Middle 1 man and woman murder case Canceled decision to withdraw appeal, Osaka High Court March 16, 19:03
Another presiding judge on the Osaka High Court's decision invalidating the defendant sentenced to death in the first instance in the case of the first grade junior high school student in Osaka's Neyagawa city five years ago Has been canceled. He ordered that the appeal be dismissed again.
Defendant Koji Yamada (49) immediately dropped the appeal after being sentenced to death by one court in 2015 for killing two first-year junior high school girls and boys in Neyagawa City.
Defendant's lawyer then filed a petition to invalidate the withdrawal, and Chief Justice Hiroaki Murayama of the Osaka High Court's Sixth Criminal Department said in December of last year, "The defendant was desperate. "I feel uncomfortable and deeply hesitant."
The Osaka High Prosecutor's Office filed an objection, and another presiding judge of the Osaka High Court was hearing the decision.
On the 16th, Justice Wada Makoto Judge of the First Criminal Division said, "It is not reasonable to say that" the withdrawal was done too carelessly "or" discomfort and hesitation ". It must be said that admission is beyond the scope of the law, "he revoked the decision invalidating the dismissal of the appeal.
He ordered that the sixth criminal office again hear the effect of Yamada's withdrawal of the appeal.
