Ex-comic magazine editor gets 11-year prison term for killing wife

It would be nice if these JT crime-related articles would include more detail. For instance, what evidence did the prosecutors present to prove it was murder, as opposed to the defendant's claim of suicide? What did police find at the crime scene, etc?

That sort of detail is normal in crime-related news stories in Western media. Is it forbidden in Japan due to privacy laws? JP media do have a habit of being overly protective of identities in CCTV and web video. So, it wouldn't surprise if the same applied to details in court proceedings.

If he is innocent, it would be terrible. Wife lost, carrer destroyed and a large part of his life in prison.

If he is guilty, then it is way to short of a sentence. What are they not telling us here? Or is it just another case of family on family murders not being taken seriously?

ANOTHER murder that gets a pittance of a sentence. I really Don't understand how these judges value human lives, because it seems they have no values at all.

Japan is way too soft on major crime, that's not a punishment that's a minor inconvenience
