Commonsense is starting to be applied in Japanese Courts, good on the Judges. Throwing her in prison for possession of a negligible amount of party drugs would no doubt have just hardened her, exposed her to more hardened criminals and probably harder drugs in prison.

Kudos to the Japanese Justice…

No doubt the US military guy was high as a kite on drugs or drunk as a skunk when he did the hit and run, which is why he didn't stop. The US need to get their personnel in order, instill some discipline somehow or they will be packing their…

In light of this and other cases, it will be interesting to see in Japanese Immigration makes things harder for foreigners to take their Japanese-born kids out of the country. Probably easier for them to enforce than signing the Hague Convention.

RIP to the young boy. I get the feeling some teachers will be sweating over the investigation and possibility of criminal charges.

Another sad story. No winners here. I hate to admit it, but kwatt is likely right : "International" marriages in Japan just don't work in the long run, you see so many divorces these days. Anyone got any stats on this? Add kids to the equation and things are even…

The scum that did this will strike again, no risk about that. Unless the J-Cops manage to catch him soon. Sadly, I have no faith in them being able to do that. I hope some leads will surface soon.

RIP to Miyako - this evil man has robbed your loved…

I agree knackerz. But I'm waiting for the bloggers to come on and call this an "outrage", "disgraceful" etc. I recall there were loads of people against this girl staying in Japan. I say good on the family - they will contribute far more to Japan than many people.
