Trial of Shinzo Abe’s assassin: The fallout Japan still faces

Japan is about to witness one of its most significant trials in decades. Tetsuya Yamagami, the man accused of assassinating former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2022, is finally going to court. In this episode of Japan Today Spotlight, we look at how Abe’s murder shook Japan’s political system, exposed deep ties between the Unification Church and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and raised troubling questions about institutional power, trauma and responsibility. We also examine why Yamagami has gained public sympathy, and how his trial may bring legal closure — but not resolution — to the issues still echoing across Japan. --------------------------------------------------- ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 Intro: The day that shook Japan 01:26 July 8, 2022: The assassination in Nara 02:23 Who is Tetsuya Yamagami? 04:52 What the court will hear 06:57 Sympathy for the killer 09:35 Fallout for the Unification Church 12:26 Outro: What justice can't decide --------------------------------------------------- 🗨️ Do you think Yamagami deserves any sympathy whatsoever — or the harshest sentence possible?
