Then they can request that a judge transfer you to a detention centre for 10 more days. They can ask for a further 10 days on top of that. These requests are almost always granted. During this time, the accused does not have the right to speak with or contact counsel.

You remember them right? I think it would be enlightening to shed a little light on how these 3 got into the system that just kills people. “to just be killing people”

Given how guilty verdicts are arrived at here, I think that there is too much room for error to just be killing people. @Thomas: Singapore commonly sentences people to a beating. Should we really be looking at them as a model of how to be a civilized society? @ChrisB: Remember, this is Japan, where crime suspects are held for questioning for 23 days without a lawyer, and where confessions are beaten out of suspects and then used to secure convictions — well over a 99% conviction rate, actually.

And I would think that from a hanging you'd be unconscious in about 10 seconds with the rope blocking of the carotid arteries (and hence blood flow to the brain). Singapore isn’t a developed country?

No mention of the real victims in this piece? You remember them? The reason they got this sentence? How about an in depth about the crimes/murders they committed and the lasting trauma it has caused the families left behind? Like a famous line from a Clint Eastwood Movie goes: "Don't just hang em'......HANG EM' HIGH!!!" “The real cruelty, however, does not lie in the method of execution,”
