More than that... he's gotten away with so many things... I wouldn't even have let him have the right to appeal to begin with...

Althought I would agree with you, but remember the justice system in Asia are not as harsh as USA or western countries. I had problem with the justice system in Japan and South Korea with being too light on crimes that are considered violent.

At some point, it stops being punishment and turns into little more than bloodthirst. I'd say it's far better to err on the side of brevity; if the goal of gaol's to keep dangerous people off the streets, you have to let them out while they can still change.

There are American people that did violent crimes but received shorter sentences. If this happened in America, he might have gotten a longer sentence.

Or, you can help him change. putting a criminal inside a lock room doesn't fix him. it just makes him more insane.

When I went to Japan for the first time with a tour group, the tour guide mentioned (as we passed the Ministry of Justice building) that there is no life imprisonment in Japan. However, criminals who commit the worst crimes are sentenced to death.

Life without parole always seemed crueller than execution to me, but it gets handed out like candy here. And then there's the "death sentences" that are never carried out(*cough*California*cough*), which are worse still.

Death penalty in Japan:
- Executions are carried out by hanging in a death chamber within the detention centre. When a death order has been issued, the condemned prisoner is informed in the morning of his/her execution. The condemned is given a choice of the last meal. The prisoner's family and legal representatives are not informed until afterwards.
