      The surgeons actually used him as an artificial skin graft guinea pig in order to later use that experience to heal his victims. He's currently the person with the most artificial skin grafts in the world.

      An article had a quote from the surgeon. The only good thing to come out of the whole thing is that the doctor gained knowledge for skin grafts which have been used in other operations since then. The doctor's quote: "I believe you could say that saving [Aoba’s] life was meaningful, as it allowed for him to stand trial. I’m sorry, though, but I have absolutely no sympathy for him, and want him to feel the weight of the crime he committed."

      The motto all defense lawyers must follow is the one espoused by St. Thomas More, lawyer and former Chancellor to Henry VIII, who had him beheaded with false charges.
      His hothead son-in law confronted him:
      William Roper: “So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!”
      Sir Thomas More: “Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?”
      William Roper: “Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that!”
      Sir Thomas More: “Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake!

      And by the way that is for good reason... because there are all too often actually innocent people on Death Row (not just in Japan). Prosecutors in Japan are really viscious, when they believe (for whatever reason) that you are guilty. They will withold exculpatory evidence, hinder the defense and even fabricate evidence to get you convicted (keeping that 99% rate alive and well). And even if they are found out (like in the Hamada case), they will fight tooth and nail to keep a person they KNOW to be innocent on Death Row.

    To answer Joey's question, the truth is, and I would not surprised if it is like this in most courts worldwide, every person has a right to a trial, regardless of whether they are guilty or not. A defense attorney is not necessarily employed to get the defendant off. Sometimes they are there to get a lesser sentence. This guy didn't deserve a lesser sentence, but it is his right to be tried.

      Yeah the point is that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty, so you have to give them a defense. And in some cases, people’s mental capacity or state does effect the severity with which they should be punished… like for instance in the United States, some guy who was a house painter tried to assinate Pres Jackson… turned out the chemicals in the paint drove him mad and he thought he was Richard the 3rd and Jackson owed him money. Needless to say they didn’t give him the death penalty because he was clearly not right in the head.

    Hi Joey, legal defense isn't about "winning or losing" it's about ensuring their client is trialed fairly within the courts and to ensure that legal proceedings are done so in accordance to legal governce and not out of spite and revenge which dismantles the concept of democracy.

    Joey don't attack the lawyers who defended the arsonist. They were paid to defend the arsonist probably because he requested for an attorney. It is possible that they dont want to but had to defend Shinji Aoba. So the reason why the attorney used a "mental disorder" claims to defend the criminal is because it is one of the most common and easier claims to try and contest the trial. For all we know, that was probably the only thing they could do to try and "help" this criminal, even if they don't want to help the guy. It is their job to literally defend their client, they are lawyers at the end of the day. And the guy gets the deserved punishment. No reason to further destroy the careers of the attorneys who tried to "defend" the criminal.

    For the "how to the defense lawyers do it" it's the idea that everyone deserves a good defense even if they're obviously guilty or "evil" or anything. There are always times where someone is "obviously" guilty but it turns out they actually weren't or there were other significant factors, and letting them have a defense is better than a sham court where they just get executed. Also, at least in the US, there's (theoretically, sadly not often in reality) the idea that it's better for many guilty people to go free than to infringe on the rights of an innocent person.

    If I remember correctly, he had entered a competition of the studio, in which you have a chance to have your scene/idea featured in one of their works (or something like that). He wrote a scene of two characters going to a supermarket and buying meat on sale. He did not win and for some time everything was fine, until he watched one of the studio´s anime, which had a scene similar to what he wrote. If you watch any documentary about this tragedy, you learn that he was pretty unstable and agressive individual and seeing this scene was his last straw. In his head the studio stole his work and he was in for the revenge.

      I’m not sure about this particular contest but the whole plagiarism thing would also depend on who owns the rights to the story in question. Some of them stipulate, if in the fine print, that all entries to the contest become the property of the company running the contest, in this case KyoAni studio(?). Which makes this whole thing even more sickening imo.

    3:46 dunno how it is in Japan, but in the US (and most common law jurisdictions, I would presume) there's several tiers to "insanity" defenses. The full-on affirmative defense of "I'm crazy so I'm not guilty," has a pretty high bar complete with a lot of medical testimony, but the less-comprehensive defense of "I'm not a full-on crazy but just had diminished capacity" is more often used. The latter can stave off things like the death penalty or get the charge downgraded to a form of manslaughter.
    As for how an attorney can try to do it, you kind of answered your own question. You couldn't help but call the whole thing "insane" despite your whole point being that it should be difficult to pull off an insanity defense here. The fact that the act itself is so outside the boundaries of normal human behavior can ironically help a bit, especially if the accused (1) had no prior history of doing anything off, (2) was a quiet but also generally productive or at least self-sufficient member of society, and/or (3) suffered a large (or series of grinding) setbacks that is widely acknowledged to be able to chip away at anyone's mental well-being.
    As for whether or not the court/jury buys such a story is an entirely different matter. Honestly more often than not in truly heinous crimes, the entire defense is just something the system patiently sits through, simply because they have to before bringing down the hammer.

    Not that I'm saying that his lawyers' defense makes sense or is good. But defense attorneys need to do their job, and there's a saying that even the devil has the right to an attorney. Basically, if there's no defense attorney (for most democratic countries anyway), the conviction of a criminal is meaningless. So while I understand that defense attorneys can be really annoying and may appear like they're the enemies of the public, the fact that they're doing their job gives more meaning to a conviction (when it happens).
    What I'm trying to say is, if a suspect gets judged/convicted without a defense attorney, that wouldn't be real justice. Because without a defense attorney, it cannot be proven beyond doubt that a suspect is guilty.

    When you think about wanting to go back in time to change things of course there's a lot of things you'd want to change, but this incident genuinely makes me want to go back in time to prevent it. Condolences to their friends and family and to all the future masterpieces they could have worked on.

    Honestly I am relieved that the verdict is finally out…It’s so sad to think of how many people died in this for nothing. Anime like Lucky Star were my childhood.
    Although I must admit as a European the death penalty always feels kinda weird cuz in Europe the worst thing you could get is life-long prison.

    To add to the other law-related comments here: There's a reason why the quantum of evidence required for a person to be convicted is beyond reasonable doubt. It's to erase any wiggle room that the accused was not the one who actually committed the crime and the one who makes that wiggle room is the defense attorney while the one who eliminates that is the prosecution.
    Even if you, as a lawyer, know your client is guilty, your job is to give them every available remedy the law allows which may be bail, a plea deal, mitigated sentence, etc.

    One lawyer said that when defending a criminal, even when knowing they are guilty, they have to trust that the law will be applied correctly and justice will be done.
    because the truth is that everyone deserves to be defended and while some cases seem obvious, some times it isnt always like that.
    Again lawyers will do their job and then its up to the judge to make well.. the right judgment

    According to law in most countries, every criminal has to go through a trial and you need a lawyer for a fair trial to happen. Therefore if the criminals have to be punished it is necessary that they also have legal representation.

    To answer slightly about the lawyer aspect Joey. It's just standard procedure for lawyer to defend their client even if it's completely clear they did it. Kind of like commissions they're being paid to defend him.
