An article written by Sruthi Gotipati talks about the lawyers who are defending the 6 men who were accused of raping and killing a college student in a bus in New Delhi, India. One of the lawyers representing one of the accused, Manohar Lal Sharma, claimed that his client was tortured by the police and that his accusation was forced. Sharma said that he received a phone call from his client where he asked for help and said that he was being beaten. Sharma even goes on to say that the victim was responsible for the rape. He said that the victim had no business walking around the city at night. The other lawyers representing the suspects took a similar approach and presented their clients in a favorable light.
The author's purpose was to report about the incident and clarify why the lawyers choose to defend their clients.
Could include more details about the rhetorical devices. Needs to put the website source. Very interesting and good choice of words.
