One last chance to act like a hero to his few remaining followers. Expect a rambling defense full of political speeches, a bit like Saddams. But the ghosts of his thousands of innocent victims will be waiting for him at the gallows.

Do people believe being stressed at work excuse their bad behavior? Do they expect sympathy? What about the millions of other workers here in Japan who are stressed, but don't stab people, expose themselves, or beat their classmates to death?

I wonder if she knew about it before it happened. I would have quit too. I bet she wants to prove she can succeed without her father's influence.

The story says her parents had "urged her to study". It doesn't say anything about abuse. The girl was over-stressed by her parents. I disagree that there is no need for her to go to prison. There has to be a consequence for such a serious crime. What happens next…
