SHIZUOKA –
It was greater than 58 years within the making.
Former skilled boxer Iwao Hakamata has been discovered not responsible over a 1966 quadruple homicide case, a Shizuoka courtroom dominated on Thursday — a long-awaited retrial verdict for the defendant and his supporters, who’ve fought to show his innocence since he was first arrested for the crime.
Retrials are extraordinarily uncommon in Japan.
