From an article a few years ago;
“Killer Richard Hinds failed to rehabilitate in jail, even after undergoing a five year “regime of classes and interviews” in a Japanese prison.
The program at Fuchu Prison was designed to create a sense of remorse for the murder, but Japanese experts said they only have a “moderate expectation” Hinds can be rehabilitated.”

*Happened in Japan, killer was imprisoned in Japan, as I think people tend only to read the headlines.

But yes, sickening.
This guy should have had a much longer sentence. Everything he did was thought out, and there were plenty of opportunities for him to back out, or at least not make the situation even worse. He and a friend spiked two girls drinks, took them back comatose to a hotel in a taxi, sexually assaulted one of the girls in the taxi, got wheelchairs from the hotel to bring both of them to the men’s rooms, and raped them while they were unconscious. Nicola Furlong woke up during this and screamed, and was strangled.
There’s video evidence of the sexual assault in the taxi, and of the two men pushing the passed out girls in the wheelchair in the hotel but still the killer claims it was all an accident. I don’t know how Japanese law works, but I don’t see how they can put someone like that back on the streets although I assume he will be immediately deported to the USA.
That’s crazy
Terrible way to go.
It’s unfortunate that, even with maximum sentencing, he served only 10 years, due to being a minor according to Japqnese law.
Hopefully that shitbag doesn’t get an opportunity to re-offend.
The friend who drugged and raped Nicola’s friend was released after 3 years and seems to be just as bad. Both should have been put down.

fuck me
Rule 12 applies instead of this tedious lame attempt at injecting moral outrage you do be getting off OPs.

Unfortunately he counted as not an adult at the time under Japan’s quite liberal definition.
The hotel didn’t think that men taking unconscious women to their hotel room was something odd? They gave them fucking wheelchairs to do it?
Jesus fucking Christ.
Whatever about the cunts that did it, the hotel is just as disgusting.
May she rest in peace 🙏🏼🕊 I really feel for families in this country that have to deal with these short sentences, mustn’t feel like justice has been served at all.
Problem the world over it seems. Victim gets a permanent sentence of no more life, family get a life sentence of loss and grief and perpetrator gets a second or 202nd chance. Any party that puts vermin away for the rest of their natural life gets my vote.
He was realised and spent most of his time inside living a pretty easy life. Online to his own he’s a hero and will go home to a hero’s welcome. A product of good old USA
One thing I love about Native American matriarchies is treating rape ase seriously as murder. Then again some people kill once but never again. Every rapist is a repeat offender so it makes no sense to ever let them out of prison.
what a vile piece of shit
Boil your blood even further by reading the Wikipedia talk page where people in the US are arguing that this case is not notable enough to warrant a wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Nicola_Furlong
Luckily it seems someone with a shred of sanity and decency has jumped in a few weeks ago and made a counter argument, but seriously what the fuck.
