A 35-year-old defendant, who was accused of attempting a murder-robbery, was charged with attacking a police officer with a police box at a police box in Suita City, Osaka, and the defense was ill. He pleaded not guilty for the effects that he may have been incapacitated.
Unemployed Yujiro Iimori (35), who lived in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo, attacked Suzunosuke Furuse (28) with a sword in front of the Senriyama police box in Suita City, Osaka, in June, and was temporarily unconscious. He has been accused of attempting robbery and murder and obstructing the execution of public affairs for injuring him and robbing his gun.
At the first trial held at the Osaka District Court on the 19th, Defendant Iimori said, "Maybe I did it, but honestly, I'm not sure."
Lawyers subsequently acquitted the defendant at the time of the incident, alleging that he may have been incapacitated due to the effects of schizophrenia.
On the other hand, the prosecution stated in the opening statement, "The defendant has taken rational actions flexibly, such as stealing a pistol and changing clothes to escape after the crime. There is an effect of mental illness. However, it has limited responsibility. "
In future trials, the witnesses of the psychiatrist who conducted the appraisal will be cross-examined, and the judgment will be handed down on the 10th of next month.
