The death penalty

HI, ladies!!

Alice, your story on the Swiss Alps was so impressive that I tried to imagine those breathtaking sceneries. We’d like to see and feel where Plum has already reached, wouldn’t we??

Today’s news/
The Supreme Court upheld the death penalty handed down by lower courts on Masumi Hayashi, dismissing her not-guilty appeal.

Causing indiscriminate mass casualties by lacing food with poison was extremely malicious, contemptible and cruel. The court had no choice but to accept a death sentence because the incident had a great impact on society.
A key issue was the weight given to circumstantial evidence.

…It’s also a controversial issue. If I were the position of a judge, or of a victim’s family member, what could I do?

Well, see you later, bye!
