Let's go. 22:17.541 --> 22:18.625 Yay! 22:19.541 --> 22:22.708 The victims were a father, Masato Minegishi, aged 35, 22:22.791 --> 22:24.458 and his son, Ryota, age 6. 22:24.541 --> 22:25.583 NURSERY 22:25.666 --> 22:27.916 The accident happened on their way home from daycare. 22:29.041 --> 22:31.166 It seems the father had been suffering from depression 22:31.250 --> 22:32.583 and was on leave from work. 22:33.166 --> 22:34.291 Depression? 22:35.541 --> 22:37.041 And how's the father doing now? 22:37.125 --> 22:38.583 He passed away. 22:39.916 --> 22:42.333 But there's something that caught my attention. 22:42.833 --> 22:45.291 The accident was captured by Mr. Morita's dashcam, 22:45.375 --> 22:46.916 and the victim's bicycle 22:47.000 --> 22:48.500 was already lying on the ground. 22:48.583 --> 22:50.125 It was already on the ground? 22:50.208 --> 22:52.125 Furthermore, according to the investigation 22:52.208 --> 22:56.083 and the medical examiner, the child was bleeding significantly, 22:56.166 --> 22:58.625 whereas there were no signs of bleeding or other vital reactions 22:58.708 --> 23:00.166 observed in the father's body. 23:00.250 --> 23:01.333 Whoa. 23:01.416 --> 23:03.416 If he had been alive when he was hit, 23:03.500 --> 23:06.041 there would have been bleeding from his injuries, right? 23:06.125 --> 23:07.375 Yeah, that's right. 23:07.458 --> 23:08.625 Something… 23:09.750 --> 23:11.583 something felt off, so I looked into it 23:11.666 --> 23:14.791 and requested the father's medical records from the area hospital. 23:17.291 --> 23:21.291 He's been rushed to the hospital several times recently due to heart conditions, 23:21.375 --> 23:24.833 and he's been prescribed medication for those same conditions. 23:25.625 --> 23:26.916 Heart conditions? 23:30.375 --> 23:34.333 What if the father actually had a heart attack, collapsed on the road, 23:34.833 --> 23:37.791 and was already dead when he was hit by Mr. Morita? 23:39.791 --> 23:40.625 Wait. Hold on. 23:41.250 --> 23:44.125 Are you saying that the father's death had nothing to do with the accident, 23:44.208 --> 23:45.375 Mr. Kujo? 23:45.458 --> 23:46.791 If that's the case, 23:47.583 --> 23:49.833 we're looking at desecration of a corpse due to negligence, 23:49.916 --> 23:51.500 which isn't a criminal offense. 23:51.583 --> 23:53.125 If he was already dead, 23:53.208 --> 23:55.166 it isn't negligent driving causing death either. 23:55.250 --> 23:58.291 But Morita had been drinking all morning and was playing a game on his phone 23:58.375 --> 23:59.958 when he ran into them. 24:00.041 --> 24:03.291 Oh, you're right. I agree. He's a total scumbag. 24:03.375 --> 24:05.708 All right, so you think so too. Then we-- 24:05.791 --> 24:09.458 But whether or not we think he's a scumbag is irrelevant to the case. 24:09.541 --> 24:13.250 What is relevant is when Morita hit him, was the father alive or was he dead? 24:13.333 --> 24:14.166 That's the question. 24:18.083 --> 24:19.083 And how… 24:19.833 --> 24:21.208 What about the kid? How's he doing? 24:24.708 --> 24:26.791 There were no life-threatening injuries. 24:28.625 --> 24:29.458 But his… 24:32.833 --> 24:34.916 His left leg was amputated. 24:43.375 --> 24:44.500 Ryota! 24:49.750 --> 24:51.666 I'm sorry. 24:54.500 --> 24:56.333 I'm sorry. 25:29.166 --> 25:30.041 The decision. 25:30.125 --> 25:31.041 COURTHOUSE 25:31.125 --> 25:34.791 The defendant is sentenced to one year and eight months of imprisonment. 25:35.291 --> 25:38.833 The execution of this sentence shall be suspended for three years 25:38.916 --> 25:41.416 from the date on which this ruling becomes final and binding. 25:42.750 --> 25:43.625 Huh? 25:44.166 --> 25:47.000 For real?
