My translation of the summary from https://jbbs.shitaraba.net/bbs/read.cgi/music/29852/1553736787 for 12/27 (Friday).

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.

  • Maho’s tweet
  • Riko will appear in a countdown event
  • Riko’s tweets
  • Discussion of Naoki Prize nominated author Go Katsuhiro’s new work, “Swan”, which has “parts based on the NGT troubles and in particular how a woman is bashed and how she tries to fight it”.
  • Ryuta’s past tweets are all deleted
  • Nishigata posts a photo of her in the same pose as from Maho’s photobook. It’s not an unusual pose, but there’s suspicion of [intentional] agitation with Ogino being the photographer.
  • From Wezzy: “One year since the NGT48 assault incident, reports that “Yamaguchi Maho was connected with the suspects” come up in the course of the trial”
  • Takken Taro video: “NGT — Bad news for Yoshinari (1) The AKS attorney claims “there was an assault incident”!”
    • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mjVrZx-0qU0
    • President Yoshinari has said, “there was no assault incident” and “since it was not prosecuted it wasn’t an incident”.
    • But AKS’s own lawyers eagerly claim in their brief that, “No, there was an assault incident”. It’s not an exaggeration to say they use the expression like this was a criminal case.
      – 
    • (Because it’s clear that the defendants assaulted Yamaguchi)
      • Yoshinari, are you listening? They are saying, “It is clear that there was a conspiracy to commit such an assault”. Thus the AKS attorneys are strongly claiming that “there was an assault incident”.
      • So if this is the case, then though it wasn’t prosecuted this is more like “deferred enforcement” rather than there being “no suspicion” or “insufficient suspicion”.
      • So isn’t it likely that in truth there was an assault, but the decision was made not to go all the way through to prosecution?
      • There was an incident, a criminal matter. Are you listening President Yoshinari?
      • There was a criminal incident. AKS’s own in-house lawyers are making such a claim.
    • ((イ) There is an admission from Defendant 2 of an assault)
      • The AKS attorneys’ are making a strong argument that there was an assault incident.
    • (There’s the act of pulling the door back-and-forth with Yamaguchi)
      • Even if you only consider the act of pulling back and forth, it was an assault incident.
      • This sort of act against someone, if considered a “tangible action”, I think would be considered an injury and an assault.
      • The injury part of that is more severe.
      • An assault is a tangible action that does not result in injury.
      • So even if the other person isn’t injured, even if it’s just a light strike, an assault has occurred, and in reality for the crime of assault current case law has established that the strike doesn’t even need to be directly on the person’s body. This is pretty widely accepted.
      • Now with the story of pulling back-and-forth on the door, you can thus recognize that this is a “self-admission” from Defendant 2.
      • With the pulling on the door, it’s possible Yamaguchi might have had some muscle problem, or fallen and been injured.
      • When you think about it, the AKS lawyers are saying just the pulling back-and-forth on the door establishes this as an assault.
    • Now regarding this criminal assault that occurred, to me the AKS attorneys’ claims here are quite pertinent and I want to strongly support this as the correct claim.
    • In this part what they’re claiming is perfect.
    • Also it’s possible that there are other such examples that will be considered criminal assault (second image).
    • Even if you just take the suspects admission of “pulling back-and-forth on the door” then the claim is that a criminal assault has occurred.
    • Yamaguchi’s anti’s are saying thing like, “In reality there was no assault”, “It’s Yamaguchi’s misunderstanding”, “It’s nothing more than an over-exaggeration”.
    • And the president saying generally the same thing with statements like, “Since it wasn’t prosecuted there was no assault incident”.
    • Even if they’re not prosecuted after being arrested, because data about a person is preserved by the police, you can’t say something like, “There was no incident” or “there was no criminal case”.
    • When all is said and done their allies, the attorneys AKS themselves hired, are making a strong claim that there was an assault incident.
    • Of course the lawyers for the 3rd party committee also recognized that there had been an assault incident.
    • It would be best for them to stop saying, “There was no assault incident” just to degrade Yamaguchi.
