Judgment rush cont'd...

タイトル:判決ラッシュ続く…

I had to take care of 5 judgments today. But the main ones were not mine.

attracting most of the media was this "Mr. Journalist"!
the ex-Mainichi writer (on the left) lost his battle at the district court...
the judgment sidestepped the issue about whether Japan-U.S. had a secret agreement!

Murakami-san's questioning at court attracted the other journalists, and all I was left with was cleaning up the unsold stock with fellow writers!

きょうは5つの判決を処理しなければならなかった。でも重要なのは俺の担当ではなかった。

元毎日記者(左の)は地裁での戦いに敗れた…
判決では日米に密約があったのかどうかの判断は避けた!

村上さんの被告人質問が他の記者たちを引きつけた。そして俺は在庫を残りの仲間たちと処理した!

以下は最も注目を集めた裁判についての共同の記事…(和訳は略)


article from Kyodo about the most notable suit of the day...
◆Suit over secret Okinawa pact argument rejected
TOKYO, March 27 KYODO
The Tokyo District Court rejected a damages suit Tuesday filed by a former Mainichi Shimbun reporter who argued his career was ruined by an illegal indictment over his report about a secret agreement between Japan and the United States over the 1972 reversion of Okinawa to Japan.
Takichi Nishiyama, 75, sought 33 million yen in compensation and an apology from the state. He said his report that Japan secretly shouldered $4 million in costs for Okinawa's reversion to Japanese rule from U.S. occupation was backed up by the release of U.S. government documents.
