Hi Carmo
Thanks for your response. I am glad to learn that you are a medical doctor
and indeed in the USA. Until you made this clear I had assumed you were
writing from Goa and close to the scene of the brutal murder of Fr Eusebio.
In my view, you may be a brilliant doctor technically but it is questionable
whether you are also a thinking one who does credit to the learned
profession. Nor do I think you make much of an amateur lawyer as even
without knowing much about the legal system in India, I believe you have
made several errors. Indian law is not based on the Bible (especially the
blood-thirsty Old Testament) by any stretch of the imagination. It is
largely drawn from English law simply because of the former British
connection. This is also true for Canada, NZ and Australia and many parts of
Africa. Secondly admission of guilt is not enough for a trial. People admit
to crime for unbelievable reasons. In the UK, crime goes up around Christmas
because several people in drab circumstances, want the warmth, Christmas
season TV, comfort, and even camaraderie of a prison at that time! Strange
but true. People who are not quite OK in the head admit to crimes when it is
entirely untrue. Thirdly, and very importantly, the law needs to find the
real culprit through forensic tests etc and not someone who may admit to a
crime for bogus reasons or being of unsound mind. Finally, and even more
importantly, the two men are innocent until proven guilty by a proper court.
I honestly believe that in the circumstances, you really need to say that
your utterances were ill-judged. This would enhance your reputation for
being a real man, rather than if you stick to your guns on the absurdity of
upside down crucufiction, stoning, public display of execution and
harvesting of organs.
All good sincere wishes. I will keep my fingers crossed and await your
sensible recant!

Penalty
Hi Cornel,
Thanks for your response and advice, I really appreciate it.
Please note that there was no emotional outburst here.
It was a response based on my extensive experience on all what is wrong
with
India during my travels as a hockey player all over India and as a student
in
Bombay and Bengal... The Naxalbari (Naxalite) movement in Bengal, the Sikh
insurgency in Punjab, the Dacoitry in MP, UP... - I have seen it all. I
really
do not wish such predicaments for our peace-loving state of Goa.
I know that we have some B....-B... (Do Nothing) type Goans who live
comfortably abroad and cannot empathize with the status quo in Goa..
We need to do something different (all within the realms of the the India
constitution) and do something that would be a strong deterrent for
"Bhaille Butchers" such as Amit Shukla and Manish Dubey who are looking
forward to commit crime in Goa and I am overwhelmed by the public outcry
and support for my suggestions.
Best Regards,
Carmo

Further to your post to Jose below, irrespective of whether Jose is a
devout Catholic or not, and irrespective of whether Jose accepts the
Bible texts as supplied by you, or not, India does have, and does use,
the death penalty by hanging. Justice will therefore normally be done
in Goa/India irrespective of those who find the death penalty acceptable
or not, as a deterrent.
