Jurists Banned from Gang Rape Trial “For Hating Sex Crime”

[quote=Sankaku Complex]A court [url=http://www.sankakucomplex.com/goto/http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/national/news/20091125-OYT1T00641.htm]preparing to try four men[/url] for a brutal gang rape has attracted criticism for excluding half the candidates for jury duty for such reasons as the fact that they were thought to have a “harsh attitude to sex crimes,” in the end settling on an all-male panel of 9.
The Nara prefecture court was preparing to try four men aged 21-23 on charges of gang raping and injuring a woman in her twenties they dragged into a station wagon, in what prosecutors say was a well planned and organised attack, with the gang going so far as to prepare a change of vehicles and number plates.
The men admit the circumstances of the attack, but each claims “it wasn’t me.”
Shaping up to be more controversial than the crime itself are the circumstances surrounding the selection of lay judges, the Japanese equivalent to jurors.
Japan only recently introduced a jury-like court system, with “lay judges” being selected from the general populace in order to serve as adjuncts to professional judges, in a system which is supposed to bring something of the liberal tradition of jury trials to Japan, which has long operated a system which critics say conspires to virtually guarantee conviction.
In this case, the first in the prefecture to use the new system, courts considered 49 candidates, 10 of whom were released from the obligation for the usual reasons.
Of the remaining 39, public prosecutors and the defence eliminated another 20, with candidates being ruled out for being “unsuitable” on such grounds as the fact that they were “old and likely to have a harsh attitude to sex crimes committed by youngsters” or that they “had relatives who were victims of sex crimes.”
The defence in fact succeeded in eliminating 16 candidates on the grounds that their inclusion might prejudice the trial against the accused. The prosecution eliminated 4.
When the court finally agreed on who was to judge the case, it had 3 professional judges and 6 lay judges, all of whom were male.
The defendants, though not admitting all the charges, are offering their “heartfelt” apologies along with ¥5,000,000 in compensation to the victim if she will but let them off the hook – Japanese courts allow judges to issue lenient sentences if victims accept compensation from defendants. If convicted of all charges they likely face lengthy prison sentences.
Apparently this court is operating on the same school of jurisprudence as the one which declared that a mentally disabled woman was incapable of accusing a man of rape…[url=http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/09/30/rapist-gets-off-victim-too-stupid-to-accuse-him/]declared that a mentally disabled woman was incapable of accusing a man of rape…[/url][/quote]

Japan, the country where rape is looked upon with joy.
Well they got a point, would it be OK to put a jury consisting of KKK members if all of the rapists were black?
good, let the judge handle them
Those crazy Japanese folks... always trying to do things the hard way...
Well ofcourse, they have a bias. You can't let bias into the court room, even when they are ridiculous.

Thanks to japanese mindset, it was going to work like that anyway.
[QUOTE=Musicfreak59;18572621]Those crazy Japanese folks... always trying to do things the hard way...[/QUOTE]
um its actually easier having it under one person's decision for a pre-meditated rape case as opposed to letting 6-12 people debate about it
either way, these rapists are going to jail. why not get it over quicker, instead of waiting for the deliberating, etc.
[QUOTE=evilking1;18572611]Well they got a point, would it be OK to put a jury consisting of KKK members if all of the rapists were black?[/QUOTE]
I think the point is that it's pretty damn hard to find someone who is not strict on sex crimes.

that's pretty extreme. KKK is a cult.
Rape is illegal in Japan now?

man i've been lookin for this video, made me laugh so hard;
it was in japan, and there would be an innocent girl just sitting there looking in her bag or something, while someone very nearby was beating off behind a newspaper, and then they'd just come up and nut on their faces
fuckiing funniest shit ever
but i cant find it :Dawkins102:
They do this in any court with the jury.
To even be considered they can't know anything about it or be biased about it in anyway.
oh shit i found the video
GHAHAHHAHAH
Since you guys have no Japanese in you I will explain how this goes.
If a few guys need to get together and rape a single woman in order to prevent themselves from individually becoming violent and raping separate women then that is, I would say, socially acceptable. Doing a group rape means that any violent actions against the rapee will be scrutinized by the other rapers. Because of these plus sides to group raping a single woman, it is often understood that what happened was probably the best outcome of many that could have occurred, thus it is expected that the rapee will thank the rapists for using her to take out their frustrations instead of another woman, and go about her day.

So what, do they want people who think Sex Crime is good?

Yeah, not exactly hard to extrapolate that if they don't want people who are against rape, they want people who are...for rape?
[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;18575266]Yeah, not exactly hard to extrapolate that if they don't want people who are against rape, they want people who are...for rape?[/QUOTE]
They just want people who are neutral on rape.
