This reminds me of the scene in Shogun (Richard Chamberlain, 1980, etc. Doesn't ring a bell? Do yourself a favor and read the book/watch the film.) where he's in jail and the Spanish Friar tells him: "in Japan, all crimes have only one penalty: Death!" As an aside, my wife is Japanese (born and raised there) and in her mind, once the police or the authorities say something, it's God's Truth. It doesn't help that in Japan, the Emperor is believed to be descended from the Gods. I'm breaking her of that concept, because, let's face it, man is fallible, but it's been an interesting struggle.
