    I guess way back in 2002 there was no such thing as a DNA test.

    14 teenagers? Seems to me a low-tech line up would have been quite effective.

    Line up? DNA test? No such thing as a 'fair trial' here in Nihon.

    12.5 million is way too low an amount for such a wrongful conviction. Get better lawyer.

    The guy should offer to pay 12.5 million yen to have the judge interrogated and locked away for almost three years. Somwehow I doubt the judge would take him up on the offer.

    No way he's getting anything close to 12.5 million. In an earlier article that figure was mentioned as the Maximum he could get. No court is going to argee that they were Completely at fault. Any bets that he gets closer to 2 million?
