In rare retrial, Shizuoka court rules ex-boxer not guilty of 1966 murders
袴田巌さん、再審で無罪判決
It was more than 58 years in the making.
Former professional boxer Iwao Hakamata has been found not guilty over a 1966 quadruple murder case, a Shizuoka court ruled on Sept. 26 — a long-awaited retrial verdict for the defendant and his supporters, who have fought to prove his innocence since he was first arrested for the crime.
Retrials are extremely rare in Japan.
