99% conviction rate means nothing. The prosecutors know the law and don’t waste their time with cases that won’t end in a conviction. Prosecutors did not charge Gregory Gumo for murder, for this reason, even though it was obvious that he was guilty.

I don't like Culture Club much, but BG is a good singer/songwriter and they did some great songs. Time was particularly good.

It's not about how many minutes, it's about tampering with timecards

You'd have to be mad to believe that walking on hot coals will do anything other than burn your feet.

The police could have prevented the murder if they had arrested Couzens after he was reported for indecent exposure a couple of days before the murder. Obviously, they did nothing because it was one of their own.

Why not just split the ashes 3 ways and share them if they're that important

It is not regrettable that he's been arrested.

You must be joking

She died with corona vaccine.

"refusal of service at a business" - This is very humiliating. I've experienced this on numerous occasions whilst living in Japan.

So, he rapes an unknown woman because he had an argument with a woman at work. Why do J-criminals give such ridiculous excuses for their crimes.

Sounds like the wife wears the trousers in his gaff

If they said something 10 years ago, when it's alleged to have happened, I might have believed them. Either way, Manson rocks

Is it really necessary to have a story about this woman every day? I'm sick of hearing about her.

The trucker should've had his load secured.

I guarantee that this will end in non-prosecution or, at worst, a suspended sentence

No UK judge will ever give someone 10 years just for lying. Waste of time.

"These are foreign gangs committing these crimes. An important point the article negates to mention."

Yeah, only foreigners steal cars. The Japanese would never steal cars. If it weren't for foreigners, Japan wouldn't need prisons.

This nationalist clown is now complaining about nationalism in other countries. He's having laugh.

Well done, judge

The figures are meaningless if they include people who died in traffic accidents with covid.

Best to spread the money out over a few bank accounts if you don't trust banks. Or invest the money in something like land. Keeping even relatively small amounts of cash at home is a bad idea

I know many Filipinas and most of them only do hostessing part time to supplement the income from their day job. They are very hard working.

At least she has been convicted and will now have a criminal record.

More like WhatsApp backtracks after losing millions of subscribers

Hopefully we'll get another ¥100,000

Japan needs to give a sincere apology and compensate these rape victims properly or else this will never end.

I feel sick if I get the slightest whiff of a McDonalds. It certainly doesn't smell like food.

Looks like Ueno

It’s because their cars are so reliable.

Even if you keep a Toyota for 20 years you are unlikely to face any expensive repair bills.
