017 A 19-year-old committed four fatal shootings in 1968 Japan, leading to a landmark death penalty case that shaped legal standards nationwide.
The provided text, primarily excerpts from a Japanese Wikipedia page on the Norio Nagayama serial murders, details the series of four fatal shootings committed by the then-19-year-old Nagayama in 1968 across four Japanese prefectures. The entries meticulously recount the events of each crime, the subsequent investigation and arrest of Nagayama, and the protracted legal proceedings that followed. A significant portion of the text is dedicated to the criminal trial, spanning from the initial hearings through multiple appeals to the Supreme Court, ultimately resulting in a death sentence and its eventual execution. The overview also touches upon the motivations behind the crimes, the intense legal battles surrounding Nagayama's mental state and the applicability of the death penalty for a minor, and the lasting "Nagayama Standard" established for capital punishment decisions in Japan.
