The lone surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks began a Supreme Court appeal against his death sentence on Tuesday by claiming that he had not been given a fair trial.

The 24-year-old Pakistani has appealed for his death penalty to be overturned after he was convicted in 2010 for a series of crimes, including waging war against India, murder and terror acts.

"I have been wrongly held guilty because I was denied a fair trial. I was denied a counsel," Kasab said in the statement read by his court-appointed lawyer Raju Ramachandran.

"The prosecution has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the charges against me... I may be guilty of killing people and carrying out a terrorist act but I am not guilty of waging war against the state."

5. Just a little bit of counseling

and therapy and he can again be a productive member of the society.
After all, he just "killed people"", no biggie.
