可視化の必要性

　　警察の取り調べの際、富山と鹿児島で自白強要の事実が発覚し、無実の人間が、ある日突然に犯してもいない犯罪の容疑者にされてしまう恐怖が全国を震撼し、ニュースは全国を駆け巡った。警察及び検察は反対しているが、取り調べの可視化が必要であるという議論が巻き起こっている。光市母子殺害事件の差し戻し裁判は、まさに可視化の必要性を浮き彫りにした。

コラム
　　２１人の被告弁護人は、当初、被告の精神的な未熟性を訴え、殺す意思は無く、更に強姦目的さえ無かったとしていた。しかし、取り調べの際の自白強要が問題視されている昨今、弁護人は戦術を変えてきた。警察と検察が被告の供述を歪めたと言い始めたのである。取り調べは、密室で行なわれる以上、もはや水掛け論になる。科学的見地から、事実の究明を断固すべきである。遺体の検死に当たった法医学者は証人として、裁判で再度明確な証言をしてもらいたい。遺族は、事件から８年経った今、混乱し、迷い、更に傷ついている。この悲惨な結果を鑑み、又、裁判員制度が２年後に始まる今、可視化導入を切に望む。
　　ところで、この光市母子殺害事件には、動かせない証拠が有るではないか。それは、被告人の悪を明確に示している。手紙だ。一審の無期懲役判決後、自分の自由時間に知人宛てに書いたものだ。ここに、動機、殺害の意思、そして今回の差し戻し控訴審で泣きながら述べた反省とは逆に、生きて堂々と逃げきる、と自ら語っている。

Necessity of Visualization System during Interrogation

　　In Toyama and Kagoshima prefectures, innocent people were indicted despite that they were all innocent but eventually they were forced to confessions. The fear that one day, out of blue an ordinary man could be arrested for a crime he or she didn't commit but still sent to jail, evoked uproar across Japan. Although the police department and prosecutors are against introducing visualization system to interrogation, the debate regarding its necessity has been heated now. Mother-and-her-11-month-old-baby-murder case of Hikari City has just revealed the necessity of the system and clearly made the point.

　　The defendant's 21 attorneys at first emphasized his mental immaturity and foremost, he had neither intent to kill the two victims nor to rape the mother. Then, because forced confession during interrogation has been recognized as a problem right now, all of sudden the attorneys changed their strategy to use this issue favorable to the defendant by having him testify that his statement was distorted while he was interrogated by the police as well as the prosecutors. Since the interrogation took place behind closed doors, it won't be constructive anymore.
　　Here must have scientific facts in order to find the truth. The forensic scientists who examined the victims' bodies should provide clear testimony in court because they do know what the mother and her baby cried out when their lives ended.
　　8 years have passed since the horrible incident occurred. The family of the deceased are now confused and hurt over again due to the enormous change in the
defendant's testimony backed by 21 lawyers. As in two years time jury system will start in Japan, videotaped interrogation should be introduced for both sake.
　　By the way, this murder case of Hikari City has hard evidence media do not mention these days. The letter the defendant wrote in his free time and sent to his friend after the first trial. The contents of the letter, beyond any reasonable doubt, show his evilness and also tell his motive, intent to kill and confidence that he could get away with it alive which totally oppose all guilty conscience he said he had weeping in this round of trial.
