JAIL or BAIL

Salman Khan has finally been sentenced to a year in jail, for killing a black buck in Rajasthan way back in 1998. While it is heartening to see a court decision involving a well known public figure, I am not sure whether the ruling would actually be withheld.

Would Salman khan actually go to jail and serve his sentence after the jodhpur court found him guilty after 8 long years, or would he appeal in high court and extend the court case for another long period or time. If still found guilty he could appeal in supreme court and extend the verdict till the case is completely forgotten. What is interesting is the only eye witness in this case, has been missing for the last two years, and all others accused along with Khan have been acquitted, so was khan the only guilty person among them, or has be been framed?

It is so ironic that the same person who was charged with running a car over human beings sleeping on the platform, has not been brought to law yet (for that charge), while for killing animals he finds himself in jail.

Lets wait and watch whether the ruling by the court prevails, or whether fame, name and money would win the case yet again.
