What FACTLY found

In his book, Justice Khosla conveyed his unease regarding the death penalty as a concept. However, at no point did he mention that Godse is innocent, nor did he refer to Yamraj nor claim that he had sentenced an innocent patriot, nor did he mention that he imposed the death sentence under any influence from the government or administration

Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
