"Death Sentence for Arson Attack at Japanese Anime Studio"

A Japanese court sentenced Shinji Aoba to death for carrying out a deadly arson attack on Kyoto Animation's studio in 2019, killing 36 people. Aoba, who was found mentally capable to face punishment, had sought revenge against the studio, believing they had stolen his novel submissions. The court ruled that the attack was premeditated and that Aoba showed little sincere regret, leading to the death penalty. The government has since increased restrictions on gasoline sales, but declined to comment on the ruling.

"Kyoto Animation Arsonist Sentenced to Death for 2019 Studio Attack"

A Japanese man, Shinji Aoba, has been sentenced to death for killing 36 people and injuring many others in an arson attack on Kyoto Animation studio in 2019. The judge ruled that Aoba was not insane or suffering from diminished mental capacity at the time of the crime. Aoba admitted to starting the fire but his lawyers argued that he was mentally unstable. The attack shocked Japan, and the severity of the crimes led to the heaviest sentence possible. Japan is one of the few developed countries to retain the death penalty, and despite international calls to abolish it, a government poll showed that 80 percent of the public favor retaining it.
