📖 "Days That Touch the Heart (Vol. 1) ~ 272 Days in Prison of Love, Loss, and Rebirth ~"

📔 From my diary

XX/XX (Day)

It might have been the most exhausting day of my life. I don't remember the fine details of the main text read aloud by the presiding judge. There were two men in the gallery, and when I entered the room, I made eye contact with one of them, but I couldn't tell if he was related to the victim or not.

The verdict was 8 months in prison for the second case, with a 3-year suspended sentence (I think. I want to verify that again). For the first case, it was a 500,000 yen fine with no suspension. Although it was within the range I had anticipated, as I am currently unable to pay, it weighs heavily on me.

Appeals, retrials, what to do next... There are so many things I need to think about urgently. But for a little while, even if just for one day, I want to empty my mind.

When the trial ended and I was leaving, I think Attorney KZ said,

"Well then, take care."

I immediately asked, "Could you come to visit me?" And it was decided that he would come to visit tomorrow.

I cannot forget the sharp eyes of the presiding judge as he read the verdict.

📔 Diary 🔗️📖 P. 50 "2022.8.22~"

✏️ I couldn't properly understand the main text read by the presiding judge, so

I pleaded, "I didn't understand it well, could you please read it again?" but it was rejected.

After the verdict was handed down and I left the courtroom, I was told by an official in the waiting room that once the term for the labor service Vol. 1 I was already serving ended, the labor service Vol. 2 would be executed immediately. In that case, a 500,000 yen fine equals 100 days of labor service, and combined with Vol. 1, my release date would be May 21st of the following year (2023). About half a year until release. I am at a loss. My rented apartment will definitely be forcibly cleared out. Everything goes dark before my eyes. And so, I am pushed into a litigation game that becomes a practical application of the Six Codes.

After that, even after a week or two passed, KZ never came to visit. The reason is clear. Because he has no obligation to. And if I were to force that request, it could potentially be against the law in some cases.

(Coercion)📚Penal Code Article 223

To KZ

✉️ Thank you for your help regarding the trial.

Regarding the violation of the Waste Management Act, could I consult with you on whether or not to appeal? The deadline is MM/DD, so please, somehow, arrange a visit in the near future.

Thank you in advance.

MM/DD

I had predicted that if I brought up the matter of an appeal, Attorney KZ would definitely come to visit. This is because appealing is our right, and infringing upon that would be a violation of civil law. My prediction was correct.

📚(Damages for Tort) Civil Code Article 709

In this way, KZ finally came to visit me at the detention center.

KZ's Final Visit

~ From the notes taken during the visit with KZ ~

The appeal procedure can be done with a single signature. The statement of reasons, etc., will be prepared afterward.
Documents for this trial 👇 There is nothing in particular that will be delivered.
Speaking as someone close to me (someone who can visit), he said it would be wiser to let the judgment become final and start the labor service sooner.
It is not easy for the prosecution to appeal. The judge also handed down the verdict while referring to past precedents and the like. He said that unless there is something extraordinary, the verdict will not be overturned.
Even after the trial is finalized, no documents will be sent from the court.
Period until the appellate trial 👇 30 to 50 days
The reason why I couldn't see the materials by MM/DD 👇 I was evaded and couldn't get an answer. It felt like he didn't remember well. In any case, he is quite senile. On the other hand, I intuitively felt that this point was at leastroom to be sued civillybecause of that.
To the question, "Will you withdraw the money?"

"Appeal and ask the next lawyer."

That was what he said.

When I said, "How can you be so cruel?" KZ said nothing and stood up.

"I can't believe it," I said, but KZ just disappeared.

[KZ Summary]

It is unclear if there were any helpful aspects. Being assigned such a lawyer is my own fault. Also, as he himself said, he "did what he had to do." In other words, that is probably what a lawyer is, fundamentally. Doing the bare minimum and then not caring about the rest...

[Appeal Summary]

The policy is not to appeal. For the following reasons.

It is unclear whether the fine amount would be reduced.
Insufficient grounds for appeal.
The possibility of the prosecution filing a counter-appeal cannot be ruled out.
An appeal trial would take 30 to 50 days, during which time I would be forced to remain in custody as a pre-trial detainee.

📢To those who have read the content

This is actually one cohesive, realistic story in its entirety.

🔰📖 'Kokoshimi' Super-Summary

👉For those who want to grasp the whole picture roughly

❓📖 What is 'Kokoshimi'?

👉The big picture. A "special piece" written at the end of grueling days. I hope you can feel something lighting up in your heart...

A broken life. Yet, I was allowed to live. So now, I begin to tell my story. A tale of "crimeandpunishment", "loveandbondsandrebirth", and "true"freedom". I am documenting the 272 days I spent there, and the harrowing days that followed.

Also, through my prison "🏛️Litigation Game", I will cut into deep issues of modern society, such as false accusations, the death penalty system, and the darkness of the judiciary. There is also more laid-back content like "🏰Prison Topics".

In this way, through the trajectory of one life, I ask, "What does it mean to live?" "What is love?"

👉Just the content you are interested in is OK
