Kawasaki retirement home for three people killed In the second trial, the defense allegedly acquitted December 20, 16:21
Five years ago, the trial of the 2nd trial of the former staff who was sentenced to death by the first trial was begun, charged with the crime of killing three elderly residents from the veranda in a nursing home in Kawasaki City. He once again innocently insisted that there was no objective evidence and that there was a question about the voluntary nature of the confession.
Five years ago, three residents in their 80s and 90s fell from the veranda of the building and died at a nursing home in Saiwai-ku, Kawasaki City. He is charged with guilty of falling and killing.
In the first trial, the defendant and the lawyer allegedly innocent, but in March last year, the Yokohama District Court sentenced the death penalty as requested, and the lawyer appealed.
The trial of the second trial started on the 20th at the Tokyo High Court, and the defendant's lawyer said, “The confession of the defendant at the investigation stage remains a question about voluntaryness and credibility. DNA and fingerprints that prove that the defendant is a criminal. There was no objective proof of that. "
In addition, in the future, we decided to have an expert analyze the video shot of the defendant's confession during the investigation and submit it as evidence.
On the other hand, the prosecution argued that "there is no illegal investigation and it is clear that the defendant is a criminal" and asked to dismiss the appeal.
