[Breaking News] The Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court has sentenced the leader of the group that perpetrated the “Luffy Incident” in Komae, Tokyo (23) to life imprisonment.
On the 7th, the Tachikawa branch of the Tokyo District Court sentenced Rikuto Nagata (23), the leader of a series of robberies led by the mastermind “Luffy,” to life imprisonment. Nagata was indicted for six of the crimes, including one that left a 90-year-old woman dead in Komae, Tokyo. In previous trials, the prosecution had sought a life sentence for Nagata, stating that “his motive for joining the crime group for the sake of large sums of money was selfish and greedy,” and that “the crime of assaulting an elderly woman who was unable to resist was brutal and extremely vicious.” In response, the defense argued that a fixed term of imprisonment was appropriate, stating that “the mastermind’s commander should be blamed” and that “he has shown deep remorse.”
Japan really is a country that is lenient towards criminals. I think the lack of distinction in this area is the reason why Korea and China are lagging behind in national power lol.
This means that even if you kill someone during an illegal robbery, you won’t get the death penalty. If you don’t kill someone, you’ll get a fixed term in prison.
He appealed for remorse and regret, saying “Give me the death penalty!” and was aiming for a fixed term, but he got life imprisonment instead. Congratulations on that lol.
I thought the sentence would be reduced to 30 years because he was the one who only followed orders, but with this much coverage, I guess the jurors will go along with the sentence requested.
If he’d given orders to attack 893 or a semi-gang office, he’d still have been sentenced to a fixed term, but he shouldn’t have been allowed to attack old people. He’ll definitely end up in jail.
On average, if you’re sentenced to life you can be released on parole after about 40 years. And the chances of being released on parole are only a few percent. It must be tough to stay in prison almost until you die.
>>49 It’s now effectively treated as a life sentence. Well, even if you’re paroled, you’re only released, and the parole state lasts for the rest of your life. So in that sense, even if you’re released, it’s still a life sentence.
He’s been involved in many crimes but only one has died, so I think life imprisonment would be tougher now that the death penalty has become a dead letter.
