    The direct questioning is allowed because they are "citizen judges", as taikan pointed out. They are not jurists like in the U.S., the rules are completely different. He did, however, lose his cool, and it is hard to believe that he will look at the evidence presented and come to a fair and logical verdict. He is probably a father with a daughter, and his emotions got the better of him.

    numbskull, we don't know if riding double caused the accident or not. Riding double on a scooter built for a single rider does affect steering and balance, so until more information comes out about the cause, it is worth mentioning. Your car analogy is moot, as cars are usually built for more than one rider.

    GMONEY7. drugs yes, orgies were never mentioned. If she's serious, great, bu with the SUN guy with her, it does look like a publicity stunt.

    Agree with other commentators, not enough detail. Sad about the girl, but if they were riding double on a moped made for one, it doesn't matter if the truck driver was at fault, they were wrong to do so. Stricter enforcement of ALL laws in Japan would be good, but then officers would have to put down their katsudon and go on patrol. I am joking of course, I know that there are a lot of hard-working police officers out there, but just walking around and seeing violation after violation on the roads, I get a little frustrated with the police.

    According to the Greek translation of the word, it means "lifting of the veil" or "revelation", which I guess some think will change the world we live in. The destruction of the world won't necessarily happen, but the world as we know it may cease to exist, bringing about a world of chirping little birdies, purring widdle puddy tats, etc., as Sarge suggested, or another scenario. The skies he limit, and until the unveiling, who knows what kind of world we will live in. I know, they'll unveil that cell phones actually do cause brain cancer, thus wiping out 90% of the population. (Just joking about that 'cause I don't have one. Yep, live in Japan and don't have a mobile phone, pretty incredible...)

    Wow, I never heard the name vuvuzela before this article. I guess there would be an argurement if other teams also protested, but if it's just Japan, deal with it guys.

    Well the daughter may have thought the windshield had been broken by someone. The police must have other evidence besides the windshield, like blood or hair on the car.

    The police are doing their best, they don't have a lot to go on right now. You can't expect them to find the killer(s) that quickly. That being said, kick it in high gear guys. If you need more people, bring them in from other prefectures.

    Again?!?! Hope they get the driver responsible. Could've at least stopped to get the guy unhooked from your car before speeding off, then he might still be alive.

    I hate to say this, but he is innocent until proven guilty, and if the prosecutor and the police don't get all of their ducks in a row, there is always a possibility that he may not be convicted of murder. There has been a lot of circumstantial evidence, but the judges have to rule on what the prosecution brings to trial. This is going to be an interesting case to follow, whenever it does go to trial that is.

    flatearther, her parents didn't live in the same prefecture as her. She was staying in the university dormitory. I'm sure if she would have asked someone there to walk her home, they would have. Then again, it could have been someone from the dormitory, or someone she knew that did this. Whatever the case may be, hope they catch the person or persons responsible.

    He will be getting a marubozu soon. I hope they don't let him die from malnutrition before the trial. I guess if he continues not eating they will have to give him IV nutrition. I also wonder when the trial will be, and if it will be with a jury or not.

    Good for Becky. She's probably one of the hardest working talents out there. Wonder if she is worried about the youtube sensation Becky who will soon make her debut in Japan. Her dance videos are real cute, but she can't speak Japanese, so maybe best smilist Becky won't be too worried.

    Steptoe! LOL! I will probably see this movie, as I kind of collect the multiple version of "A Christmas Carol", but I don't like this trend toward animating everything. It just seems that everything is getting animated these days, and while I'm at it, there are too many CGs being used in movies too. That being said, I am looking forward to the year-end movie rush. Every now and then there is a gem to be found.

    What is the name of this new sports shoe? Went to the Asics homepage, and couldn't figure out where to look.

    Monkey boy speaks! I am sure Windows 7 will work best for those who buy a new computer with it pre-installed. Upgraders are the ones who will have the headaches. Hopefully this will help Microsoft make a come back, after the Vista fiasco. I read that they just laid off about 5800 people, 800 more than they planned to. The Seattle-area can't afford another hit, after Boeing decided to make a plant in SC. I can see it now, Microsoft moves it's home office to India....

    Congrats to Matsui and the Yankees. Great game. Also, though I don't like him a whole lot, congrats to A-Rod for his first championship. So many of the Yanks Petitte, Jeter, Matsui, will be free agents, I wonder what kind of team they'll field next year.

    Good luck Mr. Brown, or as we called him in Hiroshima, Marty. It was fun while it lasted, and I hope you do well with Rakuten. You must like the color scheme. Nomura, the new coach of Hiroshima (No, not that Nomura), has already started practice to whip the Carp into shape. I think he may hail from Sparta. Hopefully the Carp will meet the Eagles in the Japan Series next year.

    It is news, it was on the news. Maybe they are trying to play it down because they don't want any copycats doing the same thing. I do wonder what kind of punishment, if any, will be involved.
