RSSAt Least He is Honest
Pedophile Kaoru Kobayashi in Japan recognizes that he is unable to be rehabilitated after being arrested for sexually assaulting and murdering a young girl in Japan. He asks for a death sentence because he knows that he has no chance on being rehabilitated.
Wouldn’t it be great if this was an option afforded the courts in this country. Let the judge ask before an expensive trial if the accused just wants to be put to death then and there.
A man under indictment for abducting, sexually assaulting and murdering a young girl has asked the judge trying his case to sentence him to death, his defense lawyer said.
Kaoru Kobayashi, 37, has sent several letters to Judge Tetsuya Okuda at the Nara District Court on June 27 and July 10, after his trial was concluded, asking that he be punished with death.
“I would like to be sentenced to death,” the letters partly read. “I have no confidence in being able to rehabilitate myself.” The court subsequently sent the letters back to his lawyer Yoshio Takano.
“I suppose he believes he has no choice but to atone for his crimes with his own life. A chaplain at the detention center where he is confined chants a sutra for him every day,” said Takano.
Kobayashi also sent a letter to a magazine editor on Aug. 1, apologizing to the victim’s bereaved family.

Japa has a BETTER idea !!!!!!!!!!
contrast this felon with the j2k and their families. i always heard the japanese were an honorable people.
dennisintn
denn, Yea but also contrast this felon with ALL the pedophiles that are running around the USA. Our judges just let them go. No jail time because they are to pretty or short or some other dumb reason !!!
imo, pedophiles should be locked up for life when first convicted.
dennis
dennis, I agree 100%. They can’t be rehabilitated so when our judges let these scum bags out it is just a matter of time before they do it again !!!!!!!!!!!
Give the pedophile what he wants. By the time most pedophiles are busted the first time, they have already offended SIXTEEN times. Lock them up. Throw away the key.
I do remember the idiotic judge (unbelievably, it was a woman!) who said the pedophile was “too short” for prison. Too bad she didn’t consider whether the child that he raped was “too short” to protect themselves before being violated.
And for the poster who said each convicted pedophile has offended 17 times, I honestly thought it was much higher rate. I hope it is only 17…..
Also, I do believe that these type of individuals should be locked up for life and/or microchiped while under sedation so they do not know where the chip it. The deeper they place it, the better!

I say it may be time to lock up the Judges.
Perhaps, many of them are pedophiles too.
Wasn’t there a judge who recently got outed because he was using a penis suction device while trying cases….and it was heard by people in the courtroom.
