20 16 July, a murder occurred in a welfare home for the disabled in Japan. A 26-year-old former employee, Zhi Songsheng, sneaked into the welfare home in the early morning and killed 19 disabled people with a dagger and hammer. Twenty-six people were injured and the case shocked Japanese society. The Japanese national police called this the most serious case since 1989, and Shangsong was described by Japan as the biggest killer after World War II. On the 8th, Uematsu accepted the first public trial in Yokohama District Court, Japan. This case has aroused widespread concern in Japan. When the incident happened, whether the murderer should bear criminal responsibility became the focus of debate.
According to the Nikkei Business News reported on the 8th, because the number of people wishing to attend the trial exceeded expectations, a total of *** 1944 people applied for 26 seats in the gallery, and the trial was originally scheduled to start at 6: 48 +0 local time. The time was delayed by about 25 minutes. Defendant Zhi Songsheng was wearing a black suit and a blue tie, and his back hair was tied behind his head. When entering the court, Uematsu bowed and quickly answered the questions of the court. When the presiding judge asked if there was any doubt about the contents of the indictment, Uematsu said softly? No? . Uematsu's lawyer argued that Uematsu was convicted of mental illness and smoking marijuana when he was murdered in an orphanage.
He is mentally retarded and lacks the ability to distinguish right from wrong. The prosecution believes that Uematsu was in a normal psychological range when he committed the crime, and the influence of marijuana only strengthened his determination to kill and extended the time of committing the crime. Is Uematsu, who committed a crime after smoking marijuana, criminally responsible for the trial of the whole case? When it was Uematsu's turn to speak, he suddenly said, I feel sorry for everyone, and then began to violently twitch and shake his body, accompanied by suspicious tongue bites, finger bites and neck injuries. Several bailiffs immediately came forward to subdue him until he was pinned to the ground. This scene caused a commotion at the scene, and the court announced a temporary recess on the grounds of the defendant's abnormal behavior. The trial resumed on 1: 15 local time, and Uematsu did not attend. It is reported that the court will announce the verdict on March 16. Uematsu faces six charges, including murder. If convicted, Uematsu may face the death penalty.
