The Supreme Court has affirmed a life sentence for a woman convicted of killing her fiancé, while urging the Governor of Karnataka to consider granting her a pardon. The court described the case as one of "misjudged rebellion" and "romantic delusion," granting an eight-week period for the pardon request. In a related development, the court also allowed the use of a spouse's recorded calls as evidence. Separately, an American man who killed his father and displayed the severed head on YouTube was sentenced to life imprisonment. The court's decisions highlight complex issues surrounding criminal punishment and evidentiary standards.
