Watching the TBS terrestrial Special News Feature "What will become of the retrial system reform?". The government's proposal doesn't improve the retrial system; it's a deterioration. Lawyer Yasuyuki Takai's opinion is biased towards the prosecution. Preventing wrongful convictions should be the priority. #retrialsystem #wrongfulconviction https://www.tbs.co.jp/houtoku/

The Allahabad High Court acquitted three men jailed for life for 38 years in a 1982 murder case, calling it a “blind murder” and citing serious lapses in evidence. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/after-38-years-in-jail-allahabad-hc-acquits-three-in-blind-murder-case-jf4w93oc?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #AllahabadHighCourt #BlindMurder #WrongfulConviction

He Was the World’s Longest-Held Death-Row Inmate. He Was Also Innocent. - The Atlantic (2024-11-18)

“Each day for 50 years, the Japanese boxer Iwao Hakamada [corr. Hakamata] woke up unsure whether it would be his last.”

“Hakamada spent longer on death row than anyone else in history, earning a spot in Guinness World Records.”

“In recent years, Hakamada, who is now 88, has become a symbol in Japan not just of wronged innocence but of what is known as hitojichi shiho, or ‘hostage justice.’ Police in Japan have the power to hold suspects and interrogate them for months without giving them access to a lawyer. The goal is to extract a confession…”

“There was no immediate decision on whether prosecutors would appeal against the verdict, which was reported by Kyodo news agency and other Japanese media outlets. Hakamada’s defence lawyers have urged prosecutors not to challenge the ruling, given his age.”

World's longest-serving death row inmate acquitted in Japan (BBC, 2024-09-26)
———

An 88-year-old man who is the world’s longest-serving death row inmate has been acquitted by a Japanese court.
Iwao Hakamada, who has been on death row for more than half a century, was found guilty in 1968 of killing his boss, the man’s wife and their two teenage children.
He was recently granted a retrial amid suspicions that investigators may have planted evidence that led to his conviction for quadruple murder.
The verdict brings to an end one of Japan's longest and most famous legal sagas.

Yesterday on the Big Island of Hawai'i Ian Schweitzer was #exonerated after 25 years in prison. Mr. Schwitzer was exonerated based on new DNA evidence, new tire tread evidence, and the refutation of junk science bite mark evidence. His original conviction was based largely on jailhouse informant testimony.
