going through those 26 points. Assuming that the alternative hypothesis is true (that there were 7 people and not 4 in the flat on that fateful night), the judge was ending up with too many inconsistencies and contradictions. So he must have rejected it and accepted the original hypothesis that the couple committed the crime. That is like arriving at a result for a problem with insufficient information by eliminating the unlikely possibilities.

I think the judge has done a great job.
