This dude was selling Pokemans with modified move sets for up to $80 a pop and could now face up to 5 years in prison.
Is this not insane? Or do you think he could face a much less severe sentence and the 5 years prison and $30k just the upper limit for this particular set of crime?
That always happens in Japan, where the suspects aren’t named in police reports to the media. Tetsuya Yamagami’s name wasn’t known for a few days after the assassination if I remember right (guy who shot Shinzo Abe). The person who set fire to KyoAni is still unknown. I was once told it had something to do with how japanese law enforcement will send cops to tail criminals for a while after the crime, but I have no idea. I don’t know the specifics.
I’m pretty sure they named the KyoAni guy, he’s getting the death penalty I think
Oh, you’re right. His name is Shinji Aoba. Everything I read about him suggests he’s incredibly depressed and mentally ill. He’s a murderer but he’s clearly not in his right mind, so the death penalty seems overwhelmingly harsh.
