Pune (India) Porsche crash case: (Alleged blood-switching case): A new twist in a bid to release a wealthy builder's son from custody: The Hindustan Times (Reporter Nadeem Inamdarm) reports that police anticipate that the defence will try to blame the accident on the two deceased men…"Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar said that they are yet to received the final autopsy report of the victims. “Even if it shows that the two motorcycle riders who died were drunk, it is immaterial as the Porsche driven by the accused teenager hit them from behind. Whether the deceased had consumed alcohol or not holds no water and has no impact on the case,” Kumar said. The minor driving the luxury car had knocked down and killed two techies Anish Awadhiya and Ashwini Koshta at Kalyaningar on May 19."


PASSAGE OF THE DAY: "Earlier in the morning, Nationalist Congress Party (Sharadchandra Pawar) leader and former Maharashtra home minister Anil Deshmukh alleged that attempts are being made to prove that the deceased IT professionals were drunk.  He stated that it could be argued in court that the accident took place because of them (victims), and the minor, who is currently in the observation home, could be released in the Porsche crash case. The former home minister wrote on X: “In the Pune Porsche accident case, it has come to the fore that under political pressure, attempts were made to change the blood samples of the accused and prepare a report that the accused had not consumed alcohol. Now, as a former home minister, my information is that preparations have been made to show alcohol positive in the viscera report of the deceased. So, it can be proved in the court that the IT professionals on the motorcycle who died were drunk and it was due to them that the accident happened. So that the builder’s son can be released soon.”

FINAL WORD:  (Applicable to all of our wrongful conviction cases):  "Whenever there is a wrongful conviction, it exposes errors in our criminal legal system, and we hope that this case — and lessons from it — can prevent future injustices."

Lawyer Radha Natarajan:

Executive Director: New England Innocence Project;

FINAL, FINAL WORD: "Since its inception, the Innocence Project has pushed the criminal legal system to confront and correct the laws and policies that cause and contribute to wrongful convictions.   They never shied away from the hard cases — the ones involving eyewitness identifications, confessions, and bite marks. Instead, in the course of presenting scientific evidence of innocence, they've exposed the unreliability of evidence that was, for centuries, deemed untouchable." So true!

Christina Swarns: Executive Director: The Innocence Project;

YET ANOTHER FINAL WORD:


David Hammond, one of Broadwater's attorneys who sought his exoneration, told the Syracuse Post-Standard, "Sprinkle some junk science onto a faulty identification, and it's the perfect recipe for a wrongful conviction.
