Don't be so bloody naive...of course they can! The Japanese courts refused evidence that proved his innocence. Even when the Belgian authorities insisted on providing further evidence to prove his innocence, the Japanese courts refused to accept it. They had made up their minds, especially in light of realising they had let the REAL drug dealer go already. So someone had to be punished. Nick had zero chance of proving his innocence. At the time of the hearings, everyone was aware of the prosecutor's utmost efforts to keep evidence OUT of the courtroom, because, as those of us who live here and are familiar with the court system know, prosecutors are like the Canadian Mounties - they ALWAYS get their man, even if he's innocent! They ensured they could get theirs, and they did.
And let's not forget, the Japanese guys that were a part of Prunier's deal were NEVER EVEN MENTIONED in court!

Sorry, but JT, this story is NOT NEW!
Nick Baker went back to the UK approximately six weeks ago.
Secondly, rjd_jr, you have ALWAYS, in the whole time this case has been reported on JT, had NOTHING good to say about Nick Baker and this case. YOU have judged him only on the stories you've read here on JT or in the Japan Times or Yomiuri Shimbun.
Nick Baker is innocent. As the Belgian authorities proved without any shadow of doubt, when the guy he was traveling with, was released without charge, by the Japanese authorities, who by the way, already KNEW he was a convicted drug smuggler, in Amsterdam with a stash of drugs, on his way home from....TA DA...JAPAN!!! Three weeks or so after his return to the UK, while awaiting trial in the Netherlands, he was found dead on railway tracks in the UK. Some say he killed himself out of guilt for what he did to Nick and his family, others say the mafia killed him for costing them money.
Now Nick is in a prison in the UK, has been there since April, and it is speculated that he will be released earlier than the Japanese authorities would like, because the UK system already proved his innocence.
Don't be so quick to judge, you are NOT a judge (thank God). You talk about reasonable person? Obviously sir, you do not live by your own words. Read the FULL FACTS about this case and not the crap you read in the tabloids. Then, and ONLY then, will you be in a position to judge. Also, I know Nick's mum personally...and not only did she lose her son for seven years due to this stupid system here in Japan, but she also lost her husband who died of a heart attack during all this. Have some compassion.
Nick Baker is back in the UK, has been for weeks. Why then JT, are you only now releasing this story, when it was in the UK media back in April?
