The basically went on to say that the Indian public's bloodlust would only be assuaged by his death, so they rejected his appeal. I believe the exact quote was:

"The incident, which resulted in heavy casualties, had shaken the entire nation, and the collective conscience of the society will only be satisfied if capital punishment is awarded to the offender."

Talk about a kangaroo court system!
