from the wikipedia article:
The
boys were arrested and tried as adults; but, because of Japanese
handling of crimes committed by juveniles, their identities were sealed
by the court. However, a weekly magazine Shūkan Bunshun reported their
real names, claiming that "human rights aren't needed for brutes."[3]
Furuta's real name and details about her personal life were reported
exhaustively in the media. Kamisaku was judged as a sub leader, at
least according to the official trial.
The four boys pled guilty
to a reduced charge of "committing bodily injury that resulted in
death", rather than murder. Miyano's parents sold their house for
approximately 50 million yen and paid this as compensation to Furuta's
family.[citation needed]
For his participation in the crime,
Kamisaku served eight years in a juvenile prison before he was
released, in August 1999. In July 2004, he was arrested for assaulting
an acquaintance, whom he believed to be luring a girlfriend away from
him, and allegedly bragged about his earlier infamy. [1] Kamisaku was
sentenced to seven years in prison for the beating.
Junko's
parents were dismayed by the sentences received by their daughter's
killers, and enjoined a civil suit against the parents of the boy in
whose home the crimes were committed. When some of the convictions were
overturned on the basis of problematic physical evidence (the semen and
pubic hair recovered from the body did not match those of the boys who
were arrested), the lawyer handling the civil suit decided there was no
case to be made and refused to represent them further. |
