I think it was already more than 20 years ago theis incident occurred. Mr and Ms Miura visited Los Angeles in their honey moon. Both were shot by someone. Ms Miura was shot dead, Mr Miura was wounded.
He was arrested in Japan after he came back. It was obvious he was not the person who shot her. He was charged in conspirating the crime with the third person who shot them actually.
After a lengthy trial, Mr Miura was finally found not guilty, then he was released.
Time goes by he visited Saipan for sightseeing, then arrested by US authority.
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.
What I was pointing out is this point. He was not extradited, and I don't know whether US had demanded Japanese authority hand over him after the incident.
But an incident occurred in Los Angeles, not in Japan. Investigation by Japanese authority had its limitation form the beginning. US court says anyone won't be put to trial for the same crime twice. But he is about to put to trial for the same crime in the US. US court said it was not discussed as to conspiring the killing with the third person who committed the murder actually although he was not guilty in murder charges.
The reality is all his charges about murder and conspiring the plot was examined in Japanese court. He was not guilty in the end.
But that does not stop putting him to another trial in the US. He was arrested in Saipan, not in Japan. Statute of limitations must have stopped at a time he left US more than 20 years ago. US said anyone won't to put to trial for the same crime again in an attempt to probably appeace the pride of Japanese court or more simply I think it's just from the unnecessary 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.
Crime was taken place in the US. US has the solemn right to judge the crime.
There are many agreements in extradition. US military personels who committed a serious crime as murder, rape are extradited. Other minor crimes, no.
Many years ago one South American man killed his Japanese girlfriend and left Japan for his country. There was no extradition agreement between two countries. Then Japanese police asked to arrest and investigate him in his country.
He was shot dead before arrest. There's different rule in different countries.
By the way...why you put 'e' at the end of the English word 'angel', thanks for pointing out but it was so confusing..
