So just today I saw a new series on Netflix Canada titled Delhi Crimes. The first season is about that most infamous rape case that happened in 2012. While not being explicit with the imagery (if you know the history of the case) a lot of the descriptions of what happened by the criminals and the verbal language was explicit as well as disturbing. I find it to be intriguing...Have any of you seen it? I felt at times that death would be too easy for these perpetrators, and thy should be made to suffer for what they did. I even imagined just bashing their skulls against the walls (if you've been to India, you know they know of no such thing as drywall...it's all brick)...

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.So I finished the series, and a lot of the violence was heavily implied.
This is the difference between horror movies/violent and true crime. The public claims violent movies desensitize the public to violence. No, it really doesn't, because movie violence follows a set of rules, whereas actual violence has no such parameter.

One of the reasons I’m against the death penalty.

I'm intrigued. Tell me more, why you're against.
@VineetHonkan Innocent people can be let out of jail but not coffins.
@indirect76 It does bother that this is a slippery slope topic. However, it equally bothers that the juvenille tried was tried as a fucking minor. Which means his rancid ass is back on the streets.
@VineetHonkan I don’t know much about the accused. The seriousness of the crime would make me think that charging a juvenille as an adult is appropriate, but without knowing more I can’t really say.
@OwlInASack I think it can be appropriate. Don’t get me wrong, I agree with you about minors having reduced culpability. It just depends on the particulars of each case.
@OwlInASack I’m no lawyer either. ?
It needs to be decided on a case by case basis because there is a gradient between childhood and adulthood. Just as there is a gradient in crime between jaywalking and murder.
If you’ve got a 12 year old stealing candy, that is someone I think deserves reduced culpability. A 17 year old that kills someone should maybe be tried as an adult.
And yes, this opens things up to allowing bias. It’s not perfect, but preferable IMHO.
@indirect76 since we're talking about juvies committing murder, why not the Arkansas boys from the mid 90s...remember that case? They were elementry age and committed murder. Tried as juvies, let out at 18...
...so tell me. What's your definition of justice?
@VineetHonkan I don’t know the Arkansas case. On the surface it seems like a clear case for reduced culpability.
@VineetHonkan Well, 13 & 11 aren’t elementary school age. Regardless it seems lenient to release them at 18. If I heard all the arguments in the court room, I’d be better equipped to have an informed opinion on it.
@indirect76 wrong again. 11 is 5th grade, and 13 is (if having to repeat 6th)...
@VineetHonkan My niece is 11 and in the 6th grade. I was 17 when I graduated 12th grade, making me 11 in my 6th grade. Let’s just say it’s at the border of grade & middle school. This is all besides the point anyhow.
@indirect76 ok. I'll agree with that, because there are kids who graduate a year earlier that the avg 18...
I cannot watch it. It's a true story about a horrific crime:

The interesting thing though about this series is that its not from either the victims' or criminals' side. It's from the police side.
