Lost seventeen years, a man wrongfully convicted

Toshikazu Sugaya sentenced to life for the 1990 murder of a 4-year-old girl was freed Thursday from Chiba Prison after 17 years behind bars as prosecutors opted not to challenge a recent DNA test that did not link him with the victim.

There was another false accusation. Why did the court retry the case more early? The DNA test has been improving very much.

Sugaya is 62 years old now. He lost the prime of his life. If I were him, I never forgive the fact. I hope he will live the rest of his life happily.
