Not legally an insanity plea, but FWIW it is an insanity plea - one that pleads that her actions were carried out by some agent of mental incapacitation. Mr. Balwani is far from being any angel, but this sham show seems outrageous.

Being a Japanese resident (PR) now, I did look up this option for a summer home in the woods (Akita, Aichi-ken etc). This is what I learnt, which this article fails to mention: * Akiya houses come with an agreement to reside. Not just be a
