No One Killed Jessica (NOKJ) is quite a good film that opened internationally last month on January 7th. As the story begins it is 1999. An aspiring model actress, Jessica Lal, is working as a bartender/waitress at a private party in one of Delhi’s most fashionable and trendy clubs. She is shot at point-blank range for refusing to serve a customer a drink after the bar had closed.
There were multiple eye witnesses to the shooting. The victim died in the ambulance en-route to the hospital. The shooter was the son of a MLA or a Member of the Legislative Assembly which is akin to our House of Representatives.
The police begin to collect evidence, and soon enough they have their man. They are also bribed to not beat a confession out of him.
Only the Delhi courts have an extreme backlog. By the time the trial begins, six years later, the ballistic evidence has been tampered with, the eye witnesses have been intimidated or bought off or both. The rest of the 300 folks who attended the party, who might have seen the gunmen leaving the club, all swore they weren’t sure, or that they hadn’t seen anything, or that they had already left the club at that time, or were in the bathrooms.
In short, the entire case went down the tubes. Insufficient evidence. Case dismissed. The shooter walked out of the courtroom a free man. The Delhi newspapers and the Indian national media outlets screamed their outrage in huge headlines: No One Killed Jessica!
The two main characters of this film, were the victim’s sister Sabrina played by Vidya Balan, and a tough-minded TV news anchor, Meera Gaity, played by Rani Mukherjee.
Not only was Sabrina dismayed at the result, but her mother passed away shortly after the trial concluded, and her father then suffered a stroke. The rest of the country was shocked and outraged at the miscarriage of justice.
But India may have been used to such things as police on the take, corrupt politicians, influence ped ALSO IN THIS ISSUE FLOWER CONFIDENTIAL TURNS 15 TERRA BELLA IS WHERE WE BLOOM FLORI COGNOSCENTi FOAM FREEDOM FLOWERS FROM THE HEART SPECIAL SECTION INDUSTRY INSIGHTS REPORT Copyright ©2022 by SLOW FLOWERS JOURNAL and BLOOM Imprint.

His artist name at his debut was Haruichi (ハルイチ), and he formed a band named No Score with his classmates at high school which later became Porno Graffitti. Originally he was the lead vocalist, but since Akihito Okano joined, he became the lead guitarist and provided backing vocals. He is also a guitarist for THE Yatou. He was married to actress Kyōko Hasegawa from 2008 to 2021, and they have two children together. Japanese flying ace of World War II and anti-war activist Kaname Harada (原田 要, 11 August 1916 – 3 May 2016) was a Japanese flying ace of World War II. He was credited with shooting down as many as 19 Allied aircraft between late 1941 and when he was himself downed in October 1942. After recovering from the injuries sustained in this incident, Harada served as a flying instructor for the remainder of the war. Following the end of hostilities in 1945, Harada worked as a farmer, before founding a nursery for children in 1965 and later a kindergarten. He became an anti-war activist in 1991 and remained a prominent speaker until late in his life. Harada was born in the village of Asajawa in Nagano Prefecture on 11 August 1916. After completing school, he joined the Imperial Japanese Navy's naval infantry force in 1933, aged 17. He later transferred to the Navy's aviation branch, and graduated first in the 35th pilot training class in February 1937. Harada was posted to China in October that year during the Second Sino-Japanese War, but was not involved in any aerial combat. While in China he witnessed Japanese military personnel indiscriminately killing Chinese civilians in the mistaken belief that they were soldiers in disguise. In December, he took part in the attack on the USS Panay, which led to increased tensions with the United States. Harada was sent back to Japan in January 1938, and subsequently served in several training positions. At the outbreak of the Pacific War, Harada was a Mitsubishi A6M Zero pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Sōryū, which formed part of the 1st Air Fleet. In this role, he took part in the 1st Air Fleet's series of operations during the initial months of the war. On 7 December 1941, he flew protective patrols over the fleet during the at Slow Flowers Journal SUMMER 2022 (FREE)
