A new law came into force from May 21, 2009. It 'a law of the legal system. However, it is different from the legal system of Western civilization that exists or existed. With regard to that of Western civilization, only the jurors, however, citizens judge cases by the judge of this system in Japan, six jurors citizens judge with 3 judges the criminal case. Jurors are selected citizens with a random sampling method among people who have the right to vote. Basically you can not refuse if it was scelezionato. On 3 August, the first trial was discussed trubunale of Tokyo, and on August 6 the proceedings ended. The sentence was pronounced. They condemned the accused who killed a woman in 15 years' imprisonment. Since I have the right to vote in Japan, I have the chance of being selected as a juror citizen. I think it is easy to assume a heavy responsibility to judge someone, to make the award to citizens not lawyers. Since Japan is the death penalty as you know - but I would not talk about any topic of the existence of the death penalty in Japan right now, so do not leave a comment on this discussion please - if there was a condition that meets the requirements for the death penalty, we citizens must order the defendant to death. I do not know if we can accept this heavy responsibility. About

Updated on January 1, 2005. May have changed.
The translation may contain errors. We accept no responsibility.
If we were to find themselves having to judge these crimes we should think well about what is right or wrong. In the past, until August 3 only the judges have judged the defendants, but the new law with the thoughts of the people are added to the sentence. I think that becomes more severe.
