海外の反応-元首相安倍晋三氏を銃撃した犯人に無期懲役

Shooter of ex-PM Abe sentenced to life in prison

It looks like nowadays on average it require 35+ years to get parole in Japan for life sentence,
given the fact the maximum term for a fixed-term sentence in Japan is 30 years in cases of concurrent sentences,
life sentence shouldn’t be shorter than that so this is reasonable.

Is it partially because of what came after?
There was massive backlash about the cult that Abe was involved with and I feel like his circumstances definitely played into him not getting the death penalty in some way.

海外のナナシさん

No. He just doesn’t meet the criteria for death penalty.
His punishment is already extremely severe.

海外のナナシさん

What would be the distinction between this and a death penalty case?

海外のナナシさん

In Japan, you usually only get the death penalty for two crimes:

-killing 2 or more people.

-killing 1 person while commiting rape and/or robbery.

海外のナナシさん

I already commented but in Japan someone who doesn’t have criminal record who killed 1 person rarely got death sentence.

海外のナナシさん

It seems like the sentence is a little strict.
I thought that the circumstances that led him to murder Abe would moderate the punishment to some extent,
given that society reacted strongly to curb the cult’s activities.
Does Yamagami have any opportunities to appeal the sentence or the verdict?

海外のナナシさん

Can you argue shooting Abe in the back is not Murder by its very definition?
No.

海外のナナシさん

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the defense made that case,
but I suspect that argument wouldn’t really work unless his victim was a member of the cult’s leadership,
which Abe wasn’t.

And, even then, the likely verdict would be that,
while the cult’s actions were wrong, so were Yamagami’s,
with full legal penalties applying.

海外のナナシさん

Probably the most fair verdict I think.
There are alot of people sympathetic to him but at the same time there are people who dont want to encourage political assassinations

Im also curious on how the luigi mangione verdict will play out too since thats happening in a very different legal environment with a pretty similar crime

海外のナナシさん

there are people who dont want to encourage political assassinations

Given the fact after this incident there were also guy threw bomb at Mr.Kishida (PM at that time), it might be a case.

海外のナナシさん

His lawyers wanted 20 years prison, police life sentences.
Court usually rules after police.

For me personally, I think he needs therapy.
My hope was 20-30 years plus compulsory therapy

海外のナナシさん

Why would he need therapy?
He saw a cult tear his family apart and he blamed powerful politicians for abetting the group.
Not really much to pull apart there.
