Davis Case Updates - The Twist


The way Raymond Davis case was going, it was quite evident that this incredibly obvious case would ultimately be twisted and taken into completely different directions. Although, who would possibly have doubt in understanding that the American did in fact kill two people who didn't threaten him in anyway. A bystander died miserably for no reason by a few people in a car that came see that Davis stayed secured and well protected after killing two common Pakistanis. And then the suicide committed by the young wife of one of the men killed by Davis in protest against government's political change in attitude that would set Davis free.

Anyhow, now for the record US Senator John Kerry after his short visit to Pakistan regarding the Davis case things are taking another turn. It is being noticed that there is shift in the US stance from talking about diplomatic immunity to now blood money and compensation. Pakistan's government is worried that bad ties with US would mean heavy losses in aid of many forms, which is why they are suggesting low measures. 

Thus, now it is quite possible that US might apologize for the incident and would pay compensation to the heirs of the victims. Our puppet Prime Minister, Yousuf Raza Gilani was the one who urged US to tackle the case by thinking about the family members of those killed and the sentiments of the people of Pakistan who want justice.

On the other hand, it is reported that the all the families of the three victims have unanimously agreed on not accepting any compensation. They want death sentence for Davis. In fact, one of the victim's family refused to meet American Senator John Kerry who wanted to grief on the death of the young man. 

It is so strange that such a big nation like America can't support justice in this case and are going mad to release a man who did in fact commit  crime, which is so obvious. He did kill two men for no reason. Because of him another man died on the road. Indirectly, because of him a young girl who was expecting her first child also committed suicide. It is unfair the way this case is being handled. How can money compensate human life?
