An interesting article on the Japan media and Japan's handling of crime. The case is of a 22 year old Filipina woman, Honiefaith Ratilla Kamiosawa. An important read for anyone!

I've come to have a very different idea of what the "news" should be. In my opinion, news should serve the public, not promote their sponsors or scare the shit out of us. If the murderer were still at large, as in the case of Ichihashi Tatsuya, then there would be reason to inform the public. In this case, though, they've already got the guy.

Of course, it's wishful thinking on my part for the news to be no more than a series of public service announcements.

Hm, disagree. There was plenty of coverage on the wideshows. Let's not red too much Debito, shall we?

"Why isn’t it getting more press? Why is it that the life of a Filipino is deemed to be so worthless?"

This was a top story on almost every Japanese TV channel's news.

Japan's justice system leave something to be desired...
This guy was in jail for a similar crime (but not charged with murder) and they may not charge him with murder again?
Can't they look for more physical evidence?

They just seem incompetent to deal with this type of crime, as in Joji Obara (Lucie Blackman's murderer) and Lindsay hawker's alleged murderer on the run (who escaped several police officer's at his home)
