About this page
This page presents a case study from Asahi Shimbun's series on Japan's "hostage justice" system. Marcus Cavazos, an American English teacher, was arrested after receiving a package containing methamphetamine from an acquaintance, though he denied knowledge of its contents. Despite repeatedly requesting bail, his petitions were rejected based on alleged evidence tampering concerns. He endured six months of detention while maintaining his innocence. The article highlights how prolonged detention for those who deny charges can pressure innocent defendants to make false confessions, criticizing this systemic issue. Cavazos was eventually released on bail and acquitted.
