My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 12/26 (Thursday).

Thanks to @speranzom for the translation of the lawyer’s blog summary!

Note: I try to repeat the Japanese thread as closely as possible here. Where I do make some editorial additions I’ll put them in [ ], though I do occasionally soften the posters’ tone.

  • Report on going to a talk show for the program Rena appears in, ランチタイムはじめちゃった [Lunchtime’s Started]
  • Riko on the Instagram of Maho, Riko, and Rena’s beautician
  • Lawyer Shishikado Nobuaki’s blog: “The atypical behavior of the defendant / The dangerousness of spreading information based on statement papers (NGT trial)”
    • https://sskdlawyer.hatenablog.com/entry/2019/12/26/205229
    • The defendant recently had a TweetCast broadcast and it was made into a TokyoSports article
    • I have to wonder if the mass media should better exercise a little bit more of caution about spreading stories such as this.
    • The main basis for this argument are the two points below: [2] and [3]
    • The first basis is that the intentions of the defendant are not clearly understandable
    • It has been written how “he even made it clear that he got permission from his lawyer about speaking out”, but this is not a normal thing to happen
    • When it comes to an incident which is still in the middle of a civil litigation, if asked from their client if the may hold a stream to broadcast one’s own opinions, the lawyer wouldn’t endorse that
    • That’s because it’s not a logical action to do to win the lawsuit
    • If ones lets one’s voice be diffused over the Internet, this can be preserved by audio recording.
    • Having one’s statement preserved represents a main source of obstruction toward one’s court trial strategy
    • Once your statements are preserved, you can no longer make up a story different from it
    • For example while in a situation where there’s audio data where you won’t clearly deny that you grabbed another person still by the face, you then go on to claim that “I didn’t grab her still by the face”
    • Necessity would then arise to explain why you couldn’t decisively deny that you grabbed her still by the face, back at the moment the audio was taken
    • A story from a man who keeps changing over and over what he says, despite there being no major reason for it, is also hard to believe
    • The second basis is that there isn’t any great value about statement papers and one’s own live voice, by themselves
    • What’s written in the statement papers (similar, at its essence, to the live voice that was broadcast on stream), is simply nothing more than the subjective opinion of one side of the parties of the case
    • What point there is in the end, about spreading what’s written inside statement papers about which no cross-examination is performed?
