Lawyer groups in Japan have also been calling for reforms for many years. It's certainly a very big issue here.
The main issue I have with the system is the reliance on confessions. It's one of the reasons that Japan has such a ridiculously high conviction rate. Basically if they don't get a confession they rarely actually go to trial. Concepts like building a case on forensic evidence are practically unheard of in Japan. It can also destroy a prosecuters career if a verdict of not guilty is passed in court. The whole idea of going to court unless you are certain of a guilty verdict appears to be very risky for a prosecuter which is one of the reasons why confessions are so highly sought after. They get to hold you for 23 days and guilty or not they often get their confession from the accused during that time. Although physical torture generally doesn't occur, age old methods of torture like sleep deprevation are practiced. And what is truly amazing is that during interrogations you are not allowed to have your lawyer present and the interrorgations are not taped or filmed at all. So there are no witnesses whatsoever to whatever pshycological and emotional interrorgation techniques the police choose to use. The reliance on confessions also means that many guilty people are not prosecuted if they can last out the 23 days without signing anything. All in all it would have to be one of the worst legal systems remaining in the world today (at least for a modern democratic nation). |

I never said I knew about Japan either. I have never been there btw. I said that I Love their Asian culture and because Japan is the most intersting Asian country there is for me, I will go to Japan. Too hard to undertand? Well, Japanese girls are quite interesting to me yes. I also plan on falling inLove with one during my time yes. Otherwise whats the point in being there without sharing the most interesting relationship in your life so far? So no time for foreigner girls, sorry! I only need to be careful thats all. Thats why I am asking which girls I can woo and which I should be careful about. Cause mabye you do not know that.. but girls in Japan look very, very joung compared to Western. And it's pretty easy to end up having a 16 year old on your side. Every heard about the International age with Asians? Guess not.. |

my japanese friend is almost seventy but looks about forty.
mind you she hates men after she had a very unhappy arranged marriage. I think women need to be treated with courtesy and respect--not just used for their bodies. How can someone plan to fall in love? What is their real motive? Plus she has been fighting a Will for at least 15 years--who gets all the money? the lawyers. |

I will probably fall in Love with every Japanese girl there is. So it won't be too hard for me I'm guessing even the who choice won't be as though as normally^^ cause every Asian girl is a present from heaven. |
