"suspicion of attempted murder after he stabbed a female nurse at a prefectural hospital" He wanted to make sure he got serious medical treatment.

Unemployed looking for a free bed and meals on tax payers account , I hope they did not give him suspended sentence and let him in the streets again.

Khulifi is right, this reject wanted to be taken care of as the weather turns colder

Considering this happened only two days ago, I think you can be assured that he hasn't received any sentence yet, suspended or otherwise.

It is in Ofunato. Maybe before you lock him up and throw away the keys you need to consider that first. Yes he should be treated by the court very sternly but jumping to assumptions about his motivations doesn't make you look very clever.

Good thing that your opinion of me doesn't matter in the least
