「裁判官37人の判断は違法」がん判明後も7回保釈却下…大川原冤罪事件の遺族が国提訴（テレビ朝日系（ANN）） - Yahoo!ニュース

This page reports on a lawsuit filed by the family of Shizuo Aishima, a former advisor in the Okawara Kagouki wrongful conviction case. Aishima was arrested and diagnosed with gastric cancer while detained. He requested bail seven times but was denied each time. He was finally released when the cancer was advanced and later died. His family sued the state, claiming that 37 judges involved in issuing arrest warrants, detention orders, and denying bail requests acted illegally. They are seeking approximately 170 million yen in compensation. The case highlights concerns about "hostage justice," where bail is more likely to be denied if defendants claim innocence.
