Defendant Uematsu "Death Penalty Can't Be Appealed" Appeals on March 17 at 15:08
Defendant Seiji Uematsu, sentenced to death on Tuesday on charges of killing 19 residents at an intellectually disabled facility in Sagamihara City, responded to an NHK reporter's interview and said, "I can't help finding out. I don't appeal. "
Defendant Uematsu (30) was sentenced to death in the Yokohama District Court on March 16 in charge of killing 19 residents at a facility for the intellectually disabled in Sagamihara City in 2016.
Defendant said in an interview with a NHK reporter at the Yokohama Detention Center on Tuesday that he was sentenced to death, "I can't help it.
He also said about the appeal: "The lawyer had said before the ruling that he would appeal if he had a serious judgment, but he does not appeal because he thinks the case has already been answered. I'm sorry that the exchange of letters and letters will not be possible as before, but I would like to withdraw even if the lawyer appealed. "
Also, after being sentenced to death in court on the 16th, she asked, "I'm sorry. I finally asked for just one." I wanted to tell you that marijuana is needed to get closer to world peace. "
The defendant had repeatedly discriminatoryly asserted in his interview on the 17th that "disabled persons have no human rights."
