President of India Shankar Dayal Sharma. However, in spite of so many witnesses being present that night nearly all witnesses, including Jessica’s fellow bartender, retracted their initial statements made to the police which again highlights the need for witness protection in India. While the issue was gaining heights, a policeman investigating the case reported to his superiors that Sharma’s family had colluded with some police officials and destroyed evidence.

found, the police and investigators looked into the case and the evidence eventually led to Wayne Williams. Williams still to this day claims that he is innocent, but the evidence says otherwise.

Doctors have a list of moral obligations to uphold towards patients, and colleagues.…
