852 01:02:39,615 --> 01:02:43,608 That photograph was taken to reenact the standing positions, 853 01:02:44,053 --> 01:02:46,419 so I was not worried about the height difference. 854 01:02:47,290 --> 01:02:49,884 The victim said he was carrying a bag in his left hand, 855 01:02:49,992 --> 01:02:53,155 and was pulling on his jacket with his right hand at the moment. 856 01:02:53,262 --> 01:02:57,062 What didn't you let him carry a bag for this reenactment?

875 01:04:08,371 --> 01:04:11,465 For example, extracting the sample of debris from the defendant's hand, 876 01:04:11,574 --> 01:04:14,543 and check to see whether or not they match the fibers of the victim's underwear? 877 01:04:17,013 --> 01:04:19,948 I was busy... and it slipped my mind. 878 01:04:20,182 --> 01:04:22,343 What do you mean it slipped your mind?! 879 01:04:22,551 --> 01:04:25,019 The defendant's life is at stake! 880 01:04:26,889 --> 01:04:28,880 I usually take the sample, 881 01:04:29,091 --> 01:04:31,719 but I don't really remember why I didn't. 882 01:04:32,495 --> 01:04:34,588 There are so many similar cases. 883 01:04:34,997 --> 01:04:38,398 You were in a position where you had to get proofs for the accusation, 884 01:04:38,501 --> 01:04:40,662 yet you did not even try to search for an objective proof. 885 01:04:40,770 --> 01:04:41,896 That is not true. 886 01:04:42,004 --> 01:04:46,202 You did not even make an attempt to listen to the defendant's explanation of events. 887 01:04:46,475 --> 01:04:51,174 Why did you fail to properly record the defendant's account? 888 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,305 No, I accurately recorded everything. 889 01:04:53,482 --> 01:04:56,246 Why did you fail to record the defendant's claim 890 01:04:56,352 --> 01:04:58,013 that his jacket 891 01:04:58,321 --> 01:05:00,721 was stuck in the doors, and he was pulling on it?

front to back with up to down, for example. 1982 02:16:02,480 --> 02:16:03,208 Therefore, 1983 02:16:03,315 --> 02:16:04,441 the defendant's explanation 1984 02:16:04,549 --> 02:16:07,746 with the assumption of hand pulling directly to the back, 1985 02:16:07,852 --> 02:16:09,843 is based on an assumption in the first place, 1986 02:16:09,955 --> 02:16:11,388 either way, 1987 02:16:11,489 --> 02:16:15,516 this evidence is not sufficient to prove the defendant's innocence. 1988 02:16:17,295 --> 02:16:22,028 However, it has become clear during witness examination that the witness, Ichimura, 1989 02:16:22,133 --> 02:16:25,034 rode on the same train, went to the station office immediately after the incident, 1990 02:16:25,136 --> 02:16:30,164 and had testified that she did not think the defendant was a groper. 1991 02:16:30,342 --> 02:16:33,641 We will now examine this testimony by Ichimura. 1992 02:16:34,079 --> 02:16:37,981 According to her testimony, Ichimura felt something bumping against her back 1993 02:16:38,083 --> 02:16:42,486 soon after the train departed Musashidai station, so she turned her upper body and looked back 1994 02:16:42,587 --> 02:16:45,988 and witnessed the defendant pulling on his jacket. 1995 02:16:46,091 --> 02:16:50,687 Also she was apologized to by the defendant when she met his gaze. He bowed and said "sorry." 1996 02:16:50,795 --> 02:16:54,788 However, after she turned around again, 10 minutes had passed 1997 02:16:54,899 --> 02:16:57,527 between that time and after the train left Nobukuro station 1998 02:16:57,636 --> 02:17:00,628 but before arriving Kishikawa station when she heard "please stop" by the victim, 1999 02:17:00,805 --> 02:17:04,172 even though she sensed the defendant moving behind her, 2000 02:17:04,276 --> 02:17:07,643 she did not see the defendant's actions on the train. 2001 02:17:07,746 --> 02:17:10,806 The only fact that can be acknowledged from Ichimura's testimony 2002 02:17:10,915 --> 02:17:14,510 is that the defendant was pulling on his jacket caught by the doors 2003 02:17:14,619 --> 02:17:18,077 10 miniutes before the victim said "please stop." 2004 02:17:18,189 --> 02:17:22,353 Although this fact supports part of the defendant's explanations, 2005 02:17:22,460 --> 02:17:24,087 it does not directly support 2006 02:17:24,195 --> 02:17:27,187 the exact actions taken by the defendant 2007 02:17:27,299 --> 02:17:29,597 at the time of crime. 2008 02:17:29,701 --> 02:17:32,465 Because this testimony is logically consistent with the fact that 2009 02:17:32,570 --> 02:17:34,697 the defendant was committing acts of groping during this time, 2010 02:17:34,806 --> 02:17:37,070 just because such testimony is accepted by the court, 2011 02:17:37,175 --> 02:17:40,770 does not mean it serves as an evidence that disproves the fact that the defendant is the true offender. 2012 02:17:41,413 --> 02:17:43,347 Even upon examination of other claims made by the defendant, 2013 02:17:43,448 --> 02:17:46,417 there are numerous suspicious points in his testimony, 2014 02:17:46,518 --> 02:17:52,047 and his testimony is untrustworthy as a whole, and his defense attorney's insistence cannot be accepted. 2015 02:17:52,857 --> 02:17:57,419 The defendant stubbornly denied committing the offense through various excuses, 2016 02:17:57,529 --> 02:18:01,863 and shows no signs of repentance. The likelihood of a repeated offence is undeniable. 2017 02:18:01,966 --> 02:18:06,232 As social concerns about the indecent actions aboard trains 2018 02:18:06,338 --> 02:18:08,670 and voices for eradication of such crimes increase, 2019 02:18:08,773 --> 02:18:11,606 we must severely punish the defendant who chose to 2020 02:18:11,710 --> 02:18:13,473 commit this kind of offense 2021 02:18:13,578 --> 02:18:17,480 to prevent future occurrences of such acts of crime. 2022 02:18:17,882 --> 02:18:22,046 Therefore, we must not take the defendant's criminal liability lightly... 2023 02:18:27,792 --> 02:18:33,788 Somewhere in my mind, I believed a judge would be able to discern the truth. 2024 02:18:35,333 --> 02:18:38,825 No matter how many times I told myself how tough trials are, 2025 02:18:38,937 --> 02:18:42,498 I really didn't do it, so I can't possibly be found guilty. 2026 02:18:42,741 --> 02:18:44,208 That's what I thought. 2027 02:18:46,244 --> 02:18:50,340 I heard a judge once said "only God knows the truth", 2028 02:18:50,448 --> 02:18:52,177 but that's not true. 2029 02:18:53,318 --> 02:18:54,376 At least I know the truth, 2030 02:18:55,153 --> 02:18:58,316 that I didn't do it. 2031 02:18:59,858 --> 02:19:05,262 Then, I am the only person in this trial who is fit to judge. 2032 02:19:06,831 --> 02:19:10,528 At least, I can judge the judge. 2033 02:19:11,803 --> 02:19:13,930 You have made a mistake. 2034 02:19:15,507 --> 02:19:17,702 Because I am absolutely innocent. 2035 02:19:20,378 --> 02:19:22,209 I realized for the very first time... 2036 02:19:24,015 --> 02:19:27,178 A courtrooms is not a place where truths are uncovered. 2037 02:19:28,753 --> 02:19:32,689 A courtrooms is nothing more than a place where they speculate 2038 02:19:32,791 --> 02:19:37,490 whether or not the defendant is guilty based on collected evidence. 2039 02:19:38,530 --> 02:19:41,761 And the speculation is that I'm guilty. 2040 02:19:42,333 --> 02:19:44,563 That is the judgement by the court. 2041 02:19:46,704 --> 02:19:48,296 Even so... 2042 02:19:49,541 --> 02:19:52,305 Even so, I didn't do it. 2043 02:19:55,513 --> 02:19:58,448 If the defendant is dissatisfied with this judgement, 2044 02:19:58,950 --> 02:20:01,919 he may appeal within 14 days. 2045 02:20:06,224 --> 02:20:07,816 I appeal. 2046 02:22:10,715 --> 02:22:16,278 "Please judge me the way you would want to be judged by others" 2047 02:22:19,679 --> 02:22:23,179 Translated by: 8thSin Subtitled by: Marukomu
