    Iwao Hakamada, who has been on death row for more than half a century, was found guilty in 1968 of killing his boss, the man’s wife and their two teenage children.

    He was recently granted a retrial amid suspicions that investigators may have planted evidence that led to his conviction for quadruple murder.

    More than half a century spent on death row has taken a heavy toll on Hakamada's mental health, though, meaning he was unfit to attend the hearing where his acquittal was finally handed down.

    Our 'justice' systems are anything but.

    Imagine people demanded that whole angle of managing society to be reformulated in light of the last century or so of science...

    How fucking obvious does it have to be before the penal system is seen as the vast net detriment it actually is? Are people really that fearful and easily turned against each other?

    Why is it so hard for us to see who we really need to turn against?
