Claiming that much of the prosecution evidence in the Jessica Lal murder case was false and created doubts, prime accused Manu Sharma's counsel Ram Jethmalani on Tuesday told the Delhi High Court that his client deserves to be given the benefit of doubt.
Accusing the police of fabricating evidence against Sharma, he told a division bench comprising Justice R S Sodhi and Justice P K Bhasin that police had failed to find the real culprit and prosecuted Sharma for murdering Lal.
"Two-thirds of the evidence produced by the prosecution is false. When majority of the evidence is false, the whole case is doubtful," Jethmalani argued.
Resuming his arguments, the counsel referred to the testimony of hostile witness Shyan Munshi and said Munshi's testimony corroborated ballistic reports in the true sense given by three experts (Roop Singh, P S Minocha and his junior Satyender Singh)
