A: Hey there! Did you catch the news today?
B: Nope, what's up?

A: Well, a guy named Aoki Masanori was sentenced to death for killing four people two years ago.
B: Oh wow, that sounds serious. Who were the victims?

A: He stabbed two women in Nakano City and shot two police officers who responded to the attack. Sadly, both died.
B: That's terrible... Was there a trial for this case?

A: Yes! The trial focused on whether he could be held fully responsible because his defense claimed he was mentally incapacitated at the time.
B: And what did the court decide?

A: The judge acknowledged that Aoki could be held fully liable and called the crime cruel, with no leniency. He even added that Aoki deserves severe criticism before giving the death sentence.
B: That's harsh... But it seems justice was served in this case.
