In the Jessica Lal case, raising a petition to the President for a retrial may not help as long as the eye-witnesses donot speak the truth.
The only way to get the eye-witnesses to speak the truth would be to mount pressure on them.
Newschannels and Newspapers can spearhead it by publishing names of the witnesses along with their photographs, occupation and address. They can also do the same for all those who were present at the scene of murder. Media should also highlight all the high-profile "connections" of the accused and shame the persons involved.
The public can then build pressure on the witnesses who turned hostile and appeal to their conscience.
Newschannels soliciting (yes, soliciting) SMSes only fill their coffers.

Never.Neither will the names be pulished. Nor will with the witnesses speak the truth. The rich will continue to be free. The poor and the rest of the world will suffer. These are interesting times u see. and when do u plan to call me?
Well said. I used to subscribe to he times here, and they hadn't mentioned one witness. But recently I saw a copy of the Indian express carrying a large photo of shayon munshi and his 'reversal of statement'.
Well...no wonder I'm happy about switching over to a more sensible and responsible newspaper!
