And to the shock of absolutely fucking nobody…

If I can comment on capital punishment more widely, however, it’s barbaric. I think a long prison sentence would probably better do justice. Judicial killings have proven to be an ineffective deterrent to crime, and they remove the state’s moral high ground.

For what it’s worth, he’ll be suffering in his cell waiting for quite awhile until an unspecified execution date due to the Japanese death sentence system.

Yes, but I still think the death penalty is a tragic miscarriage of justice, in any case.
