Alright then Ricki.

Explain to me what you like about Trump.

I’d honestly love to hear it.

The world will be a far worse and more dangerous place if Trump is re-elected.

No one should vote for this man, I seriously question the morals and standards of anyone who does.

Speak for yourself starpunk. I’m pretty sure most right-minded men don’t think like that.

GBR48,

This sounds like plain assault, there doesn’t seem to be a sexual element to it. Not from the facts described in the story, anyway.

MilesTag,

The point about “not remembering” and “being drunk” is usually used in a jokey way in comments by various posters on crime stories here.

Was funny the first time, about ten years ago.

Yes, we know. This point is made in the comment section about just about every crime story on this website.

I’m still puzzled as to why he was only sentenced to 7 years for a guilty of murder verdict.

Anyone know any details of the case and original trial?

What drug?

in Japan or Germany or somewhere else?

Two key pieces of information missing in this story.

@Eugene

I would refer to her as a “girl” or a “young lady” and not a “young thing”.

Pretty creepy expression.

Sounds like a potential serial sex offender/murderer.

I hope his punishment involves some kind of mental evaluation and rehabilitation.

How anyone of sound mind and good character could possibly vote for and support this man is completely beyond me. It defies all logic and reason.

Good, I’m pleased the Japanese electorate expressed their displeasure with the state of the country.

Sure, pay money and do time.

But you shouldn’t get reduced jail time because you pay money as well, otherwise you’re just telling rich people they can behave as they like and they’re above the law.

At US Reamer.

People shouldn’t be able to buy their way out of trouble through paying compensation like you suggest, however wealthy they are they should face serious jail time for a crime like this.

I hope I’m wrong but you can see a suspended sentence being handed down by his old judge friend.

Some folk here would hang people from “the gallows” for stealing a packet of biscuits Indigo.

Obviously this guy knows the game and knows that if he pleads guilty and shows remorse he will receive a much lighter sentence.

Which is BS.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of sentence he gets.

I bet it’s ridiculously lenient.

In any case, this story is clearly not an example of a crime that will be punished by the death penalty.

I’m puzzled at least two posters here think it is.

That’s their choice though Mountainpear.

No one is encouraging them to do it and no one is recommending they avoid crowded places.

As far as I’m aware, anyway.

@aptly named Fighto!

I’ve never been in a fight in my life and don’t intend to start now.

However, for argument’s sake; say someone attacks me, I defend myself by fighting back and he goes down and hits his head and later dies.

I’m then in the frame for murder and the death penalty.

I don’t want to live in a country like that

Maybe Tokyoliving and Seigi do.

I would also ask the question, do you want to live in a country where you could be sentenced to death for someone dying as a result of a street fight you are involved in?

You death penalty guys just don’t understand how and when it is applied.

So tiresome to continually read here.

You would think being such advocates of it, you would actually understand its application but evidently not.

Carpslidy, most people aren’t wearing masks now and no one is being asked to wear them so settle down.

It's 2024 now, not 2020.

Gutsy or foolhardy for the manager to challenge a man armed with a knife who has just stabbed someone.

Personally, I wouldn’t. That’s the job of the police.
