A juvenile crime by a 17-year-older today in Fukushima.
History repeats itself, as I've experienced a similar crime in Kobe when I was in my third year as a reporter, I could never forget about...
I took out this book to read for the first time in 8 years...
"Will You Still Punish a Juvenile?" by Yoshikuni Noguchi, the chief defense counsel for the Kobe Children's Serial Murder Case (a serial murder case in 1997 in which a 14-year-old boy murdered 2 children and injured 3 others in Kobe... it will be exactly a decade since the horrific killing took place on May 27th... see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakakibara)
What is it with teenagers!?
I still don't get it...
