Man... an entire lifetime lost because someone tortured a confession out of him. I admire his resilience... hoping for a positive outcome for so long.

I remember his case, even the detective who interrogate him finally confess that the evidence is fabricated, the one and only "evidence" is his confession, even that anyone who involved in this case agreed that he's getting tortured during interrogation.

I know America has a time served you can get if you refuse to confess for a crime and your sentence is spent before your trial is over... you do risk getting convicted though and repeating the sentence (depending on the judge); of course, we don't have one for the death penalty, last I checked, and those on death row tend to simply get executed after the gavel falls (last I checked). Its a shame he cannot get something like time served, but if he is guilty, I cannot imagine how they could prove it, and if he is innocent, I cannot imagine how they could begin to compensate the immense loss of his life due to the delayed justice system.

i think this is not the case here - justice was not delayed, he was found guilty after a trial soon after the murders. Its just that he was not executed.

Read the Wiki page on this. He's undergone DNA tests 3 times in 2008, 2011 and 2012. All 3 times, his dna did not match that of the killer's. The Jpn legal system must be the slowest in the world to exonerate s.o.

Japan’s justice system is just too harsh, it’s literally “Guilty until proven innocent”

@HardcoreMasterBaiter

Ай бұрын

In any justice system, you're guilty until proven innocent at some point during the prosecution process. In most western countries, you're deemed "guilty until proven innocent" after the court hands you the guilty verdict. In Japan, you're deemed "guilty until proven innocent" once enough evidence is available for the police to issue an arrest and carry it out. (In turn, the bar for issuing an arrest in Japan is fairly high and can't be reached simply with just "the accused seeming suspicious" by itself)

When he was charged with the crime, things were the same way in the United States. There are many people on life sentences and many have been executed based on false confessions because the police tortured suspects to make them confess. Even now police or the district attorneys will withhold evidence that will clear a person of the crime. They use qualified immunity to get away with their own crime of railroading innocent people.

Conviction rate. One of the main features of the Japanese criminal justice system well known in the rest of the world is its extremely high conviction rate, which exceeds 99%. SUSPICIOUS.

@gayusschwulius8490

24 күн бұрын

That's actually more due to how the prosecution works in Japan. It's the same for countries like Germany - contrary to Anglo American law, the prosecution is a (theoretically) neutral institution in Japan and is required to collect both evidence for and against the accused. It is also forced to drop the case whenever there's not a very high likelihood of the person getting convicted. So most cases where there isn't sufficient evidence against the accused are dropped way before an official trial ever begins. In the remaining cases that do make it to trial, there's indeed a very high conviction rate, but that's to be expected in this kind of system and isn't a problem per se. It's mostly a technicality as to *when* cases of wrong accusations are thrown out.

Japan has a "high conviction rate" because the police can keep anyone they suspect of the crime for any amount of time and keep interrogating them. They just renew the time over and over because judges allow it. So i wonder how many more are falsely accused but stuck in a failing system.

A reminder that high conviction rates aren't necessarily indicative of justice being served. They can still get it wrong.

Give him peace and compensation in his final years. Japanese justice is harsh.

These people love to make great efforts to keep the criminals well.

There should be law that no inmate shall spend on death row for more than 5 years.

If you think you may lose, you will likely get knocked down. You must overcome such weak mentality.

It's an interesting family affair, isn't it ?

Is it true that prosecutors have asked the death penalty again? Will he be executed or acquitted according to you?

Japanese have the longest lifespan. Maybe it's because of the sushi.

That long thinking you’re gonna die? Mmmmeh. Maybe he’s already served his life sentence? I’m not sure. I’ll have to look more into it before forming an opinion.

Sometimes governments just need someone to take the blame, a scapegoat, in order to provide an answer to outraged civilians.

This case should be closed. Just let him enjoy his remaining time as a free man. 47 years of incarceration is enough punishment for taking 4 lives even if he is really guilty of it. I think Jesus Christ will agree also.

In studying the Ace Attorney series knowing that prosecution attorneys would resort to unfair and potentially dishonest tactics in Japan's legal system is not surprising, especially going back to the 60s. Japan's justice system has evolved since but the sheer unfettered drive to make convictions stick in years past casts a long shadow, I imagine. I assume it's down to needing to maintain a reputation and face for Japanese prosecutors. To be successful in court carries a high standard and as such resorting to less-scrupulous means to reach such goals is ultimately encouraged as the cases become more prolific and public.
