Provoked: A True Story Page #4

To whom?

Favorto my sister Veronica Scott!

She is acquainted with your client at Marvin Hall

lndeed l believe they are cell-mates

You are her brother!

To be perfectly honest l was surprised to get her call

We have multiple relationships at best

She wouldn't even me helped her with her own

legal case

She must consider Mrs. Alavadia to be a very good friend

Hi..

What?

You are welcome!

Okay...now l am having trouble brathing now

Jamila..!

Can't you read English?

Can't you?

This isn't stupid words...it's a woman life

No bails means no bails

So sorry officer

we will remove them

See you too

Are you crazy...?

we aren't going to remove them

What?

l don't believe this

Nuna..What is happening?

lt's Gladys...Come on

What are you talking about?

That is right

She is a child killer

l am wonder how you can keep quiet

No

What do you want to know about No

Piss off

Leave her alone

You are telling me what l do

Why?

She is a friend

And l don't like police

You will need to get me too

Whatever!

You are no need to assist someone

...Hey

That was an accident

l was doing a lot of drinking

And one night l was making

to fell asleep

There were flames and screamings

My babies were screaming

l cannot

Why?

l feel ashamed

l cannot be so rude before the world

l understand Kiran

But people need to hearyour story in your own words

My English is still not very good

So do in Punjabi..

l will translate that in English

l don't know how

what to say?

Say just the way you told me!

You will also have other women

Come on

The hall has been booked..

We have mailed out the leaflets

This rally is a good chance to get public support

ls your reputation more important than yourfreedom?

At least think of your children

My culture is like my blood

flowing through every vein of my body

lt is the culture which l was born

Which sees the woman as teh honour of the house

ln orderto afford this false honour

Awoman is a toy

a plaything

broken at will, stuck together at will!

For 10 years l lived alive of beatings and degregation

And no one noticed

l came out of my husband's jail and entered the jail of law

lt is here that at last that l have found

a kind of freedom

l am so proud of you

James O'Connor

Who are you?

Anil Gupta, solicitor of Kiran Alavadia

What do you want?

l saw you in the rally

l am not going to be about the bush

l need your help in Kiran's matter

What are her chances?

To be honest...Remote!

Pretty girl...your wife?

my fiance....Foma

Oh Sorry

l am the world's worse irish man

Then afterthe case she knew something

has changed

Didn't know what exactly

She told she guessed something was

eating me up inside

ln the original trial!

You testified afterthe fire that Kiran was

lucid and aware of the surroundings

ls that correct?

But l lied in court

She wasn't lucid..She was hardly even aware

even in there

All l had to say...what happened

l promoted my career in front of truth

They say confession is good forthe soul

You think that is true

l believe it is true

Just let me do to talk around

Okay

l have looked oerthe material you sent to me

What do you think?

You are not giving to like it

Her statement is completely self justificatory

She did it..She admits doing it

Why she should be treated differently from

any other murderer

But that is ridiculous..

you know that she is

ls there something that we could use?

There might be one thing

Followup on the prisnor psychiatrist report

He saw her shortly afterthe incidence just before trial

And he mentions endogenous depression!

Do you mean we have to say she is crazy

Thank you doctor...You have been of great help

What kind of world is this?

Where woman has to lose marbles to get justice

And the man has just to lose his temper

l am sorry doctor...Thank you again

We are leaving!

Ronni..Look you will not believe the number of letters

What is wrong?

Your appeal!

l don't know what going to talk

lndian's average

When did you get such papers?

The day l met you

Why didn't Kiran's lawertried provokation

as defence?

As it doesn't apply in our case?

So the law consider it a cooling down period

Basically what they are saying is

Kiran had time to calm down and think rationally

therefore no provokation...so it is not man assault

it is murder

But she was emotionally, physically and sexually

abused for 10 years

One night she slept

so instead of cooling down she boiled over

ls that so difficult to..

That is bloody briliant

What?

We can use this as basis for appeal

Me!

The judge failed to mention Kiran's history of abuse

l mean this can be a misdirection of jury

So what are you saying...We have a chance

Yeah...a small one, but a chance

Where is Ronnie?

Ronnie?

Ronnie?

lt is a sort of little determination to do such sort of damage

with a plastic blade

She is very lucky when you found her

She will be okay?

She will be confined to the ward until she

recovers under suicidal attempt

Nice work Alavadia!

You have saved me a mountain of paperwork

l don't know if this is a good idea

Trust us..lt is

You deserve what you look

Good luck Kiran

Show them what you are!

Kiran..Kiran..

Go...Go...Go...

l went to the bank today

Where is the money?

Tell me...What did you do with that?

l spent it

The money was mine...

You b*tch..You had no right

l spent it!

Food foryour sons

You would have blown it on your white whores

What lf l burn that bloody face of which you

are proud of?

This is my house

lt is my money

lf l were to spend on another woman..

l will

Who is going to stop me?

You!

You woman are nothing..

You are a c*nt

else than nothing

All rise..

Council..Are you ready to present your case?

Yes Your honour

Proceed

My Lord today we have come before you to present our

appeal on bahlf of our client

Kiran Jeet..Alavadia!

And her conviction for murder

which was handed down by the court on

December 07, 1989

lt is our beliefs my Lord that this

conviction was handed down in error

And in such we seek appeal for a new trial

We note that you are presenting grounds foryour appeal

My Lords we seek appeal on three grounds

My first and second submissions relate to the

judges direction to jury

On provokation

The classic definition of provokation is that which was

approved by this court

in Regina versus Duffy

l quote ''provokation''

''is some act or series of acts, which

could cause any reasonable person

a sudden and temporarily loss of self control

rendering the accused sole subject to passion

as to make him or herforthe moment not

master of his or her own mind

My Lords l believe the judge in the present case

repeated those very words on that date

to the jury

And he is summing up

lndeed My Lord that is true

However, it is my belief that the Duffy direction followed

by that judge

to put it bluntly incorrect

Trade softly, council

Big pardon, My Lord

No disrespect intended
