岸田元首相を襲撃、被告の懲役10年が確定へ　最高裁が上告棄却：朝日新聞

This page reports on the Supreme Court's dismissal of an appeal filed by Ryuji Kimura (27), who attacked Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Wakayama in April 2023 with a homemade pipe bomb, injuring two people. The first trial sentence of 10 years imprisonment for attempted murder was confirmed. While the defense claimed the defendant lacked intent to kill, the court found he was aware of the bomb's lethal potential, establishing the crime of attempted murder. The motive was attributed to seeking public attention due to his dissatisfaction with age requirements for parliamentary candidacy. The report also highlights inappropriate interrogation tactics used by prosecutors.
