I do think on the first 3 levels bienash is extremely guilty . And I really hope she is questioned in the box and it doesn't go straight to sentencing.IMO -
I think that Batool will need to be cross-examined on 4 levels -
I do think that there is going to be a fair bit of guilt on her part on the first 3 levels and the 4th level will be come out as part of the cross examination.
- Her relationship with Sara - As a guardian, did she fulfill her duties or use her as a slave and child minder.
- Any and all evidence of her actually harming Sara (let's not forget the bite mark)
- Batool's failure to prevent harm to Sara.
- Contradictions between her testimony and evidence presented in court.
I'm really interested in malik being questioned by prosecution too and as bad as I sound would hate to not hear what he has to say .
I will say in a lot of big families usually the eldest daughter will be required to help out with the younger kids and prehaps help mother with chores this crosses all divides and all cultures. Sons may help too prehaps by watching younger kids or doing laundry or helping out with gardening duties while mother and daughter prepare dinner . This scenario in an old world view would I suppose be families being
inter-dependent on each other to pull their weight . Obviously this was not Sara's world .
I also think urfan ruled the roost and bienash did as she was told .
