In the trial of a 24-year-old defendant accused of attempted murder for stabbing a man with a knife and seriously injuring him in an apartment in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, the Tokyo High Court in the second trial acquitted him following the first trial, saying, "There is no error in the judgment that the man was stabbed and that there is no collusion."
Ryota Sakai (24), an unemployed man, was accused of attempted murder for attacking a man who was stabbed with a knife and seriously injured in an apartment in Adachi Ward in August with a man who received a request to kill him from the man's wife on SNS, but the Tokyo District Court in the first trial acquitted him as 'the defendant was not recognized as stabbing and collusion was not established,' and the prosecution appealed.
In the judgment of the second trial on the 31st, the presiding judge of the Tokyo High Court, Masaki Tamura, said, "The judgment of the first trial is a comprehensive judgment after fully considering the premise facts, and there is no error in the judgment that it is not recognized that the man was stabbed and that collusion cannot be established."
In this case, the wife of the victim man was sentenced to 2 years in prison in the first and second trials, appealed, and the Supreme Court decided to dismiss it, and the man who was charged with stabbing the man with the defendant was sentenced to 1 years in prison.
