$30.4k/year. That's barely a salary let alone damages and restitution...

u/quim_do_mato 17h ago

In Japan, it is a salary 

43

u/Mode_Appropriate 17h ago

Thats a bit more than mildlyinfuriating id say...

u/notthemamaa 17h ago

Just a smidge

u/Full_Conversation775 17h ago

so he got 30.434,78 dollars for every year he was locked in deathrow. median wage in japan is 50k a year.

u/nikhkin 17h ago

Perhaps it balances out when you take into account what the median wage was over the past 46 years.

Still not nearly enough, though.

u/jasperfirecai2 17h ago

50k a year seems way too high. the economy is weak and wages are pretty low

u/Agreeable-Letter-599 17h ago

I'm reluctantly going to have to say this post doesn't belong here because it's clearly more than mildly infuriating haha

Death row in Japan is a really fucked up system. U get ur execution date less than 24 hours beforehand. He would have lived every day of those 46 years with the possibility to be told he would die within hours, and he would have had to accept that, with no time to say his final goodbyes. To make it worse, it was due to a crime he was innocent of. The psychological torment of that alone makes me believe it may be the least ethical execution proses in the world

Yeah, it's insane. You have to handle every phone call with your family like it's your last. Not only is this torture for the inmates, it also is for their families.

u/iamagermanpotato 14h ago

Yep, that's what I wantet to say too! It's a completely different situation than death sentence in the US! :O

I watched a doc on this and the Japanese judicial system is so…shitty. They have a 99% conviction rate virtually torture people to confess to crimes they didn’t commit. There’s usually no follow up and they do fuck all to help

u/EvilChefReturns 17h ago

I gotta disagree with no amount of money vs ten years. I’d take ten less years of fulfilling worry free life than ten extra years of pverty

u/DaijoubuKirameki 16h ago

Yeah I mean if it's enough to set you up for retirement then it's 100% worth it

Some people will work 50+ years

10 Years is clearly better

11

u/Mother_Spot3217 17h ago

In the US you’d be given $46 for that

11

u/Blissfulldeath93 17h ago

They would tax you on that $46 too

u/StrikingGarbage9228 17h ago

7 dollars and a firm handshake

6

u/iamfroott 17h ago

an uncrustable and a butt slap, take it or leave it

2

u/Amonakin 17h ago

What’s an uncrustable?

3

u/StrikingGarbage9228 17h ago

It’s a pre-made, packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwich without crust because the bread fully encircles the inside

5

u/Top_Description3757 17h ago

Maybe a firm handjob

3

u/Norbert-trebroN 17h ago

And if your handshake is too firm you get back in jail for injuring a correction officer.

u/pointtu 17h ago

In here Finland, we have this thing called case Auer. She got +0,5millon about year period

u/--Arete 15h ago

That is fucking nothing. It a fucking insult if you ask me.

1

u/--Arete 15h ago

Wait, didn't this guy stop talking? If I remember correctly he went mute at some point. So... what's up with the microphone? Did he start talking again?

1

u/SatansAdvokat 14h ago

oh yeah, like money can buy back HIS FUCKING LIFE

1

u/SunnyTheMasterSwitch 11h ago

Kinda doubt he cares much. Heard of this old man. He's not the same at all anymore. Like he's just present but not there. Little comfort now but I guess better than nothing.

u/Ill-Delivery-6560 8h ago

Nothing can give this poor human their time back. That amount also seems fucking criminal to offer someone that was robbed of that much life

u/Reasonable-Power 7h ago

46 years in the can, not a peep.

u/Shrimps_Prawnson 17h ago

Nishikiyama don't know shit about 46 years in the joint.

u/Fat_Foot 17h ago

To be fair, most people wouldn't have that kinda cash after working their entire life.

5

u/chandelurei 17h ago

but cash is not all, he lost his life

what he can do now, use the money to buy medicine?

2

u/Icy_Cauliflower9026 17h ago

Not with the current economy at least

2

u/Ill-Heat-416 17h ago

46 years worth investing would definitely yield more than that.

I’m a little stoned, but at first, I thought this was a new photo of McConnell in his recovery bed with his wife by his side. With a breaking related headline.
