Sadly this does not say anything really as prisoners in Japan are essentially forced to admit their guilt. Go watch a documentary about, it will blow your mind.
While what you said is true, this case is rather different from your regular cases.
The killer was already prepared to face the law when he killed Abe for personal vengeance, not against Abe but the Unification Church. Killing Abe would send a strong message to not just the church, but more importantly to the public. But if he doesn’t admit his crimes, then there would be no message; he has to use his background for the message to come through. And he’s been pretty successful. Attention and criticism of the Unification Church intensified and there are now more people who call it as a cult, and politicians have distanced themselves from the church as well.
Interesting, thanks for the insight.
People see Japans conviction rate and think "that's amazing" before thinking about what would be required to be correct that consistently.
If you look at a 99.9% conviction rate and think "amazing" thinking isn't your strong suit.
The truth is still amazing¹
¹should've either waited to drop the bombs until dug-in soviet ground troops could see them or decapitated the state so bad there were no lumbar vertebrae left after world war two.
I mean they forced a total surrender, America could have done whatever it wanted, and MacArthur decided to leave all of the guilty in power because at least they hate commies.
Yeah. Like i said; decapitated the state so bad it didnt have ribs.
