Nobody is able to remember doing anything bad in Japan. A very unique ability!

What you expect them to say? Who would willingly confess and want to go to prison? Everyone knows that the best thing to do when you get arrested is to deny everything until your lawyer arrive. As long you have been drinking and say you can't remember, even if they have concrete proof it's you, you still get a lighter sentence than you saying you clearly remember how it went down.

@didou Thank you for what I think was the most "LOGICAL" post.
Illegally entering the house was certainly part of the sentence. The fruits would have certainly perished otherwise
