The judge observed that except for the petitioner...
Is the following paragraph correct?
The judge observed that except for the petitioner, no affidavit had been filed with the petition - not even the person who claimed to have photographed/prepared the video of the polling. There were hundreds of press-clippings/photographs appended with the petition but no affidavit had been placed on record.
I could have written it as:
The judge observed that except for the petitioner's, no other affidavit had been filed with the petition - not even the person's who claimed to have photographed/prepared the video of the polling. There were hundreds of press-clippings/photographs appended with the petition but no affidavit had been placed on record.
