    Leitmotiv:

    But what if there was some significant ambiguity about the case against an "unrepentant mass murder"? Perhaps one of the infamous "confessions" under dubious circumstances from the Japanese police as the key evidence? Would you still be screaming for the death penalty?

    The hypothetical questions you pose about Miyazaki…

    **Cleo: **

    Miyazaki maintained his innocence and said he thinks he ‘‘did a good thing.’’ Throughout his trial, he did not apologize to the victims or their families.

    The man showed absolutely no remorse for his actions. You may believe that "the death penalty is nothing more than murder by…

    sarcasm: If ppayne is the real Peter Payne who runs J-List, you should be more interested in getting advice from him about how to be successful in Japan, instead of ridiculing the man.
