11:32 am: Convict Vinay Sharma's mother pleaded mercy for her son, saying that he was just 19 at the time of crime. 'Even God gives one a second chance. The judge should give them a second chance to reform themselves.', she said. The lawyer of Vinay Sharma also banked on the same point, while arguing his case.

11:30am: The rape was brutal and one of the rarest of rare cases in the Indian judiciary. It could also be considered unnatural as the act of raping Nirbhaya and meting internal injuries to her were pre-planned. Nirbhaya and the male friend, accompanying her, were thrown out of the running bus and attempts were made to run it over them. Nirbhaya's clothes were torn apart and used for wiping the blood and the organs off the floor.

11:24 am: The Saket Court found the four convicts guilty on all 13 criminal counts earlier on Wednesday. The court based its judgement on the forensic and the circumstantial reports. The forensic reports included investigation of the blood sample, the semen sample and the dental structure of the convicts.

The prosecution has demanded capital punishment for the convicts, while the defence depends heavily on the mercy of the judge. Recalling the last few days of Nirbhaya, her mother says that she wanted these men to be burnt alive. Public on the other hand wants the judiciary to hand these men to them for the punishment.
