Final responsibility

Tsutomu Miyazaki, arrested for allegation of little girl abduction and murder, was hung to death on the 7th of June. He committed his crime in 1987, so it was long ago.

Yasuaki Uwabe sentenced to death finally at the supreme court. He killed 5 people at the local station in 1999. He will be hung sooner or later.

Both two are recognised as mentally insane or similar, yet court admitted that does not affect to their ability to be responsible.

Insanity won't be a reason for them to be acquitted.  I think this is the current in recent judiciary.

Automatisation of death penalty

Many inmates are waiting behind the death row, but their penalty has not been carried out yet. It's necessary to have the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution in each cases.

Also the Minister of Justice Kunio Hatoyama declared that there oughtn't to be any waiting for the permission of the Minister of Justice to carry out the execution.

He said death penalty automatically be carried out.

I think this is insightful.
