Criticisms
After the closing addresses at the war crimes trial
yesterday, Sakamoto was acquitted on
the ground that there was insufficient evidence against him. Hanada, Kurasawa and Sano re- ceived sentences of 3 years, 6 years and 8 years respectively.
When asked if they had anything to say in mitiga- tion, both Handa and Kurasawa begged for mercy of the British laws. Sano simply asked for a fair conviction."
When Informed that had been acquitted Sakamote satuled the President and Members of the
