A lady such as this did not deserve to have her life snuffed out in such a violent and evil way. I pray they will catch this killer and hang him.

May she rest in peace.

It's good that this is coming into being, but let's hope that they have a good mix of people in juries, and not simply old folks with a blatant 'hang 'em by their toenails' attitude.

Also, let's hope too that in cases involving foreigners, juries won't convict merely because it…

evil robot:

I can't believe you all scolding this woman! Children are constantly being neglected, left alone with guns, knives, in SUVs parked miles away from the grocery store entrance to boil, all kinds of crazy stuff. It's amazing that this even makes national news here. This is nothing new…

It makes me sick to hear this kind of story. Irresponsible and stupid - a typical mix for many here in Japan. I hope that child rests in peace. The mother should be given a jail term for negligence resulting in manslaughter.

As for pachinko parlours, the less there are…

Always a smart idea to build so many nuclear reactors in the most earthquake prone country in the world, don'tcha think!!

Meant to add: just take a look at most of the trucks you see on the roads here in Japan that are more than five years old. Nearly all of them running with worn or bald tyres! Who pays for tyres? The company, not the driver.

A few years ago,…

This sheister, the "60-year-old executive of the disposal firm", is pointing the finger of blame at the truck driver, instead of being a man and accepting responsibility for not keeping the firms equipment in proper order. Truck drivers are not mechanics and it is NOT their responsibility to ensure that…

DarkWolf - I suggest you read up on Japan a bit more before making such comments. The Japanese legal system is a farce, although they are making efforts to improve it, slowly but surely. As for the death sentence - Let the punishment fit the crime I say. The only…
