Snippet:
I was stabbed in a fight. I am worried since I cannot present, as a witness, the physician who examined me since he has been reassigned elsewhere. The investigating officers told me not to worry because the medical certificate is enough to prove that my wound was fatal and that it would support the filing of a grave offense.
