This is Saipan for you. Having spent years travelling to and working in Saipan I can attest to the Cha-morons rediculous court system. All these turkeys are related to each other and continually try to prove who has more power by over-ruling decisions made by the other.

I say keep Miura in suspense for as long as possible. I was in Japan when he did/didn't murder his wife and his total act (weeping, crying, anguish face) convinced everyone how dangerous Los Angeles and how pitiful he was. Well, everyone except the LA police who thought his story was fishy from the get-go.

he is a criminal and he killed his wife, why is he still in saipan? His ass should already be on death row in a maxium prision in alcatraz...

jimmystone,

A maximum prison maybe but Alcatraz isn't one anymore. Maybe San Quentin or CSP-LA. Plus, he has been convicted in the US of any crime yet so we must presume his innocence.

I'm betting the next thing you hear in the news is that this "Miura" guy vanishes without a trace....Saipan may very well be a U.S. territory, but the local tribesman still run that place....It's only a couple rungs down on the ladder from Guam in terms of status and infrastructure, as well as u.s. support... Those local cops, judges...etc... don't make a whole lot of money... He could bride the whole island for under twenty or thirty grand U.S. easily... make it look like he drowned or something....vanishes...

He's already set for the rest of his life...he'll hide out in Thailand for a few years until the heats off and quietly slip back into japan....

mindovermatter - "Saipan... It's only a couple rungs down on the ladder from Guam... He could bribe the whole island for under 20 or 30 grand easily"

Maybe 20 years ago. Not any more.

What I'm wondering is how Miura ended up on Saipan.

jimmystone - I am guessing that it's partly because Alcatraz is now a tourist destination.

mindovermatter - yeah, 30 grand just won't do it these days. Gotta make it 50 and then everyone's in your pocket!

kjunluc2:

He went there on holiday. I guess it slipped his mind that the CNMI (Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands) has a covenent with the United States under which they abide by U.S. Laws in exchange for citizenship.

Guam vs Saipan: Same family tree (should be family stick because there are no branches). The best line I heard on Saipan is that it is an island full of Ralph Cramdens - they all have get-rich-quick schemes. Sometimes two a day!
