Hi Blog. \u00a0Very simple thought about this: \u00a0That was quick! \u00a0 Two days into the new system, and two\u00a0of the first thirteen indictments are foreign? \u00a0That works out to a fifteen percent NJ crime rate. \u00a0Comments? \u00a0Mine are here, regarding the system before the lay jurors came about<\/a>. \u00a0Debito in Sapporo<\/p>\n

TOKYO \u2014<\/p>\n

Prosecutors nationwide indicted on Friday nine criminal suspects, including two murder suspects, to be tried under the newly introduced lay jury system, bringing the total number of such cases to 13. A day after the introduction of the system, the two murder suspects were indicted by Tokyo and Fukuoka prosecutors. Suspects in other serious crimes such as robbery resulting in injuries or attempted arson were indicted the previous day, but murder suspects were not included.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/strong>Also included in the 13 cases were a 21-year-old male university student of Mexican nationality and a 29-year-old female office worker of Canadian nationality, who were both indicted by Chiba prosecutors over drug smuggling. Lay jury trials for the 13 cases can begin as early as late July if each case has little to argue over and its pretrial agreement procedures end swiftly. Under the lay jury system that kicked off Thursday, jurors will engage in the process of determining the verdict, and in the case of a guilty verdict, what kind of sentence the person should be given.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
