Only $1.4m for 46 yrs?! The jap government has fucked this guy twice over. And his lawyer has clearly not done his job properly.

But his name was exonerated. In the US and Singapore he'd have been executed and his family legacy would have been tainted forever.

That's the main problem with the death penalty - you can't right a wrongful conviction.

Well, that's one way of looking at it. Still, the jap government could've been more magnanimous, that's all I'm saying.

Agreed. But the Jap government is broke, and compensation rates have not been updated since the days when USD1 = ¥100
 
use some of that money to hire a hitman kidnap whoever is involved in your misery and you torture them 9696 before eventually killing them off.... take a video too and share it with their family members or love ones....
 
Any compensation <100 million USD for his major loss of 46 years and constant fear of death is totally unacceptable let alone 1.4 million lol...... well that amount of 1.4 mil says alot about a fucking country like Japan.

What for. Those guys probably dead by now. At least he was compensated. I think in the US, you are let go Scot free with No money. Even if convicted wrongly.
