00:36:57 chiastic soda it caused the reactions
00:36:59 similiarthat of the
00:37:01 In what way?
00:37:02 It caused the liquid too stick to
00:37:03 the victim's flesh
00:37:05 and keep burning for a longer period of time
00:37:07 In fact it cooked the flesh right over his bones
00:37:11 Thank you docotr

00:37:44 Shiela Alavadia.. you have been called

00:37:51 She is very elegant, always order Deepak around
00:37:55 The defence has made statment that your son
00:37:58 assaulted the defendant on many occasions
00:38:00 Did you witness any of these alleged
00:38:03 attacks?
00:38:06 If the oil isn't hot enough
00:38:08 Fritters burn outside but remain uncooked inside
00:38:11 It's that simples
00:38:17 What are you doing here?
00:38:20 You embarrass yourself

00:38:56 leaving the defendant with small children
00:38:59 for a brief time early this year
00:39:01 But she drive him away
00:39:02 Right
00:39:04 Because she was arrogant, demanding even.
00:39:07 She used to treat Deepak like a servant
00:39:09 My Lord.. defence has submitted a copy of letter C
00:39:12 written by care to her husband when he
00:39:14 left his past March
00:39:16 It was originally Punjabi, but it has been translated
00:39:18 into English for exhibit

00:40:28 So what do you want to me?
00:40:54 Before you!
00:40:57 It is yourturn now
00:41:03 You were the first on the night of question
00:41:05 Correct!
00:41:06 Yes mom!
00:41:08 How would you define the defendant to met when
00:41:13 I am sorry... I don't understand the question
00:41:17 I will ask again!
00:41:20 When you first encountered Mrs. Alavadia that night...
00:41:24 Would you describe herto me as alert and attentive or
00:41:26 perhaps dazed and incoherent
00:41:32 She seemed lucid and aware of her surroundings
00:41:38 He is lying!
00:41:45 That will be all, constable
00:41:51 Dr. Stillman, where do you currntly practice medicine?
00:41:53 I currently have my own practice in greenpark
00:41:55 And previously
00:41:57 Two years at the Housten Emergency Center
00:42:00 Do you recognize the defendant?
00:42:04 I do
00:42:11 Okay
00:42:13 Now try rotation from the shoulder!
00:42:20 It is okay I am just going to check your site
00:42:31 Okay... the good news is that nothing has broken
00:42:33 But you will have to wrap on your wrist and
00:42:38 You said this happened in a fall
00:42:43 Yes...
00:42:54 I understand!
00:42:57 Mr. Alavadia I was wondering to you wife's site
00:43:01 Is that really necessary?
00:43:11 We have to pick up our son from my mother's
00:43:13 Look I really think you will be abased
00:43:16 Mrs. Alavadia... is there anything that you want to tell me?
00:43:21 No...
00:43:28 Docotor... Do you still believe that defendant
00:43:32 Yes... I do
00:43:35 Thank you... No further question
00:43:40 You have to, Kiran
00:43:43 My English is not good
00:43:46 They will laugh
00:43:47 No one is going to laugh on you.
00:43:52 Look... I am running out of options
00:43:54 At this time our best hope is to put you on the stand
00:43:56 in hope that jury is sympethetic to you
00:44:02 I cannot!
00:44:05 It is too shame
00:44:09 What, shame.. Too shamefull
00:44:13 Is that you were ashamed?
00:44:15 Deepak was the one who should be ashamed?
00:44:17 Not you... It is not yourfault
00:44:20 Council forthe defence...
00:44:34 Defence rest... Your honour
00:44:36 Very well!
00:44:38 Members of the jury you may now retire
00:44:41 and consider all the evidence in the case
00:44:43 You heard statements that the victim, Deepak Alavadia
00:44:47 did on ocassion inflict bodily injury on the defendant
00:44:52 However, it would appearthat none of
00:44:54 these injury was of the highest severity
00:44:58 What rubbish?
00:45:00 Silence!
00:45:04 Any more of this and I will have the
00:45:08 The fact that the most recent incident took
00:45:12 before she poured all patrols overthe deceased
00:45:16 and then ignited it with a nugget flame
00:45:19 This alone is reason not to consider either a plea
00:45:22 of self defence or provokation
00:45:26 If you cann't reach a unanimous decision
00:45:28 I will accept a majority verdict
00:45:32 Court will now adjourned while the jury delibrates
00:45:35 It might not be today, but could be
00:45:44 You could still go either way
00:45:51 It doesn't matter
00:45:54 What?
00:46:00 I made a sin
00:46:07 I must beaten
00:46:13 Has the jury reached the verdict?
00:46:15 Yes, my Lord
00:46:17 Defendant will rise
00:46:22 Did the jury find the defendant guilty or..
00:46:25 not guilty of one counter murder?
00:46:28 Guilty!
00:46:34 Order...
00:46:36 or I will charge you with contempt!
00:46:40 Silence!
00:46:43 Kiran Alavadia you have been found guilty of a murder
00:46:47 I hereby sending you to life imprisment
00:46:52 Court is adjourned!
00:47:06 I am sorry!

00:51:10 And you?
00:51:12 Ronni is very brave... She stabbed her husband
00:51:16 Why?
00:51:24 I told him if he raised his hand on me again!
00:51:27 It will be his last time
00:51:29 Because he doubted my sencerity!
00:51:35 And you are not sorry
00:51:38 No... neither when I did it 8 years ago
00:51:45 Don't even ask about Gladys
00:51:52 Just because I didn't want to wash my dirty
00:52:02 How are you doing?
00:52:05 I can sleep better now
00:52:07 Getting use to to new place
00:52:09 Right!
00:52:11 Listen... The reason I wanted to talk
00:52:13 the judges handed down yourtariff

00:52:26 Kiran... Are you there?
00:52:29 So long!
00:52:32 The last six months of your remand will count towards it
00:52:42 I will not able to see my songs for so long
00:52:45 I am so sorry
00:52:50 I was there for every day of yourtrial
00:52:53 I was upset the way everything went
00:52:58 Why have you come here to see me now?
00:53:02 To help you with your appeal, Kiran?
00:53:06 I already have a lawer
00:53:08 yeah and what a great job she has done foryou
00:53:12 Has she begun working on your appeal?
00:53:14 Has she spoken to anyone?
00:53:16 Tell me Kiran... Has she even come to see you since you
00:53:23 I thought not
00:53:26 Time is running out foryour appeal
00:53:29 We will find you a better lawyer
00:53:30 Someone actually who can do something foryou
00:53:33 Kiran... Let us help you
00:53:38 Do you really want to help me?
00:53:41 Yes
00:53:43 Bring me my children, please
00:53:49 No.
00:53:51 She is their mother
00:53:52 I know who she is!
00:53:55 She is the bitch that killed my son
00:53:58 Don't come here again
00:54:01 You know she slammed the door on me so fast
00:54:04 I almost lost the door
00:54:05 And I guess nothing more we can do!
00:54:07 What are you saying?
00:54:08 We should just abandon
00:54:10 We should just let her do
00:54:11 Hey.. come on... it is no point anyway
00:54:14 The mother-in-law will not give the children
00:54:17 without court order
00:54:22 You are a bloody brilliant
00:54:35 Not so quick
00:54:38 Yeah.. Read this!
00:54:46 What does it say?
00:54:47 It is a court order!
00:54:48 It instructs you to deliverthe boys to me so that
00:54:52 What if I refuse you?
00:54:55 Then they will be visiting you in jail, as well
00:55:45 well!
00:55:47 We are in!
00:55:51 Come on.. You go right in
00:55:54 Good boy
00:55:58 Sandeep... Get him
00:56:02 I have an appointment to meet her lawyertomorrow
00:56:05 I don't believe it
00:56:07 How did you get these children?
00:56:10 With this court order
00:56:14 But this is an old one from another case
00:56:16 yes.
00:56:20 So I took a chance
00:56:22 You are evil
00:56:26 Hey... Baby you have seen nothing yet
00:56:49 Scott Veronica!
00:56:55 Look at her!
00:57:33 So what can I do foryou?
00:57:35 I am with southwells black sisters
00:57:37 I guess Kiran Jeet had told you that I will be stopping
00:57:40 Right
00:57:40 So what can I do foryou Mrs.?
00:57:42 Mrs. Dallal... But you can call me Raadha
00:57:45 As you can see from the condition of my desk
00:57:47 do discuss this
00:57:48 Is that what you are going to tell Kiran?
00:57:49 when she asks why you missed the cut
00:57:52 She has only two more days to submit grounds
00:57:55 or her setence stance
00:57:57 And you are saying that you don't seem prepared
00:58:00 Ms. Dallal let me be frank with you
00:58:03 I know your group and the work you do
00:58:05 I find a lot of it be quite commendable
00:58:07 I couldn't do your job
00:58:08 By that same turn
00:58:10 I also wouldn't walk into your office and
00:58:12 tell you how to do it?
00:58:13 I have not been for weeks, sometimes
00:58:16 all night looking for something, anything
00:58:19 on which to challange this conviction
00:58:21 I may not be one of those stuff shirts on
00:58:23 billing 500 pounds an hour and billing brandi in the club
00:58:27 But I know the law
00:58:29 And the honest truth is...
00:58:31 The verdict was accurate as a matter of law
00:58:34 I am sorry
00:58:35 I feel for hertoo
00:58:37 But there is just nothing else to be done
00:58:45 I suppose then we will have to look just
00:59:13 Deepak!
00:59:16 Oh! It's you
00:59:21 You got very late
00:59:31 What is this?
00:59:35 Alcohol?
00:59:44 You are beautiful
00:59:47 You have drunken a lot
00:59:51 No Deepak... Not here
01:00:16 What are you doing?
01:00:20 Think about kids!
01:01:02 It is okay
01:01:04 You are safe
01:01:05 You are okay
01:01:31 I killed my husband
01:01:39 I have been married to Deepak for 10 years
01:01:45 Not one night...
01:01:50 He beated up...
01:01:58 He sometimes..
01:02:07 Can I hug you?
01:02:15 So you killed him!
01:02:18 good!
01:02:30 I was born in the village of Chak Kallal
01:02:33 In Punjab
01:02:40 I was youngest in the 9 children and the most loved
01:02:47 My father died when I was only few months old
01:02:53 My mother died of cancer when
01:02:56 I was 16 years
01:03:02 She wanted me to become a lawyer
01:03:08 So why didn't you do that?
01:03:13 My husband didn't allow me
01:03:20 It is a free country Kiran
01:03:22 You can be what you want to be
01:03:28 But my family say get married, have children
01:03:31 be a proper Indian woman
01:03:45 I was a housewife in Bermingham
01:03:48 But you wouldn't be here
01:03:51 That was something worse than prison
01:04:00 Big word.
01:04:04 Big word.
01:04:11 It needs..
01:04:17 I need you
01:04:19 yeah.. You need me
01:04:20 Don't worry.. I can be better
01:04:45 It was becoming unbearable
01:04:51 She had only one desire now
01:04:55 having... bus...
01:05:09 heaving..
01:05:24 Next
01:05:27 Avadali!

01:06:20 You should be ashamed
01:06:22 I am carrying your baby

01:06:27 No
01:06:29 I said.. move...!

01:10:22 We have multiple relationships at best
01:10:25 She wouldn't even me helped her with her own

01:12:12 It's Gladys... Come on
01:12:34 What are you talking about?
01:12:48 That is right
01:12:49 She is a child killer
01:12:52 I am wonder how you can keep quiet

01:13:48 Whatever!
01:13:59 You are no need to assist someone
01:14:11 ...Hey
01:14:13 That was an accident
01:14:14 I was doing a lot of drinking
01:14:17 And one night I was making
01:14:18 to fell asleep
01:14:34 There were flames and screamings
01:14:39 My babies were screaming
01:14:58 I cannot
01:15:00 Why?
01:15:05 I feel ashamed
01:15:09 I cannot be so rude before the world
01:15:12 I understand Kiran
01:15:14 But people need to hearyour story in your own words
01:15:22 My English is still not very good
01:15:25 So do in Punjabi..
01:15:31 I don't know how
01:15:35 Say just the way you told me!
01:15:38 You will also have other women
01:15:40 Come on
01:15:41 The hall has been booked..
01:15:45 This rally is a good chance to get public support
01:15:50 Is your reputation more important than yourfreedom?
01:15:55 At least think of your children
01:16:19 My culture is like my blood
01:16:23 flowing through every vein of my body
01:16:27 It is the culture which I was born
01:16:29 Which sees the woman as teh honour of the house
01:16:34 In orderto afford this false honour
01:16:49 Awoman is a toy
01:16:50 a plaything
01:16:52 broken at will, stuck together at will!
01:16:56 For 10 years I lived alive of beatings and degregation
01:17:02 And no one noticed
01:17:04 I came out of my husband's jail and entered the jail of law
01:17:09 It is here that at last that I have found
01:17:23 I am so proud of you
01:17:59 James O'Connor
01:18:01 Who are you?
01:18:02 Anil Gupta, solicitor of Kiran Alavadia
01:18:20 What do you want?
01:18:22 I saw you in the rally
01:18:25 I am not going to be about the bush
01:18:30 I need your help in Kiran's matter
01:18:32 What are her chances?
01:18:34 To be honest... Remote!
01:18:44 Pretty girl... your wife?
01:18:48 my fiance... Foma
01:18:51 Oh Sorry
01:19:03 I am the world's worse irish man
01:19:07 Then afterthe case she knew something
01:19:11 Didn't know what exactly
01:19:12 She told she guessed something was
01:19:17 In the original trial!
01:19:19 You testified afterthe fire that Kiran was
01:19:27 Is that correct?
01:19:29 But I lied in court
01:19:33 She wasn't lucid.. She was hardly even aware
01:19:39 All I had to say... what happened
01:19:43 I promoted my career in front of truth
01:19:46 They say confession is good forthe soul
01:19:50 You think that is true
01:19:52 I believe it is true
01:20:30 Just let me do to talk around
01:20:32 Okay
01:20:36 I have looked oerthe material you sent to me
01:20:38 What do you think?
01:20:40 You are not giving to like it
01:20:42 Her statement is completely self justificatory
01:20:45 She did it.. She admits doing it
01:20:47 Why she should be treated differently from
01:20:50 But that is ridiculous..
01:20:52 Is there something that we could use?
01:20:54 There might be one thing
01:20:57 Followup on the prisnor psychiatrist report
01:21:00 He saw her shortly afterthe incidence just before trial
01:21:03 And he mentions endogenous depression!
01:21:07 Do you mean we have to say she is crazy
01:21:10 Thank you doctor... You have been of great help
01:21:12 What kind of world is this?
01:21:14 Where woman has to lose marbles to get justice
01:21:16 And the man has just to lose his temper
01:21:19 I am sorry doctor... Thank you again
01:21:21 We are leaving!
01:21:28 Ronni.. Look you will not believe the number of letters
01:21:32 What is wrong?
01:21:39 Your appeal!
01:21:51 I don't know what going to talk
01:22:08 Indian's average
01:22:17 When did you get such papers?
01:22:24 The day I met you
01:22:30 Why didn't Kiran's lawertried provokation
01:22:34 As it doesn't apply in our case?
01:22:43 So the law consider it a cooling down period
01:22:45 Basically what they are saying is
01:22:47 Kiran had time to calm down and think rationally
01:22:50 therefore no provokation... so it is not man assault
01:22:53 But she was emotionally, physically and sexually
01:22:58 One night she slept
01:23:00 so instead of cooling down she boiled over
01:23:04 Is that so difficult to..
01:23:06 That is bloody briliant
01:23:08 What?
01:23:09 We can use this as basis for appeal
01:23:11 Me!
01:23:13 The judge failed to mention Kiran's history of abuse
01:23:21 I mean this can be a misdirection of jury
01:23:23 So what are you saying... We have a chance
01:23:26 Yeah... a small one, but a chance
01:23:34 Where is Ronnie?
01:23:46 Ronnie?
01:23:55 Ronnie?
01:24:21 It is a sort of little determination to do such sort of damage
01:24:24 with a plastic blade
01:24:27 She is very lucky when you found her
01:24:29 She will be okay?
01:24:32 She will be confined to the ward until she
01:24:42 Nice work Alavadia!
01:24:45 You have saved me a mountain of paperwork
01:25:20 I don't know if this is a good idea
01:25:22 Trust us.. It is
01:25:26 You deserve what you look
01:26:39 Good luck Kiran
01:26:46 Kiran.. Kiran..
01:27:16 I went to the bank today
01:27:23 Tell me... What did you do with that?
01:27:27 I spent it
01:27:31 The money was mine...
01:27:37 I spent it!
01:27:40 Food foryour sons
01:27:42 You would have blown it on your white whores
01:27:54 What If I burn that bloody face of which you
01:27:59 This is my house
01:28:00 It is my money
01:28:03 If I were to spend on another woman..
01:28:16 Who is going to stop me?
01:28:19 You!
01:28:33 You woman are nothing..
01:28:39 else than nothing
01:30:15 All rise..
01:30:29 Council.. Are you ready to present your case?
01:30:33 Yes Your honour
01:30:34 Proceed
01:30:35 My Lord today we have come before you to present our
01:30:41 Kiran Jeet.. Alavadia!
01:30:43 And her conviction for murder
01:30:46 which was handed down by the court on
01:30:50 It is our beliefs my Lord that this
01:30:52 conviction was handed down in error
01:30:55 And in such we seek appeal for a new trial
01:30:58 We note that you are presenting grounds foryour appeal
01:31:02 My Lords we seek appeal on three grounds
01:31:07 My first and second submissions relate to the
01:31:11 On provokation
01:31:14 The classic definition of provokation is that which was
01:31:17 in Regina versus Duffy
01:31:21 I quote "provokation"
01:31:25 "is some act or series of acts, which
01:31:29 could cause any reasonable person
01:31:31 a sudden and temporarily loss of self control
01:31:35 rendering the accused sole subject to passion
01:31:38 as to make him or herforthe moment not
01:31:41 master of his or her own mind
01:31:44 My Lords I believe the judge in the present case
01:31:49 repeated those very words on that date
01:31:53 And he is summing up
01:31:55 Indeed My Lord that is true
01:31:56 However, it is my belief that the Duffy direction followed
01:32:00 to put it bluntly incorrect
01:32:03 Trade softly, council
01:32:05 Big pardon, My Lord
01:32:07 No disrespect intended
01:32:09 However, in his submation to the jury..
01:32:13 His lordship remarked that due to the two hour
01:32:16 cooling out period between assaulted my client
01:32:21 And the subsequent crime for which she was charged
01:32:24 No plea or provokation could be considered
01:32:27 And yet My Lords
01:32:28 The homocial act of 1957 reads..
01:32:31 Where there is evidence on which the jury confined
01:32:34 the defendant was provoked
01:32:37 to lose his self control
01:32:39 The question of whether it was enough to make
01:32:42 do as they did shall be left to the jury!
01:32:46 It could be argument My Lord.. but the
01:32:50 judge didn't consider setting fire to a man who slept
01:32:54 the actions of a reasonable person
01:32:57 Reasonable My Lord to whom...
01:33:02 orto a woman who suffered voilance and abuse
01:33:05 and humilation of the highest order of 10 years
01:33:08 Who feard not only for her life, but forthe
01:33:13 I myself couldn't, wouldn't persume to know
01:33:17 What reasonable would be for
01:33:19 such a woman!
01:33:23 My second submission My Lords
01:33:26 concerned the way the learnant judge dealt with the
01:33:29 of the list of the characteristics
01:33:32 I submit My Lords
01:33:34 That this woman was suffering from
01:33:37 And that ill treatment so affected her personality that
01:33:40 lead herto a state of learnt helplessness
01:33:45 A phrase used by those who have recognized this condition
01:33:48 You believe that the judge should have added
01:33:52 Orthe least My Lords left the list opened so that jury
01:33:55 forthemselves
01:33:57 Finally, my third submission deals with the grounds
01:34:03 We submit the sole statement of police constable,
01:34:07 stating that the defendant was neither lucid, nor aware
01:34:12 When he interviewed her immediately afterthe incident
01:34:16 Also My Lords we have psychiatric reports..
01:34:19 Most of them came recently, which express the opinion
01:34:21 that at the time of the killing
01:34:24 the defendant's mental responsitbility for her
01:34:29 within the meaning of homocial act of 1957
01:34:33 My Lords my client has suffered two major injustices
01:34:38 First the man who promised to love and honour
01:34:42 And second by our system of justice
01:34:45 It is tragically too late to correct the first
01:34:49 But by granting our appeal you will help us on
01:34:52 towards the rectifying the second
01:35:00 We will considerthe issues overnight
01:35:03 Court is adjourned until 10:30 a. m. tomorrow
01:35:12 One more please
01:35:17 So what are we drinking too, Mr. solicitor?
01:35:22 To victory tomorrow orto one of my lost causes
01:35:32 Because it is personal
01:35:34 What?
01:35:36 My sister!
01:35:39 How could I have been so blind?
01:35:43 You know.. Everytime I would see her bruises
01:35:46 She would tell me the story to walking into
01:35:51 And I actually believed it
01:35:54 How would you protect that stupid bastard?
01:35:57 Do you know... He is to beat her black and blue
01:36:06 and no one had intervened it
01:36:10 Then one day she just killed herself
01:36:17 And I could do nothing
01:36:22 I couldn't save her
01:36:25 I am so sorry
01:36:27 I didn't know
01:36:33 This is to sister
01:37:03 Kiran Jeet..
01:37:05 This is a tragic case that has aroused much public attention
01:37:10 Three grounds of appeal hae been raised
01:37:14 The first two relates to the learner judges
01:37:18 on provokation
01:37:20 In my judgement the summing up of learnet judge
01:37:24 was correct in law...
01:37:26 Turning to the third ground of appeal
01:37:30 the diminished responsibility... We can
01:37:36 We had before us a report, which
01:37:39 was available before trial
01:37:42 in which a doctor was expressing the opinion that the
01:37:46 from endogenous depression
01:37:49 at the material time
01:37:52 It is unclear how such potentially important
01:37:57 to be overlooked
01:37:59 In these circumstances we considerthe verdict to be unsafe
01:38:05 And as such we considerthe proper course here is to order
01:38:09 a retrial...
01:38:31 There was never a retrial of course
01:38:33 The court could neverfind a woman who would
01:38:38 So on September 25, 1992
01:38:41 They reduced her setentece to mansalughter and
01:38:46 accepted that 3 years 4 months that
01:39:21 Kiran.. Afew words from you
01:39:27 Thank you for all this
01:39:32 In life there is no honour in silence suffering
01:39:36 There is no affection, no comfort to be found
01:39:39 in love that is abused
01:39:42 It is our responsibility as mothers
01:39:44 To raise our son to treat women with love and respect
01:39:48 Not voilance and anger
01:39:51 Only then the suffering will end
01:39:57 My story is a part of the picture
01:40:00 I am not important, but this issue is
01:40:07 Please don't forget that there are many
01:40:12 who need help from you!
01:40:18 Please...
01:40:30 Mostly we can,t imagine what is life to spend
01:40:34 It was herfirst step towards freedom
01:40:38 It was herfirst step towards freedom
