US court said arrest is just because in Japan even if he was not guilty in murder charges, his case was not discussed about conspiring the crime. But it was clear that he didn't kill his wife, the point was whether he asked someone to kill his wife. After a very lengthy trial, Japanese court concluded there was no direct proof of conspiring the killing between Miura and the third person who committed the killing. But an incident occurred in Los Angels, not in Japan. Investigation by Japanese authority had its limitation form the beginning. If US court says anyone won't be put to trial for the same crime twice, he is the case. But dared to say so because I think it's from the consideration to a Japanese court. He was arrested because US investigators thought there remains rational doubt about the conspiracy and murder by the third person thereafter. I think US court has been starting another trial of the same crime under the name of a different charge, but it's not a wrong decision since the statute of limitation stopped when he left US, so I think US had a legal right to start a trial when Miura visited US. He was arrested in Saipan.
