Acceptance of the judgment of the disabled person's death case ... March 16 21:47

The Yokohama District Court has sentenced Uematsu to the death penalty in a trial of the case of disability in Sagamihara. Many accepted the ruling indivisibly.

Victim survivor "I think it's poor"

A 60-year-old woman's younger brother who was sacrificed in the case and was called "Mr. Ko E" in court responded to the interview after the judgment, "I wanted the defendant to say that he made a mistake in court, but it was hard to the end I haven't changed my mind, so I don't have anything to say anymore. "

On the other hand, he said, "I think the defendant was young and thought that he was disappointed and passed his assertion, but it would be a pity that his life would end because of that."

After that, "The time has gradually calmed down since the incident, but each time I talk, I return to the day of the incident. I can not forget the last sister's face I saw. It may be weathered, but we want people with disabilities and socially vulnerable to live with peace of mind in the event. "

Injured staff "Do not stop asking questions"

A female employee, called "Hei B" in court and detained and injured by the defendant in the case, commented through a lawyer after the trial.

"In the end, defendants did not have a sincere apology to the deceased or the injured. Until the very end, defendants never changed their minds when asked from various perspectives. I hope the defendant will notice the repeated blasphemy of the victims and consider an apology. "

He added, "This decision has brought us a break in the court, but we have no question. We have been able to reach out to more and more people through this case. I sincerely hope that we can become a society where we can serve. "

Takimoto: "I wanted the presiding judge to say," It's a wrong idea. "

Taro Takimoto, a lawyer for the mother and brother of 19-year-old Miho, who was killed in the case, had a press conference after the ruling.

Mr. Takimoto once helped believers withdraw from Aum Shinrikyo, and he has also been attacked by believers. Takimoto said, "There are only 20 sentences, and he does not clearly state that the case is a" hate crime "or" terrorism crime. " I'm dissatisfied. "

He also argued that Uematsu sought to speak after the court closed, "I guess he might have wanted to ask the presiding judge what he thoughts about his thoughts." I wanted the presiding judge to say that his thinking was wrong. "

Regarding Miho's mother who heard the sentence, she said, `` I seemed relieved that today was the end, but I do not want this trial to be an easy one to discuss only responsibility and sentencing. I asked myself to have a trial with a certain judgment, so it was not reflected in the judgment sentence, and it seemed that I felt unsatisfactory, "What is a judgment like a judgment?" "

Director "The defendant has become a completely different figure"

Kaoru Irikura, director of Tsukui Yamayuri Garden, attended a press conference after hearing the trial and commented on the death penalty. That's what I mean. "

After that, `` In the judgment, the presiding judge talked about the movement on the day of the case, and the appearance of the building at that time, what kind of scene it was, everything was in my head and it was really painful to listen to it. '' I sometimes talked with tears.

He also told Uematsu, "I was hearing the judgment while thinking that the person who worked together, but looked at the court, looked very different, like a very distant entity. I want them to think and live in their own place, rather than show them what they did until just before. "

Narita: "Continue thinking"

Swimming swimmer Mayumi Narita, who has won 15 gold medals at the Paralympic Games, the most in Japan, said in an interview with NHK, "The defendant's claim that he does not need a disabled person is very disappointing and angry. I thought that there were problems not only in the defendant but also in the environment and society surrounding the defendant, so I wanted to know what changed him, but in the end he did not know much. And I don't think this is the end, and it's a very complicated thought for myself. "

Five days after the incident, Narita, who had a disability on both feet, visited the site to celebrate the flowers and pay attention to the victims, while also serving as a board member of the Tokyo Games Organizing Committee and still turning 49 at the Tokyo Paralympic Games. We are continuing to strengthen our aim for participation.

Narita commented on the Tokyo Paralympics: "I think it's great for many people to see and feel the best performing Paralympic games by taking full advantage of the remaining features. I'm grateful to be able to swim because I can't, but I'd like to keep thinking about what I can do to keep anyone from thinking like a defendant. "

Members of the Reiwa Shinsengumi

Two members of the upper house of the Reiwa Shinsengumi with severe disabilities commented and commented that Eiko Kimura said, "If the situation where severely disabled people only have access to facilities is not improved, the second and third Uematsu defendants will be born. " He further stated that "it cannot be considered as the cause of the cruel case caused by the disability of people with disabilities and healthy people living in the same society," and aims to realize a society where people with and without disabilities can live together. You.

"Judging the defendant's crimes alone does not solve the problem of discrimination against persons with disabilities. What can we do to create a society that places no order on the value of life and excludes anyone?" I want to think with everyone. "
