Hint: (a) denied justice
(b) punished for a crime she never committed
a. Open Court: Open Court means the case was contested in public view. This ensures that the trial is fair and no injustice is done to the accused.
b. Basis of Evidence: This means the judge decides whether the accused is the culprit or not only after examining all the evidence. A judge presumes that the accused is innocent. The judge never jumps to the conclusion that the accused is the culprit merely on the basis of circumstances.
c. Cross-examination of Prosecution Witnesses: This means the defence lawyer will call in the prosecution witnesses and cross examine them by questioning them. This allows him to understand whether there is any truth in the statements of the witnesses.
