Correct the English in the article, please. 

Are they third-year JUNIOR HIGH school students, or are they HIGH school students? The headline is different than the first paragraph, and then there is additional inconsistency in the rest of the piece.

There’s a typo the first time the article mentions the name of the “dessert.”

Coffee Gelatin Soda — Soba

Later in the article it fine, but the first mention has the mistake.

Moderator: Thank you. It has been corrected.

She certainly deserves a trial. I have read other articles that have made her seem more guilty. This is the first article that has made me question that. She was in the process of moving to japan, right? The article says the medication was hidden in a parcel labelled jewelry. But what if the medication was just kept in there at her home before moving to Japan. It is possible that someone would keep their strong medications away from family members by keeping in a jewelry box or something like that. She could have either not known about it or overlooked it and thought it wasn't a big deal. Both seem plausible and I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt since I wasn't there and can't read her mind. I would also like to think she is smarter than that. If she really wanted to smuggle illegal medication into Japan, I think she could have done it. A foreigner and a woman. I am sure she also has a lot of people rooting for her to fail.
