Gotta love you Japan lovers. If this report from Amnesty was about the U.S. base at Gitmo or Abu Graff and about abuse of prisoners there, you'd be railing on about how bad the U.S. is. But, since this is just critical of Japan, its all just a bunch…

Let's hope the compensation he has to pay to the poor girl amounts to the equivalent of several million crow's feet.

let's hope not. that might encourage this inept hunter to go hunting more to make up for it.

over 3 posters are making fun of the cops for claiming he had a definite intent to kill after 60 stab wounds were counted. I'll have you know that most people will easily survive 59 stab wounds, so it took the last stab to make it a "definite intent" capisce?…

I find it ironic that a man capable who killing his wife with a wrench and strangling his own defenseless toddler with his bare hands would be posing with a peace sign. and even more ironic that police would use that same image for their nationwide wanted poster.

Agreed with all but "directly caused". In fact, the kids drown. They were not killed by the impact.

here we go again. likeitis, with all due respect (because I usually agree with your posts) your persistence is just remarkable. the fact is so simple that it is mind-boggling someone…

probably not much. as for the case, was killing in replisal to the rejection really the only way? didn't that demented freak ever hear about robbing?

at the prosecutor's request? two reasons for that, either it wasn't the same prosecutor as in the first case or he was truly unaware of the "subjective evidence" in favor of the accused.

hopefully it's the latter. if this prosecutor is as decent as I think he is, he'll open…

Don't even bother, suspended sentence. Who would prosecute the prosecutor anyway, his coworkers?

if it wasn't in the jurisdiction where he works, his co-workers won't have to. and besides "his" office could always call in someone from the outside with no previous contact with this pervert.

He was on…

gotta love the irony.

Not trying to imagine the smell! My stomach would have revolted the moment I'd see the corpses!

then I'd recommend you change your profession and/or your nickname. :-)

If I am correct this has to be the ninth report this month alone. Yes I'm…

not too bright. even without the fingerprinting if he had the same passport they'd have caught him.
