Lead Counsel for Delara Darabi Files Official Objection to Sentence of Death

From the Legal Rights Institute:

Delara's lead counsel, Mr. Khormshahi has filed the official petition objecting to the issuance of death sentence to Delara Darabi.

According to Mr. Khormshai, in the last days of Supreme Court's current session, the proper legal filings were made. Khormshahi explained: "In the next few days, we should know which branch of the Court will be reviewing our motion and will rule on the motion to vacate Delara's death sentence."

Khormshai went on to explain that he is hopeful that this time 5 experienced judges will preside over the case and, based on clear and convincing evidence, they will vacate Delara's death sentence.
